T.E.R.I. Talks Inner Circle, Founding Members

You heard the conversation. This is where it continues.

Your expat life begins on the inside.

A community for Americans of Color who are becoming, and living as, American Expats โ€” with the emotional clarity and ongoing support the journey deserves.

Why the T.E.R.I. Talks Inner Circle

Leaving your country is never easy. For Americans of Color, there's an added weight: the emotional baggage of American racism, bias and prejudice. The Inner Circle is a place to unpack that baggage without needing a hazmat suit and an oxygen mask.

Every American expat journey moves through four phases

  1. 1

    Deciding

    Making the decision to become an American Expat.

  2. 2

    Preparing

    Getting ready to go, inside and out.

  3. 3

    Arriving

    Showing up at your destination the way you want to.

  4. 4

    Settling in

    Creating your legacy life abroad.

One of the biggest drains on your time and money along the way isn't paperwork or logistics. It's trying to get your mental and emotional state aligned with the phase you're in. When your thinking is clear of anger, resentment, fear, rejection and confusion, your decisions become more efficient and effective, and you move forward faster.

Moving abroad is a major expense. How many times have you paid for a decision you didn't fully think through? The sooner you're talking things through with people on the same journey, and working on what's specific to your next step, the sooner you'll get where you want to be.

Two things make the difference on this journey.

  1. i.The quality of your mental and emotional state
  2. ii.Ongoing support

That's what the Inner Circle is built to give you.

Teri Dawn Marshall

Nice to meet you.

I'm Teri Dawn Marshall

For more than 40 years, I've guided people through mental and emotional shifts at the core level โ€” the kind that create profound, lasting change in identity, belief and behavior. My work blends Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Spiritual Development principles, and the wisdom of my own life's journey.

My passion has always been helping people arrive at the truth:

  • You Are Enough.
  • You Are Good.
  • You Are So Deserving of All That Is Good.

Following that passion led me to people who ask more of themselves โ€” people who want to evolve beyond the ordinary.

My career background

For the last 35 years, I've worked in NLP and Core Transformation as a Trainer, Executive Leadership Coach and NLP Mentor Coach. I've also worked as a radio talk show Producer and Host.

  • Certified NLP Trainer
  • Core Transformation Trainer
  • Ericksonian Hypnotherapist
  • Spiritual Development Teacher

Why I started the T.E.R.I. Talks Community

As a future American Expat myself, I realized two things.

First

Moving abroad isn't just about packing bags and meeting visa and residency requirements. It's also about releasing what American racism, bias and prejudice have left us carrying, so we can truly live the life we're moving toward.

Second

I had the skills to help you do just that. And it doesn't have to take a lifetime to become who you want to be.
