How to Move Abroad (Without Forcing It): The Power of Intuition & Divine Timing with Nicolle Merrilyne


What if your next big move—whether it’s across the world or deep within—wasn’t about figuring it out, but about feeling it through?


In this episode, Shannon sits down with Nicolle Merrilyne, a Certified Intuitive Energy Healer, Medium, and Meditation Teacher who recently left California to follow her intuition—and her spirit guides—all the way to Spain.


Together, they explore how grounding, energy healing, and intuitive guidance can shape a life abroad and support personal growth along the way. Nicolle shares her own spiritual awakening, her unexpected path into intuitive healing during the pandemic, and what it really felt like to move abroad with no backup plan—just trust.


You’ll also hear how to:

  • Use meditation to sharpen your intuition

  • Protect your energy while adjusting to expat life

  • Recognize when a past life might be influencing your present

  • Build community with intention, wherever you are


This one is part spiritual toolkit, part expat story, and full of insights for anyone feeling that soul-nudge to leap—whether it’s across oceans or into the unknown.
