When Katie Rustler moved to Munich in 2016, her therapy credentials weren't recognized - a crushing blow for any licensed professional. But instead of starting over in the German system, she got creative. 

Today, she runs a thriving online practice serving high-achieving international couples from Japan to Dubai, has written two books, appeared on 80+ podcasts, and built communities that have helped hundreds of expat women rebuild their professional confidence.

In this episode, Katie shares her blueprint for turning professional obstacles into opportunities, the Facebook group strategy that built her client base before she officially launched, and why she wishes she'd ignored her German husband's Excel spreadsheet approach to starting her podcast. 

Plus: the cultural clash every American entrepreneur in Germany will recognize, and Katie's upcoming venture supporting women navigating perimenopause while living abroad.
