Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Bumpie Group Chat: Gen Muir has joined the chat, vaping vs. old school smoking, teenage shenanigans and your date horror stories
Q: What does the research say about giving kids a couple of drinks?
Jen explains that research generally suggests it's not a great idea to provide alcohol to minors, and parents should work toward being a trusted contact and guide rather than enabling experimentation; the emphasis is on safety, legality, and open communication.
The First 365: What does a paediatric doctor want all new parents to know? - with Hailey O'Neill
Q: What is your favorite part of going to work each day?

Would you ever consider boarding school? - with rural mum Amanda Ferrari, founder of The Boarding School Collective

They provide access to diverse subject choices, sports, and a pathway that small rural schools often can't offer, reducing the need to move far away and giving families options that fit their child's needs.
Is listening to our gut the key to decreasing burn out? - with With Stacie, mum of 3 and Emotional Intelligence Coach
Q: How did Stacie's journey into motherhood begin, and what were the early experiences like?
Stacie describes becoming a mother at a young age, the shift from planning to unplanned pregnancies, and the challenges of doing everything 'right' while navigating lack of feedback and the learning curve of motherhood.
