Mum Knows Best

Welcome back mamas!
This week we'll be chatting to our first ever first time pregnant mummy, Midge (aka MAMI JUANA).
Midge is South London born & raised and now lives in the jungle in the Dominican Republic. Midge has taken on pregnancy her own way, keeping it fun, sexy and colourful. Pregnancy has not defined or slowed her down as she builds her tropical empire, hosting “The Pink Jungle” a podcast where she talks candidly about womanhood, faith, love and life in the Caribbean, developing an upscale erotic jungle getaway with her besty aimed to create a sex-positive space for couples to enjoy and her most recent endeavour, DJing and curating a sound that incorporates all of her previous lives. 
Midge spent years backpacking through Asia and South America where she fell in love with the idea of taking it back to basics and living as closely to nature as possible, after learning Spanish (and how to dance salsa!) the tropical Island of DR has been the place where she’s decided to make that dream come to life. 
Now living 5 minutes from the ocean in her big pink house that she built with her 6 rescue dogs, cat, her partner and soon to be born baby girl, her iconic story is far from over. 
We loved speaking to Midge and we hope you enjoy!
Love
Sophie and Tallulah! (aka MKB)

Hello mamas!
We're back! Sophie and Tallulah talk birth, managing career and lifestyle with the incredible Dharma Taylor.
Dharma Taylor is a London-based designer and multidisciplinary artist working across fashion, textiles, carpentry, and object-making. Trained in fashion, she developed an early fascination with hand-printed textiles, with her first collections stocked by Dover Street Market that had grown from kitchen-table whilst experimenting in block and screen printing. Her work has featured in the Financial Times, Elle Decoration, and House & Garden, and is currently on display at the Design Museum until 2027. Expanding beyond clothing, her practice explores materials, memory, and identity, grounded in the belief that objects carry stories and that design acts as a form of communication between past and present. Her work has been exhibited at Tate Britain, the V&A, and the Benaki Museum in Athens, and she teaches fashion at UAL Central Saint Martins. Some of Dharma’s recent projects include collaborations with Paul Smith and Christopher Farr Rugs, with whom she presented her 2024 solo exhibition Materials Speak, exploring memory and materiality through undyed wool.
We loved speaking with Dharma, we hope you enjoy!
Love,
MKB

Hello mamas!
It's the last episode before the festive break and Tallulah and Sophie are joined by the incredible Beth O’Neill.
Beth is an ICF-accredited coach and founder of Cahla (We Are Cahla) a coaching-first leadership company dedicated to helping women lead with purpose, presence and power.
Her passion for supporting women grew even stronger after becoming a mum to her little boy, Fionn, in 2021. Returning to corporate coaching after maternity leave, Beth soon realised it was time to create something of her own: a business focused on supporting women in leadership and entrepreneurship, many of whom are navigating motherhood alongside their careers.
Through her work as a speaker, coach, and facilitator, Beth creates safe, transformative spaces for women to connect, grow, and build unshakeable confidence. She equips them with the mindset and practical tools, using coaching as a foundation, to uncover their calling, increase their influence, and make a positive impact wherever they are.
Beth has supported hundreds of women through executive coaching, team training, and her signature Women in Leadership Programme, working with women from organisations like Google DeepMind, Amazon, and The Salvation Army.
As a female founder, Beth weaves in her love for family, faith, mental health, fitness, style and sustainable living, sharing her own experiences (including the highs and challenges of motherhood and fertility) to connect with and inspire other women.
In this episode Beth discusses her IVF fertility treatment, how she empowers women and lends some incredible tips for balancing life, motherhood and work.
We hope you enjoy
Love,
MKB

Hello MKB family,
Tallulah and Sophie are back with another episode! We are joined by two incredible women, Hannah Warnes and Geri Spicer, founders of the 4th.
The mothers actually met after both having traumatic births at the same hospital. They bonded over how shocked they were by the lack of postnatal care and how much that shaped those early postpartum days. It left them feeling there had to be a better way – and that’s what inspired their new venture 'The 4th', launching 2026. 
Their goal is to provide a service and a community that truly supports women through the postnatal journey – not just physically, but emotionally and mentally too. 
This episode was truly incredible and really opened up the conversation about the 4th trimester and ways in which support and care are so desperately needed by new mothers. 
Thank you Hannah and Geri for joining us!
Much love,
Sophie + Tallulah

TW: Pregnancy loss, miscarriage.
Hello!
Sophie catches up with Eithne Loughran, an old childhood friend. Eithne is 29 and is a born and raised East Londoner, she has always wanted to be a mum but her journey has not been easy. She joined me on the podcast to talk through her struggles with fertility and pregnancy loss hoping to open up the conversation to many other women who have been through or may be going through something similar. She wants to highlight the importance of these conversations to raise awareness about women's reproductive health and get more people talking with the hope that no woman ever has to feel alone during such vulnerable and painful times. 
MKB wants to thank Eithne for sharing her story during this episode. We are so grateful for your honesty and bravery.
To our listeners, we hope this reaches you in the way you need it.
Much love,
Sophie + Tallulah
