In this candid and engaging conversation, Cleo—a property manager with 17 years of experience—shares her insights into the demanding yet rewarding world of property management and the realities of balancing work and motherhood. She explains how the role is centered around problem-solving, with property managers often only contacted when issues arise. Cleo emphasizes the value of experience and structure, noting that much of her day operates on autopilot thanks to routines developed over years in the industry. She describes the importance of clear frameworks and setting boundaries both at work and at home, highlighting how these strategies help her juggle the many responsibilities she faces daily.Cleo also opens up about her personal journey as a working mother, detailing how taking time off with her children and returning to work gradually helped her avoid feeling torn between roles. She stresses the necessity of honest conversations with employers about expectations and flexibility, and shares her “golden goose” lesson: letting go of perfection. Rather than striving for 100% in everything, she advises working mothers to focus on making small, manageable improvements and to accept that 80% is often enough. Her story is a mix of wisdom, practicality, and humour, offering encouragement to other parents navigating similar paths.

Kādas stratēģijas izvēlas dzīvnieki, lai pasargātu sevi karstumā?

Lai arī šogad par karstumu vasarā pagaidām sūdzēties nevaram, ierasti ik gadu pāris nedēļas kārtīgi svīstam. Cilvēks var patverties telpās pie kondicionieriem un ventilatoriem un plānot savas ikdienas gaitas, neuzturoties karstākajā saulē, bet kā tiek galā daba? Kā dzīvnieki pārcieš sauli un karstumu? Kādas stratēģijas tie ir radījuši, lai pasargātu sevi no tveices? Raidījumā Zināmais nezināmajā stāsta dzīvnieku pazināji - Latvijas Nacionālā Dabas muzeja pārstāve, zooloģe Inta Lange un Rīgas Nacionālā Zooloģiskā dārza pārstāvis Māris Lielkalns. "Cilvēkam it kā ir vienkāršāk, mums drēbes ļoti palīdz, vai nu mēs saģērbjamies, vai izģērbjamies. Brīdī, kad vairāk vairs nevar izģērbties, mums vienmēr ir iespēja vai nu ielīst ēnā, vai dzesēties kaut kur vēsumā, vai doties peldēties. Mēs tomēr savu dzīvi turam tādos rāmjos, ja jums ir jābūt ārā, mēs esam pieturā, gaidām autobusu karstumā, saulē. Bet dzīvniekus dabā tas skar mazāk, jo viņiem vienmēr ir izvēles iespējas - ielien ēnā, viņi ielien mitrā zemē, pārrok sev bedrīti, noslēpjas kaut kur. Mums ir grūtāk," vērtē Inta Lange. "Bet dzīvniekiem savukārt ir grūtāk izģērbties. Ja pēkšņi strauji ir karsts vai auksts, nevar kā  cilvēks noģērbt savu biezo jaku un pēkšņi ir mazajā t-krekliņā, tad dzīvnieks vēl ilgi pinkaini staigās, viņam kažoka noģērbšana ir krietni ilgāka un pēc tam uzaudzēt vietā arī ir ilgāk." "Dzesēšanas variantu ir daudz dažādi," norāda Māris Lielkalns. "Kā nu kurš māk. Viens attaisa muti, atver knābi, papleš spārnus un tad elso, mēģina tādā veidā atdzesēties, cits izrakņā kaut kādu iedobi, ielien un tādāveidā dzēsējās, cits atkal pamēģina atrast kaut kur vējaināku vietu, kur izstiept visas četras kājas uz visām pusēm un tā turēties. Citi vienkārši nenāk ārā dienas laikā, sēž savā alā, iedobē, slēptuvē un viss, čuč, atpūšas. Kad tas briesmīgais karstums ir pārgājis, sākās nakts dzīve. Piemēram, tuksnesī."  Ja pēkšņi uznāk liels karstums, vai dzīvnieki var un mēdz "pārplānot" savas dienas gaitas?  "Latvijas dabā viņi ir ļoti elastīgi. Dzīvnieki nenāk pa dienu, mēs viņus tikpat kā neredzam, viņi guļ kaut kur vēsumā, ēnā, krūmos, nenāk ārā. Viņiem varbūt plānošana ir mazāk sarežģīta nekā cilvēkam, jo mums ir jāiet uz darbu, ir savi pienākumi, ir saplānota diena, tad dzīvniekiem galvenais ir būt drošībā, paēst un varbūt par ģimeni parūpēties," atzīst Inta Lange. "Latvijā, kad ir karstākais laiks, daļai dzīvnieku jau bērni ir pietiekami lieli, viņiem par bērniem īpaši nav vairs jārūpējas, un tad viņi vairāk domā par kaut kādu savu komfortu, izdzīvošanu. Tad nakts un krēslas laiks ir īstais.  Lai cik sauss un karsts pa dienu Latvijā arī būtu, tad vakarā rasa ir klāt, mitrums zem krūmiem, nokritušas lapas, zāle, viss ir tomēr mitrs. Un Latvija ir tā laimīgā zeme, kur kilometriem tālu nebūtu neviena ūdens avota, mums ir vai nu upes, vai ezeri, vai dīķi, vai purvi.  Arī pilsētas dzīvē, kad uznāk ilgāks karstuma periods, tad visi uztraucas pilsētā par dzīvo dabu, jo pilsēta krietni vairāk uzsilst nekā ārpusē un arī krietni vēlāk atdziest. Tomēr kaut vai Rīgā ūdens avotu ir daudz. Un savvaļas dzīvnieki ikdienā diezgan tālu pārvietojas no savām ierastajām vietām. Cilvēki varbūt vairāk ap māju dzīvojas, bet dzīvniekiem tie ir pat vairāki kilometri dienā. Līdz ar to ūdens vienmēr ir sasniedzamā attālumā." Ir karsts laiks, cilvēkiem daudz jādzer, jo tā mēs svīstam. Vai citi dzīvnieki arī tā svīst? Zināms, mājas kaķi svīst tikai ar ķepiņām. Kā ir ar citiem dzīvniekiem? "Ir, kas svīst, ir, kas nesvīst. Tāpēc jaukais teiciens - nosvīdis kā cūka ir absolūti garām un nepareizs, jo cūka ir viens no tiem dzīvniekiem, kas nesvīst," bilst Māris Lielkalns. "Ja reiz nesvīst, ir jāmēģina savādāk dzesēties. Un to viņa dara, ne tikai viņa, arī degunradži, arī citi cūku radinieki. Viņi vienkārši sameklē dubļu peļķi un iegāžas tajā ar  lielu, lielu sajūsmu. Arī brieži ļoti labprāt zoodārzā, mums tāds purviņš ir uztaisīts, un tad viņi tur priecājas. Tad izlien laukā tāds dubļains un apmeklētāji nevar saprast - fui, kādi, jūs netīrāt un nepucējat  dzīvniekus, bet viņš ir sajūsmā par to, ka ir atdzesējies un ļoti labi jūtas." Dubļu kārta palīdz arī pret odiem, mušām un citiem kukaiņiem un ārējiem parazītiem. Viņi iekalst tajā dubļu kārtā, tad atliek tikai noberzēties un atkal ir tīrs. Vislabākais ir sveķains koks - egle, priede. "Arī bez biezkažokainajiem ir savas dzesēšanas sistēmas. Ir aita, vēl daži citi, kam ir biezāks kažoks, bet ausis ir plikas, tās ir gandrīz kailas. Tāpat arī trusim, zaķim ausis ir garas pietiekami daudz, ne jau tāpēc lai labāk dzirdētu, bet gan lai atdzesētos. Tur ir daudz sīkie asinsvadi un tādā veidā vienkārši - ausis gaisā, vējiņš staigā, ausis dzesējas, arī pats dzesējās," turpina Māris Lielkalns. "Ūdensputniem tīri labi noderētu arī pēdas. Protams, arī spalvu kārtai ir krietni plānāka vasarā nekā ziemā, bet vienalga, ja paliek par karstu, tad plunčājas un dzesējas ar pekām. Ziemā savukārt šīs pēdas kalpo pilnīgi pretēji." "Attiecībā uz pārkaršanu tomēr gribētu piebilst, ka visneaizsargātākie Latvijā ir mūsu mājdzīvnieki - suņi, kaķi, varbūt kādam mājās trusīši vai jūras cūciņas un kāmīši, jo cilvēks par sevi padomās. Zoodārzā arī par visiem ir padomāts, savvaļā dzīvnieki paši var aiziet un atrast savu komforta līmeni, bet mājdzīvniekiem tādas iespējas bieži vien netiek dotas, jo mēs viņus ieliekam dzīvokļos vai mēs viņus mašīnās atstājam, vai varbūt kāds suns laukos pie ķēdes. Vai kādi dzīvnieki palaisti aplokā, kur nav pat nojumes," atgādina Inta Lange. "Mājdzīvnieki līdz ar to paši nevar nodrošināt savu komfortu, atrodot ēnu vai atrodot vēsāku vietu, jo kur viņš ir, tur viņš ir diemžēl. Te gan gribētos teikt, ka pieskatām esam uzmanīgi, un pagalmos varbūt izliekam āra kaķīšiem un sunīšiem varbūt kādu bļodiņu ar ūdeni, šie dzīvnieciņi gan būs ļoti pateicīgi par to visu, jo viņi paši nepratīs. Tā ir cilvēku atbildība." Cilvēkiem svīst ir dabiski, bet ko svīšana var liecināt par mūsu veselību? Lai gan šovasar ilgstošu karstumu vēl neesam pieredzējuši, svīšana ir dabiska mūsu ķermeņa izpausme ne jau tikai karstās vasarās vien. Organismam svīst ir svarīgi, bet mums pašiem un apkārtējiem sviedri un to aromāts var radīt diskomfortu. Bet vai tie patiešām ir sviedri, kas smaržo, vai varbūt aromātu rada kas cits? To skaidro Anda Apine, dermatoloģe-veneroloģe Lāzerplastikas klīnikā un Rīgas Austrumu klīniskās universitātes slimnīcas Latvijas Onkoloģijas centrā, kā arī Latvijas Dermatoonkoloģijas asociācijas priekšsēdētāja.

Vasarā tā vien gribas ļauties saules gaismai un siltumam, tomēr to vajadzētu darīt piesardzīgi. Kā rūpēties par ādu, lai saule nekaitētu un mēs neriskētu ar veselību, izzinām raidījumā Kā labāk dzīvot. Skaidro dermatologs Raimonds Karls un dermatoloģe, veneroloģe un Rīgas Stradiņa univeristātes lektore Alise Balcere. Ādas veselībai ir izšķiroši svarīgi laikus pamanīt izmaiņas un neuztvert “mazus plankumiņus” kā nieku. "Par saules ietekmi jāatgādina arī lietainās dienās, jo mums izveidojās paradoksāla uzvedība. Mēs esam izsalkuši pēc saules šajās lietainajās dienās, un kad pienāk tā saulainā diena, mēs bieži uzskatam, ka tā ir pēdējā šīs vasaras saulainā diena. Mēs redzam, ka cilvēks izmanto to kārtīgi un iegūst saules apdegumu," norāda Raimonds Karls. Dakteris atgādina, ka ir maldīgs uzskats, ka mums nav saules un tās pietrūkst, turklāt nevajag jau nemaz apzināti sauļoties, sales apdegumu var iegūt arī veicot ikdienas darbus ārā saulainā dienā. "Mums ir saule pietiekoši, lai mēs apdegtu. Kad esam apdeguši, tad esam tik tiešām lielu darvas karoti ielikuši tajā medus mucā, ko saucam par savu dzīves pieredzi," uzskata Raimonds Karls. Katru reizi, kad cilvēks iziet saulē, ādā notiek bioķīmiski procesi, kas ir pozitīvi, vērsti uz to, ka sāk veidoties vitamīns D.  "Kad šis laiks pārsniedz katram individuālo laiku, mums sāk veidoties saules apdegums. Notiek bioķīmiskie procesi, bet tie ir tādi, kuri spējīgi nākotnē izraisīt diemžēl tādas izmaiņas, kuras noveda pie ļaundabīgo audzēju rašanās," turpina Raimonds Karls. Cik bieži cilvēkiem vajadzētu apmeklēt dermatologu, lai pārbaudītu dzimumzīmes un dažādus veidojumus uz ādas? Visvienkāršākais - ja nekad neesat bijis, apmeklējiet vienu reizi, un dermatologs ieteiks, kā katram konkrētam cilvēkam jārīkojas turpmāk, atkarībā no tā, vai cilvēks ir vai nav riska grupā un izrunājot viņa dzīves paradumus. "Apskatoties, kas notiekās uz ādas, gan vizuāli, gan izmantojot ļoti vienkāršu diagnostikas tehniku, ārsts teiks - ar jums tikšanās ir tad, kad pamanāt kaut ko jaunu vai kas ir mainījies; jums būtu ieteikums reizi gadā vērsties pie ārsta; bet ar jums vēl pēc papildus izmeklējumiem ir jātiekas pēc trijiem mēnešiem, jo viens, otrs vai trešais veidojums ir jāapseko un jāsaprot, kas ar viņu notiek. Universāla algoritma nav, ir ļoti individuāli," skaidro Raimonds Karls. Raidījuma viesi arī skaidro, kā atšķirt nekaitīgas dzimumzīmes no potenciāli bīstamiem veidojumiem, kas ir “melnais gulbis” jeb melanoma, un kāpēc ādas vēža ārstēšana joprojām ir izaicinājums.

​No 15. līdz 20. jūlijam Dzintaru koncertzālē norisināsies ikgadējais Jūrmalas festivāls, vērienīgā programmā piedāvājot jauno talantu parādi ciklā "Dzimuši Latvijā", simfoniskos koncertus, operbalsis, flamenko dejas un saullēkta koncertu pludmalē. Festivālu otrdienas vakarā atklās Liepājas Simfoniskais orķestris un tā galvenais diriģents Guntis Kuzma, sadarbojoties ar pianistiem Sergeju Osokinu, Andreju Osokinu un Georgiju Osokinu. Koncertā skanēs daļas no Roberta Šūmaņa un Edvarda Grīga  klavierkoncertiem, Morisa Ravela "Bolero" versijā trim klavierēm, Volfganga Amadeja Mocarta Koncerts trim klavierēm un orķestrim,un Johana Sebastiāna Baha Koncerts četrām klavierēm reminorā, kas ir Antonio Vivaldi koncerta četrām vijolēm pārlikums – šajā reizē tas izskanēs Georgija Osokina versijā trim klavierēm un orķestrim. Plašāk par gaidāmo koncertu stāsta Sergejs un Andrejs Osokini. Andrejs Osokins: Pirms desmit gadiem ideja nospēlēt lielu koncertu ar orķestri Dzintaru koncertzālē mums visiem trim likās mazdrusciņ traka un pārāk ambicioza, bet, kad bijām uz skatuves un ļoti labi mēģinājām, tad sapratām, ka varbūt tomēr mēs būsim ļoti laimīgi pēc šī koncerta. Tad, kad vairāk nekā 2000 cilvēku atnāca uz klasiskās mūzikas koncertu, man bija lepnuma un pagodinājuma sajūta. Tieši klausītāju dēļ, jo viņi bija ārkārtīgi ieinteresēti un viņiem ļoti patika ideja, ka trīs paaudžu pianisti, trīs tik dažādi pianisti, spēlē klaviermūziku, spēlē arī kopā. Klausītājiem šī ideja ļoti patika, un tieši viņu dēļ mēs šos desmit gadus turpinājām gatavot jaunas programmas, spēlēt, vingrināties, veidot jaunas aranžijas. Repertuārs trīs klavierēm nav tik plašs, un mēs to paplašinājām, tādējādi varējām desmit gadus spēlēt ļoti daudzveidīgu mūziku. Arī šoreiz mēs nospēlēsim ļoti jaudīgu programmu. Būs divi skaņdarbi, kas klausītājiem ārkārtīgi patika, var teikt, ka pēc klausītāju pieprasījuma tos atkārtosim, bet viss pārējais būs jauns, tāpēc būs ļoti spilgta programma. Es vēlētos uzdot jautājumu Sergejam Osokinam, kurš noteikti licis pamatakmeņus šo abu mūziķu dzīvēs - vai ir kādi komponisti, skaņdarbi, kas tika atskaņoti Georgija un Andreja bērnībā, kas joprojām ietekmē viņu muzikālās izvēles un gaumi? Kas ir būtiskākie komponisti, kas iet laikam līdzi un joprojām paliek aktuāli? Sergejs Osokins: Nav vienkāršs jautājums. No pedagoga puses, kad tu ar kādu talantīgu bērnu strādā ar kāda komponista skaņdarbu, tas ir mīļākais skaņdarbs, mīļākais komponists (smejas). Ir bijis dažādi. Man vienmēr patīk strādāt ar Bēthovena mūziku, gan ar Andreju, gan ar Georgiju, ar Šopēna mūziku un Lista mūziku. Trīs komponisti. Kā tika veidota šī programma, cik ilgs laiks tas ir bijis? Vai katram tiek dots vārds izvēlēties kādu skaņdarbu, tā ir kopīga ideja? Sergejs Osokins: Protams, idejas ir no katra, bet pēc tam seko nelielas diskusijas. 2015. gadā tā bija ideja par vienreizēju notikumu. Mums bija prieks, un tikai pēc tam, bet uzreiz pēc tam, mēs sapratām, ka publikai patīk ideja un ir jāturpina. Es domāju, ka tagad diskusiju laiks ir mazāks. Tagad mēs daudz ko starp mums saprotam bez vārdiem.

This week on Mums on Cloud Nine, we're getting honest about something that affects more women than we often realise: unhealed trauma and how it quietly shapes our relationships, careers, health, and sense of self. I'm joined by Adele-Marie Hartshorn, the coach, therapist, and somatic strategist who steps in when mindset work just doesn't cut it anymore. Adele explains how trauma isn't always about big, catastrophic events. Sometimes, it's simply the absence of the nurturing, presence, or stability we needed growing up. From people-pleasing to burnout, anxiety to chronic health issues, Adele breaks down how our nervous system responds to life's emotional load, and why we can't simply think our way out of it. We talk about what nervous system dysregulation actually looks like, how trauma can stay trapped in the body, and why traditional talking therapies might fall short for some. Adele also shares how somatic healing helps us process what's unresolved and gently move back into regulation. As someone who has worked with Adele personally, I can say her work is powerful, practical, and deeply transformative. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, self-doubt, or simply struggling to feel present in your own life, this conversation might be the nudge you've been waiting for. We also explore the subtle ways trauma can show up in motherhood, leadership, and relationships, and why learning to regulate your nervous system is a game-changer, not just for your wellbeing but for everyone around you. Mums on Cloud Nine is your go-to destination for inspiring content that empowers women to build a life and career they love. Each week, we share expert advice, personal stories, and practical tips across a range of topics, from health and mindset to money and career growth.

Is it a crisis… or could it actually be an awakening? In this week's episode of Mums on Cloud Nine, we're joined by transformational coach and breathwork facilitator Naomi Buff, who brings honesty, humour, and healing to the subject of midlife shifts. Whether you're rethinking your career, rebuilding after a divorce, wrestling with perimenopause, or just wondering "Is this all there is?", this conversation is a permission slip to pause, breathe, and reset. Naomi shares her personal journey of losing everything: her marriage, her business, her sense of self, all at 40. She explains how that breakdown became a breakthrough. We talk about the emotional rollercoaster of midlife, the power of breath to regulate your nervous system, and why so many women feel like they're constantly reinventing themselves, even before they hit the so-called “crisis” years. This isn't about clichés or quick fixes. It's about reconnecting with who you really are, letting go of the stories that no longer serve you, and embracing the next version of yourself. That might mean a new job, a new rhythm, or simply learning to breathe again. We also explore: What a “midlife awakening” actually looks and feels like Why grief, rage, and reinvention often go hand in hand How to release emotional energy instead of storing it up The role of boundaries, breath, and belief in navigating change Why it's okay to fall apart if you're willing to rebuild with intention Naomi also breaks down the different types of breathwork, how it can be used to release trauma, and why you don't need an hour-long session to feel its benefits. Even a few minutes a day can help reset your state and reclaim your power. Mums on Cloud Nine is your go-to destination for inspiring content that empowers women to build a life and career they love. Each week, we share expert advice, personal stories, and practical tips across a range of topics, from health and mindset to money and career growth.

Today on the podcast we chat with the amazing Dr Emma Beckett. This chat blew me away. The knowledge and how Dr Emma imparts it for families is remarkable! The first 1000 days on an infants life, from conception - a child’s second birthday are a time of rapid growth, especially for the gut and immune system. It also lays the building blocks for lifelong health. Dr Emma and I chat about this. We discuss the gold standard of breast feeding, however, for some families that isn’t possible, so we discuss how Mums and Dads can help supplement an infants diet through microbiome and immune development through other means. Infections are one of the most common reason infants are brought in to a health care setting. Supporting gut and immune health through nutrition can help reduce this concern and build long term resilience in little ones. Nurses play a hugely important role in this area. Through guidance and support, we can assist families to navigate feeding issues and concerns. Understanding the science around well-researched formula ingredients, such as prebiotics, helps reassure families that they are caring for their infants in a safe way when it comes to deciding on ways to feed their infants. The prebiotics you need to look for in are formula are the following: Galacto-oligosaccharides Fructo-oligosaccharides Also printed as scGOS/lcFOS These are the most researched prebiotic blend globally. www.tendernessfornurses.com.au www.nutricia.com.au Dr Emma Beckett - Food & Nutrition Scientist Stay Ahead with the Latest in Infant Immunity The first 1,000 days—from conception to age two—are vital for building a strong immune system.

Still the tallest statue in the USA, the Statue of Liberty arrived from France - in no less than 214 crates - in New York City on 17th June, 1885. Costing just $10m in today's money, the Lady went on to symbolise the immigrant journey - even though the designers and engineers behind it had no such intention. And it wasn't supposed to be green, either - that's because it's oxidized.
