    Hello!!! What are we oversharing today?


    First up, we're getting a little delusional. With the end of the year fast approaching, we're talking about manifestation, the power of positive thinking and whether you can actually call the things you want into your life. We're getting into self-belief, overthinking, feeling deserving of good things and the things we'd like to leave behind (and call into our lives) before the new year.


    Then, we're getting into the Disney adult discourse. A recent viral article in The Cut has declared that Disney adults are cool again, but Steph has some thoughts about the idea that there's a right or wrong way to be a Disney fan. We're asking whether we've become so obsessed with categorising aesthetics that we can't just let people enjoy things.

    Hello!!! What are we oversharing today?


    Laura has taken out the entire Steph & Laura team with gastro, so Michelle Andrews is stepping in for Steph today. But just how much of a Steph & Laura girl is she? We’re putting her to the test with the important questions, from sharing towels and supermarket aisles to what actually happened in the delivery room.


    Then, we’re getting into a much bigger conversation. New research suggests Australia has the highest estimated prevalence of anorexia and bulimia in the world, with around one in 100 Australians affected. We’re unpacking what the findings tell us, sharing some of our own experiences with disordered eating and body image, and talking about the pressures that shape the way women feel about their bodies.


    And finally, it’s time for divorce court. With the end of the year approaching, we’re looking at why relationship breakdowns tend to peak around this time before putting some listener-submitted husband behaviour on trial. From secretly changing the light bulbs to bringing home a dog without asking, we’re deciding what’s a genuine marriage dealbreaker and what’s just part of being married.

    Hello!!! What are we oversharing today?


    First up, we're making some new laws. Getting gastro twice in three weeks? Illegal. Being hungover with little kids? Also illegal. We're sharing the everyday indignities we'd like to see outlawed, from rogue chin hairs to radio ads with sirens. Honestly, we think we'd make excellent lawmakers.


    Then, we're taking things into the bedroom. We're talking about the realities of long-term relationships, why getting in the mood can feel like another thing on the to-do list, and what actually helps us keep the spark alive. Plus, Steph has been doing some research (reading smut), and Laura has a cautionary tale about a sex position book.


    In this episode, Steph recommended 'The One About Matthew Perry' on Netflix, and Laura recommended ⁠'Nobody Wants This' season 3 on Netflix.

    Hi!! What are we oversharing today? 


    Laura is officially back in her Y2K era (apparently). Inspired by Hilary Duff's recent Melbourne performance, we're chatting all things nostalgic fashion, rediscovering personal style in your 30s, AND sharing our top 3 favourite brands at the moment.


    Then, we're talking about being a better listener. Do you give unsolicited advice all the time? We're guilty too! We share our personal and practical tips on how to really listen, without jumping into fix-it mode.

    Sooooo it's spooky season, and we're starting with a scary game of Trick or Treat: the friendship question game that brings all of our skeletons out of the closet. Then, we're getting into another terrifying topic: phone addiction. We're sharing screen times and our top tips for spending less time glued to our phones!


    In this episode, Steph recommended the book 'Hopeless' by Colleen Hoover. Laura recommended cold sore skincare products from Conserving Beauty.

    Hi!! What are we oversharing today? 


    Steph spills the tea on her trip to Paris Hilton's iconic Slivington Manor and addresses some of the thoughts that came off the back of the event she attended over there last weekend. Then, we're talking all about the Victoria Secret runway and our thoughts on Barbara Palvin walking the show 6 weeks postpartum. Finally, People Magazine released its 'Sexiest Man Alive Readers' Choice Poll' results and, naturally, we think we can do better. So we created our own (hint: think supermarket aisles and coffee orders).

    Happy Hump Day!!! What are we oversharing today?


    Should you tell your friend they're dating a loser? We're diving into a DM from listener Emma and unpacking how to approach that very awkward conversation with your friends. Then, Laura is bringing a surprise segment to the show... it's 2026, and it's time to clean up our digital footprints.


    In this episode, Steph recommended her collab with Outside Beauty Skincare. Laura doesn't have a rec, so she tells us a story about Steph, a man, and a selfie outside a coffee shop.

    Paris Hilton slid into Steph's DMs and invited her to her HOUSE! Naturally, Laura has some very important house etiquette tips for Steph before she steps into her new best friend's mansion. We're also sharing our go-to tips for walking into an event solo, chatting to strangers without the awkward small-talk spiral, and how to keep a conversation flowing.

    Plus, we're launching a brand new segment (!!!!)... The Nostalgia Games. Think Britney Spears, Furbies and iconic movie quotes. Expect yelling.

    Hi!!!!!


    What are we oversharing today?


    A viral debate from The Cut has us asking the ultimate friendship question: "Why are you telling your boyfriend about my sex life?" Is sharing everything with your partner a sign of intimacy, or does it make you a bad friend? We're unpacking where we draw the line, plus revealing our 10 unwritten rules of friendship (including a few chosen by YOU!).


    Then we dive into the big question: is joy actually a skill you can learn, or does chasing happiness risk slipping into toxic positivity? Plus, we're sharing our favourite ways to bring more whimsy into everyday life. The TikToks we mentioned during this segment are from users ⁠@oliohanian⁠, ⁠@murugimunyi⁠, and ⁠@marthaawalsh⁠.


    In this episode, Steph recommended brand Lovaan, and Laura recommended organisational hacks from TikTok user Amy Abode.

    Hi!! What are we oversharing today? 


    We're talking about the Berlin Marathon runner caught 34km into the race... on the back of a bike. Which got us thinking: when have you been caught red-handed? Steph reveals her most guilty teenage moment involving MMS and the horror of your parents reading your phone bill.


    Plus, after watching Sense and Sensibility, we’re unpacking birth order theory. Are eldest daughters really responsible overachievers, while the youngest siblings are charismatic attention seekers? We’re putting the stereotypes to the test.

    What are we oversharing today?

    We’re starting today with a NEW SEGMENT: Welcome to the Steph & Laura courtroom, where we’re putting the internet’s most debated opinions on trial. This week’s cases include: should you use a fresh towel every time you shower? Do you owe your friends a reply within 48 hours? And the big one… should every adult know the phonetic alphabet? (Spoiler: turns out neither of us do.)


    Then, we’re diving into a conversation sparked by the comments on a reel we posted last week: the labels “girl’s girl” and “pick me girl”. What do these terms actually mean? Are they helpful ways to talk about behaviour and social dynamics, or do they sometimes oversimplify people? We’re unpacking it.


    In this episode, Steph recommended YouTube channel @farmon212th, and Laura recommended Next Gen Chef on Netflix.

    Hi!! What are we oversharing today? 

    We're breaking the recommendation rules... we saw Verity, and we have THOUGHTS.

    Then we’re asking: Is facing life with urgency actually good for us? We’re getting into why we’re always rushing, and whether everything really needs to be done right now. Finally, we're talking all things Margot Ackerly (...Robbie). Laura has some strong feelings about it, while Steph and Laura share their very different reasons for changing, or not changing, their names after marriage. Plus, we asked YOU what you think about taking your partner's name when you tie the knot.

    What are we oversharing today?


    Steph has realised she’s suddenly into Dancing With The Stars… and we have one very important question: have we officially aged up? We’re unpacking the tell-tale signs that you’re entering your *older* era, sharing our personal giveaways and hearing yours too.

    Then, we get into the big relationship debate: should your husband be your best friend? A viral piece from The Cut introduced us to the phenomenon of “mankeeping” and, naturally, we have thoughts. 


    In this episode, Steph recommended The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, and Laura recommended Crew Girl.

    Dr Fatima Khan is a women’s health doctor. She has trained in psychiatry, obstetrics and gynaecology, and general practice and has an Advanced Certificate in Menopause Care. Fatima is the author of the new “Hormone Health is Mental Health: How perimenopause hijacks your brain — and how to reclaim yourself”.

    We loved this title and the concept that hormone health is mental health so we wanted to have Fatima on the podcast to talk about it! 

    In this episode we speak about the menstrual cycle and what is happening to our hormones at each stage of the cycle, the characteristics of estrogen & progesterone, PMDD, and the importance of small daily practices to support our nervous systems.

    We’re opening the mailbox and answering your dilemmas!

    QUESTION #1: My parents won’t stop making comments about if & when I break up with my partner. They seem to prefer my sister’s boyfriend even though my partner & I have been together longer. It’s making my partner anxious. How do I talk to my parents about this and set boundaries? 

    QUESTION #2: My best friend is keeping big life events a secret from me. She’s bought houses and sold houses and bought a new car and hasn’t told me until it’s all completely finalised.  Am I overreacting? Do I feel entitled to her news when I shouldn’t be?

    QUESTION #1: I’m pregnant for the first time and my mum has been making judgemental comments about women who breastfeed in public. She thinks it’s attention seeking. I don’t know how I’ll feel about breastfeeding yet but I’m not sure how to deal with my mum’s comments if & when she makes them

    Raj Barker is the founder of BURN by Body Medicine, a unique somatic movement method that combines yoga, mat Pilates, cardio and breath awareness. We’re so excited to have Raj teach her BURN classes at KICStudio this August and October and wanted to introduce her to you beforehand.

    In this episode, Raj speaks with Laura about how she first came to somatic movement during her time teaching at The Class in New York City, what defines a somatic movement practice, and why the language we use around nervous system regulation matters. She explores the idea that moments of nervous system dysregulation are a normal part of being human and how practices such as somatic movement can help us develop the internal resources to meet those moments with greater awareness and choice.

    WHAT IS BURN? 

    BURN by Body Medicine is a unique somatic movement method fusing yoga, mat Pilates, breath awareness and cardio (not too much). We use movement to create sensation and, beyond our thoughts, we practice trusting that sensation to steer our process. This is a music-driven experience, where you'll be guided through intentional and embodied movement, cultivating a fire to either burn through what is in your way, or illuminate what needs to be seen, ultimately forging a pathway to deeper self-connection and holistic well-being.

    KICStudio x BURN by Body Medicine 

    Raj will host two events at KICStudio on Saturday August 22nd and Sunday August 23rd. You can book now via the MindBody app: https://clients.mindbodyonline.com/classic/ws?studioid=5748787&stype=-7&sTG=31&sVT=17&sView=week&sLoc=1&date=08/22/26

    We got a DM from you asking us for our thoughts on the rise of rib recontouring surgery so this week we’re talking about it. In case it’s not come across your algorithm - rib recontouring is a surgery that fractures the lower ribs to reduce the size of the waist. We discuss what the surgery involves, what experts are saying about it, and the marketing of the procedure that makes it look more like a holiday than a surgery.

    Plus - Steph has nits, Laura had a colonoscopy, and Bailey Smith has been caught out.

    Update - in the listener DM we read out we say that the rib recontouring procedure removes part of the rib. The ribs are not removed in this procedure. We have updated the episode to make this clear.

    Hiiii! It’s time for another WWYD episode! This week your questions are both food and body-image related.

    QUESTION #1: Should I take a risk and pursue my dream career before it’s too late, or should I prioritise the financial wellbeing of my relationship and return to my corporate career? 

    QUESTION #2: My best friend isn’t interested in my child. Where do I draw the line between our different life stages and her just being a bad friend?

    Alex Light is a UK-based advocate and speaker on body image, body confidence & self-acceptance. Alex’s latest book is ‘The Price of Pretty: How toxic beauty standards are bringing women down and how we can fight back’. 

    You might’ve heard us talk about Alex on the podcast before we LOVE her content so much and we were so excited to have her on the KICPod for the first time!!

    Laura sat down with Alex to speak about how women’s bodies trend through time, the return of skinniness, the prevalence of GLP1’s, AI, bounce-back culture after women give birth, and lots more!! 

    Also - just a heads up - when we recorded this episode, Alex was pregnant with her second bub.
