Endless Google searches, relentless posting in Facebook groups, asking other parents for advice…. It's no wonder most first time parents feel overwhelmed shopping for products for their little ones. But does it really have to be so confusing, exhausting, and depersonalized?!

To help us sift through the vast array of baby products on the market, I invited a very special guest and THE ultimate baby product guru to talk to us about what is new and cool in 2023! Join me as I sit down with Monica Banks from Gugu Guru, the only creator community focused entirely on maternity and parenting content.

Still not found the right baby monitor for you? Not sure which stroller will fit your lifestyle?

If you are a new or expectant mom and want to confidently choose the right gear for your family, this episode is a must-listen!
