I know I’ve been a little quiet- moving countries + settling in with twins has been… A LOT 😅
But I’m finally getting back to posting!

Here’s Part 2 of why we moved to India after 17 years in the US.
This one is about healthcare, maternity leave, motherhood — and everything in between.

For anyone who’s never dealt with the US healthcare system… here’s a little context.
Before insurance even helps, you first have to hit your yearly deductible. Meaning every doctor visit, test whatever it is, you pay until hitting the out of pocket deductible.
For us, that was $14,000 out of pocket on top of monthly premiums.
The cheapest plan we were quoted for just the two of us was $1,600/month with a $15,000 deductible.
That didn’t even include our twins.
So even simple concerns became expensive, slow, and stressful.

Our journey won’t be everyone’s, but it’s ours… and we’re shaping it in the way that feels best for us. 💛
Thank you for following our journey with so much love.

These clips are from when we were packing our house into boxes last year. We shipped everything to India, and those boxes are finally arriving soon — I’ll keep you posted! 🤞🏽📦
