  • My NIGHTMARE Digital Nomad Trip to Brazil (Here's What Happened) | ep 6

    My NIGHTMARE Digital Nomad Trip to Brazil (Here's What Happened) | ep 6
    Oct 20 2026
    I Left Brazil After 5 Weeks..What happens when your dream digital nomad life turns into a literal nightmare? Moldy Airbnbs, freezing weather, lost luggage, a toddler, and the realization that maybe your life looks a little different than it did before.In this episode, I'm giving you the very real, very unfiltered debrief of my five weeks in Brazil that ended with us booking flights back to the United States instead of continuing our planned six-month adventure through South America.And honestly? It wasn't exactly the digital nomad story I expected to be sharing.After living abroad for two years, running my therapy practice from overseas, and building a life around location independence, I thought I knew what I was doing. But traveling with a 16-month-old, running two businesses, and dealing with one housing disaster after another made me realize just how much my life and priorities have changed.So today, we're getting into all the nitty-gritty details of what went wrong, why I ultimately decided to come home, and what this experience taught me about building a sustainable therapist business while traveling abroad.In this episode, we're talking about:Why our planned six-month South America trip turned into five weeks in Brazil.The travel mishaps that started before we even left the United States.What happened when we discovered mold in multiple Airbnbs and had to keep moving.How weather, walkability, and choosing the wrong location affected our experience in Florianópolis.The reality of balancing motherhood, client work, and growing two businesses while abroad.Why my experience as a digital nomad therapist looks different now than it did before having a child.The surprising realization that building a second business can create more work, not more freedom.Why relying on your therapy practice alone might be the perfect setup for a traveling therapist.How to think about the risks of moving abroad without letting anxiety convince you to give up on your dream.Why becoming a digital nomad doesn't have to be an all-or-nothing decision.What I'm changing about my future travel plans and why I still want to live abroad.Here's what I really want you to take away from this episode: things going wrong doesn't automatically mean this lifestyle isn't for you. Sometimes you need to pivot, reassess your priorities, or go home for a while. That doesn't mean you failed.My experience in Brazil was a reminder that the digital nomad lifestyle isn't always glamorous, and your needs can change as your life changes. But it also reminded me that you can problem-solve your way through a lot more than you think.If you're a therapist dreaming about working abroad, building a location-independent private practice, and seeing your clients while exploring the world, I hope this episode helps you prepare for the realities of that journey without letting fear keep you stuck.Because you don't need a perfect plan or a guarantee that everything will go right. You need a setup that supports your life, your clients, and your ability to adapt when things don't go according to plan.Ready to build your own location-independent therapist business?DM me the words GO ABROAD on Instagram at @digitalnomadtherapist. I'd love to hear about your goals and explore how I can help you build a private practice that allows you to work with the clients you love while living abroad.And if you enjoyed this episode, please leave a five-star review!

  • How to Legally Practice Therapy Abroad: Malpractice Insurance, EHRs & Billing | ep 5

    How to Legally Practice Therapy Abroad: Malpractice Insurance, EHRs & Billing | ep 5
    Oct 13 2026

    👀 Want to make sure you can legally take your therapy practice abroad?

    👉 Download my FREE Legal Guide: The 4 Legal Questions Every Therapist Must Answer Before Moving Abroad

    You have worked your a** off to get your therapy license—so obviously, you’re not about to risk it just because you want to live abroad.

    But your licensing board isn’t the ONLY thing you need to think about when becoming a digital nomad therapist.

    If you want to build a location-independent private practice and continue seeing your US clients while traveling or living abroad, there are a few other legal-ish things you need to have on your radar: your malpractice insurance, your EHR, and how you’re actually billing your clients.

    And thankfully? These things are probably a lot less complicated than you think.

    In this episode, I’m breaking down what therapists need to know about working abroad while maintaining a US-based private practice, including what to look for in your malpractice insurance policy, why your EHR’s terms of service matter, data privacy laws like GDPR, and why platforms like Alma, Headway, Grow, and Rula can make becoming a digital nomad therapist more complicated.

    I’m also sharing why I personally switched from SimplePractice and Sessions Health to Jane, what private pay therapists need to consider when working abroad, and why the legalities of becoming a digital nomad therapist might actually be the EASY part.

    Because the bigger challenge usually isn’t your license.

    It’s building a private practice that actually gives you the freedom to leave.

    And stay until the end because I’m giving you a very real update from Brazil... where our digital nomad trip has basically turned into a mold-infested nightmare. 🙃

    In this episode, we talk about:

    • Malpractice insurance for therapists working abroad
    • What to ask your malpractice insurance provider before traveling
    • Choosing an EHR for a location-independent private practice
    • SimplePractice vs. Sessions Health vs. Jane for digital nomad therapists
    • HIPAA, GDPR, and international data privacy considerations
    • Billing insurance while practicing therapy abroad
    • Alma, Headway, Grow, and Rula location restrictions
    • Private pay therapy and building a location-independent practice
    • Why marketing may be a bigger roadblock than the legalities
    • My very chaotic update from one month of digital nomad life in Brazil

  • Can Therapists See Clients Abroad? The Truth They Won’t Tell You | ep 4

    Can Therapists See Clients Abroad? The Truth They Won’t Tell You | ep 4
    Oct 6 2026
    👀 Have questions if this is the right move for you? DM the word GO ABROAD on Instagram!How the heck do you keep your license safe? Isn't seeing clients from abroad totally against the rules?I get this question in my DMs about once a week, so today we're settling it. 🌍I'm Dr. Annie, a licensed psychologist and digital nomad therapist, and in this episode I'm busting the biggest myth in American therapy culture: that you can't see US clients while living outside the United States. Spoiler: in all the states I've researched, I have yet to find one that explicitly prohibits it. I'm also walking you through exactly how to check your own license, your state, and your licensure type, so you can stop worrying that the licensing board boogeyman is coming for you.If you're a therapist dreaming of a location-independent private practice, this one is for you.IN THIS EPISODE:- Why this myth is so common (hint: COVID confusion, insurance contracts, and PSYPACT rules all got blended together)- How grad school fear-mongering trained us to be terrified of losing our licenses- Why therapists crave certainty, and why that can keep you stuck- How going abroad is a big, scary decision, and how "my license won't allow it" can become the perfect excuse- My step-by-step process for checking your state's telehealth rules on provider location- Why you should never trust an AI summary of your licensing laws (go to the actual board website!)- The 5 things you'll most likely find when you look it up- What to do if it's still unclear: call your malpractice insurance consult line- Why losing your license over this is far less likely than grad school made you believeHOW TO CHECK YOUR LICENSE:1. Google your license type + state + "telehealth rules and regulations for where the provider is located"2. Click through to your actual state licensing board website3. Look for what it says about the client's location vs. the provider's location4. Still unsure? Call your malpractice insurance's free consult line and ask an attorney to help you interpret itImportant: I'm not a lawyer, and this episode is not legal advice. Do your due diligence for your own situation.👉 Book a demo with JaneFirst month free code:DIGITALNOMAD1MOWORK WITH ME:💬 Ready to build a practice you can take anywhere?

    My Journey to Becoming a Digital Nomad Therapist | ep 1
    Jun 7 2026
    🌎 Curious about taking your private practice abroad? DM the word GO ABROAD on Instagram to get started.A question I get all the time, like ALL the time, is: how did you actually become a digital nomad therapist? So for this first episode I'm telling you my story.I'm taking you back to before any of this felt possible. To the version of me sitting in windowless offices in DC, dreaming about my next trip and fully believing that being a therapist meant I had to choose between the career I loved and the life I wanted abroad.I'll tell you about the YouTube video that first put the words "digital nomad" in my head (and how fast I talked myself out of it). The breakup at 29 that cracked my whole life open. The three times I tried to tell my clients I was leaving and chickened out. And the wildly impulsive decision to just… stay in Morocco — where I met my husband two days in, kept seeing my US clients from a little apartment with borrowed wifi, and never really left.This is the story of betting on yourself before you have any proof it's going to work. If you've got that aching feeling that the life you're living isn't it, this one's for you.What I get into:Why I was SO sure being a therapist and living abroad couldn't go togetherThe breakup that turned my life upside down (and weirdly set me free)The list my mom made me write that changed everythingChickening out three times in a row trying to tell my clientsWhy I signed a two-year lease instead of running — and why that was the right callTelling my clients I was leaving, breaking my lease early, and driving across the country with my mom and two catsThe surf-and-yoga retreat in Tagazout and the moment I thought "why don't I just stay?"Seeing US clients for the first time from Morocco (5pm to 1am, didn't tell a soul)Matching with my now-husband on day twoThailand, Bali, giving birth to my daughter Zizi — all while running my practiceThe loneliness that led me to build Digital Nomad TherapistLinks + what's next:🎙️ Next week I'm sharing the BUSINESS side — how I actually built a practice that let me impulsively take off abroad in the first place.📞 If you know you want this and trying to figure it out alone isn't working, book a call with me — let's talk about how I can support you.

  • Welcome to The Digital Nomad Therapist Podcast

    Welcome to The Digital Nomad Therapist Podcast
    Jun 6 2026

    You became a therapist for the freedom and the meaning — so why does it so often feel like a trap?

    I'm Dr. Annie Krajewski, a licensed psychologist who's spent the last few years running my private practice from Morocco, Thailand, and Bali while continuing to see my U.S. clients. In this trailer, I share a little about who I am, why I started this show, and what you can expect each week.

    This podcast is for licensed therapists who want to build a private practice they can run from anywhere in the world. Every week, I'll walk you through what it actually takes to go location-independent — the licensing, the legal and HIPAA pieces, the marketing, the tech, and the mindset work that nobody talks about. You'll hear my story, real stories from therapists who've made this work, and honest, practical guidance from someone who's living it.

    If you've been researching this for months — maybe even years — and still haven't made a move, this show is for you.

    Hit subscribe so you don't miss the first episodes, and I'll see you inside.
