What not to buy someone for Xmas!

What not to buy someone for Xmas!

In Steph & Laura’s catch up today, they discuss some of the WORST gifts they’ve ever received, and we hear some absolute shockers you guys have gotten too! Plus, Steph has a big life update to do with her living situation.. something she never thought she’d have to do again in her life!   SPECIAL SHARES: Steph - Don’t Worry Darling, film with Harry Styles Laura – Quote from Brené Brown’s book Dare to Lead - “If you are not in the arena getting your ass kicked on occasion, I’m not interested in or open to your feedback. There are a million cheap seats in the world today filled with people who will never be brave with their lives but who will spend every ounce of energy they have hurling advice and judgment at those who dare greatly. Their only contributions are criticism, cynicism, and fear-mongering. If you’re criticising from a place where you’re not also putting yourself on the line, I’m not interested in what you have to say.”   KIC UPDATE: Stay tuned for KIC's Black Friday sale going live this Thursday 24 November via Instagram @keepitcleaner or via the website www.keepitcleaner.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
