This Pediatrician Moved to France. Here’s how she made it work.

BREAKING NEWS: Your medical degree is NOT a life sentence. 🚨

Let me introduce you to the most badass career pivot you’ve ever imagined.

Meet Dr. Carrie Reynolds—a pediatric gastroenterologist who looked at the traditional medical career and said, “NOPE.”

Instead, she packed up her white coat and moved to Carcassonne, France—a legit medieval town complete with castles, baguettes, and a slower, sweeter pace of life. 🏰🥖🌞

And here’s the kicker: she did it WITHOUT a full-time clinical job. 🤯

Watch our full chat below 

Here’s a sneak peek of what you’ll learn: 

✅ How Carrie funds her life in France with a creative mix of U.S.-based locums + non-clinical work (think: real estate and relocation consulting 👀)

✅ Her refreshingly honest take on learning French, enrolling her daughter in public school, and navigating immigration (spoiler: it’s easier than you think)

✅ How she “pitched” the idea of moving abroad to her husband and teenage daughter 💡

✅ The quirks of French life (including why everyone takes a 2-hour lunch 😍)

✅ And her golden advice to physicians dreaming of living abroad (it’s way more affordable than you think)

This is the story you didn’t know you needed to hear.
