Beyond the Bump

Sophie Pearce & Jayde Couldwell

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.

Welcome to EP21 of Beyond The Balls! This is a chat with the legendary Hamish Adams-Cairns from the Sober Awkward podcast on all things drinking & dad pub culture. Hamish has been sober for 3 years and having run a podcast on his adventures in sobriety, knows a thing or two about the experience of giving up alcohol. He also presents a wonderfully balanced and non-judgemental view on whether you drink or not. This is an amazing, thoughtful and vulnerable chat about dads & their relationship with alcohol as well as what it means to be sober curious. We delve into the dark side of when men refuse to give up their life before kids and take responsibility, addiction and what alcohol is really costing you. Chi opens up on some of his struggles with alcohol and we share plenty of laughs along the way. Whether you’re a sober curious dad or a mother who thinks their partner might have a tough relationship with alcohol, we hope you enjoy and take something from this episode.

What topic didn't we spiral into? Health anxiety, finding your style again postpartum, transition to 2 kids & a hell of a lot more – with Liv Brown, stylist
This week on the pod, we’re joined by the lovely Liv Brown from @rattle_style – and what a chat it was! We originally invited Liv on to talk about finding your style again postpartum, but in true Beyond the Bump fashion, we spiraled into so much more (in the best way). We ended up diving deep into topics like postnatal depression (PND), postnatal anxiety (PNA), health anxiety, navigating a bub who’s unwell, coping when your own mum is unwell, and the big transition to two kids. It’s raw, real, and full of heart. You don’t want to miss this one!

Are my kids ungrateful or can we call this developmental? — with Gen Muir
This one was a ripper! In this episode, we chat with Gen Muir — and yes, we know we say every episode is a ripper, but this one really hit home. Sophie felt like her kids were on the trip of a lifetime, but they didn’t really seem all that grateful for it. Gen’s insights on kids and gratitude have really helped us approach the situation with more compassion, kindness, and patience. Most importantly, it helped us realise it’s not just a "them" issue — and that took away a lot of the shame around this topic.

💙 BYTB: Growing from boy to father - when will you be ready? Navigating your rite of passage, with Jason from Raising Fathers
Welcome to EP19 of Beyond The Balls! This is a chat with the amazing Jason Seeman from Raising Fathers on the rite of passage that is growing from boy to man then a father. Jason is a fatherhood guide, educator, and facilitator with over a decade of experience creating programs like Raising Fathers, The Rites of Passage Institute and The Man Cave. Whether he’s helping men embrace the challenges of fatherhood, designing bespoke rites of passage, or sharing his reflections through Raising Fathers, Jason is driven by a singular purpose: to elevate fatherhood and help men step into this sacred role with confidence, intention, and heart; something Beyond The Balls is completely on board with! We talk about what it means to transition to fatherhood in an unhealthy manner, including the situation every father has been in, which is giving up who he once was, knowing that time at the pub might be a bit more scarce - but that’s OK! Fatherhood is to be celebrated and it is ok to mourn who you once were, in order to accept and celebrate who you now are. We thank Jason for his time, YA LEGEND!
