The Ikea Episodes

Joie de vivre

Hello from the other side… 👀 The Ikea Girls are back!!! ✨  Get your ears and your mind ready for our first episode of 2026: an episode full of motivation, inspiration, and… joie de vivre!  For our long-awaited return, we had the pleasure of welcoming our friend Claire for an enthusiastic conversation about her life journey and how she followed her dreams as a one-of-a-kind Zumba instructor, social media advisor, and food lover.  As always, expect wisdom, lots of laughs, and a generous dose of messy realness 🛋️  Welcome back to The Ikea Episodes!

Lost in translation

A new episode, a new IKEA-date 🛋️✨ And guess what... this time, we are not alone!!! Please join us into welcoming Micaela, our very first guest on The Ikea Episodes! Micaela is a dear friend of ours and it was such an honour to have her inaugurate this new chapter of the podcast. We sat down to talk about languages, accents and life as a polyglot. We hope that this episode will speak to all expats & other language-nerds 🫶 As usual, let us know what you think and share your bilingual stories on Instagram @theikeaepisodes or via email at theikeaepisodes@gmail.com. With love The Ikea Girls

The good girl and the bad b*tch

Oh, how we've MISSED our Ikea family!  Season 2 is finally here and we hope you are ready for it 😍 Tune in for an upgraded version of your beloved Ikea Episodes: new logo, new jingle, new segment... and many more surprises to come! This month, as we meet around a smoothie (homemade, not from IKEA!), we are finally showing you our true faces. One's a good girl: sweet, well-behaved and a slight people pleaser. The other's a bad b*tch: rebellious, unapologetic and a tad too stubborn. Who's who? We'll let you decide! In the first episode of this new season, we are also launching the Ikea Girls' French class, where your professeures Djamila and Sarah will be teaching you their go-to words to add some frenchiness in your life. As always, thank you so much for listening and please join us on the socials @theikeaepisodes to share your good girl stories... or your bad b*tch moves! With love The Ikea Girls

At the end of the day

✨ Episode 10 is HERE! ✨  And it’s not just any episode… it’s the grand finale of Season One!  For our big 10th, we went on a journey to where it all began — the first ever IKEA, the IKEA Museum, and spent the night at the only IKEA Hotel. 🛏️ Yes, it was iconic. Yes, we cried. Yes, we recorded in bed!  We’re wrapping up this chapter with full hearts and hilarious memories. Thank you for riding with us through 10 episodes of chaos, meatballs, and friendship. We’re taking a little break to recharge and dream up even more magic…  SEASON TWO drops in June! So stay subscribed, just rest up... and get ready — we’re only getting started!  With love The Ikea Girls

Favourite places

Welcome back to The Ikea Episodes!  For episode 9, one of our dear listeners asked us: "What is your favourite place?". Simple question, you might say... But don't get fooled: the Ikea girls had a lot more to talk about than the IKEA cafeteria! So tune in for this month's in-depth conversation, where we take you on a mental journey around the places that shaped us and where we find shelter in this crazy world. As usual, let's meet on our socials to continue the conversation: where do YOU feel most at peace? We want to hear it all! And don't forget to suggest next month's topic at theikeaepisodes@gmail.com so you can be featured in our future episodes!  With love The Ikea Girls
