| 6/24/26 | ![]() Raising Bilingual Children in the Netherlands: What Summer Travel Really Does for Heritage Language Development | Your child speaks the school language all year without thinking. Your language — the one you grew up in, the one your parents use, the one you hoped would just stick — has to fight for space. And then summer comes. You get on a plane. And suddenly the whole dynamic shifts.In this episode, Eva talks to multilingualism specialist Mimi about what really happens to language development when families travel home — and why most parents underestimate how significant that window actually is.They talk about the child who understands everything but answers in the wrong language, why love of family isn't always enough motivation, and how to have the conversations that actually help your child build a relationship with their own multilingual identity — not just manage it.Practical, honest, and grounded in lived experience as a multilingual parent herself, Mimi brings a warmth to this topic that cuts through the anxiety and gives you something real to do.For international families in the Netherlands navigating language, identity, and belonging. | — | ||||||
| 6/20/26 | ![]() Coparenting After Separation in the Netherlands: One Dad's Honest Story | What actually happens after a relationship ends — when you have children together, you're living in the Netherlands, and your village is far away?Niko, a German dad, joins us this week to talk honestly about something most men never say out loud: the grief, the guilt, the fear of what separation would do to his kids — and how he came out the other side.They talk about growing apart after years together, the question he had to ask himself when staying felt like slowly disappearing, why he believes ending a marriage and ending a family are not the same thing, and how he and his ex built a coparenting relationship they're both proud of.This is not a conversation about divorce being easy. It's a conversation about what's possible when two parents put their children first — and take care of themselves in the process.For any dad who is struggling and hasn't told anyone yet: this one's for you.RESOURCES — Nationwide NetherlandsFor children:KIES (Kinderen In Een Scheiding Situaties) — free municipality-funded support groups for children aged 4–18.

| 6/17/26 | ![]() Why Becoming a Dad Made Me Finally Realise I Had ADD - Mens Mental Health Week | If you became a father and suddenly felt like you couldn't keep up — with the admin, the overwhelm, the switching, the forgetting — this episode is for you.Liam, founder of Dads Do Art and familiar Dam Parenting voice, joins Eva to talk about his late ADD diagnosis. What fatherhood revealed that decades of coping had hidden. How he navigated the Dutch healthcare system — the huisarts, the waiting lists, the private vs public route. Why he initially thought he'd fooled the professionals. What medication actually changed, and what it didn't. And the moment his mum arrived at the diagnostic session with every school report from age seven, and everything finally made sense.This episode covers: adult ADHD and ADD diagnosis in the Netherlands, neurodiversity and fatherhood, burnout and undiagnosed attention difficulties, ADHD medication, ADHD therapy, and the very first step to take if you think this might be you.For international parents in the Netherlands.

| 5/31/26 | ![]() The Word They Used to Silence Women — And How We're Taking It Back | Gossip. Gossib. Godsib. The same word — and the meaning was changed on purpose. Before gossip became something shameful, it meant godsib: God's sibling. Your circle. The women who gathered around you when you gave birth, who cooked and held and stayed. That tradition was deliberately dismantled — and we are reclaiming it.In this final episode of the Maternal Mental Health Month series, I sit down with artist Sanne Freijdag, whose project the Gossib Gathering is doing exactly that: bringing women together over fabric, stitching, and the kind of honest conversation that happens when your hands are busy and your guard is down.We cover the medieval history of women's gathering spaces, how the quilting circle became women's last sanctioned meeting place, the science of why working with your hands is so healing, and what matrescence — the becoming of a mother — has to do with all of it.And we launch the next session: three Sunday sessions in Amsterdam Oost where we'll be making a quilt together for one pregnant woman in our community. Because you can't always see your village — but you can make something that proves it exists.You don't need experience. You just need to show up.

| 5/23/26 | ![]() Postpartum Mental Health in the Netherlands: Veronika's Honest Story | In the Netherlands, if you are experiencing postpartum depression (PPD), your first point of contact should be your huisarts (general practitioner) or verloskundige (midwife). They can formally diagnose you and provide a referral to specialized, Dutch healthcare-covered psychological care.There is the Pop Poli clinic, which we prevoiusly had on as a guest 2 years ago, A POP-poli (Psychiatrie, Obstetrie, Pediatrie) is a specialized outpatient clinic in Dutch hospitals that provides care for women with a desire to have children, who are pregnant, or who have recently given birth, and who are dealing with mental health challenges. They are located in all major hospitals:OLVG Amsterdam, St Antonius Utrecht, Catharina Ziekenhuis Eindhoven, Antes Rotterdam are some examples. Equally there are nationwide psychological support teams which you can go through your huisarts to get referred to such as: Psyche zwangerschap and Postpartum Centrum Nederland | — | ||||||
| 5/20/26 | ![]() The Hidden Mental Load of Raising Multilingual Children (And Why It's Not the Languages) | We talk a lot about the beauty of raising multilingual children — the richness, the connection, the gift of language. But what about what it actually costs to hold it all together?In this episode for Maternal Mental Health Month, host Eva welcomes back multilingual family coach Mimi from Growing up Multilingual, for an honest conversation about the side of language parenting that rarely gets named: the mental load.They explore why it's not the languages themselves that wear you down — it's the isolation, the pressure to stay consistent when life isn't, the guilt, the grief, and the endless feeling of being the only one keeping it all from slipping away.Mimi also shares what actually helps: building community, creating simple and realistic plans, sharing the responsibility, and — perhaps most importantly — knowing when to let go.If you've ever asked yourself "am I doing enough?" or "is it too late?" — this one's for you.Topics covered:– Why multilingualism isn't the problem, but the conditions around it often are– The perfectionism trap and how social media distorts reality– What to do when one parent carries all the language responsibility– Practical ways to reduce the mental load without abandoning your goals– What to prioritise when things feel truly overwhelming | — | ||||||
| 5/18/26 | ![]() The Algorithm Isn't Your Friend Postpartum with Eva from the Joy Embassy | If you have ever lain awake in the dark, baby in arms, scrolling Instagram and feeling quietly worse with every post you see — this episode is for you.This week as part of our Maternal Mental Health Month series, Eva sits down with positive psychologist Eva from The Joy Embassy for an honest, warm conversation about what social media really does to new mothers in the Netherlands — and what we can actually do about it. But the conversation goes further than most: into the history of how community itself collapsed when television arrived in the 1950s, into sociology of the forbidden emotions of motherhood, and into what it means to try to build real human connection in the jungle years of early parenthood.In this episode:Why seeing happy motherhood online makes struggling mothers feel worse — and the research behind itHow the algorithm actively shapes your postpartum experience without your consentThe history of community collapse — from bowling alleys to living rooms to InstagramWhat de tropenjaaren (the jungle years) means, and who reaches backWhat positive psychology actually offers a mother in the dark — beyond toxic positivityRachael Forester's new community space — real alternatives to scrolling- Find our more about Rachael's new community space check out her website: RachaelForesterTherapy and scroll to bottom to find a sheet you can fill out. This is not a replacement for crisis, specialist care or therapy. It's an opporunity to find grounding in such a ground shaking moment of parenthood in general. I am not an expert. I am a parent with questions and a computer, trying to let people overhear conversations that might help them feel less alone. For international mothers in the Netherlands navigating postpartum far from home: you are not alone.

| 5/16/26 | ![]() ADHD in Motherhood: The Shame, the Chaos & Finding Your Way Back to Yourself | Do you ever feel like you're constantly dropping the ball, losing yourself in the chaos of motherhood, or just can't seem to keep up — no matter how hard you try? It might not just be motherhood. In this episode, originally aired as part of our 2024 Maternal Mental Health series, I'm joined by Emma, founder of ADHD Potential, a mother and ADHD coach who knows this reality from the inside out.We talk about what ADHD actually looks like in mothers — because it doesn't always look the way you'd expect — the shame spiral that so many women carry silently, emotional dysregulation, executive dysfunction, and the strategies that can genuinely help. We also talk about why so many women go undiagnosed for years, and what to do if you suspect ADHD but don't know where to start.If you're based in the Netherlands, we cover how the referral process works and what to expect, including waiting times and insurance coverage.This episode is part of Damn Parenting's Maternal Mental Health Month series — bringing honest, real conversations about the things that affect us as mothers, the ones we don't always get to say out loud.In this episode:What ADHD in motherhood really looks likeWhy so many women are diagnosed late — or not at allThe shame and guilt that comes with it, and how to work through itPractical strategies for managing ADHD as a motherHow to get diagnosed in the NetherlandsWhy "good enough" parenting is not only okay — it's necessary | — | ||||||
| 5/13/26 | ![]() Touched Out, Low Desire & Feeling Like a Feeding Machine: Let’s Talk About Sex After Baby | You’re exhausted. You’re touched-out. You haven’t wanted sex in months and you’re quietly wondering if something is broken.

| 5/11/26 | ![]() What's actually normal after birth (and what isn't) — pelvic floor physiotherapy in the Netherlands | After birth, so many women are told their symptoms are normal — and then left to quietly wonder if they are. Leaking, pain, pressure, discomfort during sex. Normal? Or not?This week I'm joined by Sofía, a pelvic floor physiotherapist based in The Hague with 13 years of specialist experience — and an immigrant herself who understands the unique position international families are in when navigating Dutch healthcare.We cover what's actually normal in the first six weeks postpartum, when to seek help, what a pelvic floor physio appointment in the Netherlands actually involves (including the parts nobody warns you about), and the one thing Sofía wants every woman to hear: there is always a solution.For the international parent in the Netherlands sitting with something they haven't told anyone: this one is for you. | — | ||||||
| 5/9/26 | ![]() Late night recording - but for us on Mothers Day | After a late phone call with a friend, I felt the urge to record something very different than usual, as we already are bombarderd with Mothers Day deals, discounts and bundles - but the reality is - we don't want or need more stuff. Our mental overload is barely dealing with managing our home as it is. So this was mine to you. Just words - and acknowledgement for all you go through, raisinig kids, on the daily.

| 5/4/26 | ![]() Postpartum Rage: Why New Mothers Get Angry, Who It Lands On, and How to Get Help in the Netherlands | Nobody told you about this part.The rage that rises from nowhere. The way you can go from calm to completely overwhelmed in seconds. The fact that it almost always lands on your partner — while the actual source of the pressure stays invisible.Postpartum rage is one of the most common and least talked-about experiences of early motherhood. It is not a character flaw. It is a nervous system under siege.I sit down with Dr. Naomi Gibson, couples therapist and Dam Parenting's resident psychologist, to talk about what postpartum rage actually is, why it happens, who it targets, and what getting help looks like in the Netherlands.We cover:The clinical definition — and why postpartum rage isn't in the DSM even though it's realThe hormone and sleep science behind itWhy expat and international parents carry an additional isolation layer that makes it worseHow to access support in the Netherlands: verloskundige, huisarts, POP-poli, GGZHow couples can start to talk about this without it becoming another argumentThis is the first episode in our Maternal Mental Health series.If you are holding it together on the outside, this one is for you. | — | ||||||
