  • It’s ok but nothing amazing

    I do listen to the eps here and there. Sometimes quite enjoyable. Some feedback is if steph can work on her filler words especially “or whatever” - this is said soooo many times and it sounds like teenager. Laura is constantly falling prey to tall poppy syndrome having to justify her success/lifestyle, eg “this is just my experience and not everyones” or “we’re obviously super lucky and grateful to be able to do XYZ”. Also Laura stumbles over her words so much and neither girls speak very cohesi... more

  • Constantly echoing Shameless Pod

    Noticing a pattern of echoing both the topics and the opinions of the Shameless podcast. I get that the KICPod is like a chat but it all seems a bit unprepared and not a lot of original thought put into it.

  • You don’t need to be relatable

    I really like Steph & Laura, however I really wish they’d just acknowledge that they’re both very beautiful, skinny, attractive multimillionaires & stop trying to be relatable when it comes to money & beauty standards.

  • Frustrating listen

    If you want to hear 2 millennials whinge about being a woman and how hard things are “being a woman”.

    This is not inspiring, there’s a lot of negative lines of conversation and it’s very annoying.

    In fear of upsetting other people these 2 don’t talk about things that make them happy, things they enjoy or are going well in their life. Steph makes being a mum sound hard and unenjoyable, but then apparently she loves it🤷🏼‍♀️ There’s ways to talk about our mum struggles without this negative conno... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

WWYD: my cellulite makes me self-conscious to wear a bikini
Q: Hi ladies, I'm needing some advice about a situation at work where older colleagues comment on what I'm eating and my body, making me uncomfortable. How would you approach this respectfully but firmly?
Document the behavior, consider a private conversation or email to set boundaries, and involve HR if needed. Explain how the comments affect your comfort and productivity, and propose a concrete boundary that the workplace should respect to protect your wellbeing.
WWYD: my cellulite makes me self-conscious to wear a bikini
Q: Hi, you two, love the pod and have been following your journey since 2018. I'm headed on a beach holiday next week, and I'm struggling with some body positivity. I've had cellulite on the back of my legs for as long as I can remember, even when I was in school. How would you navigate this?
Acknowledge that beauty standards are not your fault and that genetics and biology play a big role. Focus on what makes you feel good and safe on holiday, prefer outfits that give you comfort, and practice small acts of exposure (like wearing a bikini in trusted settings) to prove to yourself that others won't notice or judge as much as you fear.
Strength training Q&A - with PT Danny Kennedy
Q: What is the most common obstacle to exercise and how do you address it as a PT?
Time is the big hurdle; reframe priorities, set realistic weekly targets, and design workouts that fit into real life, such as shorter sessions that can still yield meaningful progress.
Strength training Q&A - with PT Danny Kennedy
Q: High weights and low reps versus low weights and high reps, when would you do one over the other?
Both strategies have a place; start with lower weights and higher reps when learning a new skill to build muscular endurance and proper form, then progressively overload with heavier weights and lower reps as you advance, ensuring you don't sacrifice technique or recovery.
WWYD: my in-laws don’t like me
Q: My in-laws don't like me. Hi guys. I absolutely adore the pod. Thank you. I have a sticky stitch and I would love some advice for what would you do.
The hosts acknowledge the hurt and suggest that the listener should focus on managing expectations, communicate boundaries with the partner's parents, and consider the possibility that the issue lies with the in-laws rather than the listener. They emphasize safety in conversations, clear explanations of life commitments (like work), and the option to create distance or limit interactions if necessary, while supporting the partner in addressing the behavior with his parents.
