There’s no perfect in parenting - KICBUMP with Lael Stone

You can’t be what you can’t see and for most of us (for better or worse) our only parental role models will be the people that raised us. So are we destined to raise our children in the same way that our parents raised us? And if you want to parent differently…how can you unlearn the way you were brought up?

Lael Stone is a speaker, educator and author who helps adults understand the imprints we learned in childhood that shape how we understand the world and how we parent.

In this conversation Steph and Lael speak about parenting acting as a mirror to your own experiences, the importance of having enough support to parent in the way you want, and Lael offers words of encouragement to any parent thinking they’re not doing a good enough job.

How Melissa Leong defines success (and why Masterchef wasn’t it)

How Melissa Leong defines success (and why Masterchef wasn’t it)

Melissa Leong is a food writer and a former judge on Masterchef Australia. This year Melissa published her memoir ‘Guts’ and we were so excited to finally have her on the pod to talk about it!! In this episode, Melissa sits down with us to talk about how she balanced writing a book about herself with keeping things personal, the pressure of taking on one of the most high profile jobs in the country (as a judge on Masterchef) and all the expectations that came with it, how she thinks about success, burnout, and the freedom that comes from bucking societal expectations.
