Hi Guys, It is not possible for me to record, edit and keep up with making episodes during our summer break, I always take school breaks off to spend time with family and resting.. I am not a great multitasker:)! I will leave links to some older episodes which I think you would enjoy and I'll see you back here in August for more intentional living content. Happy summer!

One year ago I did a 6 weeks digital detox or Declutter as Cal Newport calls it. I seriously edited down my time on screens; Tv, Streaming, Social media scrolling and family admin got an overhaul too. It is now a year ago, and I want to share how it is going, what are my habits now, did I slide back into my old habits? Did I stick with most of my new habits? And how did the digital detox change the way I move through my day.. spoil...

Summer break is coming up, so let's look into what strategies we can use, so we have a fun and restfull summer.

I share our strategies of how we plan our breaks, how we schedule, space things out. No matter what kind of vacation you are ...

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 just have t...

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 beautiful ...

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 super easy...

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 rhythms we have found helpful. I hop...

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...
