    Everything you need to know about kindergarten - KICBUMP with Catharine Hydon Apr 09, 2024
    Show notes

    If you haven’t been to kinder since you were IN kinder, you’ve probably forgotten what it’s all about and what the big deal is. So as Harvey gets closer to kindergarten age, Steph speaks with early childhood consultant Catharine Hydon about all things kindergarten.

    They talk the big things, like: what do our kids actually learn at kinder, how does it help them transition to school, and how is my kid developing emotionally and social at that age? And the little things, like: how early do I have to enrol, dealing with tears at drop off, and does my kid need to be fully toilet trained to attend?

    This episode of KICBUMP is sponsored by the Department of Education Victoria.

    Losing a loved one & giving birth 3 weeks later - KICBUMP with Katie Lolas Mar 26, 2024
    Show notes

    Katie Lolas is beloved by her online community who she shares her life with. When Katie’s sister, Nadia passed away unexpectedly in 2021 at 31 years old, Katie’s community grieved alongside her. But Katie had another job to do: she was 35 weeks pregnant and in three weeks’ time, she was due to deliver her first child, Harper, via C-section. When Katie was trying to grieve one life changing event, she was also trying to celebrate another life changing event, and trying not to feel guilty for doing one or the other.

    In this episode, Katie speaks with Steph all about of it.

    They discuss how Katie learned that Nadia had passed away, the pressure to feel happy for having a healthy baby while she was grieving her sister, being diagnosed with depression and the support she received to get through it, how she remembers Nadia now, and what life is like with her three-year-old Harper and nine-month-old Eli.

    Katie stayed at a Tresillian centre. Find out more here https://www.tresillian.org.au/

    Birth story, prolapse & baby Parker - KICBUMP with Brooke Jowett Mar 12, 2024
    Show notes

    Brooke Jowett is a Kic trainer and an Australian Survivor All Star. Six months ago she and her partner Chris welcomed their first bub, Parker, into the world and it’s safe to say they’re obsessed.

    As a trainer, "the Kic HIIT girl", and a keen runner, Brooke ran until she was 26 weeks pregnant when it stopped feeling right for her body. Now she’s back running, taking it one run at a time.

    Brooke joins Steph to share about her birth story, her bladder prolapse, her gradual return to running, running with a pessary, and the joy that Parker has brought into her life. They also get into the TMI: what was your first poo like after giving birth? Can you feel your pessary when you have sex? Your waters broke where!?

    Do I or don't I want kids? - KICBUMP with Laura Henshaw Feb 27, 2024
    Show notes

    The decision to have kids is one of the biggest ones we’ll ever make. Last year Laura opened up about this decision, weighing up what it would mean to her career and her identity, what scares her about having kids, and her fear of leaving it too long. We know this is a question on so many people’s minds, which is why we want to create a podcast miniseries asking the questions we can’t find anywhere else.

    In today’s special episode, Laura is back on KICBUMP to share her plans for a new miniseries exploring the decision to have kids from multiple perspectives, from people who didn’t want kids and had them, to people who did want kids and never had them, how they decided and how they feel about it now.

    And we want to hear from you: what do you want to hear in the miniseries? Who do you want to hear from? What’s holding you back? What pushed you to make a decision?

    Reach out via Laura’s Instagram @laura.henshaw and KICPOD @kicpod

    We can’t wait to share it with you.

    This episode includes snippets from the following KICPOD episodes (in order)

    Laura's fertility journey - KICBUMP with Laura Henshaw and Dr Sneha Wadhwani (from June 2023)

    Laura expresses her fear of not coping (September 2023)

    The decision of whether to have children, with Ryan Shelton (February 2023)

    How do I know if I ACTUALLY want kids? with Gina Rushton (May 2022)

    How do you find time for each other? What’s the hardest part of parenting right now? Why do people assume your marriage is on the rocks? It’s been a while since Steph’s husband, Josh, was on KICBUMP so he came into the studio for an honest chat about all the things you want to know: parenting, relationships, and whether or not Steph and Josh will ever do another 30 day intimacy challenge.

    Finding community through a cerebral palsy diagnosis – KICBUMP with Kic community member Kim Jan 30, 2024
    Show notes

    Kim was 27 weeks pregnant with her first daughter when she noticed a tiny amount of bleeding. After almost a week in hospital, and a traumatic birth experience, Kim gave birth to Elsie. Elsie then spent 11 weeks in the NICU and in that time, Kim and her husband Greg learned that Elsie had suffered a brain injury through pregnancy or birth and she was given a diagnosis of spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy.

    In this episode, Kim shares her story with Steph: her mostly straightforward pregnancy with Elsie, Elsie’s traumatic birth, their NICU stay and how it felt to finally hold Elsie for the first time, learning of Elsie’s brain injury, finding support online from parents of children with disabilities, and the decision to have a second baby.

    Thanks to Kic community member Kim for reaching out with her story. We hope her story helps other parents going through similar things feel less alone.

    Kim recommended the book 'Special: Antidotes to the obsessions that come with a child's disability' by Melanie Dimmitt https://www.simonandschuster.com.au/books/Special/Melanie-Dimmitt/9781925384680

    The best thing you can teach kids about food, movement & body image – KICBUMP with Taryn Brumfitt Jan 16, 2024
    Show notes

    Taryn Brumfitt is a body image activist, documentary director, writer, speaker, and the 2023 Australian Of The Year. Taryn created the documentary ‘Embrace’ to help us change the way we think about our bodies and ‘Embrace Kids’ to teach 9-14 year olds how to respect, move and nourish their bodies.

    Kids learn their first messages about food, movement and body image from their parents but parents can’t control what messages their kids learn outside the home. This is where Body Blocks comes in: a free learning resource for childhood educators.

    In this moving conversation, Taryn joins Steph to discuss how Taryn has reframed the parts of her body that changed through childbirth and feeding 4,000 meals to her children, the impact that parents’ and teachers’ language can have on kids for years afterwards, and the importance of sending positive messages to kids even if you don’t always feel them inside.

    Don’t call it a “cookie” - talking to kids about consent & body safety – KICBUMP with Jayneen Sanders Nov 21, 2023
    Show notes

    Jayneen Sanders is a mum of three, author and educator. Her childrens' books teach kids about body boundaries, respect, consent, body safety, feelings and emotions. It’s every parents’ worst nightmare to think of something happening to their kid. But Jayneen’s work seeks to empower kids to become the boss of their bodies and teach parents how they can model respectful behaviour and boundaries at home.

    In this important conversation, Steph asks Jayneen about the importance of calling ‘private parts’ by their proper names, what age to start these conversations with kids, and the skills Jayneen teaches kids including creating a list of trusted adults that they can come to in case anything happens.

    Is it normal to resent your partner during the newborn phase? – KICBUMP with Leonie Akhidenor Nov 07, 2023
    Show notes

    You’re exhausted from feeding all night and your partner is playing golf. If you’re currently in the depths of the newborn phase, and resenting your partner for going back to their normal life, you’re not alone. Mum of two, relationship coach, and host of the ‘Parenthood’ podcast Leonie Akhidenor has heard it all (and worse) so we asked for her help to answer your questions.

    Steph & Leonie discuss the resentment that parents can feel when they’re taking on more of the load than their partner & how to manage it, what non-feeding partners can do to feel useful and how common it is to feel disconnected from your baby in the early days.
