    Bumpie Group Chat: a not so romantic getaway, trenches be trenchin’ and a side of bunny lovin’

    13/08/2026 | 37 mins.
    Today on the Bumpie Group Chat, we share the irony in finally getting a child-free weekend for it only to be a bit… crappy. Jayde’s in a challenging season and we unpack the different ways we might adjust to a new normal when things are giving ‘surviving’ instead of ‘thriving’. We dive into…

    Sophie is feeling *wiped* out after her romantic child-free weekend… but not in the way she’d hoped

    Jayde bought bunny rabbits to fill the void

    Making tough parenting choices in the moment

    The heartbreak of separation anxiety for school-aged kids

    When you’re in a tough season of parenting

    The challenge in finding a new normal

    Jayde’s TV show recommendation

    The wildest teenage lie we’ve ever heard

About Beyond the Bump
Beyond the Bump is a podcast brought to you by Jayde Couldwell and Sophie Pearce. It began in the baby years and has grown right alongside us, because motherhood keeps evolving long after the baby stage ends. This is a place for real conversations and honest questions, no matter how hard, about the parts of motherhood that often go unspoken. The mental load that changes shape rather than easing. The identity shifts. The stage where life doesn’t suddenly feel simpler. Wherever you are in it, the aim is the same: to leave you feeling lighter, more understood and a little less alone after every listen.
