Bumpie Group Chat (unfiltered) - Why did no one warn me about this? The ways parenting has changed us for better & worse with Chi, Sophie & Jayde - Part 2
We're back with Part 2 of our honest conversation on how parenting has shaped us. Jayde, Sophie, and Chi sit down for an open and honest chat about how parenting has changed them — in ways they expected, and plenty they didn’t.
They explore the shifts, the surprises, the highs and lows, and everything in between. It’s raw, it’s real, and might just make you feel a little less alone in whatever season you’re in.
**bonus butthole chat may or may not be included
As always, we hope you enjoy! 💛

What’s motherhood like when your neighbour is a paddock & the shops are an hour away? - rural living realities with Stephanie from Motherland
This week, we explore the highs and lows of rural motherhood with Stephanie Trethewey, founder of Motherland. What’s it really like raising kids when your neighbour is a paddock and the shops are an hour away?
Motherland is a national charity that connects rural mums across Australia, reducing isolation and improving mental health outcomes for women on the land. Launched in 2019, it has since grown quickly into a national organisation and multiple support services including the Motherland Podcast, Motherland Village Program, Scholarship Fund, Motherland Connect health platform, and Motherland Events.
Whether you're raising kids in the bush or the 'burbs, this episode is a reminder of the strength found in motherhood—no matter the postcode.
As always, we hope you enjoy!
