Bumpie Group Chat: From Victoria’s Secret runway to our rectum, with a little mum guilt in between

This Bumpie Group Chat covers everything from mum guilt to a different kind of toilet manners. We’re getting real about the mental load of going away and a very modern kind of people pleasing. We discuss…

• An unexpected visit from “Chris Hemsworth”... Not the one you’re thinking of...

• Mum guilt when you’re both away for work, and how to handle separation anxiety

• Writing down the week’s mental load, and why seeing it on paper is validating

• Apologising to a Japanese toilet: are we extreme empaths or just Australian?

• Your confessions: robot vacuums, bruised fruit and not breaking up a bunch of bananas

• Victoria’s Secret, a postpartum model on the runway and bounce back culture, and why we don't even know what we actually think
