The ladies continue chatting about the experiences they’ve had when in singledom and over 40. Where do you meet people? How have things changed? Do men our age have the same attraction? Or is it more common for the “cougar” approach to relationships?
Ever thought about trying internet dating? Finding yourself single in the midst of your life can be daunting, but today's topic covers the experiences our ladies have had. Starting again, Tinder, Bumble or other dating sites have been tried and the results between our hosts have been different. Let alone mind boggle those in the group who are happily married! This episode will have you laughing with this R18 episode.
One of the latest trends that women are finding helping is Yoga Nidra, or “Posh sleeping” as it is more commonly known. Today the ladies chat about the power of the power nap and how this method could be worth a try especially when menopausal. We touch on bone density and the contributing factors that can increase your risk from medication to stories of eating disorders as a teenager.
Recent studies show a link between menopause and Alzheimer's and today Fi, Tracey and Marcia share their findings and what you can do to get the right information you need and how to keep your brain healthy.
Today we talk about the stresses we face as a mum. Dealing with life - as a mother, partner, wife, daughter, sister and friend. Hear about how to recognise stress and how normal it is to feel the way you do at times; where to go for help and who to reach out too.
Managing school holidays on a budget can be incredibly hard, and today the Wāhine Atua ladies talk about what they’ve been doing - with their tamariki and mokos that haven’t cost an arm and a leg. They talk about what their Christmas looked like and highlight some of the attractions they’ve visited.
Hapū Wānanga ki Taranaki is an amazing kaupapa Māori childbirth education programme that prepares whānau for labour, birthday and parenting, delivering antenatal education grounded in Tikanga and mātauranga Māori, and Māori birthing practises. Tracey catches up with Tawera and Aroha, two amazing wāhine whose mahi is just incredible.
Awareness of Peri Menopause and Menopause has increased, thankfully and in today’s episode Tracey replays an interview she had last year with Petra Bagust ahead of her show “Hot Mess” with Nikki Bezant that promoted conversation around what was once known as “The Change”.
Krystal joins us again this week in this episode that follows on from her kōrero around her getting her Moko Kauae. We talk about racism, identity and stigmatism faced here in Taranaki in this thought provoking episode.
Krystal Burrelll joins the Wāhine Atua ladies today to talk about her decision to have a Moko Kauae. For NZ Māori women, the Moko Kauae, or traditional female chin tattoo, is considered a physical manifestation of their true identity. It is believed that every Māori woman wears a moko on the inside, close to their heart and when they are ready, the tattoo artist brings it to the surface of what was on the inside.
Studying as a mature student can often seem daunting when considering options. Both Marcia, Tracey and Fi have all returned to study at one point as adult learners and today we hear about their experiences. Whether it’s as an undergrad or post grad, or learning a new skill or hobby, the benefits of ongoing learning can be tremendous.
As the new year approaches, we begin to ponder our resolutions for the upcoming year, or do we. Today we chat about what resolutions have been made in the past and alternatives you may consider.
When it comes to the giving and receiving of gifts, we all have experienced some blunders. On today’s show, these Taranaki wahine share stories of the good, the bad and the ugly in this humourous reflection on gift giving.
Joining us on the show today is Bex and Fi who have both been on a health journey around losing weight. In this week’s episode we talk about the fad diets and the tools used for effective weight loss and how hard it is to be approved for publicly funded weight loss surgery in Taranaki and whether this is the right decision when health issues that could be improved by surgery such as this, have such a cost on the system and would it be better to fund more surgeries.
With Christmas just around the corner, Marcia shares her stories of growing up in the UK and the traditions of Christmas in her family. Compared to the summery ones, we have in NZ and how she has embraced Kiwi culture. From Pav’s to boozy trifles, getting shopping done early to the craze of supermarkets shutting for a day, Marcia & Tracey take a light hearted look at the festive season.
