Marriage, Motherhood & Success with Emily Baldoni and Natasha Heath | The Man Enough Podcast

[@henokfg]

As someone who recently moved here from East Africa, it’s interesting how this “Modern” western world is struggling so much to find a way back to an old traditional community.

[@Georginna123]

Yes!!! I search for the peaceful ways other countries live they are more….human! Like how the Japanese sit on the floor and have stronger muscles in old age bc of it and it helps them maintain independence in old age.

[@niencat]

What do YOU mean with "an old traditional community"? Because when i, a white Dutch woman of 61, in western Europe this means for more than 1000 years that women were assigned very much a certain role, subserviant to men, and men had more freedom in a certain way, but also were pushed into certain roles. I think there should be freedom for people to be who they are and to be able to follow their interests, so they can grow in their talents and gifts they have, share these with their communities and to the world. Regardless whether these talents are in the field of raising infants into 6 year olds (a traditional female role), or if these are in the field of ceo of a multinational company, or the king of a country (a traditional male role for 1000 years in western Europe). I would like to hear what you think of when you think of an old traditional community.

I think Justin and Jamie just fell in love with their wife all over again after watching this

[@hofmannfdz]

Can we have the wives more often!!!!!! This was so insightful and sooooo lovely and extremely accurate. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@I3loom]

[@JudithValerieEngel]

This is one of the most wonderful conversations I have heard in a long time. Thank you for making this episode!

[@dianaseabra8243]

I absolutely LOOOVEEED this episode ❤❤❤ we need more of this, we need a woman enough podcast 🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽 You brought such a nurturing, ancient gathering healing energy that I as a woman relate to so much. Thank you 🙏 thank you

[@jimenacarreon4631]

Yes yes and YES ❤

[@mayamichelle6741]

9:30 I agree with you Liz. Thank you for voicing this concern. I have not wanted to bring a child into this world for this reason as well. This isn't a statement of blame or anti-man. It is a simple statement of fact. Our societies are not set up to support mothers. Our educational systems are not set up to inform and support parents. We have a terrible cultural attitude towards mothers, towards women who "get knocked up", towards working mothers, towards mothers in abusive domestic situations; and we have terrible support and educational systems for children. And yes, women are complicit individually and collectively. It's as if there is a conspiracy to just get women to keep having babies for a working class, for the military, for continued student debt, and for cheap labor in prisons. Imagine how healthy a society can be, with women who are fully supported to become mothers, and if women had babies, when they are actually ready to have babies? We all suffer from this, men and women. It's an infinite loop, a society of traumatized, unprepared and undersupported parents and kids.

[@IronChefDesi]

Wow it’s really been 100 episodes already?! Seems like just yesterday I was crushing on Liz after the “for the love of me” episode. Congrats yall!

[@MinifigNewsguy]

after the for the love of me, I *stopped* crushing on Liz. clearly she hasn't done enough "work" on herself.

[@07Flash11MRC]

Wdym by "she hasn't done enough work on herself"? How did you come to your conclusion?

[@GretchenHewitt]

Man Enough has been a constant companion these past 2 years. Some of my favorite times are seeing Jamey and Liz go into full strong consultation. Man Enough is a place for people to be heard deeply. The key to life.

[@95nasim95]

Could Emily, Natasha, and Liz please do a podcast about motherhood, raising kids, trying to preserve the tender hearts of our little ones, and just being a woman in todays world in general. It is SO very needed for us women and mamas out there who may not have the support group of other mamas or women or those of us that do but we all feel clueless. How do you even create a support group or mamas /women and once you got it what do you do?

[@jenymaryjane]

This was the most genuine, eloquent, thought-provoking conversation I have heard in a while. Thank you ladies for being vulnerable and sharing your authentic perspective, I was reflecting with you guys listening on all these topics and feel so connected to myself.

[@1939rhuebner]

Notice how this podcast which is supposedly about helping men is actually just pandering to women?

[@sentientfetus3894]

It is far more common for a man on the street paying child support to endanger the life and health of man then for child birth and pregnancy to Endanger the life or even health of the women. And alimony defeats the purpose of divorce .Divorceds are seen as deadbeat s while the mom's get all the credit . Even when it's admitted 60% of divorces were filed by women. Then moral standards shift he should have made him feel appreciated shouldn't have hurt her feelings.

[@kadiarakingai]

I love this!!!! Let’s get that spin off train choo chooing! 😂 Can we have just the 3 of you every 50 or so episodes? Such a needed perspective, post birth mama care sounds like the best thing I have heard in ages! 💜💜💜 Thank you Natasha and Emily for the amazing work you’re doing! Sending you my love 💝

[@starpiglet1]

How I resonate with Liz on having kids or not!! My decision on having kids or not changes all the time and I can do that without having another party involved but I believe raising a kid needs support from multiple parents. I guess I will know if someone who is totally worth it comes to my life, I might know and not for a selfish reason of having kids (don't wanna be lonely when you're old) but more of like i want to plant something together and watch it grow with someone I love. I always say this having kids are the symbol of greatest love between a man and a woman. But in a mean time you don't want to have a sprinkle on top of your donut if you don't have a good foundation donut. And the last part I have been fixating so much on what men are doing wrong but I don't blame myself for doing it because what i have experienced, heard and seen are not very good news about men. That's why sometimes I come to this podcast and listen to Justin and Jemey talk and little reminder to self "oh there're some good men out there. It's rare but definitely some are out there." I will have to work on it and it is difficult but I will have to start looking inwardly as Liz said. Thank for this 100th episodes. Congratulations guys!!!

[@gwenadams4509]

Natasha.. You are hitting the "Nail on the Head" here in SA we have the Saying .".It Takes a Village to Raise a Child " and that little help after birth is The Best Ever if they are there to help advise without dictating to the new mom and giving her time to rest and not criticize on what she has not doing or done..🎉🎉❤❤

[@gwenadams4509]

Pooh Liz after this Episode..You may now change your mom on motherhood...😂

[@mysweetangels6259]

As Arab woman listening to this podcast i wish I can change this about my culture and traditions… kids are 99% the mothers job … whenever I ask my husband for help he gets me someone to help “like a nanny or family member “but not him personally… he always say I work hard outside the house and that’s your job “we were raised this way… I am stay at home mom and my husband works really hard and he’s so generous with us I just can’t ask for more 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@tgoresia]

Men who are free to feel and grow 🎉 Truly none of us are free until all of us are free. All liberations are tied together. Thank you for these. Please try call Jo Koy in. Misstep was unacceptable, but I think he can use a way to unlearn. Maybe he needs a lifeline and you can be that.

[@Hajdjxysjsjsjyxxt5s7wiwkhd]

Yeah... I was surprised about the Jo Koy Jokes, I watched him live and honestly it was championing women in ways but this was big.

[@thePribs]

I love how grounded and humble and vulnerable Justin is ❤

[@jimenacarreon4631]

One of my absolute favorite episodes ❤, wonderful smart inspiring women

[@s_densmore]

Thank you for this episode! I cried, I laughed, I left feeling inspired. Thank you!

[@No_Tutorial]

37:40 onwards - their simultaneous “yes!”’s while Emily listed some of the transformative changes of motherhood was SO powerful. I felt like I was witnessing slam poetry ❤️

[@WeAreManEnough]

Thank you! More coming soon...

[@alyssavillela8599]

the spinoff we need!!!

Women need to Gather

[@nadeemafzalkcp1]

Hi , it wz worth watching this 100th episode especially with the women besides the two men ( Justin n Jemmy) who turned from not enough to be man enough, from 1-100 th .... Loved to listen the feminine aspect of motherhood n the work both Emily n Natasha r into for the mothers n fathers to be .... I mean it's brilliant ladies... ❤❤ And also adorably applause what Emily n then Natasha said and I collected their words here in one single quote ( in my words) ; Men aka husbands/fathers and women aka wives /mothers are like mirrors as they tend to show each other what one is acting/ reacting n what should not be acted/ reacted ... And children are like zoom lens who provide a magnified image to both the. parents with their blessed simplicity so the parents may think n rethink to find balance of life.... Thanks Justin, Jemmy, Liz & The Team " Man Enough" For providing such a wonderful and adorable 💯 podcasts worth watching... ❤💞💝💖🥰😇🙏 From Baha'i ritual With Love n Blessings

Showing up with loving kindness works well in marriage. Husband and Wife . -Ephesians 5:33

[@Georginna123]

My pitch on having kids….if you’re intending to raise a human not just have a baby….it is the most beautiful exchange of love you will experience. But for the love of God choose your partner wisely. *also don’t let society make you feel your incomplete without a husband or child. It is OKAY for some people to not have children.

[@laurahutton8389]

Thank you so much! ❤ Great episode and celebration of the 100th! Loved the feminine energy!Hearing Natasha and Emily 's perspectives fills in the Man Enough illustration of partnerships and relationships. Thank you for the beautiful work you are both doing! Liz-love you 😁You seemed so relaxed and glowing in this conversation❤

[@kathleengeraty7926]

💕 Soooooooo good. Sooooo needed. Yes, please, YOU THREE - we need you bringing this more than once in awhile. Pleeeeze start a podcast! 🙏🏼💕

[@mayamichelle6741]

Society actually does not support men, women nor children adequately nor appropriately according to our psychological, physical, social and developmental needs. All of us need to speak up about this, arrest our individual complicity, and find tools to implement change.

[@alofim1529]

Thank you so much for this soulful sharing and experience- I cried a few times just being "in it". Gorgeous episode! Those leadership endeavours ladies- oh my Soul!! 🎉🎉🎉

[@Jasmin-gd1ll]

It’s a small detail, but I LOVE that you guys added the breaks in between topics so when I have to go back it’s o much easier to find where I stopped watching, makes a world of a difference ❤

[@vanhoudtshoorn]

Beautiful conversation❤. Thank you. Loved every bit of it. Learnt so much. You 3 ladies are awesome😊

[@aximesz]

You should do a monthly or bimonthly catch up, summary, or just excuse to have these 2 ladies on the podcast more often without adding to their regular "to-do's" How about a ladies night with drinks? That way it serves as a time off, plus it puts Justin and Jamie in charge of the household for that time :)

[@Val-cal-watt]

Jamey Heath's wife and Liz Plank are pretty women.

[@benjaminbauer425]

As much as I like do trash talk internet, and watching too many youtube videos being a distraction…watching this video at 3 am in bed, does feel…enriching.

[@diananahle656]

You three amazing Woman should do and have a podcast together! Loved this episode, congrats! ❤

[@moirasalomon]

Hands down my favourite episode so far. Thank you for this incredible conversation on motherhood and the work that is required to make it a more equal share in raising kids.

[@RussianBot-dc6qg]

So it's not women's responsibility to take responsibility for their own complaints and wonder why they often end up oppressed and matriarchies never last

[@EricMHowardII-yh1rn]

In future list your favorite guests top ten guest for each year that would be nice. Personal is great .

[@adrianav5534]

I think we need more of these. I loved listening to these women. Or we could have a spin off. So good!

[@hellentatendakajawu]

Wuwuwu🎉 was waiting to see Emily back on the show. I love her so much

[@stephaniebarragan3113]

she talked about spirit babies - they come to you prior to their arrival

[@Laiaalvarez1998]

this is one of the best!!! you three are!! Thank you

[@anna-h6y4r]

Thank you for this! Loved it!

[@hellentatendakajawu]

[@aditimascarenhas5608]

Anyone else finds Liz soooo patronizing T-T

[@MinifigNewsguy]

a podcast on masculinity and women are on the entire episode? Sure that makes lots of sense...

[@jenymaryjane]

Clearly you did not listen to a single second of the episode, you should give it a listen might learn a thing or two
