The Magic of Bluey: Playful parenting and all the feels w/Regan + Celeste

shiny (for the moment)

This week, a few passionate parents and I can barely contain our admiration for the show Bluey to one podcast. Regan Riskas Maas is not only a mom who helps us peel back the layers of the beloved show on Disney+, but is also the creator of her own animated children's series inspired by, set in, and created in Africa (Twende!). Celeste Brown, mother of three plus new pup, doesn't shy away from her own self-doubt as a playful parent OR her attraction to Bandit Heeler. In addition to sharing the mic with me, Regan and Celeste also share experience in the alcohol distribution industry, with Regan newly partnering with a celebrity on an award-winning gin. Toons and booze anyone?
