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.

Overcoming the Four Main Challenges Faced by Global Movers

In this episode, Clare talks through the four main challenges faced by global movers. Helping you to confront and overcome the challenges of - pressure to perform in a new job, changes in family dynamics, the logistics of finding new housing and adapting to a new culture. 

Clare also announces her new Facebook group, Moving Countries 101 with Clare Kay - where listeners can connect, share, and find support beyond the podcast.


KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • There is no grace period. From day one, you have to deliver results in your new job.
  • If you do not perform in the job, you cannot look after your family, who are likely to already be feeling quite vulnerable.
  • Each family member will be experiencing the move in a different way and be facing different challenges.
  • Sometimes your spouse will not be legally able to work, which can affect the family dynamic.
  • Even when a spouse can work they may not be able to stay on the career trajectory they were on previously.
  • In many countries finding a new home throws up unexpected challenges e.g. all of the movers are booked up months in advance.
  • Some cultural adaptions you will like, others you will struggle with.
  • Even something that seems simple can be more challenging than you expect e.g. adapting to the weather.
  • All of these pressures together have an accumulative effect which can mean that something relatively small knocks you off course.
  • Clare is currently pulling together meaningful, practical and up to date resources to serve global professionals and their families as they settle into their new countries.


BEST MOMENTS

“The top four problems that nearly every global mover encounter are not just small inconveniences.”

“You often have to hit the ground running in your new job.”

“Sometimes the burden on you, the new hire, can be immense, because perhaps your family is going to follow you in a few months.”

“Each member of the family is having a unique experience and seeing life from their perspective.”

“You're not alone in your endeavours.”

“It's not that each challenge comes up in steps, they all come up at once.”

“This podcast has been a wonderful journey, and I am very grateful for everyone who's been there with me.”
