In this episode of the Go Borderless podcast, Mari Juk explores the complex experience of dealing with loss while living abroad. She shares her personal stories of losing loved ones from a distance and the unique challenges that expats face, including feelings of isolation, guilt, and the struggle for closure. Mari discusses the concept of living losses, where relationships fade due to distance and misunderstandings, and offers practical strategies for coping with grief and finding peace. The episode emphasizes the importance of acknowledging all forms of loss, whether through death or estrangement, and the need for self-compassion in the grieving process.

In this inaugural episode of the Go Borderless podcast, host Mari Juk shares her remarkable journey from growing up in post-Soviet Estonia to founding MYEXPATGO in Malaysia. Mari reveals how Estonia's extraordinary transformation from Soviet occupation to global digital leader shaped her perspective on borderless living and international mobility.

Discover how Estonia—a tiny Baltic nation of just 1.3 million people—became the world's most advanced digital society through innovations like nationwide school internet access in 1997, the revolutionary X-Road data exchange system, and the pioneering e-ID digital identity platform. Mari introduces listeners to the "Estonian Edge"—how this small nation turned limitations into strengths through agility, global mindset, transparency, and cultural pragmatism.

Mari connects Estonia's digital revolution to her vision for transforming international relocation, sharing five powerful lessons for embracing borderless living in today's interconnected world. The episode concludes with announcements about the upcoming "Moving Simplified" course launching May 19th and a preview of the next episode featuring India's High Commissioner to Namibia discussing diplomatic relocations.
