Why Do You Parent Like That?

• Nic Haldezos (@nic_haldezos) on Loving Your Partner Unconditionally, Two Under Two, Male Postpartum Depression, and Laughing Through the Chaos

  Shut the front door, we've got a Dad!!! As I say in the introduction, something I've wanted from the beginning of this podcast is for this to be a space for parents of all genders. There are a lot of resources out there for mums and femme-identifying parents, and I think dads and masc-presenting parents can get a bit lost in the chaos. So I am so grateful that the wonderful Nic Haldezos (@nic_haldezos @nuggetcreative) agreed to be our first pod dad! Not only that, but he came on and literally told me "no questions are off-limits, I'm an open book" which is so generous and so kind. Nic is a guy who lives his life as a dad first and everything else second, and he and his fiancee (@cassidyskelton) do everything they can to live their lives intentionally to be the best parents they can be. I actually adored listening to Nic's perspective, and about how he and Cass stay a solid team in amongst the chaos of two under two. The way he talks about Cass will make you melt! The biggest, biggest ngā mihi to Bear & Moo for sponsoring this episode of the podcast. They even let me give away a $100 voucher to one of my listeners this week! I am bloody lucky!

• Renata Wiles (@renataroaming) on Being a Mum in Business, Finding the Balance, Equitable Relationships, and Going for It

  Renata (@renataroaming) is just so, so cool. She's the founder of the Roam with Kids app and is on your social media feeds sharing all kinds of baby/kid friendly events and spaces. Renata chatted with me this week about so many great topics, but I was particularly impressed with how politically clued in she is. Renata is passionate about changing the landscape so that birthing parents have just as much opportunity to crack the business world as non-birthing parents do. I found our conversation so inspirational, and it gave me the affirmation I needed that I am allowed to take up space through the creation of this podcast. Go and download the Roam with Kids app, and follow Renata everywhere! Show her some love and support a mum doing rad, rad things!Please note a bit of a trigger warning during the "what the f was that" question portion, we talk about our births which weren't super straight forward (shoulder dystocia and postpartum haemorrhage) so if those feel like tricky topics for you, feel free to skip over that section or catch us back in the next episode! As usual, the BIGGEST THANK YOU to Bear & Moo for sponsoring this episode. Another example of NZ mums in business supporting other mums in business is B&M sponsoring this ep! You guys are my favourites and I love you and my life is better because you're in it!

• Sophie Moskowitz (@imperfectparents.nz) on Releasing Expectations of Perfection, Finding Genuine Connections, and Raising Socially Conscious Children.

  Buckle in, cos this is a goodie! Sophie Moskowitz joins Abbey for a brilliant conversation about her parenting journey and the isolation of parenting during COVID being the experience that sparked the idea of her business Imperfect Parents NZ. Sophie has been a nanny, an ECE teacher, a parent, and is now an antenatal facilitator and parenting group facilitator, so parenting is her thing. Her wealth of knowledge and wisdom will leave you yelling "YES, AMEN" (like Abbey does a few times throughout the pod). I could talk with Sophie for hours, and have plans to get her back on the pod to answer some listener questions, but, for now, enjoy this episode!If you're interested to find out more about Sophie and Imperfect Parents NZ, follow @imperfectparents.nz on social media or check out their website https://www.imperfectparents.co.nz/The biggest thank you to Bear & Moo for sponsoring this episode!

• Sonya Prior (@thebbnamer) on Surprise Pregnancies, Learning to Trust Yourself, Instinctive Parenting, and Allllll Things Baby Names

  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.
