More Than a Lumpy Jumper

About More Than a Lumpy Jumper

An affectionate, pre-politically correct term to describe a female soldier. Derived from the wondrous vision of voluptuous thrusting funbags, tightly encased in an issue woolly pully, bouncing across the parade square. WTAF!! Meet Bobby and Bridge who have something to say about this perception of women in the Military and much, much more. These two irreverent, life energised women have known each other for over 30 years and have LOTS to say about their experiences of life, leadership and being led. Come and join their conversations on "Being". Laugh, learn and realise you aren't alone.

   Being Wheely Splat Shaped

   Most of us think change means ripping everything up and “reinventing” ourselves. But what if life is less about reinvention… and more about quiet reorganisation? In this final episode of our Wheel of Life season, Bobby and Bridge turn the conversation back on themselves. After ten episodes with brilliant guexperts (Bridge is still not convinced) on health, joy, money, spirituality, community, purpose, love and relationships, they sit with the question: -          What has actually shifted in our own lives? -          Which parts of the wheel really matter right now? -          And what happens when we stop chasing 10/10 in every segment? This isn’t a neat summary of the season. It’s two friends telling the truth about transition, ageing, vocation, burnout, blue-and-green places, asking for help (reluctantly), and the tiny practices that make everything else more possible. If you’ve ever filled in a Wheel of Life and thought, “Now what?”, this episode is your invitation to look again … more gently, more honestly, and with a lot more self-compassion. Bring a cuppa, bring your splat of a wheel, and maybe discover you’re less “out of balance” than you think.

   Being in Relationship

   Relationships shape us. The ones we’re born into, the ones we choose, and the one we keep trying to build with ourselves. In this episode of More Than a Lumpy Jumper, Bobby and Bridge are joined by Lizzie Beuzeval to explore the Family and Friends segment of the Wheel of Life and what it really means to be in relationship. This isn’t a conversation about perfect balance. It’s about the beautiful mess of family life, love, communication, exhaustion, laughter, and the art of saying sorry (or sometimes just making a cup of tea). From spreadsheets to ski slopes, burnout to belly laughs, Lizzie reminds us that being in relationship isn’t about holding it all together, it’s about staying connected, even when it allcomes apart. “There’s time for everything that matters, if we’re honest about what matters.” Linkshttps://www.linkedin.com/in/lizzie-beuzeval (https://www.linkedin.com/in/lizzie-beuzeval) Meditations for Mortals | Oliver Burkeman | Books (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Meditations-Mortals-instant-Sunday-bestseller/dp/1529939534/ref=sr_1_1?adgrpid=1172081155703792&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.rm8Oenh-Fes-cXeAYGjt_7YP2DFqP3E3ZnI9qSYV12N_AjFyAkgaLjgszvuHIiSuBxRBgWSdw-VX8vyLbVf0qAecACciVWQ5bqB4FC_WamKVimNwzIBbaPW8OKPgntv0dvUImb73C3QT12M50m7qAG2q3fWEcF0VDkBN-5iAhD4hdjEtKkQQkTAaejWqvFdrSLarfpNd7lSOovPERNbk1j1vLuio1KAGuzCIusMuCPc.o_SQWJfH2Zcsn2LmsF9I68Nvz4GnxNHwSj9dBmW4gSQ&dib_tag=se&hvadid=73255296787732&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=69115&hvnetw=o&hvqmt=e&hvtargid=kwd-73255363733379%3Aloc-188&hydadcr=11889_2520533&keywords=meditation+for+mortals&mcid=62374fe5a8c33cb4b561c957b724bb84&qid=1761460610&sr=8-1) I Know How She Does It | Laura Vanderkam | Books (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Know-How-She-Does-Successful/dp/0241199514/ref=sr_1_1?adgrpid=1179776875882183&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.vPfxrOAJe6KnMg5mFx_Knqqf5cY6WHvb8xvIrsoc_pkuyb635qEYkKubDQe8RDWuuWkoK2uVHImOhHw7hY2vWsN2GOKBgBV-ccaxlsUSGBv_xftCg_7w4cwjdVKaRKu_lONYgat3gVhBCOitsejqaVjM8IQpOpcxPxVer0FzmEr_lPrx31jnY7aZA7Y2d4g2ZGMEINh4AfoLVTQTOta4MlOHiHTDeR3QcpyzwLLVjRc.gvcqHQTFQ5IYfdSpaxtRMdIUWUuU8R_xPryJ1HI7X30&dib_tag=se&hvadid=73736256855305&hvbmt=bp&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=69115&hvnetw=o&hvqmt=p&hvtargid=kwd-73736193273401%3Aloc-188&hydadcr=18489_2211418&keywords=i+know+how+she+does+it&mcid=cef71da6344f34d0acbcc80b9ec0e3a7&msclkid=57499e12124d14b7f26ef6efd3ace688&qid=1761460707&sr=8-1)

   Being Open

   Love. It’s the segment of the Wheel of Life that many of us avoid until last because it asks the most of us. In this episode, we’re joined by Jocelyn Penque Saunders: global citizen, wine lover, former serial dater… and now the self-declared (and fully earned) Cupid in Chief, founder of The Dating Classroom. But this conversation isn’t just about romance. It’s about the kind of love that begins long before a relationship: Love as self-knowledge. Love as connection. Love as leadership. Jocelyn brings sharp behavioural insight, gentle challenge, and a refreshingly practical take on how we show up for love, whether we’re dating, partnered, leading teams, or learning how to trust ourselves again. Together, we explore non-negotiables, readiness, patterns, openness, and the art of doing you in any relationship you’re part of. If you’ve ever questioned what you want, how you love, or who you are becoming… this one is for you. Listen now to Being Open — because love isn’t a finish line, it’s a practice. https://www.linkedin.com/in/jocelyn-penque-saunders (https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Fin%2Fjocelyn-penque-saunders&data=05%7C02%7C%7C952a93634b644d14c1ce08de2d905af0%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638998295178445710%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=YF3KfZgfN99tIs2PxCKoqYUszyZzHze0ZFY%2Fmq9FJSQ%3D&reserved=0) Dating Breakthrough (https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.datingclassroom.com%2Fdatingbreakthrough&data=05%7C02%7C%7C952a93634b644d14c1ce08de2d905af0%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638998295178461391%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=TEi6RLFts3lJ%2FvNlG3WJL1bs0jk%2F63ZzwLmzCI8HxvI%3D&reserved=0) All About Love: Bell Hooks (https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.co.uk%2FAll-About-Love-Visions-Paperback%2Fdp%2F0060959479%2Fref%3Dsr_1_1%3Fadgrpid%3D1176478340194644%26dib%3DeyJ2IjoiMSJ9.vKnD9vWIgyn9EVEeOR9QP4iIvfS3o7g1vCXtB0MSHkJ3S3rzT_wgd8eNzUKW-5Ah0tyEzXciVQm_LtEjuIXJH5L8Nl4L-Vb1SfhAnwJJQ2lMs9qsmdfWr6wo_NWULuijo55zHs5E7Rhc98IJ_AolPPjyBXgmmBneYi44A78x2N8rF8ZtqxhxtkeQldE9Ihw7yNJmOQk9Blq0Dlt7SQPKBf29DwiASrjpfBR-SKs2j4I.k9X0wjG9OsfCVJwR2qV1g9YVG9V4VmD6MU6g-nUlQTg%26dib_tag%3Dse%26hvadid%3D73530099352125%26hvbmt%3Dbe%26hvdev%3Dc%26hvlocphy%3D69115%26hvnetw%3Do%26hvqmt%3De%26hvtargid%3Dkwd-73530031275902%253Aloc-188%26hydadcr%3D10807_2102392%26keywords%3Dbell%2Bhooks%2Ball%2Babout%2Blove%26mcid%3Da064d7e905e63f2aa39539dfe9e5b39a%26msclkid%3Db3dda077a81712381550c95fa49e8598%26qid%3D1764232335%26sr%3D8-1&data=05%7C02%7C%7C952a93634b644d14c1ce08de2d905af0%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638998295178469786%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=kVPbOmHleGfrhRSJaMH4hZTc3ciknoHPQZ3Mt7vHjSQ%3D&reserved=0) How to Not Die Alone: Logan Ury (https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.co.uk%2FHow-Not-Die-Alone-Surprising%2Fdp%2F0349442150%2Fref%3Dsr_1_1%3Fcrid%3D1V9V9XI3JEEUN%26dib%3DeyJ2IjoiMSJ9.NiBQQt6tzcPEel7AU0_ks4ZKUGlH92UsLSbgfJ0txD-jg7hYmQiaVQmeavXvKfQ4Oua28rOoD6ZMmy6gJIF0est2mD_DQoJ6yB8nFaxDkkRwSV0LCixyQj5fpkownayU7nwdb0SOpysv_gPKEVPFFo74LG74od3OU_gz19FpNhOYxyLXJk0YAsqR_kV5pZus8YTm88Spra_3gP-2c_so6Skfe9kvz3OJVciVJvOkr7Y.BtJHCyCPwYYCwJ7_S6PJ7GWeInIjI095Sk7BswefUwo%26dib_tag%3Dse%26keywords%3Dhow%2Bnot%2Bto%2Bdie%2Balone%26qid%3D1764232417%26sprefix%3Dhow%2Bnot%2Bto%2Bdie%2Balone%252Caps%252C94%26sr%3D8-1&data=05%7C02%7C%7C952a93634b644d14c1ce08de2d905af0%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638998295178477192%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=077u3lrRub9TTt90DVZtMoC%2BPtmKNSLNn%2B1thG1BATo%3D&reserved=0) Attached: Amir Levine & Rachel Heller (https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.co.uk%2FAttached-Anxious-Avoidant-science-attachment%2Fdp%2F1529032172%2Fref%3Dpd_bxgy_thbs_d_sccl_1%2F261-7353353-3998809%3Fpd_rd_w%3DQniak%26content-id%3Damzn1.sym.ec630614-3f9e-4b7f-ba9a-fe89f8e4113f%26pf_rd_p%3Dec630614-3f9e-4b7f-ba9a-fe89f8e4113f%26pf_rd_r%3D555A3Y1MKFJYGWFF9NZT%26pd_rd_wg%3DmG26W%26pd_rd_r%3Df53c1f04-a291-4c07-abfc-d0e463b6ba03%26pd_rd_i%3D1529032172%26psc%3D1&data=05%7C02%7C%7C952a93634b644d14c1ce08de2d905af0%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638998295178484382%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=i66yyFWoMSU8ubbtBryATVcKRat9pkwSYqaVkNaUUBs%3D&reserved=0) Tiny Beautiful Things: Cheryl Strayed (https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.co.uk%2FTiny-Beautiful-Things-Reese-Witherspoon%2Fdp%2F1838959076%2Fref%3Dsr_1_1%3Fcrid%3D76HVNTHGGIXF%26dib%3DeyJ2IjoiMSJ9.xUli4FLQvmbfYcwvkL1HPk3Anp_NjujAhZ8bwSa903Mbofbd2ESPH3lBWMCZr6jAi-fp8zpxzofxApzRN9dZoz11sfYG1MbIc2ENEm4FiFHV8P9k4S7lG37IRwl1om_1Ey31qzs_H9rMdwtoIL_BoW_38stBAJ49w4QLEGRPAcrkqEeonkcOY-D4RDK6dufnEzyaIXa_idN9yPh7Pz_lJ0523EiHXoqDmgANBvc5H1M.g8WkXHlF-KR5nCRF5iFzs6hV0evTzxTdRBlRhV1t-7U%26dib_tag%3Dse%26keywords%3Dtiny%2Bbeautiful%2Bthings%2Bcheryl%2Bstrayed%26qid%3D1764232548%26s%3Dbooks%26sprefix%3Dcheryl%2Bstrayed%2Btiny%2Bbea%252Cstripbooks%252C79%26sr%3D1-1&data=05%7C02%7C%7C952a93634b644d14c1ce08de2d905af0%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638998295178491419%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=adlqelT8uf9HbMdxGIjT95IzatLWMe6Nu6zU%2Fir046k%3D&reserved=0)
