As we look back at our international reporters' most memorable stories of the last year, we revisit a story about families from Ireland learning their full history. There, the Catholic Church once ran homes for unwed mothers. Until recently the church dominated life in Ireland and pregnancy outside marriage was considered shameful. Behind one of these homes a ghastly discovery has recently been made. It was a secret most people in the town knew about, but no one took any action until recently. And through reporting the story, our correspondent learned of a personal connection to this history.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Send us a textIn this episode, we unpack a truth society avoids: a Mother's shout is rarely about anger. It's about exhaustion, emotional overload, invisibility, and carrying everyone else's needs in silence. From unrealistic expectations of “quiet, patient motherhood” to invisible labor and dismissed burnout, we explore why Mothers are pushed to their breaking point and then blamed for reaching it.This is not a justification of shouting, but a deeper conversation about why it happens, what fails Mothers before their voices rise, and why understanding a Mother's scream requires shared responsibility and empathy.Because a Mother's shout is not the problem—it's the symptom. And the real question isn't “Why did she scream?” It's “Why did she have to?”Request all of you to listen to this show and share your views or if you have any topics or any thoughts about my podcast write to me at somathakur@gmail.com and follow me on Instagram @somathakur.mothercoach for more updates. Support the showSoma ThakurMotherhood Coach, Lifestyle Educator & Mentorwww.somathakur.com

"Maut bas shuruaat thi... Asli khauff ab shuru hoga."Ritesh and Aditi are dead. Silence has fallen over the jungle. But in Kaala Kuwaan, death is not an escape. Driven by a twisted sense of honor and a fear of the 'Joda-Shraap', the families drag the cold, lifeless bodies back to the village.Tonight, the Panchayat Ghar will witness a ritual that defies every law of nature. A trembling Pandit is forced to chant holy mantras for an unholy union . Mothers are forced to dress their murdered children. And when the stiff limbs of the dead refuse to fold for the 'Gathbandhan'... bones must be broken .Witness the "AMANGALAM"—a wedding where the groom and bride are dragged through the fire, where rigor mortis fights the rituals, and where the silence of the village is about to be broken by a sound from deep beneath the earth.The fire is lit. The guests are paralyzed with fear. The Phere begin.Tune in to Episode 2 of Amangalam. But cover your ears... the sound of breaking bones is louder than the mantras.

Send us a textNeurobiology of maternal care in mammals: hormonal influences, stress effects & a study on psilocybin's unexpected effects during the postpartum period.Topics Discussed:Maternal care behavior in rodents: Nursing, pup retrieval, grooming, and nest-building, essential for altricial pups' survival; conserved across mammals but varies by species.Hormonal changes in pregnancy: Estradiol and progesterone surge then drop at birth, crossing the blood-brain barrier to enable infant attraction and care via gene expression and neuroplasticity.Brain circuitry for parenting: Medial preoptic area acts as a central hub, coordinating motivation and sensory inputs; present in both sexes but activated differently by hormones and experience.Stress impacts on mothers: Social stressors like male intruders dysregulate care, leading to frantic behaviors and avoidance; models human psychosocial stress linked to postpartum mood disorders.Sex differences in pup care: Mothers groom male pups more, influencing sexual behaviors, which effects future behavior.Psilocybin in postpartum mice: Single dose increased anxiety in mothers, showed no antidepressant effects, and transferred via milk, causing long-term anhedonia and impairments in offspring as adults.Serotonin system development: Early exposure to serotonergic drugs like psilocybin or SSRIs alters lifelong behavior, highlighting sensitive periods in brain reorganization.Practical Takeaways:Reduce postpartum stress through social support to enhance maternal bonding and minimize mood disorder risks.Approach psychedelics cautiously during postpartum due to potential anxiety increases and offspring effects via milk.Recognize hormonal shifts heighten sensitivity to infant cues, aiding natural caregiving instincts.Monitor environmental factors like food availability or threats that could disrupt parental behaviors in high-stress scenarios.About the guest: Danielle Stolzenberg, PhD is an associate professor of psychology at the University of California, Davis, where her lab studies the neurobiology of maternal care.Reference Paper:Study: Psilocybin during the postpartum period induces long-lasting adverse effects in both mothers and offspringRelated Episode:Support the showAffiliates: Lumen device to optimize your metabolism for weight loss or athletic performance.

Today is Episode 400… a milestone I never imagined when I sat at my dining room table with six children during the pandemic, simply trying to create safety and stability for kids who needed a place to learn. But 400 episodes later, I have grown. You have grown. The entire movement has grown. And in this episode, I'm sharing a full-circle moment: the official transformation from the Teacher Let Your Light Shine podcast into the new era of ReDream Education. This is not a rebrand. This is a rebirth. Over the years, many of us have walked through burnout, fear, exhausted dreams, and the longing for something more meaningful. We've outgrown systems that didn't fit us anymore. We've struggled with leaving the classroom, starting schools, raising families, and carrying visions bigger than our circumstances. And yet—just like me—so many of you have been redreaming your lives, your schools, your identities, and your purpose. In this episode, I reflect on: ⭐ The evolution I've experienced over 400 episodes Burnout, rebuilding, expansion, leadership, program redesign, and the deep internal shift that demanded a new dream. ⭐ How our community has changed You're not just teachers needing encouragement. You're founders. Innovators. Mothers and fathers creating microschools, homeschool hybrids, learning communities and learner-centered environments from the ground up. ⭐ Why ReDream Education had to be born Because the world no longer needs encouragement alone—it needs leaders, school builders, and architects of the future committed to mastery-based, personalized, flexible, human-centered learning. ⭐ How Microschool Masterminds is evolving This is now a national training ground for founders, offering: weekly coaching leadership frameworks enrollment systems financial planning curriculum decision-making multi-age learning structures personalized learning blueprints legal and operational support community building scalable school models It's everything educators search for when they're ready to step into their calling as founders. Microschool Masterminds is no longer just a program. It is a movement inside the movement. ⭐ Why today marks the official beginning of the ReDream Era Teacher Let Your Light Shine gave hope. ReDream Education builds leaders. Teacher Let Your Light Shine inspired teachers. ReDream Education equips founders. Teacher Let Your Light Shine ignited the spark. ReDream Education builds the fire. And as we step into this next chapter, I leave you with this question: What part of your life is asking to be redreamed? Because if you're listening today, your dream isn't dying— it's evolving.

Episode 93 On December 30, 1903, Chicago gathered for a matinee performance at the Iroquois Theater—a venue that had opened just five weeks earlier and was widely promoted as one of the safest, most modern theaters in the country. It was advertised as “absolutely fireproof.” It was anything but. In this episode of Crime to Burn, we examine the Iroquois Theater Fire, one of the deadliest single-building fires in U.S. history—and a catastrophe that unfolded in minutes inside a brand-new building that had never been tested by an emergency evacuation. What began as a small stage fire rapidly escalated as design flaws, concealed exits, inadequate fire protection, and human panic collided. Patrons were funneled into dead ends, trapped behind locked or hidden doors, or forced toward fire escapes that had never been completed. Mothers and children were separated. Entire families were lost. Outside the theater, rescue attempts turned deadly as ladders slipped and fire escapes collapsed. In the aftermath, even identifying the dead became a challenge—there was no accurate way to know how many people had attended the performance or who had successfully escaped.

Should women who abort their babies be charged with murder? A vast majority of students polled at Turning Point USA’s AmFest conference say yes.This strong opinion stems from youth who want to see pro-life policies that have enforcement capabilities and teeth, explained Ben Zeisloft, the communications director for the Foundation to Abolish Abortion, who conducted ... The post TPUSA Students Debate: Should Mothers Who Choose Abortion Get Charged with Murder? appeared first on The New American.

When "The Family: A Proclamation to the World" was issued in 1995, some called it a "duh document". Today, it is a subject of controversy, dismissed by some as outdated and praised by others as a powerful, prophetic anchor. This lesson breaks down the nine paragraphs of this crucial declaration, understanding why the family is central to the Creator's plan. The Plan of God: Marriage between a man and a woman is "ordained of God" and the family is "central to the Creator's plan for the eternal destiny of His children". The pre-mortal realm involved accepting God's plan to "obtain a physical body" and "gain earthly experience to progress toward perfection". Gender is Essential: Gender (male and female) is an "essential characteristic of individual premortal, mortal, and eternal identity and purpose". All human beings are "beloved spirit son[s] or daughter[s] of heavenly parents". Eternal Families: The divine plan of happiness enables "family relationships to be perpetuated beyond the grave" through "sacred ordinances and covenants available in holy temples". The Divine Design and Responsibility Parenthood & Chastity: God's first commandment to Adam and Eve to "multiply and replenish the earth remains in force". The sacred powers of "procreation are to be employed only between man and woman, lawfully wedded as husband and wife". We affirm the "sanctity of life". Mothers and Fathers: By divine design , fathers are to "preside over their families in love and righteousness and are responsible to provide the necessities of life and protection". Mothers are primarily responsible for the "nurture of their children". Both are obligated to help one another as "equal partners". Success Principles: "Happiness in family life is most likely to be achieved when founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ". Successful marriages are maintained on principles of "faith, prayer, repentance, forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work, and wholesome recreational activities". The Warning and the Call: The Proclamation warns that the "disintegration of the family will bring upon individuals, communities, and nations the calamities foretold by ancient and modern prophets". It calls upon "responsible citizens and officers of government everywhere to promote those measures designed to maintain and strengthen the family as the fundamental unit of society". Call-to-Action: What is one way you can better live the principles of "equal partners" or "complete fidelity" this week? Share your commitment in the comments!

Inspired by Nine Inch Nails “Hurt” as performed by the Man in Black, Mr. Johnny Cash. Someday, we all face the end of us. The end of everything. But these women, these Mothers, are actively going through it. Do they need to? Does anyone deserve to curate the end of humanity?

In this sermon, we continue our series on the women in Jesus' genealogy by looking at "the wife of Uriah." We dive into the depth of David's sin, the bold confrontation by the prophet Nathan, and the beautiful way God restores Bathsheba's life through the birth of Solomon. If you've ever felt like your story is too messy for God to use, this message is a reminder that the Prince of Peace was born into a family line that knows exactly what you're going through.

Ever had one of those moments when your back is against the wall financially? This week on the Creative Magic Club podcast, I'm joined by Simone Patricia for a powerful conversation about how motherhood can act as an initiation into more abundance and improving your financial situation. Simone connects the dots between life's financial challenges and the power of birth contractions–initiating us into the powerful family leaders we are born to be when our children come into our lives. She shares how becoming a mother can radically accelerate our growth, clarity, leadership and ability to create cashflow and abundance.She shares how she initially had resistance to talking about money, but how the topic became an unavoidable part of her work and mission as finances became a recurrent topic in client conversations. Money becomes the gate through which we are able to mother in alignment with our values. As a crunchy mom with high standards, Simone saw motherhood as an invitation to uplevel to create the financial capacity to support her vision for her family.We unpack what it really means to take your power back from financial limitation.Simone shares why so many women feel resistant to talking about money—yet feel deeply called to address it head-on—and how our desires act as divine guidance. We talk about how to reclaim money as a neutral, supportive tool: something that serves you, carries out your directives, and helps you build the life you envision for yourself and your family.This episode is an invitation for mothers to relate to money differently—to stop settling, stop shrinking, and stop believing that motherhood requires giving up on their dreams. Instead, we explore how motherhood can become an initiation portal for reaching higher levels of fulfillment, impact, and self-trust than ever before.We discuss motherhood as a collective responsibility to build new and better structures for the generations we are raising—and how moments of pressure and challenge can be initiations into deeper leadership.If you're ready to say yes to your desires, your values, and your vision as a mother, with the finances to make it all possible, this conversation is for you.Write a sales post to attract your soul mate client using you astrology chart with my FREE 5-part training series! https://withsarahmac.com/cosmic-attraction-copywriting/ The Cosmic Copy Mastermind is THE place to get the support that will bring your dream of becoming a 6-figure creative to life in 2025 by selling your high-ticket offers with sales copy driven by stories and guided by astrology.Message me the word MASTERMIND on instagram @sarahmacmagic for the full details.Support the showLoved this episode?!

In a conversation that challenges stereotypes and brings to light the unexpected realities of caregiving, this episode reveals the experiences of three men who stepped up to care for their mothers with dementia. It's a heartfelt exploration of grief, growth, and the bonds that are both tested and strengthened through caregiving. Shattering Stereotypes: Men as Caregivers We often associate caregiving with daughters, wives, and sisters, yet over 40% of caregivers are men. Many of them, like guests David Bredbenner, Alfredo Botello, and Vincent Zappacosta, find themselves in this role simply because "there really was no other option." Their stories reveal that caregiving isn't just a woman's job—it's a human one. Vincent shares, “My mother and I were always close and I just didn't trust anyone else to take care of her, because nobody knew her as well as I did.” David talks about “reacting, firefighting, and suddenly you're just drawn in, and before you know it, it becomes part of your routine.” Alfredo, navigating life as an only child, speaks honestly about how necessity and love for his mother collided the moment his stepfather passed away. Lifestyle Overhauls and Personal Sacrifice For each son, caring for their mothers led to seismic shifts in their daily lives. Plans are always tentative, boundaries are tested, and a new form of “parenting” emerges. As Alfredo vividly describes: “Nobody told me growing up that I'd have another kid in my 50s—only she'd be in her 80s and have opinions!” From rearranging work schedules to leaving reassuring Post-its for an anxious parent, the logistics become second nature, though the emotional toll lingers. The men openly discuss balancing frustration, guilt, and even resentment with deep love. They offer comfort in recognizing that no one is “superhuman”: “It's almost like we do expect ourselves to be perfect...and that never happened,” Christy reflects. While the stories in “Sons Caring for Mothers” circle around men, the lessons ring true for anyone on a caregiving journey. There are no perfect solutions, only the imperfect, beautiful bonds of love, memory, and forgiveness. After the Podcast Learn more about David, Vincent, and Alfredo and purchase their books here.

Atomoxetine is a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor prescribed for the management of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).  In this podcast, Emily Yamada discusses her article "Atomoxetine as a Viable ADHD Treatment in Breastfeeding Mothers: Evidence From Human Milk Pharmacokinetic Analysis." In their article, Yamada and her colleagues present data showing that there is minimal transfer of atomoxetine in breast milk, suggesting that maternal atomoxetine use poses a very low risk to breastfed infants, making it a suitable choice for medication management of ADHD in lactating women. The other contributing authors are Shraddha Trehan, Amy Stark, Kaytlin Krutsch, and Palika Datta. The article is published in the January-February 2026 issue of The Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology. doi: 10.1097/JCP.0000000000002109

The Free Birth Society (FBS) is a multimillion-dollar business that promotes the idea of women giving birth with no medical assistance. Now, a year-long Guardian investigation has revealed the FBS has been linked to baby deaths around the world. Mothers lost children after being radicalised by uplifting podcast tales of births without midwives or doctors, all while influencers made millions pushing so-called ‘wild' births. Investigations correspondent Sirin Kale speaks to Reged Ahmad about why so many women find the claims made by the Free Birth Society so appealing but why medical experts say they are dangerous

In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Dekker dives into the evidence-practice gap, the disconnect between what research tells us is best during childbirth and what is actually happening in labor and delivery units around the world. She walks through the latest statistics on Cesarean rates, VBAC access, and the widespread use of non–evidence-based interventions, as well as the persistent underuse of practices proven to improve outcomes, like doulas, midwifery care, and birthing positions that support physiologic labor.   Dr. Dekker also unpacks the systemic forces driving these gaps, including the role of paternalism, hierarchical power structures in healthcare, legal pressures, and the phenomenon of horizontal violence among healthcare workers. She explores how overlapping forms of oppression shape the experiences of both patients and providers.   (02:40) Why research takes so long to become routine care (03:42) A look at U.S. cesarean rates and what's driving them (05:38) The rise and fall of VBAC access and why families struggle to get support (08:01) The "bait and switch" problem in maternity care (09:34) Interventions that are overused vs. underused during labor (11:47) How paternalism and medical hierarchy fuel the evidence gap (16:39) Horizontal violence among nurses, midwives, and doulas (19:11) Trauma and burnout across the maternity care workforce (23:04) Real signs of progress and positive change in birth settings   Resources EBB 1 - Intro to Evidence Based Birth EBB 2 – What is Evidence Based Care?

Our kids are always learning from us. Our words and our example shape who they will become, a reality established by God as he has created individuals and families. This means that for better or for worse, our kids are watching, and what they see in us and from us will play a powerful role in shaping who they are. The Journal of Health Psychology is hammering this point home. They've found that there's some kind of connection between a mother who is frequently engaged with social media, specifically taking, editing, and posting selfies, and a daughter who is interested in having cosmetic surgery. It's believed that these daughters have adopted a kind of dissatisfaction with their appearance that they inherited from watching their mom's own dissatisfaction. Parents, we live in an appearance obsessed culture. Your obsessions will influence your kid's obsessions. We urge you to find your identity in the rock, Jesus Christ, and not in your appearance.

Hello Witches In today's episode we journey through December folklore, peeling back the Christian veils to reveal the older stranger magic beneath. This episode begins with with St Lucy's Day. Beneath the saint lies lore entwined with Lilith, Lucifer, witches, trolls and wandering spirits — revealing how this 'festival of light' once belonged to the darkest nights of the year. From there, we descend into the symbolism of the sickle — a tool of harvest, severing and fate. We explore its mythic lineage through Morana, Mokosh, Cronus, Saturn, the Grim Reaper and the Druidic priesthood. You will hear about the magical uses of sickles across Europe, their protective and banishing powers and how you might weave this ancient blade into your own witchcraft practice today. We close with a look at Mothers' Night (Modranicht) — the Anglo-Saxon celebration honouring ancestral mothers, protective spirits and the deep feminine that presides over midwinter. Also includes some simple, meaningful ways to honour this sacred night in your personal craft.
