I Said I Wasn't Leaving Mexico — Then Summer Happened Solo Woman Over 50

When you're a solo woman over 50 living abroad, nobody warns you about the emotional cost. I said I wasn't leaving Mexico — then summer happened and I booked a flight back to Canada. This isn't a holiday. It's an experiment in living unsettled — moving around Vancouver Island while running my business. But the deeper reason is something nobody talks about: the hidden cost of living in Mexico alone. Not rent or flights or car insurance — the cost of missing your people, your rhythms, the belly laughs you can't replicate anywhere else.I came back anyway because some things are worth paying for. And being here for the summer has already clarified things I didn't expect — about what I want, what I don't, and why Mexico slowed me down in a way I didn't even know I needed.If you're a woman starting over after 50, trying to hold two lives at once — this one's for you. 📩 Subscribe for honest conversations about living alone, starting over, and building a life on your own terms after 50: https://www.aprilcorbett.com/aohon • Coaching calls at a reduced rate FOR LIFE: aprilcorbett.com/urtime • Business strategy: aprilcorbett.com/bizst • Website: aprilcorbett.com #soloWomanOver50 #lifeAfter50 #livingAbroad #expatLife #mentalHealthMatters #VancouverIsland #PuertoVallarta #startingover ▼ Disclaimer: This post may contain affiliate links, which means I receive a small commission at no extra cost to you if you make a purchase using these links.
