Bumpie Group Chat (unfiltered) - Jayde made the mistake of reading tattle and Sophie doesn’t know who she is anymore
Jayde opens up about falling down the rabbit hole of Tattle Life...yes, she went there... And shares why she searched, and why at the end of the day it doesn't reallllly matter what people say online.
Meanwhile, Sophie reflects on how a year of caravan life has shifted her priorities in unexpected ways. From what now matters to her day-to-day, to the things she no longer loves (or maybe never did?).

Bumpie Group Chat (unfiltered) - To post or not to post your kids online? Do butterflies really only live 24hrs and tips on how NOT to record a podcast.
Recording this episode was truly a comedy of errors in tech land - think mics dropping out, Wi-Fi giving up on life, and Jayde forgetting how headphones work. But! Amongst the chaos, we dive into a super honest chat about something many parents grapple with: sharing their kids online.
Sophie opens up about why she’s stepped back from posting images of her little ones, from privacy worries to the weirdness of strangers recognising them. Jayde shares the flip side: why she still feels comfortable posting her kids and how she navigates it in a way that feels safe and right for her family. No judgement, no rules - just two friends unpacking a very modern parenting dilemma.
And because it wouldn’t be a without a little chaos… we also get into the intrusive repeative thoughts. From everyday “what ifs” to Jayde’s completely unhinged scenario involving a butterfly and inhaling an entire cake... yep, you read that right!
As always, we hope you enjoy! 💛

Is this normal mum worry or post natal anxiety? Where can I turn for help? - with PANDA CEO & clinical psychologist, Julie Borninkhof
In honour of Perinatal Mental Health Week, this episode we’re joined by the incredible Julie Borninkhof, CEO of PANDA (Perinatal Anxiety & Depression Australia).
Julie helps us unpack the real experiences so many parents go through, often silently. We chat about why perinatal mental health is everyone’s business, what signs we should be looking out for in ourselves and in the people we love, and why reaching out for support is a strength, not a weakness.
If you are an expecting parent, new parent, or support person looking for safe, caring, and confidential space to talk, the PANDA National Helpline is available on:
1300 726 306
Monday to Friday, 9am - 7.30pm
Saturday, 9am – 4pm (AEST/AEDT)
If you are having suicidal thoughts or are feeling disoriented it’s important to get help immediately. PANDA is not a crisis service, if you need immediate support call Lifeline 13 11 14 (24/7).
CALL 000 for police and ambulance if you or someone else are in immediate danger
- You can find the PANDA website here: www.panda.org.au
