Today on the Bumpie Group Chat, we share the irony in finally getting a child-free weekend for it only to be a bit… crappy. Jayde’s in a challenging season and we unpack the different ways we might adjust to a new normal when things are giving ‘surviving’ instead of ‘thriving’. We dive into… • Sophie is feeling *wiped* out after her romantic child-free weekend… but not in the way she’d hoped • Jayde bought bunny rabbits to fill the void • Making tough parenting choices in the moment • The heartbreak of separation anxiety for school-aged kids • When you’re in a tough season of parenting • The challenge in finding a new normal • Jayde’s TV show recommendation • The wildest teenage lie we’ve ever heard Beyond the Bump is hosted by Jayde Couldwell (@londonxboston) and Sophie Pearce (@svpearce) Come say hey over on Instagram @beyondthebump.podcast TikTok @beyondthebumppodcast Facebook - Beyond the Bump Community Chats group Sign up to our monthly newsletter here for BTS, recommendations, outfits and more.
