How long do you have? In all seriousness, we love dads, and millennial dads are absolutely raising the bar on what it looks like to be a father. This chat is about society, and why dads seem to get praised for their parenting while mums are just… plain old parenting (and complaining about it on their hot mum walks, IYKYK). Our listeners had a lot to say on this one when we opened the polls up – 96% of you thought that dads do get more praise for parenting. Is it because of deeply entrenched traditional gender roles? Is it a general lack of care for mothers and motherhood? Is it mums being cast as the ‘default' parent who are *just” doing what's expected of them? Is it stereotyped language around dad's being ‘hands on' or ‘babysitting' their own kids? Listen and hear from us, as well as you, our listeners, as we break this one down together. Studies/articles mentioned in this chat:Grattan Institute Research on parenting dynamics in early years.

Wow, this episode is so powerful and so precious. Hayley joins us on the podcast to share her story with Harry, her beautiful son who is now 4 years old and absolutely thriving.Hayley and her partner, Jordan, welcomed their boy into the world at just 24 weeks old, weighing a tiny 700 grams. Harry spent the first 16 weeks of his life in the NICU after being born so prematurely, miraculously coming home on his due date. Hayley talks us through her entire story, from her joy at falling pregnant, to being hospitalised for premature labour and the anxiety-filled weeks that followed while medical staff tried to stop her labour progressing. She shares her birth with Harry, and the complications that arose for them both.Hayley talks vulnerably on the day-to-day NICU experience with a micro-preemie - the milestones of Harry opening his eyes for the first time, buying his first clothes and blankets, and also the challenges of waiting for his lungs to mature, navigating pumping and feeding, and sitting by his cot without being able to cuddle him. Finally, Hayley and Jordan were able to bring Harry home and Hayley shares what these first few weeks and months looked like as they adapted to life outside of the hospital, and what has changed over the years as Harry continues to thrive. This is such a beautiful episode, about a beautiful family. Hayley speaks so openly of an experience that so few walk, and we are so grateful for her sharing her's and Harry's story. Links Hayley mentioned in the episode:Life's Little Treasures FoundationMiracle Babies FoundationJoin our Growing community on instagram ⁠⁠⁠@growingupraisinguspodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to see photos of our weekly guests, behind the scenes moments, and keep up to date with episode releases.This podcast was recorded on the unceded lands of the Taungurung, Wurundjeri and Boon Wurrung/Bunurong peoples of the Kulin Nation.

Ideally, we'd be raising our children in community – with others from different generations, backgrounds and skill-sets. Somebody to entertain the older kids, somebody to focus on feeding, to plan the day, to tend to the mothers in early postpartum, to hold sleeping babies, to help with laundry. In reality, most of us are doing all of this tending by ourselves, and mostly in isolation. In this episode, Alice (@themodern.doula) joins the podcast to chat about all things modern day village. Alice is a doula and mother to two, so perfectly positioned to share how we can create (and contribute to) meaningful support systems in motherhood when they may not be available or close by. This episode is part of our How Do I series, a segment of the pod where we unpack questions that have been on our minds.

In today's snappy ep we are discussing the “7 types of rest” through the lens of motherhood. Have you heard of them?This is such an important conversation for mothers and new parents, when our most obvious form of rest (AKA sleep) goes out the window. We chat through the 7 types and how they can show up in motherhood.The 7 types of rest were identified by Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith, a US physician. She describes ways to incorporate rest and restoration in these 7 different aspects of our lives: physical, mental, emotional, social, sensory, creative, and spiritual. Join our community on instagram ⁠⁠⁠@growingupraisinguspodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to see photos of our weekly guests, behind the scenes moments, and keep up to date with episode releases.This podcast was recorded on the unceded lands of the Taungurung, Wurundjeri and Boon Wurrung/Bunurong peoples of the Kulin Nation.

Today's ep is with Jane of @doingmotherhood. Jane is a mother of two and a mental health occupational therapist specialising in matrescence and the perinatal period, currently working at @themindfulbirthmovement. Jane joins us to discuss:Matrescence from an occupational therapist's POV and why it can be such a challenging time for our sense of self, confidence and functioning What a mental health perinatal occupational therapist does and how they can help mothers navigate changes in their functioning or achieve their specific goals (whether that's related to your pelvic floor, returning to work, your identity, or more)Nervous system regulation, both daily strategies to build your capacity and things to do in times of dysregulation in you or your children How understanding our values can help us to navigate transitions and shifting identities This is such an insightful episode. Jane describes how motherhood is unique because most of us are really thrown into parenthood without any real opportunity to learn or practice the skills and tasks that come with mothering. It makes sense then, that our sense of self and confidence may be rocked through the experience, and that this can have flow-on impacts to our functioning. Jane shares why this all occurs and what we can do about it. Jane offers the newly launched ‘Birth of Us' antenatal program - a program designed to help parents step into parenthood with confidence and practical knowledge. Resources, counselling and support are also available at The Mindful Birth Movement.Join our community on instagram ⁠⁠⁠@growingupraisinguspodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to see photos of our weekly guests, behind the scenes moments, and keep up to date with episode releases.This podcast was recorded on the unceded lands of the Taungurung, Wurundjeri and Boon Wurrung/Bunurong peoples of the Kulin Nation.

Welcome to the first episode of our new segment – How Do I – a series where we unpack questions that have been on our minds – sometimes with wonderful experts, sometimes between us, your co-hosts, and often with experiences shared by you, our beautiful listeners.

Lazarus is on as part of Melbourne /Naarm's Yirramboi festival.Jason Arrow is known to many as the titular character in Hamilton where he had an extraordinary run both in Australia and internationally. Now he has put his breeches and coat tails away and has donned a 1950s dapper suit for the character of Nicely-Nicely Johnson in Opera Australia's Guys and Dolls on Sydney Harbour. He sings for us the showstopper Sit Down, You're Rockin' the Boat!The Player Kings is a show which takes the audience on an 8-hour journey through plays by Shakespeare and Christopher Marlowe that chart the rise and fall of five kings.

In this week's ep, we have Part 2 of our conversation with Amy Pearson of @sunmotheramy. This chat focuses on neurodiversity - on Amy's experience raising a child who is neurodivergent and how that journey impacted her understanding and learning of her own ADHD. We chose to split this interview into two parts because Amy speaks openly and honestly on the experience of having a highly sensitive baby, and we hope this ep reaches anyone who is navigating a similar experience. From another mama with a sensitive baby who cried non-stop in a dark room, it can be an isolating and overwhelming time where your only focus is trying to improve things for this tiny person and get through each night. We see you, you're doing wonderful things, and we hope Amy's beautiful words reach you. Find part 1 of our chat with Amy here.Join our community on instagram ⁠⁠⁠@growingupraisinguspodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to see photos of our weekly guests, behind the scenes moments, and keep up to date with episode releases.This podcast was recorded on the unceded lands of the Taungurung, Wurundjeri and Boon Wurrung/Bunurong peoples of the Kulin Nation.

How did you know you were done having kids, if you ever had that feeling at all? It's something that is shaped by so many factors—practical, emotional, and unexpected. Fertility and financial pressures, not seeing eye to eye with your partner, feeling completely ‘done' or maybe not at all. We wanted to explore what really influences this decision, and we asked our listeners. The response was huge. As we've been putting this episode together, so many people have reached out—whether they're still figuring out their family plans or have already made those big decisions. It's clear this is something on a lot of minds, so we're excited to bring you today's In Your Words episode, where we hear from some incredible people who've shared their stories with us.A huge thank you to our guests who share their insights so openly in this episode:✨ Sophia: a mother of two, aged 15 and 1, a wife and a sleep consultant at @sophiasleepschool.

Aussie classic Babe turns 30 this year, and its story of the little pig that achieves his dream of being a sheep dog is still as uplifting as the day it premiered. But we can't say "that'll do, pig" when it comes to the science....By now, we know pigs aren't "definitely stupid", but how smart are they? Would an orphaned pig be taken in by a family of dogs? Could a pig really learn to herd sheep? And would Babe really stay so small for so long?Dr Ann Jones sniffs out the porkies Hollywood told us in this poignant pig picture. Featuring:Dr Daryl Sparkes, Senior Lecturer (Media Studies and Production) at the University of Southern QueenslandProfessor Chris Johnson, Ecologist and Conservation Biologist at the University of TasmaniaAssociate Professor Suzanne Held, Behavioural Biology and Animal Welfare at the University of BristolBabe (1995), Universal PicturesProduction:Ann Jones, Presenter / ProducerNat Tencic, ProducerRebecca McLaren, ProducerIsabella Tropiano, additional masteringThis episode of What the Duck?! was produced on the lands of the Wadawarrung, Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung, Taungurung, and Kaurna people.If you want to hear more "What the Duck?" episodes- please like and subscribe here.

Kimberley Moulten, an adjunct curator at  Britain's Tate gallery, specialising in First Nations art and Kate ten Buuren, a Taungurung curator, walk us through the public installation Blak Infinite for Melbourne's winter arts festival, RISING.The artist Destiny Deacon, who passed away last week, first coined 'Blak' to reclaim a word often weaponised against Aboriginal people in Australia. Rosa speaks with the Art Show's own Daniel Browning, who knew Destiny, about the artist's influential work and daring humour. Work mentioned include Whitey's Watching  and Eva Johnson -- Portrait .In the 1930s Grace Crowley taught at a private painting school and met Ralph Balson, a house painter. The two struck up a lifelong painting practice that moved into 'pure abstraction', together playing an important role in the art movement in Australia. We look at their work and still-undefined relationship with curator Beckett Rozentals, for a new exhibition placing them side by side.

Kaley Nicholson is the Co-Founder of Yilam. A sustainable camping brand that offers the highest quality camping gear and On Country tourism experiences. Yilam in Taungurung means camp. Kaley is connected to various tribes in Victoria and New South Wales, so she identifies as Koori, an Indigenous person from those areas.Kaley grew up in Swan Hill and migrated south to Geelong once she finished school. After sometime, the rest of the family came down too. Kaley and her mother had an off-the-cuff idea on one of their camping trips out On Country. This led to the founding of Yilam. The idea stuck and when they got home, Kaley got to work, using her policy background to shape up something doable.This mother and daughter team is one of a kind. They are inspiration on many levels. Starting a business with a middle-aged co-founder and no experience, dreaming big, and making financial changes for their family.

Today's episode features Tyson Yunkaporta: academic, author, arts critic, researcher, and member of the Apalech Clan with community and cultural ties all over the country. Tyson is the author of Sand Talk: How Indigenous Thinking Can Save the World - an incredible book that shares indigenous ways of thinking that respect the complexity of the world we live in and finds ways to communicate this knowledge through pictures, carvings and stories. Tyson uses Sand Talk - which honours the Aboriginal custom of drawing images on the ground to bring clarity to complexity, and asks: what would happen if we applied indigenous thinking to the immense social and environmental problems our world faces today. Tyson also carves traditional tools and weapons, and also works as a senior lecturer in Indigenous Knowledges at Deakin University in Melbourne, Australia. Find out more about Tyson here. Tyson is reading: The Song of Mavin Manyshaped, by Sheri Tepper Tyson is listening to: The Douglas Rushkoff Podcast and the Jim Rutt Show This podcast is recorded on the lands of the Dja Dja Wurrung and Taungurung peoples of the Kulin Nation. We acknowledge them as the Traditional Owners and true sovereigns of the land.  Despite the impact of European Invasion we acknowledge their deep understanding and connection to country and rich cultural knowledge. We acknowledge and pay respect to their elders and elders of indigenous communities across the world.

In a week dominated by stories of the Black Lives Matter protests in the US and closer to home protests against Aboriginal deaths in custody and the overincarceration of our First Nations people, we look at promising Aboriginal-led decision-making processes that are helping protect culture and keep Aboriginal people safer through the justice system in Victoria.  We're talking restorative justice, and we're also talking about a beautiful possum cloak that's keeping culture real and present in the children's court.  We hear from Jarrod Hughes, a Taungurung man and Senior Advisor from the Research and Advocacy team at the Centre for Innovative Justice about their Open Circle Restorative Justice program. Website: https://cij.org.au/opencircle/ We also speak with Ashley Morris manager of Koori Services and Programs at the Children's Court of Victoria in Broadmeadows and hear about their Marram-Ngala Ganbu Program an innovative response to the over-representation of Aboriginal children and families in the child protection system in Victoria.Website: https://www.childrenscourt.vic.gov.au/evaluation-marram-ngala-ganbu

An episode about a faceless man, and irrigation history. In April 1905, a man’s mutilated body was found in a bag in an irrigation channel in Girgarre East, northern Victoria. The channel was not far from where hundreds of men were constructing the Waranga Basin– a formative irrigation project storing water from the Goulburn River for distribution through channels that parceled up land for orchards, dairy farms and new towns. The body in the channel had been disemboweled, its head cut off, its legs missing, and its face sliced off in an apparent attempt to avoid identification. The find was dubbed The Tatura Tragedy, for the nearby irrigation town, and while investigators took weeks to identify the body, they quickly speculated on a connection to workers at the Waranga camp. This “rowdy township” housed “the usual navy class, neither better nor worse, prone to quarrel or to be hilarious and enjoy themselves on pay nights”, who “come and go without any notice being taken of them”. They typically travelled in pairs laboring, shearing or rabbiting. The Tatura Tragedy 1905 story was selected at random from the National Library of Australia’s Trove archive of digitized historical newspapers by Digital Death Trip, a custom bot coded by Sarah. The code uses Trove’s API to randomly select a Victorian town, then a random so-called Tragedy from it, then compile a case file. In the pilot run, DDT picked 2 stories from irrigation towns in Victoria, including The Tatura Tragedy. In this episode, Elizabeth has dug up more about the incident, its place and time. One theme is the nature of work, particularly itinerant work for men. When the victim, William Skinner (!) was finally identified, and killer James Edwards apprehended, speculation proved correct: the pair were workers and had been travelling together. A police description said Edwards was “fond of using the expression, ‘there’s no crawfish about me’, a shearer, a gambler, and two-up player; frequents country racecourses, drinks heavy when able, talks fighting, quiet when sober”. Edwards said he tramped the rivers of Victoria his whole life “like a book to me”, doing “any kind of work that comes my way”. Another theme is irrigation (which is interesting, at least in “Chinatown”). The Waranga wall is a 7km long, 12m high barrier built over a decade with horses, shovels and picks. It was Australia’s first major dam. Visiting Waranga Shores caravan park, maybe site of the workers’ camp, the basin looks like the sea but also like a flooded field. It’s popular for boating. Beneath the water lie remains of old grazing stations; and of the longer history of indigenous Taungurung people. Massive early 20th century irrigation and Closer Settlement projects were stages in the displacement embodied in settler colonialism: through which land, waterways, and rights to them, were carved out anew. Waranga still feeds Victoria’s irrigation system and its politics of water rights, environment, and the economic viability of farming and small towns. We also drove back roads of Girgarre East, searching for where Skinner’s body was dropped. Near where we narrowed it down to, someone had strung up bodies of dead hares, foxes and kangaroos along a barbed wire fence – including a fox’s decapitated decaying head. Very “In the Pines”. Edwards was found guilty of manslaughter: the defense argued the victim, Skinner, a comparatively privileged man, was bad-tempered and the killing was provoked. Edwards blamed drinking and working: “I’ve worked hard, lived hard, drunk hard and fought hard; but hard work has brought hard drink…”. Public fascination waned as Edwards seemed ‘ordinary’ back-blocks brawler. Today, there are rumors of unknown bodies from the camp buried in the Waranga wall. There are also tales of giant 2m waves coursing across the otherwise glassy surface of the basin, spooking workers and anglers. Like 70s song the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, “the lake, it is said, never gives up her dead”.
