Marjolijn de Jager on Finding Our Voices Today Podcast
Marjolijn recently made her podcast debut alongside her daughter, Claudia Connor, in a deeply personal conversation on Finding Our Voices Today, hosted by Lisa Sandstrom.
Over the course of nearly an hour, mother and daughter reflect on a life shaped by extraordinary circumstances: growing up in Japanese POW camps in Indonesia, moving through four countries before the age of nine, arriving in the United States as a Fulbright Scholar, and eventually building a family rooted in both European heritage and American experience. It’s a conversation about culture, language, resilience, and what it truly means to find home.
Claudia, joining her mother for her second appearance on the podcast, brings a daughter’s perspective to stories she has lived alongside. Together they trace how an upbringing that crossed continents and cultures shaped not just Marjolijn’s remarkable life, but Claudia’s own values and worldview as well.
The episode is warm, unhurried, and quietly moving. Lisa Sandstrom draws out a conversation that feels less like an interview and more like an invitation into a private family memory. One of her audio editors, working on the episode in post-production, described being deeply moved by what he heard.
The episode is available now on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
