Bagom 'For altid, forandret'

I "Forever Changed" podcast, Christina Nørby Ibsen talks with prominent guests such as Cecilie Hother, Peter Mygind, Bodil Jørgensen, Jesper Volmer, Søren Gade, Jonathan Richter, Signe Damgaard, and Kathrine Lilleør.

What all the guests have in common is that each one, in their own way, has gone through a significant crisis. Here you can get a behind-the-scenes look at the podcast and read what it is about.

What is the "Forever Changed" podcast about?

'Forever Changed' is about how different people manage/handle crises. How grief, forgiveness, blame, reconciliation are perceived in various ways. The conversations with the nine very different, honest, and brave people are filled with humor and tears, and each person has something in life's drawer that can benefit others.

How has it been to delve into your own crisis?

It has been very hard to delve into my own crisis, and many times I've wanted to turn around and call to say "I don't want to do it after all." Every time I've had a conversation, I've had to look inward, I have had to acknowledge my grief and realized that my journey back would be long and complicated. It has also been enriching and motivating to hear others' stories and see that they have each found their way out of the crisis.

What have you learned from talking to others who have experienced their lives changed?

I've learned a lot, I've learned that I'm not alone and that what I experience as being infinitely difficult to break away from is not unusual. I've become much braver and even though I'm not there yet, I can see a future, this is partly thanks to the people who have generously shared their stories down to the smallest detail with me. I am deeply grateful for that.

What do you hope listeners will get out of listening to your podcast?

I hope my podcast can make some "noise" for those who feel obliged to rush forward. For those who need time to recover from a crisis. We humans tend to want everything to be normal again quickly. We find it hard to deal with grief and talk about it. I hope my podcast can provide others with the courage to dare to articulate what they are going through. Whether it's accidents, divorces, loss, or other life crises. All the people I have spoken with agree on one thing, and that is that they refuse to rush, they have all spent time and effort rebuilding themselves in their own way. It's important to listen to who you are.
