KICPOD

In Steph & Laura's catch up today, to celebrate Halloween the topic of fears and phobias is discussed (the light hearted and unique ones), and boy did we have some strange ones sent in! Plus, we hear some of the very specific demands celebrities have had for their hotel stays. Also on today's KICPOD episode, while we had Hugh van Cuylenburg in the studio we decided to try the 'Last Friday Night' Tiktok prank on him, where the lyrics to a Katy Perry song are read out like a story of someone's night out - so how far into the song will we get until he realises?

The wonderful Hugh van Cuylenburg is the only guest we've had 3 times on KICPOD, but it’s for good reason that we keep getting him back! As always, the founder of The Resilience Project provides some wonderful insights on how to protect your energy and say no to things you don't need to do, practicing what you preach and putting your learnings into every day life, and why it's important to choose truth over harmony.   We also have a great giggle in today's episode about the amount of fangirling coming from one particular host, plus we put a spin on the 'Vulerabilitea House' segment that Hugh usually does on his podcast - we, instead, do the 'Hilaritea House'.   * Check out Hugh's podcast 'The Imperfects' with Ryan Shelton here * Be sure to keep an eye out for Hugh's new show coming to Amazon next Feb called G.E.M.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Last week, Steph shared the extremely mortifying moment where she accidentally sent a saucy pic to her parents instead of her husband Josh. In Steph & Laura’s catch up today, we learn that she is actually not alone – in fact, there are some FAR worse moments people have had involving their parents and things they definitely should not have witnessed... and one moment with Laura and her cleaner! Also in this KICPOD episode, we find out who would have more game out of Steph or Laura if they were single, and hear about the famous duo the girls met on the weekend. SPECIAL SHARES: Laura – It Ends With Us, novel by Colleen Hoover Steph – Call Her Daddy, podcast episode with Hailey BieberSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As you may know, Steph's husband Josh is a stay at home dad for their son Harvey. Although society has come a long way since our parents' days, we're still in a position where this is pretty rare.   Josh opens up to Steph on today's KICBUMP episode about the challenges he faces in this unique position that none of his mates can relate to, how the choice to be the stay at home parent came about, and the extremely rewarding parts about it. We also learn the reason Steph & Josh both envy each other's positions at times.   This is a great one for your partner to listen to if you're the stay at home parent!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In Steph & Laura’s catch up today, we find out what mortifying moment Laura had at work recently, and the even more mortifying moment Steph once had with her parents. We also hear another D&M from someone who needs help figuring out what to do with the very sticky bridesmaid situation she’s found herself in, and we test out Laura to see how much of a people pleaser she really is.   SPECIAL SHARES: Laura – Farmer Wants A Wife, Channel 7 series Steph – Do Revenge, Netflix series   KIC UPDATES: We have just launched Treadmill, hosted by our newest Master Trainer – Laura! 10-30 minute sprint, hill, fartlek and speed interval runs or walks designed to challenge yourself or go at your own pace - no matter what you choose, expect to feel empowered with the runners high!

For anyone who has a podcast, it seems unfathomable to reach a milestone like 50 million downloads – but for Shameless Media founders Zara McDonald and Michelle Andrews, this has recently become a reality! If you’ve contributed to that 50 million, you will have heard one of their many podcasts; Shameless, Scandal, Everybody Has A Secret, Book Club or Love Etc. In today’s episode, Zara & Michelle tell us what their career journey has been like so far, how they deal with stressful times, and of course compare notes with Steph & Laura also being two female founders in the public eye who started a business together after becoming besties. We also learn that if it weren’t for something Laura said, they might not have gotten to where they are now!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In today's episode, Steph & Laura take you behind the scenes of everything that goes on at KIC, including how the business and their friendship came about, how they manage conflict, and what their day to day looks like in such a busy job!   They also answer all of your questions around how they hire people for their team, what the content creation process is and how on earth they get any work done and not just chat all day seeing as though they're besties!   SPECIAL SHARES: Steph - The Diary Of A CEO podcast episode with Lewis Capaldi Laura - Mecca Max make-up brush   KIC UPDATES: It's World Mental Health Day, and to help you prioritise your mental health, you can get a 1 month free subscription to KIC when you sign up with the code KICPODMIND.
