Mum Knows Best

Hello mummies!
Tallulah and Sophie are back with another fabulous guest, Eleanor Pereira. 
Eleanor is based in Nottingham, where she runs her own jewellery business specialising in repairing and repurposing inherited pieces so they can be worn, treasured and loved again by the next generation. She is mum to three children – Theo (13) and twins Marcie and Daph (4). Her journey into motherhood began as a young single mum with Theo, an experience that quickly taught her independence and resilience. When Theo was five, she took him on a six-week road trip around France, just the two of them – an adventure that cemented her belief d children can be part of life’s adventures rather than a barrier to them. Years later, Eleanor met her partner Louis, and seven months into their relationship they discovered they were expecting twins – a joyful surprise that brought a new chapter of family life. For Eleanor, motherhood has unfolded across very different seasons of life: first as a young single mum, and later navigating life with three children, including twins. 

We loved chatting with Eleanor, hope you enjoy!

Hey mamas,
Just me this week (Sophie) as Tallulah has just given birth!! Woop woop!
I had the pleasure of catching up with Rosie Kelly Smith. 
Rosie lives with her fiancé and baby girl, Billie. She works in journalism and production and co-hosts a top ten podcast 'What if?' with her mummy, Lorraine Kelly. Rosie is launching her new book 'Mother to Mother' on the 26th February, so we sat down to discuss this beautiful book and navigating motherhood through the generations. The book talks to the advice that gets passed down, whether it should or not!
Becoming a new parent is daunting enough without having to contend with comments and advice from seemingly every corner. 'They didn't do it like that in my day', 'You'll make a rod for your own back', 'Don't spoil the baby'. It's so easy to become overwhelmed, and too easy to feel like you're failing. How do you sift through all the advice and know what to trust? From her mum's birth in 1959, to her own in 1994, and to little Billie's in 2024, Rosie shares the universal truths that still make sense today, alongside the pieces of advice you can definitely ignore. From pregnancy to birth, the early days and beyond, Mother to Mother explores what we can learn about parenting from our own mums, as well as what we will find for ourselves.
Welcome to the podcast Rosie!!

Hey there Mamas!
Our beloved Tallulah is off on maternity so this week Sophie will be solo chatting to the amazing Mubeena Hoosain. 
Mubeena is a Pilates teacher and mother, who teaches across London studios such as Movement Collective, Blok and privately working with women through Yonder Pilates. Her work focuses on supporting women - particularly through pre and post natal pilates - helping them rebuild strength, confidence and connection to their bodies.
As a mother herself, Mubeena speaks honestly about balancing work and family life. Her approach to Pilates is practical, nurturing and grounded in the belief that movement isn’t just exercise, it’s essential self-care.
We loved speaking to Mubeena and we hope you enjoy!
Love
Sophie and Tallulah! (aka MKB)

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)
