Steph & Laura Archiv

Today is International Women's Day.

You'll hear Steph & Laura's experience, and also stories from Carrie Bickmore, Fifi Box, Turia Pitt, Jamila Rizvi, and many more. Happy International Women's Day, we hope you enjoy this special episode we've put together.   KIC UPDATE: We have an IWD sale on now!

In Steph & Laura's catch up today, Steph's husband Josh is given the chance to throw her under the bus with an embarrassing story, seeing as she reveals plenty about him on the pod... but will he do that to his darling wife? And what could she possibly not have shared already? Plus in today's episode, we hear some very controversial and unpopular opinions, and discuss the confronting truth about getting older.   SPECIAL SHARE:You, Season 4 - Netflix series See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you're someone who has a negative relationship with food, exercise or body image, this episode will provide you with some helpful tools to assist in rewiring your thinking patterns to be more positive.  Clinical & Coaching Psychologist, and host of the 'Crappy to Happy' podcast, Cass Dunn joins us on KICPOD this week to discuss emotional eating. What exactly is it? What's the psychology behind it? Why does it affect so many of us, particularly women? What can we do to shift our mindset? Cass answers all of these questions and also provides a really interesting insight into the bigger question behind it all - what's really going on mentally? You can listen to Cass Dunn’s podcast ‘Crappy to Happy’ on the free LiSTNR app or wherever you get your podcasts.

On today's episode, a very important discussion is had about how normalising tanning culture needs to stop. Very sadly, writer and friend of Laura & Steph's, Natalie Fornasier lost her life after being diagnosed with melanoma, and although it shouldn't take tragedy to teach us important lessons, it has certainly given us the reminder we need.

Full disclosure; when we've heard about manifestation in the past we've thought "hmm, that's not for me" and questioned the technique as a whole.

If you're like us and have had your barriers up about manifestation, this episode is for you!   Sarah has been in the lifestyle and personal development space for over a decade now, having studied human behaviour, emotions, meditation and manifestation.

She shares practical and simple tools we can all use to shift our mindset and better our outcomes, and it's safe to say she has certainly changed our minds about manifestation!   Check out her website sarahgrynberg.com for her online courses, including Manifesting Your Greatness.
