Die geheim van tieners grootmaak/ The secret to raising teenagers
2026/05/27 | 38 mins.
“Los jou tiener bietjie uit!”

Omstrede woorde, maar dis presies wat Stefanie Minnar van “Ouer Tiener Harmonie” in hierdie episode vir ouers sê. Sy vertel vir Daniëlla hoekom tieners MOET leer om onafhanklik te wees, hul eie besluite te neem en selfs groot foute te maak, sodat hulle eendag die nes suksesvol kan verlaat.

Stefanie deel praktiese raad oor dinge wat ouers sommer vandag nog moet ophou doen vir hul tieners - en verduidelik waarom sy glo matrikulante móét kans kry om ervarings soos Plett Rage te beleef.

“Leave your teenager alone!”

Controversial words - but that’s exactly what Stefanie Minnar from “Ouer Tiener Harmonie” says to parents in this episode. She tells Daniëlla why teenagers NEED to learn independence, make their own decisions, and even make huge mistakes, so they can eventually leave the nest successfully.

Stefanie shares practical advice on things parents should stop doing for their teens today, and explains why she believes matric students should be allowed to experience places like Plett Rage.

An conversation about boundaries, trust, letting go, and why “helicopter parenting” can sometimes do more harm than good.

Tienerma vertel: “Ek was 15… en swanger” / Teen Mom Shares: “I Was 15… and Pregnant”
2026/05/13 | 24 mins.
In 2019 het Junandi Meyer ’n brief aan die tydskrif Baba & Kleuter geskryf. Sy was net 15 jaar oud… en swanger.
“Ek is dalk jonger as die ander ma’s,” het sy geskryf, “maar my opgewondenheid is net so groot soos hulle s’n. Ek verdien ook om ’n ma te wees, ten spyte van my fout.”
Sewe jaar later het Daniëlla vir Junandi opgespoor om uit te vind wat ná daardie lewensveranderende oomblik gebeur het.
Hierdie is haar storie.

In 2019, Junandi Meyer wrote a letter to Baba & Kleuter magazine. She was only 15 years old… and pregnant.
“I may be younger than the other moms,” she wrote, “but my excitement is just as big as theirs. I also deserve to be a mom, despite my mistake.”
Seven years later, Daniëlla tracked Junandi down to find out what happened after that life-changing moment.
This is her story.

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.

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.
