Teaching our children about body safety is proven to help prevent sexual abuse and open up communication with our kids. For our second episode in partnership with One Talk at a Time, we dive into a heavy topic but one that is so vital to empower and protect our children. We speak with Jayneen Sanders (aka Jay Dale) to give us some practical strategies and how we can teach the 5 Body Safety Rules. An author, teacher, mum of 3 and an advocate for Body Safety Education, Jayneed provides us with reassurance and practical advice from the perspective of a parent and educator. We discuss…

When do we start teaching body safety? 

How to weave body safety language and rules into your parenting from birth

The 5 Body Safety Rules

The power of modelling consent and body boundaries

Getting comfortable with uncomfortable conversations

Empowering our children and their different personalities

Praising efforts over achievements

No secrets, surprises only

Keeping kids safe online

The importance of believing survivors

Empowering anxious children when they’re already fearful

Sleepovers, play dates and code words

Welcome to The First 365, a Newborn Mini Series brought to you by Beyond the Bump in partnership with Bonds. We are kicking it off by speaking with Clare, an IBCLC, endorsed midwife, mum of three and the face behind The Womb Rooms. We ask Clare what are the top five things we should all know about breastfeeding, lactation and feeding your baby. We discuss…

The basic physiology behind breastfeeding

Supply and demand (and how that can look)

How frequently should we remove milk from the breast?

Does breast or nipple size impact feeding?

Antenatal expressing

Should breastfeeding ever be painful?

Afterbirth pain and breastfeeding

Babies don’t just feed because they are hungry… and that is normal

Why feeding schedules don’t cater to every baby

It doesn’t matter how you feed them, it is how you respond to them

Soft breasts doesn’t mean no milk

Engorgement and supply regulation

Breastfeeding support in the first 6 months

Tips for a good latch

The importance of postpartum support to safekeep breastfeeding

Guilt around feeding our babies

Breastfeeding should never come at the expense of your mental health

Burnout is a term that gets thrown around a lot and Stacie Skehan, Emotional Intelligence Educator, knows it all too well. A mum of 3, navigating two divorces and chasing a string of career accolades, it wasn’t until total burnout forced her to stop and she had to feel what she had been suppressing for decades. Stacie shares her motherhood journey, relationships realisations and gives us a deep insight into how feeling, not fixing, is what is needed for ourselves and in turn, our children. We discuss…

Stacie’s surprise pregnancy and tough postpartum

When infidelity and drugs emerged in her first marriage 

Why learning to listen to your instincts is important

The post divorce glow-up

Meeting her second husband (and finding the opposite of her ex)

Navigating consecutive miscarriages in  remote Australia

Irish twins! Getting pregnant at 3 months postpartum 

Giving and receiving love via achievements and productivity

Burnout - ignoring the warning signs and suppressing your emotions

When you can’t rest unless something forces you to

The importance of modeling our emotions to our children

Reflecting on childhood to see where you’re repeating behaviours as an adult
