Beyond The Bump is a podcast, brought to you by Jayde Couldwell and Sophie Pearce! A podcast targeted at mums, just like you! A place to have real conversations with honest and authentic people. 

In our twenty fourth episode of Beyond The Bump, we chat to Vanessa Hammond, or you may know her by her maiden name Vanessa Prosser. She tells us about her “slow living” lifestyle, raising her two beautiful children simply, her experiences with a partner who does fly in fly out work and her journey so far homeschooling her daughter. 

Vanessa also touches on some of the emotions she went through when she found out that she was pregnant at just 19 years of age. 

Vanessa teaches us not to stress the small stuff and prioritise the things that really matter! 

You can follow Vanessa on instagram at @vanessahammond for endless beach adventures, delicious smoothies, trips in their Troopie, her two super cute kids and so much more.
