The Lazy Women Podcast is BACK with a new series of intimate conversations. In this first chat, Lazy Zsofi, Julie, and Aleli—all emigrants in Paris—share their journey and the struggles of integrating into Parisian society, thoughts on emigration, and plans for the future. They talk about their personal experiences as women in a foreign country and the pains of bureaucracy and share tips on coping, learning a new language, and the importance of community. We hope that you’ll find this episode helpful, comforting, and maybe even uplifting and hopeful, especially if you're going through the same things. We give you a warm, lazy hug and remind you that you're not alone. <3 Don’t hesitate to leave your thoughts on the episode and tag us on socials. We'd love to hear from you!

In the eighth - and last - episode of ‘Making it’ in Western Europe, we come full circle. Mirroring our first conversation in the series, Zsofi and I switch roles to discuss my (at points bumpy) journey from the Czech Republic to Brussels, with stopovers in Norway, Hungary, Italy and partly also the UK. I open up about my background, difficulties with my name, the role that education played in my social mobility, and my never-ending love for dancing. I also speak about my experience of living with an international partner and how Brussels finally allowed me to combine all of my disparate identities and live experiences. There is still a way to go in my journey of belonging but at least for the time being, I feel that I am in the right place :) Would you like to use this final chance to hang out with us and discuss the episode? Then join us for our upcoming 'Making it' Pod Talk! Our Pod Talks are open and intimate community reflections where we share our own experiences, ask questions and collectively reflect on what the themes of identity and belonging actually mean to us.

In this special bonus episode of ‘Making it’ in Western Europe, Zsofi is joined by Fatoumata Ly & Olga Kokshagina, the co-founders of Ninti. Ninti's mission is to break stigma about women's reproductive health and to bring these discussions into the workplace. Originally from Guinea and Russia, Fatoumata and Olga's work is deeply influenced by their migration background and the challenges they had to navigate on the way during their travels around the world. We were truly excited for the chance to talk to Ninti because we believe that their expertise sheds an interesting new light on the topic of migration and the specific challenges that women face during it. We also appreciated their dedication to breaking taboos around women's health and calls for a deeper inclusivity and accessibility of the topic. --- Special thanks to everyone behind the production.

In the seventh episode of ‘Making it’ in Western Europe, Zsofi talks to Basia. Originally from Poland, Basia is a theatre stage designer who studied and worked in the UK and is currently involved in theatre projects all over Europe. They discuss Basia's upbringing in the Polish countryside, her art education, her relocation to the UK and subsequent return to Poland and the different roles that art and theatre play in various countries.

In the sixth episode of ‘Making it’ in Western Europe, Zsofi and I talked to Julie, Lazy Women's new newsletter editor. Originally from Russia, Julie was arrested for her involvement in anti-war demonstrations and - with a short stop in Armenia - ended up in Paris. This was a difficult but powerful conversation about leaving everything behind, beauty standards, new languages, loneliness and the 'need' to fit in, Slavic stereotypes, the importance of having and building communities, and what it feels like to be a Russian woman in Europe right now. Would you like to dive deeper into any of these themes? Then join Julie and Eloïse at our next 'Making it' Pod Talk!

Expert reflection: exile, structural barriers, and possibilities for improvement with Selin Bucak
3/17/2024
In this bonus episode of ‘Making it’ in Western Europe, we are joined by Selin Bucak, a Turkish journalist currently based in Paris whose new book The Last Day Before Exile: Stories of Resistance, Displacement & Finding Home recently came out. Selin reflects on her own migration background and why she decided to write this book in the first place, the special sensitivity needed to discuss such a painful topic, the challenges and structural barriers awaiting refugees upon arrival, growing anti-migration sentiments in Europe and beyond, and what could be done to improve the current situation. This conversation complements our mini series focusing on stories of forced displacement and political refugees and the challenges they have to face during their integration process. --- Special thanks to everyone behind the production.

In the fifth episode of ‘Making it’ in Western Europe, I was talking with Aida. Aida came to Italy as a refugee from Bosnia when she was a child and has since perfectly integrated into the Italian society. Through her research, she is now re-discovering her roots and mother tongue and the inter-related nature of her Yugoslav and Italian identities. This was a really powerful conversation about trauma, human solidarity, and connections through music and I am immensely grateful to Aida for sharing her life story with us. Do you have any questions for Aida or would you like to share your own experience with identity and belonging? Then join our next 'Making it' Pod Talk!
