She talks about her first trips back to Iran and Colombia as an adult, and how those identities have evolved for her over the years. Cepee then talks about her decision to hit refresh at age 35, quit her traditional job in the U.S. and move to Spain. She opens up about her journey into remote work, entrepreneurship, and how the move abroad empowered her to reinvent herself in her 30s. Cepee explains how adopting an immigrant mindset can be as superpower, and how moving abroad can give us the freedom to be more creative, try new things, and become the person we really want to be. She gives tips on building a business, designing a travel lifestyle, and explains how her community “She Hit Refresh” helps women over 30 improve their lives by moving abroad.
