JURY DEADLOCK! LINDSAY CLANCY: GUILTY OR INSANE? ARE OUR KIDS SAFE WITH THEIR MOTHERS? by Greg Adams

Being White House press secretary means long days, constant travel and being available almost around the clock. For parents of young children, those demands can come with a high cost. Karoline Leavitt is leaving the role months after having her second child, saying she wants more time with her family. But she isn't the first. USA TODAY Government Accountability Reporter Erin Mansfield found that several recent press secretaries who were mothers described similar pressures. She joins The Excerpt to explain why mothers have tended to spend less time in the job than their predecessors and what their experiences reveal about a broader challenge facing working mothers.Let us know what you think of this episode by sending an email to podcasts@usatoday.com.

We know that kids spending time on social media are more likely to experience depression and anxiety. Less clear, and far more contentious, is the role we expect of schools, governments, and tech companies, and some parents are organizing.We Meet: Mothers Against Media Addiction (MAMA) Founder Julie ScelfoThis episode of our oral history project originally aired in March 2025. Since then, MAMA has grown to nearly 50 chapters nationwide, and a California court found Meta and YouTube liable for designing addictive products that harm kids - a case Scelfo has called a major win for the movement.Credits:This episode of SHIFT was produced by Jennifer Strong with help from Emma Cillekens.

In 2017, Spanish engineer Pablo Bergasa began an unusual hobby: to design a new incubator for use in African hospitals. Eight years on, he has sent 200 of his machines around the world, and he estimates they have saved the lives of 5,000 babies. Pablo's incubator costs just a small proportion of the price of a regular machine and can run on a battery and a bottle of water.

What if fear, love blocks, and even the family you were born into are all part of your soul's journey toward growth? In this episode of Porch Conversation with CJ, CJ and I explore what it takes to change your life, why love and money blocks may be connected, and how fear can keep you trapped inside an illusion. We also have a deeply spiritual conversation about God, divine protection, death, motherhood, and CJ's belief that children choose their mothers before birth. The lesson is simple but powerful: You cannot create a different life by giving up your power or waiting for change to happen. You must align your beliefs with your actions, seek the right support, heal the wounds keeping you stuck, and focus your energy on the life and love you want to receive. You do not have to live in fear or remain trapped by the beliefs that shaped your past. You can reclaim your power, heal your internal blocks, and trust that the light within you is greater than anything outside of you. — Shay Founder, Bonding Biology Institute™

Are you being shaped by the love of God or by the world around you? Most people never stop to ask that question, but the answer is forming them every single day.Romans 12:1-2 calls us not to be conformed to this world but to be transformed by the renewal of our minds. The Greek words behind both conformed and transformed describe ongoing processes, not one-time events. You are always being formed by something. The real question is what.In this message, we explore what the Bible teaches about spiritual transformation, spiritual formation, and what it means to be intentionally shaped by God rather than passively shaped by culture.Topics covered include:    What Romans 12:1-2 actually means for everyday life    The difference between transformation and deformation    Three hidden forces quietly shaping you: hurry, hostility, and hyper-individualism    Why information alone is not enough to change us    What the Desert Fathers and Mothers can teach us about counter-formation    What a rule of life is and why it matters for modern Christians    How to organize your whole life around the love of GodThis message draws on key passages including Romans 12:1-2, Galatians 4:19, 1 John 2:15-17, and Isaiah 64:8, as well as insights from the early church, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and the ancient practice of a rule of life.Whether you are new to faith or have been following Jesus for decades, this message will challenge you to stop drifting and start presenting yourself intentionally to the God who is already at work shaping you.This sermon was recorded at a Sunday morning gathering at Church of the Lookout in Longmont, Colorado.Visit our websiteFollow us on FacebookFollow us on Instagram

The PsychopathLindsay Clancy, in my opinion, did not want to kill herself. She wanted to kill her children. It was all becoming too much for her, and she felt like she was drowning in it. Drowning in trying to be the perfect wife and the perfect mother. Her thoughts of suicide came as she tried to stop her thoughts of wanting to kill her children because what mother would ever think of doing such a thing?That voice? That was her. That was her hatred bubbling up, especially for Dawson, the middle child. Her hatred at herself for not being the perfect mother, and the loud voice of her inner psychopath who gave her advice on how to end her misery. Kill them. That's what you really want to do. Then, you can kill yourself.Except that she didn't really want to kill herself. She is a nurse, after all, and everyone knows how to commit suicide by slitting your wrists. She would know exactly where the carotid artery was, oh, but that voice would tell her just make it look like that was what you were trying to do. Get enough blood to make it convincing, then crawl out the window and into the snow and wait for your husband Patrick to find you and save you.What wasn't in the plan? The way she fell, paralyzing herself, which is why these, along with whether she had a lawyer or not, were her primary concern once in the hospital. Do my legs work, she asked. The voice guided her through all of this and probably even through the trial now, careful never to disclose that it's still with her. The camera is on you now, Lindsay. Put on a good show. Maybe a part of her was sad to hear what the voice made her do, but she knew the voice was her own. It was the psychopath within that did not want to do the job of motherhood anymore. She wanted her old life back. She wanted to be who she was before. She wanted control. Her inner voice was herself.She tried every medication she could. She tried aspirations. But the dark thoughts kept seeping through, no matter how much she tried to suppress them. She disclosed these thoughts to her husband and mother and hinted at them to her best friend. What she never did was turn herself in for them as a danger to her own children. If the husband bears any responsibility for these deaths, it is that he did not turn her in himself and keep those precious babies far, far away from her.On the day of the killings, Lindsey Clancy meticulously planned her actions, not as an irrational act but as a coldly rational one. Separating the children one by one and leading them down into the basement would have been scary for them, since it had never happened before. That was where Daddy worked. That was where Mommy worked out. That was where guests slept. It was not where kids belonged. And that ominous walk down those stairs with Mommy must have been terrifying, but their little brains could not comprehend what would happen next. Here is a clip from Chicks on the Right highlighting the prosecutor's powerful closing.The hope and the reflex is to blame the drugs. We're a country of people on too many drugs, whether they're dying on the streets of San Francisco of Fentanyl or they're murdering their children in Massachusetts. One thing is for sure: lots of people are making lots of money selling the illusion that there is such a thing as being perfect.I noticed this back in the 1990s when suddenly everyone had something wrong with their brains. We'd gone through therapy and healed the trauma and abuse in our past, but it didn't make us “right” or “correct.” We needed drugs for that. We needed, wanted to be “healthy.”We were the victims of our hard lives, of our society, of our government, of the environment, of our diet, of our education, our culture, our marriages, and yes, even our children. Our children have paid the price, too, because if they weren't perfect, something had to be wrong with them; we had done something bad or failed at motherhood. The mythical “post-partum” depression came on like one of these ailments in our brains we could do nothing about. We were all supposed to respect women who undergo this affliction and forgive them everything.Over the many decades, especially on the Left, we've become separated from ourselves in nearly every way. Whether it's mothers aborting their children now as a rite of passage and an act of empowerment, or it's mothers resenting their children and unable to mother them with post-partum. Be afraid, they say, be very afraid.And then, all the way down to our precious babies whose genders we now view as potentially “something wrong with their brains.” Mothers allow gender clinics, teachers, and influencers to tell them they don't know their own babies. Drugs will fix them. Surgery, intervention, turn them into something else, someone else, someone more perfect.Women did not evolve to do it all alone. We evolved to be hovered over by our own mothers, our aunts, our sisters. Since women had babies so young in every era except the modern one, they needed the help and guidance of older women, which is why humans are among the tiny handful of species that undergo menopause, like Killer Whales. Older women have a role: to guide, to lead, and to help raise the younger generations.Lindsay Clancy wanted to do it all alone. Or at least, she wanted it to look like she did. An athlete, a nurse, and a mom, she wanted that Instagram fantasy all women believe they deserve. It all looked so good outwardly, from photos to testimonies of family and friends. But Lindsay was good at hiding. She was not a good mother at all, it turns out. She was a psychopath.It isn't that mothers don't kill their babies. They do. They dump them in trash cans, leave them in toilets, beat them until they can no longer breathe. Andrea Yates believed her children were demons and that they needed to be killed. That is what true psychosis looks like, and it's more common than it should be. Women should not be doing motherhood alone, at least not those who are fragile enough to crack under pressure.It's not easy. It's shocking how difficult it can be just to try to live your life after you've had a baby, but it is especially so for the modern woman who is used to centering herself. I was one such woman. By the time I had my baby at 32, I wanted her. She was a way for me to heal from my own childhood because I would do everything right.My own mother got so angry at times she flew into violent rages. She had four babies before the age of 25, and that must have been hard. We were untamed, wild children, and she needed control. Even now, I sometimes feel nervous when I spend time with her because we never knew when the fury would arrive or why.Like Lindsay, I was into the “attachment parenting” method, which is just the natural way women raised children before they invented things like cribs and formula. I didn't want drugs during childbirth and wanted to do it all naturally. This is the kind of pressure women put on themselves to be perfect. If one thing goes wrong, they feel like a failure. And things will always go wrong. Breastfeeding them, co-sleeping with them, hugging them when they cry. Lindsay felt guilt for not being the perfect attachment parent and leaving her baby to cry it out with sleep training. She couldn't sleep, and this was supposedly the solution. But leaving babies to cry it out is another way to separate mothers from their natural instincts, and Lindsay knew that too. But if the baby went away, then the problems went away too.After 18 hours of agonizing labor, I begged for the epidural. They'd already given me morphine, which did nothing. My labor was induced, and the contractions were unlike anything I'd ever felt in my life. The only thing I could do was scream. And when she finally came out of me, and I saw her face, I knew her already. I recognized her. My baby.I kept yelling for the nurse, “Just give me my baby!” They wanted to clean her up and check her vitals, but I just wanted to hold her in my arms to keep her safe. When they finally gave her to me and when I was complaining that I had wanted to do it naturally, without drugs, the nurse looked at me and said, “Healthy mom, healthy baby.” She was right. That's all that mattered. That's also the kind of thing labor and delivery nurses see all the time. They see the perfect and the imperfect. They see the joys and the tragedies. They see the struggles and failures. Lindsay Clancy knew all of them.I didn't let go of my baby for a full two weeks. She stayed in my arms and close to me at all times. I had nightmares of something happening to her — what would I do? If there was a fire, or an intruder, or an earthquake, or a mass shooter. I was raising her without a father, which made me both the father and the mother, and yes, that was hard. It meant my life would no longer be the most important thing.Of course, I lost my temper on occasion. But I knew I would never be like my mom. I might have been if I'd had more than one. Children are their own people. They don't do exactly what you want them to do at all times. One of my jobs was writing movie reviews, and if my daughter didn't go down for a nap, I couldn't make the showtime, so I'd drive around until she did, and sometimes she didn't, and I felt the pressure of that, and I would think and sometimes say, “time for sleep!”The few times I lost my temper stay with me. They haunt me. I wish I could go back and scrub them from my memory and my life because I was, I think, all things considered, a pretty good mom otherwise. Perfect? No. And we all want to be perfect because if something is wrong with our kids, it means we weren't perfect mothers.I would hear the complaints of other mothers and their difficult children. Why couldn't they behave? I saw them punish them with time-outs, and I always thought I was so lucky to have such a good kid. It was never bad for me. It was the best thing that's ever happened in my life. So I can't get there. I can't imagine wanting a life without my daughter. My life is my daughter. And this is what I think haunted Lindsay Clancy the most. She wasn't a perfect mother because one of her kids was driving her crazy with his obstinacy. He was the middle child, Dawson. She loved the daughter and the baby, but Dawson did not do as he was told and made everything a battle.When your life runs like clockwork and that life depends on everyone and everything doing things perfectly, one piece of the puzzle that keeps flying out of our hands is the one that will drive you to anger and, in her case, hopelessness. What was it all for anyway? Of course she was depressed. Lots of people struggle with feeling lost and hopeless, but in Lindsay's case, she believed she was disappearing because everyone's needs had to come before hers. Unless, of course, she could get rid of the child, the one making the picture not perfect. But how could she just kill him? No, she'd have to kill them all and then kill herself, or at least make it look like she tried.She wanted to terrorize her husband. And terrorize she did. The screams haven't been heard by the watchers, all of those paying close attention to the trial at home. Only those in the room and the jury heard the husband's anguished cries upon coming home and seeing his dead babies.I studiously avoided the Lindsay Clancy trial. It was like those animal abuse videos you scroll quickly by or at least fast-forward to the inevitable happy ending, if there is one. I did not want to get inside this story or put the images of those poor, sweet children strangled one by one in my head.But eventually, like everyone else, I had to pay attention to it. There were so many crazy women — mostly on the Left but some on the Right — who have stood alongside Lindsay, sympathized with her, celebrated her, attempted to say she wasn't guilty, that her husband did it, the drugs did it, the doctors did it, everyone but Lindsay herself.There is such a thing as post-partum depression, which can often lead to feelings of sadness and helplessness after the birth of the child. No one can or should tell a woman she isn't suffering from it, but it's also taken on a new meaning in our modern age, a thing that happens to women that they can't control, separating us from our natural selves. A tragedy waiting for them on the other end of the line. We don't live in a society that wants us to care about the little life conceived. We live in a society that wants mothers to be victims and martyrs - not only their babies, but their husbands or men in general- are doing something bad to them. The baby grows and changes everything. The man injects the sperm. The woman must be the helpless, passive participant who takes care of everything.That might not have been Lindsay Clancy, but her careful planning of how her husband would find his children and his wife by the time he came home required pre-meditation. She knew what those exercise bands could do, because, of course, she did. She worked out every day.Did she think of what those bands would do every time she picked one up and felt the tension in her hands? What could this do to a child's neck? How long would it take?The Long DayIt was an ordinary day like any other. She'd taken her daughter to the doctor and texted Patrick, her husband, a photo of their daughter on the day she would murder her. He texted her back a photo of Dawson, who had dressed himself for the first time. Did she think and wonder how Dawson could be so much better behaved with Daddy? Lindsay came home with Cora, who was having stomach problems. She probably was picking up the stress of her mother's bizarre flatness for some time before the murders. She was the oldest. She would know something was wrong.Patrick went to work in his basement office as their smallest baby, Callan, went down for a nap. Lindsay built a snowman with Dawson and Cora. Did Dawson give her his usual trouble? Did he say something bad to her? Or was she planning this day all along? By the time she got inside, she put her plan in motion. She texted her husband at 4:53 pm, “Any chance you want to do takeout from ThreeV … I didn't cook anything … It's been a long day.” She checked the map to see how long it would take him, and it wasn't long enough, so she asked him to go to the drug store to pick up medicine for Cora.At 5:15 Patrick left, after kissing his daughter Cora and rocking his baby Callan, and said, “I'll be right back.” That would be the last time he saw them alive. He'd be home by 6:09 pm and arrive to an absolutely quiet house.Lindsey wanted him to call out for her and his children. She probably knew he'd go upstairs next. Maybe she thought he would just go to the basement and find his dead babies, with Dawson lying dead in his office. cBut he didn't. He tried to find Lindsay. And when he saw the blood and the window and ran down to her where she was still alive, because of course she was, and asked her, “What did you do?” She said, “I tried to kill myself.” All Lindsay said when he asked where the children were was, “They're in the basement.” She wanted him to see that horror. Why? Who does that? A psychopath does that. Not a woman suffering from post-partum depression. Not a woman in a state of confusion. No, a cold-blooded killer makes these choices to stage an event that would leave her children dead and herself barely alive but alive. A nurse who didn't know how to properly cut her wrists or her throat? She wanted to punish her husband. She wanted to punish everyone. She wanted to be free. She just didn't think that would mean being in a wheelchair for the rest of her life. That was the unintended consequence of her plan. The jury was excused for the weekend. I don't expect this jury in Massachusetts, comprised mostly of women, will convict Lindsay Clancy of murder. That's what she deserved. No, she'll get off easier as some version of Not Guilty by reason of insanity. And that will be a lie. Coming up, Part Two: The Sycophants// This is a public episode.

Pregnancy and infancy are critical periods in children's development and are also the most economically vulnerable times for families. Rx Kids is a public health initiative addressing this dilemma for families in Michigan with a bold approach: It gives moms $1,500 during pregnancy and $500/month for their baby's first six months-no strings attached. Announced in early July, Cleveland has been selected as the first expansion site outside of Michigan.rnrnFounded by Dr. Mona Hanna and Luke Shaefer, Ph.D., Rx Kids is the nation's first-ever community-wide prenatal and infant cash prescription program. Launched in 2024 and serving more than 15,000 families, the public health intervention is built upon the principle of trusting mothers. It focuses on improving birth outcomes, increasing food and housing stability, and providing every child a healthy start in life. Now, a new study has found that neonatal mortality-the death of an infant within the first 28 days of life-fell by nearly 50% in Flint following the launch of Rx Kids.rnrnDr. Mona Hanna is the Director of Rx Kids and Associate Dean for Public Health at Michigan State University College of Human Medicine. In 2026, Dr. Hanna was named one of Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People in Health for her work leading Rx Kids.

Laura Worley joins Michael Jaco for a disturbing and deeply revealing conversation about the hidden world of ritual abuse, mind control and the programming systems she has spent 14 years researching and helping survivors overcome. An author, speaker, trainer and trauma-recovery coach, Laura has worked with survivors around the world who report experiences involving satanic ritual abuse, MK Ultra-style programming, generational trauma and organized systems of control. In this conversation, Laura takes Michael inside the terminology and structures she has encountered through her work, including what she describes as Mothers of Darkness, Druids, Illuminati networks, Freemasonry and Kabbala “Tree of Death” programming. She breaks down the alleged methods used to fragment identity, create fear, manipulate memory and maintain psychological control—and, most importantly, discusses the difficult process of helping survivors recognize the programming, reclaim their lives and begin healing. Laura's work isn't simply about exposing darkness. It's about getting people OUT of it. For more than a decade, she has developed resources for survivors as well as specialized training for professionals working with people who report complex ritual-abuse and mind-control trauma. Her four-book Puzzle Pieces series documents her research, survivor-focused framework and personal testimony: Puzzle Pieces to The Cabal, Mind Control, and Slavery — Part 1 Puzzle Pieces Together: Manual — A Pathway to Freedom — Part 2 Puzzle Pieces Together: Hidden Knowledge — Part 3 My Witness Against The Cabal — Part 4 Michael and Laura go into territory most conversations won't touch as they explore trauma, programming, secret societies, ritual abuse, spiritual warfare and the path toward breaking psychological control. But beneath everything is an essential message: Survivors can heal. Programming can be confronted. Lives can be reclaimed.

New research on motherhood as leadership development says yes, and the findings will make you see caregiving completely differently.This conversation dives into groundbreaking dissertation research built on a thousand mothers' survey responses and ten in-depth interviews, uncovering that mothers already practice the leadership qualities workplaces prize most: logistics, emotional intelligence, advocacy, mentoring. But it goes further, naming a truth no leadership model has ever captured, that mothers also physically grow, nourish, and protect their teams, a level of labor no other leader on earth is asked to give. And it names the word "matrescence," the massive physiological, hormonal, and psychological shift of becoming a mother that almost none of us were ever taught.This is the reframe we've been waiting for. Mothers are not behind, they are the real providers, the original leadership lab, the past, present, and future of this whole society.

This episode contains adult content that is inappropriate for younger audiences and may be difficult for even adults to hear. Please proceed with caution. In today's episode, I cover my reflections on the Lindsay Clancy trial. Why has this tragic case captured the attention of women (and mothers) everywhere? What does this case have to show us about how we treat women / mothers in our culture? What do mothers and artists have in common? How can artists (and mothers) get the support they need and deserve so they can continue bringing life and beauty to this world? I explore all of this and more. ***If you or anyone you know is struggling with your mental health, you need to know that help is available.

California's only remaining active nuclear power plant, Diablo Canyon on California's Central Coast, was supposed to shutter in 2025, but a series of heat waves and stress on the grid prompted state leaders to keep it running through 2030. And now, as demand for electricity skyrockets, a new push is growing to reverse the state's decision to abandon nuclear power, and to extend the plant's life through 2045. We'll talk to advocates who have been fighting the nuclear plant since the very beginning about the risks of continuing operations, and from those who believe nuclear power is necessary to meet California's mandate to switch to 100% carbon-free energy by 2045. Guests: Jane Swanson, president and spokesperson, Mothers for Peace Michael Wara, policy director for the Sustainability Accelerator at the Doerr School of Sustainability and director of the Climate and Energy Policy Program and senior research scholar at the Woods Institute for the Environment, Stanford University Adrian Covert, senior vice president of public policy, Bay Area Council Laura Klivans, climate reporter, KQED Learn more about your ad choices.

I think so many of us are longing for a faith that meets us right where we are. A faith that we can practice in school car line. At work. On a hospital bed. During a pandemic. A faith that is not merely escapism or triumphalism but a real faith in Christ that works not for the benefits it gives us, but for the ways it opens us up to the mystery of God. A faith that leaves room for questions, doubts, and one in which we don't have to perform to perfection. That's why I love the writing of Tish Harrison Warren. Listen to these book titles: Liturgy of the Ordinary. Prayer In The Night. And her most recent, What Grows in Wearly Lands: On Christian Resilience. Tish formerly wrote a weekly newsletter about faith for The New York Times. She serves as the C.S. Lewis Theological Write-in-residence at Truett Seminary's Anglican Episcopal House of Studies. She is a senior fellow with the Trinity Forum and an assisting priest at Immanuel Anglican Church. In this conversation we talk about Christian resilience, what we can learn from the first thousand years of church history, the writings of the Desert Fathers and Mothers, and Tish's spiritual journey from the Southern Baptist Church to the PCA to now becoming a priest in the Anglican Church. Topics Covered: Writing in the midst of a busy life The frustration of writing and how to get it done Writing to teach ideas vs writing to convey beauty Reflections on evangelicalism in Tish’s early years Tish’s journey to becoming an Anglican priest Why we need the first 1000 years of the church Who the Desert Fathers and Mothers are and what we can learn from them Resources Mentioned: What Grows In Weary Lands: On Christian Resilience by Tish Harrison Warren Prayer in the Night: For Those Who Work or Watch or Weep by Tish Harrison Warren Liturgy of the Ordinary: Sacred Practices In Everyday Life by Tish Harrison Warren Advent: The Season of Hope by Tish Harrison Warren Make Your Home In This Luminous Dark: Mysticism, Art, And The Path of Unknowing by James K.A.

Does this sound like a familiar situation? It's the end of the week. You're about to leave the office when you suddenly think: Did all of our volunteers confirm for Sunday? You scroll through the schedule and sure enough—there's a gap. Instead of allowing yourself to spiral into a panic, try this: In Services, Planning Center has gap alerts.

During August, the Motherkind team and I try to practise what we preach by slowing down, taking some time off and making the juggle just a little easier over the summer holidays.So, throughout the month, we're bringing you some of our most listened-to episodes of the year so far.Pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding can be some of the most physically demanding experiences a woman's body will ever go through. So why are mothers expected to simply carry on afterwards?This week, Zoe is joined by nutrition scientist and bestselling author Dr Federica Amati for an eye-opening conversation about what a mother's body actually needs through pregnancy, postpartum recovery and the first years of motherhood.Federica explains why the first 1,000 days aren't only important for our babies — they're a crucial window for maternal health too. Pregnancy draws heavily on our nutrient stores, birth has an enormous physiological impact on the body, and breastfeeding can require significantly more energy than pregnancy itself. Yet this is often the exact moment mothers have the least time, energy and support to properly nourish themselves.Together, Zoe and Federica explore what to eat before and during pregnancy, the truth about pregnancy cravings and morning sickness, and why fertility shouldn't be treated as solely a woman's responsibility.But it's their conversation about postpartum depletion and recovery that every mother needs to hear. Federica shares practical advice for nourishing yourself after birth, why asking for and accepting help matters, and why we desperately need to move away from the expectation that women should simply "bounce back".They also discuss pregnancy spacing, breastfeeding, maternal burnout, the mental load and what happens when postpartum recovery begins to overlap with perimenopause.Above all, this is a reminder that your body isn't supposed to return to the woman you were before children. Motherhood changes us — physically, hormonally and emotionally — and perhaps the goal isn't to fight that change, but to learn how to support the body we're in now.

Raising girls in an age of smartphones and early sexualisation is tough and in this complex arena, parenting educator Maggie Dent says we can't leave these lessons to chance.Growing up Maggie was a tomboy and noticed when she was treated differently from little boys, who were allowed to be their exuberant selves when she was not.She can clearly recall her indignation at being made to wear a dress as a little girl.The process of raising girls has changed since Maggie was a child, but there are new challenges today like smartphone usage and unwanted sexualisation of young girls, among others.She says there are core lessons we can learn to face these challenges and raise confident and well-adjusted girls.Further informationThis episode of Conversations was first broadcast in 2022.Girlhood: raising our little girls to be healthy, happy and heard is published by Pan MacmillanThis episode explores parenting, daughters, young girls, raising girls, smartphones, early sexualisation, psychology, emotions,  mothers, fathers, aunties, friends, teachers, attention, focus, listening, guidance, self-esteem, anxiety, bullying, teenagers, support.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.

Nicole is still rooting for everyone Black and she's not apologizing for it. In this episode she breaks down why the Law Roach and Zendaya era is a gift to everyone, the intentional genius of the Willi Smith Spider-Man homage, and why that Schiaparelli moment had no business hitting that hard. Then she slows it down for something sweeter, the Ralph Lauren x Gee's Bend collaboration, the four and fifth generation quilters behind it, the enslaved women who started it all out of necessity, and how you can support the community directly beyond the collab. Fashion as resistance, legacy, and art all in one episode.

Welcome to a special scripture-focused bonus episode of the Jesus Calling Podcast, where we examine the stories and roles of mothers in the Bible with author and host of the Old Ladies Know Stuff podcast Rhonda Stoppe. Rhonda walks us through the lives of women in the Bible like Naomi, Eunice the mother of Timothy, Mary, Rahab, the woman at the well, Herodias, and more. Rhonda shows us what we can learn from Biblical mothers that challenge and equip us to guide the next generation. Links, Products, and Resources Mentioned: Jesus Calling Podcast Jesus Calling Jesus Always Jesus Listens Rhonda Stoppe Moms of the Bible Interview Quotes: “God calls older women to teach the younger. When I look back on my life, I remember not having a clue how to be the wife I wanted to be, the mom I wanted to be, the woman I wanted to be. I needed mentors. I needed help.” - Rhonda Stoppe “I couldn’t stop exploring the lives of these women in history that God used for their time. So many of their flawed stories reflect the grace of God that says, ‘Now I’ve got you broken and now I can use you in a way I never could have used you had you not failed.’ Because now you’re relying completely on Christ alone.” - Rhonda Stoppe “If you look at all the moms in Scripture, and children throughout history, you will find that their first teachers were not theologians. It was their moms.” - Rhonda Stoppe “Eunice and Lois were pouring into Timothy. They didn’t know that they were raising the young man who Paul would one day hand over the mantle of his ministry to. Do what’s in front of you, trust God with the outcome.” - Rhonda Stoppe “We want to follow Jesus wholeheartedly. We want to raise our kids in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. We want to live in a manner worthy of our calling. And we want our life to reflect Christ’s love so that our kids want to follow Jesus.” - Rhonda Stoppe "‘No greater love has a friend than this: that he lays down his life for a friend.’ You are God-ordained, called to be the moms of this next generation. You’re shaping world changers. You are the architects of the next generation—this is an incredible calling that God has put on your life." - Rhonda Stoppe Connect with Jesus Calling Instagram Facebook Twitter Pinterest YouTube Website TikTok *Episode produced by Four Eyes Media Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

Chamber of Mothers is a national movement built by moms who got tired of waiting for change, and the Minnesota chapter started with a conversation between two friends.In this episode, we're talking with Katy, co-founder of the Minnesota chapter of Chamber of Mothers, about how her own maternity leave pitch turned into a movement. We're getting into what advocacy actually looks like when you're already stretched thin as a mom, and why showing up in small ways still counts. We also talk about what it took to bring these voices all the way to Washington, DC.What you'll hear:How Katy's maternity leave pitch to her own employer became a template other moms are now using with theirsThe three pillars Chamber of Mothers organizes around: maternal health, paid family leave, and affordable childcareWhy doulas see themselves as advocates, and what that looked like showing up in Washington, DCHow the Minnesota chapter grew from two facilitators into a full board, and what that shift actually tookWhat it looks like to stay involved when life gets full (small, medium, and large action items, your pick)Katy is the co-founder of the Minnesota chapter of Chamber of Mothers and a returning guest on the podcast.

According to Lutheran Service Book, the commemoration of St. Monica falls on August 27 each year. To give you enough time to source ingredients for Erin's delicious St. Monica Buns, we're sharing this episode from August 2024 to inspire your ideas for a St. Monica Day Party! Who exactly is St. Monica? How does one celebrate her? To answer these questions (and more), the Party Planning Committee is back!   Monica, mother of St. Augustine of Hippo, is remembered today as an example of faith, patience, and godliness in the face of complicated family relationships.   In this episode, Rachel briefly tells Monica's inspiring life story before suggesting an appropriate menu and party plan befitting the saint's fabled austerity — featuring vegetable porridge, bread, water, loud weeping, and all-night prayer vigils. Thankfully, Erin and Sarah intervene with a much more festive set of ideas, including Erin's original recipe for St. Monica buns (see below) and Sarah's home-grown party games: pin the collect on the saint, “Aqueducts and Leviathans” (a fun “Shoots and Ladders” spinoff), and, of course, a hymn sing. St. Monica's Buns Recipe by Erin Alter Makes 12 buns (can easily be doubled)  Dough  ½ c (117 ml) milk, any kind, lightly warmed 1 ¼ t (½ packet) instant yeast  2 T (25 g) granulated sugar  ¾ t salt   1 large egg  4 T (57 g) butter, softened  1 ¾ c (227 g) flour   Filling  3 T packed brown sugar  ¼- ½ t cinnamon  Scant 1/8 t ground ginger  Good pinch of salt  2 peaches, pitted and diced   Garnish  Milk  Turbinado sugar  Directions Whisk together warm milk, yeast, sugar, and salt a large bowl. Whisk in eggs. Add softened butter, chunked up. Use Danish dough whisk to incorporate flour. Stir vigorously for the duration of one of your favorite songs (ideally 4-6 minutes; the song will help it go faster). The dough will be smooth but still extremely sticky. This is proper.   Transfer the whole mess into an oiled bowl big enough to hold it when doubled. Cover tightly with plastic wrap, and from here there are two possible schedules:  Method 1: Let the dough rise at room temperature until it just shy of doubles, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Transfer dough to the fridge to chill for at least 1 hour and up to 2 days. It is impossible to work with this dough when still at room temperature; don't even try.  Method 2: Let the dough rise in the fridge a minimum of 8 hours, and up to 2 days. It will be just about doubled when it comes out.  From this point, you are now back on the same track, regardless of your rising method. Preheat the oven to 350°. Grease a muffin tin. Combine brown sugar, spices, and salt. Mix in the diced peaches. Set aside to get juicy.  On a well-floured counter, divide the dough in quarters, and then divide each quarter into 3 pieces, so you have 12 pieces of dough.   Roll each piece of dough into a ball. On a well-floured counter, use a rolling pin to flatten it out into a circle, ~ 4 inches wide. Add flour as needed to keep it from sticking. Work fairly quickly, so the dough doesn't get too warm.   Holding the circle of dough in your palm, add two heaping spoonful's of the peaches to the center. Gather the edges of the dough up around the sides, forming a little nest. Nestle the nest into the muffin tin and repeat. If you have extra peaches at the end, you can see if there are any buns that you could scoop a little more into.   Brush the dough edges with a little milk and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.  Bake for 16-18 minutes, until golden brown and bubbly. Let cool at least 5 minutes before removing from the muffin tin and serving.  Optional: Serve with crème fraiche.    Note: If you add extra peaches to a bun, don't let the peaches heap up over the dough much at all. If you do, they will probably overflow in the oven and you will have delicious buns that are very, very sticky to eat and an extremely messy pan to clean. And non-overflowed buns are just as delicious, and much more pleasant to eat.     Crème Fraiche  Combine 1 c heavy whipping cream with 1 heaping T sour cream in a container with a tight fitting lid. Shake for 15 seconds (don't turn this to butter!). Leave it on the counter for 24 hours, covered. Stir it 2-3 times during that time. It will become thickened (similar to yogurt, but not nearly as thick as Greek yogurt) and delicious.

I hope that you hear this message that there is a safe and compassionate option awaiting you.""The surrender would need to take place at a designated safe haven facility. And the baby would need to be surrendered to a staff member of that facility. So mom cannot pull up to the facility in her car and place the baby and a baby carrier on the sidewalk."Show Notes by Barevalue.No content or comments made in any TIPQC Healthy Mom Healthy Baby Podcast is intended to be comprehensive or medical advice.

During August, the Motherkind team and I try to practise what we preach by slowing down, taking some time off and making the juggle just a little easier over the summer holidays.So, throughout the month, we're bringing you some of our most listened-to episodes of the year so far.If you're the person who remembers the PE kits, books the appointments, sorts the childcare, knows when the suncream needs reapplying and automatically assumes you're looking after the children unless you've specifically arranged otherwise — this episode is for you.This week's episode is with author Lou Beckett for a brilliantly honest conversation about being the default parent and the invisible mental, emotional and physical load so many mothers carry.Lou describes default parenting as something bigger than the mental load. It's not only thinking about everything that needs to happen; it's doing it, managing it and carrying the underlying assumption that ultimately, you are responsible. And often, couples don't consciously choose these roles at all. They simply fall into them after having children and never stop to renegotiate them.We talk about what that does to your identity, your relationship and your time — including Lou's experience of stepping away from her career while her husband's career accelerated, and the gradual feeling that she had lost sight of who she was outside motherhood.Lou also shares what has actually helped them change the dynamic at home: having honest conversations about responsibility, creating space for both parents' needs and recognising that wanting time for yourself doesn't make you selfish. We also talk about the enormous standards mothers place on themselves, comparison, mum guilt and why sometimes “good enough” really is enough.This is a funny, validating and incredibly relatable conversation for any mother who has ever thought: Why does everything seem to fall to me?

Good mother with anger? Best friend’s baby name. Extra shrimp? 30+ bar. TV anchor mom sleeps. Kaiser misdiagnosis. OnlyFans model “guilty.” Dine-and-dash. SUV shot up.

This week, Sarah sits down with Reshma Saujani—New York Times bestselling author, founder of Girls Who Code, and the founder of Moms First! Inspired by Reshma's new documentary No Country for Mothers, this episode explores why motherhood in America can feel uniquely difficult. From the crushing cost of childcare and the lack of paid family leave to the impossible expectations placed on modern moms, Reshma makes the case that the challenges so many mothers blame themselves for are actually the result of a broken system—not personal failure.In this episode, we cover:Why motherhood in America feels so uniquely difficultHow the childcare crisis and lack of paid leave affect every familyThe "momcession" and why mothers are leaving the workforceHow culture wars distract us from real solutionsWhy motherhood is a public policy issue—not an individual failureWhat Moms First is doing to create change, and how you can get involvedThis is such an important discussion!
