The Raw Reality of Domestic Abuse and Family Violence Mar 29, 2022

Show notes

This week we spoke to Tarang Chawla, the host of Future Women’s Podcast ‘There’s No Place Like Home’ about domestic and family violence. In this chat Tarang shares his personal experience with domestic violence and unpacks the complexities of abuse.

This conversation provides an understanding into the multitude of ways in which domestic violence can appear and highlights the dire need for increased awareness. Tarang also speaks to the common feeling of shame and why those experiencing domestic violence often don’t seek support.

If you are experiencing domestic violence we encourage you to reach out for help by contacting the national counselling service 1800RESPECT (1800 737 732) or Lifeline on 13 11 14 or text 0477 13 11 14 at night.

KICBUMP: When Birth Plans don't go to Plan Mar 20, 2022

Show notes

In today's KICBUMP episode Steph reflects on her own birth story, and shares a number of the communities birth stories too where their birth didn't exactly go to plan!

The common piece of advice; have preferences over having a plan & remember that your personal feelings when you reflect on your own birth are valid no matter what they are. You are able to feel grateful at the same time as disappointed - the two feelings absolutely can sit parallel when it comes to reflecting on your birth.

If you’re looking for an online community of other mummas to connect with, you can find our private KICBUMP page on Facebook.

Thank you to todays sponsor, ErgoPouch. If you’re interested in checking them out, you can purchase the NEW Winter Harvest Collection, and their entire safe-sleep approved range, which covers newborns to 12-year-olds, exclusively online through the ergoPouch website; ergopouch.com.au.

The power of mindset and finding happiness with Em Carey Mar 15, 2022

Show notes

With World Happiness Day quickly approaching, Steph and Laura took the opportunity to chat with ray of sunshine Em Carey also known as 'the girl who fell from the sky'.

After becoming paralysed from the waist down when her parachute didn't open whilst skydiving, Em had to learn to walk again. Although in an irreversible situation, Em didn't let this stop her. In this chat she shares her journey after her accident and her tips on how to find happiness and have strength in the most uncontrollable of situations.

Our happiness is in own hands and Em wants to remind you that even though the problem might not go away, you have the power to change the way you look at it. This chat serves as a reminder to shift the focus off of what you don’t have onto what you DO have and to have faith in your own strength.

Navigating friendships throughout different life stages Mar 01, 2022

Show notes

Steph & Laura are a pure example of best friends navigating two very different life stages.

Steph is thriving as a mum to Harvey, learning to juggle the competing demands of work and mum-life. Whereas, Laura is solely dedicated to her KIC career, but together, they make it work!

As we move through different life stages, it’s only human for friendships to grow closer when you have shared interests to bond over, or drift apart when your values and priorities change.

Steph & Laura chat about the challenges faced, sharing their tips on setting boundaries, being open & honest with each other and learning that sometime’s it’s okay to let go.
