February 06, 2024 23 | You fell in love and they want you to move to Denmark in 90 days
Life as a “trailing spouse” is mostly incredible, and looks like it from the outside. Still, it’s full of challenges, emotional ups and downs, and can put a strain on relationships and families. Derek and Annie have been through it, and open up about their life after moving to Denmark for their partners.

This episode will help you understand the challenges that you face if you move abroad for someone else, with tips and advice on getting through them. Derek and Annie discuss their personal experiences and how they dealt with these adjustments.

Any foreigner living in Denmark goes through culture shocks and changes - but they pile up a little higher, faster, and harder for trailing partners. Hear more about the trailing spouse journey, how to navigate it, and follow us on social media for more insights.

December 12, 2023 17 | Diane in Denmark - part 1
This week Derek is joined one on one with Diane in Denmark, the incredible life coach from Scotland who now calls Denmark home. Diane explains the habit of winterbathing to a hypothetical American listener and then explains her hot and cold thoughts on various seasonal activities and trends associated with Christmas and New Years from ugly sweaters to dry January. You’ll hear Diane’s story of moving to Denmark for love over 20 years ago and raising a family in a new country and culture.

We focus on Diane’s lessons from life coaching and how the country of Denmark and Danish culture has influenced her practice. From minimalism to self-care, Danish culture is infused in the work that Diane does as a life coach. We look at the importance of routines, especially for those in their early days of moving to a new country, especially those taking up a new life in Denmark. Diane even gives Derek (and Mike) some sound advice on how to build routines, set up time management methods, and declutter in 2024.

November 28, 2023 15 | Jeff Bond - part 1
This week actor and comedian, Jeff Bond, joins Mike and Derek in the studio. He shares the story of how his life in Denmark came to be from a part in the Crazy Christmas Cabaret, one of the most successful theater productions in Europe with an annual home at Glassalen in Tivoli Gardens.

Jeff, Derek, and Mike share their most annoying jobs during the holiday season and all of the things they love and despise about Christmas. Jeff shares his experiences working as an actor and comedian in Denmark versus the UK. He explains the lessons he learned while working with a British acting company and performing in the Danish theater scene to a mostly Danish audience - lessons that have helped him rotate between performing Shakespeare and stand up comedy in Denmark.

It would have been a crime to have Jeff in the studio and not ask him to display his acting talents - which he did by performing a dramatic monologue to one of the most iconic Christmas movie scenes.

November 21, 2023 14 | Annie Samples - part 2
Annie Samples aka Annie in Eventyrland is back at the table with Derek and Mike to talk more about being a mom in Denmark compared to the United States. Specifically, Annie tells us about her experiences with pregnancy and childbirth in both Denmark and America. Along the way you can share some laughs about 90s American television shows and how their titles were translated into Danish.

Annie gets personal about the journey to having her daughter in Denmark, and the support that she received in the process. There were a lot of decisions along the way that were different than in America. You’ll hear what services she was hesitant to take advantage of, and the outcomes they ultimately held for her and her family. Annie also put Derek and Mike on the spot regarding whether they’ll be getting kids of their own anytime soon and it seems like she’ll be meeting them at the playground in the future.
