About this listen

Growing up in rural Iceland, raising a daughter as a young, single mom brings unique challenges and rewards. In this episode, I sit down with Asa Porsteinsdottir to explore the balance between isolation and community, the impact of Iceland’s progressive maternity and paternity leave policies, and the benefits of fresh, albeit expensive, local foods. We also delve into the pros and cons of parenting in this stunning but cold part of the world, sharing insights on what makes Iceland an unforgettable place to raise a family.
