Beyond the Bump

Have you written a Will? This episode has been *highly* requested by Bumpies so we spoke to Tessa from Lyden Lane to discuss estate planning and future-proofing for our children after we are gone. Yes, it feels confronting but we know we need to adult-up and get it done for the benefit of our family. We discuss…

What actually is a Will? 

What happens if you pass away without one? And is it just needed when one parent dies or both!?

Does debt get passed down if it’s not paid off?

Boomer wealth, granny flats, intergenerational living and the Bank of Mum and Dad

Divorce - does it impact a Will?

The toughest part - who will care for your kids!? We were both in SHOCK with just how complex this decision is legally

The up front cost of estate planning

How superannuation might be an asset you hadn’t considered

Tessa shares the voice note she’s leaving behind for her kids - we were not okay!

So, where do we begin if we want to set up an estate plan after today? 

If you’d like to, find out more from Tessa at Lyden Lane’s website here.

Bumpies, today really is a mixed bag, so strap in for this rollercoaster. We discuss everything from vaping to religion, if we actually need yearly birthday parties for kids and the most beautiful ‘just you wait’ moments that had us tearing up. We dive into…

It’s Week 2 of Harry being away - how is Jayde going this week with solo parenting?

The mental load around extra-curricular activities and why it can be anxiety inducing

The classic trap of who has it harder and why we probably need to take that straight to couple’s counselling 😅

Possibly controversial, but should we veto yearly birthday parties for kids…?

Sophie posted a positive ‘just you wait’ moment on Instagram and the comment section definitely passed the vibe check! 

We have a new AITA and it’s a Bumpie wondering if it’s okay to try and sway her teenager’s friendships - is it for the good of your child or does it become dangerous territory?

What do you do when your child wants black and white answers around family values? Sophie’s daughter wants to know about religion and it’s bringing up big discussions in the Pearce household

We are back with the Bumpie Group Chat and kicking it straight off with a huge shoutout to the parents out there who are doing it all, whether they’re a single, solo, FIFO or may-as-well be single mum. After a week of Harry being overseas, Jayde is feeling it and can only imagine the load you carry. We also discuss…

You can’t do it all and how Jayde is approaching life while her husband is away

Sleep unders - what are they and are they ticking all the boxes for families who want to avoid sleepovers?

Am I the Asshole? A Bumpie has submitted their pickle and we unpack whether they’re being unreasonable or if a surprise Sunday visit from her mother-in-law was poorly timed
