Welcome to Season 4 Episode 5Today I speak with Dr Robyn Thompson, Founder of The Thompson Method for Breastfeeding.Robyn's offerings to breastfeeding women is based on over 45 years experience as a midwife and her PhD research which explored why so many women are discharged from hospital with breastfeeding complications.The fact is that even though 92% of women want to breastfeed and initiate feeding after birth, 80% will give formula in week one and only 14% are still exclusively breastfeeding at 6 months.And the number one reason why mums say they discontinue feeding is PAIN.If you feel like you have failed or struggled with breastfeeding, know that you are not alone.Robyn and I both agree that respectful and individualised care is key to success as well as early education and preparation. This is why at She Births we focus on the first 3 Golden Hours and core principles to help you have a longer breastfeeding experience.The Thompson Method challenges our commonly accepted cultural approaches which are often forceful and rushed inside our hospital systems.In this episode we chat about:Importance of personalised 1 on 1 expert supportThe one thing you must never allow others to do with your babyThe importance of HOW we hold our babies, especially their little headsThe numerous ways systems fail families with feeding and birth and what you can do to avoid themEpisode Resources:Make sure you visit our friends at The Thompson Method www.thethompsonmethod.comOur friends at The Thompson Method have also been incredibly generous and provided a 40% discount off their program to all our listeners so you can feel prepared and empowered for breastfeeding.

Piercing is the story of man named Reed (played by Christopher Abbott) who is encouraged by his newborn baby to drug, kill, and dismember a prostitute in a hotel room. Murder isn’t as easy as it sounds, and after a Sitcom-esque introduction of Jackie the prostitute (played by Mia Wasikowska), his plans are inadvertently foiled. What follows is a weird sitcom trope of “will they, won’t they”, only referring to murder and not fucking. 0:35 - Intro7:00 - Trailer9:14 - Synopsis/Review10:41 - Score12:43 - Spoilers/Discussion40:43 - Final Recommendations43:57 - State of the Podcast Address1:14:52 - Horror Movie News1:20:03 - Special Thanks and Outro Piercing is a stylistic short film plot that was convincingly stretched to a feature length film. The director Nicolas Pesce borrows skillfully from many of my favorite directors. There is a bit of Tarantino, some Wes Anderson, and a healthy dose of David Lynch are included throughout. There aren’t many scares, but lots of tension and surprising moments. The performances of both lead actors were captivating to watch and provided foundation for the unhinged plot. https://youtu.be/7pj5u4r_eSE The plot of Reed trying to kill a hooker only really serves as a framework to explore a murky dreamscape of Reed’s psyche and the mysterious intentions of Jackie. If you want a movie with a beginning, middle, and an end, you might have to settle for 2 out of 3. However, I can definitely say that Piercing was an enjoyable movie, and I can definitely recommend seeing it if you like art-house horror. Want To Watch It Now?Click the button below to watch it on AmazonPiercing Score for Piercing 7/10 Piercing balances psychological horror and dark comedy adeptly while maintaining a fresh yet familiar style. Piercing Movie Spoilers Stylistically, this film reminded me of several other directors' work: Quentin Tarantino - The 70's cool, yet time period ambiguous settingWes Anderson - The use of miniatures and the matter-of-fact absurd comedyDavid Lynch - The surrealistic drug trips and dream logicPaul Thomas Anderson - Specifically Punch Drunk Love with the slightly twisted yet still somehow wholesome interaction between the leads. Reed is an unreliable narrator and several times throughout the film, he is encouraged to go through with killing a prostitute. Those encouraging him in order are: His newborn babyThe hotel clerkHis wife It is obvious that something is not right with Reed, and that he is at the very least a paranoid schizophrenic, and could also just as likely be dreaming. Check Out Our Review of Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension! https://www.horrormovietalk.com/2018/12/24/ghost-dimension-review/ Dream logic abounds with strange actions and conversational non-sequiturs. Towards the end of the film when Reed is tying up Jackie, he does so in a impotent and lazy wrap of the rope only around her wrists. Piercing starts out with small doses of hallucinations and slowly descends to full a full on bad trip with a little girl stabbing bunny. It's a wild ride, but enjoyable if you like stylistic psychological horror. Final Recommendations This is a great movie for people that like foreign films but don’t want to read subtitles. That sounds sarcastic, but if you watch it (which I suggest you do) it will make sense. Check Out Our Guest Spot on We Shouldn't Be Here! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exvW7TbHEF8
