Moving Countries 101
Whether you’re moving for work, love, or lifestyle, one truth remains: relocating is about more than the destination. Host Clare Kay leads you on a quest to create a life abroad: the paradox of arriving in a new destination, yet discovering the real journey is the ongoing experience of making another country home.
Clare is your essential guide to navigating the complexities of moving countries and realising the benefits of a new lifestyle. Drawing on her extensive international experience, Clare helps you uncover both the dreams and the realities of relocation, from the logistics of settling in to the emotional and cultural shifts that shape daily life.
Through authentic guest stories and Clare’s solo observations, you’ll gain practical guidance and fresh perspectives to prepare you mentally and emotionally for life abroad. You’ll hear from global movers who have relocated for jobs, relationships, family, or lifestyle, and learn how they handled the challenges and opened up to the opportunities.
Their stories illustrate how moving unsettles us emotionally, physically, culturally, and spiritually, but each conversation shows how moving countries provokes growth, awareness, and possibilities.
🎧 Tune in for revealing insights, heartfelt reflections, and uplifting moments that inspire confidence, connection, and clarity as you create a fulfilling life abroad.

In this episode, Clare is joined by Isabel Mislinay a business coach who specializes in the area of real estate. Thirty-seven years ago, she left an incredibly comfortable life in Ecuador to chase love and moved to Los Angeles. She shares what it was like to move between two radically different cultures.
Isabel took advantage of the education system in the USA to create opportunities for herself and leveraged her bilingualism. She also talks about embracing her new identity as an American and growing to truly love her new country.
Since arriving in the USA from Ecuador, Isabel Mislinay has built a diverse career spanning sales, marketing, and the music industry before devoting 24 years to real estate. Frustrated by inefficiencies in the home-buying process, she became a licensed loan officer, expanding her expertise. Partnering with her husband, they grew a successful real estate business despite the 2008 downturn. During the pandemic, Isabel shifted focus to personal development, becoming a certified Life Coach in 2022. Now, as a High-Performance Coach incorporating NLP and AI, she empowers entrepreneurs to scale their businesses while navigating market challenges.
