This week on Beyond the Bump, we’re thrilled to welcome back the beautiful Vicki! A few weeks ago, we chatted with Vic about sobriety — but this time, we’re diving into something different: failing as a mum. We talk about what failure can look like, how we can make peace with it, and why we’re still more than enough despite our stumbles. It’s a raw, real, and reassuring conversation for every parent.

As always, we hope you enjoy! 💛

Welcome to EP19 of Beyond The Balls!

This is a chat with the amazing Jason Seeman from Raising Fathers on the rite of passage that is growing from boy to man then a father.

Jason is a fatherhood guide, educator, and facilitator with over a decade of experience creating programs like Raising Fathers, The Rites of Passage Institute and The Man Cave.

Whether he’s helping men embrace the challenges of fatherhood, designing bespoke rites of passage, or sharing his reflections through Raising Fathers, Jason is driven by a singular purpose: to elevate fatherhood and help men step into this sacred role with confidence, intention, and heart; something Beyond The Balls is completely on board with!

We talk about what it means to transition to fatherhood in an unhealthy manner, including the situation every father has been in, which is giving up who he once was, knowing that time at the pub might be a bit more scarce - but that’s OK! Fatherhood is to be celebrated and it is ok to mourn who you once were, in order to accept and celebrate who you now are.

We thank Jason for his time, YA LEGEND!
