    Bumpies on Board with Brooke - Postnatal Insomnia, Depression & Anxiety Leading to a Mental Health Admission

    This week, we chat with the beautiful Brooke — a first-time mum who shares her raw and real experience with postnatal depression and anxiety. Brooke’s story is one we haven’t heard before, and it’s a powerful reminder that every path through motherhood is different. We’re so thankful to Brooke for trusting us with her story, and we hope you take something from this episode — whether it’s comfort, understanding, or simply knowing you're not alone. Trigger warning: This episode touches on PND and PNA, so please listen in a way that feels right for you.

    Why am I feeling the pressure to bounce back? Turning down the noise on pregnancy and post partum body image - with Dr. Pree, prenatal psychologist

    Why do we feel so much pressure to “bounce back” after having a baby? This week on Beyond the Bump, we chat with the lovely Dr. Pree, a prenatal psychologist, all about the unrealistic expectations around pregnancy and postpartum body image. We talk about where this pressure comes from, why it’s so damn hard to ignore, and how we can start tuning it out. Dr. Pree shares real, practical tips to help you feel more at home in your body—no matter what stage you’re in. If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and felt the weight of “getting your body back,” this one’s for you. It’s honest, supportive, and just the reminder we all need.

    💙 BYTB: Beers with the lads, what is it actually costing you? Talking sobriety & being a sober curious dad with Hamish Adams-Cairns

    Welcome to EP21 of Beyond The Balls! This is a chat with the legendary Hamish Adams-Cairns from the Sober Awkward podcast on all things drinking & dad pub culture. Hamish has been sober for 3 years and having run a podcast on his adventures in sobriety, knows a thing or two about the experience of giving up alcohol. He also presents a wonderfully balanced and non-judgemental view on whether you drink or not. This is an amazing, thoughtful and vulnerable chat about dads & their relationship with alcohol as well as what it means to be sober curious. We delve into the dark side of when men refuse to give up their life before kids and take responsibility, addiction and what alcohol is really costing you. Chi opens up on some of his struggles with alcohol and we share plenty of laughs along the way. Whether you’re a sober curious dad or a mother who thinks their partner might have a tough relationship with alcohol, we hope you enjoy and take something from this episode. We thank Hamish for his time!   Resource links: Hamish’s Instagram: @hamishadamscairns Sober Awkward Instagram: @soberawkward Sober Awkward Website: https://www.soberawkward.com 30 day Sober Guide: https://www.soberawkward.com/theguide Vic's books: https://www.soberawkward.com/store Vic’s episode on Beyond The Bump   Beyond the Balls is a fatherhood podcast brought to you by Jayde Couldwell and Chi Lo, a Beyond The Bump production.

    What topic didn't we spiral into? Health anxiety, finding your style again postpartum, transition to 2 kids & a hell of a lot more – with Liv Brown, stylist

    This week on the pod, we’re joined by the lovely Liv Brown from @rattle_style – and what a chat it was! We originally invited Liv on to talk about finding your style again postpartum, but in true Beyond the Bump fashion, we spiraled into so much more (in the best way). We ended up diving deep into topics like postnatal depression (PND), postnatal anxiety (PNA), health anxiety, navigating a bub who’s unwell, coping when your own mum is unwell, and the big transition to two kids. It’s raw, real, and full of heart. You don’t want to miss this one!

    Are my kids ungrateful or can we call this developmental? — with Gen Muir

    This one was a ripper! In this episode, we chat with Gen Muir — and yes, we know we say every episode is a ripper, but this one really hit home. Sophie felt like her kids were on the trip of a lifetime, but they didn’t really seem all that grateful for it. Gen’s insights on kids and gratitude have really helped us approach the situation with more compassion, kindness, and patience. Most importantly, it helped us realise it’s not just a "them" issue — and that took away a lot of the shame around this topic.

From period pain to productivity slumps, this dummies guide to cyclical living will leave you feeling more in tune with your body and how to work with it, not against it.

    💙 BYTB: Because 1990s Parenting Doesn't Work Anymore... Parenting This Generation - With Gen Muir

    Welcome to EP20 of Beyond The Balls! This is a chat with the legendary Gen Muir on Millennial fatherhood and what’s changed over the generations.  Gen is an experienced Parent Educator, Author, Podcaster, Obstetric Social Worker and mum to four boys who has worked with over 40,000 parents to date! Her aim is to help you understand the principles, tools and strategies that boost connection, even in tricky moments, so you become the expert on your child. We talk about how fatherhood has changed over time, how the role of fathers has changed including what society expects and how men are asking to be more present than ever. We talk about discipline, about tantrums & how to interpret what your child is trying to tell you by their actions: I promise you’ll leave this one feeling more knowledgeable than ever.
