Podcasts about Jolanda

„Každý měl možnost se vyjádřit k tomu, co by v obraze o Děčíně nemělo chybět,“ přibližuje jeden z autorů.

In deze Brabantse Potcast praten Jolanda en Anja met Nik van Hoogstraten, de oprichter van de Stichting Raket. Op 2-jarge leeftijd kreeg Nik hersenschade door een hersenvliesontsteking, wat weer leidde tot niet-aangeboren hersenletsel. Heel zijn leven hoorde Nik vaak van anderen wat hij niet kon/kan. Maar in deze Potcast spreken we over wat hij bereikt heeft; dus praten we over zijn MOGELIJKHEDEN. Bij zijn Stichting Raket krijgt een ieder een stem en bouwt hij aan een inclusieve samenleving. Vanaf 7 oktober is een boek verschenen met zijn levensverhaal getiteld 'IK BEN GEEN LABEL'. Daarin vertelt hij oa over zijn coming out als homo, zijn levenspad en over zijn strijd om zichzelf te mogen zijn. Luisteren jullie mee naar zijn levensverhaal én huur hem ook zeker in als begenadigd spreker!

Ons leven is een rollercoaster. Met hoge pieken en soms diepe dalen. We ontkomen er niet aan. Juist op de momenten dat het goed met ons gaat, moeten we ons voorbereiden op mindere momenten.  Digital Nomad en coach Jolanda Stok leeft samen met haar man in een camperbus en reist de wereld over. Ze vertelt hoe het overlijden van haar broertje haar leven totaal op z'n kop zette. Vanuit daar ontstond haar missie. Ontdek welke tools jij kunt inzetten, zodat je nog beter om kunt gaan met tegenslagen (groot of klein). Een gesprek over paarden op marktplaats, wc's legen en noodpakketten.  In de Life Rules podcast zoekt Joram Kaat samen met twintigers Marlies Haitsma en Lara Hop naar een leven met Jezus.

In deze Brabantse Potcast praten Anja en Jolanda met Willemien. Zij stond afgelopen Coming Outday in de Libelle om te praten over haar 3 queer kinderen. Vol warmte en liefde vertelt zij over haar drie kinderen die uit de kast kwamen. Zij heeft vier kinderen waarvan twee transgender en één non-binair. Ze vertelt over de zoektocht van haar gezin én vertelt over de familieband die oer-en oer sterk is. De Brabantse Potten bespreken met haar verhaal een sterk staaltje moederschap en hopen dat je mee wil luisteren naar dit uiterst bijzondere verhaal met ons?

Nick and John have posted eight Hallmarked Man conversations since its publication last month and, as interesting as their back-and-forth talks have been, South Wales to American Fly Over Country, Lake to Shed, much of the best theorizing and interpreting of Strike 8 has been happening in the comment threads beneath those posts and in email messaging with John. Determined that these insights wouldn't be lost or invisible to Serious Strikers, they chose ten of the most challenging for a fun introduction to the fandom conversations readers not privy to the backchannel moderators network or who neglect the comment threads are missing.In addition, Nick shares the credible speculation that Rowling's weeklong absence from tweeting has been because she is on her Samsara yacht in the South Pacific, circling Bora Bora, believe it or don't. John quizzes Nick, too, about the election in South Wales, Caerphilly to be exact, and the reason the results in that dependably Labour area have the UK buzzing (and why Strike readers might expect the populist party victories will color Strikes 9 and 10).A quick ‘table of contents' for their hasty review, then, followed by links and transcripts! Enjoy — and, yes, have at in the comment threads, please, the locus of Strike fandom conversations.* Ed Shardlow: Gorilla Ryan* Vicky: Boxes and Plush Toys* Sandra Hope: Traditional Symbolism* Justin Clavet: Only Fans Gaffe (Ed Shardlow -- ‘Not Proven' error)* Bora Bora* Justin Clavet: On Manhood* Ed Shardlow: Ickabog Parallel Book Theory* Sandra Hope: Hallmarked Man as Rowling's ‘Greatest Hits' allusion collection* LC - Dorothy Sayers* Kathleen O'Connor -- Alternative Incest* Caerphilly elections -- UK meaning* Ring Composition ProjectPromised Links and Transcripts:* Ed Shardlow's ‘Gorilla Ryan' TheoryThe Ryan the Gorilla theory came to me at the point in the book where Robin has an epiphany following an impulse to look up the meaning of a name. I think this was the Jolanda-Violet realisation, but I thought she'd suddenly realised the full extent of Ryan's dark side, with the significance being the previously noted meaning of his name “Sea King” suggesting a connection between him and Wade King.That theory seemed very flimsy at first, but on further examination it might have some mileage. There are some notable differences between the attack in the Land Rover and the previous ones. Although we imagine the attacker wearing a gorilla mask, there's no mention of it, and in fact it says she can see his face. Also the Land Rover attacker makes no demands that she, “Stop” or, “Leave it”. She hits Wade with the pepper spray, which of course, would be difficult for Ryan to cover up, but she didn't inflict any such injuries on the gorilla attacker. Wade clearly intends to hurt her, whereas the other attacks had no physical violence and look very much like they were just intended to scare her.1) It's hinted that Branfoot knows about Robin's rape, and she says it's on the internet, but we never get any indication that King or Griffiths know about it. Strike and Robin never consider that the attacker might be someone who knows about it because they're close to Robin. That seems like an oversight.2) The gorilla attacker never refers to a specific case. Murphy may be scaring her into quitting the job and getting away from Strike, whereas a suspect would want her to stop investigating their specific case.3) The police don't take the rubber gorilla and dagger for DNA testing. That's pretty strange, unless there's someone on the inside blocking the investigation.There's a bit of an issue with the guy in the green jacket, who presumably Robin can see isn't Ryan when he's on the industrial estate and outside her flat. Presumably that was Wade.So, there would need to be some explanation for how or why Murphy is wearing the same jacket when he accosts her with the ceremonial dagger. But that's not insurmountable.Murphy would have been very surprised to encounter Matthew (sic, he means ‘Martin' -ed.), who he knows from Masham, outside Robin's flat. The narrative very much prompts us to think there's something going on with Murphy, but then we put this down to his work issues and associated relapse, but perhaps that blinds us (and Robin) to another possibility. And if it is the case, then Strike hasn't just let Robin go to dinner with his romantic rival, but she's heading into mortal danger. Were his instincts subconsciously alerting him to the threat? Did he leave it too late to shout, “Brake!” again?Nicola Reed's Objection to ‘Gorilla Ryan' (Sandy Hope, too)Kathleen O'Connor's Cogent Counterpoint to John's Incredulity about No One Noticing How Short Faux-Wright was in the Ramsay Silver footageVicky on the Interpretation of Robin's “Stuffed Toy” DreamBrenna Hill asks ‘Why is the New Ellacott Puppy Named Betty?'Sandra Hope Jumpstarts Conversation about Traditional Symbolism in Hallmarked Man* Masonic Orb Pendant for sale on Etsy ($795)* Jacob's Ladder Mosaic in Masonic Hall, London (Alamy)* The Bohun Swan (‘Chained Swan') (Wikipedia)Justin Clavet: The ‘Only Fans' Gaffe· I commented on the Hogwarts Professor gaffes pillar [Placeholder, ed.] post about the OnlyFans error - that the OnlyFans website was launched in November 2016, but in the book, the murdered Sofia is said to be a prolific OnlyFans poster before her disappearance in June of that same year. The OnlyFans account is only a small point in this large plot, but one that is repeatedly referred to, and Sofia's OnlyFans account is what ultimately brought her to the attention of her killer. For such a meticulous plotter and, as John would say, “OCD” author as Rowling is, does this real-world chronological impossibility give you pause? What other big historical error like this can be found in her books?· Did you notice that the interview with the pornstar occurs in chapter 69? I think Rowling was having a bit of (structural) fun and winking at the observant reader with that one.* Justin Clavet's 3 September ‘Gaffes' posting about ‘Only Fans'The reference to OnlyFans in chapter 33 (p. 269) felt anachronistic to me, as I don't remember ever hearing about the website before the pandemic era. And sure enough, according to Wikipedia (citing a New York Times article), the website didn't launch until November 2016. Therefore, Sofia – who was murdered in June 2016 – could not have been a prolific OnlyFans poster. Sofia's supposed OnlyFans account is referenced several further times throughout the book. Based on data from Google Trends, it seems incredibly unlikely that Strike and Robin would have readily known what OnlyFans was in late 2016/early 2017. So Where is Bora Bora?The Caerphilly 2025 Election: Victories for Left and Right Wing Populist Parties* 2025 Caerphilly Bi-Election (Wikipedia!)* UK's Ruling Labour Suffer Crushing Defeat Against Political Insurgents at Ballot Box (Breitbart)Justin Clavet ‘On Manhood in Hallmarked Man'The biggest thing that struck me in this book was the persistent themes of manhood woven throughout: the responsibilities, relationships, and hardships of men. * The central crime is linked with a secretive fraternal organization. * It opens with the death of Strike's father figure Ted, a “proper man” (p. 38), by whose maxims Strike is newly resolved to live. * We learn that Ted would've murdered (or been murdered by) his father Trevik if he hadn't left home and joined the army (p. 39), just like Strike would have come to blows (or worse) with his step-father Whittaker if he hadn't left home and joined the army. * While he loses the man he called his dad, he has a real meeting with his natural father for the first time. Rokeby shares that, in Strike, he had produced a proper man” (p. 747). * Strike celebrates not having fathered a child (while Robin is distraught in the wake of her own lost child, and devastated that the option to be a mother may no longer be hers to choose).* Richard de Leon says that his brother Danny was made the way he is because of his father's mistreatment. * Strike is bewildered that Danny (who integrates his brother's Christian name into his porn name, Dick de Lion) and Richard could be so close and share so much with each other, contrasting this with his own relationship with Al. * Leda and Rena are both shown to have suffered because of the absence of their more stable brothers. * Strike observes that “men are seen as disposable in certain contexts” (pp. 107f).* Wardle, who is shown to be a caring and dedicated father to his young child, opens up to Strike about his depression and his marriage troubles. * Strike reflects on the shallow friendships he has with other men, and later sees how this kind of friendship can be toxic with the wrong personalities (in Powell, Pratt, and Jones, p. 860). * Strike fears Wardle may be at risk of suicide. Niall is found to have committed suicide after his brother in arms was horrifically executed by Islamist combatants. The public can't be bothered to care about the tragic loss of this man who heroically put his life on the line for his country - preferring instead to lend their attention to the spectacle of another man, Branfoot, who went to extreme lengths to indulge his basest and most perverse desires (p. 873).Like many events in this book, this theme - with characters showing genuine concern and thoughtful consideration of complex men's issues - is a mirror image of one presented in Troubled Blood with the character of Carl Oakden and his cynical men's rights grift.This barely scratches the surface of the notes that I took on this theme, which I saw running deep through the whole book. I wondered if I was just seeing this in the text because of my own perspective as a man, or if it really was there. Indeed, you could find hints of this theme in each of the preceding seven books. But the structural clues left me convinced it was intentional. And when I watched this video (https://robert-galbraith.com/robert-galbraith-discusses-the-case-in-the-hallmarked-man/) the day after finishing the book, there was no doubt.Justin Clavet on the Hallmarked Man Dedication and Rokeby's Gratitude· I connected the book's dedication to Sean and Nadine Harris with Rokeby's statement on p. 748, “Not everyone's got a mate called Leo ‘oo stops ‘em livin' rough” and that he attributes his artistic and financial success to his friend's generosity and charity.Ed Shardlow on The Ickabog as Hallmarked Man's Parallel BookConscious of the links between the first 7 books of the series and the Potter books, and with three books purportedly remaining in the series, I was primed to see a connection between The Hallmarked Man and one of Casual Vacancy, Christmas Pig or the Ickabog. I didn't have any predisposition to it being any of those. Even if Rowling is taking them in some sort of chronological order, there's reason to believe the orders of conception, writing and publishing may differ.At the end of Part One, I thought the Ickabog looked like the best fit based on the fact that the central mystery of who the body in the vault was has a certain similarity to the mystery of the Ickabog itself and whether it was real or a myth. The importance of the truth and the damage done by lies are fundamental to the Ickabog story, and I thought from the start those were major themes in THM.The other correspondences I've spotted:* The police, in various guises, like the royal guard play an important part, largely inept, self-serving, and perpetrators of miscarriages of justice.* The aristocrats - Lord Branfoot, Lady Jenson, Dino Longcaster - lie and deceive to protect their own interests, causing untold damage in the process.* There's terrorism, and terrorism being used to spread fear and division.* Ultimately Rupert and Decima, two sexes but one entity, produce an offspring that may have been defective or corrupted by the state of the world he was born into, but seems to have emerged happy and healthy. Daisy Dovetail having persuaded Rupert the Ickabog that humanity was worth making compromises for.* The main antagonist traps a woman in his house. I thought their names were Esmeralda and Sapphire, but it's Lady Eslanda not Esmeralda… But apparently Eslanda can mean emerald, or VIOLET, or truth… So Eslanda corresponds to both Sapphire and Jolanda!* We visit a feudal state* Ben Liddell – the soldier killed in an incident in a land where there shouldn't have been any military conflict happening and it being covered up by the government* Sandra Hope: The Footprint!Ed Shardlow, I can't wait for your show on the parallels between THM and the Ickabog!!! I just finished rereading both of them and I'm losing my mind! Omg, the footprint: “The Flaw in the Plan (ch32) is that the footprint is hopping (not so much terrifying as ludicrously funny) and Strike noting that the bearer of the footprint in the vault has a limp!! Please let this conversation happen soon!!Sandra Hope: Strike 8 as a ‘Rowling's Greatest Hits Album' of Allusions:Allusions that took my breath away:* Ectopic pregnancy- TB* Schadenfreude- CC* “So many babies”- not just born, but what they're born into- Ickabog borndings* Human trafficking ring- RG* Woman buried in/under concrete- TB* Staged murder involving mutilation- Silkworm* Violent attacks & subsequent PTSD- a Rowling theme in every book, but especially CE & LW* DNA testing & fatherhood- CV, TB* Guys trying to find right time to ask a potential partner a question- GOF lol* Valentine's Day mishaps- CS, TB* Behavior of abandoned mothers-Silkworm (& HBP), specifically Merope, Leonora, Decima (also Leda)* Journalism as a weapon- GOF, OOP, Silkworm, RG* Potential ill usage of mirrors- SSNot a complete list by any means lolLC – Dorothy Sayers Connection?I don't know if there is anything in my seeing parallels between Cormoran and Robin and Peter Wimsey and Harriet Vance (Dorothy Sayers): Peter and Harriet had a very long acquaintance before they finally got engaged, with lots of twists and turns. Peter goes deep undercover in an ad agency in one novel; the feel of it was very similar to Robin going deep undercover in Lethal White. Also, the Sayers novel “Five Red Herrings” also features five men--in this case, five men who could have been the murderer (instead of the victim). Sayers also had very intricate plots that were puzzles--and was a Dante scholar. I believe Jo has mentioned that she admired Sayers. I don't know if these are just interesting parallels that Jo is having fun with or not, but they certainly seem to be more than coincidences. Thanks!Kathleen O'Connor – Alternative Incest Big Twist IdeasI'm impressed by your arguments that we will see some shocking twists – in addition to the shocking twist that Rokeby is actually, in his old age, a good father to his mature son, Cormoran, and not at all the image-focused a*****e we have seen through Strike's eyes up to now. I don't think, however, we will find that Rokeby is not Strike's father. That revelation would dilute Strike's growth in terms of his realizations that he has been mistaken about many things that he has taken for granted in his life. Instead, I think instead we will see a continuation of Robeby's rehabilitation until eventually, like Snape, Rokeby makes some kind of big sacrifice to aid Cormoran or someone/something else important to Cormoran. Also, even though Strike does not physically resemble Rokeby, he does resemble Prudence: * “Seeing them face to face, Robin spotted her partner's resemblance to Jonny Rokeby for the first time. He and his half-sister shared the same defined jaw, the same spacing of the eyes. She wondered – she who had three brothers, all of the same parentage – what it felt like, to make a first acquaintance with a blood relative in your forties. But there was something more there than a faint physical resemblance between brother and sister: they appeared, already, to have established an unspoken understanding.” - The Running Grave And: * “In youth, Strike knew, Rokeby had been exactly as tall as his oldest son, though he was now a little shorter.” - The Hallmarked Man Maybe the big twist and incest plot is connected to either Switch or Whittaker. As we learn from Wikipedia in Career of Evil, Jeff Whittaker never knew who his father was. A strong possibility could be that Patricia Whittaker's own father, Sir Randolph, had gotten her pregnant with Jeff. In that case, keeping that secret – as well as simply keeping the baby away from Leda – could have been the motive for a Whittaker family member to have killed Leda. An even bigger twist might be that Leda did commit suicide, using exactly the method of Krystal Weedon, after she realized that she was Whittaker's sister. Would it be possible for Trevik to have met up with Patricia Whitaker in London and gotten her pregnant? Regardless of the incest angle, I do think we might find that Leda, whose life choices have not allowed her to develop the strength or discipline to face hard truths, may have committed suicide rather than cope with some kind of guilt (maybe she found out what happened to Lucy?). There are multiple examples that foreshadow these possibilities – off the top of my head, there are “naughty boy” wealthy aristos (Freddy Chiswell, Alexander Graves, Will Edensor, Jago Ross) who might parallel Sir Randolph or Jeff Whittaker, and multiple characters who confuse suicide with sacrifice or who simply cannot face what they have done (Cherie Gittins, Krystal Weedon, Yasmin Weatherhead). Rhiannon Winn and Ellie Fancourt both commit suicide because they cannot cope with the shame they feel as a result of others' cruelty.Also, I can think of two points that support your idea that we will find out some bad things about Ted. Number one, the revelations that Dumbledore was extremely flawed are crucial to Harry's story. In fact, I suggest that writing characters who are not merely “gray” but who are simultaneously really good and really bad is a “golden thread” of Rowling's work. And, number two, we hear multiple times that Ted taught Strike, “There's no pride in having what you never worked for” while Rokeby says “I don't wanna die wivvout knowin' ya. You fink I 'aven't got the right to be proud, maybe, but I am. I'm proud of ya.” I don't think it is an accident that Rowling sets up this opposition, and I also think she wants us to admire Rokey's desire to know his son.

Anja en Jolanda zijn deze keer beland in het Textielmuseum te Tilburg waar een keimooie tentoonstelling te zien is tot en met 15 maart 2026. Deze nieuwe tentoonstelling Haus of Fibre vormt eigenlijk een kleurrijk, warm en eigenzinnig queer huis waar iedereen volledig zichzelf mag zijn. Conservator Adelheid Smit vertelt vol passie en emotie over de krachtige rol van textiel in queer kunstenaarschap, identiteit en activisme. Met werken van o.a. Melanie Bonajo, Marcos Kueh, Wallter van Beirendonck en niet eerder getoond werk van Ada Maricia Patterson. En daarnaast nog heel veel andere kunstenaars (teveel om op te noemen).Zeer gepassioneerd vertelt Adelheid het verhaal van deze Tilburgse tentoonstelling, waarin textiel fungeert als medium én metafoor voor verbondenheid, verlies en verzet. Onze Jolanda bleef regelmatig hangen bij de Coat of Many Colors vanwege de kleurrijke pracht en praal en natuurlijk de associatie met Dolly..Luister je weer mee? En ga ook vooral nog dat zien in Tilburg! Meer info? https://textielmuseum.nl/tentoonstellingen/haus-of-fibre. Daar vind je ook informatie over de vele evenementen die rondom de tentoonstelling georganiseerd gaan worden.

Van onmetelijk verdriet naar overlevingskracht Wat doe je als je als ouder niet één, maar twee kinderen verliest door de verwoestende impact van drugs? Jack en Jolanda Keijzer weten wat het betekent als de wereld stilvalt. Hun zoon Pascal werd op 16-jarige leeftijd vermoord bij een drugsruzie. Negen jaar later koos hun jongste zoon Remy ervoor het leven los te laten. In deze aangrijpende aflevering vertelt Jack hoe hun gezin werd verscheurd door het geweld en de nasleep van drugs, maar ook hoe ze, tegen alle verwachtingen in, manieren vonden om door te leven. Niet omdat het moest, maar omdat hun zonen dat van hen zouden willen.

Aflevering 6/6 Als je kinderen hebt, ben je na een scheiding niet van je ex af. Je blijft levenslang ouders samen. Hoe zorg je ervoor dat jullie relatie zo is dat jullie samen goed voor de kinderen zorgen?  Te gast zijn Judith van Leeuwen, ze heeft vier kinderen en is na achttien jaar huwelijk gescheiden, en Jolanda Vogelzang, ze heeft ook vier kinderen en is na 27 jaar huwelijk gescheiden. Een goede relatie onderhouden met je ex is een grote opgave, ervaarden beiden. Hoe hebben ze dat aangepakt?  Duidelijke afspraken zijn volgens hen erg belangrijk bij de opvoeding van jullie kinderen. ‘Maak heel praktische en concrete afspraken zodat de kinderen weten waar ze aan toe zijn.' Ook eerlijke communicatie speelt daarbij een belangrijke rol. Jolanda: ‘Mijn ex zei op een gegeven moment tegen de kinderen: vraag maar aan je moeder. Dat vond ik te afstandelijk en toen heb ik gelijk gevraagd of hij papa en mama wilde blijven zeggen.' De komst van nieuwe partners kan voor nieuwe hobbels op de weg zorgen in de relatie met je ex en kinderen. Zo wachtte Judith lang voordat ze ging samenwonen met haar nieuwe partner. ‘Dat zou ik iedereen aanbevelen. De kinderen rust geven om te wennen aan een nieuwe situatie.' Judith en Jolanda vertellen in deze aflevering hoe zij de relatie met hun ex hebben opgepakt na de scheiding. Van samen feestdagen blijven vieren tot respectvol over je ex-partner blijven praten tegen je kinderen. Scheidingsexpert Anje Slootweg geeft tips over hoe je goed samen je kinderen blijft opvoeden, ondanks dat je uit elkaar bent.  Dit was de laatste aflevering van seizoen 2.

Anja en Jolanda gaan vanuit de Brabantse Potcast in gesprek met de penningmeester van COC Noordoostbrabant over de Pride Swing van 10 oktober in de Orangerie in Den Bosch. Een legende keert namelijk terug… In de jaren '90 en '00 waren de Gay Swing feesten in De Orangerie een begrip – niet alleen in Den Bosch, maar ver daarbuiten. Een plek waar je kon zijn wie je bent, kon dansen tot je voeten het begaven en de liefde en vrijheid voelbaar waren op de dansvloer. Ter ere van het 50-jarig jubileum van COC Noordoost Brabant blazen ze dit iconische feest nieuw leven in. Pride Swing – De Reünie wordt een avond vol herkenning, verbinding en vooral: feest! Verwacht een mix van muziek uit de jaren 70, 80, 90 en 00's in de indrukwekkende ruimte van de Orangerie. Met een kleurrijk publiek van toen én nu. Iedereen die de LHBTQIA+ gemeenschap een warm hart toedraagt is welkom.

In deze aflevering gaan Anja en Jolanda in gesprek met Haidy Möller over het Bossche roze Stadsdorp. Met het ouder worden verminderen namelijk je contacten als een soort natuurlijk gegeven. Het Roze Stadsdorp Den Bosch geeft je dan nu de mogelijkheid om nieuwe vriendschappen te sluiten, bestaande te verstevigen en oude terug te vinden. Het helpt je om zelf de regie te houden over je oude(re) dag en onderdeel te worden van het roze Bossche dorpsgevoel. Haidy geeft aan dat ze maandelijks bijeen komen met borrels, met themabijeenkomsten, gaan bridgen, gaan wandelen etc. Wat Anja en Jolanda betreft een keimooi initiatief , dus luister je met ons mee?Zie ook de link www.rozestadsdorpdenbosch.nl voor alle activiteiten en het prikbord!!!

Aflevering 3/6 Persoonlijkheids- en ontwikkelingsstoornissen worden vaak genoemd als reden voor scheiding. Soms terecht, soms als excuus. Als er sprake is van een stoornis, kan samenleven extreem pittig zijn. Kun je samenleven met iemand met narcisme of autisme? En wanneer is een scheiding onvermijdelijk?  Te gast zijn twee vrouwen die getrouwd waren met een man met een gediagnosticeerde stoornis. Noortje is twee keer gescheiden van een partner met autisme. Jolanda is na ruim twintig jaar huwelijk gescheiden van haar narcistische partner. Beiden gebruiken een gefingeerde naam, voor hun eigen privacy en die van hun ex-partner. Noortje vertelt wat ze in de praktijk meemaakte met haar ex-man. Na 26 jaar huwelijk werd het voor haar ondraaglijk: 'Er was geen connectie meer, geen aanraking. Ik heb gezegd: Ik voel me een huishoudster en die hoeft niet bij je in te wonen.' Jolanda's ex wilde overal controle over. Zelfs het inpakken van de auto ging niet goed: 'Als ik een tas neerzette, dan ging die er weer uit. Het was nooit goed.' Het ergste was voor haar de seksuele manipulatie. 'Als vrouw is het heel moeilijk om te vrijen als je denkt: anders wordt hij chagrijnig.' Volgens scheidingsexpert Anje Slootweg worden bij scheidingen vaak stoornissen genoemd, maar is daar lang niet altijd sprake van. In een relatie die zwaar onder druk staat, worden soms gedragingen zichtbaar die lijken op kenmerken van een stoornis. Bij een gediagnosticeerde stoornis heeft de partner het moeilijk, zelfs extreem moeilijk als het over narcisme gaat. 'Dat is niet veranderbaar.' Hoe ga je er dan mee om? Anje geeft advies.  Noortje en Jolanda delen in deze aflevering hoe zij zijn omgegaan met de stoornis van hun partner. Voor welke keuzes stonden zij? Welke lessen hebben ze geleerd? Hoe kijken zij tegen het snelle labelen van ex-partners aan? En kan het, samenleven met iemand met autisme of narcisme? Op 23 september verschijnt aflevering 4: Dit deed de scheiding met mijn familie en vrienden. Reageren op deze aflevering? Mail dan naar gebrokengelofte@nd.nl.

Afgelopen jaar zijn Lenneke en Pauline gestart met lesbische speeddates in Brabant. Zij zijn/waren ( eentje heeft inmiddels een relatie) twee vrijgezellige vrouwen die al een poos op zoek waren naar een leuke vrouw. Maar die waren moeilijk zomaar te vinden in Brabant, dus zijn ze deze speeddate-avonden gaan organiseren. Dit doen ze voor lesbische Brabanders. We kunnen vertellen dat deze avonden zeer succesvol zijn; luister ook mee naar de speedate-avonturen van onze Anja. Pauline en Lenneke vertellen in deze Brabantse Potcast aan Anja en Jolanda over de avonden, hoeveel matches er al zijn en geven vooral veel tips en tricks... Ook geven ze aan dat er nog vele avonden gaan volgen; binnenkort voor de gay vrouwen met een zachte G op zondag 5 oktober in Eindhoven voor de 45+ lesbische Brabanders. Luister je mee naar deze verhalen? Ow, en niet schrikken van de hond.... die blaft maar bijt niet hoor ;-) 

Ein Zuhause kann vieles sein: Es kann ein Haus, ein besonderer Ort oder auch die Lieblingsmenschen sein.

Tippelaarster Jolanda Meijer (35) staat bij een portiek aan de Westerhaven in Groningen, naast de Kijkshop. Het is haar territorium, haar overlevingsplek. Op een dag verdwijnt ze spoorloos. Volg Radio Ramkraak nu ook via TikTok, Instagram of WhatsApp! Heb je een tip voor de redactie van Radio Ramkraak? Mail dan naar podcast@dvhn.nl of podcast@lc.nl. Ruim tien jaar later verdwijnt ook Marian Kusters (43), de vriendin, collega en partner in crime van Jolanda. In de nacht van 7 op 8 december 2009 wordt ze voor het laatst gezien bij de tippelzone aan de Bornholmstraat. „Ze stapte in een auto”, weet hulpverleenster Gonnie Lemckert. Jolanda en Marian kennen dezelfde klanten en hebben mogelijk ook dezelfde vijanden. Samen beroven de twee klanten en dealers om aan geld voor drugs te komen. „Een getuige heeft verklaard, dat Jolanda was vreselijk bang was voor iemand,” zegt oud-politiemedewerker Hariie timmerman. Geruchten gonzen. Een ex-klant? Een drugsdealer? Een groep mannen waar meerdere vrouwen bang voor zijn? Niets wordt uitgesloten. De politie zoekt op verschillende plaatsen naar het lichaam van Jolanda, maar vindt niets. Hulpverleenster Gonnie Lemckert ziet de angst bij Marian groeien. „Ze wist veel, maar zei: ‘Als ik praat, leef ik morgen niet meer.'” Gonnie heeft gelijk, kort nadat Marian met de politie praat, gaat het mis. Ze wordt in elkaar geslagen door een dealer. Haar caravan wordt in brand gestoken. en dan verdwijnt zij ook. Robbie Kemna, de zoon van Marian, is dan nog maar dertien. Nu, vijftien jaar later, legt hij elk jaar bloemen bij de Bornholmstraat. Op zijn kaaklijn staat groot de naam van zijn moeder getatoeëerd: Marian. „Je kan het nooit afsluiten. Het boek kan niet dicht,” zegt hij in de podcast. De meeste tippelaarsters kennen het verhaal van Jolanda en Marian. Ze zijn allemaal bang. „Ik weet waar je moet zoeken,” zegt Linda (61) zichtbaar angstig. „Maar ik zeg niets, voor mijn eigen veiligheid.” De tippelzone sluit in 2019. Officieel omdat het niet meer nodig is. Maar voor velen voelt het als wegkijken. Er is geen controle meer. Geen hulp. Geen bescherming.

Send us a textThe strength of queer resilience shines through in this powerful episode featuring two remarkable Texans taking bold stands in hostile territory. Representative Jolanda Jones pulls back the curtain on the disturbing reality of Texas politics, where LGBTQ+ rights are under constant assault and even moderate Republicans vote for discriminatory legislation out of fear of being "primaried" by extremists. As Texas' first openly queer Black representative, Jones shares her remarkable journey from ally to advocate, including her groundbreaking decision to hire an openly transgender person while serving on Houston's city council years before such actions were commonplace."Every day there was an attack on LGBTQ rights," Jones reveals with candid frustration about the recent legislative session. Her piercing question to Republican colleagues—"What is this fixation you have with who you think I sleep with?"—exposes the bizarre obsession underlying much anti-LGBTQ+ legislation. Now running for Congressional District 18, Jones aims to become the first openly Black LGBTQ+ person in Congress, continuing her lifelong fight for equality and representation.The episode transitions from political battlegrounds to creative expression with Joel Sandel, a veteran of Houston's theater scene currently starring as the Wizard in AD Players' spectacular production of The Wizard of Oz. Sandel explores why this classic story has become "the storybook for our community," with its themes of chosen family, belonging, and self-acceptance resonating deeply with queer experiences. The production itself mirrors this blending of traditional and progressive values, maintaining the beloved story while incorporating spectacular new elements like flying characters and restored musical numbers.Both conversations illuminate different facets of queer existence in Texas—the political fight for basic rights and the cultural expressions that sustain the soul. As Jones powerfully summarizes: "Queer people are no different than straight people. We want families, jobs, happiness... We're just like you. We just happen to love the people that we love." Listen now for an uplifting reminder that whether in legislative chambers or on stage, queer voices will not be silenced.Queer Voices airs in Houston Texas on 90.1FM KPFT and is heard as a podcast here.

⚙️ Wegens onderhoud aan onze studio kan de kwaliteit van de podcast anders klinken dan u gewend bent.Te gast zijn Jolanda Aantjes, bestuurslid van New Wine die bekendheid verwierf door dagelijks te bidden voor nieuwe dopelingen in haar kleine kerk, en Ronald Westerbeek, huistheoloog van New Wine en auteur van het nieuwe boek 'Proeven en watertanden'.Worden protestantse kerken steeds charismatischer? En wat betekent dat eigenlijk? In aanloop naar de New Wine zomerconferentie bespreken Dick en Daniël met hun gasten of elke doorsnee gelovige moet leren profeteren en bidden om genezing. ‘De Heilige Geest is niet iets vaags maar gewoon realiteit', stelt Jolanda, die na anderhalfjaar bidden inderdaad nieuwe dopelingen zag in haar vergrijzende kerkje. Maar charismatisch is niet hetzelfde als evangelisch, benadrukken ze. En wat onderscheidt echte charismatische spiritualiteit van de uitwassen? Ronald pleit voor een bredere kijk: ‘God werkt wonderen door ons heen, we worden daarbij ingeschakeld.' Het gesprek gaat over profetie – zonder direct “Zo spreekt de Heer" te zeggen – over het wonder van de broodvermenigvuldiging, en waarom trouw aan je lokale gemeente belangrijker is dan hoppen van event naar event. Want waar werkt de Heilige Geest het meest - op een conferentie of gewoon in je eigen kerk?Dit is de laatste aflevering voor de zomerstop. Dick en Daniël zijn weer terug op 29 augustus.Luister ook:

What happens when life takes you thousands of miles from home to a country you never planned to stay in? For Jolanda, what began as a four-year assignment in Ghana with her husband and young children in 1995 transformed into a 30-year journey of building a life, family, and thriving business in West Africa.Her story begins with culture shock – the crowded airport, the unfamiliar sounds of frogs in drainage gutters, and the simplicity of life in 1990s Accra. Yet within these challenges, she discovered the warmth of Ghanaian people and opportunities that wouldn't have been possible in her native Italy. As Jolanda navigated motherhood in a foreign country, she progressed from administrative roles at the British High Commission to leadership positions in Ghana's growing real estate sector.The turning point came unexpectedly in 2014 when a breast cancer diagnosis forced her to resign from her position. Instead of retreating, she used this challenging period to envision her future, founding Akka Kappa Limited while recovering. Her company now manages over 1,300 property listings and has earned international recognition for excellence.What sets Jolanda's approach apart is her unwavering commitment to customer experience. She shares candid insights about the challenges of maintaining high standards in a service business, the importance of continuous staff training, and how passion must be paired with discipline for success. Her observations about workforce development in Ghana are particularly valuable for anyone building teams in emerging markets.Beyond business wisdom, this conversation reveals profound truths about family, resilience, and creating opportunity. From raising multilingual children to navigating healthcare challenges abroad, Jolanda demonstrates how adversity can become a catalyst for growth. Her advice to follow your passion resonates whether you're considering an international move or simply facing a career crossroads.Subscribe to Konnected Minds Podcast for more stories of resilience and entrepreneurship from visionaries shaping business landscapes around the world.

I hope you guys are having a fantastic day or evening and are excited for another episode of The VBAC Link. We have our friend, Molly, today, and she is from central Alabama, and then we also have a co-host today. She's one of our doulas. Her name is Allison. Hello, Allison.Allison: Hi, Meagan. Hi, Molly.Molly: Hi.Meagan: I was going to say, and hello, Molly. Molly: Hi.Meagan: Welcome to the show you guys, and thank you for joining us. Allison is actually one of our doulas. I don't know if you've noticed along the way here and there, we have one of our doulas on as a co-host. I think it's so fun to hear an educational topic from them and then, of course, share where they are at because I truly believe hiring a doula is so impactful. In fact, on Molly's form, that is one of the tips that she gave. Right, Molly? You're like, hire a doula.Molly: Yes, absolutely. It made all the difference this birth.Meagan: Yes. Doulas are incredible. So if you can, hire a doula. Before we get into Molly's story, Allison, I wanted to just turn the time over to you really quick and have you share a little bit more of where you are at. So for the listeners, maybe in your area, they can find you.Allison: Absolutely. Well, listeners, you have a treat because I serve everyone all over the world, globally. All of my work is online. My business name is The Cesarean Doula because I actually support women and birthing people emotionally after having emotionally difficult or traumatic Cesarean births. I do all of my work primarily over the Internet over Zoom. My focus is actually not on birth but on postpartum and on recovering from the feelings of grief, sadness, loss, overwhelm, and confusion that we often have after a Cesarean that's undesired or that goes in a difficult direction. I had one of those. That's what brings me to this work.Meagan: Yes. I love that you mentioned that you're like, this is what brings me here. I think in a lot of ways for doulas, that's what brings us to doing this work is our own experience and wanting to set a different pace and make change. So I love what you're doing. We're recording in 2024, everybody, but hopefully now, it's 2025, and you can go to our website because we're hoping to have a different option for searching doulas where you can actually go and search for online only because we do have a big chunk of doulas that do virtual support. So let's hope that that is the thing. If not, email me and say, "Meagan, get on it. Do this, because I want this option." Okay. Well, Ms. Molly, welcome to the show. You guys, Molly is a full-time mama, a part-time vet technician, and a soccer coach. That is a lot of things all at the same time. Yes. My husband is a soccer coach and just that alone is a lot. Like I said, she lives in Alabama with her husband and her two sons, her mom, and lots of dogs, cats and horses. She said that she also has two daughters in heaven. I'm sure you're maybe going to talk about that a little bit today, Molly.Molly: Yes, it is part of our story.Meagan: Yes. Okay. Well, thank you guys again for being here. In just one moment, we're going to dive in. All right, Ms. Molly. I don't know why I keep calling you that Ms. Molly, like you're a teacher.Molly: It's the song. It'll get you.Meagan: It comes together. Yeah, seriously. Okay, thank you so much for being here and yeah, I would love to turn the time over to you to share all of these stories.Molly: Thank you very much. So if you guys, if you listen to The VBAC Link, I was on a couple years ago talking about my first C-section and then the subsequent VBAC with my first daughter. Unfortunately, a couple years after that, my daughter passed away. And shortly after that, the desire to have another baby was laid on our hearts, and so we decided to try that.For various reasons, that meant we had to go through IVF. We were very lucky in that our IVF journey was short. That's a whole other podcast on its own, the IVF process. We ended up with three embryos, and then in December of '23, we did our first transfer. That one unfortunately failed. And so that's my second daughter in heaven. We did another test after that to see why the transfer had failed and determined that we needed another day of shots. Well, I say we-- me. I needed another day of shots to do the transfer. So in March, we did another transfer with the extra day of shots, and that one was successful. I had the teeniest bit of spotting the next day and just woke up knowing I was pregnant. It was pretty magical, actually. The at-home pregnancy test, seven days after that, was positive. Then the blood tests after that were positive. I did have a little bit of spotting after that which was a little scary. I talked to my doctor, and she upped the progesterone in oil shots I was taking. The amount of those seemed to clear out the spotting. And then we went in for our first ultrasound. I was diagnosed with a subchorionic hematoma, I think is what it's called, which is essentially like a bruise between the placenta and the uterine lining. That cleared up on its own. Fortunately, after that, I was a "normal" pregnancy. We weaned off the IVF shots. My last one was actually on Mother's Day which was a magical little sign. And that's when we dove right into labor prep. We did the Spinning Babies and bouncing on the birth ball. I walked every day. We went back through our birth plan. We tried to cover every single contingency from a repeat Cesarean which wasn't the goal, but we wanted to be prepared just in case. We prepared to labor at home as long as humanly possible. We even prepared to have a car baby. We had a bag with a bowl to catch the placenta and towels and puppy pads just in case we labored at home so long that we had a car baby.We hired a doula this time around. We had originally played around with the idea of doing a home birth, but in Alabama for VBACs, midwives still cannot attend VBACs at home in Alabama. We did find a midwife who was willing to do that for us but because of the restrictions, it wasn't covered by insurance, and that priced it out. So the compromise was that we would do a hospital birth, but I could have a doula this time. We interviewed doulas and found one who's actually certified by The VBAC Link. She's taken y'all's class and she was wonderful. Her name is Jolonda, and she was fantastic. And actually, in the end, my husband said, "I'm so glad we had a doula for me." Not necessarily for me, but for him. He needed her more than I did, and that was pretty cool. We also, this time, instead of going with an OB, went with midwives. They were associated with an OB practice, but we went just to the midwives. That was an interesting and much different experience. It was more like a conversation and less like an exam. We go in, and they would take my blood pressure, and then we would just talk. It was wonderful. She went through my birth plan point-by-point, and then signed it and scanned it into my chart. Anything that wasn't possible, she'd say, "Well, we can't do this because of the hospital we were at, but we can do this or we can try and do this and make that work." She was completely accepting of anything that I wanted to do differently. We decided not to do the erythromycin eye ointment. She said, "Yes." She was fine with that. We delayed, I think, the Vitamin K shot then and the delayed cord clamping. She was all 100% supportive of everything that we wanted to do. I did have to see the OB once just so they could sign off on me being a, quote, healthy pregnancy, and that was a quick in and out. There was a doctor visit, and they said, "Okay, we'll see you back in a couple of weeks." I said, "No, I'm going to go back across the street to midwives. I'll see them in a couple weeks." So that was all. My pregnancy really in itself was pretty normal. And then we got closer and closer to my due date. Now, I was due on November 18, and we got closer. I stopped working as a veterinary technician on the end of October right before Halloween. We had our baby shower. We were getting close to all the guess dates. Everybody had guessed when your baby's going to come. I would text them, "Nope, you missed it. It wasn't today." And so we slowly passed all those days, and then we passed my due date. We were doing everything-- the tea and bouncing on the birth ball and the dates and the pineapple, walking, The Miles Circuit, curb-walked. I knew the closer we got to 41 weeks and 42 weeks even, the more that there was going to be pressure for a repeat Cesarean. Now, to my midwife's credit, she never mentioned a repeat Cesarean. That was the very last thing that she ever talked to us about. We had talked about it in our birth plan, of course, but as we passed the due date, she didn't mention that as a course of action. As a joke, we asked our son, "When do you think Mama will have the baby? Now that we're past our due date, when do you think Mom will have the baby?" And he said, "I think she's going to wait until December." I said, "Buddy, please don't put that on me." So we'll let you know how that goes towards the end.Meagan: Yeah, I mean that would be what, two and a half more weeks? Three? Yeah, two and a half more weeks.Molly: Yeah, it was a long time. And I said, "Bud, please don't put that on me. That's a long more time." So then we made it through Thanksgiving. I consented to a cervical check at 39 weeks and there was no action the cervix, but you and I know that that can change in an instant, and it's not an indicator of anything. Meagan: Nope.Molly: At 40 weeks, I consented to another check and to a sweep of the cervical membranes. That made me feel crampy but really didn't do anything. We started talking about induction at that appointment. We talked about starting with the Foley bulb over breaking the waters or maybe Pitocin. We talked about those options and which ones I was most comfortable with. And so then after the 40-week appointment, they sent me in for a biophysical and non-stress test, and we passed those with flying colors. No problem. Baby was fine, I was fine. She just was very, very comfortable. Then at the 41-week appointment, we did another sweep and this time I was dilated to a really tight 1. But again, that didn't really do anything. We made our next appointment for 41 weeks and 3 days. And the ladies in the front office said, "We hope we don't see for that appointment." And I said, "I hope you don't either," but we did see them for that appointment. So at 41 weeks and 3 days, we talked about the induction again. They did another sweep just in the hope that maybe it would start things. It didn't. So we talked about and scheduled the induction. We'd agreed to start with the Foley and see how that went, and then maybe talk about breaking waters and maybe, maybe Pitocin being our last resort. We stopped for dinner. That was Wednesday evening. We stopped for dinner on the way in because I was like, "We're going to have a baby, and I need my strength. I've got to eat before we go in." So we stopped for dinner, and we got checked in. They got me strapped in with a wireless monitor, which was new this time and was so much better than the wired monitor because I could move. It was much better. And this is the start of what we like to jokingly call birthatory, because it's birth purgatory. I was stuck there in the room. I couldn't leave. My husband left just to get us food, but it just felt like we were there forever with nothing to do. And time moved strangely as well. I watched Friends at night to help me sleep, and I watched Parks and Rec during the day to keep me entertained. We did a lot of walking up and down the room as much as we could. And that Wednesday evening was just to start us monitoring. Jolanda came in, and she was in and out and checking with us that night. They also started me on the Group B strep meds. I think I forgot to mention I was positive this pregnancy. I had a weird reaction to whatever med they put me on first, like my scalp was on fire. It was a really bad reaction. Meagan: Interesting. Is that a common reaction?Molly: I believe they said it could happen, but it's not super common. I wish I could remember which medicine it was they gave me. But, I mean, it felt like my scalp was on fire. I was itching. It was horrible. So they gave me some Benadryl which fortunately helped me nap, so I got some rest. But we didn't want to do too much of that, so they switched me to a different medication. And again, I wish I could remember the name of it, but I can't. And that, I did not react to, so we stayed with that one for the rounds of the Group B Strep meds. So that was Wednesday night, and they were really just monitoring me. Thursday morning, the OB and the midwife on call came in to discuss my case. They discussed options. Pitocin. I consented to a check because we were going to start with the Foley, but I was at a 3 already. So that put the Foley out of commission because the Foley will only work up to 3. We talked about Pitocin versus artificial breaking of the membranes. The OB did do a little bit of pressuring, but we were all prepared for it. He said, "Well, at this point, this many post dates, you're probably definitely going to have meconium." And behind his back, my doula, my sweet doula rolled her eyes. It was what I needed, that support in that moment for the doctor to say, "Oh, well, there's definitely meconium." And my doula would be like, "No, there's probably not." So we asked for time to discuss between us and what to do. And Yolanda had these little informational cards with different affirmations. There was affirmation cards, but different, like facts about, induction from-- oh, I'm blanking.I can't remember. But they were little printed out laminated cards with different facts about different types of induction, and they were really helpful.It's Evidence Based Birth. That's what it was. It was all evidence-based and backed up by studies and stuff. So we discussed what we wanted to do, and we agreed to breaking the waters on Thursday morning. So the midwives came in and broke my waters, and there was no meconium. So that doctor can just go sit somewhere else. My waters are broken. I walked up and down the room, but nothing really happened. That night, there were some surges that we did time, but they petered out, and nothing really happened. So we woke up Friday morning, and that was December 1st. I, with despair in my voice, looked over at my husband and I said, "It's December. We've made it to December." I felt like a balloon that was beyond needing to pop and was just discouraged and tired. I was at the end of my rope, really, honestly. They came in, and I agreed to another check. This was the first check that they'd done since they broke my waters. And so if you're keeping count at home, my water's now been broken for about 26 hours. We happen to be watching an episode of Friends where the character, Rachel, is in labor, and she's having trouble dilating as well. And Ross makes a joke about, "I'm dilated 3." Well, they did the cervical check and checked, and I was still dilated 3. And Michael goes, "I'm dilated 3," and everybody laughed. It was a good break in the tension. After that, they left to go discuss my case. Michael went to go get me some hot water so I could make tea. But he came back in and he said, guess who's here and looking at your chart?" And I had no idea. He said, "It's Vicky," who's the midwife who helped deliver my first VBAC baby. She had retired, but come out of retirement and was only working on the weekends in the hospital. And I looked at him. I said, "We're having a baby today." Just something told me that with Ms. Vicky there with us, we were in good hands, and we were going to be okay. So she came in and talked to me about starting Pitocin. She also told me, because at this point, I was worried about a repeat Cesarean. And she told me, she said, "I'm no longer looking at you as a VBAC patient. You've had a successful vaginal birth. I'm treating you just like any other birth now." And it was such a healing statement for me. It wiped the worry about a repeat C-section out of my mind. It was just the perfect thing to say.Meagan: Yes. I don't want to interrupt you too much, but I love that you pointed that out, because most providers, they're actually looking at no matter if you've had a VBAC or not, you're always a VBAC. But what you just said to me really is gonna connect with so many others. It connected with me because we just want to be viewed as someone going in and having a baby. We don't want labels and these things that loom over our head even if we've had a VBAC before or if we haven't had a VBAC before. We just want to be looked at and treated as someone coming in and having a vaginal birth just like anybody else coming in and having a vaginal birth. So I love that you pointed that out, and I'm sure that that really did just connect and feel so good.Molly: It was a huge release of stress knowing that I didn't have to worry about the repeat C-section, the VBAC anymore, and I could just focus on having the baby and what I was doing and just doing what we needed to do that day to have the baby.Meagan: Yeah.Molly: So we did agree to the Pitocin she suggested. And we got very into the details, and we're almost a year out. I should have written them down sooner. I can't remember the numbers we started at, but she wanted to start at a certain amount over a certain time, and I disagreed. I said, "Let's start lower and slower." And she said, "That's fine. I'll do whatever you want to do." So we started really low and really slow, and I was starting to feel some things, but still not very much. It wasn't anything I had to stop to get through. It was really more just like a tightening. Jolanda came to hang out with us, brought us more food and water, and she brought a puzzle to help distract us. We were going crazy being stuck in that room. Vicky came in later that afternoon, and because still no progress was really being made. They didn't check me, but they could just tell from the contractions on the monitor. She talked about wanting to up the Pitocin a little bit faster and more frequently. I told her that I was worried about the difference in the Pitocin contractions versus natural contractions because I had heard and read so much that the Pitocin contractions are much more intense. And she told me that she'd given birth with and without Pitocin, and the only difference for her was that Pitocin births were faster. I agreed for her to bump it up a little bit, a little bit faster, that. After a little bit of time to talk about it, we agreed to do that. They did check me at that point, and I had worked my way up to a 5, and baby had moved from a -1 to, I believe, a +1. We dilated some, and baby had descended a little bit. At that point, the contractions did start to pick up, and I lost interest in the puzzle. We turned a movie on for me to watch. They were a little bit more intense, but still easy, and I could still talk through them and walk through them. Jolanda did an excellent job. She reminded me to go to the bathroom. And so I went to the bathroom, and when I walked out, I felt the baby drop. I don't know any other way to explain it, but I felt her drop in the birth canal. It was like she was sitting high, and then suddenly she dropped. I said that. I said, "Oh, I felt the baby drop." My sweet doula said, "You felt the baby drop?" I couldn't respond to her because then a contraction hit so hard that I could not talk through it. So, at that point, I told them, I said, "Please turn the movie off," because I couldn't handle the sound of movie. My husband turned on music in the background real low of our birth playlist. I needed to get down on all fours, so I got down on my knees, and I was bent over a birth ball swaying back and forth and moving forward and backwards, swaying my hips and vocalizing through them. Keep your mouth loose and low, moaning through them. At some point I didn't need the ball anymore and Jolanda brought in this inflatable thing. It was U-shaped and it was inflatable, but you could be in it and lean over it. And again, I wish I remember the name of it, but it wonderful because you could inflate and then deflate it to move it and get it out of there. But it was just perfectly shaped for me to be able to lean over it and even sit on it if I needed to, but I just was leaning over it. The contractions were getting more difficult, and she reminded me to relax my hands because my hands had gotten really tight. She was reminding me to breathe and relax my hands. She also suggested counter-pressure on my tailbone. I did not want it on my hips, but she tried it on my tailbone, and that felt incredible. Suddenly, the contractions were so much easier to bear, and they just felt more productive. It was fantastic. So she and my husband, Michael, took turns wearing their arms out, pushing my tailbone through the surges. At, that point, then the wireless monitor got weird because it had been on me for so long. The stickers, I guess, had just given out. So a poor nurse was on her knees underneath me holding the monitor on my belly, and there was either Jolanda or Michael behind me pushing on my tailbone through the contractions. And then I started grunting and felt pushy. Juolanda recognized my grunting because we talked about during my consult during my first VBAC. I get grunty when I'm pushing. She recognized the sound and she said, "Are you pushing?" But I didn't want to answer her because I didn't want to stop pushing because it felt so good to push. I hadn't been checked. So I didn't want them to know that I was pushing and check me and tell me that I couldn't push. And also, at this point, I was practically sitting back against the counter-pressure. The surge would hit, and I would sit back into whoever is doing counter-pressure and practically put my full weight back on my tailbone on their hand and the counter-pressure. Then, my knees got tired being on the floor. So I asked to move to the bed and they asked to check me. The midwife, Ms. Vicky, said, "I would love to check you right now." I said, "As long as I can be on my hands and knees, you can check me however you want."So I got up on my hands and knees on the bed, leaned over, and they checked me, and I was good to push. So at that point, we started actively pushing. Not just me pushing because it felt good, but pushing because we knew we were pushing a baby out. And pushing, it felt so good to push. I needed to push. It felt so good. I could feel her moving through the birth canal. I could feel her head coming down, and it was amazing. And just like with my first birth, it's frustrating to feel the baby move and then go back and then move forward and then go back, but you can tell you're making progress. I don't know how long I pushed for because I was way off in who knows where. Nobody else looked at the clock. Michael would have, but he was getting ready to catch. He had prepped to catch this baby. So I pushed her out into her papa's hands. He had prepped. He watched all kinds of videos meant for midwives, and he was so ready. He did such a great job. Baby Nora was there, and she was perfectly healthy. She was 7 pounds and 2 ounces, and 19 inches. For being 41 weeks and 5 days, she was still just perfectly cooked. I passed the placenta at some point after that. We did the golden hour, and we snuggled in. He cut the cord after it stopped pulsing. That was all very much a blur to me, just a golden, snuggly haze of love. So we passed the placenta, and it was declared complete. We looked at it, and we put in our little cooler to take home and freeze to plant her little birth tree. I did tear a little bit, so they stitched me up and we took some pictures. And then Ms. Vicky went home. She'd stayed 45 minutes late for us. She went home at that point, and I started nursing Nora. At that point, however, I was still in pain. So they said, "Would you like something for pain?" I asked for just Tylenol. I didn't want anything heavier than that, but I was still pushing. I was still feeling the urge to push, and it was getting worse. So the nurses applied some pressure to my uterus, external pressure. It hurt so bad I could barely stand it. Michael took the baby at that point, and Jolanda suggested me trying to avoid my bladder, and maybe that would help. But I couldn't. I couldn't get those muscles to work, so they put a catheter in. That didn't really help. The surges were still coming and I couldn't stop pushing. They put more pressure on my uterus, external pressure, and I passed a huge blood clot. It was like a softball-sized blood clot. That felt a little better, but I was still pushing and I could not stop the pushing. So they gave me some stronger pain meds and talked to the OB who was on call and all agreed that I needed to go the OR and see if something had been left. So we agreed to that and went under sedation into the OR, and they removed a golf ball-sized portion of the placenta. Meagan: Whoa.Molly: Yeah. It was confusing because they had declared my placenta complete and after talking about it, and they looked at all the pieces, and it turns out that I had a lobular lobe.Meagan: I was going to say you probably had a lobe.Molly: Yes. And so after I mentioned "Oh well, I had some spotting early in pregnancy," they figured that the spotting had contributed to that, and that's why the placenta looked complete and there was a lobe and the hematomas all contributed to the early bleeding and the lobe in the placenta. I came out of the OR fine. I got two bags of blood but felt fine. When I woke up, I got to hold Nora in the OR. Well, not in the OR, but in the recovery and nurse her again. And everything was really fine after that. Jolanda checked on us a couple of hours after that. She brought us food. We had talked about what I wanted to eat post-birth. I wanted to eat a cheeseburger with bacon from a specific place near the hospital with fries. She brought it all, and we ate it at like 11:00 PM. It was wonderful. And Michael, like I said before, said later that having a doula this time around was 100% worth it mostly for him because she was suggesting things that he wouldn't have known to offer like the counter-pressure and, "Hey, maybe she needs to pee," and things like that. It saved him and helped him know what to do while I was off in labor land. For that, our sweet doula was so worth it. And after that, recovery was great, and we were fine.Meagan: That is awesome. So still had a little bit of a hiccup there in the end, but overall a really great experience.Molly: It was awesome. And I said before, with the birth plan, we tried to plan for all contingencies, but the one thing we did not plan for was three days trying to be induced naturally. Meagan: Yeah.Molly: I mean, they say time isn't linear, and I have never felt that more true than we were stuck in that room for three days. It was very weird just not being able to get out. It's not something I would do again, the induction part, but we made it through thanks to great support from midwives and doula and my wonderful husband. I would do the birth part, and maybe not the hemorrhaging at the end, but the birth part I would do again.Meagan: Yeah, yeah, for sure. I mean, that's just less ideal. I don't know. Did they ever talk to you? Because I know that IVF parents do have a slightly increased chance of hemorrhaging. Did they ever relate it to IVF, or was it mainly just, "Hey, you had a subchorionic hematoma earlier, then you have this lobe." Maybe it was just that they.Molly: The doctors didn't. No, we were very aware that she was an IVF baby, and we had done a lot of research before that IVF babies have a very "sticky" placenta.Meagan: Yeah.Molly: That was one of the factors why we didn't do a home birth was because if the placenta sticks, and then you're at home, it can be a rush to the hospital. But the doctors at the hospital didn't mention the IVF possibility as the reason I hemorrhaged. Maybe it played a part. I don't know. They seemed to put it on the sub-chorionic hematoma. But it could have been both. I don't know.Meagan: Yeah. Yeah. All of the little factors could have been. The best thing is that it seemed pretty minor and a quick fix. A quick fix. I just wanted to remind everybody, so I'm pretty sure this is your episode. It's Episode 84. So if you want to go hear the breech Cesarean and the first VBAC, definitely go back and listen to those on Episode 84. Thank you so much for sharing your story, and I'm so glad that it was so great and that your husband got to catch a baby. That's like my favorite, you guys.Just to let you know, that's happening more and more. At least it has been here in Utah as we're attending births. Sometimes, all you've got to do is ask. So if you have a partner who is interested in that, I think asking is not harmful. Just ask. It can seem intimidating, but it's not too bad. It's not too bad. They really help these partners catch these babies. Allison, I would love to have you share your two cents and your educational topic on healing after Cesarean. We're doing these topics instead of reviews sometimes when we have guests. I love what you do because just like Molly and myself, we've been there having an unexpected-- well, maybe with the breech it was kind of planned. I'm trying to remember back in your story.Molly: So with the breech, with the Cesarean, we had planned a C-section, but then he broke my water early, so it was not necessarily an emergency Cesarean, but we had to go in before we were "scheduled" to for the C-section.It was planned, but unexpected at the time. The wrong timing. Yes. Okay. Well, tell us more, Allison.Allison: Yeah, and I want to say thank you so much, Molly, for sharing your story. I actually want to point out a few things that I think are really important here. I work with so many people who have had a birth that feels difficult or traumatic. And oftentimes, there are women who come to me who say, "I don't understand why I feel upset about my birth even though I have this baby who's healthy and alive, if we're lucky enough to have a living baby or a healthy baby or both." And one of the things I talk a lot about is that oftentimes it's not the events themselves in the birth that create a difficult or traumatic birth, but it's how we feel, right? And so, what makes a birth feel good or bad? Like, I listen to you talk about this experience where you had some challenges leading up to it, right? Especially preconception, and then during conception. I felt your joy. I felt your connectedness, and I felt your power throughout your story even as you talked about the really difficult part at the end with the placenta needing to be retrieved. I want to just point out that that's what I heard, and you've got to tell me if this feels right for you, Molly. But what I heard was many moments where you talked about feeling connected. You talked about your sweet doula. You talked about that surprise midwife coming in to support you. You felt connected. You felt seen like that moment where you said, "Oh, well, the monitor wasn't working, but then the nurse got underneath me," so instead of actually you accommodating the hospital's protocol and policy, I love this idea. I'm imagining a nurse laying on her back under you while you're on all fours. You're empowered. That's truly centering you. Right? You're in control in a lot of these moments. You said you wanted the Pitocin lower. The doctor or the midwife honored that. It sounds like you were informed. You used some examples of the cards from Evidence Based Birth, and a lot of the information you engaged with prior to birthing. One of the things I talk about with my clients is maybe you even feel sexy during birth. You didn't mention that at all, but that might have been. There might have been moments, maybe not. Are there any other emotions that come up for you? Did I leave anything out hat you're like, oh, I really felt another positive emotion?Molly: No, you've nailed it 100%. I felt very supported this birth from the midwife listening to me and, like you said, honoring my requests and my husband being there and the doula. I felt very supported. So even the end and the hemorrhaging which should have been scary, I don't look back on as scary. I don't want to repeat it, but I wasn't scared in that moment because I felt taken care of and supported.Meagan: Mhmm. Allison: Right. That is so textbook. I love this story because that's a really, really scary thing. And if you hadn't had that support, that attunement, that communication and that safety, it could have felt different. It could have made your story feel like there was this turning point into a dive. I love that your advice was getting a doula, because in your story, I really feel how your relationship and respect for her are a big component of your support and empowerment. So I just want to end by saying that birth is really about those emotions, not the modality or even the environment where we birth. If we can create those experiences for ourselves as much as possible, we don't always have the ability to do that. Lots of things have to come together, but if we can focus on, how do I make myself feel empowered, connected, sexy, seen, in control, informed during my birth, however I birth, then the likelihood of having a positive outcome emotionally is so much higher. And when we have a better emotional experience, we're more likely to be able to have a supported breastfeeding experience and also go into motherhood feeling centered, feeling capable of taking on this new role or another baby when we already have littles at home. So thank you so much for sharing your story. I feel really touched, and I can imagine that others are too.Molly: Thank you.Meagan: I do love that you pointed that out, Allison. The way we feel during our labor, the way we're treated, the way we're communicated to, it really impacts that next step going into that motherhood era. I think back on your story. I remove your doula from your story, and I remove your supportive provider. That birth very much could have unfolded very differently especially because it was a longer induction. Right? And so when you put that powerhouse team with that true love and support back into the story, it's like, well, I don't understand why it wouldn't unfold that way anyway.But really, if you look back without that, it's questionable sometimes. And so we talk about it, you guys. I think I will probably talk about it until I die. I mean, truly, I will probably not even be in this work when I'm 80 years old, but I will still be educating people on hiring a supportive team and provider because it really does impact. I had an interview the other day with a first-time mom and she was telling me who her provider was, and I very much remember this provider as a resident. And she was fine, but not great, right? She wasn't my favorite. I very much knew, oh, in the future I would not suggest her as a provider. And so as I was talking, and I didn't want to project my opinion on her, and I was talking to her, she said that her and her husband had actually been feeling a lot of pressure and that when she goes into her visit that she normally has a voice, but when she's there, her voice is muted. She feels like she can't say these questions and can't communicate. I think right there is that big red flag that if you cannot communicate with your provider in a prenatal appointment, then that is a big sign that you will not be able to communicate with your provider efficiently during labor, and they're not going to respect you. I love that your midwife came out of retirement and started working on the weekends because she probably loves this so much and that you got her. It worked out so, so well. But guys, again, find a good, supportive provider. If you're feeling like my interview did the other day, don't hesitate. Move, change, find that support because you want to be like Molly where you're in the situation and you feel that love and empowerment. And even though there was something that ,went awry and not according to plan, Molly felt that support. And so like Allison said, that could have been a very traumatic point in your labor where it wasn't ideal. You wouldn't do it again. You wouldn't choose it. You wouldn't suggest it. But even though it happened, and I don't want to downplay it like oh, least everyone's happy and healthy. I don't want to do that. But it happened, and because you had that support, your overall view is different. So great tips, Allison. Beautiful story, Molly. Again, go back and listen to Episode 84 for the rest of her stories. And once again, thank you for being with us.Molly: Thank you so much for having me.ClosingWould you like to be a guest on the podcast? Tell us about your experience at thevbaclink.com/share.

In deze aflevering spreken Anja en Jolanda met Jan-Kees Joosse de maker van de FC Leeuwinnen podcast. Hij richt zich daarin op alle ontwikkelingen van onze Oranje Leeuwinnen bij hun buitenlandse clubs. We spreken met hem over voetbal, de nieuwe bondscoach en over de prettige sfeer in het stadion bij het vrouwenvoetbal. Maar ook over onze Oranje Leeuwinnen die out en proud zijn én daarmee fungeren als rolmodel voor de maatschappij, de fans etc. Onze Leeuwinnen voetballen soms de sterren van de hemel, maar staan ook nog ergens voor, zeker als ze spelen met zo'n mooie regenboogband. Luister je mee naar de verhalen over Miedema, het EK in eigen land 2017, Merel van Dongen in Mexico etc?

"Je houdt het meest van iemand net na het overlijden" was een van de vele mooie uitspraken die Jolanda deed tijdens dit gesprek. Wat ze hiermee precies bedoelt en hoe dat je mensen echt een plezier doet door met ze te delen wat jij wilt tijdens je uitvaart, waren echte eye-openers voor mij.Luister naar de podcast en geniet van de bevlogenheid van Jolanda en haar liefde voor haar klanten.Wil jij nu ook je wensen voor je uitvaart vastleggen ? Neem contact op met Jolanda:https://hofstedeuitvaartzorg.nl/https://www.linkedin.com/in/jolanda-de-ruiter-428741148/https://www.instagram.com/hofstede_uitvaartzorg/

Deze keer spreken Anja en Jolanda in de Brabantse Potcast met Jacques Zonne. Begin jaren zeventig heeft hij twee jaar tegen zijn wil in een conversietherapie gezeten in gelovig Oost Nederland. Na zijn vlucht heeft hij zich inmiddels levenslang ingezet om dit bij wet verboden te krijgen. Want let op deze eerder genoemde 'homogenezing' is bij wet nog niet strafbaar in Nederland. Er zijn nu nog steeds 22 plaatsen aanwezig in ons land waar deze zogenaamde christelijke seminars, workshops en vakantiekampen worden gehouden om mensen van hun seksuele geaardheid of genderidentiteit te 'genezen'. En dat is dus helemaal toegestaan in ons land. Luister je mee naar dit verhaal?

7. marca l.1991 je Slovenija še kot del bivše države sprejela resolucijo o pomorski usmeritvi, ob mednarodnem dnevu žena, 8.marca l. 2021 pa je muzejska svetnica Pomorskega muzeja Sergej Mašera v Piranu, zgodovinarka dr. Nadja Terčon zaradi omejitev druženja ob epidemiji kovida po internetu predstavila monografijo z naslovom Sava in Jolanda. Gre za prvi šolani slovenski in hkrati takrat tudi jugoslovanski pomorščakinji, ki sta se kot prvi ženski l.1947 in leto kasneje vpisali v takrat ustanovljeno pomorsko šolo v coni B pod jugoslovansko vojaško upravo. Sava Kaluža (1929-2014) iz Postojne in Jolanda Gruden (1930-2014) iz Nabrežine pri Trstu sta v svoja življenja krepko vpletli vlogo morja. Avtorica je na temelju arhivskega gradiva napisala zgodbo o povojnem emancipacijskem projektu, ki povzema tudi izjemen razvoj slovenskega pomorstva in zapreke, ki so v tako tradicionalno moškem poklicu čakale dve pogumni mladi ženski. Nadja Terčon že nekaj desetletij raziskuje novejšo zgodovino pomorstva, l. 2015 je izšla njena obsežna monografija (416 str. in 150 fot.) "Usidrali smo se na morje" z zgodbo o vzpostavitvi slovenskega pomorstva v obdobju od 1945 do 1958. Hkrati pa to delo zapolnjuje premalo znane okoliščine vztrajnosti pri nastanku Luke Koper, in s sodobno istrsko zgodbo o tem predvsem državotvornem dejanju vzpostavljanja pomorske narave države tako dopolnjuje kulturno-zgodovinske prikaze bogate preteklosti slovenskih ribičev v Tržaškem zalivu kapitana iz Trsta Bruna Volpija Lisjaka.

"Honoring Legacy & Shaping the Future: Rep. Jolanda Jones on Sheila Jackson Lee & Kamala Harris' Presidential Bid"

E Gschicht us em Wilde Weschte von Matto Kämpf und Trampeltier of Love Wer das Hörspiel am Radio hören will: Samstag, 22.6.2024, 20.00 Uhr, Radio SRF 2 Kultur Anarchische Hörspiel-Posse in Berner Mundart. Mit schaurig-schräger Musik und mundgeblasenen Geräuschen von Trampeltier of Love. Und mit fauchenden Klapperschlangen, psychedelischen Kakteen, sprechenden Geiern, mordenden Menschen, einem frommen Sheriff und alkoholisierter Kleinkunst im Saloon. 1882 verlässt der kleine Köbi Bärtschi mit seiner verarmten Familie die Gemeinde Rüeggisberg. In der Hoffnung auf eine bessere Zukunft fahren sie mit dem Schiff von Hamburg nach New York. Die Grossmutter stirbt auf der Überfahrt, der Vater wird kurz nach der Ankunft erschossen und die Mutter gewaltsam bedrängt. Aus dem kleinen Köbi wird ein Rächer und Revolverheld wider Willen.

Jolanda läuft an einem kalten Berliner Wintertag zu einem Wohnhaus. In der Hand hält sie einen Flyer. Sie klopft an einige Türen, aber niemand öffnet. Plötzlich kommt ihr eine Frau entgegen. Sie wirkt traurig. Jolanda und die Unbekannte kommen ins Gespräch. Sie mögen sich. Fühlen sich vielleicht sogar zueinander hingezogen. Doch es gibt ein Problem: Jolanda ist Zeugin Jehovas. Ihre Familie und all ihre Freunde sind Mitglieder der Gemeinde, die von einigen auch als Sekte bezeichnet wird. Homosexualität gilt bei den Zeugen Jehovas als "Werk Satans". Es spricht also alles dagegen, diese unbekannte Frau wiederzusehen. Es sei denn, sie wagt den Ausstieg. Hört Jolanda auf Jehova oder auf ihr Herz?
