In today's episode we hear from a special young woman from our community who has gone through three very different and unfortunate long-term relationships and come out the other end! She shares her stories, which many of you will be able to relate to, and shares where she's at right now, single for the first time in 6 years and okay with it. We also share a little bit about our own experiences in past relationships. KIC SPECIAL SHARES Steph: Be A Lady They Said - A video by GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS Magazine https://girlsgirlsgirlsmag.com Laura: SHAMELESS Podcast In Conversation ep with Zoe Foster Blake To donate or find out more about Wildlife Victoria head to: wildlifevictoria.org.au497008 See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With Valentine’s Day coming up this week we thought it would be special to discuss the most important relationship we have throughout our life; the relationship with ourselves. The term; ‘loving yourself' is something we see on social media all the time (which we love), but it is a lot easier said than done. In today's episode we are joined by Kat John, an Inspirational Coach who has been through so much in life. Kat shares her own personal journey with self love, and how she was able to turn around from a darker mindset and find her own joy. We then touch on our own journeys, what has helped us shift our mindset in the past and share a little exercise you can do at home. Lastly, we also reached out to Jessie Quirk, one of our KIC girls from the community to speak to her own self love journey.  You can find more of Kat here : @kat.John and www.katjohn.com.au  And for Jessie: @kicgirl_jq  If you would like to see or hear more from us, you can find us on Instagram at @kic.app or @kicpod and @stephclairesmith and @laura.henshaw or check out kicapp.com/ KIC SPECIAL SHARES  Steph: Quote by Emma Stone; "I remind myself to be kind to myself and, as slightly ridiculous as it may sound, to treat myself in the same gentle way I'd want to treat a daughter of mine.

Welcome to season 2 of the KIC POD! In today's episode we chat all about routine! One of the most common questions we get is 'how do you get back on track and back into routine?' We thought we would kick off the year with a discussion on how we both approach our routine and get back into it after a break and invited our PT from our KIC program, Danny Kennedy on for his expert tips and tricks!  On another note, we along with the rest of Australia, have been feeling incredibly helpless during the devestating bushfires. We wanted to support Wildlife Victoria for all of their incredible efforts in saving native wildlife.

In today’s episode we reflect on the year that has just gone. We talk about our own personal pressures we have faced during 2019 along with our highlights from the last year. We also chat about new year resolutions. We know how easy it can be to write down new years goals, but what we can really resonate with is just how easy it is to forget about them. We discuss setting attainable and realistic goals and how to achieve them in the new year.

The ‘Anti-diet’, intuitive eating is a styling of eating you may have heard over the past few months, so we thought we would bring in our Keep It Cleaner Dietitian and Nutritionist, Marika Day to discuss what exactly this style of eating is. Marika describes intuitive eating as learning to trust and listen to your body and eat in response to what your body is telling you. We talk about the way in which we can integrate this approach to eating into our day to day lives, how to become aware of the reasons in which you might be eating by checking in with yourself plus answer questions from the community.
