  • 96: How to Embrace the Nordic Granny Aesthetic
    Sep 11 2026

    Step into the world of Nordic Grannycore—a quietly powerful aesthetic rooted in slow living, seasonal rhythm, and everyday craftsmanship. In this episode, we explore the comforting rituals that define it: knitting warm gifts for winter, baking with butter and memory, cooking from scratch, tending small northern gardens, fermenting as a form of patience, and taking slow hikes through wild, quiet landscapes.

    This isn’t nostalgia for its own sake—it’s a living tradition of care, resilience, and connection to place. Join us as we talk about why these old skills feel newly relevant, and how they offer a gentler way of moving through modern life.

  • 95: Could I Ever Leave Norway?
    Aug 28 2026

    After years of living in Norway, I’ve started asking myself a question I never expected: could I ever leave Norway?

    In this personal episode, I reflect on life in Norway, Norwegian culture, belonging, and what it means to call somewhere home — while quietly wondering whether my future might eventually take me back to the UK.

    A personal reflection on living in Norway, moving abroad, returning home, and finding where you truly belong.

  • 94: The Nordic Obsession With Wild Swimming
    Aug 27 2026

    In this episode, we dive into the Nordic obsession with wild swimming—why people across Scandinavia willingly plunge into icy lakes, fjords, and seas the moment summer arrives. It looks extreme from the outside, but for locals it’s pure joy, ritual, and a way of fully stepping into the season. We explore the shock, the stillness that follows, and the quiet magic of cold water in a place where summer never lasts long enough.
