On the 2026 International Women’s Day, this episode of The Jen Jul Podcast, Jen reflects on the women who carried generations quietly, often without recognition.

While much of the world celebrates famous leaders, CEOs, and trailblazers, this episode honors the women whose names rarely appear on stages or in history books. The mothers, grandmothers, aunties, elders, and everyday women who held families, communities, and cultures together behind the scenes.

Jen shares personal reflections from her own life as an Indigenous woman, remembering the women who raised her, the scent of willow roots and fresh-baked bread in her grandmother’s kitchen, and the everyday labor that shaped entire families. This episode also holds space for the women who worked without rest, the healers and knowledge keepers whose wisdom lived in plants and land, the women navigating systems that were never built for them, and the women we have lost too soon, including Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women.

It is a reflection on resilience, sacrifice, and the quiet power women carry across generations. This is for the women who never got a stage, but somehow kept everything else standing. If you are listening today, you are carrying someone’s story. Someone’s sacrifice. Someone’s hope.

So today, take a moment. Think of the woman who shaped your life. Say her name and honor her in a good way.

Happy International Women’s Day.

In this episode of The Jen Jul Podcast, Jen sits down with Lyndsey Jensen for a deeply honest conversation about life as an international woman living in Denmark, the challenges of building a life abroad, and the unexpected paths that shape who we become.

Lyndsey shares her journey from the UK to South Africa and eventually Denmark, reflecting on love, immigration, culture shock, and the reality of starting over in a new country. Together, they talk about the loneliness many internationals face, navigating Danish systems, and the importance of community when you’re far from home.

The conversation also moves into more personal territory as Lyndsey speaks about motherhood, raising a child with disabilities, and the advocacy work she does to bring more awareness and accessibility to families like hers.

Along the way, Jen and Lyndsey reflect on friendship, resilience, spirituality, and the many ways women support one another through life’s hardest seasons.

This is a conversation about courage, community, and the quiet strength it takes to build a life that doesn’t follow a conventional path.

Listen in for a heartfelt discussion about life abroad, motherhood, disability advocacy, and finding connection in unexpected Danish places.

Ever feel like you don't belong, even when you've earned your seat at the table? As an Athabascan woman who led executive organizations and rebuilt her career across three countries, Jen knows what impostor syndrome feels like when you're operating in systems never designed for you.

In this episode, she shares the real story of facing persistent self-doubt as an Indigenous woman in predominantly white spaces, why research shows women of color experience impostor syndrome at dramatically higher rates, and the practical tools I use daily when that voice tries to tell her she doesn't belong.

This is not about fixing yourself. This is about understanding that impostor syndrome is a natural response to structural inequality, not individual inadequacy.
