We asked you how you spend money in your relationship and almost 2,000 of you responded!! This week we dive into the results of our money & relationships survey, and share our own experiences of how we manage our money with our husbands. In the survey we asked: do you & your partner earn the same, how do you & your partner combine your money (and why), do you have any private accounts, how do you split combined expenses, and more. Thank you to everyone who took part in the survey <3 We were SO overwhelmed with the number of responses we received that we couldn’t get to all of them, but we’ll do more episodes on this topic in the future!

If you haven’t thought about your goals since you made them in January…this episode is for you. It’s the time of year where a lot of us have slipped behind on our goals or lost sight of them completely - but it’s never too late to make them happen! To help - we asked our coach Janey Martino for some mid-year goal inspo. Janey Martino is our personal coach as well as being a business founder, board director, investor and advisor for Kic. Janey speaks to us about reviewing our goals with curiosity instead of judgement, getting back on track with goals we’ve left behind, and a few different ways to think about goal setting. WE MENTIONED Janey has been on the podcast a few times before. Search her name in the podcast app you’re using to see all of her previous episodes.

Chris Griffin is the host of the podcast 'The Pocket' where, on a recent episode, he spoke about his desire for a partner who doesn’t work unless she wants to. Laura spoke up about the episode throughout the week (and was overwhelmed by the response!) and in this episode Laura unpacks the problem with attitudes like these and why it’s so dangerous for women to be isolated from the workforce.

With Harvey now well into three-year-old kinder, we thought it was the perfect time to welcome back Catharine Hydon to KICBUMP to talk through the transition to four-year-old kinder, as well as answer all your kinder questions. Catharine Hydon is an independent early childhood consultant and Director of Hydon Consulting where she works with a wide range of organisations and governments. We had Catharine on KICBUMP last year, before Harvey started kinder. In this episode, Steph reflects on everything they’ve learned, including Harvey’s cognitive, social & emotional development since starting kinder, and also ask Catharine’s perspective on their next move to four-year-old kinder. We answer your questions too, like what children can expect in a standard day, when to start looking for a kinder, how often they should attend, and more. Thanks to the Victorian Government again for making this episode of KICBUMP possible.

So…what is ADHD? How is it diagnosed? What does it look like in adults? What medications exist and how do they work? For the first episode of the ‘It’s My ADHD’ miniseries, Steph sits down with a psychologist and a psychiatrist to find out more about ADHD and how a psychologist and a psychiatrists’ approach differs when it comes to diagnosing and treating ADHD. Bec McWilliam is a holistic psychologist. Bec has ADHD herself and diagnoses adults with ADHD. Dr Dianne Grocott is a psychiatrist with 30 years experience in private & public practice who specialises in ADHD & Addiction Psychiatry.

Kellie Gardner was living her best life with her partner, AFL player Jeremy Finlayson, falling pregnant and giving birth to their beautiful baby girl Sophia in August last year. Then, when Sophia was just 3 months old, Kellie was diagnosed with stage 3 Colorectal Cancer, which she later found out was actually stage 4. After spending a large amount of Sophia’s life in hospital, Kellie wants to warn other mums and women to listen to their bodies and get checked if anything doesn’t seem right. We’re so grateful for Kellie coming on to tell her story, and are glad to hear she’s now doing well.
