Ulonda Harris: Locating Cozy in Zaragoza – From Burnout to Belonging

There comes a point when staying costs more than leaving.

For Ulonda Harris, the journey to belonging began with burnout. After years of feeling exhausted by the pace and rising cost of life in Texas, she never imagined that living abroad would be part of her story—even though her daughter had already built a life in Spain. But one late-night YouTube search sent her down a rabbit hole that would change everything.

Today, Ulonda calls Zaragoza, Spain, home.

In this episode, Ulonda shares how she went from feeling stuck to creating a softer, more intentional life abroad. As the creator of Locating Cozy, she's helping other Black women redefine what home, freedom, and peace can look like—one intentional decision at a time.

Together, we explore the realities of burnout, the courage it takes to choose a different path, and why moving abroad wasn't about running away—it was about finally choosing herself.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why the true cost of staying isn't always financial
• What it's really like to build a life in Zaragoza, Spain
• Why community and support can make all the difference when starting over
• How Ulonda is helping other Black women "locate their cozy" and create lives rooted in peace

If you've ever wondered whether there's more to life than simply getting by, this conversation is a reminder that sometimes the greatest investment you can make is in your own peace.
