After an overwhelming season in my life I found myself needing a reset in a few areas of life. Morten and I made a list and I've implemented practices that I know will help me get back to the healthy rythems that help me thrive. This is a personal episode and very up to date and I want to share it because, sometimes life just gets chaotic and It's helpfull to know that there are other people out there who also sometimes j...

It is so easy to get stuck in our patterns and just keep doing the same tested ad tried things again and again. But trying something new, challenging our Brains, is so Good for us. I have set myself the challenge to make 80% of my own clothes.. that is not an easy challenge, and to get there I sometimes have to do projects that really stretch my brain capacity. But it could be in any area of life.. when we try something new, we exp...

We are all so different and in today's episode, I talk about the beauty in our talents being as diverse as they are. We have to get better at celebrating our differences also when it comes to our gifts. Some are good at reading others at sewing, baking, painting, running or knitting and the list could go on. When we learn to celebrate each others talent differences, bring it out and encourage it, the world becomes a more beaut...

This week I dive into my own experience with practicing gratitude and share why it's one of the most powerful things we can practice. When we choose to focus on the good things in our lifestyle, our brains get trained to see the positives more quickly. It is not a quick miracle cure, it is the slow and gentle practice, everyday over a period that will get you results. Luckily it doesn't require much time or energy and is ...

In this episode we have an honest conversation about when and what can pull us back into scrolling. We usually avoid it, but there are times and events going on that does pull us back in. Healthy screen habits are like all other habits, sometimes we slide or sidetrack a bit and then we have to get back on track.

Introducing a weekly rest day has been one of the biggest game changers for us. It has changed the way we move through the rest of the week. It has also tought us how to ACTUALLY rest, I'm not sure we knew how before we started sabbath-ing. In Danish, it's called "hviledag" which translates to "Resting Day". In this episode I share how we do it, and what rhyth...

Today I Interview Morten (my husband) about how he navigates screentime and what boundaries he sets - and finally, his motivation for doing it. Morten was the first-mover in our family to set boundaries for screen time and he really did an awesome job in sticking to it for the past 4-5 years. So I find it very fitting to bring him on and let him inspire us. He never checks the news, he never binges a series, and the few social medi...

This episode starts off my mini-series about our homes. Decorating is fun, and making our homes reflect who we are can be really powerful. It just often leads to a lot of money being spent (and natural resources being used!). We always try to limit our footprint on this planet which means getting really creative when it comes to an area like our home. This week I walk you though our fun mission to fix the acoustics in our dining ro...

Making homemade gifts for people is fun, but I've learned by experience, that a bit of planning is a good idea. I like to make a lot of gifts, and I usually start early, so I have plenty of time to enjoy the process. I also share some ideas on how to consider your friend or family members' love language, when planning what to make for them.

With the Christmas season coming up, I also touch on the core of Christmas, Jesus w...

The past 14 years I've navigated pretty strictly by my top3 priorities. They have helped us make decisions (big and small). They helped us pay of our debt way faster than the bank estimated and travel while doing it. To me, priorities is a under-valued tool that everyone can benefit from.
