    Familiefællesskaber: Den Rejsende Landsby

    Familiefællesskaber: Den Rejsende Landsby

    Den Rejsende Landsby består af 20 familier fra hele verden, der sammen rejser 4 måneder til Vietnam, Japan og Thailand. Undervejs bor de geografisk i samme område, laver fælles aktiviteter, arrangerer fælles måltider og skaber en hverdag sammen - ikke hver for sig.

    Michelle Rødgaard-Jessen fortæller om: 

    • Hvordan ideen er affødt af et til tider ensomt børne- og forældreliv
    • Hvordan et arbejdsliv som digital nomade giver frihed til at tage på lange rejser med børn
    • Hvordan børnene har lavet landsbyens helt eget flag
    • Inspiration fra bofællesskaber og ‘no gossip’- politik
    • at glæde sig til nye perspektiver i andre kulturer, væk fra andedammen i DK
    • Håb om et trygt børnefællesskab med leg og aldersdiversitet
    • … og et voksenfællesskab, der griber, hjælper og aflaster hinanden

    S2: Ep3 Using Herbal Remedies in the Home with Medical Herbalist Lucie Bradley

    S2: Ep3 Using Herbal Remedies in the Home with Medical Herbalist Lucie Bradley

     In this episode, medical herbalist Lucie Bradley talks about how she was initially led to explore alternative health options when medical treatment for persistent vaginal thrush failed to work for her. This enquiry led her to study medical herbalism, and subsequently spend time in Africa working with nurses and doctors in integrated clinics, using herbal medicine alongside medical practices.

    Her exploration of local uses of herbs in Tanzania led her to then complete a Masters degree in ethnobotany while living and working as a single mother in Africa.

    On returning to the UK she set up a clinical herbalist practice in Edinburgh, and is now based in Glasgow with a busy herbal practice. Lucie is eager for people to be able to take more control over their own health, and so also runs a course on using herbal remedies to treat simple ailments in the home.


    Lucie Bradley embodies the values and aims of The Mother Podcast, to empower women to take more control over their health by exploring and learning about alternatives to Western medicine. Lucie has worked tirelessly through her life to teach people to not only use, but integrate, plant medicine into their lives.

    Listen to this episode to find out:

    • How persistent vaginal thrush led Lucie to find alternative health practices
    • The connection between the food we eat and our health
    • How our past experiences and trauma can affect our health
    • How plant medicine is used in malaria treatment
    • The challenge of being a successful practitioner and running a business
    • Working with money blocks to be able to earn money as an alternative health practitioner
    • How practitioner-grade herbs are more effective
    • How the processing of herbs determines its effectiveness
    • How plants work synergistically, and pharmacological medicines don’t
    • Reasons why people are suspicious of herbal medicine, and how herbal medicine got pushed out of mainstream culture
    • How understanding your own constitution is important for taking control of your health
    • That most herbs are safe in pregnancy
    • Why it is important to maintain your health – and gut health – to stay well, and why it is even more important for pregnant women to keep themselves healthy
    • How to use garlic and onion as antimicrobials
    • How to make fire cider
    • Making your own berry tincture in the autumn to stay well in winter
    • How staying well includes treating our stress levels
    • Adaptogens and their importance in keeping stress levels healthy
    • Finding reliable information on herbal medicine
    • How to use herbal baths for infants and children

    Familiefællesskaber: At bo i cirkler

    Familiefællesskaber: At bo i cirkler

    Hvad vil det sige at bo i en cirkel, og hvordan bliver cirklen en klan? Hvordan lægger arkitektur op til fællesskab? Hvilke overvejelser gør man sig som solomor om relationer og boformer? Hvordan hænger ‘det gode børneliv’, trampoliner og skadestuer sammen?

    I denne episode i serien ‘Familiefællesskaber i Danmark’ besøger vi Anna, der bor i Møllestensparken i Tuse nær Holbæk på Sjælland, der består af 60 huse i fire cirkler.

    Vi skal bl.a. høre om:

    • Hvordan fysiske rammer kan skabe et meningsfuldt familieliv.
    • Hvordan fællesskab ser ud i et parcelhuskvarter indrettet i cirkler.
    • At give slip på forestillingen om et kærlighedsbarn og i stedet gå med en donor.
    • Hvordan de andre voksne i cirklen tænker med.
    • Cirkulær tankegang over egenprofit.

    Kom med på rejsen ind i forældreskabet og familielivet sammen med kvinderne bag Stammemama, antropolog Kirstine Reinholdt, og psykoterapeut, Kristine Wiinberg.

    Familiefællesskaber: At bo med Svigermekanikken

    Hvordan er det at bo sammen flere generationer? Er det lettere at være svigerdatteren? Hvordan bliver Corona til  bofællesskab med bedsterne? Hvad får børn, forældre og bedsteforældre ud af at bo så tæt? 

    I denne episode i serien 'Familiefællesskaber i Danmark’ snakker vi med kvinderne Camilla og Stine, der hver især bor med deres egne familier og svigerforældre på samme matrikel; Camilla med mand og barn bor i ét hjem og svigerforældrene i et andet hjem på samme matrikel, mens Stine med mand og børn bor i samme hus som svigerfamilien. 
    Camilla og Stine er en del af et voksende modsvar til at bo i isolerede enheder og i stedet rykke tættere sammen. 

    I episoden skal vi bl.a. høre om: 
    • Hvordan kan det i praksis se ud at bo flere generationer sammen? 
    • Hvad er det bedste og sværeste ved at bo sammen med svigerfamilien? 
    • Hvad sker der, når svigerforældrene bliver gamle? 
    • Gode råd hvis man overvejer at bo sammen flere generationer.

    25. The Great Reemergence

    25. The Great Reemergence

    The big news is revealed. Plus, how do you pull yourself out of a creative funk? What have I been doing since my last recording? 
    Just the act of freely expressing oneself, even if only to oneself, is extremely liberating. If you stick with it until the steam subsides, you just might get to the root of the issue.

    Trailer: Stammemama kalder til samling

    Velkommen til Stammemama-podcasten, hvor vi med antropologiske og psykoterapeutiske briller undersøger fænomenet forældreskab, hvad vi kan lære af andre kulturer lige fra Sydfyn til Sydafrika, og hvor vi tager temperaturen på trivsel og tilknytning i det ganske land. 
    Stammemama rejser rundt i landet og besøger forældre og eksperter, der gavmildt giver et indblik i andre måder at gøre tingene på og serverer viden og inspiration til vores eget (forældre)liv.

    Stammemama-universet er stedet, hvor vi skaber samhørighed, fællesskaber, udvider vores forståelse og muligheder for at skabe, rumme og være i det komplekse familieliv.

    Stammemama kalder til samling. Vil du med?

    Den f**king landsby

    Den f**king landsby

    Er drømmen om landsbyen en enhjørning? Vi taler om sætningen "It takes a village to raise a child”, fordi alle snakker om den, og fordi landsbyen måske er forsvundet? Et fællesskab kræver, at man både gi'r og ta'r. Er vi gode nok til at tage i mod? Og er vi mon villige til også at give? 

    Kom med på rejsen ind i forældreskabet og familielivet sammen med kvinderne bag Stammemama, antropolog Kirstine Reinholdt, og psykoterapeut, Kristine Wiinberg. 

    I denne episode taler vi om sætningen "It takes a village to raise a child”.
    Landsbyen er forsvundet i de danske familier, og mange savner og efterspørger fællesskaber i familielivet. 

    • Hvad betyder sætningen i det hele taget?
    • Hvad associerer danskerne med ordet 'landsby', og hvad savner de af fællesskaber?
    • Et fællesskab kræver, at man både gi'r og ta'r. Er vi gode nok til at tage i mod? Og er vi mon villige til også at give?
    • Kan fællesskabet føles for risikabelt og konfliktfyldt for os at indgå i?

    Familiefællesskaber: Ølivet

    Familiefællesskaber: Ølivet

    Vi besøger Rie, der bor på Strynø, og bliver klogere på, hvorfor man bliver draget af livet på en lille ø. Vi hører om et børneliv, hvor man som forælder måske ikke altid ved, hvor børnene er, men at de altid bliver passet på. Om at give slip på sine teenagere, når de flytter fra øen. Om hvad det kræver mentalt at indgå i et øliv, hvor færgen er den eneste vej væk. Om bedsteforældrekorps og Den Store Ske. 

    Kom med på rejsen ind i forældreskabet og familielivet sammen med kvinderne bag Stammemama, antropolog Kirstine Reinholdt, og psykoterapeut, Kristine Wiinberg. 

    I denne episode i serien ‘Familiefællesskaber i Danmark’ besøger vi Rie, der bor på en lille ø, for at få et indblik i, hvad ølivet og øsamfundet kan byde på i fællesskabsånden. 

    I episoden skal vi bl.a. høre om: 

    • Hvordan ser et børne- og teenageliv ud på en ø? 
    • Hvad kræver det mentalt at indgå i et øliv, hvor færgen er den eneste vej væk og ikke sejler i døgndrift? 
    •  Hvad er et bedsteforældrekorps, og hvordan kan man løse det ikke at have sin familie og nære netværk på øen? 
    • Hvad gør man, hvis ens børn får brug for et specialtilbud, der ikke er på en ø? 

    Kom med på rejsen ind i forældreskabet og familielivet sammen med kvinderne bag Stammemama, antropolog Kirstine Reinholdt, og psykoterapeut, Kristine Wiinberg.

    OBS: I sidste del af episoden er der enkelte steder, hvor teknikken drillede for os. Du går ikke glip af indholdet, det er blot lyden, der er mindre god. Vi lærer heldigvis hele tiden.

    Ældgammel visdom & moderne forældreskab

    Ældgammel visdom & moderne forældreskab

    Hvorfor er det så hårdt at være forældre? Har det altid været sådan? Hvordan ser det ud i andre kulturer, og kan vi trække på nogle erfaringer fra tidligere i vores egen kultur og gøre dem mere nutidige? Kan/skal alting være meningsfuldt? Alt dette og De 4 T'er, en campingvogn og en efterfødselsreaktion.

    Kom med på rejsen ind i forældreskabet og familielivet sammen med kvinderne bag Stammemama, antropolog Kirstine Reinholdt, og psykoterapeut, Kristine Wiinberg. 

    I denne episode bliver vi bl.a. klogere på: 

    • Er det et grundvilkår, at forældreskabet er hårdt, tenderende opslidende, ensomt og endda selvudslettende? 
    • Har det altid været sådan? 
    • Hvordan ser det ud i andre kulturer, og kan vi trække på nogle erfaringer fra tidligere i vores egen kultur og gøre dem mere nutidige med mindre kønsstereotype rollefordelinger?

    Reflections of Fatherhood : Nurturing Lives & Shaping Futures

    Double Celebrations, Endless Reflections: 
    This weekend was a whirlwind of joy as we marked two momentous milestones — my son stepping into his 7th year, and my baby girl ringing in her very first! 

    Fatherhood is more than just raising children; it's a transformative journey, and every year adds a new layer of wisdom and depth. 

    In this episode, I dive deep into my personal reflections on the evolving essence of being a father. From the joys and challenges of guiding a 7-year-old to cherishing the delicate firsts of my daughter's life, join me as I reminisce, reflect, and reconnect with my own roots. 

    Dive into a heartfelt narrative that weaves together inspiration from the present and lessons from the past. This is fatherhood, in all its raw and radiant glory.

    Ep 15 - Michelle Fishpaw - Raising a Survivor of Shaken Baby Syndrome to Adulthood and Independence

    Ep 15 - Michelle Fishpaw - Raising a Survivor of Shaken Baby Syndrome to Adulthood and Independence

    In the 6th episode of our 8-part April Child Abuse Prevention series giving you first-hand perspectives into Shaken Baby Syndrome cases we introduce you to Michelle Fishpaw, mother of Claire who was shaken by her childcare provider when she was just 11 months old.

    Michelle takes us to the day Claire was shaken and the helpless feeling of uncertainty as Claire lay unconscious for 13 hours  after she arrived at the hospital and spent 8 days under constant medical supervision. Michelle describes having to deal with the uncertainty of Claire's outcome even to the point where doctors had to prepare her with the news that Claire may not survive.

    Claire not only survived, but she thrived as her family threw their support around her. Michelle shares the inspiring story of how Claire endured an incredible amount of therapies throughout her life and overcame every obstacle on her way to finding independence and success after high school. And as Claire worked toward recovery, the Fishpaw family dedicated their time for Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS) prevention including passing Claire’s Law in Ohio that brought SBS education to new families and tracked SBS cases. Michelle  talks about writing the book, Claire’s Voice, that shares the genuine experiences of the Fishpaw family in their journey to ensure Claire’s recovery. What Michelle had initially intended to be a way for her to share the story in hopes of helping other families who may have gone through similar trauma, became an outlet that brought healing to her and her family. Brought to you by the National Center on Shaken Baby Syndrome (NCSBS).

    Ep 14 - Greg Williams - Reagan's Rescue, A Grandfather Negotiates the Grief Process after Losing First Granddaughter to SBS/AHT

    Ep 14 - Greg Williams - Reagan's Rescue, A Grandfather Negotiates the Grief Process after Losing First Granddaughter to SBS/AHT

    You’ll meet Greg Williams in Episode 14 of the NCSBS' Attention on Prevention #podcast and the 5th episode in our 8-part April Child Abuse Prevention series diving deep into #ShakenBabySyndrome (SBS). Greg is the grandfather of Reagan, who was shaken and killed by her mother’s boyfriend when Reagan was 2 ½ years old.

    Reagan was Greg’s first grandchild, and they shared a special bond, one that continues even after her passing. Greg takes us on his painful journey. From his suspecting that Reagan was being abused to the mismanaged investigation that resulted in a year before charges were even brought upon the perpetrator. Greg anguishes over the guilt he still feels about what he could have done and whether the family’s accepting a plea deal was the right thing to do.

    Greg chronicles his relationship with Reagan in the journal he started writing for her since her birth and talks about the outlet it provided when he decided to keep journaling for Reagan even after her death. He describes the healing his family felt after they started the charitable fund, Reagan’s Rescue, that helps to keep her memory alive by providing support for families and children in need as well as educating about the dangers of SBS. His journey through the grief process is something he hopes he can share with others who deal with the grief of losing a loved one, and he hopes his story helps families learn to treasure the time that they have together.
