Between Worlds: An Indigenous Perspective on Living in Alaska, Greenland, and Denmark in 2025

“The world feels louder than ever—politically, socially, and environmentally. But for Indigenous people, these struggles aren’t new. We’ve always lived in the aftermath of collapses that were never ours to begin with.”

In this episode, I share my journey across three lands—Alaska, Greenland, and Denmark—through the lens of identity, colonization, and resistance.

I discuss:

🔹 The urgency of now: Political polarization, the silencing of voices, and the rising power of oligarchies

🔹 Greenland’s fight for independence: How history is being rewritten in real-time and why it matters

🔹 Denmark’s colonial legacy: A country that prides itself on progress while erasing its past

🔹 Living as an Indigenous woman in the Arctic North and beyond.

This is Jen Jul's perspective on what it means to exist between worlds.

Listen now and share this episode with those who need to hear it.

Let’s reclaim our narratives, challenge the myths, and build a future that isn’t written for us—but by us.

Living in Denmark – Navigating the Lessons, Challenges, and Adaptation of this Danish Life

In the first episode of The Jen Jul Podcast, I’m unpacking what it’s like to trade an Alaskan life for Denmark’s endless gray skies and concrete jungles. Spoiler: It’s not all hygge and candles, but it’s definitely been a journey worth sharing.

I dive into the cultural quirks, the awkward (yet hilarious) missteps, and what it’s like raising a “Danglish” family while trying to find my footing in a land that loves its rules—and lakarids (yeah its a thing). From the stark differences in daily life to those unexpected “aha” moments, I’m sharing my wins, fails, and everything in between.

Why Listen?

• Gain a behind-the-scenes look at expat life—minus the sugar coating.
• Learn why cultural adaptation is as messy as it is rewarding.
• Laugh (and maybe cringe) at my attempts to balance Danish norms with Alaskan practicality.
• Take away some wit and wisdom about embracing the chaos of change.

This Danish life isn’t perfect, but it’s perfectly interesting. So grab your coffee, and join me for a real (candid) look at navigating life abroad. 🤙🏽
