KICPOD

Lael Stone is a speaker, educator, author, and a KICBUMP fave <3 

In this episode Steph sits down with Lael to talk about supporting kids through big life changes - in Steph’s case - moving house and welcoming a second baby into the family.

They speak through parental preference, establishing & letting go of loving boundaries when they’re no longer working, what we can learn when kids are trying to exert control, as well as the new documentary Lael is part of called ‘Seen’.

Josh van Cuylenburg is one third of the podcast The Imperfects alongside his brother Hugh and their friend Ryan. We’ve had Hugh and Ryan on the podcast before and we were very honoured to finally have Josh on too.

In this episode we speak about self-confidence, how Josh went from being a producer to co-host on the podcast, and how he built the confidence to back himself, why he went off Instagram last year, and his relationship to exercise and body image.

Ellen Pompeo (aka Meredith from Grey’s Anatomy) was on Call Her Daddy recently and said it’s impossible to be 100% present at work if you’re a mother because there will always be a part of you that’s thinking about your kid(s). Steph recommended the episode last week and Laura listened so we could unpack it together. Plus we speak about the news of Ellen’s $20 million dollar contract and why we hate women speaking about money.

Also - it’s Easter this weekend and let this be your reminder that you don’t have to “earn” chocolate or “work it off” afterwards.

All of the lessons that Steph learned with Harvey that she’ll do again, or leave behind, for baby number two! 

Last year we posted a question box about Steph’s second pregnancy and sooo many of your questions were about what Steph will do differently this time around - so we’ve put all the things together in this episode.

Think - nappies, monitors, communication, sleep routines, transitioning to solids, and more.
