Has ‘screen time’ become a dirty word when it comes to our kids? Can we safely support them to use technology that is constantly evolving?

We kick off this week’s Bumpie Group Chat episode with a petition for mandatory seasonal Mental Load Holidays. Can you imagine!? Sophie is staying with her parents for the school holidays and she’s finding parenting way more manageable.

Jayde wants to know what is the etiquette these days when it comes to giving gifts? If you’re attending an adult’s birthday, what is the protocol!? Speaking of celebrating, partying in your 30s hits different. No amount of Hydralite made a difference for Jayde over the weekend.

Matrescence. You might have never heard of it or maybe you’ve seen it doing the rounds on social media lately. It’s actually the biggest transition any human will go through in life and it’s reserved specifically for mothers. So, if it’s so massive… why is it so unknown? We speak to Claire Tonti, matrescence activist, filmmaker, singer and songwriter, to learn more. We say it often, but this really is a must-listen for everyone, mother or not!  We discuss… What actually is matrescence? And why haven’t we heard about it until recently (if ever!?) The neurological and hormonal changes women experience when they become a mother When did it become a ‘badge of honour’ to try and not change when becoming a mum? How the fight for gender equality meant we had to dampen the importance of parenting The beauty and level-up that we go through as a result of matrescence How educating and empowering women at every stage of life benefits us all Leaning into creativity as a way to process these changes Embracing slowness and rest as a radical movement “The album of queefs” - you’d have to listen there to get it Do fathers experience something similar? + plenty more!   Links mentioned in this episode: Amy Taylor-Kabbaz - matrescence activist Oscar Serralach’s research Matrescence by Lucy Jones  Yoga nidra for deep rest Nat Bartsch - composer and music designed to help babies sleep   This episode is proudly sponsored by Bonds — check out their brand new Wondergrow range at bonds.com.au or in-store now!   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.

As we roll into the long weekend, we are both relieved and overwhelmed. We dive into this episode of the Bumpie Group Chat and vent about the collective anxiousness we are all feeling - from the state of the world right now to the endless Easter to-do list plus the race to the finish line of term 1. It’s a LOT! We also chat about… What am I and who am I? Society’s obsession with labelling people and why we can’t do it all  Leaning into your school community and how wholesome it can feel “Do you have capacity to chat about my feelings?” Harry’s back and Jayde missed him, but did he miss her?  Play! We remind ourselves how important play is, not just for our kids but for us  Why does the kids having cavities make us feel like a total failure!?! Bumpies shared their granny habits they’ve taken on in their 30s and it was the laugh we needed   This episode is proudly sponsored by Hey Zomi — check out their reusable menstrual disc and new period underwear range at heyzomi.com.

Have you written a Will? This episode has been *highly* requested by Bumpies so we spoke to Tessa from Lyden Lane to discuss estate planning and future-proofing for our children after we are gone. Yes, it feels confronting but we know we need to adult-up and get it done for the benefit of our family. We discuss… What actually is a Will?  What happens if you pass away without one? And is it just needed when one parent dies or both!? Does debt get passed down if it’s not paid off? Boomer wealth, granny flats, intergenerational living and the Bank of Mum and Dad Divorce - does it impact a Will? The toughest part - who will care for your kids!? We were both in SHOCK with just how complex this decision is legally The up front cost of estate planning How superannuation might be an asset you hadn’t considered Tessa shares the voice note she’s leaving behind for her kids - we were not okay! So, where do we begin if we want to set up an estate plan after today?  If you’d like to, find out more from Tessa at Lyden Lane’s website here.

Bumpies, today really is a mixed bag, so strap in for this rollercoaster. We discuss everything from vaping to religion, if we actually need yearly birthday parties for kids and the most beautiful ‘just you wait’ moments that had us tearing up. We dive into… It’s Week 2 of Harry being away - how is Jayde going this week with solo parenting? The mental load around extra-curricular activities and why it can be anxiety inducing The classic trap of who has it harder and why we probably need to take that straight to couple’s counselling 😅 Possibly controversial, but should we veto yearly birthday parties for kids…? Sophie posted a positive ‘just you wait’ moment on Instagram and the comment section definitely passed the vibe check!  We have a new AITA and it’s a Bumpie wondering if it’s okay to try and sway her teenager’s friendships - is it for the good of your child or does it become dangerous territory? What do you do when your child wants black and white answers around family values? Sophie’s daughter wants to know about religion and it’s bringing up big discussions in the Pearce household   This episode is proudly sponsored by iL Tutto and their Easter Sale with up to 50% off sitewide from March 26 to April 6.   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.

We are back with the Bumpie Group Chat and kicking it straight off with a huge shoutout to the parents out there who are doing it all, whether they’re a single, solo, FIFO or may-as-well be single mum. After a week of Harry being overseas, Jayde is feeling it and can only imagine the load you carry. We also discuss… You can’t do it all and how Jayde is approaching life while her husband is away Sleep unders - what are they and are they ticking all the boxes for families who want to avoid sleepovers? Am I the Asshole?

We are back with the Bumpie Group Chat and honestly, we are a bit shakey and nervous. Why? Because we have recorded our sing-off and have mild regrets. If we aren’t back next week, it’s because we are either on tour or hiding in shame!  On top of our Taylor Swift renditions, we discuss… Jayde’s low energy but getting by! Just in time for her minor day surgery Nail art hacks for low maintenance vibes Sophie needs help with the dummy… not hers, Pearl’s! Jayde shares her thoughts and Bumpies give advice, too Jayde gives an update on Yumi’s nightly performance after our recent episode about not dulling your child’s big personality (while still toning it down a tad) We share our singing recordings……..   This episode is proudly sponsored by Rommer.

We have brought back a Beyond the Bump favourite, Gen Muir (parenting coach, social worker and mum to 4 boys) to help us out with a personal parenting pickle. How do you raise children with BIG personalities without dulling their sparkle? We discuss… Jayde shares her own worries about how this dynamic plays out in her household Gen dives into how our own childhood may be triggered by our children Introverted vs extroverted personalities and how they may exist within a family How do we set a firm boundary even when their big personality rebels against it? Using communication strategies to help unpack your child’s feelings or behaviours Catering to the individual personalities and needs of your family so that we can connect with less resentment When a behaviour is actually a call for help Have we confused caring about our kids' feelings with thinking we are responsible for fixing them?

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!  Soph and Nick realised they’d missed an important assembly at school - relatable!
