All the juicy details of Steph & Josh's intimacy challenge!
*WARNING* This ep may not be suitable for little ears (if you didn't already gather that from the title). You asked, Steph & Josh answered! You might have heard Steph mention a few episodes back (or seen it on socials... or seen it on news sites... seriously even the New York Post were writing about it) that she and her husband Josh were partaking in a 30 day intimacy challenge.. aka 30 days of sex! Well, the challenge has come to an end so it was time for Laura to put them in the hot seat and ask all of your juicy questions, like how they made time for it given they have a toddler, if it felt like a chore, what their parents said when they found out, if their sex life would be any different moving forward and so much more.

“90% is mental, and the other 10% is all in our heads”. Goal setting with Samantha Gash
We thought Laura loved running… until we heard what Samantha Gash has taken part in! The endurance athlete and Survivor star was the first woman in the world and youngest person at the time to complete the Four Desert Grandslam – a series of 4 x 250km ultramarathons across 1 year in the world’s toughest climate deserts. She has also run 379km across Australia’s Simpson Desert, amongst many other incredibly challenging ultramarathons – so it’s no wonder Sam was once the subject of a documentary called Desert Runners. She is about to take part in another enormous feat, running 1600km from the West to the East of Nepal. In today’s KICPOD episode, Steph & Laura find out how any of this is even humanly possible, and what kind of mindset you need to have to achieve such an incredibly massive goal. If you’re looking for motivation and want to get better at goal setting, this is the ep to listen to! SPECIAL SHARES: Steph – Hairspray Musical Laura – About Time, Netflix film KIC UPDATES: Our KIC Tour is happening in October in Adelaide, Perth and Auckland NZ! Grab your tickets now from kictour.com and let’s workout together, talk together and meet each other for the first time in years!

KICBUMP: Watching your partner go through childbirth, then going through it yourself! With Moana Hope
Although every woman's pregnancy and birth story is different, one thing most mums can agree on is that a man will never truly understand what it's like to go through childbirth - and so for a lot of mums, this includes their partner. Former AFLW player & Survivor star Moana Hope is in the unique position where she knows exactly what it's like from both perspectives! Her wife Isabella Carlstrom gave birth to their daughter Svea in 2020, then in June this year Moana gave birth to their son Ahi. In this episode of KICBUMP, Moana not only shares her fascinating story of forming her beautiful family, but also generously tells her birth story for the first time. KIC UPDATES KICBUMP will soon be branching off to be its own separate podcast. Be sure to follow/subscribe once it exits the KICPOD feed in a few weeks' time!
