The MacLean Brothers, Scream Therapy, and Sexting vs. Choreplay... the ladies are dishing on current events and the latest in husband-wife relations
The school year is off to a strong start, and Anke, Kim, Lissy, Heather and guest star Jessie are together again for a laugh and a catch up. The ladies talk about putting into action making new friends at a parent's evening and at a 5k... friendship being the subject of last week's podcast... before moving on to chat about the latest news: the MacLean Brothers who rowed from Peru to Australia, the Women's Rugby Tournament (Scotland doing very well!), and the benefits and draw backs of Scream Therapy.
The Edinburgh Society of Unapologetically Imperfect Mothers is unanimous in our opinion that the MacLean brothers are amazing... but don't forget how incredible their mum must be! Stand by for loads of laughs and different perspectives as we find out who amongst the mums is worried about encouraging regular screaming in public and what other questions we have about the utility of screaming as a form of therapy.
Moving on, the ladies provide perspective and advice to a mum who is wondering whether she is failing her wifely duties because she is not always in the mood for sexting. Opinions range from admiration that the mum has been able to do any sexting at all, to encouragement of couples to keep romance alive, to confusion around how one can find any energy or time to sext. Kim brings up the revolutionary counter suggestion of "choreplay" which could (should) replace "foreplay"... where husbands/partners perform household chores to get their partner in the mood. The mums also discuss whether or not we are already extremely attractive to our partners when we do chores and moan about how much we have to do as mums.

Friendships in Motherland: Navigating the Maze of Modern Connection
Anke, Lissy, Rebecca, Heather, and guest star Tammy are sitting down to catch up and dig down deep on how to navigate adult friendships. First the ladies chat about the friends who have moved away, and how we are keeping in touch (visits to Edinburgh, visits to Copenhagen).
The ladies move on to the "friendship conundrum"... why making friends is often more challenging in adulthood vs childhood, the impact on us when good friends move away, and what happens when friends cut ties or disappoint us. The grief is real... and the ladies have personal stories and thoughts to share that everyone can relate to.
According to a 2022 report by the Office for National Statistics, 27% of adults in the UK reported feeling lonely often and always. The ladies talk about how new mothers are particularly vulnerable to feeling lonely (and overwhelmed).. and discuss how societal changes, like the rise of social media and the decline of community-centric living, contributes to this sense of isolation for everyone... mums, singles, younger and older!
So how do we build better bonds as mothers and as adults? The Edinburgh Society of Unapologetically Imperfect Mothers has thoughts and ideas to share.. as well as loads of empathy for people experiencing loneliness. We've all been there!
Join us for this thoughtful and empathetic chat. You might find yourself nodding along... and may even get an idea about how to go out and make a new friend!
