Podcasts about My Mother

In a career spanning four decades, Dame Kristin Scott Thomas has become one of Britain's most celebrated actors: Four Weddings and a Funeral, The English Patient, The Horse Whisperer, Tell No One and Slow Horses, alongside acclaimed stage work including her Olivier‑winning performance in The Seagull. Yet her path was far from straightforward: discouraged at drama school, she moved to Paris as an au pair and rebuilt her training from scratch. Her childhood had already been shaped by profound loss after the deaths of her father and stepfather in near‑identical accidents. She has now channelled these experiences into her directorial debut, My Mother's Wedding, which she also co‑wrote and stars in, alongside Scarlett Johansson, Sienna Miller and Emily Beecham. We talk about her early grief, the emotional armour she built as a teenager, the chaotic experience of filming with Prince, making My Mother's Wedding, the power of women writing women, her unforgettable Fleabag monologue and the joy and clarity she has found in her 60s. ✨ IN THIS EPISODE: 00:00 Intro 03:15 Reclaiming a Tragic Narrative 04:59 Joy in her 60s 06:22 Co Writing With Her Husband 07:03 Animation and Childhood Memory 09:07 Casting and Creative Reunions 12:23 Failure One: Prince Film Debut 17:06 Fame Theater and Radical Roles 24:09 Under the Cherry Moon Lessons 25:28 Failure Two: Teenage Grief 26:24 Childhood Losses 27:58 Eldest Sibling Burden 28:37 Acting Through Sadness 29:59 English Patient Reflections 33:19 Four Weddings Role 36:39 Therapy and Healing 43:41 Grief Advice and Faith 45:45 Football and Identity 49:16 Aging and Gratitude

Say the word ambition, especially around women, and it brings up a complicated mix of emotions and beliefs.If you're not succeeding, you're not ambitious enough. If you are succeeding, wanting a lot, and going for it, you're too ambitious, and you get penalized or punished. It happens at work, at home, and in the communities we move through every day.There are so many mixed messages about ambition and success coming at us from every direction. And it's not just imposed from the outside.For many women, those messages get internalized and shape the way we present ourselves and communicate about our work and personal lives. We start to police our own ambition, and we police each other's ambition.My guest today names the invisible norms around women's ambitions, and calls out the ways that organizations perpetuate bias, even as they think they're playing fair. Her work is extensively researched, tracing the roots of the tension around ambition, and also offers language and an opportunity for us to reclaim our ambitions together. Stefanie O'Connell is an award-winning journalist and author of The Ambition Penalty: How Corporate Culture Tells Women to Step Up– and Then Pushes Them Down. Her work dismantles the myths keeping women from equitable pay, leadership and power — one data point at a time.Listen to the full episode to hear:The material costs of what happens when women speak up, lean in, and get ambitiousHow implicit and gendered double standards around power keep women out of leadershipWhy encouraging ambition in girls doesn't translate into celebrating ambition in womenHow people and organizations that believe they are meritocratic end up reinforcing the most biasWhy we can't self-optimize our way out of systemic inequality, and why we need collective actionSix key elements for reframing burnout as an environmental problem, not a personal oneWhy we need to push back against framing women being pushed out of the work force as “empowerment” and challenge sexism in our everyday lives Learn more about Stefanie O'Connell:WebsiteToo Ambitious on SubstackInstagram: @stefanieoconnellThreads: @stefanieoconnellTikTok: @stefaniemoconnellThe Ambition PenaltyLearn more about Rebecca:rebeccaching.comWork With RebeccaThe Unburdened Leader on SubstackSign up for the weekly Unburdened Leader EmailResources:EP 155: Hidden Cost of Caretaking at Work: Nilofer Merchant on Invisible Norms Limiting Your LeadershipStop Punishing Women for Being Ambitious | BloombergMaslach, Christina.

A woman who enjoys multiple orgasms doesn't understand why, physiologically, all woman can't come over and over and over. Like she can. A gay man wants a new word for the practice of rubbing dicks together, other than "frotting." On the Magnum, Dan interviews Tracy Clark-Flory whose memoir ⁠My Mother's Daughter ⁠, brought Dan to tears. It encompasses feminism, racism, parenting, adoption and so much more. They also take a call from a teacher who is grappling with teaching little kids about consent. And, a woman was horrified to hear about straight women groping men at gay bars, because they thought the guys there were fair use. A gay male friend countered that groping in gay bars was permissible because it's just their culture. Is it? Or is some consent required?

After a 2000 murder case went cold, Kentucky housewife Susan Galbreath did her own snooping. With the help of cooperative cops and a British journalist, she identified Quincy Cross as Jessica Currin's killer. Quincy got a life sentence and Susan became a local hero. But in a story already filled with inconsistencies and recantations, Susan never disclosed the original prime suspect was her friend's son. Now, Susan's own son is stepping forward with new evidence, saying her mother's tales should not be believed. From Message Heard and Sony Music Entertainment comes the podcast “My Mother's Lies.” Host Beth Karas explains how Galbreath and her enablers reshaped the investigation, diverting attention from one suspect to another. It asks whether money, recognition, and self-preservation drove a citizen sleuth to knowingly put the wrong man in prison. OUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS OF "MY MOTHER'S LIES" BEGIN IN THE FINAL 13 MINUTES OF THE EPISODE. In Crime of the Week: like shooting fish in a breakroom.

223: Kiki on Location: Nemea, My Mother's Homeland Kiki Vale takes Kefi Life on location to Greece where it all began in Nemea.  A stop at Nemea's oldest restaurant SOFOS is today topic. Today's Lexi:  Αρχαία – Archaia – Ancient In Today's Episode: “Eu Zyn” is a greeting that was introduced to me last July by host and SOFOS restaurant owner, Eirini Koroka. While rebranding Kefi Life, this phrase carried a powerful meaning—one that is best understood through experience rather than simply reading the words on a page. Like many Greek expressions, its meaning goes beyond a direct translation. The first two letters, Eu (Εὖ), appear at the beginning of Eu Zyn and in many other Greek words, conveying the idea of goodness, wellness, and living well. These two simple letters set the tone for a life of purpose and positivity. With that spirit in mind, let us continue our journey to Nemea, in the region of Corinth, Greece—a land steeped in history and mythology. Known as one of the four great Panhellenic sanctuaries, Nemea is also celebrated for its exceptional wine and as the birthplace of my beloved Manoula (mother), Katina. Hear all about what makes the food of Nemea so delicious, and learn what is the key to preparing a memorable meal. Erini Koroka, owner and chef of SOFOS is full of delightful shares. Resources: SOFOS on Trip Advisor SOFOS on Greek Gastronomy About SOFOS: In Ancient Nemea, SOFOS is the longest-running local dining establishment. Established in the 1950s by Mrs. Athena, the tavern has been passed down through three generations of the family and remains renowned for traditional Greek home-cooking and local Agiorgitiko wines.

Things get awkward on this week's Empire Podcast, folks. Not just because Chris Hewitt seems to be wearing a Skeletor mask for some of it, nor because he's so heat-addled that he forgets to introduce James Dyer properly. No, things get awkward because the team – Chris, James, Helen O'Hara, and Ben Travis – discuss whether it ever gets awkward for them when visiting film sets. Then, our intrepid quartet also discuss the week's movie news, including the shocking news of Paddington 4's potty-mouthed writers, and review Daniel Roher's Tuner, John Carney's Power Ballad, Kane Parsons' Backrooms, and Kristin Scott Thomas' directorial debut, My Mother's Wedding. Oh, and Chris sits down for a lovely chat with Leo Woodall, star of the excellent Tuner, and discovers that Woodall has some hidden talents. Enjoy!

Fear of abandonment is not a personality, it is a childhood blueprint that is still picking your partners for you. Your nervous system is not scanning the room for who will be good to you, it is scanning for someone who matches the unfinished business of your childhood.If you keep falling for unavailable people, anxious-attached pursuers, or avoidant partners who run when you get close, this video maps the exact mechanism underneath, why butterflies are a red flag, why healthy partners feel boring, and why no amount of self-soothing has stopped the cycle.Kenny Weiss is a relationship, communication, and childhood trauma recovery specialist. He teaches the Worst Day Cycle™, the Authentic Self Cycle™, and the Emotional Authenticity Method™. He goes where the attachment-style world stops: the operating system underneath the symptoms. Anxiously attached is not a diagnosis to manage, it is a blueprint to rewrite.The nervous system searches for someone who replicates childhood so it can finally win the love it could not get the first time. This is the engine underneath every repeat relationship. The butterfly feeling everyone tells you to chase is not chemistry, it is the exact emotional chemical cocktail your body releases when it meets someone whose emotional signature matches the parent who could not show up for you. Your brain says, this person feels like home, and you mistake recognition for love.Trauma bonding is not a sign of deep connection, it is intermittent reinforcement training the nervous system to associate unpredictability with intimacy. The love addict and the love avoidant are not opposites attracting, they are two halves of the same broken blueprint clicking together like puzzle pieces. The Emotional Authenticity Method™ is the six-step process that traces the abandonment panic back to its earliest origin and rewires the blueprint underneath, ending with Feelization, where the body builds a new emotional addiction to safe, consistent connection that replaces the chase.Kenny Weiss has helped thousands of adults stop picking the same person with a different face and rebuild attraction from the Authentic Self instead of the survival persona. His work is a blueprint rewrite, not symptom management.TOPICS COVEREDfear of abandonment, trauma bonding, love addict, love avoidant, why I keep picking the wrong person, anxious attachment, why butterflies are a red flag, trauma chemistry, pursue withdraw cycle, why healthy feels boring, intermittent reinforcement, codependent dance, Worst Day Cycle, Authentic Self Cycle, Emotional Authenticity Method, Kenny WeissTIMESTAMPS0:00 — The Five-Minute Stomach Knew1:30 — Why You Didn't Fall In Love, Your Wound Did3:00 — Butterflies Are A Red Flag5:00 — My Mother's Seven-Day Walking Coma7:00 — Trauma Blueprint Selection9:30 — Why Trauma Bonding Feels Like Love11:30 — The Worst Day Cycle Of Abandonment14:00 — Where The Attachment-Style World Stops15:30 — The Authentic Self Cycle Rewrite17:30 — The Emotional Authenticity Method20:00 — Why Healthy Partners Feel Boring21:30 — The Sixty-Second Experiment

When she was 16, journalist Tracy Clark-Flory found out that she had a long-lost sister. Her mother shared that as a teenager, she had given up a child for adoption, and the grief of that act had sent her to a mental institution. There was not much more that her mother shared, and Clark-Flory did not ask. But years after her mother's death, Clark-Flory set out to find her sister and learn more about why her mother could not keep her child.

Tracy Clark-Flory is a journalist, essayist, and author of the new memoir My Mother's Daughter: Finding Myself in My Family's Fractured Past, which Kirkus calls “powerful,” “deeply researched,” “lyrically written,” and “moving.” New York Times bestselling author Peggy Orenstein says Clark-Flory “connects the dots between her own life, the reader's, and the larger culture, turning the family story of a pregnant girl caught by the social forces of her time—around gender, race, class—into the story of all women: who we are as daughters, how we carry the relationships to our mothers long after they are gone, and how we are shaped, generationally, by the limits on our personal, sexual, and reproductive freedom.”She's also the author of the previous book Want Me: A Sex Writer's Journey into the Heart of Desire, an NPR Best Book of the Year. She has written for Cosmopolitan, The Cut, Elle, Esquire, Marie Claire, Glamour, The Guardian, The Washington Post, WIRED, Women's Health, and many others. Previously, she was a senior staff writer at Jezebel and a staff writer at Salon. She writes a weekly newsletter and co-hosts Dire Straights, a feminist podcast critiquing hetero love, sex, politics and culture. You can find more at tracyclarkflory.com.Music by Corey Quinn

There's a narrative among some that when you become a mother, your ambition should get quieter, your goals should get smaller, and you move to the background of your own life. That was not my experience.Motherhood didn't replace my purpose. It expanded it. Becoming a mother in the middle of law school meant navigating two major transformations at once. What came out of that season was a sharper, more intentional, and more focused version of who I am and what I'm building.Motherhood made me more accountable to my own potential, not less.In this episode of Branding Room Only, Paula T. Edgar gets personal about what that actually looked like: becoming a mother during law school, navigating her son's childhood cancer diagnosis, and the moment she decided she was no longer willing to stay in spaces that did not support her.1:24 – The impact of balancing high-level education with early parenthood2:12 – The difference in Paula's brand before and after becoming a mother3:45 – A surprising piece of advice about prioritization as a parent4:35 – How motherhood expanded my purpose instead of replacing it5:24 – How her son's diagnosis forced an overhaul of Paula's boundaries6:58 – The root question Paula asks to ensure her actions align with the legacy she wants to leave7:37 – Motherhood as a catalyst for increased accountability toward your own potentialMentioned In How Motherhood Sharpened My Personal BrandThe Life & Legacy of Joan Donna Griffith: A Conversation with Peter Griffith (Part 1 and Part 2)Lessons from My Mother, Hopes for My Daughter: On Mothering and What We Carry Forward7 Powerful Branding Lessons I've Learned From My SonPersonal Branding Strategy SessionsSubscribe to The Branding Room Only on YouTubeCall to ActionFollow & Review: If you enjoyed this episode, leave a 5-star review on your favorite podcast platform! Want more ways to grow your personal brand?

Welcome to another episode of Women Petpreneurs Presents Book Club. Today, we're diving into our latest book club pick, "The House of My Mother. By Shari Franke." Join us as Denise Heroux , Mary Oquendo, and Sacheen Mobley unpack this deeply disturbing memoir told from the perspective of the eldest daughter of the infamous Franke family. The discussion explores the complex dynamics of family, faith, and psychological manipulation within the Mormon community, as well as the slow, often invisible progression of abuse. We'll examine the way the story is told and what's left unsaid, the courage to break free, and the nuances of forgiveness and survival in the face of unimaginable trauma. Whether you've read the book, watched the documentary, or are just curious about the real-life events behind the headlines, this conversation is sure to challenge your perceptions and ignite important questions about resilience and recovery. Grab your coffee and settle in for a thought-provoking discussion!

Tracy Clark-Flory was 16 when she learned something that would change her world forever: She had a half sister she'd never met. Tracy's mother, Deborah, had gotten pregnant as a freshman in college. She'd given birth to a baby girl in secret and placed the baby for adoption. Tracy could tell that talking about this baby made her mom uncomfortable, so she didn't pry. But from that moment on, Tracy was full of questions. Where was this sister? What was her life like? Would she want to hear from Tracy if there was a way to get in touch? These days, Clark-Flory is a writer, and she is a mother herself. She has a new memoir coming out called “My Mother's Daughter: Finding Myself in My Family's Fractured Past.” In this episode of the “Modern Love” podcast, Clark-Flory tells Anna Martin how she finally got answers about her sister. She also shares what she found out about her mom: Turns out, there was so much more to her story, too. Subscribe today at nytimes.com/podcasts or on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

Nobody plans for the call—but sooner or later, it comes. In this episode of the Wicked Pissah Podcast, Chris Boyd sits down with award-winning financial journalist and author Beth Pinsker  to talk about the moment everything shifts—when you go from "concerned family member" to full-on financial caregiver. Drawing from her book My Mother's Money, Beth shares the early warning signs families often overlook, why having the "right" documents doesn't always mean you're actually prepared, and how quickly the emotional and financial weight can hit. As Beth puts it: "Financial red flags come first… handling money is a complicated higher function." This is a real-world conversation about what advisors need to understand—and what families wish they knew sooner. If your clients have aging parents (and they do), this episode isn't optional—it's essential listening. Find out more- https://bethpinsker.com

Laura and David Challen, son of Sally Challen and author of The Unthinkable, unravel the insidious and lifelong harm coercive control causes a child.  David speaks candidly about his lived experience, the realities of growing up with a coercively controlling father, and his horrifying experience at his mothers's trial where she was convicted of his fathers's murder.  Listen and find out what David discovered when he went through all the trial transcripts. It angered him so much he started to campaign for his mother's appeal and eventual successful release. David also recently joined Laura for an exclusive live event and the recording is available now in the Squad for those who want to go deeper on this conversation.

For more from Anna, you can read her New Yorker article, My Mother's Memory Loss, and Mine or order one of her amazing books. Also discussed: read about the new AI dementia glasses.
