I never thought my 150th episode would be about a pandemic and the stress it brings, but there you have it. In this episode I talk about strategies to tangibly manage your stress during this time, working from home with or without children, expectation management, financial fear and more. 

I also share some great resources that you can find at http://stresslessladies.podia.com 

It's March, which means 92% of people gave up on their weight loss resolutions and are likely beating themselves up - which is GARBAGE. Today I'm joined by my co-creator of Stress Less About Your Body to talk about her journey to body love, intuitive eating and why the diet industry is making you feel bad about what you eat, how you look, or the number inside your pants. 

Amy shares her strategies to loving her body, what needed to be in place and what it's opened up for her in her life. 

Listen to the end for a special promo for our listeners!

In this episode of Modern Manhood, we're going to start something new and hopefully something continous. A way of reacting to the news cycle and having some fluid conversations with someone who is not only a good friend, someone who came up in the volunteer space around gender about the same time. Introducing "Cold Takes" a space to talk about articles and everyday life with my co-host Veronika Ilich, coordinator for Next Gen Men.

In this episode, we talk about BBC report about worldwide UN gender studies. And another report where it showed mothers being more unpleasant about little boy's emotions than fathers.

This week I'm honoured to be joined by YouTuber, podcaster and epic momma bear, Amanda Muse. We talk about how Amanda got into YouTube, what it was like having and raising babies in Malaysia, what self-care has looked like at different stages of motherhood, building your own career, trusting your gut in all facets of your life and more. Amanda was open and vulnerable in sharing her experience of sexual assault and the tangible strategies she used to work through the trauma. I applaud her for her honesty and I know it will help so many listeners.
