Imagine a magical machine that can create toys, tools, and even parts for cars, all from thin air! This is what 3D printing can do, and it's changing the world in amazing ways. It starts with a digital design, just like a drawing on a computer, and then the 3D printer builds it layer by layer using special materials. People use 3D printers to make things quickly and easily that would normally take a long time to make. Scientists and doctors even use them to help create models of bones and organs for surgeries. Discover how this incredible technology is shaping the future and making impossible things possible!

Real October baseball is officially here on October 1st as we question who will step up as the next Mr. October for the Yankees. Callers flooded the show with hot takes, calling out Boomer and demanding "loser" Aaron Judge stay off the roster. Jerry returned with updates from the Yankees' win over the Red Sox—featuring Cody Bellinger's three-run blast—plus postgame sounds from Suzyn Waldman, Ben Rice labeling Volpe a champagne-bottle menace, and reactions from the Red Sox locker room. Finally, Jerry rounded up the rest of the MLB playoff action, Jameis Winston shared his thoughts on bonding with JJ McCarthy, and Mike Tomlin revealed the Minecraft city he's been building for 12 years.

In this week's Reddit Stories episode, Jordan and Simon discuss three neurodivergent dilemmas involving boundaries, brutal honesty, family expectations and when neurodivergence explains behaviour — but doesn't necessarily excuse it.First, someone kicks their friend's autistic friend out of their home after they repeatedly ignore boundaries, burp in their face and start handling their expensive hearing aids without permission. Jordan and Simon discuss autism and social cues, respecting personal space, medical devices, direct communication and the difference between struggling to recognise an unspoken social rule and ignoring someone who has explicitly told you to stop.Next, a new mum clashes with her 19-year-old neurodivergent sister-in-law after being told that her six-month-old baby isn't actually that cute. When the sister-in-law becomes determined to make her admit it, Jordan and Simon discuss autistic bluntness, honesty versus unnecessary rudeness, learning social conventions, family members excusing behaviour because of neurodivergence and why sometimes you really don't need to say the thing you're thinking.Finally, a 20-year-old woman is told by her father that if he dies, she should take responsibility for raising her five-year-old autistic brother — despite his mother still being perfectly capable of caring for him. Jordan and Simon explore the pressure placed on siblings of disabled children, parental expectations, guilt, independence and whether being family means accepting a responsibility you never chose.The stories discussed in this episode are public Reddit posts. Titles may be shortened for readability, and all opinions expressed are those of the original posters.• AITAH for kicking out my friend's neurodivergent friend, for what I felt was ignoring boundaries and touching my most personal stuff?• AITA for telling my parents that if they died right now I would not take in my autistic little brother?• AITA for being harsh with my neurodivergent SIL?Our Sponsors:

In the first episode of The Dialogues, Kassiane Asasumasu, Morénike Giwa-Onaiwu, Renae Martin, and Oswin Latimer explore the history, politics, and lived realities of Autistic advocacy.Drawing on decades of experience within the Autistic and disability communities, the group discusses the growing use of terms such as “profound autism”, the complicated relationship between diagnosis and support needs, and what happens when disabled people are denied the resources and autonomy they need to live in their communities.They also reflect on the history of Autistic-led organising, the early online communities that helped shape the neurodiversity movement, and the personal cost that advocacy has sometimes carried for the people doing the work.Along the way, the conversation explores institutionalisation, disability rights, Medicaid and community-based support, the loss of Autistic community history, and why many of the battles being fought today feel remarkably familiar to those who have been fighting them for decades.The Dialogues is produced in collaboration with Foundations for Divergent Minds for the Autistic Culture Podcast Network.

Matt 3:26. Linger in repentance. 1 Pet 5:67. Celebrate repentance. Jesus celebrated repentance. Luke 15:7

Leonardo da Vinci was an amazing artist and inventor from Italy who lived over 500 years ago. He painted the famous "Mona Lisa," a portrait of a woman with a mysterious smile. Leonardo was curious about everything around him and loved to draw, sketching ideas for machines like airplanes and helicopters long before they existed. Leonardo was not only a painter but also an architect, scientist, and engineer, making him a true Renaissance man.

For many neurodivergent people with complex chronic illness, the barriers they experience at school or work aren't only neurological or psychological. So why are accommodations so often approached as though they are?In this episode of Clinical Misfits, Dr Mary explores the relationship between dysautonomia, neurodivergence and the need for school and workplace accommodations. She questions whether current assessment processes adequately recognise physical symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog, dizziness, pain, sensory sensitivities and difficulties regulating heart rate, blood pressure and body temperature.Dr Mary looks at how dysautonomia might be recognised and investigated in healthcare, and argues for greater involvement from medical professionals when determining the support someone needs. She also discusses practical routes towards better quality of life, from physical and occupational therapy to nutrition, movement and other forms of ongoing support.Produced for the Autistic Culture Podcast Network.

When your body says you have to pause, your seat is still warm. You don't have to start over from zero.In this episode of The Neurocomplex Creative, Vicki Peterson sits down with her executive producer Angela Kingdon, co-founder of the Autistic Culture Podcast Network, for a behind-the-scenes conversation about creating when your brain and body no longer allow you to work the way you once did.Vicki and Angela explore skill regression, autistic burnout and the grief of changing capacity, alongside the importance of building creative practices around real human needs rather than conventional ideas of productivity. Angela shares how her own experience of burnout changed the way she thinks about supporting creatives, and why podcasting can offer neurodivergent creators greater autonomy over how, when and where they work.Together, they explore what it means to build a sustainable creative life — one where taking a break doesn't mean giving up your place, and where being met with understanding on your hardest day can make it possible to return when you're ready.

From silent cinema to modern movies, only one movie theater in the Twin Cities can say it has lived through it all. The Heights Theater in Columbia Heights has been running for 100 years. The one-screen theater has been through a lot in that time, as has the movie industry, and The Heights will celebrate its legacy starting Thursday, Oct. 1st. Co-owner Ryan Oestreich joined MPR News host Nina Moini to talk about the centennial celebration.

On this episode, we listen back to a 2025 conversation about the bicentennial anniversary of organized Norwegian immigration to the U.S. and how Norwegian culture has shaped the Midwest and the U.S. as a whole. First, we hear highlights from the now-King of Norway's visit to the Vesterheim National Norwegian American Museum and Folk Art School and Luther College in Decorah. Then, we hear more about the Decorah-Norway partnership from Chris Johnson of Vesterheim and Maren Johnson of Luther. Later, Norwegian Torgrim Sneve Guttormsen and ISU faculty Ted Grevstad-Nordbrock discuss how Leif Erikson lore has been enshrined across the U.S., as the two of them have had Fulbright residencies in each other's homeland. (This episode was originally produced Oct. 8, 2025.)

Work takes up too much of our lives to feel like a four-letter word. So how do leaders create a workplace where people genuinely want to show up? Kristi sits down with Chris Allaire, founder and CEO of Averity, to unpack what it takes to build a people-first culture rooted in purpose, appreciation, authenticity, and fun. Chris shares the "laws" that shape his company, why he hires people before skill sets, and how celebrating even the small wins can keep a remote team connected and energized. From shifting "I have to" into "I get to" to practicing his simple "feel, think, act" approach, Chris challenges leaders to stop managing numbers and start leading humans. Because when people understand their purpose, feel supported, and actually enjoy the work, the results have a way of following.   Additional Resources: Connect with Chris on LinkedIn Learn more about Averity Connect with Kristi on LinkedIn Subscribe to Kristi's YouTube for more Vibecast content! Learn more about Skutvik Consulting Follow PeopleForward Network on LinkedIn Learn more about PeopleForward Network   Key Takeaways: Hire the person before you hire the skill set. Replace "have to" with the mindset of "get to." Celebrate small wins to strengthen connection and momentum. People-first leadership puts systems and results in perspective. Know your purpose before chasing the desired outcome.  

1,700+ episodes sounds like superhuman discipline, but it's really a system.I'm sharing the “Dangerously Effective 7C System,” a goal achievement framework built for real life, where motivation dips, schedules get chaotic, and progress can feel painfully slow. If you've outgrown SMART goals and you want a clearer way to turn vision into execution, this is for you. We walk through the behavior science behind goal setting and habit formation, including why writing goals down boosts success rates, why accountability changes everything, and why fewer goals often leads to more progress.Then we break down the 7Cs: Clarify what you want with concrete measures, Connect it to a compelling why, Chunk it into short finish lines that keep your energy high, and Convert outcomes into daily actions you can actually control. From there, we get practical about execution: Construct a system that makes the behavior easy to start and hard to forget, Count your reps by tracking actions instead of obsessing over milestones, and Celebrate consistency so your brain wires the habit faster through positive emotion and reward.We also challenge you to pick one goal for the next 90 days, because focus is super fuel. If this helped, subscribe, share the episode with someone chasing a big goal, and leave a rating or review so more people can find the system and use it.What's the one goal you're choosing for the next 90 days?The worksheet - Grab it.

In this episode of Autistic Standpoint Theory, Isha Snow is joined by AuDHD seminary student Willow Shirtz for a deeply personal conversation about autistic cognition, faith, identity and religious trauma.Content note: This episode contains discussion of religious trauma, mental health, psychiatric treatment and difficult family experiences, as well as strong language.Raised in a devout Mormon household, Willow reflects on entering missionary service with genuine belief and the experiences that eventually forced them to question both their faith and the expectations placed upon them. They discuss what it means to process belief, morality and contradiction through an autistic lens — particularly when the systems around you demand certainty and conformity.Their conversation moves through missionary life, mental health, psychiatric treatment, family relationships, sexuality and gender, as Willow describes the difficult process of dismantling an inherited worldview and rebuilding a life beyond it.Now identifying as an atheist while preparing for Unitarian Universalist ministry, Willow's story raises a bigger question at the heart of the series: when a system you were taught to trust stops making sense, what can your own way of knowing help you build in its place?Autistic Standpoint Theory is part of the Autistic Culture Podcast Network.

The football game may be tied, but everyone knows what they have really been waiting for --the drum majors, dancers, booming percussion, shining instruments, and unforgettable joy of the band taking the field.About This EpisodeIn Episode 209 of the Adventures in Learning podcast, Dr. Diane welcomes author and illustrator Shadra Strickland to celebrate her new picture book, Here Comes the Band, illustrated by John Holyfield.This joyful conversation explores the rhythm, movement, color, sound, and community of the HBCU marching-band experience. Shadra shares how a halftime show sparked the “lightning bolt” idea for the book, how her own time as a high school band dancer shaped the story, and why John Holyfield was the perfect illustrator to bring its energy to the page.We talk about growing up in Atlanta, the importance of telling stories rooted in culture and lived experience, and how picture books can offer children joyful windows into a world they may not have seen before. We also explore ways Here Comes the Bandcan inspire classroom music, movement, sound, art, and STEAM learning.Most of all, this is an episode about community: the community found in a marching band, in classrooms, in friendships, in creative work, and in the stories that help young readers experience joy.Chapters00:53 The halftime-show moment that sparked the book02:13 Shadra reads from Here Comes the Band02:49 Sound, music, rhythm, and STEAM connections04:03 Growing up in Atlanta and writing toward culture and joy05:30 From high-school band dancer to picture-book creator06:13 Family, school, and community roots in Atlanta07:39 Discovering picture books through teaching09:04 Why John Holyfield was the right illustrator for this story10:39 The band as the true halftime show12:44 New books and creative projects on the horizon13:31 Teaching illustration and supporting emerging creators14:31 The storytelling question: What are you sharing with a young person?15:57 Visual details, musical instruments, and reading illustrations closely17:23 What is bringing Shadra hope?Links & ResourcesFeatured Book: Here Comes the Bandby Shadra Strickland, illustrated by John HolyfieldOther Books Mentioned in This Conversation:Nani and the Lion by Alicia D.

What details do the illustrations add that the text does not say?Move to learn: Create a classroom parade, design safe marching patterns, or invite children to explore how different instruments might move.Build instruments: Create simple instruments and investigate how their materials, size, and movement change the sounds they make.Celebrate community: Talk about the people who bring joy and energy to community events, even when they may not be the people everyone initially came to see.Take ActionHere Comes the Bandis a celebration of movement, music, culture, creativity, community, and Black joy.

Today's poem is Lotioning My Mother's Back by Ama Codjoe. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Maggie writes… “The world feels like a hard place right now—a not very soft and tender place. In times that feel difficult, it's tempting to retreat, to harden ourselves, to “numb out.” But I think, more and more, that tenderness is what we need—toward one another, and toward ourselves. We need touch. We need connection. We need soft places to land. We need to hold on to one another.”Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.

Sound is one of the fastest, most powerful systems in the human brain. It can soothe, destabilise, regulate, overwhelm - and, when used intentionally, it can become a profound tool for nervous system support.In this episode of Mindful Mondays, Ashley explores the neuroscience and lived experience of sound for neurodivergent minds.

What happens when you spend years doing everything “right” — only to discover you might have missed something along the way?In this episode of The Still Growing Up Film Club, Cece Fanning heads back to high school with Booksmart, following best friends Molly and Amy as they attempt to squeeze four years of missed parties, bad decisions and teenage chaos into one unforgettable night before graduation.As their carefully constructed plans spectacularly unravel, Cece explores what the film can teach us about perfectionism, achievement, friendship and the danger of assuming we already understand the people around us. She also looks at the pressure to be known for one particular thing — whether that's being smart, successful or neurodivergent — and what happens when other people see a very different version of us from the person we know ourselves to be.Along the way, there are crushes, awkward encounters, unexpected friendships, plans going wildly off-script and some painful lessons about listening to the people we love. Molly and Amy may begin the night determined to prove that they can have it all, but they discover something more important: growing up sometimes means admitting you were wrong, apologising when you've hurt someone and allowing yourself to enjoy the present instead of constantly preparing for what's next.Because working hard matters. But so do friendship, fun, mistakes and all the parts of life that can't be added to a résumé.Follow Cece:

Welcome to another edition of This Week in Autistic Culture, our magazine podcast that brings together the stories, conversations and ideas shaping Autistic culture each week.This week, Simon is back from holiday and joins Angela to unpack new guidance from the National Autistic Society stating that autism is genetic and lifelong. They discuss why that message matters, the misinformation that still surrounds the causes of autism, and why something seemingly so straightforward can still provoke disagreement.They also turn to controversial proposals for tackling England's huge ADHD assessment backlog, asking what happens when access to diagnosis and support is increasingly reserved for those deemed to have the greatest clinical need.There's also big news from ACPN as Angela and Simon reveal the first trailer for Season Four of The Autistic Culture Podcast, with Simon joining Angela as co-host when the show returns in October.As always, we'll take you through everything coming up across the Autistic Culture Podcast Network this week, before heading to the Community Notice Board for books, research, events and opportunities from across the wider Autistic community.

For parents navigating emotional dysregulation, The Dysregulated Kid offers a simpler way forward: more self-compassion, curiosity, and small moments of change. Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge brings her expertise in Regulation First Parenting™ to help families create lasting change.If you're parenting a dysregulated child, you may be carrying guilt, frustration, and the feeling that you should be doing more. The Dysregulated Kid was created to give you a different lens—and help you see that change can begin with one small, calmer moment.What is The Dysregulated Kid really meant to change for parents?The Dysregulated Kid isn't about finishing a book or doing everything perfectly. It's about understanding your child differently and having practical guidance you can return to when you need it.Parents can start with chapter one, flip to a specific section, or simply read what speaks to them in the moment.The goal isn't the finish line. The goal is change.Start small instead of trying to change everything.Use the book when you need support.Focus on understanding your child, not achieving perfect parenting.Remember that people, conversations, and tiny moments change families.How can parents stop feeling guilty about their child's behavior?Many parents are carrying guilt and frustration they were never meant to carry. You love your child. You've been trying. Sometimes what's missing isn't effort—it's the right lens for understanding what is happening.One of the biggest shifts is becoming kinder to yourself. You don't have to know everything or get every moment right. No parent is perfect.Let go of the belief that you should already have all the answers.Recognize how hard you've been trying.Give yourself patience and grace.Remember that understanding comes before change.Real-life example: Instead of ending a difficult day thinking, “Why can't I get this right?” a parent might pause and recognize, “We had one calmer moment today than we did last week.” That is progress.How can I become less reactive when my child is dysregulated?The episode encourages parents to replace immediate reaction with curiosity. Instead of only asking, “How do I stop this behavior?” begin asking, “What is making this so hard for my kid?”That one question can change how you respond. It helps you take the behavior less personally and consider what the nervous system may need.Get curious instead of immediately reacting.Ask what is making the situation difficult.Take away personalization.Look for opportunities to create more calm.

From music and rhythm as ancient emotional language, to binaural beats and brainwave states, humming and vagus nerve activation, ASMR, pink noise, and the surprising science behind tinnitus and musical ear syndrome.We also talk honestly about misophonia, loud noise sensitivity, and the cocktail party effect - and why regulation, not exposure, is the key.The episode closes with a guided theta journey using Alexander Voloshin of Healing Meditation Music's theta binaural beats - an immersive sound experience designed to gently support deep rest, insight, and recalibration.If sound has ever felt like too much - or not enough - this episode will help you understand why, and how to work with it.Headphones recommended.Our Sponsors:

The run to Rio de Janeiro ended with an interesting Loop. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss all aspects of the Baltimore Ravens 34-31 win over the Dallas Cowboys on the foot of the kicker whose burden has been heavy since last season's exit miss in Pittsburgh. This time, it was 56 yards and "good" on a day when the field, the play, the tackling and the run game weren't always good enough. The guys in purple return to America from South America at 2-1. That'll work... The post Luke Jones and Nestor celebrate the Loop kick in Rio and Ravens big win over Cowboys first appeared on Baltimore Positive WNST.

Your character matters. If you have poor character in one area… You're a liar? Don't take responsibility for your actions? Mistreat others? I'd put money on the fact that you lack character in many areas. Which will call into question everything I might know about you - as it should. Celebrate those out there who recognize that character is important - and speak out appropriately.   Follow my training! Instagram The High Drive Dog More online training! Fenzi Dog Sports Academy

Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started. Lesley Logan 0:47  Be It, babe. Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It podcast. Oh my God, guys, we are slaying through episodes more than 740. So I mean, this is insane. I can't believe we're going to be on 800 before we know it, but anyways, that's not our win. That's not it. All right. So on Fridays, it's real talk. It's real life chat with me. I'm just chatting with myself, and hopefully you're enjoying it. And then I share one of mine and one of yours. And so, okay, remember my technology pissy moments a couple months ago. So I've had something happen in my computer three times that no one can explain, and I can show it to people. And Brad has seen it in real time, and it is the whole thing.Lesley Logan 1:27  But at any rate, my computer would be looking so great, and I would put the charger on. I wouldn't read that there was a charger there, and it'd be the appropriate before anyone tells me something. It's the appropriate type of charger for the computer, and it's plugged in appropriately to an outlet, and that outlet works. And then I've tried other outlets that I know work, and other chargers are the right size and the right currency and whatever, blah blah blah. And so, anyways, I made a Genius appointment. I made a Genius appointment, and I go and I explain to the guy, and the guy is looking at me like I'm a crazy person, and he is checking to make sure that my charging thing is clean and all this stuff. Basically, the long story example of is when your car makes a sound, you take a mechanic, and the sound doesn't work anymore. It's like that. So, of course, there's no way to recreate what happened. And of course, I didn't film myself having the problem that was happening. And next time I will because I felt like a crazy person. And then, of course, they go, "Oh, we'll help you early," only for the guy to go, "Oh, I'm getting off work now, so you have to wait for this other person." And then the other person was just, I think he's. This is really a user error experience. User error. This is not my first MacBook. I know what the fuck I'm doing. I know how chargers work. Do you know who my husband is?Lesley Logan 2:34  So, anyways, while waiting in purgatory for my computer to reboot and whatever I was going to do, I will say that I did treat myself to headphones I didn't need, but I guess my event is I just think that computer technicians, mechanics, everyone should just be trained in. God, that really sucks. I don't see why that's happening. And what I will say is maybe next time, why don't you do these three things? Because it sounds like you actually are doing all the right things, so would you film it next time and then come back because we can see what's going on? Because we can't see it in the technology. There's nothing. The computer's not telling us anything, and it sounds like you're doing everything right. Blow smoke up my ass. That would be great. Just tell me I did everything right, and what to do next time it happens. And then, even though they didn't do that, did I buy something I didn't need? Fuck yeah, I did, and I am really excited about it. I'm really excited about it. In fact, it probably come a win later on.Lesley Logan 3:25  But I bought myself these headphones that they also said you don't need those because you have the AirPod Three Pros, and I was, yeah, but they're not noise canceling enough, and you don't understand. Last year I was, this is how dramatic I do sound dramatic. If waterboarding could be a baby's cry, right? That's what it was for 15 hours on a flight. And my AirPods, now they weren't the Three Pros; they were the two. At any rate, they cut. They did nothing. Zero, nothing. I even put a sweatshirt hoodie over me. I tried everything. 17 hours of flight, 15 hours of nonstop crying. So I bought these things. I didn't need. This is not my win, but they also didn't want to sell me that. People don't know what you're talking about. I put them on while the landscaper was doing his leaf blower outside my office, and I barely heard it. I'm gonna tell you right now. I'm gonna have the best flights to Asia. I have three in Q4, three, and I'm gonna have the best ones, all because my computer did something stupid that they couldn't figure out. So my computer actually, my computer was looking out for me. Maybe I shouldn't yell at it so much. Anyways, okay. Thanks for going that journey with me.Lesley Logan 4:11  My win is my YouTube, my YouTube channel growth. Oh my God, you guys! I don't know if you know this, but my YouTube channel has been a real time, 12-year Be It Till You See It. I didn't ever want to do it. I would get nervous every time I'd film the videos. I would cry during some of the times because you don't even understand. 12 years ago, you couldn't even afford a tripod. My young friends who are listening couldn't even afford a tripod. That was $175 or $125, and even then, it was hard to find the thing would hold the iPhone because you didn't film. Your iPhones. You film with a DSLR. Wow, I didn't even know I would pull those letters out of my mouth. And so we didn't have lights. We didn't have microphones. Oh my God, a microphone so expensive. So, anyways, I used to just yell at the camera. But here we are, 12 years later, and in the last couple months, the channel has been growing so much, and I really have that that win is a collective community effort because I have several people on the team who help me make this magic happen. I met an incredible expert consultant who gave me some really great tips, and I'm so grateful for him. And I'm just grateful for all of you for subscribing to it and being part of it. So it's not the podcast YouTube channel; it's the OPC YouTube channel. Although you can subscribe to the podcast YouTube channel and tell me how you like it. If you like watching the videos, I recognize that I don't look at the camera most of the time on this because I just look around the room because I don't know ADHD is real and it's hard to look at a green dot all day. But at any rate, my online Pilates classes YouTube channel's growth has been so wonderfully organic, beautiful, and it's just nice to see that the work I'm putting out there is something that's helping you and the people are sharing with their friends, and I'm grateful. I'm grateful. I'm grateful. I'm grateful. And if you have yet not subscribed to that, and you want to support this podcast and me, subscribe to my YouTube channel. That's a great way to do it. All right, thank you. That's my win. Lesley Logan 6:16  Okay, your win. Ready? @lakesaintlouisliving I did two Pilates classes at two different studios with two tough instructors, and I didn't die. I love it. That's a great win. That's a great win. Brad just did a Pilates session with me today, and he didn't die because you want to know something. You're not going to die. It's going to be hard. Might be uncomfortable, but you're going to find something new in yourself, and you're not going to die. And then that is practice that you can do hard things. See, Pilates is helping you practice. If you don't die during that, you're not going to die in other things. So there you go. Challenge yourself. I love that.Lesley Logan 6:49  All right, let's get you a mantra and get you on your weekend. I treat myself with kindness and understanding. I treat myself with kindness and understanding. Oh, do you do that? Do you feel a cognitive dissonance? Is that what you have to Be It Till You See It this week? Treat myself with kindness and understanding. Love you so much, Be It, babe. Thank you so much for supporting this podcast any way you can. Subscribing to our OPC YouTube channel, subscribing to OPC, or buying flashcards. We it means the world to us.

What if being a single mother wasn’t something women had to defend—but something worth celebrating? This week, Erica and Milah sit down with writer, cultural critic, and author Jamilah Lemieux for an honest, hilarious, and unapologetic conversation about Black single motherhood, dating, co-parenting, raising daughters, friendship, sex, and letting go of the shame attached to being a “baby mama.” Jamilah opens up about her own journey as a single mother and how writing about Black single moms completely transformed the way she sees single motherhood. What started as a desire to defend single mothers turned into something much bigger: giving them their flowers. The ladies get into what actually makes someone a “single mom,” why having an active co-parent doesn’t erase the realities of running your own household, and why struggling should never be treated as a requirement for single motherhood. They also talk about the stigma attached to the words “baby mama,” why women are still judged by their relationship status, dating and sex as a mother, raising daughters without shame, and the freedom that comes when you stop performing motherhood for other people. Plus, Jamilah shares why she spent years thinking she needed a man when what she really needed was girlfriends, why your mother-led household is already a family, and why the single mother revolution may just be getting started. And because this is Good Moms Bad Choices, things get a little unhinged along the way—from sex work and stripper conversations with your kids to dating, dick size, motherhood, and everything women are usually told not to say out loud.
