Episode 63 - Worldschooling, Property, and the Pursuit of Freedom with Julie Talbot

Have you ever dreamed of building a life that lets you live, work, and travel anywhere in the world - without giving up financial stability or family time?

This week on It’s a Mindset, I’m joined by Julie Talbot, a UK property investor, strategist, and freedom seeker who’s redefining success by putting time and location freedom first.

As an expat stay-at-home mum, Julie discovered that growing a UK property portfolio was the perfect “job” - flexible, family-friendly, and totally location-independent. Over the past decade, she’s built and managed over 40 projects for herself and her clients, all without setting foot back in the UK.

Now, she slow travels full-time with her husband and twin daughters, embracing worldschooling over the school run and showing what it truly means to live life on your own terms.

As someone who’s been reflecting on freedom as one of my deepest personal values, I found this conversation incredibly inspiring. Julie is living proof that when you design your life intentionally, not by default, the rewards go far beyond financial.

Key Episode Takeaways

• What worldschooling really is - and how it creates freedom and connection as a family
• Why defining what freedom means to you is essential before you can build it
• How the best lessons in property investing often come from your biggest mistakes
• Why slow travelling full-time can actually be more affordable than a traditional lifestyle
