Ep 3: Sustaining a Global Career & Finding Your Spark in Bangkok

From Diplomat to Nomad: 29-Year Career, Burnout, & Thailand's 5-Year DTV For every mature woman feeling burned out and who is dreaming of a graceful exit, this episode is your permission slip. I sit down with Yvette Malcioln, a retired Foreign Service Officer who wrapped up a 29-year career with USAID and reinvented herself as a newly minted "digital nomad" in Bangkok, Thailand. Yvette shares the real-life blueprint for sustaining a meaningful global career without losing yourself—and what happens when the 9-to-5 finally ends. (  / yvette.malci  ) In this episode, we explore: The 29-Year Secret: How Yvette avoided career burnout for decades by relentlessly pursuing interests that "no one else had to understand." The Approval Trap: Navigating family skepticism about major life decisions like joining the Peace Corps and choosing a non-traditional retirement. Logistical Clarity: The Thailand 5-Year DTV (Destination Thailand Visa) trick that bypassed the costly requirements of the Retirement Visa, and why it's a vital option for women over 50 considering slow travel. Finding Your Place: Practical strategies for building spiritual community and deep connections in a new country when online services just aren't enough.
