An important conversation about breast cancer with Kic community member Ellie 02.04.2024 43:48
In January, one of our Kic community members, Ellie, messaged us on Instagram asking to share her story of being diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer diagnosis at just 31 years old. Ellie noticed a lump in one of her breasts last August. When it didn’t go away, Ellie made an appointment to get it checked out by her GP. Within days, Ellie underwent an ultrasound and biopsy to find out it wa...

Either we’re having sex…or we’re roommates. We want the in-between stuff! 24.03.2024 32:36
Can a kiss ever just be a kiss…or does it always have to lead to sex? Laura was scrolling Instagram where she saw this clip with Psychosexologist Karen Gurney and Diary of a CEO host Steven Barlett discussing the idea of “sexual currency” aka everything you do with your partner *except* sex. Steph and Laura share how this plays out in their own relationships…and why Laura has to have her wits abou...

If you ever want to suggest ideas (like this one) for the podcast - let us know in the closed KICPOD Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/...

Only 20% of women invest. Here’s why you shouldn’t be scared of it, with Girls That Invest founder Simran Kaur 05.03.2024 40:56
Simran Kaur’s mission is to put money into the hands of women through investing. Most of us haven’t been taught about investing. If you haven’t, you might think it’s too hard, or too risky, or our parents told us to save our money so that’s what we’ve always done. This means that only 15-20% of women invest worldwide and in Australia only 42% of women invest compared to 58% of men, citing affordab...

The secret to freedom is discipline with Alexis Fernandez 20.02.2024 52:20

If you’re married and having sex in the kitchen - good for you! 18.02.2024 30:12
Tell us you’re married without telling us you’re married. In a recent wardrobe clean out, Laura discovered an old drawer of sexy underwear (aka: barely there lace underwear that would give you thrush by looking at it) and realised she’s happy to never wear it again.

We’ve had enough of the “legging legs” trend 11.02.2024 33:26
If you have legs…you have legging legs. That’s it. In our catch up today we chat about the viral TikTok body trend "legging legs" aka what Millennials will remember as the "thigh gap".
