Welcome to Episode 259 of Beyond the Bump!
We weren’t going to drop an episode this week (hello school holidays!), but we just couldn’t wait to share this one with you! We had the pleasure of chatting with the lovely Millie, a paramedic and mum, all about the juggle of motherhood and shift work, and the added challenges that it presents.
We’ll be taking a little break next week to soak up the chaos and joy of the school holidays, but we didn’t want to hold onto this episode any longer!
If you’ve made it through the holidays – well done! If you’re just starting – good luck! 
And as always, we hope you enjoy this episode!

Welcome to Episode 251 of Beyond the Bump!
This week, we’re diving into a topic that is often overlooked but deeply important—termination. We sit down with Laksmi Wilson to have an open and honest conversation about this complex decision, hoping it resonates with those who may have experienced it, know someone who has, or might face it in the future.
Termination is a deeply personal and difficult choice. We acknowledge the strength and courage it takes for women to make decisions about their bodies, health, and futures. Everyone’s journey is unique, and it’s not our place to judge, but rather to support and understand.
We hope this episode sheds some light on this under-discussed topic. Thank you for tuning in, and we hope you get something out of this episode!

Welcome to Episode 250 of Beyond the Bump! This week, we chat with family lawyer Rebecca Thompson about all things separation. We dive into what you need to consider if you're going through a divorce, but also what to know before you tie the knot. With nearly 50% of marriages ending in divorce, it's important to think about the practical stuff—finances, custody, and more. Rebecca also busts some common myths around separation. We hope you find this episode both enlightening and reassuring. Thanks for listening, and as always, enjoy!

Welcome to EP02 of Beyond the Balls. This week, hosts Jayde Couldwell and Chi Lo chat with the amazing Rob Sturrock, author of Man Raises Boy, about debunking fatherhood myths:
“You can’t help at all at the start because you can’t breastfeed.”
“Pregnancy means a horny wife.”
“You have a kid now; welcome to no-sex land.”
“You probably won’t bond with your kid until later.”
“Welcome to your new dad bod.”
“Taking paternity leave is career suicide.”
“Your favorite pub has burned down.”
“You can’t do as good a job as Mom at parenting.”
Listen in to see what we think is true and what isn’t.
