Do men need sex to feel love? A deep dive with relationship coach Megan Luscombe

On today's episode, a very important discussion is had about how normalising tanning culture needs to stop. Very sadly, writer and friend of Laura & Steph's, Natalie Fornasier lost her life after being diagnosed with melanoma, and although it shouldn't take tragedy to teach us important lessons, it has certainly given us the reminder we need. If you'd like to sign a petition to ban tanning accelerants, you can do so here. On a lighter note, Steph & Laura hear about the weird and wonderful things people have gotten up to in their sleep, and we find out whether Steph passed the 'best friend test' when Laura secretly set her up!   SPECIAL SHARES: Steph – You People, film on Netflix Laura – Palmer, film on Apple TV   KIC UPDATE: We have two new Treadmill Masterclasses in the KIC app today, instructed by Laura!

Ellidy Pullin's story is one of tragedy and grief, but also one of joy, hope and finding the light in a time of darkness. Her partner of 8 years and Olympic Snowboarder Alex 'Chumpy' Pullin tragically died when spearfishing in 2020, amidst the two of them trying for a baby. Hours after his death, doctors were able to retrieve his sperm and Ellidy underwent IVF to bring their beautiful daughter Minnie Alex Pullin into the world. In today's KICBUMP episode, Ellidy spreads awareness about the sperm retrieval process, and also speaks through the challenge of being pregnant while a best friend is going through fertility struggles and miscarriage. Ellidy hosts a LiSTNR podcast called 'Darling, Shine!' and has written a book called 'Heartstrong', both of which delve deeper into her story. You can donate to the Chumpy Pullin Foundation here, which breaks down barriers to provide support & inspiration for every Australian to participate & grow through Sport & Life.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
