Sonya Prior (@thebbnamer) on Surprise Pregnancies, Learning to Trust Yourself, Instinctive Parenting, and Allllll Things Baby Names
Dumb Smart MumsShow Notes
This week the Aotearoa baby naming queen taking TikTok by storm Sonya Prior (@thebbnamer) is here! I forced Sonya to be my friend after finding her content because I knew we were birds of a feather, and I was totally right. Sonya generously shared so much of her parenting story with me this week, including surprise pregnancies, her non-perfect births, not letting your childhood affect the childhood you create for your kids, finding the fun in everything, and how to not panic about the world maybe being on fire? I understand why she is the darling of the baby naming world because she is someone I could talk to for hours and not get bored. Please go and send her some love for her vulnerability, honesty, generosity, and crack up-ness in this episode. You'll find her @thebbnamer across socials. A huge thank you to Bear and Moo for sponsoring this episode! I'd be totally lost without you guys. Use code WDYPLT10 at checkout for a 10% discount code.

Hej hej! Welcome back, honey bees! We talk for quite a bit about bts of social media at the beginning of this episode, so scrub through to around 20 minutes if you aren't interested.
Oh hi folks, once again it was Abbey's turn to research but then she didn't and we ended up giving you a different kind of episode. BUT, she gives you some insight as to why she didn't research with her life updates. Y'all are the first to hear it, she's a bit nervous to tell the world, so be nice.

Join hosts Abbey & Charlotte this week as we sit down together and have a vulnerable chat about our frustrations with being working mothers, and the roadblocks we've encountered trying to "have it all" (the way we are repeatedly told we can).
