In our 51st episode of Beyond the Bump, we chat with Montana Lower, who is a model and artist and mother to Blue! We chat all about motherhood (while living in a bus!!!!) and focus on Elimination Communication! What is that you might ask?

To be honest, Jayde and Sophie weren't completely convinced with this approach, but after hearing Montana speak so openly about it, they fully understand the beautiful connections that can be formed by following this approach.
