After losing her job, Kelly Peeler made a bold decision: she bought and renovated a home on the Greek island of Milos—with no prior experience—and transformed it into an art residency designed for women to rest, create, and connect.Kelly shares how burnout and years of living nomadically across Europe led her to Greece, why she chose Milos, and the vision behind building a global ecosystem for female artists.We also dive into the practical side of making a move like this, including what it takes to buy property in Greece as a foreigner, how she searched for homes abroad, and what surprised her most about the cost of living, healthcare, and everyday life.If you've ever dreamed about moving abroad, starting over, or designing a life that feels more aligned with who you are today, this conversation will leave you inspired to think bigger about what's possible.Want to build your own art residency? Kelly is hosting a LIVE workshop sharing key mistakes to avoid before you spend a cent and how to map out clear next steps for your specific situation.
