Jo Hargreaves: connecting the brain and the Bible

I've wanted to get Jo (otherwise known as @the.faith.filled.therapist) on the podcast for a long time as connects therapy and theology, the brain and the Bible! This episode is full of insight to bring compassion to us all, but especially Mums about keeping ourselves regulated and calm, and being kind to ourselves when we aren't either of these things. What I love is Jo's work just shows how cleverly God made every part of us and that with prayer, singing praise and the words of the Bible He's given us so many tools to help regulate the amazing nervous systems He made us with. It's a fascinating episode!

Jayne Manfredi: Faith, Menopause and Motherhood

Buckle in as this is a bumper long episode but totally worth it with this week's guest, Jayne Manfredi who came on to talk about faith, menopause and motherhood. Whether you haven't thought about menopause/midlife yet, are on the verge of this time of life, or in the midst of it (or you're a man just wanting to learn more) this chat with Jayne is full of such useful insight, wisdom, practical help and compassion. Women in their midlife are crucial to our churches (just look at the rotas in church) yet so many women can come to feel invisible, lonely and downright angry as they navigate the hormonal storm of the perimenopausal years. Jayne talks about how we can do better as a Church in allowing women to feel seen by not making menopause a taboo in our churches, but instead supporting women through this stage of life. RESOURCES You can follow Jayne on Twitter @thewomenfredi Jayne's book "Waking the Women" is out now https://standrewsbookshop.co.uk/product/waking-the-women/?srsltid=AfmBOooiIRdCGbIPeegwis1lwFEQTWEMt-XOLUN5KCO9dooSmI4sp-2N FINALLY...

Steph Archer- Politics and Motherhood

Release date of this episode is polling day 2024- I actually recorded this episode with Steph Archer who was worked in both national- and local politics, back in January before I became involved in local politics myself. Cue a local election, parenting and other parts of life the podcast had to take a backseat, and then after the local elections, just when I thought I'd have time to update the podcast Rishi Sunak announced the general election and my life got very busy again. But in a moment of madness this week I decided I had to get this episode out before polling day was over! Anyway, on this week's episode we talk about Steph's political career so far, how she juggles being a local councillor with motherhood, how her faith and motherhood impacts her politics, and then we discuss more generally whether as Christian mums we should (and how) engage with politics more. .Remember to subscribe, and also be sure to let us know what you think by leaving us a review.If you’ve got any questions or suggestions you can email us at saltymumspodcast@gmail.com You can find us on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter @saltymumspod.

Andi Russell - Infertility, being an "older" mum & mothers in prison

On this week's episode we have the powerhouse that is Andi Russell- honestly what a woman of faith! And she seems to have done so many different things too! Anyway, Andi takes us through their very long journey to parenthood, a journey at times it didn't seem would end with a pregnancy but after 11 years they had a daughter. It's an incredible story of hope where Andi admits they often clung too by the tips of their fingers! We then talk about her being an "older Mum" (NB: she raised this as a topic, not me- she looks younger than me and I'm 35!), and finally we talk about Andi's incredible new project Alabaster Coaching which is about coaching mothers who are in the prison system.

Elle Limebear & Jane Kirby- Anxiety and Motherhood

Anxiety is at epidemic levels globally, mothers included. This is why I invited Elle Limebear and Jane Kirby to talk about their experience of anxiety and the book, Say Goodbye to Anxiety, they've recently published about how they broke free of the stronghold of anxiety in their life. We discuss how motherhood and faith have impacted their struggle with anxiety, as well as how to better support other mums who are experiencing anxiety.

Temporada 2

Becky Sedgwick- being a single mum

On this week's episode we talk to Becky Sedgwick from Parenting for Faith, about being a single mum. It's a situation very few mothers plan for or expect, but many end up in. Becky tells her story of how her faith helped her in her darker moments (including a rather surprising verse God led her to from the Bible), and then we spend a long time unpacking what we can do as individuals and the Church to better support single parents. RESOURCES Becky has written a number of articles for Parenting for Faith on this topic; https://www.parentingforfaith.brf.org.uk/post/helping-single-parents-flourish-in-church/ https://www.parentingforfaith.brf.org.uk/post/when-fathers-day-isnt-easy/ https://www.parentingforfaith.brf.org.uk/post/when-your-family-breaks-down/ https://www.parentingforfaith.brf.org.uk/post/god-promises-to-be-a-father-to-the-fatherless-what-happens-if-we-take-him-at-his-word/ https://www.parentingforfaith.brf.org.uk/post/lessons-from-my-wood/ https://www.parentingforfaith.brf.org.uk/post/supporting-families-through-separation-and-divorce/ You can find Parenting for Faith @parentingforfaithbrf or at www.parentingforfaith.brf.org.uk/welcome.

Sophie Bannister- Supporting mothers in ministry

Have you ever had to take your kids into work? Imagine having to do this once a week, every week! This is the reality for many mothers involved in ministry and church leadership- what's it like parenting in front of the people you're working with? How do you juggle the (often) "un-childcare" friendly hours of being a vicar? To answer this we have Sophie Bannister who is a vicar in Lincolnshire, but also serves on the leadership teams of the Junia network which supports ordained women and Prisca which trains preachers. We discuss her journey to becoming a vicar and a mother (which overlap), the challenges of being a parent in front of your congregation and her work with the Junia and Prisca networks. She also gives us some great advice how to better support our Church leaders who are also parents.

Hope helps us break down many of the myths around eating disorders, highlights where there's need for change in the NHS, talks about the difficulties of becoming a mother in the shadow of an eating disorder, and gives us great insight in how we can be salt and light to those around us who might be struggling with an eating disorder.

Claire Hailwood- Adoption & Fostering

Every 15 minutes a child gets taken into the care system in the UK. You can't talk about motherhood without talking about adoption and fostering and that's why I was delighted this week for Claire Hailwood, a mum to 4 herself including adopted children, from the leading adoption and fostering charity Home for Good. Claire oozes passion for this topic and has lived experience and wisdom to share with us.
