Have you ever wondered if you're doing something wrong because your baby won't sleep the way you were told they “should”?Because it's not just the broken sleep.It's the pressure. The timelines. The numbers. The feeling that everyone else has it figured out, and you somehow missed the memo.This episode is part of The Science of Motherhood Summer Series, where Dr Renee White revisits some of your favourite conversations, the ones that made you feel calmer, more informed, and less alone.In this replay, Renee is joined by Dr Laura Gainche Ph.D., a Family Sleep Educator with a background as a neuroscientist and sleep scientist. Through her Scienceforallwomen platform, Laura helps parents turn sleepless into more blissful nights using science and connection, and supports families to find their own unique way to parent at night.Together, Renee and Laura unpack how modern sleep expectations have been shaped, why the “12-hour night” has become such a powerful benchmark, and what the research actually shows about normal baby sleep. It's a conversation that offers science, yes, but also permission to breathe out and stop treating night waking like a personal failure.Together they explore:Why the “12-hour night” expectation sets so many families up to feel like they're failingWhat sleep research actually shows about normal baby sleep and night wakingWhy the “best” approach at night depends on your family, not one set of rulesHow fear-based sleep messaging can fuel guilt and self-doubtWhat it can look like to find your way at night, with science and connectionIf baby sleep has been making you question yourself, this conversation is a steadying one. Share it with a parent who needs the reminder that they're not broken, and hit subscribe so you don't miss the next replay.Resources & Links

We have all heard the term "Life Coach" but what does it actually mean? What does a LIfe Coach do? Trisha Gudka was at a dangerous point in her life. The joy was gone. As a mom of two young children the expectations and realities did not line up. This led to unhappiness and depression. She was at a critical moment. Fortunately, Trisha was able to find resources, tools, and practices that brought her out of deperession and into happiness, joy, and love. Now, she spends her life helping other mums who want it do the same. This interview is so relatable. We all know the moment of responding to our children in a way that is disconnected, not present, and even unkind. We wish we had done better. This is where Trisha's work comes in. She helps busy mums who are looking for it find tools and resources to help them get connected to their life again. To help them do what might feel impossible... find joy in the every day. I know it sounds grandiose or like a pipe dream. But a lot of people experience a major shift when they use the right tools and practices. Trisha spends her days not only finding tools and resources but learning how to put them into practice. She runs group coaching programs so that mums can learn together and from each other. Trisha's work provides hope-- often times to those who need it the most; mums. Listen in as Trisha shares her vulnerable story, what led her to this work, and how she does it.

Shop it hereRecipe: A festive Christmas Quencher (non-alcoholic punch) — hydrating, celebratory and perfect for Christmas Eve sipping. Lil's Mums text about the quencher reads: It starts with a lemon/sugar syrup -maybe 1 cup of sugar, juice of 2 lemons, 1 cup of water long strips of the lemon rind (use vegetable peeler) big sprigs of mint. Boil together till sugar dissolves. Cool leaving rind and mint in the syrup until you put the quencher together. Add the strained quencher base to a large tin of pineapple juice, ginger ale and soda water.Ps while we're talking about Lil's Mum the naked reference quote from this weeks chat is here A very Merry Christmas from us to you, we're so grateful to be in all the seasons alongside you.

Mums priekšā ir krietns brīvdienu skaits. Kāpēc gan tās neizmantot, lai vismaz kādu dienu vai divas neveltītu aktīvai atpūtai dabā? Par ziemas dabas takām runājam raidījumā Kā labāk dzīvot. Kurp doties, iesaka ceļotāja Alīna Andrušaite, dabas pētnieks, vēsturnieks Andris Grīnbergs un "TravelFree" pārstāvis Edgars Plešs. Latvijā ir gan daudz kur ceļot arī ziemā. Tomēr ziema ir savā ziņā riskantākais laiks ceļojumiem, jo ir salīdzinoši maz gaismas, daudzviet ir slidens. Bet tas nenozīmē, ka jāsēž mājās. Izkustēties noteikti vajag. Galvenais ir saņemties piecelties no dīvāna un doties ārā. Un tad jau iespējās daudz un dažādas tuvākā un tālākā apkārtnē, atliek tik izvēlēties. Gaismiņas var baudīt Ogrē, var vienkārši pastaigāties pa Rīgu, var izvēlēties kādu maršruti Gaujas Nacionālajā parkā, var doties uz Latgales pusi, var staigāt Skrīveru un Aizkraukles apkārtnē. Var braukt uz Kurzemes pusi, izvēlēties, piemēram, Kandavu. Uz Jelgavu var doties tiem, kam patīk pilsētas apceļot. Tiesa, Latvijā jārēķinās, ka daudzviet var nokļūt tikai ar personīgo mašīnu ne sabiedrisko transportu.
Have you been scrolling past everyone's overseas holiday photos and feeling that quiet pang of “we can't afford that right now”?And even if a local getaway sounds doable, you might be thinking about the packing, the nap timing, the feeding stuff, the toddler meltdowns, and wondering if it's even worth the effort.In this episode, Dr Renee White shares practical, mum-tested tips for planning a staycation that actually feels like a break. Not perfect. Not Instagrammable.

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.

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.

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.

In this episode, we dig deep into society's idealised image of family. We explore where this cookie-cutter vision comes from, how it's shaped expectations, and why it often leaves single mums and their children feeling like outsiders. And what can we do about it?
