The Feeding CouchMel - Many off putting messages, yet breastfeeding and bed sharing for 18 months as she trusted herself deeplyI’m joined today by Mel, who takes us through how she navigated early struggles when her milk took almost a week to come in, and the overwhelming pressure from professionals to supplement with formula. A lactation consultant even told her she might never be able to breastfeed at all as her boobs were too small– so how did these seeds of doubt impact Mel’s feeding experience?With family doubting her supply, she stood firm, trusting her body and her baby. Bed-sharing from day one became a lifeline, despite the judgment, as she woke every two hours—...2025-02-1258 min
Tales from the Valley PodcastTFTV ft. Hollie Betts (Narooma Run Club)
Sam, Mitch, and Katie chat with Holli Betts, the founder of the Narooma Run Club. Despite being relatively new to running, Holli has made remarkable progress. Inspired by Mel Jefferis, she started running regularly and has already completed two half marathons, improving her personal bests (PBs) for the 5k and 10k, including a fresh PB at Wagga Wagga Parkrun last week.
The Narooma Run Club began with just seven women meeting on Sundays to run at Bar Beach, Narooma. However, as interest grew, it quickly outgrew a simple group chat. Holli started promoting the weekly runs on s...2025-01-281h 18

Mel & Jill Geek OutVanderpump Rules Season 11, Reunion Part 2: Galloping So Far AheadWhat better way to start the episode than a huge congratulations to Katie and Ariana on the grand opening of Something About Her and a good gossip sesh?!
Part 2 of the reunion covers a lot of ground from the season. The cast examines their friendships, boundaries, and relationships with each other. We learn more about Jo and what the cast really thinks about her and Schwartz’s relationship. Ally & James get a good chunk of the episode, which really highlights their strength as a couple, but also his growth as a person. Who would have tho...2024-05-231h 27

The gang is still in San Francisco and the whisky launch party is just around the corner, but first… Dan’s interrogation with the cast, minus Sandoval. We have another awkward encounter with ‘Joseph’ and ‘T-Money’ aka the most awkward non-couple to ever exist. (Jill gets second-hand cringe its so bad.) James & Ally have the sweetest moment discussing their relationship and the besties reflect on just how much James has really grown. Several fights ensue i...2024-05-091h 29
Sexy Unique PodcastPumpheads Ep. 45 - Fishnets Or Bust (Vanderpump Rules S11E13)Lara and Carey discuss Stassi's upcoming book/manifesto, and ponder if one can't in fact have it all. They also talk a TENTATIVE opening for Something About Her, and their potential debut at the long awaited sandwich dream emporium. Then on VPR, the crew gets another dose of Jason "Jax Taylor" Cauchi, and the tried and true chaos that swirls around him. Jax and James plan a brunch at SUR, where Jax will face off with Lisa for the first time trashing her on a podcast. Scheana and Brock try to put their differences aside to enjoy their anniversary...2024-04-251h 31Mel & Jill Geek OutVanderpump Rules Season 11, Episode 13 - Ex Sur EmployeeThe besties have a mini digress where they begin with being millennial tired, awaiting new books, sad dog stories (including Homeward Bound & Incredible Journey), to tropes.
This episode was a weird mish-mash of mature relationships and confrontations ending in an epic fight. James and Ally try to find Hippie a dog-sitter James is comfortable with so he can go with Ally to her best friend’s wedding. So far, no one is good enough for James. We see an interesting dynamic between Katie & Schwartz begin to develop. He’s clearly not over her. The real stars...2024-04-251h 06Mel & Jill Geek OutVanderpump Rules, Season 11, Episode 12: Spoiled Plans and Baby DaddiesThe besties start off the episode excited for the new Taylor Swift album release! Needless to say, the besties have the album pre-saved on Spotify.
This episode of VPR honestly felt like yet another filler episode. The truth comes out about the Tom/Ariana house situation (spoiler alert - Ariana was right). Lala picks her sperm donor, and Sandoval asks Schwartz to be his roommate, which he promptly declines. The Katie/Lala fight might have found a resolution, and James tells Tom off in a great way but then decides to be a bigger person. Ja...2024-04-1958 minMel & Jill Geek OutVanderpump Rules, Season 11, Episode 10: She’s Not There YetThe Besties kick off the episode covering some of the recent news about the cast of VPR and The Valley (looking at you Jax).
Needless to say, this was a major filler episode. Essentially, Ariana and Sandoval fought, and everyone else stood back and watched, awkwardly. Oh, and poor Ann got fired. Or did she? At least Katie and Ariana are there with a good job to help a girl out.
Shout out to Lisa and James's mom for being as into all the tea as the rest of us are.
2024-04-0457 minMel & Jill Geek OutVanderpump Rules, Season 11, Episode 5: Rolodex of ApologiesThe besties gush about craft beers and the F1 Season. James, Ally, Graham & Mr. Banks meet for the first time and then the group heads to Tahoe. Lisa tries to get the group to engage in awkward group therapy conversations while Sandoval, STILL, continues to deny accountability. Katie & Aria are running into permit issues with Something About Her. Sandoval
& James have a tough and still unresolved conversation while in Tahoe.
