Beyond the Bump

The Bumpie Group Chat (Unfiltered) is back and we are living up to the unfiltered part of the name 😅 We jump straight into… Sophie made the trek through Melbourne Airport solo with the 3 kids and the price she’s paying comes in the form of hemorrhoids Jayde’s booking in some important health checks Harry and Jayde had their second couple’s counseling session and came in hot off the back of a communication blunder A new therapy technique was put into practise and worked!

Abi, mum of 3 and a friend of Sophie’s, is speaking with us about her story. In this very emotional and vulnerable episode, Abi describes her journey into motherhood, the day their world shifted after a fall devastatingly impacted their newborn and the family’s road to recovery. Despite everything, Abi’s sense of humour and optimism had us in awe! We discuss… Moving from the UK to Australia and how to keep the grandparents involved How an ADHD diagnosis transpired after becoming a mum Being a first time parent and how bitter-sweet hindsight can be How the intrusive thought so many new parents have became a reality and the terrifying moments that unfolded How guilt felt selfish and Abi’s strength in dealing with the accident Navigating their daughter’s recovery When a random pregnancy test turned into their next big chapter (much earlier than expected!) How life is now looking for Abi’s family Beyond the Bump is hosted by Jayde Couldwell (@londonxboston) and Sophie Pearce (@svpearce) Come say hey over on Instagram @beyondthebump.podcast TikTok @beyondthebumppodcast Facebook - Beyond the Bump Community Chats group Sign up to our monthly newsletter here for BTS, recommendations, outfits and more.

A topic that comes up in the Beyond the Bump community daily is the big question, “how do you know when you’re done?” Yep - are you planning on having more children? And do we all get that feeling of knowing our family is complete? Or is that a myth? This is a round table style episode where we sat down with the eight members of the Beyond the Bump team on our team weekend away and dived into our own unique perspectives. Spoiler alert, about half of us cry! We discuss… Those of us who feel ‘done’ and how we know Does your children’s gender influence your desire for more kids? Soaking up a pregnancy knowing it is your ‘last’ - is this meaningful or just another milestone that actually makes us feel guilty? Grappling with the pressures of modern day life when your heart wishes for more children How our previous challenges impact our decisions That feeling of finding yourself and your ‘new normal’ after pregnancy Hannah, our audio editor, doesn’t have a partner or children and shares honestly how family planning is a constant pressure How fertility issues, relationship breakdowns and mental health play a part Is it harder to lean on your ‘village’ when you have multiple children? …and so much more!

The “nervous system” has been mentioned a lot lately and for good reason! Life is busy and our body wasn’t designed to be dealing with this level of stress 24/7. So today, we speak to Jodi Wilson, bestselling author, yoga teacher and postpartum doula, about her latest book, A Brain that Breathes: essential habits for an overwhelming world. We discuss… What even is the nervous system and how can we slow down? How the constant mental load, multitasking and being chronically online all contribute to an overwhelmed nervous system Small daily habits that we can use to help calm ourselves down (the real self-care!) The ‘switch cost effect’ and how it is really impacting mothers Children’s innate ability to be present Our biological need to rest in order for our brain to function productively How ‘the infinite scroll’ and picking up our phones keeps us in fight/flight 5 strategies to use when you’re overwhelmed Links mentioned in this episode: Read Jodi’s book here Find Jodi on Substack here or on Instagram at @practisingimplicity This episode is proudly sponsored by Tonies.

The Bumpie Group Chat is back and Sophie reveals her vulnerability hangover. After being literally inundated with messages from Bumpies who could relate to her worries about school, Sophie shares her current reflections on how life might look like for her family. We also dive into… Is it more acceptable to share you need time away from your kids than to say that you want to be with them as much as possible? Could hybrid learning be the answer to Sophie’s concerns? Sophie and Nick have made the decision to unenrol Pearl from pre-school and the relief is tangible Jayde shares how her and Harry’s first marriage counselling session went down. To Jayde’s surprise, it was NOT what she expected How do your attachment styles and communication strategies impact your relationship? There’s nothing like wrapping up the episode by trying a therapy technique on air with each other while sharing a single microphone!

The school year has well and truly started but that doesn’t mean separation anxiety, tough drop offs and big feelings have come to an end. We spoke to Orlanda (@mybrain.books) all about how we can support our children when it comes to starting formal care, whether that be daycare, pre-school or school itself. We chatted to her all about… What factors influence separation anxiety or difficult drop offs? When might it be our own anxiety or when is it our gut telling us something might need to change? How can a child’s cognitive development or readiness impact these transitions? Building resilience through support and safety and equipping our kids with language around their emotions What strategies can help us with drop offs? Distressed children, school refusal and when separation anxiety might need further support The importance of communicating, finding supportive educators and doing what’s right for your family Orlanda is a mother of two boys, an experienced primary school teacher with a psychology degree and the founder of My Brain Books. She is passionate about nurturing children's mental health, resilience and emotional intelligence.

The Bumpie Group Chat is back and it’s a bit of a different vibe to earlier in the week. Reality is sinking in and we need to talk about it… Pearl had a tough time starting pre-school and not only is it heart-breaking, it’s making Sophie wonder how she is actually going to get work done Jayde is finally feeling her age and we dive into aging mentally and physically. Greys, fine lines and chin hairs - are we embracing them? Are we chasing beauty standards because we actually want to or is it social pressure!? Sophie asks Jayde to share candidly how she frames her Botox appointments with her daughters Kids can be brutal to each other - how do we help them navigate social challenges and peer pressure?

This week we are replaying this episode which contains honest, personal discussions about difficult emotions such as rage and anger. Motherhood provides plenty of experiences of joy, love and gratitude but it also contains frustration, exhaustion, anger and overwhelm among many other emotional states. When we know that difficult emotions are an inherent part of motherhood, and being human, it can help us feel less alone or prevent us from experiencing shame. Emotions are an automatic response to internal or external stimuli. We don’t get to choose what arises but we can learn to work with what comes up and how to meet our needs to feel okay. There were a few ideas shared on how to work with difficult emotions on this episode and there are plenty more in The Emotional Support for Mothers toolkit. However, we all know that the reality is that it can be hard to experience and make sense of these emotions on our own. If you are experiencing persistent painful feelings you need and deserve love, care and support. Please contact your doctor to discuss how to get the compassionate support you deserve.

Recording this episode was truly a comedy of errors in tech land - think mics dropping out, Wi-Fi giving up on life, and Jayde forgetting how headphones work. But! Amongst the chaos, we dive into a super honest chat about something many parents grapple with: sharing their kids online. Sophie opens up about why she’s stepped back from posting images of her little ones, from privacy worries to the weirdness of strangers recognising them. Jayde shares the flip side: why she still feels comfortable posting her kids and how she navigates it in a way that feels safe and right for her family. No judgement, no rules - just two friends unpacking a very modern parenting dilemma. And because it wouldn’t be a without a little chaos… we also get into the intrusive repeative thoughts.

We chat about the emotional whiplash of hormones, how anxiety can hitch a ride on the cycle, and how it seems to be the time of year for generally not feeling the best. Plus, we dive into a very specific but surprisingly hilarious/horrifying situation: kissing a baby on the head while they’re breastfeeding. Is it okay? Is it an absolutely not okay?
