It’s December! Steph might’ve been listening to Christmas music since October but the rest of us have finally caught up with her and this week we’re talking all things Christmas! Starting with some important reminders at this time of year around gift giving, Santa, cost-of-living, comments about food and exercise, and not believing everything you see on Instagram. Then we asked for the worst gifts you’ve ever received and you guys had some fizzers! PSA: if you’re thinking about buying someone a toilet brush for Christmas…don’t.

Today is International Day of Consent. To recognise the day, we sat down with Angelique Wan, Executive Director, Co-Founder & CEO of Consent Labs: an youth-led not-for-profit committed to ending sexual violence through preventative educational workshops delivered to young people, schools, educators, tertiary institutions, parents and carers about consent. We talk about initiating consent conversations with new & long term partners, what to do when consent is withdrawn, how consent applies to other areas of life outside of the bedroom, and great representations of consent in pop culture.  Check out Consent Labs https://www.consentlabs.org.au/  FOLLOW US Consent Labs @consentlabs on InstagramKICPOD @kicpod on InstagramJoin our closed KICPOD Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/630561419185145/Steph Claire Smith @stephclairesmith on Instagram & @steph_claire_smith on TikTokLaura Henshaw @laura.henshaw on Instagram & @laura.henshaw on TiktokKic @kic.app on Instagram & @kic on TikTok and kicapp.com or download the app from the App Store and Google Play StoreSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You ask…Steph answers! A few weeks ago we asked for your questions about Steph’s pregnancy and you guys sent SO many questions we decided to make it its own episode. How did you know you were pregnant?  How did you tell Josh? When did you tell your friends & family? What was your experience with the IUD? Will you use the same care provider as last time? When are you due? Will you find out the gender? Have the name discussion started yet? Have you had any morning sickness? Are you worried about the age gap between your first and second? How did you know it was the right time to go again? Are you nervous about going into the newborn phase again? Do you have a specific birth plan in mind? Do you have any exercise goals during pregnancy? What are you looking forward to about being pregnant outside of lockdown? Are you worried about making your pelvic floor/prolapse issues worse having a second child?  How are you going being pregnant and navigating through ADHD?   If you are on ADHD medication...do you have to stop or adjust during pregnancy? You mentioned Josh was feeling a little unsure about having a second child. How did you navigate this?  Will Josh be the primary caregiver again? What are your plans for mat leave?
