A topic too many people avoid, with Tarang Chawla
Tarang Chawla is an Indian born Australian writer, lawyer, activist, and host of Future Women’s Podcast ‘There’s No Place Like Home’. He became an activist against men’s violence after the tragic murder of his sister Nikita Chawla in 2015, and has told his story on KICPOD before, speaking about the raw reality of domestic abuse and family violence. You can hear that episode here. Today, Tarang addresses an issue that is sadly still very prevalent even in 2022; racism in Australia. If talking about racism makes you feel uncomfortable, you’re not alone. The reason a lot of us shy away from this topic is because although we have the best intentions, we are fearful of saying the wrong thing. Conversations like today’s episode are so important to help educate us on the right questions that we need to be asking, and the right responses to have when the topic is brought up.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A cancer diagnosis 3 months after giving birth – KICBUMP, with Kellie Gardner
Kellie Gardner was living her best life with her partner, AFL player Jeremy Finlayson, falling pregnant and giving birth to their beautiful baby girl Sophia in August last year. Then, when Sophia was just 3 months old, Kellie was diagnosed with stage 3 Colorectal Cancer, which she later found out was actually stage 4. After spending a large amount of Sophia’s life in hospital, Kellie wants to warn other mums and women to listen to their bodies and get checked if anything doesn’t seem right. We’re so grateful for Kellie coming on to tell her story, and are glad to hear she’s now doing well.
