The Swede-ish Podcast

Ever been asked what your views on alcohol around kids? Neither had we... but we're thinking about it now. Has living in Sweden changed your views on drinking alcohol around kids?

This weeks topic of discussion was brought about by a conversation we had with friends at the weekend and it got us thinking… what do we really think about having alcohol around kids and how would you explain it to someone else? Secondly, has living in country with quite conservative views of alcohol around kids changed that?

 

We’d love to know your thoughts… a discussion which is open for further debate!

Former Olympian turned PT, nutritionist and sleep consultant, Courtney Landin, guest stars on this week's podcast!

I LOVE having guests on our podcast! It was so much fun talking to Courtney about her origin stories, her previous life and how that brought her to Sweden. What I really wanted was to get Courtney’s take on how to keep us, the adults, healthy this Winter. Was there any lifestyle changes that we could make immediately to set us on a good path for the rest of winter.

 

Her business, Living Healthy Happy is based around the three pillars of health; excercise, nutrition and sleep. Courtney’s straight forward, no-nonsense approach to a healthy lifestyle will have you reaching for the broccoli steamer before you know it. No fads, no ads, no quick fixes. Just plain old hard work and healthy eating. AND SLEEP!!! We’re all completely sleep deprived according to Courtney and she’s got evidence to back it up.

"The Teletubbies made us do it..." We totally failed at getting this delivered on time. The irony isn't lost on us, talking about VAB, not being under pressure to work and then failing miserably and delivering to you, our en masse employer (think of us as your work experience lad who mixes your post up, free of charge but annoying as hell).

The irony is not lost on me that this is being released late because Stella is sick ?
