If you haven’t yet come across the hilarious Samantha Andrew on TikTok or Instagram, oh boy you’re going to want to follow her after today’s chat! Sam is a TikTok sensation, comedian, actor, composer, writer and content creator, but she also isn’t afraid to show a more vulnerable side of herself to her audience. Sam's partner Cody is a trans man, and recently the pair shared online their extraordinary experience of Cody freezing his eggs, documenting each stage and educating people about what they mightn’t have known was even possible. In today’s episode, Sam opens up about what this process was like for them both. She also gives us a huge hit of nostalgia with lots of chat about Country Road school bags and Angela Anaconda, and hilariously describes the way 12-year-old boys try to troll her online.

While we’re taking a break from our regular KICPOD episodes over the holiday period, we hope you enjoy this bonus episode that’ll help KIC start your 2023 in the best way possible! Today is all about goal setting and how to have the best mindset heading into the new year. We all tend to set these big goals for ourselves only to fail within the first few weeks. But there are ways to approach goal setting that’ll not only help us break them down to smaller and more achievable goals, but also help us keep up the motivation to achieve them. KIC head trainer Danny talks us through the steps involved to give yourself the best chance of achieving your goals this year, and Steph & Laura delve into why we shouldn’t focus on the number on the scales when it comes to our health goals.   KIC UPDATE: We’ve just launched new KIC Programs! These 3 progressive programs are tailored to your fitness level and include a 4 week KICSTART program, an 8 week KICFIT program, and a 12 week KICPRO program. Our New Year sale is still on, so if you’re keen to join KIC, you can save 50% off our monthly subscription by using the code NEWYEARSALE23 at checkout.   SPECIAL MENTION: In today’s podcast, Laura discusses a helpful Ted Talk on why dieting does more harm than good, which you can listen to here: “Ted Talk: Why Dieting Doesn’t Usually Work, with Sandra Aamodt”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
