Het is een week vol vastgoed: Lies bemachtigde een tiny house, Aaf deed een tiny verbouwing. Mannen hebben vaak een tiny room of schuur waar ze hun tiny of niet zo tiny hobby's in beoefenen. Sleutelen, bijen houden, iets met LP's, drones of gewoon barbecueën met een moeilijk schort aan: mannen zijn over het algemeen goed in het onderhouden van een set hobby's, en vrouwen minder. Zou het iets met ruimte innemen te maken kunnen hebben?We visualiseren onze ideale schuur of kamer alwaar wij hobbymatig geheel uit ons dak zouden kunnen gaan, en na het essentiële element – een apparaat met druppelende filterkoffie – komt er halverwege de fantasie zelfs een geheel paludarium om de hoek kijken.Een luisteraar krijgt tips zodat hij de volgende vakantie niet steeds hoeft te dealen met zijn kind dat verveeld en/of woedend is, en de goeroes van de week zijn man, reeds overleden, en oprichters van een hemelse plek.
Virginia Woolf, Jane Cholmeley, and authors who wrote too much or not enough – welcome to episode 129! In the first half, we use a great topic suggestion by David – do we prefer authors who wrote too many books

In episode 52, we welcome back Ben Vanstone (ALL CREATURES GREAT & SMALL), showrunner, executive producer, and writer for the much-anticipated drama series, A GENTLEMAN IN MOSCOW (Paramount+ SHOWTIME). The 8-part series is based on author Amor Towles's internationally bestselling novel of the same name (one of the podcast's recommended 2023 Summer Reads.) The story centers on the life of Count Alexandre Rostov, played by Ewan McGregor, who, in the aftermath of the Russian Revolution, finds that his gilded past has placed him on the wrong side of history. Spared immediate execution, Count Rostov is banished by a Soviet tribunal to an attic room in the opulent Hotel Metropol and threatened with death — that is he will be shot – if he ever sets foot outside again. As the years pass and some of the tumultuous decades in Russian history fold outside the hotel's doors, Rostov's reduced circumstances provide him entry into a much larger world of emotional discovery. As he builds a new life within the walls of the hotel, he discovers the true value of friendship, family, and love. Download the transcript for Epsiode 52 from this link.

1929 erschien "A Room of One's Own", in dem Virginia Woolf der Frage nachgeht, wie Frauen und Literatur zusammenpassen. Sie denkt über die Darstellung von Frauen in Büchern nach, aber auch über die Gründe, warum so wenige Frauen es geschafft haben, in die Literaturgeschichte einzugehen. Familie, fehlende Ressourcen, Misogynie sind nur einige der Hürden, die sie identifiziert. Letztlich ist es ein hoffnungsvolles Buch: In hundert Jahren, so Virginia Woolf, werden Frauen bessere Voraussetzungen haben, um zu schreiben. Wir fragen uns, ob das stimmt und was uns diese berühmte Klassikerin noch heute sagen kann.

Righteous anger can be useful .... if applied to the right people.'A Room Of One's Own' by Virginia Woolf is an essay critiquing woman's literature and female authors. Her core argument is that the lack of financial means, privacy and strict social norms has resulted in the inability for females to write great books. And that it is not due inherent feminine weakness or lack of genius. She also emphasises that women need to write in their own voice and spends a fair bit of time criticising authors like Charlotte Brontë and Mary Carmichael who don't do this adequately (in her opinion).Would love to hear your feedback and appreciate any support you wish to give :)Timeline:(0:00) - Intro(1:49) - Themes/Questions(16:23) - Author & Extras(20:22) - Summary(23:05) - Value 4 Value(24:58) - Join Live!Value 4 Value Support:Boostagram: https://www.meremortalspodcast.com/supportPaypal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/meremortalspodcastConnect with Mere Mortals:Website: https://www.meremortalspodcast.com/Discord: https://discord.gg/jjfq9eGReUTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/meremortalspodInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/meremortalspodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@meremortalspodcast

In this episode I explore the relationship between our inner and outer rooms - that is the space inside that holds aspects of ourselves - especially our creative parts - and the places outside where we actually do our creating. It's about creating and claiming space for what we are called to do.This eposide was inspired by a post that I published under the title "A room of one's own" on September 20, 2017, which is here: "https://www.lifeinfullcolor.com/life-stories/september-20-2017-room-ones/" if you'd like to read what I wrote and see photos of Sue's studio.Cara Brown - Watercolorist - Teacher - www.lifeinfullcolor.com...is where you can find all my paintings, workshop offerings and the entire archive of my writing.

Today we speak with Alex Sinickas - engineer, mother and creator of Milkdrop breast pump silicone cushions. Alex experienced a traumatic start to motherhood with a stillbirth at 20 weeks and openly shares her dark journey through grief and how it has shaped her today. Becoming a mother to daughter Greta, Alex then struggled with breastfeeding and pumping which led her to create a product to empower breastfeeding women. Alex is super clever and gave us a different perspective on motherhood as she challenges the ‘stay at home' mother paradigm. This is a trigger warning - in this episode we discuss sensitive topics such as stillbirth and intrusive thoughts, so please listen mindfully and reach out for support if you need. We've put some helpful resources in the show notes.This episode is sponsored by The Plant Fam, a family owned business on the Mornington Peninsula that offers a wide range of indoor and outdoor plants.SHOW NOTES:1. For information or support relating to miscarriage, stillbirth and grief we recommend contacting SANDS. Sands is a volunteer-based organisation providing individualised care from one bereaved parent to another, giving them support and hope for the future, following the death of a baby. 2.

Alex mentions author Virginia Woolf and recommends reading on of her books entitled 'A Room Of One's Own'. This is about women that need their own space to able to create things of worth. And back in the 20's, when this was written, they couldn't really do that!

Amy discusses Virginia Woolf's A Room of One's Own with guest Susannah Harmon Furr. Listen to the full episode https://breaking-down-patriarchy.captivate.fm/episode/a-room-of-ones-own-by-virginia-woolf (here).
Amy: Welcome to Breaking Down Patriarchy! I'm Amy McPhie Allebest. Today we will be discussing A Room of One's Own, published in 1929, by Virginia Woolf. This book has a very different tone than the other books we've read so far - whereas other texts have undertaken the work of illuminating lost history, or calling societies to action, or cutting through philosophical error with the sharp knife of reason, Virginia Woolf's work is like talking with a friend or hearing the internal dialogue in your own head. This book is very much in the moment of 1929 England, but it's also timeless in her stream-of-consciousness observations about what it feels like to be a thinking woman. I found A Room of One's Own to be absolutely essential reading - I thought it was informative and kind of infuriating, but also validating and healing. And I can't wait to discuss it with my reading partner today, Susannah Furr. Hi, Susannah! Susannah: Hi, Amy! Amy: I am so so excited to have you here, Susannah. Susannah and I met in 2005 when my husband was completing his MBA and her husband was completing his PhD in Technology Strategy at Stanford. Our families were living in student housing, and Susannah had just had her fourth baby and I was pregnant with my third, in the tiniest little student apartments. But we shared these huge, glorious courtyards with other student families from all over the world, and our kids would ride their bikes and play imaginative games in the sandbox and just basically run feral from sunup to sundown. Susannah and I became dear friends in the courtyard, and also on morning runs around campus, where we would talk and talk about every subject under the sun. But we haven't lived in the same country for a long time and I've really missed you, so I'm super excited to have this time with you today. Could you start off by telling us about yourself? Where you're from, what you love, and just some things that make you you? Sus: I share the fond memories, Amy! It was a really unique time and we made the most of it--I loved our conversations and am looking forward to this one. I was born in 1973 in LA while my dad was in med school--the 4th of what would end up to be a family of 8 kids. At age 2 my family moved to a small town in SW Washington where I lived until my family moved to Provo, Utah when I was a junior in high school. I went to BYU where I met my husband, Nathan, during freshman year in a writing class and we joined a writing project together about zombies. We both served LDS missions (his in Ontario and Quebec and mine in Netherlands and Flemish-speaking Belgium) and then got married in October 1996 just three months after getting home. I was really prepared to stay at home with kids and love it--I think I wanted five. My mom had been such a cozy loving force in my and my siblings' lives and made it look so easy... but ultimately stay-at-home motherhood tortured me from the beginning for many reasons we can get into later. My Mom studied English Literature at university and is a great writer... which is something I'm grateful for because it encouraged my own love of the humanities which I studied as an undergrad. And then again as a masters student in Art History--a degree I started after about a five year break from university during which time I had my first two kids and realized I really wasn't cut out for being at home all day with kids while living in Boston where Nathan worked two years as a management consultant….) So we had moved back to Provo so that Nathan could start an MBA--a good but cheap one--before going on to pursue a PhD in Business. And I was able to last minute join the program I had applied to five years earlier but never started. It was an exhilarating time in my life as I literally squeezed my reading, writing and studying for exams into tiny little slots of time in between kids naps and preschool shifts. We also had our third baby during that
