    76: Norwegian Christmas Traditions my Family & Friends Love
    Dec 19 2025

    Christmas is a time for traditions — from family rituals to national customs — that connect us to our roots and bring warmth during the darkest season. In this episode, I share what Christmas looks like in my life in Norway, where Nordic winter landscapes, candlelight, snow, and festive gatherings set the scene.

    Join me as I explore cherished family and Norwegian traditions, including pepperkaker (gingerbread) baking workshops, cosy Christmas parties, Norwegian Christmas markets filled with handmade gifts, Advent celebrations, and the excitement of the first snowfall and tobogganing. Blending my Norwegian and English family heritage, we create a unique holiday culture full of joy, togetherness, and simple seasonal magic.

    Whether you’re curious about Christmas in Norway, looking for festive tradition ideas, or simply want to feel the warmth of Nordic holiday rituals, this episode is for you. Share your own family traditions or join the conversation in the Living a Nordic Life Facebook group.

    75: How Norse Mythology Still Matters; The Epic of the Eddas
    Dec 5 2025

    From stormy seas to streaming screens, Norse myths refuse to fade. The Eddas still shape Nordic identity—whispering of resilience, trickery, and hope. These aren’t relics of the past; they’re stories that live, adapt, and bind us across time.

    74: What is self care and do we even care?
    Nov 21 2025

    Self care is more than a few fluffy blankets, an indulgent lunch or an hour in a bubble bath. It's a deep, sustainable and grown up commitment to our own mental and physical wellbeing. But how does that look and can we even achieve it?
