Season 5 of More Than a Lumpy Jumper kicks off with a trip down memory lane as Bobby revisits the very first episode, “Being in the Conversation.”

 Here she reflects on how far she and Bridge had come since those raw, unpolished beginnings, key lessons on communication, connection, and vulnerability and the

Time for another “Guest Gifts” with Bobby at the mic! Pull up a chair (and maybe a crash helmet) as Lizzie Beuzeval and Sara Scott join Bobby for an unfiltered chat about juggling life, work, family, and everything in between. These multitasking marvels share their wisdom on finding flow, saying no (or not yet), and redefining what it means to truly thrive—without dropping too many plates (or whole dinner services!) along the way.

We dive into the freedom of setting boundaries, and the challenge of finding those elusive 15 minutes of "me time." From navigating the fine line between perfectionism and play to embracing the art of uni-tasking, Lizzie and Sara offer sharp insights and relatable stories.

Oh, and there is also some talk of fancy-dress shenanigans and a black Sharpie of doom. Listen in to find out more!

Tune in for a glorious celebration of life's chaos, with plenty of relatable stories and laughter to keep your plates spinning—and your sanity just about intact!

And now it’s the Bobster’s turn to be in the driving seat for "Guest Gifts," hanging out with dedicated listeners.
Welcome to a powerhouse of self-discovery and connection as Aime Rushton and Ali Spooner join Bobby for a raw, real, and riotously funny conversation. These two phenomenal women tackle big themes—belonging, community, finding your voice, and navigating the complex dance of introversion and extroversion—all with a hefty dose of humour and heart.
From untethered moments of loss to the joy of finding their tribes, Amy and Ali reflect on what it means to truly know yourself and be seen. We dig deep into the myth of "faking it till you make it," the power of authentic connection, and yes, the occasional need to “thwang it out” (you'll have to listen to get it!).
Whether you're building your community, stepping into your space, or just figuring out how to sing from your belly, this episode invites you to pause, reflect, and laugh your way to a deeper understanding of yourself and others.
Press play and join the conversation that feels like a warm hug from your tribe—minus the toxic cocktails

This is Bridge's last week in the driving seat of guests gifts and she is joined by Leina Ibnouf, a Sudanese Irish community activist and John 'Willy' Williams a military veteran, 7 Signal Regiment survivor and scrum master (which apparently has nothing to do with rugby). They discuss why they listen to the podcast, their favourite episodes with a focus on curiosity, the pain of not belonging, and how somehow Bobby and Bridge have become role models (yes seriously!) despite their tendency to be a bit sweary. It's a really honest, vulnerable and heartfelt episode so come and join for some real chat.
