  • A week ago Laura ran debut marathon in New York City and in this episode Steph asks Laura (fresh off the plane!!) all the questions you guys have been asking.

    Will you do another marathon? What got you through when it got hard? How did you handle going to the toilet on the course? How are your toenails? And what's next!?

    We'll be back in your ears on Monday <3

  • Dr Golly is a paediatrician (he’s actually Harvey's paediatrician!) specialising in unsettled babies & poor sleep, and a father of three. His third children’s book ‘Our Baby, Our Baby What Did You Say?’ reveals what toddlers can pick up in babies better than parents....which is a very convenient topic at the moment as Steph & Josh navigate how they tell their three-year-old Harvey that he’s getting a sibling!

    In this episode Steph, Josh & Dr Golly discuss the best way for parents to tell toddlers that they are having another baby, what kind of behaviour parents can expect of their toddlers during this time, dividing responsibilities between a newborn and a toddler, and the importance of toddlers retaining their sense of autonomy.

  • If you’re a long-term listener of KICPOD you’ll remember Producer Mandy! You might also remember that Mandy was producing the podcast when Laura opened up about her fear of not coping with kids, and Mandy said she felt exactly the same. Fast forward just over one year later and Mandy is now the proud mum of her first daughter, Lyla.

    In this episode we asked Mandy back in the studio to sit on the other side of the desk and share about how she went from being terrified of having kids to being so stoked to be a mum. We also touch on Mandy’s decision to have a planned cesarean and the judgment she anticipated and copped from the decision, her journey to becoming a mum, and her advice to anyone who is feeling overwhelmed by the decision.

    WE MENTIONED

    Mandy speaks in this episode about going to therapy to unpack her fears. It’s called ‘Laura expresses her fear of not coping’ and you can listen here https://pod.fo/e/224085

  • Tarang Chawla became an activist against men’s violence after his sister Nikita Chawla was murdered by her partner in 2015.

    We’ve been talking about violence against women a lot on the podcast this year (and every year) because unfortunately it’s an issue that’s not going away. In this episode we invite Tarang onto the podcast for the third time to talk about men’s violence, the impact of alcohol and gambling on violence, and what you can do as a bystander to safely stand up to street harassment.

    Plus Laura shares about her experience witnessing and standing up to a group of drunk and aggressive young men at the AFL Grand Final and what Tarang would’ve done in the same situation.

    WE MENTIONED

  • After a six year hiatus, the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show returned this year. The show was choreographed by an all-female team and featured greater cultural, age and body diversity than ever before, but the show still fell short in many ways. We have our say.

    Plus Laura lost a diamond in her wedding ring which made us wonder if any of you guys had ring horror stories…and you did!

  • Dr Kavita Krishnan is a Lactation Specialist, member of the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine, and a mum of three, so she’s had experience both first-hand and in practice teaching thousands of women how to breastfeed.

    96% of women initiate breastfeeding but by 4 months fewer than 16% exclusively breastfeed and 83% of women stop breastfeeding earlier than they’d like. In this episode, Steph sits down with Kavita to discuss some of the reasons why women stop breastfeeding.

    Steph shares about her own experience breastfeeding Harvey, including nipple pain, low supply, and the early stages of mastitis and Kavita demonstrates the best position for a baby to latch with the help of a glass of water and a straw.

  • Froomes (aka Lucinda Price) is a writer, comedian, broadcaster and author of ‘All I Ever Wanted Was To Be Hot’. Her book is a memoir-meets-manifesto about her experience with anorexia and binge eating disorder as well as exploring the pressures on young women to look a certain way.

    In this special conversation we sit down with Lucinda to find out why she got a nose job and breast augmentation, and how she feels differently about each surgery, how moving from Melbourne to Sydney and working in media pushed her to change her body, the moment she knew her “healthy eating” had gone too far, and how she has reached a place of total recovery.

    TRIGGER: We talk about eating disorders, weight loss, and disordered eating in this episode. If you need support, or want support to help someone you know, you can contact The Butterfly Foundation on 1800 ED HOPE or 1800 33 4673.

  • If you’re an Australian millennial woman, you know Tammin Sursok. She played Dani Sutherland in Home & Away in the early 2000’s and Jenna Marshall in Pretty Little Liars. Tammin has been in the public eye since she was a teenager. Faced with that pressure, Tammin struggled with eating disorders throughout her teen years and early 20’s.

    Now Tammin has two daughters. Her experience with eating disorders informs the way she speaks to them about food and their bodies in the hope that they will never go through what she did.

    In this episode Steph sits down with Tammin to learn about how eating disorders took over Tammin’s life, becoming a mum and adjusting to her postpartum body, and how she responds when one of her daughters calls herself fat.

    Trigger: in this episode we discuss eating disorders. If you or someone you know needs support, you can contact the Butterfly Foundation 7 days from 8am - midnight AEST on 1800 33 4673.

She shares about how her anxiety has been post-panic attack and what partners, friends and family members can do to support someone going through a panic attack.

    Then we discuss the issue of men’s drunk & aggressive behaviour at the football. Laura attended the AFL grand final a few weeks ago and was shocked at the behaviour and level of drinking from the group of young men sitting in front of her.

  • Allira Potter was never the sporty kid growing up. Like many of us, her memories of running at school were discouraging at best. But earlier this year, when she felt her mental health declining, Allira knew she needed to make a change, so she pulled on their runners and started her running journey. Allira’s first run sucked. But she stuck with it and it's changed her life.

    In this episode Allira shares how her running journey started, her goals starting out versus now, the impact of training with her partner, how she feels about sharing her runs on social media, not comparing herself to others, and learning that she can walk and still be a runner.

    Plus we start with an oracle card reading from Allira and learn more about her journey to spirituality.

  • Alexis is the host of the Do You F*ing Mind podcast, she has a Masters of Neuroscience, and you guys love her!

    Seriously, in a recent audience survey we asked you which guests you loved and OVERWHELMINGLY you guys said Alexis, so we brought her back on the podcast to talk about purpose and turning desperation into attraction to get what you want.

    In the first part of the episode we talk about purpose: what is it, how to find it, how it should feel in your body when you experience it, and how to find a purpose that serves you but also includes others.

    Then in the second half of the episode we talk about one of Alexis’ most popular podcast episodes ‘Turning Desperation Into Attraction’ and Alexis explains how wanting something too much could be the thing that’s pushing it away.

  • Jadé was our first ever guest on the KICPOD! Now she’s back five years later, and this time on KICBUMP, after she and her partner Lachie welcomed baby Fletcher into the world in June.

    In this episode Jadé shares about her birth story, including going into spontaneous labour, using a TENS machine, and getting an epidural, the early stages of postpartum, how she’s dealing with work, separating herself across two different Instagram accounts, and why men should read their female partners’ sexy books.

    Hear Jadé’s full birth story in her podcast Mad About You https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/fletchers-birth-story/id1744842826?i=1000663942536

  • It’s a very revealing episode this week! The Body & Soul Sex Census is out and it revealed some very interesting statistics…and we share ours...like the number of times women orgasm in heterosexual sex compared to men, our favourite positions, and our fantasies. Plus Laura read an article in The Good Weekend which revealed that Gen-Z are saying no to sex altogether because they’d rather have no sex than bad sex.

    PLUS we shared our own plumbing disaster stories last week and this week we hear from you. If you’ve ever had a toilet visit not go to plan...you’re not alone!
