Description

This week on Beyond the Bump, we’re chatting all things FIFO life with mum of two, Ellie Hinkley. If your partner works away, or you’ve ever wondered how families make FIFO (fly-in fly-out) work — this episode is for you!


Ellie opens up about the realities behind the roster: the solo parenting stretches, the emotional ups and downs of goodbyes and homecomings, and the small things that help her family stay connected when her partner’s away. She also shares the unexpected positives, the independence, the community building and the appreciation that comes with time apart.


As always, we hope you enjoy! 💛
