The Salty Mums Podcast

Rebecca Miles
The Salty Mums Podcast

Two mums, both podcast listeners, both at the same church. But we both felt there was something missing. Whilst we loved our faith or parenting podcasts, few podcasts seemed to bring the two together. And when they did, they were more about the mechanics of parenting- sibling rivalry, getting your kids to read the Bible etc. But what about dealing with all the cultural and social stuff we encounter as Mum’s every day? Divorce, grief, diversity, money, mental health, disability, going back to work, friendships, illness – the list is endless but they affect our lives as mothers and our walk with Jesus. When secular culture is talking about all these things and we can’t hear God in the discussion it can seem confusing and isolating. We felt called to add Jesus to the equation of life as a mum by sharing women’s stories and experiences of how Jesus has impacted their walk with him. Jesus tells us we’re “the salt of the earth” (Matt 5.13) and we need to keep salty- that means in our whole lives and that means we need to talk about where Jesus is in motherhood too.

    Becky Sedgwick- being a single mum

    On this week's episode we talk to Becky Sedgwick from Parenting for Faith, about being a single mum. It's a situation very few mothers plan for or expect, but many end up in. Becky tells her story of how her faith helped her in her darker moments (including a rather surprising verse God led her to from the Bible), and then we spend a long time unpacking what we can do as individuals and the Church to better support single parents. RESOURCES Becky has written a number of articles for Parenting for Faith on this topic; https://www.parentingforfaith.brf.org.uk/post/helping-single-parents-flourish-in-church/ https://www.parentingforfaith.brf.org.uk/post/when-fathers-day-isnt-easy/ https://www.parentingforfaith.brf.org.uk/post/when-your-family-breaks-down/ https://www.parentingforfaith.brf.org.uk/post/god-promises-to-be-a-father-to-the-fatherless-what-happens-if-we-take-him-at-his-word/ https://www.parentingforfaith.brf.org.uk/post/lessons-from-my-wood/ https://www.parentingforfaith.brf.org.uk/post/supporting-families-through-separation-and-divorce/ You can find Parenting for Faith @parentingforfaithbrf or at www.parentingforfaith.brf.org.uk/welcome.

    Hope Virgo - Eating Disorders

    This week we're joined by Hope Virgo, who is an Eating Disorder campaigner and author, but is also recovering from an eating disorder herself. Hope helps us break down many of the myths around eating disorders, highlights where there's need for change in the NHS, talks about the difficulties of becoming a mother in the shadow of an eating disorder, and gives us great insight in how we can be salt and light to those around us who might be struggling with an eating disorder. This was a topic I've wanted to cover for a while so I was so grateful to get Hope's insight and hear her talk so honestly and openly about the struggles she's faced. RESOURCES You can find Hope Virgo on Instagram @hopevirgo_ Sign Hope's open letter about no one should be dying with an eating disorder in 2023 here https://the.organise.network/campaigns/network-no-one-should-be-dying-of-an-eating-disorder-in-2023-8fffc72793b87a94?utm_campaign=eqsgJorTNd&utm_medium=whatsapp&utm_source=share To sign her petition #beatthescales go to https://www.change.org/p/eating-disorders-are-not-just-about-weight-dumpthescales And find her three books including her latest one 'You are free (even if you don''t feel like it) here https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hope-Virgo/e/B01NBIRW4V/ref=dp_byline_cont_ebooks_1 FINALLY… .Remember to subscribe, and also be sure to let us know what you think by leaving us a review.If you’ve got any questions or suggestions you can email us at saltymumspodcast@gmail.comYou can find us on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter @saltymumspod.
