On Dopamine and the Art of Being Fully Alive Nov 28, 2023

Show notes

Everywhere you look in today’s culture, there is an invitation to escape the uncomfortable and unpleasant things in life, and to indulge instead in things that make us feel good. But when the balance tips too far in favour of complete exclusion of anything other than pleasure, one may have to stop to consider… is this truly the way to long-lasting happiness, or is there an even deeper truth that we may be missing? This week, we are chatting about dopamine detoxes: what we've been hearing and seeing online, and why now might just be the best time to consider doing one!

Contentment, Lagom and Living Life in the Balance Nov 21, 2023

Show notes

We live in a world of great excess. Advertisements and the media beckon from every corner of our culture to indulge and to seek a life of unbridled luxury. But does this truly make us happy? This week, we are chatting about the art of a balanced life, our quest for contentment and a wonderful Swedish concept called Lagom.

The Modern Lady Throwback: Shouldering Emotional Labour at Home Nov 14, 2023

Show notes

This week, we are excited to re-release one of our episodes from Season 1 of The Modern Lady Podcast! From the vault: "Life is often made up of all those little moments that come together in big ways. Women throughout history know exactly what those little things are and tend to carry the brunt of the responsibility for taking care of them for their households. In this week’s episode, we respond to an online post discussing emotional labour in marriage and discuss what it is, exactly, and how to put it all into proper perspective." (Originally aired: July 2, 2019)

Loving the House You're In Nov 07, 2023

Show notes

Home is where the heart is - it’s a message near, dear and familiar to us here in the Modern Lady community! But sometimes, caring for our homes is not always easy - sometimes homemaking is challenging and sometimes, it can feel like our houses, rather than working for us, almost seem like they’re may be doing the opposite. In those moments, it’s time for a pivot: of heart, of hearth and of home! This week, we're chatting about loving the home we're in, our goals and ambitions in preparing and keeping a home full of warmth, love and joy, and what to do during the times when the challenge of it all requires hard work and perseverance!

The History of Hallowe'en Oct 31, 2023

Show notes

The later days of October introduce a new chill to the air - both in the natural world as temperatures drop and in society as we anticipate Hallowe’en. But there is also stirring within and of the heart for many people around the world because this time of year brings to the forefront of our minds the reality of death and spurs the remembrance of those gone before us. Though at times it can be a contentious discussion, we were fascinated by the real history of Hallowe'en and how what is presented in our culture today may be missing quite a lot of the mark.

Losing Yourself In Motherhood Oct 24, 2023

Show notes

There’s no doubt that motherhood changes a woman - this has been the experience of mothers all over the world since the beginning of time! But lately, we’ve been hearing more and more talk on the subject of LOSING yourself in motherhood and we’ve been wondering… perhaps there’s more than one way to take that. This week, we're chatting about the voices in a mother's head, matrescence, and how the idea of losing yourself in motherhood could actually help you find yourself in some ways. Also this week, we're so excited to invite a few of our listeners on the podcast for the first time to share THEIR advice to new moms!

Navigating Newstalk Oct 17, 2023

Show notes

The landscape of the mainstream news and media has drastically changed over the the last two or three decades - from the sheer amount of outlets from which one could get their news, to the pervasiveness of opinion blurring the lines between editorial and journalistic reports, to say that consuming the news is confusing would be an understatement! So where do we even start to navigate our way through the media? This week, we're chatting about news literacy and the necessity of context, and we're sharing our favourite go-to journalistic sources.

Bad Mood Busters Oct 10, 2023

Show notes

It’s an irksome reality, but true nonetheless: bad moods come for us all. We often talk here on the podcast about the benefits of cheerfulness and the necessity of joy, but… what to do on those inevitable days when we’re just stuck in a funk? We’ve all been there - but sometimes, as we know here on the podcast, knowing more about why we feel or think the way we do, and having some ready tools in our arsenal, can make all the difference!

Keep Going: You're Doing Better Than You Think! Oct 03, 2023

Show notes

Welcome to Season 6 of The Modern Lady Podcast! We are so excited to be back and chatting wtih you all! This week, we're discussing what it means to be a good person - and why it matters that we persevere in our pursuit to be one. Sometimes, we can be our own worst critics and it’s no secret that we are often hardest on ourselves. But our mindset matters and what lies within us may better than you think!
