A Most-Listened-To 2025 Episode - If you've ever thought, “I don't think I've ever met a relaxed woman”, this episode will show you why and how to finally feel more at ease. To close the year, we're re-releasing one of our most listened-to episodes of 2025, and it's no wonder it struck such a chord. Speaking to many of you in our community, one theme comes up again and again: women feel permanently rushed, tense and overwhelmed. Relaxation doesn't just feel unlikely, it feels unimaginable. And most of us have no idea how to get from “constantly on edge” to “at ease in our own bodies.” In this grounding and beautifully honest episode, therapist and author Nicola Jane Hobbs explores what it really means to become a “relaxed woman” not as a luxury, but as a way of living that's rooted in nervous system safety, self-permission and gentleness. Nicola shares why relaxation feels so rare, how guilt gets woven into rest, and what begins to change when you start feeling safe in your own skin. She also opens up about her first year of motherhood, the tenderness, the disorientation, the identity shift and how it transformed everything she thought she knew about rest. In this conversation, you'll learn: Why your nervous system resists slowing down and how to help it feel safe How guilt became tied to rest and why guilt can be a sign you're growing Tiny, realistic ways to bring rest into your day without more time or childcare Why can't we become relaxed women alone, and how to build the support you need Remember to subscribe to Motherkind — it helps more mothers find the show and keeps our community growing.

Client Reviews… ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐  Jenny's teachings have produced results reconnecting me with my estranged daughter I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible support and guidance received in the most tragic time of my life from coach Jenny Good. Her faith, compassion, understanding, dedication and display of radical love has truly been life-changing for me. I was so overwhelmed with feelings of confusion, guilt, and sadness. I felt lost and didn't know how to navigate through the emotional turmoil I was experiencing. However, from the very first call, Jenny created a safe and non-judgmental space for me to share my details. Her ability to listen attentively and empathize while helping me understand a different way of thinking is truly remarkable. She understood my feelings and offered tools each session in ways I have not experienced even from therapy. I am forever thankful for the medicine she has poured into me to be the very best version of myself! This has rippled into all areas of life for me. Jenny's teachings have produced results reconnecting me with my estranged daughter! Thank you for being the vessel of unwavering faith & love that so many of us could benefit from, estranged or not. A true Godsend.  - Melinda Wyman . ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I am living a truly happy life, and I reconciled with my son  Having a coach and mentor who is rooted in Christ is very important. I've experienced so much inner healing with Jenny as my Coach. I am living a truly happy life, and I reconciled with my son! I feel empowered to continue stepping into my full power as a mother and to live a life where my children matter, but they don't determine my worth. I am me again. - Carol Adams

Mothers earn 15% less per child under 5. They're 6x less likely to be recommended for hire. And 8.2x less likely to be promoted.This isn't about capability—it's about the "maternal wall" bias that assumes mothers can't possibly be both good mothers and good employees.What if there was a way to bypass this penalty entirely—to keep your demanding career, maintain your promotion trajectory, and still be present for your kids?In this episode, I'm exposing why the motherhood penalty persists despite decades of progress—and sharing my personal story of how job sharing let me avoid it completely.In episode 56:The real cost: $300,000+ in lifetime earnings lostWhy the penalty hits hardest during crucial early career yearsThe "ideal worker" model that was never built for mothers

If you've ever wished you had a therapist in your back pocket, Dial Emma is here to help.We're kicking off the festive season with a dilemma that sheds some light on the one family dynamic that doesn't always get the airtime: the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship. To help me explore this topic in more depth, I'm joined by Dr. Tracy Dalgleish, a clinical psychologist and relationship expert who has also written a book, You, Your Husband & His Mother.In this week's dilemma, our listener shares her struggle with feeling like a guest in her own Christmas celebrations due to her mother-in-law's controlling nature, and her husband's tendency to revert back into childhood obedience and avoid 'causing drama' at all costs. We discuss the emotional challenges of navigating difficult family dynamics, particularly at this time of year, the importance of setting boundaries and how (and when!) to approach those conversations, and Tracy's 'Vault Method', which helps couples to communicate their values and needs effectively.

The season of Advent begins with a deep dive into the messy and vital story of Tamar from Genesis 38. This sermon challenges our idealized view of Christmas, showing us that the lineage of Christ was anything but spotless. Listen as we trace the fulfillment of God's covenant promise through Judah's lineage and discover the glorious truth: God's stubborn grace prevails over human sin and brokenness. The persistence of Tamar's faith led to her being declared righteous, illustrating the profound reality that Jesus came into the dirt of our world to grant us His perfect purity.

Send us a textThe modern woman is expected to build a thriving career, raise a family, maintain a household, and achieve financial success—all at the same time. But is this empowering or exhausting? Is society better off when women take on multiple roles, or are we setting them up for burnout?In this episode, we tackle one of the most controversial debates of our time: Can women truly have it all, or is that a myth being sold to an entire generation?  Our guest for this episode is Bana Kadi.We explore the mental health costs, the impact on children and families, the economic benefits, and the ideological clash between traditional values and modern expectations. This isn't about what women should do—it's about what's actually working and what's breaking down.     WHAT WE COVER:• The reality of balancing career ambitions with motherhood in 2025 • Mental health data on women managing multiple demanding roles • How children are affected when mothers pursue high-level careers • The economic argument: Does society benefit from women in the workforce? • Partner participation: Are men stepping up or are women still doing it alone? • The "having it all" myth: Empowerment or impossible standard? • Traditional vs progressive perspectives backed by evidence • What systemic changes would actually help women succeed in multiple roles • Real advice for young women navigating career and family decisions  This conversation will challenge your assumptions regardless of where you stand. We're not here to tell women what to do—we're here to examine what's actually happening and whether it's sustainable.     Subscribe to OZ Media for debates and discussions on the issues that matter.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they enjoy watching social media accounts purporting to be Americans get exposed for being based overseas. They also respond to Rep. Eric Swalwell claiming that people vote by phone all over the country and shake their heads at still more insanity from Tennessee Dem Aftyn Behn.First, they applaud Elon Musk for the new feature revealing where X accounts are based. It's exposed some prominent MAGA accounts with no personal names to be based in foreign countries. Also, people claiming to be reporters based in Gaza were discovered to be in several different countries. Jim and Greg offer some helpful tips to avoid getting lured in by these sorts of accounts.Next, they slam Rep. Swalwell, who is now running for Governor of California. In an interview on CNN, Swalwell said he wants Californians to be able to vote through their phones because it's already happening in many places across the country. No, it's not. Jim and Greg also do a quick review of the Democrats in the governor's race and warn Californians that whomever emerges from the primary will be bad news for the state.Finally, they serve another martini on Aftyn Behn, the Democrat running in a special congressional election in Tennessee next week. In addition to comments that she hates Nashville (which is in the congressional district) and country music, she would not walk back anti-police comments from 2020. Now, there is audio of Behn saying she doesn't want children, she wants power, while explaining why she believes women should not have children. Oh, and there's yet another example of her screaming while protesting and being dragged away.Please visit our great sponsors:Reach out.

Susan Hawthorne has been reading about prehistory for nearly 50 years.She even enrolled in a Philosophy PHD entitled ‘Belief Systems in the AncientWorld' in 1979. One year in it became impossible because all the philosopherswanted her to read was postmodernism. She threw in the PhD and began studyingancient languages, Ancient Greek, Sanskrit and some Latin. Instead of her PhD,she wrote a novel, The Falling Woman (1992) which includes some mythicmaterial. Her main work in the mythic area is poetry. In The ButterflyEffect (2005) she unpacks lesbian language and metaphor; in Cow(2011) she follows a cow called Queenie from her invention of the universe tothe present; in Lupa and Lamb (2014) she pulls apart the history ofRome, its wolves and lambs and lost texts found in an ancient museum; in TheSacking of the Muses (2019) she follows myths from India and Greece,including several translations. Poetry allows for experimentation and formaking things up in order to show a different way of seeing the world. She iscurrently working on a book, Ulyssea in which she imagines alesbian-centric Amazon world.

Fears of the undead rising from their graves to cause trouble have recurred in societies around the globe throughout the centuries.

Speaking to Ellie Cawthorne, Professor John Blair shares stories of vampire 'epidemics' throughout history from his new book Killing the Dead.

What if diapers could actually heal the earth instead of harm it? Today's conversation is one of the most mind-expanding interviews we've ever had on the Millionaire Mother Podcast. I'm sitting down with the legendary disruptor, visionary founder, bestselling author, and mama, Miki Agrawal. If you don't already know Miki, she's the creative force behind TUSHY, THINX, and WILD-companies that have generated over half a billion dollars in revenue (yes… billion with a B). Her work has redefined entire industries by fusing innovation, nature, creative marketing, and taboo-shattering conversations. And now? She's building what I believe is her most world-changing venture yet: HIRO Technologies, a diaper company leveraging plastic-eating fungi to solve the global plastic crisis. Tune in to hear: How being raised by incredibly creative immigrant parents shaped Miki's worldview The 3-part thesis she uses to build 9-figure disruptive brands Why accessible language + artful design turn "taboo topics" into cultural movements The wild download that sparked HIRO Diapers (hint: her 2-year-old son delivered the message) How nature, humanity, and innovation create the future of consumer products The truth about disposable diaper waste and why HIRO is a planetary game-changer How to be an eco-conscious parent without giving up convenience The importance of community, creativity, and thinking days for visionary founders Why mothers are uniquely wired to lead the next era of change   Use code MILLIONAIRE for $10 off your HIRO subscription   Connect with Miki and Hiro: https://www.hirodiapers.com https://www.hellotushy.com/products/tushy-aura-luxury-bidet-seat https://www.mikiagrawal.com/newparadigm

So the 2025 racing is done and dusted and one of the more unusual seasons in GP history is now consigned to the history books. It was undoubtedly the year of Marc Marquez (sorry Borrie) but there are more questions than answers heading into 2026 and the lads break down not only what has been but what might be to come next year. That's the serious stuff (or as close as it gets around these parts) but there's also the usual favourites like Borrie's Poem, The Grid Girl Critique, What Should Simon Do and Observations.

We're the most educated generation of women in history. We're choosing ourselves in ways our mothers couldn't. And we're being punished for it. If you're feeling anxious, confused, or like you're being pushed back into a box you fought to get out of, you're not imagining it. There's a pattern. A system. And once you can see it, you can navigate it differently. Anna Malaika Tubbs (PhD, 2x NYT bestselling author of The Three Mothers and Erased) breaks down what we're actually up against and, more importantly, how to survive it while choosing yourself anyway. This is about recognition, strategy, and hope despite knowing the cost.

Some fluctuations in blood pressure during preganncy are expected, but hypertensive disorders are one of the leading causes of maternal and perinatal mortality worldwide. This includes chronic or gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, HELLP, and eclampsia. High blood pressure during pregnancy can place significant stress on your heart and kidneys leading to heart and kidney disease and stroke. It also increases the risk of preterm birth, placental abruption, and cesarean. Plus, it can reduce blood flow to the placenta and limit the oxygen and nutrients available to your baby. Most pregnancy-related conditions resolve after birth, but the risk from hypertensive disorders does not end there. Mothers can develop dangerous symptoms in the days and weeks after birth, even if their blood pressure was normal throughout pregnancy. Recognizing warning signs and seeking medical attention right away can be life-saving.

Should mothers work outside the home? If you want an answer more solid than groundless internet opinion or conveniently vague appeals to personal discernment, this is the podcast for you. Margaret McCarthy joins the Catholic Culture Podcast to discuss her essay on why anti-sex-discrimination law's treatment of the sexes as abstract interchangeable units hurts real women, real men, and real children (and real workplaces!). Then we dive into the neglected teachings of John Paul II and earlier popes on the objectively different relationships that men and women have to the home and to work outside the home. Margaret Harper McCarthy is associate professor of theological anthropology at the Pontifical John Paul II Institute for Studies on Marriage & Family, at the Catholic University of America. She is the editor of Humanum: Issues in Family, Culture, and Science, serves on the editorial board of the English edition of Communio: International Catholic Review, is a member of the Academy of Catholic Theology, and is a consultant to the USCCB's Committee on Doctrine. 00:00 Introduction 2:30 Anti-discrimination law discriminates against real women, children, men, and workplaces 34:30 Sex difference: division of labor and customs 1:03:43 Catholic teaching on working mothers 1:33:08 Contraception and public life vs. the real feminine genius Links  Margaret H.

More than one in five babies are now born by C-section, and the numbers are expected to reach nearly one-third of all births by 2030, despite many cases lacking clear medical necessity Researchers from Stanford University found that C-section mothers were far more likely to experience severe postpartum pain and disrupted sleep, with over two-thirds reporting discomfort that interfered with rest and recovery Nationwide data showed that women who delivered by C-section were 16% more likely to develop new sleep disorders within a year after birth, including insomnia, sleep deprivation, and sleep apnea C-sections carry higher risks of infection, hemorrhage, blood clots, and complications in future pregnancies, while babies born this way face increased chances of respiratory distress, allergies, and autism Many cesarean deliveries can be avoided with the right preparation. Choosing a provider who supports natural birth, staying physically active, managing stress, and maintaining a healthy weight all lowers your risk
