    BONUS EP - 4 years of BTB, have we learnt anything?! - with Sophie and Jayde

    BONUS EP - 4 years of BTB, have we learnt anything?! - with Sophie and Jayde

    Welcome to a special BONUS episode of Beyond the Bump! We can't believe it's been almost four incredible years since we embarked on this podcasting journey, and we're beyond thrilled to celebrate over 6 million downloads with you, our amazing listeners.
    In this episode, we're answering some of the questions you've sent in. How did we meet? Why did we decide to start a podcast? Are we besties? Plus, we'll explore whether envy ever creeps into our relationship? And if we have any regrets or things we'd do differently if we could turn back time?
    To wrap things up, we'll take a trip down memory lane by revisiting some of our first episodes, where the audio quality was... let's say, less than ideal.
    Most importantly, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you who've stuck with us for these four incredible years. Your support means the world to us, and we couldn't have done it without you. We love you Bumpies!!!!

    Food for thought: how can we raise kids with a healthy relationship with food and body image? - with Lyndi Cohen, nutritionist and dietician

    Food for thought: how can we raise kids with a healthy relationship with food and body image? - with Lyndi Cohen, nutritionist and dietician

    On Episode 204 of Beyond the Bump, we're joined by Lyndi Cohen. Lyndi is a nutritionist and dietician and in this episode, we're redefining how we approach food when it comes to feeding our little ones. 
    But it's not just about what's on the plate; we're reshaping the conversation — unlearning those '90s/early noughties food myths and embracing a fresh perspective on nourishment.
    Trigger warning! This episode touches on disordered eating and eating disorders – so hit pause if that's a sensitive topic for you.

Resourceful while being uplifting!!

I live in the US and have been listening since I got pregnant (my baby is now 7 months)! As a nurse myself, I was searching for an informative podcast but one that didn’t leave me terrified to screw something up (or scared that I already had). This podcast is a gem and truly strikes that balance of being informative without leaving feelings of guilt or fear. I love how conversational and honest it is! Also, I have never left a review before but felt it was worth mentioning that you are reaching people around the globe! :)

So honest & helpful

Absolutely love this podcast! Just listened to the IVF episode from April 10th and as a fellow Queer going through IVF - Josie’s story was SO helpful to hear. Thank you to her for sharing and I SO hope it goes well for her!!!!!

I’m an Australian-American and this podcast gives me so much joy and gives me the comfort of my Aussie side. The hosts are so lovely, the topics are so relevant for anyone going through family planning and even in the hard stories, there is so much love and support. Thank you for creating this and sharing! SO many of us need this cause we’re going through it
