Beyond the Bump

• Why did no one warn me about this? The ways parenting has changed us for better & worse with Chi, Sophie & Jayde - Part 1

  In this week’s episode, Jayde, Sophie, and Chi sit down for an open and honest chat about how parenting has changed them — in ways they expected, and plenty they didn’t. They explore the shifts, the surprises, the highs and lows, and everything in between. It’s raw, it’s real, and might just make you feel a little less alone in whatever season you’re in. There was so much to say on this topic, we decided to make it a two-parter — stay tuned for Part 2 next week! As always, we hope you enjoy! 💛   Resource links: Listen to Beyond the Balls Follow Beyond the Balls IG: @beyondtheballs.podcast Beyond the Bump is a podcast brought to you by Jayde Couldwell and Sophie Pearce!

• What’s motherhood like when your neighbour is a paddock & the shops are an hour away? - rural living realities with Stephanie from Motherland

  This week, we explore the highs and lows of rural motherhood with Stephanie Trethewey, founder of Motherland. What’s it really like raising kids when your neighbour is a paddock and the shops are an hour away? Motherland is a national charity that connects rural mums across Australia, reducing isolation and improving mental health outcomes for women on the land. Launched in 2019, it has since grown quickly into a national organisation and multiple support services including the Motherland Podcast, Motherland Village Program, Scholarship Fund, Motherland Connect health platform, and Motherland Events. Whether you're raising kids in the bush or the 'burbs, this episode is a reminder of the strength found in motherhood—no matter the postcode.

• Bumpie Group Chat (unfiltered) – Wait… who am I outside of being a mum?

  This week on the poddy, our beautiful VA Clare joins us for a chat about identity, and all the different versions of ourselves—before kids, during mum life, and who we’re still becoming. Jayde asks Clare and Sophie some questions about who they are both inside and outside of being a mum, and it sparked such a real and honest convo. It’s raw and relatable, and as always we hope you enjoy! 💛   Beyond the Bump is a podcast brought to you by Jayde Couldwell and Sophie Pearce! A podcast targeted at mums, just like you!

• How can I keep my kids safe without them missing out? - with Victoria Barendsen, psychologist (in sexual abuse prevention)

  Just a heads-up: we do talk about child sexual abuse in this chat, so please skip this one if it feels like too much right now.  In this episode, we chat with the lovely Victoria Barendsen, a psychologist who specialises in sexual abuse prevention, about how we can keep our kids safe without them missing out on all the fun stuff—like sleepovers and playdates. Vic shares simple, age-appropriate ways to talk to our kids about body safety, boundaries, and consent. She also gives us some great tips on what to look out for in different settings, and how to empower our children with knowledge—without scaring them.  It’s a really important convo we think all parents and carers should hear. As always, we hope you enjoy! 💛   Resource links: Follow Victoria on IG: @thesafekidsproject Link to Free Playdates and Sleepovers Checklist (referred to in the podcast) Link to website: thesafekidsproject.com   Links for support AUS: 1800RESPECT Phone: 1800 737 732 (24/7) Website: www.1800respect.org.au Services: 24/7 confidential counselling, information, and referrals for people impacted by sexual assault, domestic or family violence.
