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. Whether it’s a hangover, exhaustion or a babysitter, we discuss how the cost of a night out is high these days. So, is it worth it?

6 april 2026 · 58 min
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! Lees meer

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

As we roll into the long weekend, we are both relieved and overwhelmed.

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.

26 maart 2026 · 35 min
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… Lees meer
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?

How do I know if I’m done? 8 adults, 1 powerful conversation - with the whole BTB team
26 februari 2026 · 1 uur
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? Lees meer
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!

REPLAY: Anyone else feeling overwhelmed by motherhood? Being compassionate with ourselves - with Belinda Haan
19 januari 2026 · 1 uur 27 min
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. Lees meer
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.
Here are some free resources that may support you:

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. Lees meer
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. From everyday “what ifs” to Jayde’s completely unhinged scenario involving a butterfly and inhaling an entire cake... yep, you read that right!
As always, we hope you enjoy! 💛
