Ben Boyce (@ben_boyce_) on Fostering Your Kids' Interests, Parenting Teenagers, Being in the Public Eye, Navigating Social Media, and Plane Vomits
Dumb Smart MumsShow Notes
Haaaaaayyyyyooooo! Welcome back for another week! I'm so glad you're here! You have found this podcast while I am in the depths of norovirus and coming to you live from my bed. Everything hurts, chills, shakes, fever, headache. It's a whole thing. Which is WHY you will hear a weird automated intro from me this week. It's my words, but I truly did not have the strength to get out of bed and get my microphone to record the introduction. So, THIS was my solution. I got a bit silly with it sorry, I'm blaming sickness delirium. The episode this week is with Ben Boyce, which, what the actual heck?! Ben is someone I have grown up watching on TV and now listen to on the Hits breakfast show, and the fact that he was willing to take the time out to talk to me about parenting is just testament to what a cool guy he is. Ben and his wife Amanda have two teenage daughters, Sienna and Indie, but you're probably already familiar because Ben, Sienna and Indie are going all sorts of viral across the internet with their comedy content! Ben and Sienna also have a podcast called "When I Grow Up" which you can listen to here! While you're here, why not do all the things?! Follow, like, subscribe, rate, review, share. Or maybe do just ONE of the things? The stats show me that lots of people who listen to the pod aren't actually subscribed, which, wild! So go ahead and save yourself having to search for the pod, and just click subscribe. Follow WDYPLT on social media!: Instagram TikTok AND, if you wanna hear the secret sixth question I have asked Ben this week, you can subscribe to the substack (there is a free subscription, or a paid subscription! And last week I just made everything free bc I felt like it, so it's always worth subscribing to see what this CRAZY GAL will do!): Substack If you have a story you reckon would be interesting to hear on the pod, flick me an email at [email protected] OK LOOOOVVVEEEE YYYOOOOOUUUUU! (say it back)

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).
