YUNGBLUD is on the podcast! YUNGBLUD (aka Dom Harrison) is in Australia for his IDOLS world tour and before his Melbourne show he stopped by the KICPod studio to sit down with Steph.

In case you missed it - Steph is a massive YUNGBLUD fan!

In 2023 we surprised Steph with a video call with him and you can listen to that episode here: https://pod.fo/e/222890 

In this very special episode, Dom speaks with Steph about his musical tastes, being a fan of Justin Bieber at the same time as Mick Jagger, meeting idols like Ozzy Osbourne, masculinity & androgyny, how his audience is changing, the idea of him being an overnight success or an industry plant, and lots more!

Self-awareness, Emotional Freedom Techniques, hypnotherapy.

These are just a few of the powerful mindset tools that we’ve built into the KIC app this year and they are all part of our new year challenge, alongside movement designed to complement each pathway.

This week we have Janey Martino (Kic CEO & founder of meditation app Smiling Mind) back on the podcast to discuss these tools - her experience with them, how she has used them with others & the monumental benefits she has seen from them, and how they work in the app. 

Plus Steph & Laura share the Kic app challenge they are taking on this new year.
