To post cute pics of your kid, or to not post cute pics of your kid, that is the question. Kee and Kelly dive into the murky waters of kids and social media, sharing their personal takes on whether or not to share their children’s lives online. They discuss everything from setting boundaries and protecting privacy to the rise of mumfluencers who turn their kids into content for likes and followers. It’s a candid chat about where to draw the line between sharing and oversharing and the impact it can have on kids growing up in the digital age.

Ar ko visvairāk aizraujas vidējais aktīvais latvietis? Vai tā ir skriešana, komandu sporta spēles vai kas eksotiskāks? Jauns pētījums atklāj interesantus faktus par sporta nozīmi un lomu Latvijas sabiedrībā, kā arī to, ar kādiem sporta veidiem nodarbojas iedzīvotāji brīvajā laikā un cik salāgotas ir šīs slodzes. Raidījumā Zināmais nezināmajā ar pētījumu iepazīstina Latvijas Universitātes Medicīnas un dzīvības zinātņu fakultātes asociētā profesore Līga Plakane un Latvijas Universitātes Medicīnas un dzīvības zinātņu fakultātes lektore Zane Šmite. "Nemaz tik slikti nav. Mūsu vēsturiskās tradīcijas sauc mūs iet dabā - mums patīk sēņot, mums patīk makšķerēt. Mums patīk Līgo svētki un citādas lietas dabā, mēs tomēr neesam tupētāji istabā. Ja tādas plānveida aktivitātes, nav tik slikti, bet varētu būt labāk," tā par Latvijas iedzīvotāju kustību un sportošanas ieradumiem min Līga Plakane. "Dati rāda, ka varētu būt labāk. Ir, kas sasniedz visas rekomendācijas, bet būtiski ir, lai tie, kas ir aktīvi, nekļūst mazaktīvāki, kā arī kopumā visi kļūtu aktīvāki," piebilst Zane Šmite. Tie, kas ir fiziski aktīvi, bijuši arī atsaucīgi piedalīties aptaujā un pētījumā. "Pirmais bija noskaidrot, cik cilvēki ir aktīvi, turklāt būtu jāskatās ne tikai sportiskās aktivitātes ārā vai telpās, bet arī sēdēšanas paradumi jāņem vērā. Lai aktivitāte nebūtu pārspīlēti ofensīva, bet lai kustība caurvītu visu dienu, gan darba dienas, gan brīvdienas," vērtē Līga Plakane. "Skriešana dominēja kā populārākais aktivitātes veids gan dāmām, gan kungiem, otrs bija spēka treniņi, pie kam spēka treniņi bija populārāki dāmām nevis kungiem. Trešā abām dzimumu grupām bija riteņbraukšana, tad sekoja krosfits. Iekļāvās arī garas pastaigas. Tas mūs priecēja, jo tā ir pamatvielmaiņu uzturoša aktivitāte, turpina Līga Plakane. "Galvenā atziņa - tautas sportists ir dažāds un sportot var jebkurš," norāda Zane Šmite. -- Bet par sev svarīgu grāmatu stāsta humanitāro zinātņu pētniece Sanita Reinsone.  Viņa izvēlējusies stāstīt par grāmatu "Ādama stāsts". Pētniece to iepazinusi vēl pirms šis stāsts tika izdots grāmatā. Tā ir ar roku rakstīta 19. gadsimta latviešu zemnieka Ādama Purmaļa autobiogrāfija.

Frances Bilbao founded Mums Matter Psychology when her oldest child was just three months old, and now, alongside raising three children her practice has grown into a social enterprise supporting more than 4,000 families each year with over 120 clinicians nationwide. So, as you might've guessed, she's learned a lot of what parents need. And I love hearing from parents that are also psychologists, because they just get it, from both the professional and personal point of view.Here, we hear all about building her business alongside raising children, why we need to take sleep deprivation more seriously (which if you've listened to this show for a while, you'll know is a hill I'd die on), how society is letting down families and why we need to stop gaslighting mums into thinking the struggle comes from within them. This episode is a warm hug, and while you'll still hear Loz and I chat each week, this is the perfect way to finish off our interviews for 2025 before our schedule changes a little next year. But more on that in the new year. For now, let's hear from Frances. —Thanks for listening!

Laikā, kad Latvijā izjūtama spēcīga lauku iztukšošanās tendence un attālāku reģionu depopulācija, ir arī tādi cilvēki, kas iet pret straumi un izdara apzinātu izvēli par atgriešanos vai dzīves sākšanu lauku vidē. Tādi ir arī Latvijas Radio jaunāko raidieraksta "Es izvēlos dzīvi laukos" galvenie varoņi – jauni cilvēki, kas, izbraukājuši tuvākas un tālākas zemes, šobrīd savu dzīvi un darbu veido Latgales laukos. Iemesli dažādi – brīvības alkas, klusums, miers, senču mantojuma sentiments, pašaudzēta pārtika un biznesa iespēju potenciāls. Latgaliete Maija Krasnā un no Īrijas nākušais Džeimijs Henebry (Jamie Henebry) satikās Īrijā, kad vēl studiju laikā Maija uz gadu tur bija aizbraukusi padzīvot. Pēc tam abi izlēma kādu laiku veltīt pasaules apskatei. Apbraukuši lielu daļu pasaules, abi sapratuši - jādara kas paliekošs. Un šo apziņu, ka nepieciešams ne vien baudīt, bet arī atstāt ko paliekošu, viņiem iedevusi tieši pasaules pieredze. Tādēļ piecus gadus atpakaļ viņi pieņēma ne vieglu lēmumu un iegādājās novārtā atstātu muižu Latgalē.  Preiļu novadā esošās Ārdavas muižas jeb Jezufinovas muižas kungu mājas Preiļu novadā vēsture iestiepjas 19.gadsimta 60 gados, kādreiz te bijusi skola, bibliotēka. Tā piederējusi pašvaldībai, vēlāk privātīpašniekiem, bet tagad tās vēsturi ar cieņu pēta Maija un Džeimijs, pa vasarām to arī apdzīvo, uzņem tūristus, viesus, organizē pasākumus, un kādreiz te cer iekārtot vietu māksliniekiem un amatniekiem un iespējams arī viesnīcu, bet galvenais īstu māju sev. Džeimijam bija svarīgi, ka šī vieta ir blakus Maijas dzimtenei, tāpat Latgale atgādina viņam arī savu dzimteni kaut kādā ziņā, un šobrīd viņš te jau jūtas kā mājās. „Daudzi nopērk īpašumu, uzliek vārtus, bet mēs darām otrādāk, mēs nopirkām, uzreiz uztaisījām atvērto durvju dienu un aicinājām visus ciemos.” Jaunais pāris atzīst, lai arī muiža apmeklētājiem ir atvērta, tomēr šogad pieņēmuši lēmumu to darīt tikai atsevišķās dienās, jo dažkārt ceļotāji, kas te iegriežas, neizprot – ka te ir arī tagad viņu mājas. Jaunie muižas saimnieki ēkas atjaunošanā iet maziem solīšiem, un atzīst - tas ir ilgtermiņa projekts. „Esam piebremzējuši, un vairs nemētājamies ar vārdiem – atjaunot, restaurēt - tie ir pārāk lieli vārdi. Mums ir logi, durvis, tās funkcijas tie veic, protams, ka gribās arī sākt atjaunot un restaurēt, bet man liekas nevajag steigties, mums nav šī vieta, lai mēs to izdarītu gada laikā, tas nav pat divu gadu laikā, mums ir jāizbauda tas process, jāizbauda tas laiks, ko mēs te darām.”

Sestdien, 6. decembrī, Ventspils koncertzālē "Latvija" viesosies pasaulē atzīti mūziķi, kurus saista ilgstoša radoša sadarbība, - akordeoniste Ksenija Sidorova un mandolīnas spēles virtuozs Avi Avitals - balvas Opus Klassik laureāts un ierakstu nama Deutche Grammophon mākslinieks.  Ksenijas iepriekšējā uzstāšanās Ventspilī notika 2023. gadā koncertzāles "Latvija" ceturtās dzimšanas dienas koncertā, un, gaidot atgriešanos viņa atklāj, ka spēlēt Latvijas klausītājiem vienmēr ir notikums: Mums ir publika, kura ļoti labi visu spēj saklausīt, zina klasisko mūziku un visu, ko spēlēsim." Sadarbība ar Avi Avitalu ilgst jau vairāk nekā desmit gadus: "Laiks skrien. Nesen mums bija kopīga jubileja, ko krāšņi atzīmējām Londonas Vigmora zālē. Domāju, ka mums abiem ļoti patīk spēlēt vienam ar otru. Pirmā programma bija balstīta folklorā un klasiskajā mūzikā, kas kaut ko aizguvusi no folkloras. Tā mēs sākām, tad pakāpeniski nonācām līdz Mocartam un daudz kam sarežģītākam. Atskaņojam arī laikmetīgo mūziku. Tagad mūsu programma ir tik daudzpusīga, ka plānojam iekļaut visu mūsu koncertā, jo katrs koncerts mums ir kā ceļojums, kur ceļojam ne tikai pa valstīm, bet arī laikmetiem. (..) Ja cilvēki turpina spēlēt kopā tik daudz gadu kā mēs, tad tur ir kaut kas kopīgs - kopīga attieksme pret skaņdarbu vai vispār mūziku, vai pret dzīvi. Kaut kam tur jāsakrīt. Mēs esam ļoti labi draugi gan dzīvē, gan uz skatuves, tā kā kaut kas kopīgs mums ir.

A showdown between two Sydney content creators at an influencer event has captivated TikTok. The confrontation, which has been compared to a Real Housewives brawl, was captured by one of the women at the centre of it. Adelle Petropoulous has confirmed the real reason behind her shock decision to cancel her wedding, just three months out from the big day. Isabelle Mathers is the new owner of Ellie Watson’s much-loved Gold Coast Hinterland mansion. The estate was so popular it became the nation’s most viewed property heading into its auction according to Real Estate.com.au. US beauty influencer James Charles has ruffled feathers after a trip to the Bunnings. Sophie Jane Miller has been left stunned after spotting Justin and Hayley Bieber in a Fish market in Japan. Sunrise reporter Katie Brown has been slammed online, after weighing into the TikTok racism row. Follow Outspoken on Instagram and TikTok, plus join in on the conversation in our Facebook Community.

You don't know what you don't know - until you do.And this month, we learned that nothing says “happy birthday, friend” quite like a handwritten card that's been delicately seasoned with dog backwash... Parenthood really is the gift that keeps on giving!In our November catch up, we chat through the birthday bedlam, the Christmas gifts we've not started purchasing, and the ongoing experiment of raising kids, horses and puppies... a combination we're convinced should come with its own survival guide.But woven through the laughs is something softer. With the recent loss of Valegro and Uthopia this week, we found ourselves talking about the horses - and reins - that have slipped through our fingers in more recent times. The ones who carried us, changed us, held our confidence when we couldn't, and left us trying to recreate that connection again and again. You don't realise how much a horse becomes part of your life story until you're suddenly riding the trail without them.We also get into the joys (and utter bamboozlement) of saddle fitting, the highs and lows of winter pony adventures, and the general juggling act of being equestrian mums trying to keep everyone - and ourselves - vaguely pointing in the right direction.If you're listening from the yard, on the school run, or hiding in the boot room for five minutes of peace, we hope this episode brings you a laugh, a nod of recognition, and maybe even a bit of comfort. We're all learning as we go.---

The Victorian government is investigating mothers’ groups and a homeschooling network run by neo-Nazis. Experts say these groups can often end up as patriarchal cults with coercive control. In this episode of The Briefing, Natarsha Belling is joined by far-right researcher Dr Kaz Ross, who explains what’s really fuelling this far-right extremism and why governments need to listen. Headlines: Bruce Lehrmann has lost his latest defamation appeal, Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned that if pushed, Russia is ready for war, and Anika Wells is under fire after revelations that taxpayers footed a massive bill for a New York event promoting Australia’s teen social media ban.

Motherhood is often sold as “natural” and intuitive - but for so many women, it feels overwhelming, confusing and nothing like they expected. In this episode of A Millennial Mind, I sit down with parenting expert Zoe Blaskey to explore the real, science-backed identity shift of motherhood, from hormonal changes and brain remodelling to the emotional load no one prepares us for. We talk about why becoming a mum can feel like a second adolescence, how societal pressure fuels burnout, and why guilt shows up even when we're doing our best. Zoe shares practical tools for setting boundaries, finding yourself again, strengthening your partnership, and making motherhood feel lighter, calmer and more intentional. If you're a mum, planning to be one, or simply curious about the truth behind the transition into motherhood, this conversation will help you feel seen, supported and less alone.

In this episode of Healthy Her, host Amelia Phillips dives into one of the most overlooked challenges facing modern mums: loneliness. You might be surrounded by people, at the school gate, at work, in your community, yet still feel disconnected. A quick scroll through any mums’ Facebook group shows just how many women are feeling the same way. And here’s the truth: deep, meaningful friendships are one of the strongest predictors of long-term health and happiness, yet they’ve never felt harder to build or maintain. To unpack this, Amelia is joined by best friends Di Edwards and Nicola Dale, who met over the back fence on Sydney’s Northern Beaches and later turned their heart-to-heart chats into the hit podcast Over the Back Fence. Together, they explore why so many mums are feeling lonely, what gets in the way of connection, and how to create friendships that truly nourish you. About the guests: Nicola Dale: Is the co-host of the 'Over the Back Fence Podcast,' reaching a global audience with uplifting lifestyle episodes from finance to relationships. With 34 years as an international cabin crew member, specialising in business and first-class service, she enjoyed also being a 'Sommelier in the Sky.'

Kāpēc mēs pieņemam lēmumus, kas ir pretrunā ar mūsu labākajām interesēm? Profesors Jurģis Šķilters, Latvijas Universitātes Uztveres un kognitīvo sistēmu laboratorijas vadītājs, parāda realitāti – cilvēks nekad nav pilnībā racionāls. Mēs nezinām visas alternatīvas, esam ārkārtīgi jutīgi pret emocijām, un mūsu lēmumus milisekunžu laikā ietekmē pat tik sīkas lietas kā tas, vai turām rokā siltu vai aukstu dzērienu. Intervijā uzzināsi, kāpēc ilgtermiņa atmiņai nevar uzticēties (tā mūs saudzē, transformējot pieredzi), kā mūs manipulē sociālajos tīklos, izmantojot trīs vienkāršus principus, un kāpēc personība, lai gan daļēji ģenētiska, tomēr mainās dzīves laikā.Sarunā profesors dalās arī praktiskos atklājumos – kā rakstīšana ar roku palīdz labāk mācīties nekā drukāšana ar klaviatūru, kā oža ir tieši saistīta ar mūsu dziļākajām emocijām un atmiņām, un kāpēc telpiskā domāšana ir pamats visām abstraktajām zināšanām - no matemātikas līdz fizikai.Ja tu domā, ka zini, kā darbojas tavs prāts – šī intervija tevi pārsteigs. Un ja tu meklē atbildes, kā kļūt labākam lēmumu pieņēmējam – šeit atradīsi zinātniski pamatotus ieskatus, kurus vari pielietot jau šodien.Ja šī vai kāda cita Cilvēkjaudas saruna tev noderēja vai bija interesanta, uzsauc Cilvēkjaudai virtuālo “kafiju”. Tā tu mums palīdzēsi segt gabaliņu no podkāsta izdevumiem, lai varam to turpināt.Šo epizodi filmējām Power-Up SPACE Rīgas centrā. Te ir viss, kas nepieciešams – moderni aprīkotas studijas un arī daudzpusīgas telpas pasākumiem, kur rīkot apmācības, prezentācijas, filmu vakarus un pat konferences ar skaistu skatu uz Rīgu.

Latvijas autobraucējiem joprojām lielas problēmas sagādā braukšana krēslas stundās. Šajā laikā izraisīto ceļu satiksmes negadījumu skaits turpina pieaugt. Ko pie stūres darām nepareizi laikā, kad visa diena var būt kā nebeidzama krēslas stunda? Raidījumā Kā labāk dzīvot analizē Ceļu satiksmes drošības dienesta satiksmes drošības eksperts Oskars Irbītis un Drošas braukšanas skolas apmācību direktors Edmunds Ozolnieks. Runājot par uzmanības novēršanu pie stūres, Oskars Irbītis min, ka skandināvu speciālisti runā ne tikai par telefoniem, bet traucēt var arī bulciņa, kafija. "Mums ir tādi multidarītāji - vienā rokā glāze, otrā - hamburgers un ar ceļgalu stūrē," bilst Oskars Irbītis. Edmunds Ozolnieks norāda, ka viņš regulāri kursos jautā autovadītājiem, kurš māk ar kājām stūrēt. Reti kurš nepaceļ roku. "Mūsu ikdienas ritms prasa daudz manipulācijas darīt vienlaicīgi, tajā brīdī mēs aizmirstam. Bet kad veic kādu darbību, pilnībā esi novērsies no ceļa, pauze jau neiestājas, tu turpini braukt," vērtē Edmunds Ozolnieks. "Īpaši, ja brauc ārpus pilsētas, kur liela problēma ir dzīvnieki. Alnis jau neizmāks uz ceļa ar karodziņu - hei, es nāku! Un vēl ar atstarotāju. Kad leks, tad leks un skries.  Mēs esam braukšanas sajūtu nolaiduši līdz automātismam, mūsu iekšējais ķermenis strādā kā autopilotā un mums neliekas, ka tas ir kaut kas sarežģīts. Tanī brīdī arī varam daudzas lietas darīt, nepadomājot, ka novēršamies no pamatlietas, no no braukšanas. Tā zaudējam koncentrāciju uz ceļu un iegūstam negadījumus."

Šobrīd dienas garums Latvijā ir nieka septiņas stundas. Tas ir gauži maz. Turpinām septembra raidījumā aizsākto sarunu par to, kā pēc iespējas pilnvērtīgāk izmantot šo cilvēka fiziskai un mentālai veselībai nozīmīgo resursu. Raidījumā Kā labāk dzīvot stāsta gaismas un cirkadiāno ritmu pētniece Baiba Bieļa un gaismas arhitekte Ilze Leduskrasta-Buša. Rīgas ielās sastaptajiem iedzīvotājiem jautājam, kā viņus ietekmē gada tumšākais laiks un kas palīdz justies labāk? "Mums pašiem sev ir jāpavaicā, cik daudz laika pavadām iekštelpas no visa diennakts laika? Ir vairāki pētījumi, kuros konstatēts, ka vidēji iekštelpās pavadām 90% no diennakts. Tas ir milzīgs apjoms. Ja vēl ir izpratne, cik nelielā apjomā mākslīgais apgaismojums spēj pieklibot līdzi tam, ko saulīte dod, būtu jāveidojas vēlmei mainīt savu dzīves veidu mainīt," vērtē Ilze Leduskrasta-Buša.  "Rīta un pusdienas pauzēs vajadzētu būt dabiskai vēlmei iziet ārā nevis turpināt sēdēt telpās." "Jaudīgākais acij izturamais mākslīgais apgaismojums ir desmitkārt vājāks nekā tas apjoms, ko saņemam ārā dabiskajā apgaismojumā. Turklāt mākslīgais apgaismojums ir limitēts un nav pilnā spektrā. Saules un dienas gaisma dod pilnu spektru," turpina Ilze Leduskrasta-Buša. "Tieši tāpēc dienas vidus pauzē izejot ārā 20 minūtes, mēs jau saņemam tik reizes vairāk [pilna spektra gaismas], cik visas dienas garumā nesaņemam pie laba mākslīgā apgaismojuma."

Šogad labdarības maratona "Dod pieci!" vadmotīvs ir palīdzība bērniem un jauniešiem ar neiroloģiskiem kustību traucējumiem. Vienlaikus maratona laikā uzmanība tiks pievērsta arī sabiedrības mazkustīgumam. Kā tikt galā ar šo milzīgo problēmu? Raidījumā Kā labāk dzīvot vērtē Latvijas Radio raidījuma "Digitālās brokastis" vadītājs Artis Ozoliņš, fiziskās izaugsmes treneris Roberts Radičuks un P.Stradiņa klīniskās universitātes slimnīcas Fizikālās medicīnas un rehabilitācijas centra vadītāja Anda Nulle. Par motivāciju kustēties un būt aktīviem vaicājam Esterei, Viktorijai, Natai un Renāram, kurus sastapām kādā Rīgas sporta klubā agrā rīta stundā. Mēģinām atrast labus iemeslus, lai sāktu kustēties. Artis Ozoliņš uzsver drauga lomu, lai pievērstos aktīvākām kustībām. "Ja tev ir kāds, kas pasaka - klau, varbūt izejam pastaigā, varbūt aizejam uz sporta zāli kopā, pēdējos 2-3 mēnešus man ir draugs, kurš tā pateica, šobrīd mums jau ir aktīvi treniņi divreiz nedēļā," atklaj Artis Ozoliņš. "Nav jau tā, ka es pirms tam pats par to neaizdomājos, ka tā būtu laba lieta. Nav jau tā, ka nebiju dzirdējis gudrus cilvēkus, kas saka, ka vajadzētu pavingrināt ķermeni vairāk par skraidīšanu un staigāšanu, bet drauga loma manā gadījumā bija ļoti svarīga, ka ir kāds, kurš saka - klau, atnāc ar mani, parādīšu, ko es daru, varbūt iepatīkas. Tas ir ir jānovērtē. Drauga plecs ir svarīgs." Anda Nulle norāda, ka kustība ir vajadzība arī tiem cilvēkiem, kam ir funkcionēšanas traucējumi, cilvēkiem, kas ir ratiņkrēslos, pārvietojas ar palīglīdzekļiem. "Ja apmēram puse relatīvi veselu cilvēku nodarbojas ar fiziskām aktivitātēm, tad cilvēki ar funkcionāliem traucējumiem tikai ¼ daļa nodarbojas ar fiziskām aktivitātēm kaut cik pieņemamā apjomā," norāda Anda Nulle. "Es vairāk domāju, kā iesaistīt cilvēkus ar funkcionāliem traucējumiem sportā, aktivitātēs, kas dod dzīves jēgu un garšu." "Varbūt, ka vajag ierakstīt likumā, ka visiem ir jākustas. Redzēs, kas no tā sanāks," vērtē Anda Nulle, analizējot Solijas pieredzi. "Noteikti samazināsies darba nespējas lapu daudzums, uzlabosies veselība, mazināsies mirstība un viss, ko mēs ļoti labi zinām, bet ikdienā varbūt par to nedomājam. Ja kāds mums no ārpuses pabaksta, tad mēs vismaz mirklīti kustamies. Jebkurš līdzeklis, kas palīdz kustēties, ir apsveicams, kaut vai tas ir likums." Roberts Radičuks piebilst, ka ir jānovērtē ikdienišķas lietas, kas rada kustību prieku un varbūt notiek nemanāmi. "Kad iešu pārgājienā pa mežu, salasīšu čiekurus, kas ir taktilās izjūtas, ielikšu kabatā, pēc tam pārdomāšu veikto maršrutu, manī veidosies pozitīvās izjūtas. Visi šie komponenti tiek iesaistīti. Daudzas lietas darām, bet nenosaucam vārdos. Mums jānovērtē kāpšana pa kāpnēm, spēja uzkāpt Bastejkalnā bez aizdusas," uzskata Roberts Radičuks.

The conversation around phone screen time - and how much is too much - usually centres around children and teens. But new research has highlighted the impact of phone use by another group - new mums. Any tired parent will tell you that screen time can be a welcome source of distraction, but it turns out it can also interfere with parent/child bonding and a baby's development. Dr Miriam McCaleb from the University of Canterbury is lead researcher on the study, she talks to Jesse.
