A shocking report into the biggest ever maternity care scandal in the NHS has revealed more than 500 mothers and babies died or were harmed as a result of inadequate care in Nottingham. The review, led by the senior midwife Donna Ockenden, found there had been a dismissive attitude to women's concerns, failures in maternity care, staff shortages, a toxic culture and racism at Nottingham University hospitals NHS trust.

Mary and Nichole join Caitlin to cover 2011's We Need to Talk About Kevin, a monstrous-motherhood modern classic. We discuss themes around memory, reluctant motherhood, "bad seed" children, and what it means to love (and hate) a monster, especially when that monster is your child. We carry a lot of empathy for Eva, which seems to be an unpopular take. Where do you land? Tangents include: psychopathy, podcast catalogs, favorite museums, bows and arrows instead of guns, a Kevin FMK, John C. Reilly, Tilda Swinton, pro-choice movies, pet peeves, and evil kids. Also forgive my temporary misgendering of Ezra Miller, who uses they/them pronouns.

Maternal influence significantly shapes body image and eating habits. Emotional eating is intertwined with self-perception and family dynamics. Breaking negative cycles can lead to healthier family relationships. Empowerment comes from recognizing the ability to change one's story. Weight loss is less about the numbers and more about emotional health. Self-compassion and self-trust are essential for long-term change. Mothers have the most significant influence on their daughters' body image. The way we eat reflects our beliefs about ourselves and our worth. Transformation requires commitment and support from others. Healing wounds requires self-reliance and looking inward. Liberation comes from stopping the blame game. Maternal influence significantly shapes a daughter's body image. Self-compassion is crucial for mental health and healing. Radical responsibility is essential for personal growth. The relationship with one's body affects future generations. Negative self-talk can perpetuate cycles of trauma. Women often criticize each other, reflecting their own insecurities. Changing beliefs is key to transforming one's life.

Former Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham, fresh off a resounding win in a crucial parliamentary election, seems poised to succeed Starmer. But as the UK faces stagnant wages, high energy bills, and serious questions over the state of its armed forces, can Burnham hope to turn it all around? New Stateman Editor in Chief Tom McTague joins the show from London to discuss.   Also on today's show: Josh Fox, Director, "The Welcome Table"; Reshma Saujani, Subject and Executive Producer, "No Country for Mothers"; French artist JR    Learn more about your ad choices.

In 1973, there was huge cultural event called, "The Battle of the Sexes." It was a tennis match between 55-year-old, Bobby Riggs, a former Wimbledon and U.S. champion, and 29-year-old, Billy Jean King, who had won multiple Grand Slam championships.   Their match was in response to the woman's liberation movement and King's push for equal pay and respect for women's sports. Riggs said even though he was old and "washed," he could still beat King in her prime. He was wrong. King beat him in straight sets.   Well, that "battle" pales in comparison to the battle of the sexes being played out in today's culture. Men and women, especially in the dating world, are at each other's throats.   So, in this 3-part series of podcasts, Roy Biancalana, our host, tries to resolve the conflict by discussing the real meaning of masculine and feminine.   In this final episode of the series, we explore: ·      Divas, damsels, and Deceivers, and other false versions of the feminine; ·      Mothers, mavens, and mystics, and other true versions of the feminine; ·      The difference between nannies, nurturers and nice girls; ·      How to embody the divine feminine in your special way.   These and other important issues are explored in this episode, so don't miss it!   Additional Resources Roy may have mentioned on the show:   Roy's Website: https://coachingwithroy.com   Roy's Relationship Fitness Self-Assessment Test: https://coachingwithroy.com/the-relationship-fitness-self-test/   Roy's 4 Books: ·      Quantum Questions: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F4RFZBS3/ ·      Relationship Bootcamp: https://amzn.to/360UsMR ·      Attracting Lasting Love: http://amzn.to/1UnYeYh ·      A Drink with Legs: https://amzn.to/31UBl3K     Roy's Group Coaching Program: https://coachingwithroy.com/group-coaching/   Roy's Complimentary 45-min.

Today's episode encompasses everything that myself and my guest are- Mothers and Mediums! Alyssa and I talk about: -How she knew she had intuitive abilities growing up -How her clair sets speak differently to her depending on the modality she is practicing- Tarot, mediumship or aura readings-Why each of her pregnancies affected her intuitive abilities differently -If she will be teaching her children about the healing arts or not-Why nervous system awareness is so important in motherhood and mediumship-Aura color advice she has for newly postpartum moms and moms who are newly empty nestersIt was such a joy to connect with Alyssa in this way!  If you enjoyed this podcast episode, please pass it along to a friend. With magic and dance,Julie & Alyssa xo

We talk with award-winning author Tish Harrison Warren about how to navigate burnout and weariness. Two-thirds of Americans are dissatisfied with their work, and a sense of languishing is widespread. Many of us feel overwhelmed, spiritually dry, and filled with doubts… about our faith and about our place in this world.In her new book, What Grows in Weary Lands: On Christian Resilience (Convergent/Random House, 2026) Tish Warren draws from both her own season of exhaustion and the rich well of Christian tradition — particularly that of the earliest Christian monks — to discover the habits and mindsets that anchor us, give us resilience, and offer us hope.We discuss:* Tish was very busy after becoming a best-selling author. She was writing for the New York Times and Christianity Today as well as her next book. But she came to a place of burnout, when she became spiritually dry. She stopped all that writing and went off social media in order to explore how to get through these difficult times. She tells us what she learned in that time.* The things that make us weary are usually the good things in life, what Thomas Aquinas called “arduous goods.”* When we experience dryness and weariness, we choose to escape that through scrolling or binge-watching. But the Desert Fathers and Mothers chose to live in the deserts of Egypt, Palestine, and Syria. We can learn a lot from them as they struggle with the “dark night of the soul,” to find a deeper, more satisfying faith in God.

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

What happens when a doctor becomes the patient?This week, Zoe sits down with GP, broadcaster and author Dr Punam Krishan for a powerful conversation about motherhood, health and what happens when we put ourselves last.Following her recent breast cancer diagnosis, Punam reflects on recovery, the traumatic birth of her first child, severe postnatal depression, and the moment she realised that while everyone was focused on the baby, nobody was asking how she was.Together, Zoe and Punam explore the "maternal health penalty" - why so many mothers normalise exhaustion, pain and overwhelm - and what needs to change so mothers receive the care and support they deserve.

What happens when the pressures of work intensify AND parenting intensifies at the same time? Senior-level mothers are caught in a two-way trap—and many are quietly burning out, believing it's a personal failure rather than a systemic one.In this episode, I talk with Shalene Gupta, staff editor at Fast Company, about her groundbreaking investigation into how senior-level women are coping with the impossible. After putting out a call on LinkedIn, Shalene received over 100 responses—48,000 words' worth—revealing both the ingenuity and the despair of working mothers trying to have it all.Discover the creative solutions that are actually working: job-sharing arrangements that have lasted 13 years, radical transparency about boundaries that builds trust, and companies (like Cakes) that are redesigning the workplace from the ground up. But also understand why these individual hacks aren't enough—and why the real answer requires systemic change.If you're a working parent, an ambitious woman in corporate America, or someone who wants to understand what's really happening behind closed doors, this is a conversation you need to hear. Because as Shalene says: "It's not you. The system is broken. And it can be redesigned."Featuring:Fast Company article: Corporate America is Crushing Senior-Level Mothers.

Daniel Sloss rolls into Steph Infection still recovering from American bar pours, turns out 5 gin and tonics in the US is not the same as 5 gin and tonics in Scotland, and he has learned this the hard way. Steph and Daniel bond hard over Highland dancing (for real), Scottish country dancing as a pickup culture, having a best bitch at your wedding, and why the Edinburgh Fringe would absolutely lose its mind if Steph showed up. Then it gets real as Daniel walks through both of his kids' births in full detail, including his wife losing 1.5 liters of blood, a stuck placenta, an hour and a half alone with a newborn not knowing if his wife was alive, and his wife shockingly coming back into the room like "let's have two more."

What if the reason you're not sticking to the healthy habits you know would help isn't that you're lazy, undisciplined or lacking willpower? In this episode, I'm diving into the invisible mental load so many women carry: the remembering, planning, organising, anticipating and emotional holding that often goes completely unaccounted for. We'll look at why this cognitive load can affect your energy, hormones, gut health, nervous system, brain health and ability to create sustainable habits in midlife. Because sometimes the issue isn't that you need to try harder. It's that your brain is already carrying far too much.   Resources mentioned Want the mental load spreadsheet?

David and Sissy explore the powerful relationship between moms and sons, emphasizing that moms are often a boy's emotional home base and play a key role in shaping his confidence, emotional health, and future relationships. They discuss how boys often express their biggest emotions where they feel safest and encourage moms to respond with warmth, steadiness, and clear boundaries. The conversation also highlights the importance of helping boys build responsibility, self-regulation, and respect while avoiding unhealthy patterns of over-accommodation.

This is a reading for meditation of selected teachings/sayings of the Desert Mothers, taken from 'Apophthegmata Patrum' (Sayings of the Desert Fathers & Mothers) translated by Benedicta Ward; and Philokia: compiled in the eighteenth century by Macarius of Corinth (1731-1805). The teachings spoken here are from the Mothers - Amma Theodora, Amma Syncletica and Amma Sarah.The Desert Mothers lived primarily in the fourth and fifth centuries, withdrawing to the arid regions of the eastern Mediterranean at a time when Christianity had become legally protected and increasingly institutionalized. Like their male counterparts, they sought the desert as a place of stripping away — a landscape where distractions fell silent and the soul was exposed before God.Some lived in loose monastic communities; others inhabited abandoned tombs, caves, or simple mud-brick cells. Their days were shaped by prayer, fasting, manual labor, and long periods of silence. Water was scarce, food minimal, and illness common. The desert was not romantic — it was a place of bodily weakness and spiritual testing.They were called ammas, meaning “mothers,” a title that conveyed both intimacy and authority. This was not sentimental language. To be an amma was to be recognized as someone whose life had been tested and whose counsel could be trusted.

This is part 1 of 3 mini series with Premier OBGYN - In this enlightening conversation with Alethia Wood and Dr. Erin Buggy, Dr. Michael Hervey discusses the critical intersection of maternal wellness and mental health. He shares insights from his extensive experience in women's healthcare, emphasizing the importance of integrating mental health support into maternal care. The discussion also highlights the significance of informed consent, autonomy in childbirth, and the vital role of trust in the provider-patient relationship. Dr. Hervey's new book, 'Her Body, Her Baby,' aims to empower mothers by sharing real stories of autonomy in childbirth, advocating for a healthcare system that respects women's choices and promotes healing.Visit Dr. Hervey's website here for more information.

Many mothers go to the doctor because they feel exhausted, overwhelmed, and they aren't sleeping - and leave with a depression diagnosis and a prescription. The message is: your brain isn't working right, and medication will help you cope. But what if the problem isn't your brain at all? In this episode, I talk with journalist Bob Whitaker, who has spent decades investigating psychiatric treatment in the U.S. We look at how women's distress has been medicalized instead of taken seriously as a response to impossible circumstances. We look at how antidepressants work, which is quite different from what the drug companies have been telling us for years.  He also shares the results of a New Zealand study on postpartum depression that should have changed how we support new mothers - but didn't. Questions this episode will answer Is it burnout or depression? Burnout and depression share a lot of the same symptoms - exhaustion, low mood, difficulty functioning - but they have different roots. Burnout is a response to sustained, unmanageable circumstances. Depression, as it's currently diagnosed and treated, is framed as a brain malfunction. This episode looks at why this difference matters, and why so many mothers get a depression diagnosis when they're experiencing burnout. Why are mothers more likely to be diagnosed with depression? Mothers in the US are frequently carrying an unequal share of household work, childcare, and mental load - often while also working full time - with little support. When that situation becomes unsustainable, the distress it causes is then treated as an individual brain problem rather than a response to a broken system. What prevents postpartum depression? A study out of New Zealand found that consistent, practical support - help with the actual work of running a household - significantly reduced postpartum depression. But even though the findings were significant, more support has not become the standard of care. Should I take antidepressants? Antidepressants may reduce symptoms for some people, but research shows they are far less effective than we've been told - and for mothers whose distress is rooted in unsustainable circumstances, medication addresses the symptom rather than the source. If antidepressants are helping you, that's OK (and do keep taking them!). But antidepressants should be used to help create space for other interventions to work, rather than used long-term. How does society affect women's mental health? When we treat women's distress as a potentially life-long medical problem rather than a signal about unsustainable circumstances, we direct attention away from the structural changes that would actually help. This episode traces how that pattern developed - and what a different approach might look like. What you'll learn in this episode Why the mental load of motherhood is a structural problem, not a brain problem that medication should fixHow psychiatry functions as social control when it diagnoses individuals instead of the broken systems they're living inWhat the New Zealand postpartum depression study found - and why its results were largely ignoredHow drug advertising has shaped what we believe about women's distress - from Valium in the 1960s to antidepressants todayHow to shift from asking "what's wrong with my brain" to "what would actually need to change in my situation" If you want to learn more about Bob's work and the research on depression and antidepressants, go to https://madinamerica.com/. Want to go deeper? The full one-hour conversation with Bob is available to Parenting Membership members. In it, Bob traces exactly how depression came to be understood as a chemical imbalance - not because research proved it, but because psychiatry in the U.S. wanted to rebrand itself as a legitimate medical discipline in the 1980s.  He walks us through how pharmaceutical companies funneled money to academic psychiatrists to become "thought leaders," how Prozac was marketed as making people "feel better than well," and how the industry captured the entire profession so thoroughly that by 1998, the New England Journal of Medicine couldn't find a single academic expert on depression in the US who wasn't taking money from pharmaceutical companies. We went deep on the STAR*D trial - the largest antidepressant study ever conducted. The public was told 70% of patients got better. The actual stay-well rate at one year, once a researcher used a Freedom of Information request to get the raw data: 3%. Bob walks through exactly how that number was inflated - the protocol violations, the patients who were already in remission when they enrolled, the switched measurement scales - and why he calls it a straight-out public betrayal.

It focuses on the problems in the head of the individual, not in the social way we arrange our society. 06:25 From hysteria and electroshock therapy (mostly given to women) in the 1800s, to marketing benzodiazepines to wives in the 1960s, the pattern of pathologizing women's distress has been consistent. 08:32 When benzodiazepines were recognized as addictive in the late 1970s, psychiatry reframed anxiety as a type of depression and switched women to antidepressants, another numbing drug that keeps women quiet and functioning in an impossible situation. 13:31 In the New Zealand study, it says that when women got daily help with housework for six months, postpartum depression was prevented. Yet this support became standard care nowhere, because the system still believes the problem is in people's brains, not in their circumstances. 14:17 Wrapping up today's topic

Geoff continues talking with regular guest David Clayton about how the Desert Fathers and Mothers understood sin as discorder (of all kinds) and how asceticism was a path toward freedom to love God and others. They discuss sin not merely as rule-breaking but as patterns that impair clear seeing, free choosing, and loving well. Asceticism is presented as training that frees the heart by reshaping habits, while emphasizing grace, mercy, and the hope to “begin again” each day. They particularly focus on the concept of "watchfulness" and the neuroscience of "paying attention." Dive deeper in our new book, Landscapes of the Soul: How the Science and Spirituality of Attachment Can Move You into Confident Faith, Courage, and Connection, and learn about our trainings and other resources at embodiedfaith.life.Stay Connected: Check out our Attaching to God 6-Week Learning Cohort.Join the Embodied Faith community to stay connected and get posts, episodes, & resources.Support the podcast with a one-time or regular gift (to keep this ad-free without breaking the Holsclaw's bank).

Too many Christians, Jerry Sittser says, sit at a banquet table and eat only one food. In this episode, host Tressa Spingler talks with theologian, historian, and author Dr. Jerry Sittser — professor emeritus of theology at Whitworth University — about the newly revised edition of his book Water from a Deep Well and the spiritual inheritance many believers overlook.Drawing on the monks' rhythm of life, the Desert Fathers and Mothers, the mystics, and the great tradition of historic orthodoxy, Sittser invites listeners to rediscover something ancient rather than chase something new. He reflects on inhabiting time rather than spending it, beginning the week with rest, the practice of silence (“get up to slow down”), and what the early church can still teach a hurried, distracted age.The conversation turns honest and personal as Sittser — who lost his wife and a daughter in an automobile accident — describes suffering not as something to overcome or avoid but as something to step into and find God within. It's an invitation to live in the tension of beauty and sorrow, and to take the small first steps toward a deeper, well-rooted faith.YOU WILL LEARNWhy so many Christians “eat only one food” — and what the full diet of historic Christianity offersHow a January course at a snowed-in mountain camp became the seed of Water from a Deep WellThe monks' gift of rhythm: inhabiting time instead of consuming it, and beginning the week with restThe Desert Fathers and Mothers — stranger, funnier, and wiser than they first appearUnion of relationship vs. union of absorption: a healthier way to read the mysticsSuffering as an inevitable part of discipleship — and the soul's capacity to hold beauty and sorrow at onceWhere to begin when you feel spiritually dry: small, meaningful, deep first stepsGUEST BIODr. Jerry Sittser is professor emeritus of theology and a senior fellow at Whitworth University in Spokane, Washington, specializing in the history of Christianity, Christian spirituality, and religion in American public life.

A @Christadelphians Video: # YouTube Video Description**One In Christ: Complimentary Roles #4 'Mothers of Millions' with Bible Student Mark O'Grady**What does Scripture truly say about the role of mothers? In this thought-provoking and deeply insightful exposition, we explore one of the most beautiful and often misunderstood themes in the Bible—motherhood as God intended it.Join us as we journey from Genesis to the Gospels, uncovering the wonderful truth that motherhood is not a second-rate role but a divine calling central to God's purpose for humanity. This outstanding presentation will challenge worldly perspectives and inspire you to esteem the faithful labour of mothers who build their houses brick by brick.**What you'll discover:**- The true meaning of 1 Timothy 2:15 and why it's a blessing, not a burden- How Eve's name "Life" points to redemption- The powerful imagery of the wise woman building her house (Proverbs 14:1)- Why fathers must honour and support the mother's God-given authority- The profound link between childbirth pains and the hope of resurrectionThis revealing study shows how the physical role of motherhood becomes a glorious metaphor for our shared destiny in Christ—suffering giving way to eternal joy.##

When was the last time you were completely alone - with nobody touching you, talking to you or needing something from you?In this episode, Zoe explores why so many mothers crave alone time and why that need isn't selfish - it's essential. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, overstimulated, touched out, exhausted or guilty for wanting space from your children, this episode will help you understand what's really happening in your mind and body.Zoe unpacks the psychology of modern motherhood, the invisible mental load, emotional labour and the impact they have on a mother's nervous system. She explores why highly sensitive mothers and introverted mothers often experience overwhelm more intensely, how overstimulation can lead to burnout, resentment and mum rage, and why rest is not a luxury but a necessity.You'll learn why guilt so often accompanies the need for space, how cultural expectations of motherhood keep women trapped in cycles of self-sacrifice, and how protecting even small moments of solitude can help you become a calmer, more present and more connected parent.If you've ever wondered why you feel constantly needed, emotionally drained or like you've lost yourself in motherhood, this episode is for you.

Research shows that queer and trans parents face significantly higher rates of perinatal depression and anxiety, but affirming and community-centered support can make a big difference. In this episode, clinical psychologist and researcher Leiszle Lapping-Carr joins Dr. Rebecca Dekker to talk about the unique mental health challenges 2SLGBTQ+ parents may experience during pregnancy and postpartum and what providers, birth workers, and communities can do to create safer, more supportive care. Dr. Lapping-Carr shares how stigma, discrimination, isolation, and lack of affirming healthcare spaces can affect mental health outcomes for queer and trans parents. She also explains how evidence-based approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy can be adapted to better support 2SLGBTQ+ families, especially when distress is rooted in experiences of discrimination and loss of safety. Learn how protective factors that support mental health, chosen family and community, and inclusive healthcare providers can make perinatal spaces more affirming for all parents.   (01:43) Dr. Leiszle Lapping-Carr's background and research journey (04:31) Perinatal depression rates among queer and trans parents (07:19) Minority stress, discrimination, and mental health risks (11:08) Protective factors and the importance of community support (12:52) What is the Mothers and Babies intervention?

In today's episode, we take on a question many women think about but don't always say out loud: should your mother be at your birth?We share listener voicemails from women who made very different choices. Some had their mothers in the room, some kept them close by but not present for the birth, and others chose not to include them at all.It's a candid, interesting conversation that gets into what shapes that decision and why it can feel more complicated than you might expect, even in close, supportive relationships.**********Send us Fan Mail Cozyearth: Use code DTB for 20% offNeeded

Best selling author Anna Malaika Tubbs stops by to tell us all about her book, Erased: What American Patriarchy Has Hidden from Us and helps us hone in on real time examples of our Patriarchy is being weaponized today. Anna unpacks how the United States has constructed a unique - and often invisible - gendered hierarchy, one that is inextricably linked to whiteness and a deeply flawed binary system. From the founding fathers to the current Supreme Court, from the erasure of women in the Constitution to the ongoing fight for the Equal Rights Amendment, Dr. Tubbs reveals the mechanisms that have kept women's contributions hidden and their voices suppressed. Anna Malaika Tubbs is a scholar, advocate, and bestselling author (The Three Mothers: How the Mothers of Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, and James Baldwin Shaped a Nation) whose work brings a fresh, urgent perspective on American history and its gendered systems. With a Ph.D. in Sociology and a Masters in Multidisciplinary Gender Studies from the University of Cambridge and a Bachelors in Medical Anthropology from Stanford University, Anna translates her academic knowledge into clear and engaging stories. Her articles have been published by TIME Magazine, New York Magazine, CNN, Motherly, The Huffington Post, For Harriet, The Guardian, Darling Magazine, and Blavity. Anna's storytelling also takes form in her talks, including her TED Talk that has been viewed 2 million times, as well as the scripted and unscripted screen projects she has in development. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband, former Mayor of Stockton, CA Michael Tubbs  and their three young children.
