6/25/202621 min
We dive straight into a short and sweet Bumpie Group Chat today as surprisingly, both of us had great weeks! As we crawl out of some mild parenting trenches, we remind ourselves of the importance of help, making time for ourselves and remembering that we are doing a damn good job! We yap about…
- Does anything replace the help you get from a supportive family?
- Parenting away from a village
- Don’t compare yourself to others parenting journeys
- Sophie’s 3 year old is sleeping better and life is looking up
- The sleep advice Sophie is implementing
- Jayde’s made new progress in helping Yumi with emotional regulation
- The importance of parent’s nightly decompression session
- Our rebrand launches next week!
- School holidays are incoming are we are crawling to the finish line
Beyond the Bump is hosted by Jayde Couldwell (@londonxboston) and Sophie Pearce (@svpearce)
