    Die hart van ’n plaasvrou en -ma/ The heart of a farm woman and mom

    2026/04/01 | 35 mins.
    Om ’n plaasvrou te wees, verg krag. Om boonop ’n ma én plaasvrou te wees, verg 'n SUPERKRAG! Gelukkig is Suid-Afrika vol van sulke vroue: ma’s wat elke dag saam met hul mans boer, kinders grootmaak en help om ’n plaas aan die gang te hou.

    In dié episode gesels Daniëlla met Deidré Viljoen van Plaas & Vrou oor die unieke uitdagings van boerdery en die moeilike besluite wat ma’s op plase soms moet neem.

    To be a farm woman requires strength. To be both a mom and a farm woman requires a SUPERPOWER! Fortunately, South Africa is full of such women: moms who farm alongside their husbands every day, raise their children, and help keep a farm running.

    In this episode, Daniëlla chats to Deidré Viljoen from Plaas & Vrou about the unique challenges of farm life and the difficult decisions moms on farms sometimes have to make.

    Wat elke ouer van AI en Chatbots moet weet/ What every parent should know about AI and chatbots

    2026/03/18 | 34 mins.
    Kinders en tieners spandeer al hoe meer tyd met AI (Kunsmatige Intelligensie) apps wat met hulle terugpraat – van "huiswerk helpers" TOT chatbots wat soos “vriende” kan voel.
    Hierdie skuif van sosiale media na persoonlike interaksie met 'n AI bied geleenthede, maar ook nuwe risiko’s: kinders kan maklik persoonlike inligting deel, grense kan vervaag en AI kan selfs onvanpaste of skadelike advies gee.
    In hierdie episode gesels Daniëlla met digitale ouerskap- en kuberveiligheidskenner Rianette Leibowitz van Cyber Wellness with Rianette oor hoe hierdie tegnologie werk en wat ouers móét weet.
    Ons praat oor hoe om kinders te help om hierdie nuwe digitale wêreld te navigeer – want as jy nie verstaan wat aanlyn gebeur nie, kan jy hulle nie beskerm nie.

    Children and teens are spending more and more time on AI (Artificial Intelligence) apps that talk back to them – from “homework helpers” to chatbots that can feel like “friends.” This shift from simply using social media to having personal interactions with AI brings opportunities, but also risks: kids can easily share personal information, boundaries can blur, and AI can even give inappropriate or harmful advice. In this episode, Daniëlla speaks to digital parenting and cybersecurity expert Rianette Leibowitz from Cyber Wellness with Rianette about how this technology works and what parents need to know. We discuss how to help children navigate this new digital world – because if you don’t understand what’s happening online, you can’t protect them.

    Gemolesteer as kind - nou help ek ander ouers die tekens raaksien - Annemarie Gillmer

    2026/03/04 | 40 mins.
    Annemarie Gillmer was maar 11 jaar oud toe 'n man, wat sy en haar ouers geken en vertrou het, haar vir jare begin "groom" (seksueel voorberei) het.
    Hy was 30 jaar ouer as sy. Sy het hom oom genoem.
    Dit het dekades geneem om die trauma te verwerk, maar Annemarie (wat intussen self 'n ma geword het) deel nou haar storie om ander ouers te bemagtig en in te lig.
    Dié episode is 'n moet-luister vir elke ouer, maar ook vir elke volwassene wat as kind self die slagoffer van 'n molesteerder of pedofiel was.

    Annemarie Gillmer was only 11 years old when a man, whom she and her parents knew and trusted, began to "groom" her for years.
    He was 30 years older than her. She called him "oom".
    It took decades to process the trauma, but Annemarie (who has since become a mother herself) is now sharing her story to empower and inform other parents.
    This episode is a must-listen for every parent, but also for every adult who was the victim of a molester or pedophile as a child.

    Ouerskap en prestasie: Die fyn lyn tussen motivering en druk / Parenting and Performance: The Fine Line Between Motivation and Pressure

    2026/02/18 | 34 mins.
    Alle ouers wil die beste vir hul kinders hê... maar soms plaas ons, sonder dat ons dit besef, druk op hulle wat meer skade as goed doen. Wanneer sport, kultuur en akademie oorweldigend begin voel, hoe help ons kinders om hul potensiaal te bereik sonder om hul vreugde en selfvertroue te verloor? In hierdie episode gesels Daniëlla met opvoedkundige sielkundige Hennie Vorster oor hoe ouers balans kan vind tussen motivering en druk. Ons praat oor hoe om kinders emosioneel te ondersteun, hoe om hul eie angs en selfdruk te help bestuur, en hoe mededinging in vandag se samelewing kinders se welstand beïnvloed.

    All parents want the best for their children… but sometimes, without realizing it, we place pressure on them that does more harm than good.
    When sport, cultural activities, and academics start to feel overwhelming, how do we help our children reach their potential without losing their joy and self-confidence?
    In this episode, Daniëlla talks with educational psychologist Hennie Vorster about how parents can find the balance between motivation and pressure. We discuss how to support children emotionally, how to help them manage their own anxiety and self-imposed pressure, and how competition in today’s society affects children’s well-being.

    Donnalee Roberts: Een Keer Om die Son in 2026!/ Donnalee Roberts: Actress. Writer. Producer. Mom.

    2026/02/04 | 46 mins.
    Aktrise Donnalee Roberts is ook as skrywer en vervaardiger betrokke by die treffer-familiereeks Een Keer Om die Son, waarvan die tweede reeks tans op kykNET te sien is.
    Maar terwyl sy op die skerm ’n geskeide vrou vertolk wat nié kinders wil hê nie, lyk die realiteit by haar eie huis heel anders: Sy's getroud met Ivan Botha (ook in die vermaakbedryf), ma van twee besige voorskoolse seuntjies, én bonusma van ’n tienerdogter.
    Haar huis is vol, dit is besig – en dit is alles waarvan sy nog ooit gedroom het.
    Donnalee en Daniëlla gesels oor die balanseertoertjies wat werkende ma’s daagliks aanpak, die dinamika van verskillende geslagte onder een dak, en sy deel ook wat sy by haar eie ma geleer het.

    Actress Donnalee Roberts is also involved as a writer and producer on the hit family series Een Keer Om die Son, with the second season currently airing on kykNET.
    But while she portrays a divorced woman who does not want children on screen , the reality at home looks very different: She is married to Ivan (also in the entertainment industry), mom to two busy preschool boys, and bonus mom to a teenage daughter.
    Her home is full, it’s busy – and it’s everything she has ever dreamed of.
    Donnalee and Daniëlla chat about the balancing acts working moms perform every day, the dynamics of different generations living under one roof, and she also shares what she learned from her own mother.

About 'n Ma & 'n Mikrofoon

'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.
