Dr Billy Garvey is a developmental paediatrician and a senior specialist at one of Australia’s largest tertiary paediatric hospitals. He has over 20 years experience working with families and children, and training other professionals on how to work with children, plus he’s the dad of two little ones, so he's able to see first-hand how his research and advice plays out in real life. Billy’s book ‘Ten Things I Wish You Knew About Your Child’s Mental Health’ takes the lessons Billy has learned from two decades working with families and children, including behaviour, social skills, attachment, respect, depression, anxiety and self-esteem. In this episode Steph speaks with Billy about the biggest misconceptions people have about children’s behaviour and mental health, what to do before, during, and after a child erupts, why parents shouldn’t tell children “it’s okay” when they’re having a meltdown, emotional regulation and how parents can model it for their children, the warning signs for anxiety and depression in children, and why parents looking after their own mental health should be their number one priority.

Are you a Perfectionist? An Overachiever? A People Pleaser? Every woman will see themselves in at least one of the 13 archetypes that Megan Dalla-Camina has identified. Megan is a women’s leadership and empowerment expert. Her Women Rising Program has empowered over 7,500 women in 63 countries and her new book ‘Women Rising: The forces that hold us back, the tools to help us rise’ reveals the internal and external forces impacting how women lead and succeed. We loved Megan’s chapter on the 13 archetypes of the inner critic so we invited her on the KICPOD to unpack what an archetype is, find out how to identify our own archetypes, and find out how we can stop letting our inner critic win, because the more you know about your archetype, the more power you have to transform it into something that works for you, rather than holds you back.

What have you pretended to like for a crush?

You have our permission to stop pretending you like giving head, beer, golf and camping and just be who you are!

Since launching their podcast in January, Phoebe and Anna have covered topics like sports bras, nutrition, running burnout, prepping for races, and so much more.

It's time for another rant from Laura! On a recent Instagram video calling out internalised misogyny, someone accused Laura of “playing the gender card” and today she shares her feelings about it. TLDR: if you’ve never experienced discrimination, you can’t tell people who have been discriminated against that it doesn’t exist. PLUS the Olympics are over and we miss it already! We look back at some of our highlights outside of the gold medal moments. Check out the bibliography below for all the videos we mentioned.

A must listen ahead of the women's Olympic marathon marathon this weekend! In the heat of the women’s 3000m steeplechase at the Tokyo Games, Gen Gregson fell and ruptured her achilles tendon. As devastating as it was that Gen’s steeplechase career was over, and her return to elite sport was uncertain, Gen saw an opportunity to fulfil another dream: becoming a mum. Gen gave birth to her son Archer in June 2022. At 3 weeks postpartum Gen started jogging again and at 13 months postpartum she ran her debut marathon on the Gold Coast Marathon in a time of 2:28, making her the second-fastest debut marathon for an Australian woman. Gen took another two minutes off her marathon time to qualify for the Paris Games where she will compete this Sunday. In this episode, Gen sits down with Steph to share her story of returning to elite sport following major surgery and childbirth, how she balances family life with training for the Olympics, the village that supports her in this pursuit, including her husband Ryan Gregson who’s also a marathon runner, and why being a mum makes her a better marathon runner.
