    Friendship breakups + what we wish for each other

    This week we read an article from The Cut called ‘Why Are Friendship Breakups So Brutal’ and we want to talk about it. We share our perspectives on friendship breakups, why they hurt more than romantic breakups, and ghosting friends vs trying to work on the friendship. And then we answer a question from you guys about our own friendship! You asked: “what is one thing you would wish for the other person?” We love getting questions from you guys! Every now and then we’ll put a question box on our Instagram story but you can slide into our DMs anytime.

    A revealing conversation about our sex lives

    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!

    What Harry Garside learned from failure

    What if the worst case scenario happened? What if you set a goal, threw everything at it, told the world for years that you were going to achieve it…and then you didn’t? Australian boxer, Harry Garside, spent years telling the world (and himself) that he would win a gold medal at the Paris Olympics. He came home without the gold medal, but in the 20 years he spent trying to achieve his goal, he became friends with himself, which to Harry is more valuable than any medal. Trigger: this episode mentions suicide & suicidal ideation. If you, or someone you know is struggling, Lifeline is available 24 hours a day on 13 11 14. In this episode Harry sits down with Steph & Laura to debrief how he is feeling post-Olympics, the importance of feeling the failure, his purpose, what his next goal is, and what he is learning from putting himself through an uncomfortable challenge every month for the past five years. FIND OUT MORE Read Harry’s book ‘The Good Fight’ https://www.simonandschuster.com.au/books/The-Good-Fight/Harry-Garside/9781761425547  We had Harry on the podcast in 2023.

    This week we call on relationship coach and friend of the KICPOD, Megan Luscombe, to help answer one of your questions: “I looked through my partner’s phone and saw intimate photos of him and his ex. What should I do?” Megan unpacks the nuances of looking through a partner’s phone and offers advice for anyone who’s snooped and found something they didn’t want to see.

    What to do before, during & after your kid’s meltdown - KICBUMP with developmental paediatrician Dr Billy Garvey

    Dr Billy Garvey is a developmental paediatrician and a senior specialist at one of Australia’s largest tertiary paediatric hospitals. He has over 20 years experience working with families and children, and training other professionals on how to work with children, plus he’s the dad of two little ones, so he's able to see first-hand how his research and advice plays out in real life. Billy’s book ‘Ten Things I Wish You Knew About Your Child’s Mental Health’ takes the lessons Billy has learned from two decades working with families and children, including behaviour, social skills, attachment, respect, depression, anxiety and self-esteem. In this episode Steph speaks with Billy about the biggest misconceptions people have about children’s behaviour and mental health, what to do before, during, and after a child erupts, why parents shouldn’t tell children “it’s okay” when they’re having a meltdown, emotional regulation and how parents can model it for their children, the warning signs for anxiety and depression in children, and why parents looking after their own mental health should be their number one priority.
