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.... more

Life is not perfect and your honestly is always refreshing. Thank you for sharing!!!
Your Friday eps are one of my favourite to listen to across all podcasts. It doesn’t matter what you’re both talking about, I find them really enjoyable, humbling, and helpful. I was losing it at today’s ep (Friday 18th)!! So good, so real.
Would be helpful to have an episode on neurodivergent kids and how mainstream parenting advice does not work for a lot of them, particularly PDA (pathological demand avoidance) which is an autism profile. Particularly in conversations around boundaries and “saying no”, it just doesn’t apply to my PDA son 😢 sometimes a child’s behaviour isn’t a reflection on our parenting, which these conversations can imply.
It’s a hard listen. Understand poor Jayde is struggling but the level of struggle is hard to articulate why it doesn’t feel appropriate. It’s extremely heavy. And yes I can turn off. I have to and have the Friday chat one more chance and it’s just not it. Sophie is the complete other end every very surface level and hardly offers to much personally. The interruptions from Jayde are hard too. Do think both are brilliant people but it’s just not the same. I’m not completely sure as to why.
I am loving this podcast lately. The Friday ep is the first podcast I choose to listen to on my commute. Love hearing Jayde open up and be so vulnerable. She makes me feel less alone and is truly inspiring. She absolutely makes the podcast and I wouldn’t listen if she wasn’t there. I love how she is authentically herself and has lots of life experience to share.
