This time we are trying something new and taking you on a little adventure with us.<br /><br />Follow us on our journey to Ikea, live from the metro and then walking our way to the most Swedish place in Copenhagen, where we are meeting for our usual coffee and chat. This month, we are discussing another challenge we all face in our almost daily life: le regard des autres (pardon our French, it means the gaze of others).<br /><br />We hope that you will enjoy listening to this special "audioblog" format as much as we had fun recording it! We are so excited to hear your stories of stepping out of your comfort zone and owning your cringe: send them over at @theikeaepisodes on Instagram and Facebook or via email at theikeaepisodes@gmail.com.<br /><br />Let us know if you would like to hear more of these light-hearted, spontaneous and slightly chaotic episodes or what topic you would like us to discuss next, and don't forget to tune in every first Sunday of the month for more stories!<br /><br />S &amp; D]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>1645</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>adulthood,conversation,entrepreneurlife,femalepodcasters,firstsundayofthemonth,friends,friendship,inspiration,inspirationalquotes,lifelessons,linkinbio,liveandenjoymovement,mondaymotivation,newpodcastalert,podcast,podcastcommunity,podcastersofinstagram,relationship,storytime,theikeaepisodes</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>true</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/afa2eafda0d2837b4025fac7ed74dd3d.jpg"/><itunes:season>1</itunes:season><itunes:episode>5</itunes:episode><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Friends... forever?</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/friends-forever--62231736</link><description><![CDATA[Hello and welcome back to The Ikea Episodes! <br /><br />We are Djamila and Sarah (also known as the Ikea Girls!) and we are back this month for another cozy chat in Ikea Copenhagen, where we share anecdotes and life lessons between two laughs. <br /><br />This month's talk is about friendship... as adults.

In episode 3, we ask ourselves “what to do when life gives you lemons”? We talk about dark times and finding your strength to survive them. Drowning in a pool of lemons?
