Britt & MJ Meafou (@dadbehaviour) on Being High School Sweethearts, A Fertility Journey, Raising Kind Humans, and Creating Dads' Village Postpartum
Dumb Smart MumsShow Notes
Blow me down, we've got a couple! It has been on my wishlist for a wee while now to have a couple speaking on their parenting experience together, and we got that this week with Britt and MJ Meafou! You may know MJ as @dadbehaviour on instagram. He shares his life as a Dad on there, but also has created a stroller club for dads in Christchurch! An opportunity for Dads to get together with their kids and other Dads and catch up. MJ is passionate about creating community for Dads in the postpartum stage, the way Mums are so good at doing. MJ and Britt are two golden humans, it is just evident that they are kind to their core, passionate about their mahi, and deeply committed to giving Arthur and Mimi the very best childhood they can. MORE COUPLES LIKE THIS PLS! You can find all the details of MJ's work and info about upcoming events he is running for Dads on his instagram page @dadbehaviour Keeping it short today, because, as I say in the ep, I am deep in the midst of grieving my beloved Grandfather. Thank you for all the kindness and love that has been shown to me since telling the internet about his passing. LOVE YOU!

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).
