Welcome to EP21 of Beyond The Balls! This is a chat with the legendary Hamish Adams-Cairns from the Sober Awkward podcast on all things drinking & dad pub culture. Hamish has been sober for 3 years and having run a podcast on his adventures in sobriety, knows a thing or two about the experience of giving up alcohol. He also presents a wonderfully balanced and non-judgemental view on whether you drink or not. This is an amazing, thoughtful and vulnerable chat about dads & their relationship with alcohol as well as what it means to be sober curious. We delve into the dark side of when men refuse to give up their life before kids and take responsibility, addiction and what alcohol is really costing you. Chi opens up on some of his struggles with alcohol and we share plenty of laughs along the way. Whether you’re a sober curious dad or a mother who thinks their partner might have a tough relationship with alcohol, we hope you enjoy and take something from this episode. We thank Hamish for his time!

This week on the pod, we’re joined by the lovely Liv Brown from @rattle_style – and what a chat it was! We originally invited Liv on to talk about finding your style again postpartum, but in true Beyond the Bump fashion, we spiraled into so much more (in the best way). We ended up diving deep into topics like postnatal depression (PND), postnatal anxiety (PNA), health anxiety, navigating a bub who’s unwell, coping when your own mum is unwell, and the big transition to two kids. It’s raw, real, and full of heart. You don’t want to miss this one!

This one was a ripper! In this episode, we chat with Gen Muir — and yes, we know we say every episode is a ripper, but this one really hit home. Sophie felt like her kids were on the trip of a lifetime, but they didn’t really seem all that grateful for it. Gen’s insights on kids and gratitude have really helped us approach the situation with more compassion, kindness, and patience. Most importantly, it helped us realise it’s not just a "them" issue — and that took away a lot of the shame around this topic.

From period pain to productivity slumps, this dummies guide to cyclical living will leave you feeling more in tune with your body and how to work with it, not against it.

Clare’s no stranger to the poddy, and today she opens up about an incredibly personal journey: earlier this year, her mum was diagnosed with terminal cancer.

A few weeks ago, we chatted with Vic about sobriety — but this time, we’re diving into something different: failing as a mum.

Welcome to EP19 of Beyond The Balls! This is a chat with the amazing Jason Seeman from Raising Fathers on the rite of passage that is growing from boy to man then a father. Jason is a fatherhood guide, educator, and facilitator with over a decade of experience creating programs like Raising Fathers, The Rites of Passage Institute and The Man Cave. Whether he’s helping men embrace the challenges of fatherhood, designing bespoke rites of passage, or sharing his reflections through Raising Fathers, Jason is driven by a singular purpose: to elevate fatherhood and help men step into this sacred role with confidence, intention, and heart; something Beyond The Balls is completely on board with! We talk about what it means to transition to fatherhood in an unhealthy manner, including the situation every father has been in, which is giving up who he once was, knowing that time at the pub might be a bit more scarce - but that’s OK! Fatherhood is to be celebrated and it is ok to mourn who you once were, in order to accept and celebrate who you now are. We thank Jason for his time, YA LEGEND!

Welcome to EP18 of Beyond The Balls! This is a chat with the amazing Jonny Casella on grief, loss, love and dealing with this worst tragedy any parent could face. Jonny’s first child Mackenzie was a perfect little baby – the picture of health but at 10 weeks old, she was diagnosed with a condition called spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) – a severe inherited neuromuscular condition without a cure. Jonny and his wife Rachael were shattered by the news. The couple had no family history of genetic conditions and undertook all the recommended preparations to have a healthy child. They had never heard of SMA and were not aware that they were both genetic carriers for the condition. As ‘carriers’, the couple do not have the condition themselves, but have an increased chance of having a child with SMA. In October 2017, Mackenzie Casella passed away at just seven months and 11 days old. Believing no couple should face this tragedy, the Casellas launched a campaign calling for reproductive genetic carrier screening to be routine and free for all prospective parents in Australia. This would become Mackenzie’s Mission. What they have achieved through adversity is one of the most inspiring stories you will listen to. We thank Jonny for his time, vulnerability and willingness to share his story.

We are so excited to have the beautiful Konnie on the poddy! Konnie is Jayde’s long-time friend (what a legend!), and we’ve managed to pull her out of her newborn bubble to chat with us all about her experience with an elective caesarean.

Konnie spills all the things she wishes she had known before her C-section and the little gems of wisdom she’s picked up as a first-time mum. If you’re considering an elective C-section or just love a good, honest birth chat, this one’s for you! And as always, we hope you enjoy!
