Busting breastfeeding myths - KICBUMP with Dr Kavita
Dr Kavita Krishnan is a Lactation Specialist, member of the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine, and a mum of three, so she’s had experience both first-hand and in practice teaching thousands of women how to breastfeed. 96% of women initiate breastfeeding but by 4 months fewer than 16% exclusively breastfeed and 83% of women stop breastfeeding earlier than they’d like. In this episode, Steph sits down with Kavita to discuss some of the reasons why women stop breastfeeding. Steph shares about her own experience breastfeeding Harvey, including nipple pain, low supply, and the early stages of mastitis and Kavita demonstrates the best position for a baby to latch with the help of a glass of water and a straw.

Everyone told Froomes she was hot. This fuelled her eating disorder
Froomes (aka Lucinda Price) is a writer, comedian, broadcaster and author of ‘All I Ever Wanted Was To Be Hot’. Her book is a memoir-meets-manifesto about her experience with anorexia and binge eating disorder as well as exploring the pressures on young women to look a certain way. In this special conversation we sit down with Lucinda to find out why she got a nose job and breast augmentation, and how she feels differently about each surgery, how moving from Melbourne to Sydney and working in media pushed her to change her body, the moment she knew her “healthy eating” had gone too far, and how she has reached a place of total recovery. TRIGGER: We talk about eating disorders, weight loss, and disordered eating in this episode. If you need support, or want support to help someone you know, you can contact The Butterfly Foundation on 1800 ED HOPE or 1800 33 4673.

Tammin Sursok battled eating disorders for 8 years. This is how she’s raising her two daughters - KICBUMP
If you’re an Australian millennial woman, you know Tammin Sursok. She played Dani Sutherland in Home & Away in the early 2000’s and Jenna Marshall in Pretty Little Liars. Tammin has been in the public eye since she was a teenager. Faced with that pressure, Tammin struggled with eating disorders throughout her teen years and early 20’s. Now Tammin has two daughters. Her experience with eating disorders informs the way she speaks to them about food and their bodies in the hope that they will never go through what she did. In this episode Steph sits down with Tammin to learn about how eating disorders took over Tammin’s life, becoming a mum and adjusting to her postpartum body, and how she responds when one of her daughters calls herself fat. Trigger: in this episode we discuss eating disorders. If you or someone you know needs support, you can contact the Butterfly Foundation 7 days from 8am - midnight AEST on 1800 33 4673.

How running changed Allira Potter's life
Allira Potter was never the sporty kid growing up. Like many of us, her memories of running at school were discouraging at best. But earlier this year, when she felt her mental health declining, Allira knew she needed to make a change, so she pulled on their runners and started her running journey. Allira’s first run sucked. But she stuck with it and it's changed her life. In this episode Allira shares how her running journey started, her goals starting out versus now, the impact of training with her partner, how she feels about sharing her runs on social media, not comparing herself to others, and learning that she can walk and still be a runner. Plus we start with an oracle card reading from Allira and learn more about her journey to spirituality.
