Here's Episode 55 of Michigan's Premier Progressive Podcast! Paid Family and Medical Leave is one of the important policies Michigan Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer mentioned in her "What's Next" speech last month. If Michigan's Democratic majority in the legislature can pass State Sen. Erika Geiss's paid family and medical leave bills, Michigan would join 11 other states which have already passed similar laws. Passing these bills would guarantee 15 weeks paid leave for ALL workers, and help guarantee that workers won't have to choose caring for a loved one or having to work. And since the United States remains the only developed nation not to guarantee some form of paid family and medical leave, or paid sick leave, it's up to the states to get something done. Making paid family and medical leave a reality is a priority for the nonprofit organization Mothering Justice from Detroit. National Executive Director, and Founder, Danielle Atkinson, joins me to talk about why this legislation is of the utmost importance for Michigan's marginalized citizens, and for all families. We also discuss the frustration with the recent jump in child poverty after Republicans, and a few Democrats in D.C., refused to expand the highly successful Child Tax Credit. And in my Last Call, I highlight how MAGA Republicans are pawns for the corporate class as they refuse to support the UAW strike against the Big Three Detroit Automakers.

"I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you. I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh." Ezekial 36: 26You guys! I am so excited to kick off our series on Mothering with a RED Heart.  This has been a topic that has been in the depths of my soul for some time. What does it mean to mother with a RED Heart? Today we will discuss the meaning of pouring out our lives for our children for the love of Christ like the martyrs who gave their lives in death for their faith.  We need to remain steadfast in dying to ourselves. In addition, this is a call to let God transform the hardened places of our hearts into fleshy and vulnerable places of love. One of the most beautiful things we can do is to let our hearts be fleshy as God commands so that it has the capacity to be touched and loved, so we are freely able to trust, love, and comfort others - specifically our own children. In the following weeks, we will dive into this idea of mothering with a RED heart in greater detail as we explore the following: R - receiveE - embraceD- discipleIf this episode blessed you, I would be so honored if you shared it with a friend, rated it, or left us a review!

In last week's episode, we revealed the news of our big life transition as a family. Though this particular move was a big one for us, you've likely faced life transitions of all sizes. The end of summer and the beginning of school. Job loss. A new child. The death of a parent or grandparent. No matter how big or small, all transitions feel important. That's why so many of us want to know that we're hearing from God as we discern what He's doing and pray through next steps and the days ahead. In this episode, we share a behind-the-scenes look at our recent decision-making process and how we discern when God just might be up to something.

Hello beautiful ones!  I am so excited to share this month's interview with Heng Ou and Marisa Belger with you. They are the authors of The First Forty Days:  The Essential Art of Nourishing the New Mother, which was a groundbreaking book for so many new mothers and postpartum professionals.  To say I was delighted to be able to connect with these two amazing women is the understatement of the year!  Especially as we approach the launch of the 2023 Season of MotherSHIFT and The Village, this conversation is so rich and filled with wisdom for mamas and their support people alike.   Here's some of what Heng, Marisa and I talk about in this episode: > What is true now, for both Heng and Marisa, seven years after their bestselling book The First Forty Days was published.  We talk about what has changed and how, in some ways, we're only just beginning. >  What happens when we take the traditions of the first forty days and insert them into a capitalist, patriarchal, white supremacist culture – and how having the "perfect postpartum" is another myth that many mothers can become trapped in. > How we try to tame the wildness and unpredictability of pregnancy, birth and motherhood, and how to sit in the unknowns we face during these times. >  The intuition that new motherhood gives us access to, how "maternal instinct" has been weaponized against mothers, and how listening to your intuition doesn't necessarily mean you'll always get it right. >  What happens to mothers' sense of identity and self-worth when they find themselves dramatically slowing down in the first forty days. > How mothers' relationship with food and their bodies shifts and changes over the course of pregnancy, birth, postpartum and matrescence.   I loved this interview so much, and Heng and Marisa have an incredible wealth of wisdom to share.  I hope you enjoy tuning in!

Motherhood is sanctifying work, and mothering a strong-willed child is extra sanctifying! The challenges parenting this personality type brings can lead a mother to feeling isolated, frustrated, and exhausted. What are we to do when everything we try doesn't work? How can we find hope in the midst of tantrums and attitudes? Sarah Boots from Altogether Lovely Collective joins me to share how God is helping her grow in this area. This episode is less about the strong-willed child, and more about the mother who's been gifted that unique life. God promises to give us wisdom when we ask it of Him. Claim His promise and find strength to believe forward into the life of your child, seeing the potential that God has for them!    Scriptures Referenced: Galatians 6:9   Resources: Altogether Lovely Collective Blog: Mothering the Strong-Willed Child https://altogetherlovelycollective.com/blog/mothering-the-strong-willed-child  Altogether Lovely Collective https://altogetherlovelycollective.com/  Altogether Lovely Collective Instagram https://www.instagram.com/altogetherlovely.co/    Follow my  journey by subscribing to this podcast.

We hear the word mindfulness a lot, but what is it, exactly, and what does it accomplish? Mindfulness is essential to tap into your soul energy and live in higher vibratory states. Regular mindfulness practices allow us to feel more grounded and centered…and alive.   Many of us know we have gifts, messages, innovations, ideas, and all kinds of goodness buried inside of us… but we don't completely “dive in” because of other demands on our time, energy and resources. What can we realistically explore, for just a few minutes a day or a few hours a week that brings us closer to our soul purpose?    On this episode of Stand Speak Shine, we hear from JJ DiGeronimo, two-time award-winning author and former leading woman in the tech industry. She passionately strives to help women gain “more seats at more tables” by sharing the key findings that have helped her and countless others illuminate a path forward. Featured in publications such as Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, and Thrive Global, JJ is a regularly-invited speaker for events and conferences. Her work includes three books, two podcasts, two global online communities, and in-person experiences.   A simple trick to lasso your energy from “head to soul” Nestling into the present moment by tapping into your “soul” energy vs. “ego” energy How to break free from Mental Swirls (changing your state in an instant) It all starts with valuing yourself enough to prioritize FEELING GOOD Follow the whisper: “Your purpose starts as a whisper.” Find JJ's “10 Lessons I Gained from My Mindfulness Practice” at www.jjdigeronimo.com/MindfulnessforWomen

Have you ever struggled with feelings of shame, constantly comparing yourself to others and feeling inadequate? Shame can be used as a behavioral tool, often leading to a destructive cycle of self-blame and internalization of problems.  The effects of shame can impact mental health, such as increased risk of depression and anxiety disorders.In this episode, Lacy delves into the complex relationship between ADHD and shame.  She discusses the importance of understanding the role of shame in our upbringing and how it shapes our perception of ourselves.  Reflecting on her own experiences with shame and destructive behaviors, Lacy shares profound insights on shifting from shame to guilt, embracing surrender to Christ, and finding self-forgiveness and personal transformation.

Today I'm speaking with Yara Heary from Life after Birth Psychology. Yara is a Perth Psychologist who works exclusively with women throughout conception, pregnancy & motherhood. Yara started Life After Birth Psychology following the birth of her first son, which started her on yet another journey of self-discovery. Her experiences throughout early motherhood sparked her passion to support other women as they navigate their own family-of-origin dynamics - the social programming of the good mother, relationship changes with those around them, identity shifts and role changes to find their place of balance and authenticity as mothers. Yara offers 1:1 and group coaching programs for mothers, including her group program 'The Re-Birth', alongside e-courses and workshops and her own podcast 'Life After Birth with Yara'. In today's episode, I speak with Yara about how mothering can be a time of re-experiencing and, in many ways, grieving our own experiences of childhood and how this can be both painful and an opportunity for growth and healing. We talk about exploring our triggers, reparenting ourselves and nurturing our own inner child.
