Outlouders, enjoy this free taster of Mia Freedman on today's subscriber episode. Listen to the full conversation — Mia Enters The 'Working Mums' Chat— at 5 pm TODAY. What do you mean, you're not a subscriber yet? Solve that problem HERE. When an Outlouder named Vanessa sent in a dilemma asking if she should quit her job, she did something risky: she name-checked Mia Freedman. Vanessa has been a listener for seven years and has Mia’s voice on a loop in her head — the one that says women should always keep working to protect their super and their sanity. But with a second kid, a husband who has "signed a deal with the devil" for his career, and a workload that feels like a full-body squirm, Vanessa's wondering if it’s time to 'Nup' out of the workforce entirely. On today’s subscriber episode, Mia is joined by Amelia Lester to unpack the 'breastfeeding brain trap', the 'childcare cheat code', Amelia's trailing wife era, the big career myth — and the cold, hard reality of the working-mother math. Remember, this is your free sample of today's subs episode. The full debrief drops for subscribers at 5pm.

Steph Claire Smith has been forced to address her changing physique. The KIC co-founder, who is eight months postpartum, admitted she has been unintentionally promoting bounce back culture, despite campaigning against it with her fitness program. UK influencer Saffron Barker has faced backlash for staying quiet after Iran’s missile attacks. The Dubai-based YouTuber apologised, saying she’d been on a remote island in Australia with no Wi-Fi… but fans weren’t buying it, pointing out she’d posted a steamy shower selfie with her boyfriend a day earlier. Jules Neal has taken a swipe at her ex-husband whilst appearing in a TikTok video alongside the who’s, who of Perth.

Zirgi ir skaisti un gudri dzīvnieki, kuri, tāpat kā jebkura dzīva būtne, ir pelnījuši laipnu attieksmi, iejūtību un rūpes. Kāda ir situācija ar zirgu labturību šobrīd, skaidrojam raidījumā Kā labāk dzīvot. Stāsta Pārtikas un veterinārā dienesta Novietņu uzraudzības daļas vadītājas vietniece Rudīte Bērziņa, Zirgu asistētas terapijas centra dibinātāja un biedrības "Zirga daba" dibinātāja Iveta Dzērve, veterinārārste, veterinārmedicīnas doktore Evija Liepiņa un fizioterapeite, sportiste un trenere Krista Ķūrēna. Zirgs ir atbildība un turēt zirgu nav lēti, atgādina raidījuma viešņas. Iveta Dzērve norāda, ka ir valstis, kur ir aizliegts turēt vienu zirgu, jo zirgam nepieciešams socializēties. Citu dzīvnieku klātbūtne nepalīdzēs, zirgam vajag zirgu, jo citādi viņš jūtas slikti. Zirgam vajag savējo kompāniju, bez kuras var justies arī nedrošs, jo zirgs ir bara dzīvnieks. Diemžēl arvien ir ikdiena, kad zirgu piesien vai viņam sapin kājās. Šobrīd Zemkopības ministrijā top noteikumi, kas šo aizliegs. Krista Ķūrēna norāda, ka tas nav nekas jauns un nezināms, ka zirgiem nepieciešamas ganības un socializācija. par to runā arī augstākajā sportā jau gadiem un tendence ir pozitīva. "Es strādāju ar augta līmeņa sporta zirgiem, viņi dzīvo daudz ārā, ganībās, brīvi staigā, kad tas ir iespējams. Protams, sacensību laikā ir ierobežojumi, bet tad viņi atgriežas mājās un ir iespēja būt zirgam. Tas ir svarīgi, domājot par viņa labsajūtu, kā arī fizisko un mentālo veselību. Mums visiem ir svarīgi, lai dzīvnieks būtu laimīgs un vesels. Viņam ir nepieciešama komunikācija ar citiem zirgiem, nepieciešams dzīvot ārā - staigāt, ganīties, vārtīties, arī iespējams, traumēties. Mēs nevaram audzināt burbuļplēvē iepakotus tizlenīšus un cerēt, ka viņš būs sportists ilgus gadus," vērtē Krista Ķūrēna. "Tā ir arī drošība. Zirgs, kurš tiek visu laiku turēts boksā un iziet ārā tikai pasportot vai tiek ārā tikai kādu stundu, viņš ir cilvēkam bīstams, jo netiek apmierinātas viņa pamata vajadzības pēc kustības un socializēšanās," papildina Iveta Dzērve.

Tim's made a sweeping statement that all women named Chris are boy mums after spotting two at a winery and supermarket over the weekend—both had short hair, wore jeans and boots, one had three sons and a minivan, and when he yelled "Chris" at the second one in the supermarket she actually turned around proving his theory (or making him look like a total creep).See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mikaela Testa has reignited her feud with Anna Paul, a year after it nearly broke the internet. The outspoken influencer accused her former sister-in-law of getting her Instagram account banned, after she aired some disturbing audio from their past Only Fans collab. Speculation is mounting that Sophie Cachia’s back-to-back relationships with two Essendon players created fiction behind the scene. The PJ entrepreneur dated defender Sophie Van De Heuval, before moving on with her teammate Maddie Prespakis.Matt Zukowski has set the record straight on a faux romance he cultivated for a paid partnership. The awkward part is… no one was really talking about it. And Summer Warne has divided opinions after revealing she had a run-in with a so-called ‘Karen’ at the Ed Sheeran concert in Melbourne. The daughter of legendary cricketer, Shane Warne, alleges an older woman poured water down her pants because she refused to stop singing and dancing at the concert.

Det har varit första söndagen i mar.... MUMS och Gabriel berättar några otroligt skojiga nyheter för Åsskar om Vasaloppet. Som alltid har lyssnarna ögon och öron öppna för att hitta tokigheter! Lyssnarna skriver även väldigt många viktiga frågor och ber Gabriel och Åsskar att prata om vad som händer i Iran. Gabriel gör ett misslyckat försök till en kort sammanfattning, istället diskuterar dom de senaste 120 åren i Irans historia och vad som ligger bakom det som hänt den senaste helgen. Dom pratar om revolutioner, statskupper, imperialism, islamism, ambassader och missiler. Det handlar även om att känna glädje och oro på samma gång.  Avsnittet fortsätter med massor av skojiga lyssnarskämt och två nya djurarter till djurskämtvärldsrekordet! Dagens ord: Shah, revolution, imperialism, ambassad, islamism Produceras av Frälsningsarmén www.kylskåpsradion.se

In this episode, Rox reflects on maternity leave at almost seven months in.What started as a conversation about time becomes something a bit more practical — what it actually looks like to spend a year off work, knowing it has an end date.We talk about the “newborn write-off” phase. The early weeks. The hospital stay. And a little about building a weekly structure - as that isn't just for baby, but for mum too.We also touch on guilt, sleep, planning childcare, enrolling in schools ten years ahead, and how quickly time suddenly feels like it's passing by.Tune in to hear our reflections on motherhood, time feeling finite, and the conscious effort to stay steady while everything changes.

Pianists un bijušais Bolderājas mūzikas un mākslas skolas direktors Artūrs Cingujevs nule divas nedēļas pavadījis savā jaunajā amatā kā Nacionālās Mākslu vidusskolas direktors. "Atsperes" sarunā jautājam par jauno direktora ikdienu, ko nozīmē pārvaldīt ap 500 cilvēku, kā atjaunot uzticēšanos iestādē pēc iekšēja konflikta, par to, vai mākslinieciskā domāšana maina vadības stilu un to, cik svarīgi arī konkurējošā vidē ir pievērsties tieši sev un sevis izprašanai. Anna Marta Burve: Menedžmenta gars jūsos mīt jau kopš skolas laikiem. (..) Varbūt pat varam runāt par iedzimtību? Ir cilvēki, kas piedzimst ar menedžmenta garu, un tādi, kas nē? Šķiet, ka jums tas nācis dabiski. Mani vienmēr uzrunājušas personības. Un personībām ir viena līdzīga īpašība – katrs no šiem cilvēkiem ir sava ceļa gājējs. Neskatoties ne uz ko, ne uz kādiem apstākļiem. Zināmā vecumā uzdodot jautājumu, kas un kāds es esmu, protams, skatījos apkārt. Mēs dažreiz kaut ko kopējam, mācāmies, meklējam sevi, bet nonācu līdz atziņai, ka vēlos būt es pats. Un, lai es būtu es pats, vienīgā iespēja ir koncentrēties tikai un vienīgi uz sevi. Tas nenozīmē, ka jāiet pāri līķiem – nē! Bet tev ir ļoti jākoncentrējas pašam uz sevi, jāvēro sevi, jāanalizē sevi, jāstrādā ar sevi. Tā es uztveru dzīvi un sevi. Tas ir tas, ko turpinu darīt ikdienā. Tādēļ – jā, varbūt tā ir kaut kāda iedzimtība, jo vispār organizēt lietas man patika jau bērnudārzā: mamma stāstīja, ka audzinātāja esot teikusi – Artūrs būs kolhoza vadītājs! (Smejas.) Pats gan to neatceros. Tās ir lietas, kuras no tevis nav atkarīgas, līdz ar to – kad meklē sevi, tās vienkārši organiski parādās. Tas tā vienkārši ir, neko mākslīgi nevar izdomāt. Cilvēkiem ir liela tendence skatīties uz sevi kontekstā ar citiem un salīdzināt sevi ar citiem. Tāpēc spēja, māka, vēlme pievērsties sev un uzdot jautājumu, kas es esmu un ko gribu – tas, liekas, ir pat grūtāk, nekā pirmajā brīdī varētu domāt. Darbs ar sevi ir nebeidzams process. Mums parasti vieglāk domāt un runāt par citiem, nevis par sevi. Protams, esam sabiedrības daļa, un it īpaši tad, ja esam vadītāji, runājam par citiem. Bet ir ļoti svarīgi neaizmirst par sevi kā par kaut ko tādu, kas nemitīgi mainās. Viens no aspektiem, kas ļoti būtisks jebkuram vadītājam, ir objektivitāte. Faktos balstītas lietas. Skaidrs, ka mēs esam subjektīvas un emocionālas būtnes, un katram ir savs redzējums. Strādājot ar cilvēkiem, nespēju beigt brīnīties, cik mēs esam atšķirīgi un cik mēs vienu un to pašu jautājumu vai lietu uzlūkojam atšķirīgi! Tas parasti ir pārpratumu objekts sarunās. Bet jebkuram vadītājam jāspēj atrast objektīvs skatījums, lai varētu rast kopsaucēju. Tāpēc mēģinu skatīties uz sevi no malas un – nebaidos šī vārda – strādāt ar sevi. Nav noslēpums, ka Nacionālā mākslu vidusskola nesen piedzīvoja vadības nestabilitāti, kas arī bija par iemeslu konkursam. Kas, jūsuprāt, ir galvenais priekšnosacījums, kas veicina uzticēšanās sajūtas atgriešanos? Man grūti komentēt pašu procesu – atgriešanos. Bet varu teikt, ka par direktoru nepiedzimst. Par direktoru kļūst. Runājot par uzticēšanos – domāju, jebkurās attiecībās – gan cilvēku savstarpējās attiecībās, gan organizācijas ietvaros – uzticēšanos nevar panākt ātri. Tam vajadzīgs laiks, atvērta saruna, dialogs. Māka klausīties – ne tikai runāt. Tur ir daudz sastāvdaļu, kas procesu padara jēgpilnu. Un tad ir arī rezultāts. Ja mēģinām uzreiz mākslīgi iet uz rezultātu… Mēs visi esam jūtīgas būtnes, īpaši mākslā un mūzikā: mēs taču ikdienā pie tā strādājam, lai attīstītu sevī jūtīgumu! Menedžmentā tas diemžēl jānonivelē, jo neizbēgami dažreiz jāpieņem sāpīgi, ne visiem patīkami lēmumi, un vadītājs nekad nebūs vienādi labs visiem. Tā pa īstam to var saprast tikai tie cilvēki, kuri bijuši kādos amatos, jo, kamēr neesi bijis šajā lomā, tu to nevari izprast. Ja es pats nebūtu vadītājs, domātu – ko direktors īsti dara: paraksta dokumentus, sēž sapulcēs? Bet pamatā tā ir komunikācija. Es pat teiktu – komunikācijas kultūra, jo komunicēt jau komunicējam mēs visi, bet jautājums – kā mēs to darām? Piemēram, tas pats jūtīgums: otra puse vienmēr jūt un dzird ne tikai to, kādu vēsti tu gribi nodot, bet arī to, kā tu to dari. Vairāk – audioierakstā.

Aktieris un režisors Valdis Lūriņš nupat ģimenes un arī kursabiedru vidū nosvinēja savu 75. jubileju. Krasnojarskā dzimušajam puikam i prātā nenāca, ka atgriežoties Rīgā viņš nokļūs vidē, kas saistīta ar no ikdienas tik atšķirīgo teātra pasauli.  Pat savam pirmdzimtajam viņš bija iecerējis teatrālus vārdus – ja puika, tad Proscēnijs, ja meita, tad Kulise. Kādas ir pirmās bērnības atmiņas no Sibīrijas, kādas nejaušības aizveda uz Pionieru pils un Dailes teātri, kāpēc aizliedza izrādi “Žanna d`Arka”, kā sākās Teātra dienu fenomens un kāda ir šodienas kultūras vide - par to sarunā ar Gundu Vaivodi. Kā nonāci līdz aktiera būšanai? Kas tevi pamudināja? Pilnīgi nejauši. Man bija klasesbiedrs, kurš darbojās Rīgas pionieru pils skolēnu teātrī. To vadīja brīnišķīga sieviete - Astrīda Savisko. Viņas laikabiedri, kuri vēl dzīvi, droši vien Astrīdu atceras ar labu vārdu. Nokļuvu tur pilnīgi nejauši, jo Juris teica - atnāc, tur kaut kāds konkurss. Teicu - kāds konkurss, ko es tur darīšu? Viņš saka - pēc tam būs balle. Aizgāju, norunāju, kas jānorunā, pēc tam bija balle, un atradu pilnīgi citu pasauli. Pēc atgriešanās no Sibīrijas, kur kā Miškins esi nonācis no Šveices kalniem un sastapies ar realitāti, kura tev ir ne visai pazīstama. Īpaši, ja esi dzīvojis sieviešu sabiedrībā, kuras tev ir iemācījušas, ka pasaule pamatā ir skaista, kaut gan ir ļoti daudz visādu cūcību. Mani savaldzināja šī citādā pasaule. Domāju, ja es nebūtu uz turieni aizgājis, mans ceļš būtu izvērties pilnīgi neparedzami un droši vien ne visai pozitīvi. Man bija pārsteigums, ka esi sācis spēlēt Dailes teātrī, izrādē “Motocikls”. Jā. Skolēnu teātrī darbojās arī Kārina Pētersone, un Dailes teātrī pēkšņi bija tāda situācija, ka vienam aktierim, kuram bija bezteksta loma Mazdēliņš, pēkšņi bija jāoperē aklā zarna. Izrādei ir jānotiek, un Pēteris Pētersons bija vaicājis Kārinai, vai viņa nezina kādu apsviedīgu zēnu. Viņa bija ieteikusi mani. Tā bija viena no manām brīnišķīgākajām tikšanās reizēm ar Pēteri Pētersonu, kura ilga vairāku gadu garumā. Es kā brīvklausītājs pabeidzu Dailes teātra 4. studiju, kurā bija Lilita Ozoliņa, Aivars Siliņš, Haralds Ulmanis, Nauris Klētnieks Tur droši vien tevī dzima arī režijas gēns? Jā. Režijas gēns varbūt vairāk dzima, mācoties Teātra fakultātē, Alfrēda Jaunušana kursā, jo es intuitīvi sapratu, ka neesmu no Jaunušana TOP aktieriem. Man gribējās kaut ko darīt pašam, pierādīt pašam. Dīvainība bija tāda, ka savam kursam, būdams students, es pasniedzu skatuves kustību. Gala rezultātā, kad beidzām akadēmiju, mēs kopā uztaisījām manis izdomātu (tas ir vājprāts!) horeogrāfiju 15 muzikāliem darbiem. Mēs iestudējām Bernstaina “Vestsaidas stāstu”. Bet ir vēl viens stāsts ar tavām kustībām un tavu izcilu režiju, kas ir “Spartaks” 1977. gadā. Starp citu, visu Upīša traģēdiju triloģiju tu vienīgais esi iestudējis, un tas bija kaut kas īpašs. Izrādās, tas bija ārpusplāna darbs - tu biji gan režisors, gan kustību konsultants. Toreiz vēl sākās skaistā sadarbība ar Zigmaru Liepiņu. Mums radās vēlme pēc lielākas dinamikas teātrī, un tā tas darbiņš mums radās. Tas bija ļoti stilīgi, man jāsaka. Jā. Man bija labi domubiedri - Zigmars Liepiņš un Imants Vanzovičs, ar kuru kopā dienēju “Zvaigznītē” tepat Rīgā. Tā tas viss tapa. Ar skaistu mūziku, kas nu jau ir leģendāra. Jā. Kaut kādā veidā ik pa brīdi mums ar Zigmaru ir izdevies kaut ko uzminēt, vai Zigmaram ir izdevies uzminēt to virzienu, kādu tas darbiņš prasa. Otra Upīša triloģijas daļa bija “Žanna d'Arka”, 1982. gads. Kāpēc šo izrādi aizliedza?  Pirmkārt, tā tapa kā viena no kursa diplomizrādēm, kurā es šim kursam biju arī skatuves kustības pasniedzējs. Te ir vesela priekšvēsture, kas saistās ar Zigmara Liepiņa dziesmām, jo “Žannas dziesmas” kaut kādā veidā tika atskaņotas Zigmara teātra koncertprogrammā, un likās, ka tās ir mazliet par "stipru". Viņš visu laiku mēģināja to neievērot, nobāzt malā. Tas pats notika arī ar mūsu izrādi. Uz skatuves, arī Zigmara koncertizrādē, bija manekeni ar nekonkrētām sejām, bet visi varēja saprast, kas par sejām ir domātas. Tā bija sava veida cīņa par varu, brīvību un nepieciešamību pēc varoņa. Ko jūs toreiz meklējāt šajās izrādēs un stāstos? Tā drīzāk ir vēlme atrast savējos, ja arī tu viņus nepazīsti. Tā ir pilnīgi ģeniāla formula, kas ir iegājusi arī mūzikas vēsturē - savējie sapratīs. Tavā kontā ir arī kaut kas tāds, ko mums šodien vispār ir grūti aptvert - tās ir Teātra dienas, kuru aizsākums lielā mērā ir saistīts ar tevi un kas ir priekšvēstnesis visam, kas sekoja pēc tam - šīm izrādēm. Tās ir 70. gadu beigas. Mēs šodien pat nevaram iedomāties, kā tas ir, kad teātra cilvēki sapulcējas kopā, ir pilns Doma laukums. Atgādini mums par to laiku mazliet! Tas bija laiks, kad notika arī Mākslas dienas Vecrīgā. Kā reiz teica viens no maniem laikabiedriem, kurš aizgājis mūžībā, Viktors Jansons, teātrī ir divas iespējamības - viens, ka tu ar rampu norobežojies no skatītāja, vai otrs, ka teātris nojauc to rampu un iet pie skatītāja. Tas bija tas laiks, kad mums vajadzēja iet pie skatītāja, un tā tas viss radās. Tajā laikā radās arī burvīgas, augstvērtīgas mini programmas, kuras vienu gadu rādījām Dailes teātrī, vienu gadu Anglikāņos, kuri bija pilni, protams. Tā bija tāda vajadzība. Daļa aktieru, protams, burķšēja, kāpēc tas ir vajadzīgs, svētku diena ir tā, kas ir domāta mums. Tas ir 27. marts. Aktierim jau lielākie svētki ir tad, kad viņš ir kopā ar skatītāju.

If you're staring at a breast pump late at night and wondering how this is meant to work once you're back at work, you're not alone.Returning to work while breastfeeding is one of the most common and least supported transitions in early motherhood. It's practical, emotional and deeply personal. Many mums feel caught between feeding their baby, returning to their role at work and trying to hold onto a sense of themselves in the process.In this episode of The Science of Motherhood, Dr Renee White offers a calm, evidence-informed conversation about what this transition really looks like. Not the Instagram version. The real one. With practical guidance, emotional reassurance and permission to do this in a way that works for you and your family.Renee explores the realities of combining breastfeeding and paid work, including the systemic gaps that make it harder than it needs to be. She shares practical strategies to prepare before you return, alongside gentle reminders that there is no single right way to feed or work.This episode is about clarity, choice and giving yourself room to adapt as your needs change.You'll hear about:How to talk to your workplace about expressing, your rights and the space you needWhen to introduce bottles, and what to try if your baby won't take oneSetting up a pumping and feeding rhythm that actually fits your workdayWhat usually happens to supply when you go back, and why small dips are commonThe emotional load of this season, and why guilt, grief and relief can all show up at onceSuccess isn't about how long you breastfeed or how often you pump. It's finding what works for your body, your baby, your work and your mind, and letting that be enough. You don't have to nail it on day one. You're allowed to tweak, change your mind and ask for support as you go.Resources & Links

When men struggle with boundaries, commitment, or choosing their own path, the issue isn't always confidence or competence — it's often an unseen loyalty to their parents, particularly an enmeshed relationship with their mother. In this conversation, David Chambers explores mother–son enmeshment, controlling family dynamics, and individuation, using the public situation around Brooklyn Beckham as a cultural mirror. He breaks down how blurred emotional boundaries, emotional manipulation, and parental control quietly shape anxiety, indecision, passivity, and difficulty forming adult partnerships. This episode reveals how boys who are emotionally fused with their mothers are often placed in impossible loyalty binds — forced to choose between their mother's emotional needs and their partner's. Rather than shaming parents or sons, this conversation offers clarity on why boundary-setting, rebellion, and separation are essential developmental steps for men to become sovereign, self-led adults. Rather than framing estrangement as failure, this episode reframes separation as a necessary phase of growth — one that can later lead to repair, renegotiation, and healthier adult relationships.
