The Mother Of It All

Pandemic Parents, 5 Years Later: The mom who had just moved to Norway


Listen Later

“I truly believe in the power of policy, and I have been like radicalized by that, since becoming a mom and living here.”

Sarah chats with Ariana, a mom in Norway, about how it felt to be a fresh ex-pat when the world shut down. They discuss the overlap and many differences between parenting in the U.S. and Norway during covid, the impact that financial support makes, and how hard it can be to navigate new places at a time when people are holing up.

* Ariana wrote more about her pandemic experience on her Substack: What the pandemic taught me about parenting (and life) in Norway

* Our pandemic parenting survey (you can still take it if you want to)

* The first episode of our pandemic parenting survey
