In this episode, I interviewed Jenifer Ortiz, a trauma counselor and missionary, who shares her journey from aspiring pediatrician to trauma counseling and mission work in Southeast Asia. We discuss the importance of faith in overcoming personal struggles, the challenges of cultural sensitivity while spreading the gospel, and the significance of self-care and personal growth.

Jenifer emphasizes the need for women to embrace their identity and purpose while waiting for their kingdom marriage, and the importance of healing before entering into relationships. The conversation highlights the intersection of entrepreneurship, spirituality, and social impact, encouraging listeners to step out of their comfort zones and pursue their calling.

I walked away from my recent career as a Flight Attendant back in 2022 to pursue full-time entrepreneurship to have more time-freedom and peace of mind. I recently completed 6 years of military service in the United States Air Force Reserves. Shortly after leaving my Flight Attendant job in 2022, my husband and I took a month long sabbatical and traveled to Bali, Indonesia then Bangkok Thailand and simply fell in love.

What makes a Jamaican woman leave the U.S. behind and move her family across the world to Southeast Asia?

In this video, I’m sharing the real reasons why we chose Thailand—and why we didn’t look back.

🌍 The truth is… the American Dream wasn’t working for us.Between the high cost of living, the burnout culture, and feeling like we were constantly on edge, we knew there had to be another way.

And we found it.

💛 Here’s what I’m talking about in this video:

Why distance from the U.S. was intentional

What Thailand offers compared to the U.S and Jamaica

Why the family-first culture changed everything for us

What surprised me about healthcare, community, and everyday life

And why, as a Jamaican mom, Thailand feels more like home.

I’m not saying everyone should leave the U.S.—but if you’ve ever felt like the system wasn’t built for your peace… this video is for you.🎯 Drop a comment: Would you move abroad?
