Weird Darkness is narrated by professional full-time voice actor Darren Marlar. No A.I. voices are ever used in the show.IN THIS EPISODE: It's been said that kids are more open to the supernatural, perhaps because their minds haven't been closed off to the possibilities that ghosts really exist. That makes stories about childhood hauntings even creepier. The real stories I'll be sharing in this episode include ghosts encountered by kids of all ages. The stories might convince you that the nightlight your child insists stay on in the bedroom, needs to stay on for a reason.  (Haunted Children) *** There's something inherently chilling about old orphanages. Maybe it's the fact that scary orphanage stories abound - after all, the buildings are associated with heartbroken and lonely children. And not all of these tales concern the living. Plenty of real life ghost stories feature orphanages filled with restless and vengeful child spirits. (Orphanage Ghosts) *** And what should you do if your child says they see a ghost? Do you tell them there is no such thing? Do you encourage them to believe more fully? What's the right thing to do? A couple of child psychologists have a few ideas on what you can do.

Can motherhood reshape what it means to lead? Join us on a thought-provoking journey with Sinead, the dynamic host of the podcast Stretchmarks. In our lively discussion, Sinead takes us through her remarkable transition from a demanding media career to finding her true calling at Every Mom. Her story is filled with inspiring moments of overcoming industry barriers and creating content that resonates deeply with parents, especially during the pandemic. Discover how she navigated the challenges of balancing professional ambitions with the joys and trials of motherhood.  Our conversation then shifts gears to explore the broader narratives of women's achievements and the societal pressures that often undermine their value. We dive into powerful examples that illustrate how storytelling can ignite change and reclaim the recognition of influential women. Sinead reflects on the erasure of women's contributions from history and discuss the importance of supportive structures in the workplace that honour the transformative journey of motherhood. Through these stories, we aim to inspire a generational shift where women can confidently embrace their strengths and break free from limiting cultural norms.  Lastly, we delve into the evolving dynamics of gender roles in parenting and the workplace. From the increasing involvement of fathers in family responsibilities to the humorous and touching aspects of parenting, our conversation highlights the need for flexibility and support for working parents. We discuss how leadership skills honed through motherhood can translate into professional excellence and the importance of redefining traditional leadership roles to include diverse experiences.

Sarah Boyles is a urogynecologist. She discusses the KevinMD article, "The overlooked impact of childbirth: hidden pelvic floor damage." Our presenting sponsor is Nuance, a Microsoft company.

OCTOBER IS “OVERCOMING THE DARKNESS” MONTH when I dedicate the podcast to raising funds to support organizations who help people struggling with depression, anxiety, and thoughts of suicide or self-harm. Please help with either a small donation or share this link in your social media to encourage others to give, to get more information about the fundraiser and organizations we are helping, or to get the help that they or a loved one need: https://weirddarkness.com/hope.PLEASE SHARE THIS LINK in your social media so others who loves strange and macabre stories can listen too: https://weirddarkness.com/archives/18129IN THIS EPISODE: It's been said that kids are more open to the supernatural, perhaps because their minds haven't been closed off to the possibilities that ghosts really exist. That makes stories about childhood hauntings even creepier. The real stories I'll be sharing in this episode include ghosts encountered by kids of all ages. The stories might convince you that the nightlight your child insists stay on in the bedroom, needs to stay on for a reason. (Haunted Children) *** There's something inherently chilling about old orphanages. Maybe it's the fact that scary orphanage stories abound - after all, the buildings are associated with heartbroken and lonely children. And not all of these tales concern the living. Plenty of real life ghost stories feature orphanages filled with restless and vengeful child spirits. (Orphanage Ghosts) *** And what should you do if your child says they see a ghost? Do you tell them there is no such thing? Do you encourage them to believe more fully? What's the right thing to do? A couple of child psychologists have a few ideas on what you can do.

Dr Dunni discusses the anniversary of her best-selling book, "Every Mom is a Supermom," which focuses on empowering mothers to tap into their superpowers and overcome overwhelm and exhaustion. Sharing personal stories, including a childhood memory of receiving a double promotion and the importance of enjoying the process rather than just focusing on goals. A reminder that faith and belief in oneself are essential for achieving greatness. Listeners are invited to get a copy of the book and connect with Dr. Dunni for additional support on their motherhood journey. KEY TAKEAWAYS Motherhood is a journey that requires self-discovery and embracing one's superpowers. It is important to focus on the positive aspects of life and appreciate the achievements and milestones along the way. Rejecting the opinions and criticisms of others is essential for personal growth and self-acceptance. Faith and belief in oneself are crucial for achieving goals and overcoming challenges. Recognising and addressing personal limitations or "kryptonites" is necessary for personal development and success. BEST MOMENTS"The expectations and pressure on mothers is immense. Society has made that so.""We forget to enjoy the process… We go about our things. We forget what we have achieved and what we have done to get there.""You are the author of your life. You can write the story, edit it, erase it, create it into a movie, direct it, and act in it.""Rejecting their opinion of you is the best gift you can give yourself.""Believe in yourself, your abilities, and God. The moment your belief starts to dwindle, you cannot inspire faith in others."

One decision can change your life entirely. Melissa shares an anecdote from her book, Fertile Imagination, about her mom's one turning point decision moment back in the 60s. Melissa leads a 10-minute meditation to help you build a greater awareness of your body sensations. Melissa talks about the decision to raise bilingual third generation Latinos. Excerpt from Melissa's book: Fertile Imagination: A Guide for Every Mom's Superpower for Creating Maximum Impact - https://www.melissallarena.com/waitlist/ The wrong script for you can hold you back. My Puerto Rican grandmother, who finished school after the third grade, got impatient with my mom back in the '60s. One of three girls, my mom attended a community college to earn her associate's degree. No other daughter went that far. My grandmother once told my mom, that's enough school! She saw school as a waste of time for a girl. Decades later, my mom enrolled in college because she really wanted to earn a bachelor's. The problem was that my mom was working full-time, I was born, and she had to complete all of her domestic duties for my father. No adjustments would be made to her script because my mom was carrying a full load of classes. My mom's anxiety levels, due to her duties of being the primary caregiver as a wife and mom on top of her studies, led her to quit. Imagine if my mom, before she met my dad or had me, could have called BS on her own mother? Lashing out at your mom in a Puerto Rican household in my mom's experience could result in a black eye so bottling up disappointments was often a better option. The baby step to changing a script that doesn't feel true to you is in asking yourself the question: Is that behavior or expectation right for ME? Melissa's story about raising bilingual third generation Latinos: For me, I was told by my mom that my kids should be spoken to in Spanish. So that is one generation of moms telling me another generation of moms. Meanwhile, my grandmother would only talk to me in Spanish. Let's be clear. She understood every single word in English. And I knew that she could understand what I was saying, but it was like she'd be unresponsive if I opened my mouth and said anything in English. So this idea that you have to know Spanish was ingrained in me and frankly it's been a struggle. And it's this decision that I have had to really think to myself, okay, like, am I doing this for myself or am I doing this for my mom or am I doing this for my grandmother, right? These decisions are the ones that can change the trajectory of my kids' lives.  My advise is to check-in that its a fight for going into because YOU would want the outcome. Check-in as I mention in my book that it's not just a "mom script" that's been handled down to you. Or a glass-cultural ceiling you were meant to shatter? *Update: the 21-day challenge will now be the 5-day challenge to ensure you complete the experience along with your school-age child. Get on the list while it's free: https://www.melissallarena.com/fertileideas The meditation: Close your eyes and take a deep breath in through your nose. As you exhale, let go of any tension you're holding in your body. Now, bring your awareness to your feet. Notice the sensations you feel in your feet. Are they warm or cold? Do they feel heavy or light? Slowly bring your awareness up your legs, to your knees, your thighs, your hips. Notice the sensations you feel in these areas. Continue to bring your awareness up your body, to your torso, your chest, your shoulders, your neck, and your head. Notice the sensations you feel in these areas. Now, bring your awareness to your breath. Notice the rise and fall of your chest as you breathe in and out. Continue to breathe deeply and slowly, paying attention to the sensations in your body and your breath. When you're ready, open your eyes and bring your awareness back to the room. Takeaway: The decisions you make can have a big impact on your life. It's important to be aware of your body sensations and what they're telling you. You can use meditation to build a greater awareness of your body sensations. Raising bilingual children is a decision that should be made for the right reasons.

Why are parents so tired all the time? Perhaps it's the whole not sleeping thing. But a recent study on maternal exhaustion found that perfectionism is also a huge factor. In other words, we run ourselves ragged making things nice for our loved ones, and then are too exhausted to enjoy those things ourselves.  In this episode, we talk about how our exhaustion affects our parenting, how the pandemic has made it all even harder, and what we're trying in order to get just a little more rest.  Here are links to some of the writing on the topic that we discuss in this episode:  Dr. Sarah Hubert et al: Parental Burnout: When Exhausted Mothers Open Up Gabriela Garcia for The Every Mom: 5 Ways To Fight Mom Fatigue @kids.eat.in.color on Instagram Special thanks to our sponsors: Stellar Eats creates healthy treats with delicious flavor and perfect texture using 8 (or fewer) real food ingredients because we want you to enjoy your favorite foods and feel amazing.

We are all theologians. We may not be formally educated experts, but we all have beliefs about who God is and how and why he interacts with us (or doesn't). All of our assumptions, presuppositions, opinions, and ideas make up our theology. The question is, where are we getting our information? What do we base our theology on?  My guest this week is Phylicia Masonheimer, founder of Every Woman a Theologian, and her goal is “to teach [women] how to discern truth, know what (and Who) [they] believe, and live [their] faith boldly in a post-Christian world.” Her day to day work is creating resources for women to learn to study the bible and navigate doctrine because a firm theological foundation matters for us personally and individually as well as for our other relationships be it our spouses, kids, friends, neighbors. That foundation will underpin the comfort we bring to a hurting friend, the discipline we use with our children, and how we treat our spouse.  Connect with Phylicia Masonheimer: Website:  https://phyliciamasonheimer.com  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/phyliciadelta  Instagram:  @phyliciamasonheimer   @everywomanatheologian   Podcast: The Verity Podcast  Links Mentioned:    The Ology: Ancient Truths, Ever New by Marty Machowski Mary Flo Ridley & Megan Michelson Birds & Bees Related Episodes: Become What You Behold :: Ruth Chou Simons [Ep 255]  Let's Talk About Sex :: Mary Flo Ridley and Megan Michelson [Ep 328] Consistency in Bible Study :: Katie Orr [Ep 352] Giving Kids a Firm Foundation :: Troy Simons [Ep 278] Featured Sponsors:  Find links to this week's sponsors and unique promo codes at dontmomalone.com/sponsors.
