"Every Disabled Person Knows Each Other" 👀 That's a very common misconception that we hear often ❌ The Disabled community is the BIGGEST minority in the world, and as such, there is a lot of nuance within it. Not every Disabled person knows each other, or has the same thoughts and opinions to everyone else in the community. That's why working with the community and actually researching what they need from a brand is ESSENTIAL. If you're looking to understand the community a bit better, our insight projects would help you achieve exactly that! - https://lnkd.in/eHwXiXVZ VD: Clip from a podcast episode with Dom and Martyn. Dom is speaking, he's a white male with dark facial hair, a black cap and grey top, and he's sitting on his powered wheelchair. Martyn, next to him, is a white male with short brown hair, wearing a burgundy jumper and sitting on his powered wheelchair.

As working moms, we’re working on average 98 hours a week between our responsibilities at home and work. We’re the default for everything, especially at home, because there’s an expectation that it’s the woman’s job. It’s no surprise that the stress of MANAGING IT ALL is putting an enormous amount of strain on our relationships, especially in two partner homes. So much so, that 25% of couples end up divorcing because of those little things–the sponge left in the sink, the garbage not being taken out. We start to feel diminished and invalidated. Sharing the domestic load is such a triggering conversation, we’d rather not have it. But, Eve Rodsky of The Fair Play Policy Institute is going to show us how to have it in a healthy way, through a three-step approach that is saving relationships. Eve is the best-selling author of Fair Play, which became a documentary, and is an expert on the gender division of labor. She’s joining me on the podcast to talk about this tough topic and why we can no longer afford to avoid it, nor diminish our own feelings about it. I’m curious, how do you share the domestic load at home? 🎧 Checkout the podcast episode here: https://lnkd.in/e6T2nHGP #workingmoms #fairplay #fairplaylife #workingmom

With #Christmas passed us, (although a large minority of U.S. adults might not celebrate it) many people are focusing on #NewYear2025. Too many people persist with #Resolutions! Instead, how about planning new #Goals? As for January, NPR's "Consider This" has a segment about making goals (or resolutions) which are bite-sized enough to act on, and complete: https://lnkd.in/gvCUVV2F For example, how about recruiting a #Goals buddy? Yes. Act and aspire on the buddy system...

And to support our community on one of the most pivotal election days of our time, we’re re-releasing our episode with the amazing Beth Silvers and Sarah Stewart Holland, co-hosts of Pantsuit Politics. We’ve all been feeling it—the anxiety of an election cycle that seems endless, the overwhelming flood of news, the constant social media debates, and the nonstop headlines. It can feel like we're caught in a whirlwind of information and opinions, and it’s really hard to know how to process it all while staying grounded. 🌟 At Mighty as a Mother Podcast, we’re holding onto hope for a future where families are supported, women have more choices, and our children are safe. 🌟 Today's episode is a must-listen: a conversation about fostering grace-filled political dialogue, navigating divisive times, and finding common ground—even with those who see things differently. And as we navigate the complex emotions of Election Day, we’re sending you a bit of peace and grounding—may you find clarity and stay true to your values. 🙏 And remember Sarah's inspiring words — our humanity is shared. Today’s differences don’t change the love we share—our friends and family will still be our friends and family tomorrow. Let’s hold onto what matters most. 💗 • • • #ElectionDay #Vote #WorkingMom #VoteLikeAMother

A 2019 YouGov poll found that one in five men have no close friends. That's compared to one in ten women. Meaningful connections are seemingly tough to come by if you have a Y chromosome. This week on Middle Man, I continue the Midlife Stories series of conversations with everyday people by talking to Adam Cranfield, who laments just how difficult it is to have a meaningful relationship with another man. 👉 We discuss the stereotypical male focus on needing an activity to bond, and why men struggle to organise and sustain deep relationships compared to women, who are generally better at maintaining social networks 👉 We talk about how workplace pressures and societal expectations can lead men to feel disconnected from their true selves 👉 And we chat about fatherhood and bringing up boys, about the role of therapy, and about the differences between men and women. It's a bit of a ramble chat, but in a good way, because these conversations are not supposed to be scripted or sanitised 😊 You can find the show wherever you listen to podcasts right now 🎧 Why do YOU think men can't have friends??

We often hear about unintended consequences that come from a social policy that has good intentions. And it’s so important we all learn from them so the same mistakes are not repeated . This podcast from the highly regarded Freakonomics team looks at a few examples including the impact on employment for people with disability in America after the passing of the famous Americans with Disabilities Act which had a goal to increase it. The outcome? Not good. What resonates for me in this space is the campaign by some to close special schools and end supported employment to achieve greater inclusion. It’s a great intention/goal and its one I am committed to , but history tells us repeatedly things nearly always aren’t as simple as they seem and often the outcomes that result from well intentioned Policies are not achieved or are even worse. https://lnkd.in/gKhsDTjw
