'n Ma & 'n Mikrofoon

Simoné Pretorius is 'n film-, televisie- en teateraktrise. Maar in hierdie podcast praat sy minder dáároor, en meer oor 'n ander, groter rol: dié as ma. Haar dogtertjie Harper is 'n kleuter en kleinboet James is nog net 'n paar weke oud, en Simoné gesels met Daniëlla oor die hoogtepunte, die uitdagings en die tweeledigheid van ouerskap. Ons praat oor grootword, oor miskrame, die lewe wat uit die dood spruit... en dat formule-baba's darem eindelik ook almal méér as oukei is! Simoné Pretorius is a film, television, and theater actress. But in this podcast, she speaks only a little about that, and more about another, bigger role: being a mom. Her daughter Harper is a toddler, and little James is just a few weeks old. Simoné talks with Daniëlla about the highlights, the challenges, and the dichotomy of parenthood. We discuss growing up, miscarriages, life springing from death... and the fact that, after all, "formula babies" are actually more than just okay! - Intro Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/abbynoise/burst-of-light License code: I430IW70W4DQLJ9Z

Byna al Tarryn Bell se kinders gaan binnekort sterf. Tarryn wéét dit - sy't hulle immers gekies. Talle is gered uit haglike omstandighede: weggegooi in bosse, agtergelaat in hospitale, of verwaarloos en mishandel in hulle ouerhuise. Verskillende ongeneeslike siektes is by hulle almal gediagnoseer, wat beteken hulle het net weke of maande oor om te leef. Nou maak Tarryn, haar man en biologiese kinders, en haar span by die Butterfly Palliative Home seker dat dié sterwende kinders in hulle laaste dae die nodige sorg kry - sowel as en liefde, liefde, en nog liefde. Dis nie maklik nie, want dis duur om vir terminale siek kinders te sorg en hulle sukkel elke maand om kop bo water te hou. Daniëlla praat ook met Tarryn oor hoe sy en haar gesin dié gereelde trauma hanteer wanneer 'n kind sterf en wat hulle geleer het van die dood. Dié is 'n gesprek met 'n uitsonderlike ma wat jou nie ongeraak kan laat nie. {{Volg Tarryn en die werk wat hulle doen op Facebook of Instagram by "Butterfly Palliative Home"}} Almost all of Tarryn Bell's children are going to die soon. Tarryn knows this - after all, she chose them. Many of them were rescued from dire circumstances - abandoned in bushes, left behind in hospitals, or neglected and abused in their own homes. Various incurable diseases have been diagnosed in all of them, meaning they have only weeks or months left to live. Now Tarryn, her family, and her team at the Butterfly Palliative Home ensure that these dying children receive the necessary care in their final days - as well as love, love, and more love. It's not easy - because it's expensive to care for terminally ill children, and the Butterfly Home struggles every month to stay afloat. Daniëlla also asks Tarryn how she and her family handle the trauma when a child dies and what they have learned from death. This is a conversation with an exceptional mother that will not leave you untouched. {{Follow Tarryn and the work they do on Facebook or Instagram at "Butterfly Palliative Home"}} Intro Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/abbynoise/burst-of-light License code: I430IW70W4DQLJ9Z
