    How can I parent a big personality without dulling their shine? - with Gen Muir

    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 importance of being kind to yourself as a self-regulation tool   This episode is proudly sponsored by Rommer.   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.

    How can I get this brain of mine to breathe? Simplifying for the sake of our nervous system with Jodi Wilson

    The “nervous system” has been mentioned a lot lately and for good reason! Life is busy and our body wasn’t designed to be dealing with this level of stress 24/7. So today, we speak to Jodi Wilson, bestselling author, yoga teacher and postpartum doula, about her latest book, A Brain that Breathes: essential habits for an overwhelming world. We discuss… What even is the nervous system and how can we slow down? How the constant mental load, multitasking and being chronically online all contribute to an overwhelmed nervous system Small daily habits that we can use to help calm ourselves down (the real self-care!) The ‘switch cost effect’ and how it is really impacting mothers Children’s innate ability to be present Our biological need to rest in order for our brain to function productively How ‘the infinite scroll’ and picking up our phones keeps us in fight/flight 5 strategies to use when you’re overwhelmed Links mentioned in this episode: Read Jodi’s book here Find Jodi on Substack here or on Instagram at @practisingimplicity  This episode is proudly sponsored by Tonies.

    Bumpie Group Chat: Is it couple’s therapy or co host therapy? And thanks to the Bumpies for keeping us sane!

    The Bumpie Group Chat is back and Sophie reveals her vulnerability hangover. After being literally inundated with messages from Bumpies who could relate to her worries about school, Sophie shares her current reflections on how life might look like for her family. We also dive into… Is it more acceptable to share you need time away from your kids than to say that you want to be with them as much as possible? Could hybrid learning be the answer to Sophie’s concerns? Sophie and Nick have made the decision to unenrol Pearl from pre-school and the relief is tangible  Jayde shares how her and Harry’s first marriage counselling session went down. To Jayde’s surprise, it was NOT what she expected How do your attachment styles and communication strategies impact your relationship?  There’s nothing like wrapping up the episode by trying a therapy technique on air with each other while sharing a single microphone!

    Anyone else struggling with drops offs? Separation anxiety, resilience & more with Orlanda, teacher, psychology dress & mother

    The school year has well and truly started but that doesn’t mean separation anxiety, tough drop offs and big feelings have come to an end. We spoke to Orlanda (@mybrain.books) all about how we can support our children when it comes to starting formal care, whether that be daycare, pre-school or school itself. We chatted to her all about…   What factors influence separation anxiety or difficult drop offs? When might it be our own anxiety or when is it our gut telling us something might need to change? How can a child’s cognitive development or readiness impact these transitions? Building resilience through support and safety and equipping our kids with language around their emotions What strategies can help us with drop offs? Distressed children, school refusal and when separation anxiety might need further support The importance of communicating, finding supportive educators and doing what’s right for your family Orlanda is a mother of two boys, an experienced primary school teacher with a psychology degree and the founder of My Brain Books. She is passionate about nurturing children's mental health, resilience and emotional intelligence.
