Simran Kaur is the founder of Girls That Invest: a multi-million-dollar money media company with the #1 investing podcast for women where she breaks down the intimating world of investing and growing wealth, minus the jargon.

Alongside relationships, career, and nutrition, money is one of the other big things that we want to make a change about in the new year.

In this episode we speak with Simran about the stories we tell ourselves about money, doing a stocktake of how we’ve spent money, identifying our money values & spending accordingly, the danger of comparison, and why it’s so important for women to be financially literate.

Enrolments for the Girls That Invest masterclass are now open https://girlsthatinvest.com/ 

The book Simran mentioned is ‘Die With Zero: Getting All You Can from Your Money and Your Life’ by Bill Perkins https://www.harpercollins.com.au/9780358100515/die-with-zero/

If there’s one word we see more than any other in our DMs…it’s wedding! This week we respond to one of questions about what we would do differently if we had our weddings again and we chat through an article from The Cut where wedding planners point out the spenno wedding things that they think you could do without.

Plus! Steph fell asleep during a massage recently which made us wonder what happened during your massages.

Also…Steph forgot to include a handy life admin hack in her ins & outs last week so she brought it with her this week.

Megan Luscombe has coached individuals and couples in relationships and business for over 12 years and she is our go-to for any relationship question!

If 2025 is the year you want to prioritise your relationship…we made this episode for you.

This week we ask Megan all the questions that we know come up at this time of year when we’re thinking about our relationships: how should I feel, how do I start a big conversation, how often should I do a relationship check-in & what should I ask, should we have the same values, should I give my partner an ultimatum if I’m not getting what I want, and why setting a goal for a weekly date night might not be the answer.

This week we share the things that we want to do more of in 2025 and the things we’re better off leaving in 2024. 

Plus we speak with body confidence coach and Kic trainer Sami Rose about body image in the new year. Every day Sami works with clients to improve the relationship they have with their bodies and so we wanted to know what she's hearing from women in the new year and how she works with clients who want to change their bodies. 

WE MENTIONED

Sami has been on the KICPOD before. Her episode is called ‘Breaking the cycle of binge eating & bettering your mindset, with Sami Rose’ from May 2023 and you can listen here https://pod.fo/e/238cb2 

Sami's 28-day 'Befriending Your Body' project starts on Monday February 3rd. You can find out more here: https://samirose.com.au/28dbybp/

We’re back!! We loved our break but we’re so excited to be back in your ears again.

This week we catch up on what we got up to over the holidays, including two weeks in a house filled with 14 people (Steph) and exploring the Victorian coastline (Laura). Plus we debate the golden rules of group travel.

Then we discuss the tan lines trend taking over TikTok. Tanning isn’t a trend and skin cancer is no joke. Protect yourself and others.

Liv Morrison is an accredited clinical dietitian & nutritionist. As Kic’s in-house dietitian, Liv approves every recipe you see in the Kic app.

This time of year is notorious for fad diets and toxic health messages about restriction and deprivation, so this week we wanted to set the record straight.

We asked Liv about how we can eat better, including adding foods in, instead of taking them out, the importance of eating a variety of different foods, the benefits of each macronutrient (protein, fat & carbs), our hunger and satiety hormones, and more.

KIC UPDATE

Our 4-week Feel-Good Challenge is on now. Choose from strength, Pilates or HIIT with 3 x brand new workouts per week and 1 x meditation per week. Plus annual subscriptions to Kic are now 40%! Sign up at kicapp.com or download the app from the App Store and Google Play Store

Last year Steph loved her chat with Tori & Lily on the podcast ‘Raw Reality’ so we thought we’d share it in case you didn’t hear it! They speak about how Steph trained during her pregnancy with Harvey, body changes during pregnancy, and how Harvey taught Steph to be kinder to herself.

We’ll be back with a brand new catch up next Monday <3
