FORGET THE GREAT RESIGNATION, RELOCATION IS WHERE HAPPINESS IS AT IN 2022

Hi 

I hope my email finds you well.

I am getting in touch as my third book comes out in May and I thought it might be of interest to you and your audience.

Published by Hachette, How to Relocate is the ultimate guide to packing up and starting over somewhere new, something people have been thinking about over the past two years.

Far from simply being a book of checklist, this is an essential, comprehensive, and positive guide for anyone who spends hours scrolling Rightmove looking for that perfect new location and home. They dream about escaping the safety of their humdrum life but aren’t quite brave enough to make that leap towards a life they love in a place that makes them happy.

The full press release is below, and I can offer book extracts, competition and review copies, I’m happy to do interviews and write guest pieces, and of course have images.

I do hope this is something you will be interested in, and I look forward to hearing from you.  

Many thanks in advance for your time and consideration.

Natalie


FORGET THE GREAT RESIGNATION, RELOCATION IS WHERE HAPPINESS IS AT IN 2022

 

For anyone with a desire to wake up to the sound of waves, who hankers for a small holding, or wants to try life in the big smoke, How to Relocate by Natalie Trice, is the perfect read. This post-Covid confidence boosting book will empower readers to finally take a leap of faith and live their life somewhere they truly want to be.

 

Just as the ‘great resignation' is sweeping the corridors of offices around the world, as people strive for a better work life balance, living near work is no longer necessary for many. This shift makes relocating more of reality than ever for those brave enough to make the move. 

 

How to Relocate is for anyone toying with relocating, on the precipice of making that decision, or in the throes of creating an exciting new life for themselves. From navigating school systems and forging new friendships, to sorting out finances and checking out the weather, this book covers the practical elements of starting over, while offering emotional support using a cheerleading approach. The author, an accredited life coach, shares the stories of those who have successfully relocated, added hints and tips from experts and talks of her relocation adventures around the world since she left home at 18.

 

Natalie says, "Being able to walk on the beach and swim in the sea during lockdown was a saving grace for me and one more nod to the move we made six years ago to Devon. We'd been living in the rat race, growing our businesses, and navigating our younger son's chronic medical condition and had reached breaking point. Something needed to give, so we packed up our lives, followed our hearts to the coast and we've never been happier or stronger. Was it hard? Yes. Was everyone else as excited about it as us? No. Was it worth it? Absolutely. Given the monumental shifts since Covid and the rafts of people swapping soulless commutes and water cooler gossip cliques for home office working and online networking, living somewhere you love, rather than a place you feel you have to be, really can happen. We live ten minutes from the beach, which we walk on most day with our dogs, which is great exercise and boosts our mental wellbeing. However, more than this, we live a true, authentic life as ourselves and that has been life changing, liberating and empowering on so many levels."

 

She adds, "This book isn't a series of checklists but a self-development adventure that deep dives into the emotions behind packing up and starting over. It's about silencing the doubts, and the doubters, so you can walk the path to happiness and find a sense of belonging in a place you've always wanted to be. While moving somewhere new doesn't change the core of who you are and it's a magic wand for a happy ever after, living where you love, in a community you feel a part of, can be the key to happiness and contentment, something many of us have reflected on during the pandemic. I hope my words, the advice of experts, and the stories from others will give readers the confidence and inspiration to relocate and empower them to make their dreams come true, just like we did."
