Dumb Smart MumsShow Notes
DECEMBER! DECK THE HALLS! LISTEN TO THIS GEM OF A HUMAN BEING! Lydia Tuaiti (@ifoundlydia) is the coolest. She's fun, she's a girls girl, she is reflective, and self-aware, and all-round just the coolest. I am so honoured that she was happy to sit down with me and talk about her experience of parenthood (including stepparenthood). This is a perspective I have wanted to share on the podcast for a long time, but I wanted to make sure I was being careful with all parties involved. Lydia is the most respectful, caring, considered lady and I love the way she talks about her role in her family. You can find her instagram here and her tiktok here! She is one of my favourite follows on the internet, so please go show her some love! Tell her we sent you! There will be one more main episode, and probably one more Parenting is Political episode, before the end of the year. The rest will be funnnnnny/silly/solo/a bit about me episodes! I hope that you like those episodes too. I guess we'll find out! Join the Why Do You Chat Like That FB group here! (Don't forget to answer the membership questions or your request will be declined!!) As per usual, I ask that you share this episode around. Or share the reels/clips on your socials! The algorithm pushes out content that is being engaged with, otherwise we float away into the ether.

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).
