Sobre el podcast
Beyond the Bump is a podcast brought to you by Jayde Couldwell and Sophie Pearce. It began in the baby years and has grown right alongside us, because motherhood keeps evolving long after the baby stage ends.
This is a place for real conversations and honest questions, no matter how hard, about the parts of motherhood that often go unspoken. The mental load that changes shape rather than easing. The identity shifts. The stage where life doesn’t suddenly feel simpler. Wherever you are in it, the aim is the same: to leave you feeling lighter, more understood and a little less alone after every listen.

This week we are welcoming back author, speaker and parenting educator Michelle Mitchell, and her new book Friendship Smart: A Parent’s Guide, for a deep dive into friendships in the tween and teen years. From the drama of year seven to group chats that never switch off, it’s honest, practical and full of lines you’ll want to keep in your back pocket. We discuss…
- Why kids can tell you what makes a good friend but not how relationships actually work
- What puberty does to the brain, and why your voice becomes one of many in a teenager’s world
- Why “best friend” is a tricky label
- Kind vs nice: why honesty is sometimes the kindest option, and why conflict can be like exercise
- Don’t step into the boxing ring with a teenager
- What makes a great friendship: safety, chemistry and effort
- Changing schools, friends vs a fresh start, and why school is only one location
- Group chats, phones out of bedrooms and why nothing online is private
- Bullying, when to step in, and how to teach kids to be the safe person in the room

Along the way we settle the big questions, such as:
- Clean up spew or clean up diarrhea?

- Forget the snack bag or forget the nappy bag?

- Tiny Barbie accessories or the high chair clean-up?

We’re so excited to welcome back Rachel, founder of Australian sexual wellness brand LBDO, who is now seven weeks postpartum with baby Elijah. This is an honest, shame free chat about intimacy, female pleasure and the reality of the postpartum body. Fair warning, it gets a bit spicy, so listen with headphones if little ears are around. We discuss…
- Why there’s still so much stigma around female pleasure, and why Rachel started LBDO
- Mismatched libidos, the mental load and why it’s completely normal
- Using a vibrator with your partner (it’s not about replacing them) and how to start the conversation outside the bedroom
- Why intimacy doesn’t have to mean sex, and bringing back the pash
- The six week postpartum “all clear” and why that milestone is so arbitrary
- Accepting your postpartum body, bounce back culture and the guilt that comes with body positivity
- Building a mini postpartum capsule wardrobe
- Talking to our daughters about pleasure and having a shame free household
Please note, providing a child under 16 with sex toys or pornography is a criminal offence.

For this episode of our Newborn Mini Series, The First 365, we speak to Renee Jennings, a dietitian, mum of two and women’s health nutrition expert, to ask what are the TOP 5 things all new parents should know about postpartum nutrition. Renee cuts through the noise of the nutrition world to give us research-backed, bite-sized (pun intended) facts and tips for newborn mums. We discuss…
- Focusing on eating enough rather than eating ‘perfectly’
- The huge nutrient requirements needed to heal and nurture our bodies and babies
- Easy ideas for nutritious snacks and ways to boost nutrients in meals
- Postpartum is not the season for weightloss
- Does breastfeeding make you lose weight?
- The importance of supplements when you’re postpartum
- Postpartum depletion
- How do you know if you are depleted?
- Ask for help if you’re not feeling well
- Moving from deficient to within range to optimal
- Is protein over-hyped?
- The power of fibre

For this episode of our Newborn Mini Series, The First 365, we speak to Nicole Pates, paediatric physiotherapist, to ask what are the TOP 5 things all new parents should know about physical milestones in the first year of life.

- Early intervention leads to better outcomes
- Crawling, bum-shuffling and the wide variety of physical skills
- Do walkers and jumpers actually help babies learn to walk?
- Should babies show a dominant hand?
- The noise around “shoulds” of milestones
- Play! The importance of play
- Temperament, security and exploring learning opportunities
- Plastic toys vs wooden toys - is one better than the other?
- Connection before correction
