Laura responds to Chris Griffin’s podcast - “I don't want my partner working unless she wants to work”
Chris Griffin is the host of the podcast 'The Pocket' where, on a recent episode, he spoke about his desire for a partner who doesn’t work unless she wants to. Laura spoke up about the episode throughout the week (and was overwhelmed by the response!) and in this episode Laura unpacks the problem with attitudes like these and why it’s so dangerous for women to be isolated from the workforce.

How Steph & Josh are introducing Harvey to four-year-old kindergarten - KICBUMP with Catharine Hydon
With Harvey now well into three-year-old kinder, we thought it was the perfect time to welcome back Catharine Hydon to KICBUMP to talk through the transition to four-year-old kinder, as well as answer all your kinder questions. Catharine Hydon is an independent early childhood consultant and Director of Hydon Consulting where she works with a wide range of organisations and governments. We had Catharine on KICBUMP last year, before Harvey started kinder. In this episode, Steph reflects on everything they’ve learned, including Harvey’s cognitive, social & emotional development since starting kinder, and also ask Catharine’s perspective on their next move to four-year-old kinder. We answer your questions too, like what children can expect in a standard day, when to start looking for a kinder, how often they should attend, and more. Thanks to the Victorian Government again for making this episode of KICBUMP possible.

We ask a dietitian how much protein we *actually* need
Out with protein...in with fibre? It feels like we’ve been told to eat ENORMOUS amounts of protein for a while now…but now TikTok is telling us that we need to forget about protein and focus on getting more fibre. This week we call our Kic dietitian, Liv Morrison, to help unpack it all. Plus Gayle King was one of the women who went to space recently and it looked like she would rather be anywhere else, so we asked you…what do you hate that everyone else loves?

How Courtney Ugle is breaking the cycle of domestic violence
Courtney Ugle is a proud Noongar woman from Bunbury, WA, and the founder of Waangkiny: an organisation committed to breaking down the stigma of silence in First Nations communities. Courtney lost both of her parents in tragic circumstances when she was young. She lost her dad first at 11 years old, and her mum when she was 19 years old. Since then Courtney has shared her story to ensure that no other young Indigenous person experiences what she did. Indigenous people are 33 times more likely to be hospitalised as a result of family and domestic violence, and eight times more likely to be killed as a result of family and domestic violence than non Indigenous counterparts, and in this episode Courtney helps us understand some of the reasons behind these stats. We were honoured that Courtney chose to share her story with us <3 GET HELP If this episode brings up anything for you and you need support, you can contact Lifeline for free 24/7 crisis support and suicide prevention services.
