Ivor Swartz – Van Verlore Seun tot Betrokke Pa/ Ivor Swartz – From a Lost Son to a Present Father
Ivor Swartz se kinderdae-herinneringe aan Vadersdag is nie gevul met vreugde nie. Hy het sy pa op drie verloor, as jong man ses jaar in die tronk deurgebring nadat hy sy broer doodgemaak het, en hy het lank swaar gedra aan die diep wonde van ’n lewe sonder ’n teenwoordige pa.
Ivor deel met Daniëlla lesse oor sy eie onlangse reis as ouer – om te werk deur die seer van die verlede, en te leer hoe om 'n goeie pa te wees, sonder dat hy self een gehad het.
Ivor werk ook gereeld met jongmense. Hy kén die hart van 'n tiener en deel uit daardie perspektief raad vir elke pa en ouer wat béter wil wees vir hulle kinders.
Ivor Swartz’s childhood memories of Father’s Day aren’t filled with joy. He lost his father at the age of three, spent six years in prison as a young man after killing his brother, and carried the weight of growing up without a present dad. In this honest conversation with Daniëlla, Ivor shares what he’s learned on his recent journey as a father – working through the pain of the past and learning how to be a good dad, even though he never had one himself. Ivor also works closely with young people, and he understands the heart of a teenager. He offers real, heartfelt advice for any parent who wants to show up and do better for their children.

'n Ma & 'n Mikrofoon is 'n podcast wat die wêreld van die moderne Afrikaanse ma weerspieel. Aanbieder Daniëlla van Heerden (self 'n ma van twee) voer openhartige gesprekke met kenners en spesiale gaste. Die fokus is nie net babas en kinders se gesondheid nie, maar ook ma's se emosionele welstand.
Hier sal jy saam lag vir daardie oomblikke wat net 'n ma kan verstaan - soos dat vyf minute alleen in die motor soms kan tel as "me-time"!
Meer ernstige onderwerpe soos postpartum depressie, tantrums en boelies word egter ook openlik bespreek.
Alledaagse én bekende ma's kom kuier ook in die ateljee om hulle stories te deel.
'n Ma & 'n Mikrofoon sal jou inspireer, bemagtig en herinner dat jy (ten spyte daarvan dat jy soms twyfel) altyd die beste ma is vir jou kind.
'n Ma & 'n Mikrofoon is a podcast that reflects the world of the modern Afrikaans mom.
Host Daniëlla van Heerden (herself a mom of two) engages in candid conversations with experts and special guests.
The focus extends beyond the health of babies and children to encompass the emotional well-being of mothers.
Here, you'll share laughter for those moments only another mom can understand – like how five minutes alone in the car can sometimes count as "me-time"!
However, more serious topics such as postpartum depression, tantrums, and bullying are also openly discussed.
Everyday and well-known moms alike drop by the studio to share their stories.
'n Ma & 'n Mikrofoon will inspire, empower, and remind you that, despite moments of doubt, you are always the best mom for your child.
