Vic shares why having a calm, patient husband (aka Poor John) helps her stay somewhat balanced, and Hamish reflects on why all of Vic's writing seems to circle back to one powerful thing: radical honesty.Come for the laughs, stay for the reassurance — Need to feel like all those drinking and parenting fails were just what made you evolve? Well, you're in the right place!and don't forget to grab your copy of Mumming here:

Everyone's experience of motherhood is different. Some women get pregnant straight away. Some women sail through their pregnancy. Some women's babies behave according to the textbook. The truth is, motherhood is a mix of highs and lows. The trick is to just be in the moment because this too will pass. Intrigued? Then sit back, relax and listen to find out.   On this episode, I'm joined by Amy Goodall who found herself thinking that she might have missed the boat only to be blessed with a beautiful daughter. If you enjoyed this podcast then please like, share and subscribe.    A bit about Amy This is Amy Goodall, the Branding Alchemist. Her life's purpose (aside from Mumming) is designing the most ‘perfect-for-you' visual love language for ambitious female brand founders. The insane result of this is internal validation to be your most absolute free, authentic self and it allows you to show up in the way that lights you up the most. The right people will start to easily find you, and will pounce on every new thing you launch, making work feel the best that it ever has. The thing that has surprised her the most about being a Mum is the sheer, messy, complexity of it all; and how little control she would have over so many situations. It's taught her a huge lesson in humility, and most importantly to choose her battles wisely. She also had no idea she'd spend so much money on snacks. Tell us you're a Mum without telling us you're a Mum: the insane amount of snacks in the cupboard. And the generally un-groomed appearance of her hair for the last 9 years! The best thing about being a Mum is one day, you realise you have a new best mate who will open your eyes in ways you never knew were possible. It's mad-magical!

You are a GOOD MUM

Being a mum is great, but it can also be relentlessly challenging and impossibly difficult. Not to mention that from the day they're born, you know you'll eventually lose your children to adulthood.In her late 30s, writer and actress Michele Winstanley gave birth to a much-wanted child, and quickly realised that mumming wasn't the sugar-coated dream she'd been sold. And so she wrote a play about her own experiences and those of others at different stages of their motherhood journey. A decade on, Broken Water is now playing at the Arcola Theatre. Our Jen caught up with Michele and director Nicola Samer to talk about the highs and lows of being a mum, the losses we incur along the way, and, when it comes to representations of motherhood, how much (or little) has changed in the last ten years.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/standardissuespodcast.

In this episode Eirik takes a deep dive into the ritualized home invasions once part and parcel to the Scandinavian yuletide celebrations, and the trollish mafiosi associated with it. Starting out with ill-advised discussions about unfounded heathen-ish speculations about secretly ancient (but actually modern) elements of the season as an expression of a sort of independent and nebulous "ur-pagan" reflex, after railing against logical positivism gone mad, we consider Catholic pragmatism as contrast to the war on Christmas as waged by protestant state zealotry in 18th century Denmark-Norway. Ultimately we somehow manage to make it to the yule goat/yule buck mummer's play and its variants across Fenno-Scandinavia, with local variants such as the Norwegian Lussi and Sami Stállu, with an entire bastard of a segment dedicated to the intricacies of barnyard spirits, domestic cult, obscure Norwegian dwarf lore, unspeakable Norswedian snake cults, and ample helpings of esoteric nissemaxxing and tomtebissing in between.

Welcome back to Mumming and Vibin, a summer series just for the mama's to talk all things motherhood. Your host, Sky is back with her girls Nekita and Tesa for another intriguing conversation. This week we dive into love and intimacy after children.

For me, this episode is 11 years in the making. For my guest Barry Lynch and his group the Armagh Rhymers? We're talking 30 years. The Armagh Rhymers (https://armaghrhymers.com/), a traditional Irish mummers band from Northern Ireland, released their first album in 1992. So now 30 years later, “Vol. 2” is on the streets and, well, you need to take a seat, grab a pint or two, and listen in. Mumming, for those who don't know, is an ancient tradition, dating back in Ireland to the pagan, pre-Catholic days. It consists of musicians wearing straw masks, becoming characters, and performing a play based on fables and other rituals dating back thousands of years. They go door-to-door, singing and playing for whomever let them in. So yeah, this one goes back a bit. Barry helped produce and mix the album, as well as playing all kinds of stringed instruments and adding his distinctive vocals. I met Barry more than 11 years ago on a trip to Northern Ireland and we stayed in touch over the years. This is the first time we've talked since we met at a pub in the small town called Moy, maybe 45 minutes west of Belfast. Barry is an accomplished musician, having played all over the world and even at the White House in the late 90s, promoting the peace process that ended decades of sectarian strife in Northern Ireland. While this is an ancient artform, the Armagh Rhymers Vol. 2 is at its core about peace; it's about coming together through music. So go grab that pint (or two) and welcome Barry Lynch to For Songs.

Steph Claire Smith (Miller) started out modelling seriously when she finished up at high school in Melbourne and it wasn't long before she got whisked away to New York with work opportunities. In the Big Apple she often found herself in the same room as Victoria's Secret models and sparked up an unlikely friendship with Taylor Swift (oh you better believe we get into how that happened!) Upon returning to Oz, Steph continued to work with prominent brands online solidifying herself as an incredibly successful model and influencer. In 2015 she started working on an E-Book called Keep It Clean with her best friend Laura Henshaw which has since evolved into the juggernaut that is online health and fitness platform Keep it Cleaner. We dive into the origins of the business and it's key to success and is it always a good idea to do business with your bestie?! Plus how the hell do you keep up running a business with a newborn?

We've all been through a LOT the past 2 years and sometimes it can feel like it's only happening to us!  We can sometimes feel like we are living in the middle of a total sh*t show, while Sally over the fence has it all together..... I'm super excited about today's episode because I have brought together three very special ladies Dr Kristy Goodwin, Angela Lockwood and Dr Alison Young in a panel-style discussion, exploring overwhelm, burnout and how we can put boundaries in place to support ourselves when we're navigating "all the things"  Each of these women are total rock stars in their own right, you can learn a little more about them below!  I wanted to hear what they are observing in the people they are supporting, to help draw back the curtain a little and enable us all to realise, that it's not just happening to us, we aren't alone. In this episode they cover: Their personal experiences over the past 2 years Some funny anecdotes about working from home and lock down life Triggers we should be keeping our eye on Ways we can shift ourselves out of a triggered state, regain our sanity and put the handbrake on burnout I loved this conversation and knew it was going to be a great episode to record. What else would you expect by putting 4 women together talking business, burnout and motherhood!     You may have heard Dr Kristy on the podcast before, way back at Eps 17! Kristy translates the science of digital productivity and wellbeing into realistic strategies so individuals can achieve peak performance in a digital world. She's a professional speak, a researcher, an author and a mum of 3 young boys!  Angela is Australia's leading authority on creating calm classrooms, kids and families.

She's also a mum of 2!  And last but not least we have gorgeous Dr Ali, who is a chiropractor on a mission to help working mums reclaim their health and rebalance their hearts to overcome burnout, exhaustion and fatigue. As a recovered burnt-out mother herself, she understands the fine line that exists between vitality and doing everything too often.

Listen as Annie and Wendy talk about alternative routes to motherhood with actress turned celeb cook, Lisa Faulkner. From the agonies of ectopic pregnancy to the stress of IVF; that first day as an adoptive mum to her golden rule as a step-mum: NEVER parent your partner's kids.

In our last episode of 2020 we lurch, masked and tipsy, into the Kringle Hut, to fashion a horror scenario around the Newfoundland tradition of mummering. Beloved Patreon backer Noel Warford convenes a session of Ask Ken and Robin to inquire into the cosmology of his Hellenistika project. In the Cinema Hut we kick off […]

This episode presents the American Folklife Center’s 2020 mummers’ play, “The Peaceful Transfer of Mumming.” Every year, in the week or two before Christmas, staff members of the American Folklife Center put our research and performance skills into play, bringing collections to life in a dramatic performance that tours the halls of the Library of Congress. The performance is based on traditional mummers’ plays. This year, since we can’t perform our mummers’ play live, we present it here as a podcast episode, like an old-time radio play. “Mumming” is an old word for a tradition of getting dressed up in costumes and going from house to house, doing a performance in exchange for food, drink, and money. In Britain, sometime in the 17th century, it took the form of a particular kind of play which includes music, and dance, and rhymes. In the play, several characters get in a fight, one or more are killed, and a doctor arrives and revives the dead characters. This 2020 mummers’ play features Stephen Winick as Father Christmas, Stephanie Hall as Beelzebub, Valda Morris as Linear Feet, Michelle Stefano as Thomas Jefferson, George Thuronyi as John Adams, Hope O’Keeffe as George Washington, Theadocia Austen as Doctor Dolley Madison, and Jennifer Cutting as Abigail Adams. Accordion music is provided by Jennifer Cutting.

Mumming in the Information Age is no easy feat when we are simultaneously bombarded with messaging of 'it takes a village to raise a child' + live in an individualistic society. Dr Sophie Brock is a sorceress of Sociology having spent years researching Motherhood, she believes in an empowered practice of Mothering + gives us a helpful distinction between Mothering + Motherhood. We chat all things self-sacrificing behaviour, intrusive harm thoughts, anger + how to process Mum guilt to allow it to transform us into better alignment, this is one episode not to be missed!

Disability activist Gem Turner has been shielding, and she talks to Hannah about what that means, whether she feels ready to go back into the real world and what the last few months have taught her about how this Government views disabled people. Award-winning journalist and editor-in-chief of Empire magazine Terri White chats to Mickey about her beautiful, hard-hitting memoir Coming Undone, an extraordinary book, dealing with poverty, child abuse, alcoholism and mental breakdown. And time-travelling Jen is here again, catching up with the awesome – in the most literal meaning of the word – Jo Pavey about being an Olympian and keeping kids active during lockdown. Jam-packed? Damn right.

Maintaining boundaries while running a business, caring for her son and doing all the things. Restoring balance when we inevitably drop one of those many balls we juggle as mums.

I’m joined today by Lauren Roberts. Lauren is the founder of Mumming, a social enterprise that brings together self-employed parents for co-working sessions and events.   What’s unique about Lauren is how she’s dedicated to growing a connected community of parents to support a better work-life balance and bring back the social elements of office life that are often missing when working from home. And be sure to listen to the end, where Lauren describes why the ability to bounce ideas off of someone sitting next to you cannot be underestimated. So whether you’re interested to know more about co-working spaces, or would like to know more about what it takes to run a successful independent business, then I hope you enjoy this episode of the Inside Kingston™ podcast.   ~ LINKS & RESOURCES ~ Mumming - Website Lauren Roberts - LinkedIn   ~ YOUR HOST ~  Hi, I'm Amyr Rocha-Lima.

This week we look at how boundaries between our earthly world and the netherworld become blurred during the liminal period of Hallowe'en and during Diwali. we also discover the origin of Jack o' Lantern and look at Yalis. Magical plant: Neeps.

There’s a whole lot of mythology around the so-called sacred mother-daughter bond, but it isn’t always reality. Mumming is hard work. It’s a tonne of unpaid emotional and physical labour, and mums don’t always get it right. We speak to women who’ve navigated very fraught relationships with their mums.

The juggle is REAL when int comes to managing Mum life and Work life. Over the past five years I have learnt some big lessons when it comes to navigating the world of mumming while owning a business. All of these practices have made a positive difference in my life. I hope you enjoy this episode. Make sure you're following along on Instagram @kyliecamps and hit subscribe XX

For the first time, scientists say they created cloned primates using the same complicated cloning technique that made Dolly the sheep in 1996. Shanghai scientists created two genetically identical and adorable long-tailed macaques. Researchers used modern technology developed only in the last couple of years to enhance the technique used to clone Dolly, which is called somatic cell transfer.
