This week, hilarity ensues as one host recounts her laugh-out-loud experience with a new vibrator during an intimate moment. They also celebrate an exhilarating NYC Marathon, sharing triumphs and struggles from the race. Conversations also touch on the importance of support in navigating ADHD and exploring personal intimacy with humor. Additionally, nostalgic reflections on the emotional impact of 'I Am Sam' and fun discussions about a new TV show with a mysterious twist keep the vibe engaging!

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 StoreSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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!

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.

This week Laura shares about her recent trip to a health retreat in Queensland and how it ended with the most intense panic attack of her life when she returned home to Melbourne. 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.  FOLLOW US Allira @allira.potter 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 StoreSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
