Steph & Laura Archiv

We share a lot on this podcast. But even after so many years of friendship, there are still stories we’ve never told each other…and stories we’ve forgotten that our friends and family would love to remind us of. So in today’s podcast we call Steph’s oldest friend Martha to find out what Steph did at a sleepover in year eight. And Laura reflects on decision making, doing the “right” thing, and worrying about what people will think, as she unpacks two parts of the Mel Robbins’ podcast episode with Steven Bartlett that she recommended last week.  If you’re making a big decision - this is the pump up you’re looking for!

KIC-COURT is in session! In a brand new segment, Steph & Laura take on your controversial questions.

The more control you have in your life, the more free you are. It may sound counter-intuitive, but it’s true, and in this episode Alexis tells us why. Alexis Fernandez is the host of the podcast Do You F*ing Mind, she has a Masters of Neuroscience, she's obsessed with the brain, and thankfully for us, she is REALLY good at explaining how it works. We wanted to speak with her about discipline and oh boy...did she blow our minds In this episode, Alexis explains why discipline isn't something to be scared of and how it gives you more control and freedom to choose the life you want. Plus Alexis shares how she used discipline in her own life to get over a breakup, level up her career and transform her life.

If you have legs…you have legging legs. That’s it. In our catch up today we chat about the viral TikTok body trend "legging legs" aka what Millennials will remember as the "thigh gap".

If you’re setting goals this new year, you need to listen to this. Less than 10% of new years’ resolutions succeed. If you want to achieve the goals you set yourself this year, this episode with Kic’s Head Trainer (and our goal setting champion) Danny will give you the tools and motivation you need to make it happen. In this episode, Danny speaks with us about what makes a good goal, setting goals that are challenging but realistic, the mental blocks that stop us from achieving our goals, and why the short-term weight loss challenges that are so popular at this time of year are destined to fail.  FOLLOW US:Danny: @djkfitness on InstagramKICPOD @kicpod on InstagramKic @kic.app on Instagram & @kic on TikTok and kicapp.com or download the app from the App Store and Google Play StoreSteph Claire Smith @stephclairesmith on Instagram & @steph_claire_smith on TikTokLaura Henshaw @laura.henshaw on Instagram & @laura.henshaw on Tiktok See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
