The Everyday Global Citizen Podcast

What do children actually learn when they hear a joke, a comment - or silence - about people who are different?

In this episode of The Everyday Global Citizen Podcast, I explore how parents and the adults around children shape attitudes toward others, often in subtle, everyday moments. From micro-reactions and passing comments to what is left unsaid, we look at how children learn not just what to think about others, but how to think.

A reflective and practical episode on replacing judgment with curiosity, and raising children who can meet difference with openness, awareness, and respect.

What does it actually mean to raise a child between cultures and why does it matter for all families?

What happens when your child points out difference in public - and you don’t know how to respond?

In the episode, I also share five simple tips for supporting children’s identity development in a more conscious and everyday way.

In this episode of The Everyday Global Citizen Podcast, I explore belonging and identity through my lived experience of growing up cross-cultural in Norway. What does it mean to feel at home in a place — and what happens when that belonging is subtly questioned? I then connect identity and belonging to global citizenship — not as an abstract ideal, but as a practice of widening the circle of who counts as “us.”

If you’ve ever reflected on where you belong, how your identity has evolved, or what it means to live as a global citizen, this episode is for you.

If you are cross-cultural yourself and navigating multiple cultural worlds, I’ve created a free PDF guide with my five best tips to help you bridge your different cultural identities into a more integrated sense of self. 👉🏽[Click here to get the guide]

What does global citizenship look like when it’s not loud, performative, or abstract — but lived quietly, in everyday life?

In this opening episode of a new ten-part master series, I reflect on what happens when global events interrupt the ordinary and begin to feel personal. Drawing on lived experience, professional practice, and a guided reflection, this episode explores global citizenship not as an identity, but as an ongoing practice of attention, care, and responsibility.

This is an invitation to slow down, stay with discomfort, and reflect on where — and how — we are being asked to care, even when it isn’t easy.

In this final episode of the year, I explore what it truly means to be a global citizen — and why it has nothing to do with titles, activism, or having the “right” words. Global citizenship is built through everyday choices: challenging stereotypes, showing up for others and raising compassionate children. This reflective episode invites you to pause, look back on your year, and reconnect with the values that shape our shared humanity. A warm and grounding way to end the year — and to step into the next one with intention.
