The Barbell Mamas Podcast | Pregnancy, Postpartum, Pelvic Health
What if the most radical thing a mother can say is also the most honest: I adore my kid, and I hated being pregnant. We open that door and walk through it, using Sarah J. Maas's candid interview as a springboard to unpack the real forces shaping pregnancy, birth, and life after—especially for women who train.We talk about cultural scripts that demand constant gratitude while ignoring grief, body changes, and athletic identity. Then we zoom in on the moments where care breaks down: weight targets that reignite disordered eating, induction confusion, a chaotic C‑section, and the silence that follows. Informed consent is more than paperwork; it's shared language, aligned teams, and clear options delivered without shaming. We map out the questions to ask, why early pelvic health education matters, and how to set recovery expectations that respect timelines and variation.Mental health sits at the center. Coping through intensity works—until it doesn't. When training is limited by birth, injury, or grief, we need a wider toolkit: therapy, breathwork, mindfulness, yoga, nature, and reading that restores perspective. We connect those tools to practical postpartum planning so you can protect your nervous system and your goals. Finally, we confront the collision of work and early parenthood—deadlines, pumping, and the myth of “back to normal” at six to twelve weeks—offering strategies for advocacy and structural change that make performance sustainable.If you're an active mom, a pregnant athlete, or a partner who wants to help, this conversation gives you language, options, and the confidence to choose for yourself. Listen, share with a friend who needs nuance, and subscribe so you never miss our next deep dive. If this resonated, leave a review—it helps more mothers find evidence‑based support and a community that values the messy middle.___________________________________________________________________________Don't miss out on any of the TEA coming out of the Barbell Mamas by subscribing to our newsletter You can also follow us on Instagram and YouTube for all the up-to-date information you need about pelvic health and female athletes.

Spätestens nach dem Abi war Joána klar: Sie möchte soziale Arbeit studieren. Doch bevor sie sich wieder hinter ihren Schreibtisch klemmt und paukt, ist erstmal Zeit, die Welt außerhalb der Schule zu erkunden. Etwas mit Mehrwert soll es sein, etwas, was sie erfüllt. Auf der Suche nach ihrem „next big thing“ stieß Joána auf eine Stelle im Rahmen des Bundesfreiwilligendienstes, kurz Bufdi. Seit Oktober 2025 ist sie nun Teil des Teams der Stadtbüchereien Düsseldorf. Was sie da so macht und wieso die Arbeit hier so spannend ist, erzählt sie Lena im Interview – und packt direkt auch ihre Medientipps aus: • "Sharing" von Arno Strobel • "Das Reich der sieben Höfe" von Sarah J.

With claims that organs were removed from patients whose pathology showed no trace of disease, the Victorian Government has now referred the matter to the police.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: The Raven Scholar: "Everything is important!" When was the last time you were able to really sink your teeth into a fantasy? When was the last time you were really and truly surprised by a plot twist? Be honest. It may have been a while. The Raven Scholar is something that you can really sit with and reread. Laura Marie reread it 4x for this episode! Welcome to a fantasy that is enriched by the audio experience, that has footnotes, and contains a plot that is so expansive and detailed that even after 4x, Laura Marie is sure there are things she's missing. A book that has haunting the narrative down to a tee, The Raven Scholar combines plot lines into a story that has religion and belief warring with ambition and scheming. Truly, The Raven Scholar is a delight from start to finish. Jessica Marie was able to read through the book once, and the differences in reading experiences makes the conversations delightful. "Bullies are just men who don't know they are cowards."

The cousins finish “Part I: Armies and Allies” in Kingdom of Ash by Sarah J. Maas, book 8 in the Throne of Glass (TOG) series. Is Rolfe's pirate attitude cooler than Aedion's (yes)? How'd you process Dorian's dip? Wasn't watching Elide and Lorcan through the eyes of the others an A+ episode of tv? And, most importantly, Aelin is the best strategist we've got, right?

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Mockingjay Part 1 - The movie: "Everything old can be new again...like democracy." Remember when watching this movie was a form of escapism? Remember when the concept of the Hunger Games was horrifying and parents were up in arms? Remember all that? Good. Watch it again. ACOFAE is continuing the watch of The Hunger Games series with the third movie, Mockingjay: Part 1. Filled with a cast that is beyond talented, Katniss is struggling with her new life in District 13, after she was rescued from the Games. Peeta is a hostage of the Capital, and is not doing well and Katniss has to rally the people for revolution. With propos. That she isn't very good at. What follows is Katniss' journey of working through the scheming and the politics of 13, dealing with Snow and his cruelty, and figuring out her place in this new district. Hoorah? "Not one to waste it in rehearsal."
Cousins Síle and Teamhair are so close to finished with Part I of Kingdom of Ash by Sarah J. Maas. This is book 8 of the Throne of Glass (TOG) series - and is it ever epic. How bleak is the situation in Terrasen . . . can you stand it? Did you love the special effects courtesy of Dorian's invisible hands? How delicious are the introductions and reunions? We've got: Aelin and Hasar; Aelin and Chaol; Aelin and Yrene; Aelin and Falkan! Safe if you've read this far in the series and no cross Sarah J. Maas universe spoilers.

Tune in as Katrina (@katrinaslibrary) circles back around to 2CC so that she and Arthur can roll out their top ten books of 2025. Hoping that the growing subgenre of romantasy moves away from the likes of Rebecca Yarros and Sarah J. Maas, the importance of supporting armed resistance (including that which comes from Palestine), the deep flaws of Western liberalism, and the pervasive bigotry of anti-Asian racism and misogyny stand out as a few of the subjects on this episode.Create your podcast today! #madeonzencastrHere's how you can learn more about Palestine and IsraelHere's how you can keep up-to-date on this genocideHere's how you can send eSIM cards to Palestinians in order to help them stay connected onlineGood Word:• Katrina: Micro Rainbow• Arthur: The Third Rule of Time Travel by Philip Fracassi and Coffin Moon by Keith RossonReach out at email2centscritic@yahoo.com if you want to recommend things to watch and read, share anecdotes, or just say hello!Be sure to subscribe, rate, and review on iTunes or any of your preferred podcasting platforms!Follow Arthur on Twitter, Goodpods, StoryGraph, Letterboxd, and TikTok: @arthur_ant18Follow Arthur on Bluesky: @arthur-ant18Follow the podcast on Twitter: @two_centscriticFollow the podcast on Instagram: @twocentscriticpodFollow Arthur on GoodreadsCheck out 2 Cents Critic Linktree

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Bitten: “Never date a guy who's like your father.” ACOFAE realized that it's National Werewolf Day this week and figured, why not?! Why not throw it back to one of Laura Marie's very first werewolf books, very first thrifted book, and first book where everyone is 30+. That's right, everyone here in Kelly Armstrong's Bitten is over 30 and loves being a werewolf. Elena had to come around to it, but she also loves being a werewolf. It's the pack, and her ex fiancé, that are the issue. Instincts are hard to fight though and Elena is finding life away from the pack to be stifling, so when a series of crimes calls her back to her old life how can she resist? Join ACOFAE as they delight in supernatural creatures actually liking themselves while trying to solve a mystery, and cackle at Elena forgetting to call her current boyfriend. Priorities. The call of the wild and all that. Beg.

Abby joins Moira Donegan and Adrian Daub on one of our favorite podcasts, In Bed With the Right! The topic is romantasy - as a genre of fiction, as a publishing phenomenon, and, above all, as a cultural symptom. What do readers - and women specifically - find in romantasy narratives? How does reading relate to play, and fantasy to trauma and healing? The three explore all these questions and more!Texts include:Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Thorns and Roses seriesRebecca Yarros, Empyrean seriesJudith Herman, Trauma and Recovery Andrea Dworkin, Women HatingSigmund Freud, "Creative Writers and Daydreaming" (1907)Have you noticed that Freud is back?

Welcome back, book besties! ❄️✨ This week we're diving into A Court of Frost and Starlight by Sarah J. Maas and celebrating Winter Solstice with the Inner Circle! We're deep-diving every detail of this cozy, emotionally loaded little novella that does so much heavy lifting for what's to come.Stay tuned for Part 2, coming next week!
For this episode, Moira and Adrian are joined by Abby Kluchin from the Ordinary Unhappiness podcast to discuss a recent publishing phenomenon and its implications for gender politics: romantasy, a genre that's been emerging over the last 10 years with renewed force. Series like Sarah J. Maas's A Court of Thorns and Roses and the Empyrian-novels by Rebecca Yarros mix fantasy tropes with costume drama and pretty explicit sex scenes -- and they rely on a very particular kind of trauma heroine, and what seems to be a very particular understanding of gendered trauma.
ACOFAE Podcast Presents: SPECIAL EPISODE 24: Our new friend Rachel Van Dyken! ACOFAE welcomes to the podcast #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Rachel Van Dyken to discuss her latest release Fallen Gods! A story that is close to the author's heart, _Fallen Gods _is a twist on classic Norse mythology that finds Rey as the daughter of Odin and Odin has an agenda - Mjölnir is missing and only Rey can wield it. Where Mjölnir is hidden remains a mystery that Rey has one week to crack or else. Nothing can be easy for Rey though, as her mortal enemy Aric stands in the way of her and finding the hammer. Filled with banter and romance as well as female friendships and extremely fun college antics, Fallen Gods brings the mythology to the present day and ask the question: What if the gods were only sleeping?

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Blood Like Magic: “Heavy is the head that wears the crown.” Do you find it easy to make choices? Do you make the decision in the moment or try to buy time? Voya struggles with making choices for herself and everyone in her extended family knows. Even her ancestors know it, and that is important because Voya is a witch, or almost a witch. She's 16 and part of a community of witches that use blood and intent to perform magic, and it's Voya's turn to meet her ancestor and make a choice. However, when the choice that Voya is given would impact not only her but her entire family forever, what can she do?! Join Laura Marie and Jessica Marie as they dive into the world of genetics, The Feeds, internships, and family expectation and pressure that must be met, or else everyone looses their power forever.
