KICPOD

Happy holidays!

While we're taking a break, we wanted to share conversations we've had on other podcasts.

This week it's one we recorded earlier in the year in the UK: Wednesdays with Sophie Habboo and Melissa Tattam where we chat body image, self-worth, the modelling industry and more ❤️

While we're on holidays we wanted to share some conversations we've had on other podcasts that you mightn't have heard before.

This week it's The Imperfects with Hugh van Cuylenberg, Josh van Cuylenberg & Ryan Shelton.

You might've heard us recommend The Imperfects once or twice or a hundred times before on KICPOD because we love it and we think you'll love it too.

New hair…new Steph? Steph cut her hair into a bob and the results have been…surprising.

This week we also react to your unpopular Christmas opinions. Is Home Alone a Christmas movie? When is it too soon to pack up your tree? And does anyone actually like fruit mince pies?

And we reflect on our highlights, challenges and surprises of the past year.

This is our last catch up episode of the year. We’ll be back in your ears in early January ❤

Ins & outs are OUT. Instead we’re focussing on the small things that we can do to make a big difference in 2024. We asked you what you want to bring into 2024 and we were overwhelmed by your responses, so if you’re looking for some new year inspo, get your pen and paper ready.

We also chat about the pressure to go overboard at Christmas time and share about how less can be more when it comes to gift giving.

And WHAT is going on with Laura's undies?!

Hazel Wallace is a medical doctor, nutritionist, women’s health advocate and founder of ‘Align’ a 10-week online program demystifying the menstrual cycle.

We asked you for your menstrual cycle questions and in this conversation Steph puts them to Hazel: how much pain is normal? Why does my period change after having a baby? Is it normal that my period is brown?

Hazel also challenges commonly held beliefs that we need to train differently while we’re on our period and that staying on the Pill for a long of time causes infertility.

Check out ‘Align’ here: https://www.thefoodmedic.co.uk/i-am-ready-to-align

It's enough to just let the water run down your legs in the shower...right? If you thought not washing her bra or vibrator was where Laura’s grotty habits ended…wait until you hear what she does (or more importantly…doesn’t!) wash in the shower.

Plus Steph opens up about something she’s working on in her relationship with Josh and we answer your D&M about what to do if you suspect a male colleague is being paid more than you.

SPECIAL SHARES:

• Steph: Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops
• Laura: the episode of The Imperfects podcast ‘Dr Emily – Who Do You Desire?’

Jayneen Sanders is a mum of three, author and educator. Her childrens' books teach kids about body boundaries, respect, consent, body safety, feelings and emotions. It’s every parents’ worst nightmare to think of something happening to their kid. But Jayneen’s work seeks to empower kids to become the boss of their bodies and teach parents how they can model respectful behaviour and boundaries at home.

In this important conversation, Steph asks Jayneen about the importance of calling ‘private parts’ by their proper names, what age to start these conversations with kids, and the skills Jayneen teaches kids including creating a list of trusted adults that they can come to in case anything happens.

Check out Jayneen’s free resources including ‘Questions to ask your child’s Child-Care Centre & School’: https://e2epublishing.info/posters#posterschildfriendly
