Barnyard Language

Y'all, Biz Ellis of One Bad Mother is "so fucking thrilled we're doing this podcast"! Biz is a full-time podcaster, mother of two, author, and generally fantastic human. Arlene and Caite actually met through the OBM Facebook group, so you have Biz and Teresa to thank for this podcast existing at all. Their show has helped define who we are as parents, as well as who we are as humans. Be prepared for some pretty major fan girling and even more swears than usual!

Y'all, we're starting our holiday break a week earlier than anticipated. Arlene has cows to milk and Caite's under a blizzard warning for most of the week, and editing a new episode just isn't happening. We'll be back with a shiny new episode on January 9th. Until then stay warm, listen to some back episodes, and come find us on social media.

Warning: This week's episode deals with abuse and violence. If this will be triggering or harmful to you, take care of yourself and we hope to see you back here next week!

This week we're talking to Barb MacQuarrie, who is the Community Director of the Centre for Research and Education on Violence against Women & Children at Western University. Barb's current research focuses on detailing the cost to businesses when employees are experiencing abuse at home. The economic impact is legitimately staggering, and can be a good way to get folks motivated to be "nosy" without feeling as awkward. Barb gave us a number of resources for both Canada and the US, which can be found below.
