Summer's here, and I'm sharing slices of life in slow, relaxing Norwegian. Perfect for *language learning or unwinding*. I'll take you along on a campervan trip, recount a visit to a wind tunnel with my daughter, and share updates on my upcoming book project.

If you have not watched Ren Gill in his performance of "Hi Ren" you're in for a treat! It is the most captivating song, or shall I say masterpiece, I have ever heard. I get the chills each time! I went from being not at all interested in reaction videos, to a "Hi Ren" reaction video junkie! I've watched a few! It is so satisfying to se other peoples jaw drop to the floor. IF YOU ARE A HUMEN, this will give you the chills! And perhaps tears, anger and joy. Connection is the feeling I get, and I love Ren and all the people reacting to his stuff, because you can watch the humanness of us all appear!  Link to Hi Ren: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_nc1IVoMxc&ab_channel=Ren Thanks to our monthly supporters Benedicte Løksti ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

I know you feel like there is no hope! The feeling is temporary, even if it has been like this for a long time. There are so many examples of people who have lived wonderful lives surviving their own darkness and thoughts or even attempts at suicide.   Your thoughts are fooling you. You are strong, you are loved. You are important and we need you! We need your voice and your experience. We need your help to save the world from learned safe hatred. You will get through this and learn to love yourself.  People can be so clumsy when they talk about suicide. It is not stupid - you are not stupid for having the thoughts. You are definitely not a coward for wanting to quit. Is a normal reaction to inhuman amounts of emotional or physical pain and not yet seing another way out of the living hell you are experiencing. They don't understand. But let's not punish the world for their lack of understanding. Stay. Help people understand how they can be a support for you and others. You are strong - it's not always like t

Appreciate this episode? Buy me a coffee! :) Love this podcast? Tell me (and the world) Join me on Facebook   I struggle guys. And I know you do too. We all do from time to time, and some more than others. And it's ok. Let's work on accepting and forgiving ourselves. Let's build a safe space inside where we can allow ourselves to let go of many of the things that does not serve us. Let's give ourselves som love!  This episode is all about that. I am sharing with you some of my inner landscape, and I am also partly doing a inner child technique that is potentially very emotional and very effective for coming to peace with yourself.  For me - doing a inner child exercise like this, is often emotional, but the peace I feel shortly after is so precious and I can fall a sleep like a baby! #notgoodenough #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #selfcare #selflove #anxiety #love #mentalhealthmatters #depression #motivation #health #wellness #mindfulness #healing #life #loveyourself #therapy #inspiration #happiness

Tell me (and the world)   Join me on Facebook In this episode I have taken my microphones with me in my camper van and parked in a forest on a hill. I have been out and about lately looking for mushrooms and learning about different edible species and here I am, reading to you about one of the mushrooms.  In the beginning of this episode I talk gently with a normal voice and after a while I continue with whispers. After I am all done reading for you I make myself some soup!   You will hear rain and wind sounds in the background and no music this time. Only my voice and the surroundings.

Appreciate this episode? Buy me a coffee! :) Love this podcast? Tell me (and the world) Join me on Facebook Here is the original script for this episode in NORWEGIAN.  Relax with slow Norwegian, August 2022 Tiden flyr. Dagene går. Tenk at det er kommet til sommerens slutt allerede. Nå sitter jeg på mitt gamle kontorrom der hvor jeg bodde før og skriver innholdet til en ny episode. Jeg kan ikke forstå at det nesten har gått en hel måned siden sist.  Forrige gang hadde jeg mikrofone nærmere tastaturet med fokus på lydene derfra. Denne gangen sitter jeg og skriver med mikrofonene veldig nært munnen min. Ikke mer enn 5-10 cm. Jeg er nysgjerrig på hva jeg liker best og hva dere liker best av disse to alternativene. Kanskje kommer det an på dagsformen? Om man vil ha en stemme helt nærmt ørene eller ikke. Jeg lytter til meg selv samtidig mens jeg skriver, og jeg merker at jeg blir litt tungpustet av å snakke så veldig stille. Jeg holder liksom igjen litt på pusten for å ikke blåse for mye luft ut av gangen, for da

Appreciate this episode? Buy me a coffee! :) Love this podcast? Tell me (and the world) Join me on Facebook Here is the original script in NORWEGIAN. The bold words are the ones the trigger words for the end of the episode. Denne episoden er det veronika fra Bergen som har inspirert meg til å lage. Hun tok kontakt med meg for en liten stund siden og skrev at hun hørte på Episode 26 hver kveld for å finne ro og sovne. Jeg ble veldig forbløffet, og rørt av å lese disse ordene og av å utveksle noen meldinger | med henne. Når jeg får tilbakemeldinger som det, tenker jeg det er viktig at jeg prøver å forstå hva det er ved enkelte episoder eller selve podkasten mine faste lyttere liker. Derfor har jeg tatt meg tid i det siste til å høre på min egen podkast, også episode 26, som da var Veronikas favoritt. Når jeg lyttet til episoden selv, så merket jeg først og fremst at jeg hadde glemt om den. Jeg hadde glemt om alt innholdet, men det jeg husker, det er følelsen jeg hadde av å sitte der og skrive på tastaturet mit

Appreciate this episode? Buy me a coffee! :) Love this podcast? Tell me (and the world) Join me on Facebook It has been more than a year since last I published something here, and still I notice the podcast going strong when it comes to listening analytics. I am surprised and proud. Mostly surprised. And it gets me pondering. What if I started to create and publish new content every week?  A week ago I came over something called listen notes and I could read that this podcast is one of the top 2.5% most popular shows out of 2,882,710 podcasts globally with a listen score of 38! So what is that? a Listen Score (LS) is a metric that shows the estimated popularity of a podcast compared to all other rss-based public podcasts in the world on a scale from 0 to 100. The higher, the more popular. It's like Nielsen ratings for podcasts. Nielsen ratings is the national ratings of the popularity of American television shows. The system was developed by A.C. Nielsen in 1950, and by the early 21st century it sampled t

Jensen. Buy the book with the story, and read along with me. I get a small percentage of the amount when you buy the book, and that helps me continue creating great content for you.
