Matrescence: the word we all need with Lucy Jones

Welcome to this week’s episode with Lucy Jones. She is an investigative journalist, award-winning author and has just written a new book called Matrescence. Matresence is one of my favourite words and subjects ever. It describes the process of becoming a mother - the confusing discombobulating cocktail of emotions that happens when we transition from woman to mother. All the physical, emotional and spiritual changes. A bit like the transition from teenager to adult. Listen to hear about: -   What matresence means and its anthropological roots -   Our position as a mother in today’s society and how it’s geared to be against mothers -   Why we need more support in society and Lucy’s thoughts on how we can receive that If only all mothers knew this word, I think we would have found it so much easier to be kind to ourselves, knowing it’s meant to be a bumpy journey. - Special thanks to our sponsors Athletic Greens Visit https://athleticgreens.com/motherkind to get a FREE year supply of immune-supporting Vitamin D AND 5 free travel packs with your first purchase.

Father's Day special with Bode Aboderin

Hi everyone, and welcome to this special Father's Day. It's Father’s Day here in the UK on the 18th of June, and I am so excited to share this episode with you. My guest is Bodé Aboderin (AKA Papa B). He is a writer, speaker, businessman, and stay-at-home dad. His wife is the amazing Candice Brathwaite, who has also been on the podcast. Listen to hear about: What he used to believe being a man meant: earning more, not showing his feelings and having this impenetrable mask of masculinity. How hitting rock bottom led to a breakthrough of totally transforming how he sees his role as a man and a father.   This episode is incredibly powerful, and I hope it's one you will share with the men in your life. I sent it to my husband, Guy, within minutes of recording - urging him in all caps to please listen.
