KICPod

You know how much we love a trip down memory lane. Steph's been getting targeted with reels about what life was like as a kid in Australia during the late 90’s and early 2000’s, and so we wanted to ask you guys - what do you miss most about that time? We’re talking computer rooms, Dolly magazine, the Sims, calling the landline and talking to your friend’s mum, Video Ezy on a Friday night, and lots more!

Hello!! Every now and then we’ll be publishing episodes that we’re calling ‘Business Lessons’ where we speak with business owners, founders, and folks with careers that we admire and ask them about the lessons they’ve picked up along the way.
For this episode - Laura sat down with Founder & Managing Director of FW, Helen McCabe. FW is an inclusive, member-led organisation committed to achieving gender equality in Australian workplaces. Previously Helen spent more than a decade as a journalist at News Corp and as Editor-in-Chief of The Australian Women's Weekly.
In this conversation, Helen & Laura discuss the way that women most commonly describe their leadership style, the skills that good leaders need to master, differences between male & female leaders, introverts as leaders, and whether or not women still need to be likeable.
We also answer one of your questions: As a Gen X woman who built my career proving my commitment through hard work, I’m finding it challenging to adjust to younger generations who set very clear boundaries around their time and workload. How do I reconcile my work ethic in a workplace culture that values balance differently?

If you also have hundreds of unread texts, WhatsApps, voice memos, Instagram DMs, Facebook Messenger messages, Snapchats, EVERYTHING, you’ll know what we’re talking about.
This week we want to talk about how overwhelming it feels to keep in touch with our friends right now. We asked you guys how you’re coping with the overwhelm, as well as your ideas for how to maintain friendships in the real world and away from screens.
Plus! We posted a video about Josh (Steph’s husband) having a sex dream about Laura and the comments were HILARIOUS.

We loooove these episodes! This time your questions are about whether or not you’re overreacting over something your partner did, and how to let go of a long-term friend.
QUESTION #1: my partner attended an event that I said we couldn’t go to. Is it okay to be pissed off with him or am I overreacting?
QUESTION #2: how should I let go of a long-term friend whose negativity is bringing me down?

We watched Louis Theroux: Inside The Manosphere and we want to talk about it.
Plus - we share some disturbing data from a recent study that found that Gen-Z are more likely than Baby Boomers to hold traditional views about gender roles.
But alongside all of that we also share some positive stories: how men have escaped the manosphere, male creators we love, and your message about how listening to this podcast has given you the knowledge & confidence to start conversions about gender equality in real life.
WE MENTIONED
The miniseries we made about the manosphere was called ‘Am I Equal’. You can search for these episodes in your podcast app…
