  • Kyoung2307
    Lovely podcast
    I’ve been listening since 2020. I love the content variety. Both hosts are articulate, knowledgeable, curious, and compassionate. I love that Jayde and Sophie clearly support one another and root for all women. Motherhood can be lonely and this podcast often gives me just what I need to get through another week.
  • nenmex
    Favorite podcast!
    BTB is my favorite parenting podcast (maybe my favorite overall). Sophie & Jayde are fun, funny, nonjudgmental hosts who bring in amazing guests with varied experiences and perspectives. They’re relatable & great interviewers who tackle important modern day parenting issues with a perfect balance of seriousness & levity.
  • Paigesundelius
    Resourceful while being uplifting!!
    I live in the US and have been listening since I got pregnant (my baby is now 7 months)! As a nurse myself, I was searching for an informative podcast but one that didn’t leave me terrified to screw something up (or scared that I already had). This podcast is a gem and truly strikes that balance of being informative without leaving feelings of guilt or fear. I love how conversational and honest it is! Also, I have never left a review before but felt it was worth mentioning that you are reaching people around the globe! :)
  • Best parenting poddy
    Most beautiful, beneficial podcast about parenting
    I’ve been listening to this podcast for 4 years and it’s not only hilarious but has helped my parenting so much. It’s exactly like the description. Every episode leaves me feeling lighter.
  • Hannah Neo
    So honest & helpful
    Absolutely love this podcast! Just listened to the IVF episode from April 10th and as a fellow Queer going through IVF - Josie’s story was SO helpful to hear. Thank you to her for sharing and I SO hope it goes well for her!!!!! I’m an Australian-American and this podcast gives me so much joy and gives me the comfort of my Aussie side. The hosts are so lovely, the topics are so relevant for anyone going through family planning and even in the hard stories, there is so much love and support. Thank you for creating this and sharing! SO many of us need this cause we’re going through it
  • FrozenDaisy
    Favorite mommy podcast since before conception
    I’ve been religiously listening since before I conceived and now my baby is 1. Still love the content. Keep it coming!!! Also it took me a while to figure out where to leave a review. Google took me to chartable which was very confusing, and I think when I clicked your show the website thought I owned your show. I quickly deleted my account on that website. Hope it didn’t cause you trouble. LOL
  • CassieKish
    Wow YES
    I discovered this podcast from typing in some keywords, and then after scrolling through the episodes, I found myself saying ‘oh my, yes this is so applicable’ … As the parent of a 6 week old, a 2 year old and a 4 year old, I found this podcast to be an excellent resource. I found that the hosts asked exactly what I myself was thinking like they were reading my mind! What an invaluable resource! I am so very glad that I found this podcast. ❤️
  • AmeliaCrabby
    Great for all moms
    I loved this podcast when I was pregnant and even more now that I am a mom!
  • Denkinkc
    Great podcast
    Love Sophie and Jade. They’re funny and discuss interesting content each episode. They are great podcasters and have such a nice flow hosting each episode together. Also love that they are generally realistic and honest, and respectful of people’s identities and parenting choices. This is a really easy to listen to podcast I highly recommend!
  • @a_valdett
    Sense of relief
    I get a sense of relief and a good laugh from this podcast. It just makes motherhood feel like you’re not alone ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
  • Have to invite friends
    Feeling less nervous
    Going from 1-2, & after major trauma from the first, I’ve been spending the last 2 months trying to find the right resource to empower me and give me new tools as I make my way through my third trimester. I love the experts they bring on, and these women are hilarious, so it’s like listening to two girlfriend who are raw, real, life hearted without snobbery. I just love this pod!
  • ahicks2
    My girls!
    Every week I look forward to a new episode of BTB. Jade and Sophie feel like girlfriends I’ve had for years sharing the highs and lows of being a wife, mother, and friend in today’s world. I truly feel more connected, understood, and “lighter” after every listen. Thanks for that ladies!
  • annisscamiss
    Highlight of my week!!
    I look forward to the Beyond the Bump episode each week!!!!! When my daughter is napping it’s a little treat for me 💛 so informative and I love the hosts laid back attitude !
  • Lauren in Utah
    the BEST podcast
    I love this podcast!! I have no babies of my own yet, but I am very passionate about all things birth and being a mom. This podcast has helped me feel more comfortable and ready for when that time comes!! Thank you ladies for a great listen and all your honesty!!
  • michelecampbell
    Yessss
    I’m based out of Washington State and when my husband and I found out we were expecting I naturally gravitated to finding some resources on Instagram. I was surprised of how many women I found out of Australia that I admired. And Jades humor is my fav... I also really like the bird chirps in the podcasts 😌
  • Rainjgarcia
    I’m only a teen and still love these mums!
    I’m 17 and have been following the 2 hosts on instagram for a few years and was SO EXCITED they decided to make a podcast. As someone who isn’t a mum and won’t be for years, I still am very interested and entertained in their topics and conversations each week. It’s very helpful to hear their experiences to prepare and be aware of what motherhood, marriage, and other aspects of life will be like.
