Daniel White moved from the UK to Sweden in early 2020, was thrust into the zealous world of a start-up incubator only to have a global pandemic distill down his life to working from his living room and hustling to support the struggling service industry in Stockholm. All in the space of 3-4 months. I had […]
Welcome back to the Swede-ish podcast! Allow me a moment for honesty. When I started this season at the beginning of the year I was super excited about getting stuck back into #podlife, opening up the world of life between two cultures and everything swede-ish. But life happened and sucked a lot of the creative […]
"I wish I had had this conversation 6 years ago..." Understanding the value of the connections you make building your communities and how to make the most of them with Shaena Harrison, über connector and LinkedIn maven.
The merits of having a plan are a-plenty, but what if it's getting in the way of you seeing the multitude of chances to start afresh, do something new and find a completely new side to yourself?
Did you know that Swede's lived in other countries, too? LOL, yes of course you did. But, sometimes it's easy to forget that there is another side to being Swede-ish. I'm delighted to welcome Linnea Dunne, author, journalist, columnist and general all-round wordsmith, to the Swede-ish podcast. Originally from Sweden, Linnea now lives in Ireland. In this week's episode of the podcast we talk about whether or not life is greener on the other side of the fence of Swede-ish-ness, seeing Sweden from an outsider's perspective, and female migration in general. Head to our weblink to find all the ways to read Linnea's work and read more.

STOP, PAUSE... grab a pen! If you are one of the 21.2% of foreign born people living in Sweden looking for a job, this episode is for you.
We asked our listeners on Instagram to send in their burning questions about job hunting so we could ask an expert, Marianne from Incluso ( staffing and recruitment specialists with a focus on foreign talent). We were inundated with questions!! We tried our best to squeeze every single one of them.
Going to the doctor is tough at the best of times, but navigating a foreign healthcare system is a mental boxing match. Anita, from Gothenburg, was brave enough to chat to us about her broad experience of the Swedish healthcare system. Including some VERY embarrassing situations at a walk in Akuten and the struggles to get her endometriosis taken seriously.
An oldie, but a goodie - revamped, re-edited by Cécile and sounding awesome. This interview was originally recorded in 2018 but is still so so pertinent today. We thought it would be good to bring it back and shine a big bright light on what the purpose of this podcast is... sharing intersectional stories of immigrants. You guys are the super heroes.
"It's pretty scary putting yourself out there...".
Sam Govender has years of experience setting up events and mixers for international women to make friends, but even she feels the pressure sometimes. Anyone who has attended a meet-up, networking event or social group event has probably felt a tinge of anxiety about walking into a room full of strangers with the weight of expectation on them and about meeting people.
In this episode Sam offers her top tips on how to make friends and influence people abroad.
From Jokkmokk to Jönköping. In this week's episode of the podcast, Kat & Jill take a virtual road trip through Sweden stopping off at some of their most memorable road side moments and close encounters across Sweden.

"Language is a tool, not a measure of intelligence"
"Language is a tool, not a measure of intelligence…" What started as an enquiry into language development turned into a proper schooling on the social and cultural alternating of language and intonations used by so many communities.
With special guest Opal Coote, teacher, psychology graduate and polyglot.
"Seriously re think going away for Sportlov, just don't do it this year." Dr Maja's message from frontline workers in the COVID 19 pandemic in Sweden.
In the first episode of 2021 we wanted to hear straight from the front lines of the COVID 19 pandemic in Sweden. What was the situation really like in hospitals and care facilities across Sweden.
An intimate, open and fun conversation with the British Ambassador to Sweden, Judith Gough. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and the impending departure from the EU, the British Ambassador's first year in Sweden has been no less quiet. But - annorlunda.
Huge thanks to the team at the British Embassy for making this conversation happen. Merry Christmas to all of our wonderful listeners in Sweden and the rest of the world.
Women in conversation... did we pass it? Umm... dubious. In between the 'hot or not', the peaks and pitfalls of parenting multilingual kids, Kat's interior decorating and encounters of the famous kind - we recon we passed 50%-ish. YIKES.
Inspired by the author and Instagram maven Alex Elle, Kat and Jill are letting go of 2020. In our penultimate episode, we're discussing the choices we're making that will help us shed the challenges and embrace the change brought about by 2020.
