Baby Brunch | The Parenting Series

This week We are tackling some of Your questions on Baby Brunch!

Minerals & Supplements: Do kids actually need them? We broke down the essentials and how to safely navigate the supplement aisle.

The Tuckshop & Long School Hours: Between sports, extra classes, and long days, kids are burning massive energy. How do we tackle tuckshop temptations and pack enough fuel to keep them going?

The Holiday Disruption: School holidays and changing routines are a major concern for parents. When the structure of the school week vanishes, eating habits often get interrupted. We share tips on how to keep the peace when routines get disrupted.

Dietitian, Jade Seeliger, joins us this week to answer these questions, and more.

"When We feel completely overwhelmed, We might describe it as a crisis..." Are we living in a time of multiple levels of crises?

In this discussion we unpack the mental & physical process of solving 'the crisis.'

Dr Simone Silver is our guest this week, and a specialist in the field of the Mind-Body-Health connection.

How does stress affect our physical health? And what should we do in a time of crisis?

We live in a culture that romanticises the resilient woman. We celebrate the mother who "does it all," the woman that smiles through the storm, and the one who keeps her household running while her own internal world is fracturing.

When you are dealing with a personal crisis - whether it’s a career shift, a relationship ending, a health scare, or just the overwhelming realisation that you don’t know who you are anymore - you don't always want to be strong. Sometimes, you just want to speak to someone.

And we are listening.

There are many Seasons in our lives, good ones, bad ones, ones where We are thriving, or seasons where We just don't feel like making it through... And you might be wondering, when is it my Season to bloom and sparkle?

Ons gesels met 3 merkwaardige Vroue wat openhartig vertel van hul moeilike, en opwindende, "Seisoene." Maar elke moeilike seisoen gebeur dalk met 'n goeie rede, en sodra ons besluit wat die les daarin is, verander dinge.

"We always have a choice, we choose how we experience our Seasons," says Lori Milner.

Along with Therese Bam, and Jolandi Becker, our panel of Moms share the lessons they learnt from the challenging seasons they faced, to find that blossom and sparkle again with a new Season of Joy!

Let’s be honest, Networking feels a lot harder when We’re exhausted, the shirt You’re wearing has a mystery stain, kids' homework is keeping us busy, and most of us would rather be sleeping instead of attending yet another gathering.

But, what If you’re a Mom who wants to build business connections, and struggle with the awkward small talk? Well, then this Podcast is for you!

We are breaking down how to network on Our own terms, no fake corporate energy and chit chat required.

"Powerful networks are about meeting people that are different than you, with different likes & interests, to create a Support Circle"

Understanding how to Network, as a Mom, is life changing, says our guest this week: affectionately known as South Africa's "Networking Queen," Helen Nicholson.

She's already published two best-selling books for guidance on this topic, Networking for Introverts (2024) and Mindfulness: How to Stay Sane in an Insane World (2022).

In this discussion Helen shares the best tips (& secrets) for Networking. And, why it's so important to "make the circle bigger!"

"Dyslexia is not a disease." It simply needs comfort & patience...

Taking the time to understand how dyslexia works is the first step to offer help, says our guest this week, remedial therapist, Elizna Prinsloo.

From the age of 5, signs of dyslexia might become more prevalent, but without understanding the concept, both parents and teachers might think a child is simply stubborn or lazy. Children could be bullied, mistreated, or shunned.

Learn more about Dyslexia in this discussion that opens our minds to a new way of thinking about this condition.
