🔥 Hot take (Sweden 🇸🇪 edition):

If you’re trying to be on every platform, you’re not doing “marketing”.
You’re doing digital cardio.

And in a country where everything has a system,
from BankID to the laundry schedule,
your social media shouldn’t be chaos.

So this Saturday at 11:00 AM Stockholm time, I’m hosting a live webinar:
Stop posting everywhere: A strategic Social Media plan for business owners in Sweden

We’ll cover:
✅ What platform actually fits your business model (and your sanity)
✅ How different industries should choose differently
✅ How to match content to goals: visibility, authority, sales
✅ And what to stop doing immediately (because “just post more” is not a plan)

Want to attend? 💬Comment JOIN and I’ll DM you the details👇

😳 The fastest way to feel like a public menace in Sweden?

Breaking the invisible “personal bubble” rule in a queue.

Because here, standing in line is basically a silent social contract:
✅ You keep a respectful gap.
✅ You face forward.
✅ You pretend you’re alone, together.

Move 10 cm too close and suddenly you can feel the vibes shift.
No one will say anything but the person in front of you will do that tiny Swedish shuffle forward like:
“Okay. We’re not doing this.” 😆

🗓️ Last Saturday of February in Sweden: culture, chaos, and a CO2 refill.

Highlights only:

🥞 Pancakes at my mom’s place (yes, I’m an adult, yes, this is still my best system)
🫧 CO2 swap for the soda machine, because sparkling water is life
🎸 Tomas “just looked around” at a loppis and adopted a 100 kr guitar
🎨 Actual art moment: Yusuke Nagano’s watercolor and sculpture exhibition, plus postcards we’ll “definitely frame”
🐊 We stood there listening to a crocodile performing music 😆
💡 Grand finale: oven lightbulb pickup at Elgiganten

That’s the vibe. That’s the country.

👇 What’s your most random errand that turned into a whole adventure lately?

🚨 Veterinary care prices in Sweden might finally get clearer.

Sweden’s Competition Authority says pricing info for animal clinics is often “very poor”, especially when your pet is sick or injured.

And that’s the worst moment to be forced into guessing. 😬🐾

So what do they want to change?

✅ National treatment recommendations (starting with common issues for dogs and cats)
✅ Clinics publishing prices for specific procedures on their websites
✅ Clearer pricing also shown at the clinic or animal hospital, not just online

The goal: pet owners should be able to compare options and understand costs before making a decision.

Would this help you, or do you think vet prices will stay confusing anyway?

😅 You tell people “we’re basically married” because you’ve lived together for years…
…and Sweden goes: “Nope.” 🇸🇪

In Swedish law, sambo and married are two different worlds.
Not for your money, your home, inheritance. And yes, even some family rules work differently.

This carousel covers 5 key differences that many immigrants only learn when life gets messy: a breakup, a mortgage situation, or someone suddenly passing away.

The one that hits hardest for most people: as a sambo, you don’t automatically inherit anything. Without a will (testamente), the money and the home can go straight to children or other relatives.

👇 What was your biggest “wait… WHAT?!” moment from this carousel? Tell me in one sentence.

Want the full blog post with examples + practical steps (including when a samboavtal actually makes sense)?

💰 Sweden’s Fiscal Policy Council issued its toughest criticism yet of the government’s economic policy

They warn that borrowing for defense while cutting taxes could increase deficits and push costs onto future generations.

The government says Sweden can afford it.
The opposition says it’s risky and short-sighted.

📊 In the 2026 budget:
✅ Income tax cuts cost 21 billion SEK per year
✅ Halved food VAT will cost another 21 billion SEK
✅ Lower employer fees for young people cost 6 billion SEK

Is this smart strategy or dangerous timing?

🇸🇪🎙️ It’s happening: my podcast is officially live 🤩

LikeSweden: Beyond the Postcard

This first episode is about the proposed changes to Swedish citizenship rules, what they could mean in real life for different groups of people, and where I personally stand on it.

It is a proper breakdown, with context, examples, and the uncomfortable parts people keep skipping (or, just don’t think about them).

Want the link? Comment PASSPORT and I’ll DM it to you 👇
…or find it on Spotify (other apps soon!)

And tell me: should citizenship rules be stricter, or just… smarter?
