    We asked an expert to explain PMS - with Hannah Dower

    Hannah Dower is a PhD student working with the Western Bulldogs AFLW club to investigate the impact of the menstrual cycle and contraceptive use on elite athlete performance. Hannah has a Bachelor in Sports Science, a Masters in Exercise Physiology and a 10-year career in strength and conditioning so she is EXTREMELY qualified to answer all our menstrual cycle and PMS questions! You might remember an episode from a few months ago where we shared about our experiences of PMS. We received so many messages from you guys saying you felt exactly the same so we decided to bring in an expert to explain everything about the menstrual cycle and PMS. We speak about what the menstrual cycle actually is, what is happening with our hormones at various stages of our cycle, the importance of tracking your cycle, the difference between PMS and PMDD, and if we should train differently at different stages of our cycles.  WE MENTIONED Hannah recommended the book ‘Blood: The science, medicine and mythology of menstruation by Dr Jennifer Gunter https://www.hachette.com.au/dr-jennifer-gunter/blood-the-science-medicine-and-mythology-of-menstruation  The episode in which we talked about our own PMS symptoms is called ‘Steph's one and only one night stand’ from July 2024.

    How should I feel if my partner doesn’t orgasm?

    We’ve seen some TikTok trends we’re not sure about and we want to talk about them. The first is the “morning trend” - where people sleep in a range of convoluted and questionable products on their face and in their hair only to “shed” it all in the morning. The second is “okra water” and its dubious health claims. Then we discuss a question we saw in Women’s Health Australia: “should I be offended if my partner doesn’t orgasm”?  Plus we put a poll on our Instagram story asking about the orgasm gap in your relationships and 5% of you said you orgasmed more, 38% of you said your partner orgasms more, 30% orgasm equally with your partner, and 27% just wanted to suss the results 👀 WE MENTIONED The okra water trend https://www.bodyandsoul.com.au/nutrition/healthy-food/okra-water/news-story/efb6382a91571792f5d295b31b6dabcc  The Women’s Health article https://womenshealth.com.au/my-partner-isnt-orgasming-should-i-be-offended/?

    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.

    How Producer Mandy overcame her fear of having kids - KICBUMP

    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  FOLLOW US Mandy @amanda.catalano on InstagramKICPOD @kicpod on InstagramSteph Claire Smith @stephclairesmith on Instagram, @steph_claire_smith on TikTokJoin our virtual mothers' group in the the KICBUMP Facebook group.

    What’s wrong with men calling themselves “good blokes” with Tarang Chawla

    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 The ‘Stand Up Against Street Harassment’ training https://www.standup-international.com/au/en/training/landing  The first time Tarang was on the podcast in ‘The Raw Reality of Domestic Abuse and Family Violence’ https://pod.fo/e/238cc6  The second time Tarang was on the podcast ‘A topic too many people avoid’ from December 2022 https://pod.fo/e/224092 FOLLOW US Tarang @tarangchawla on InstagramKICPOD @kicpod on InstagramJoin our closed KICPOD Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/630561419185145/Steph Claire Smith @stephclairesmith on Instagram & @steph_claire_smith on TikTokLaura Henshaw @laura.henshaw on Instagram & @laura.henshaw on TiktokKic @kic.app on Instagram & @kic on TikTok and kicapp.com or download the app from the App Store and Google Play Store See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
