* Trigger warning - this episode mentions abuse. For support, contact 1800RESPECT * Mitch Larsson found himself living a pretty common lifestyle as a married father and lawyer, but a snap decision one day in his 40s changed his life forever. He became a male escort. In today's episode, we hear about what brought him to this snap decision, what the response was like from his wife, family and friends, and what he has told his 8 year old son. We also delve into another side of this particular line of work that is often overlooked - that it is very often more than just sex. Mitch explains that some who seek the services of an escort are also seeking companionship or the desire to rebuild their confidence. He shares his experience with some of these clients and what it has meant for both the client and himself. Mitch is now an author and tells his story in his book ‘Time For Her’.   FOLLOW US: KICPOD: @kicpod on Instagram Kic: @kic.app on Instagram, @kic on TikTok and kicapp.com Steph Claire Smith: @stephclairesmith on Instagram, @steph_claire_smith on TikTok Laura Henshaw: @laura.henshaw on Instagram & Tiktok Producer Mandy: @amanda.catalano on Instagram & TiktokSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In Steph & Laura's catch up today, they discuss a recent TikTok trend that sparks the topic of how heavy the mental load is for many women. We hear some stats on how many hours of extra work per week women gain on average when in a heterosexual relationship in comparison to men, and the data is quite shocking. Also in today's episode, we take a trip down memory lane to some of the hilarious and innocent things written in our old school yearbooks.   SPECIAL SHARES: Steph – The Inspired Unemployed Impractical Jokers, TV series on Channel 10 and Paramount + Laura – Thank God You’re Here, TV series on Channel 10   Kic UPDATE: We have just launched our Pilates program which is now available in the Kic app!

You’ve either heard Woody Whitelaw on his national drive radio show ‘Will & Woody’, or perhaps you’ve seen him on TV on The Celebrity Apprentice Australia or I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here! What makes Woody so unique is that he manages to be hilarious and witty (eg asking Steph about her bowel movements and suggesting to coach her while she’s on the loo), all while showing an incredibly vulnerable side, being extremely open and generous about his experiences with mental health, his relationships and work life. His other half, Will, was on the podcast not too long ago where he was also very open about his mental health and coping with depression (you can listen to that ep here), and in today’s episode Woody speaks about how they navigate their friendship, how to be a lifeboat for those you love but also lean on them in times of need, and why having difficult conversations can be the best thing you can do. Among this chat, Steph and Laura share a recent hard conversation between the two of them that their husbands Josh and Dalton suggested they have.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We bloody love a bit of TMI, and in Steph & Laura's catch up today, Steph gives us just that. Her gut is in fact.. crook, so she explains what's going on and why Josh is having to block his nose at the end of the day when she gets home 🤣 We also hear the story of how Laura met her husband Dalton, and cannot believe what happened after only 12 months of them dating! Let us know on our socials @kicpod if you think it's totally fine or maybe a little too soon! Plus, we open our KICMAIL box and hear a fantastic prank that Laura might use on Dalton, seeing as she loves to prank him so much.   SPECIAL SHARES: Steph – Chicken Shop Date, Instagram page Laura – Miss You Already, film on Amazon Prime Video   Kic UPDATE: Something for the Pilates people - we're launching an exciting new program soon!
