Who gets to take the family toothpaste on holiday?
If you’re going away by yourself, do you take the family toothpaste or do you buy a spare toothpaste and leave the family toothpaste at home? Steph and Laura have been doing a lot of traveling recently and this week we find out who buys a spare and who takes the family toothpaste (leaving their partner without).
Plus we always suggest calling 1800 RESPECT if you or someone you know is experiencing violence…but what actually happens when you call? Who do you talk to, what will they ask, is it recorded, and do the police get involved? To answer these questions we speak to a spokesperson from the helpline to find out who’s on the other end of a call.
1800RESPECT can be contacted by call, text, online chat or video call. Call 1800 737 732, text 0458 737 732, online chat 24/7 or video call Monday to Friday 9am-5pm AEST (except national public holidays) – no appointment needed.
Then we hear from you about the dorky things you did when you were younger. If you also kissed yourself in the mirror and made song lyrics your Facebook status…well same.

Kic UPDATE
Feeling mid? Move from meh to (a bit more) motivated with up to 40% off Kic! Everyone we talk to is feeling pretty meh right not, so we thought we’d lean into this for our mid year challenge. It’s not about going hard, it’s about taking small, sustainable steps to feel a little less ‘mid’. You can choose from Pilates or strength, and then we have two levels - mid or motivated. The challenge starts on June 24th and the sale ends on June 30th.

Confidence, limiting beliefs & the stories we tell ourselves - Ashani Dante & Fi Sanford from The Flourish Journey
Ashani Dante and Fi Sanford are the Founder and CEO of The Flourish Journey, an organisation committed to supporting teenage girls to become empowered, resilient and connected adults. They help young girls to cultivate their own self-awareness and self-confidence, but this doesn’t mean that Ashani & Fi feel confident at all times.
In this episode Ashani & Fi share their own self-confidence journeys and how self-doubt can still creep in to their lives. They discuss what self-confidence looks and feels like, tools to cultivate your own self-confidence, self-confidence at different life stages, and why women have resilience built in. Plus Steph & Laura share their own experiences with confidence and questioning themselves.

Steph’s therapy update
Steph’s been seeing a therapist for the past few months and in today’s episode she shares how it’s been going, what she’s learned from it, and she and Laura reflect on how valuable it’s been for both of them to speak to someone unbiased who you can be totally truthful with.
Then Laura reflects on completing the Kic Run 10 - 21km program and completing her first half marathon in a few years, including overcoming injury, showing up for every rehab session, and fuelling her workouts, rather than using running to lose weight.
Plus Laura’s dryer saga continues!

Our thoughts on Sydney vs Melbourne Fashion Week
Sydney Fashion Week was a few weeks ago and it raised important conversations about who gets invited, who gets photographed, and how the event leaves people feeling afterwards, so this week we reflect on our own experiences of attending Melbourne and Sydney Fashion Weeks both as guests and walking in shows.
Then we take a trip down memory lane to reflect on some of the dorky and rebellious things we did when were teenagers, like wearing rainbow toe socks but ONLY on Thursdays (Steph) and creating a shrine of empty Vodka Cruiser bottles (Laura).

"My partner wants kids and I don’t. Should we break up?" - with Laura Henshaw
The decision to have children is a personal one but if you’re in a relationship, the decision is one that you can’t make on your own. So what do you do if you find yourself in a situation where your partner wants kids but you’re not ready…or you want kids and your partner isn’t ready?
Or what if you want children…but you don’t have anyone to have them with?
In this episode Laura speaks with a KICPOD community member Madi who asked, “what if all the good partners are taken?”
Then Laura sits down with relationship coach Megan Luscombe to find out how she helps couples work through this decision. What happens in a relationship when one partner doesn’t want children and has them? Or when one partner does want children and doesn’t have them? Do couples with different desires have to break up? How do you distinguish your wants from your partners’ within a long term relationship? And if you are single and dating with the intention of finding a relationship…how soon do you bring it up?
Then you share your thoughts on the topic ❤️
