The Ikea Episodes

We are Sarah and Djamila, two international friends living in Copenhagen. In the Ikea Episodes, we are taking you on our monthly Ikea-date where we talk about life and its challenges while finding our way out of a maze of furniture. We hope that by sharing our thoughts and personal stories, we will make you reflect, relax and feel less alone in this crazy world <3 We would also love to start a proper conversation with you all, which is why we have created the Instagram @theikeaepisodes. We invite you to react there, share your feedback, your views on the subject and your ideas for future episodes! You can also email us or connect with us on Facebook. Bonne écoute! With love The Ikea Girls

A new episode, a new IKEA-date 🛋️✨

And guess what... this time, we are not alone!!! Please join us into welcoming Micaela, our very first guest on The Ikea Episodes!

Micaela is a dear friend of ours and it was such an honour to have her inaugurate this new chapter of the podcast. We sat down to talk about languages, accents and life as a polyglot. We hope that this episode will speak to all expats & other language-nerds 🫶

Oh, how we've MISSED our Ikea family! 

Season 2 is finally here and we hope you are ready for it 😍 Tune in for an upgraded version of your beloved Ikea Episodes: new logo, new jingle, new segment... and many more surprises to come!

This month, as we meet around a smoothie (homemade, not from IKEA!), we are finally showing you our true faces. One's a good girl: sweet, well-behaved and a slight people pleaser. The other's a bad b*tch:...

✨ Episode 10 is HERE! ✨ 

And it’s not just any episode… it’s the grand finale of Season One! 

For our big 10th, we went on a journey to where it all began — the first ever IKEA, the IKEA Museum, and spent the night at the only IKEA Hotel. 🛏️ Yes, it was iconic. Yes, we cried. Yes, we recorded in bed! 

We’re wrapping up this chapter with full hearts and hilarious memories. Thank you for riding with us through 10 episodes of chaos, mea...

Welcome back to The Ikea Episodes! 

For episode 9, one of our dear listeners asked us: "What is your favourite place?". Simple question, you might say... But don't get fooled: the Ikea girls had a lot more to talk about than the IKEA cafeteria! So tune in for this month's in-depth conversation, where we take you on a mental journey around the places that shaped us and where we find shelter in this crazy world.

As usual, let's meet on...

Merry Christmas to all our Ikea Episodes family! 

No, this month's episode is NOT a Christmas special, although the theme is quite a festive one... 

This time we met at IKEA to talk about: music! And more particularly traditional music, as suggested this month's lovely contributor, our dear friend Towhid. As Towhid said, traditional music is "a bridge between cultures. We don't need to get a visa to travel to their world. We need to ...
