Winter is upon us and so this week Steph and Laura chatted to psychologist Bec McWilliam all about ‘winter blues’ and how seasonal changes impact our mood. In this episode Bec enlightens us why our serotonin and melatonin levels take a hit during winter and how we can combat and be more adaptive to the weather changing. In addition Bec shares the importance of honing in and reflecting on our values in order to make the best possible decisions for our wellbeing and our goals. We hope this chat reminds you to be kind to yourself during the winter months and to know that it’s normal to feel a little down when there’s less sunshine. If you’re looking to reflect on your values, you can find Bec’s Value Exploration Worksheet here.SPECIAL GUEST: Bec McWilliam  SPECIAL SHARES: Steph - The Staircase on Binge Laura - Conversations with friends on Amazon Prime KIC UPDATES: Workout In Winter with KIC Get your winter workouts sorted for only $25 when you use the code WIW50 at the website checkout.Head to www.keepitcleaner.com and sign up now. SPONSOR SHOUTOUT: Shop La Roche-Posay’s range of skincare at www.laroche-posay.com.au.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this episode of the KICPOD, Steph and Laura spoke to journalist and published author Gina Rushton. After being faced with the decision about whether she herself wanted children, Gina was inspired to investigate why we now feel so unsure of whether we want to become parents.This discussion reveals the modern complex considerations that people, in particular women now face when deciding on whether they want to bring a child into the world. From navigating the relationship with yourself and your personal circumstances to the wider issues of climate change and inflation, it’s no wonder that we are now thinking long and hard about the decision to have a child.We hope that this episode brings comfort to those unsure of whether parenthood is for them and to remind you that it’s totally normal, valid and justified to be confused about what your future might hold when it comes to parenthood.Gina's first book The Most Important Job in the World is out now.  SPECIAL GUEST:Gina Rushton SPECIAL SHARES:Steph - The VoiceLaura - A reminder about how wonderful public transport is KIC UPDATES:We celebrated World Pilates Day.
