Kolide Goss with Ella & Steph

Our favourite friend, Miss Emily Morgan has lived a life (even though she's only 25). Our best friend's little sister (who also works for us a couple of days a week) has traveled the world and lived the Below Deck dream! She dishes all the TEA on what it's really like to work on the superyachts while globetrotting some of the most beautiful places on earth BUT it ain't all diamonds and rose ladies. Emily is the definition of ICONIC - she is literally the life of any conversation and brings the vibe wherever she goes. We hope you enjoy this chat as much as we did.

Last week we pledged to do the podcast on the same day at the same time but then Steph got gastro and all our plans went out the window. Instead, we waited until our weekend away and got our partners Jarchy of Tiktok and Ned from Hello Sport to come on the poddy. After a big wedding weekend to celebrate Emma and Miles in Jervis Bay, we got the poddy gear out and chatted absolute sh*t for an hour. Lots of lols and garbage for your listening pleasure. ENJOY!

Love a good cringe moment to spice up your Monday! This week we goss about our long weekend escapes to the country and dig up the dirt on each other by reading our old FB status' from back in the day. A mix of Steph realising she was and still is a freak with weird/lame quotes and revealing Ella's continued love of updating everyone on her travels, alternative/trendy photos, and an era of tacky hair extensions. ENJOY!

This weeks episode comes with a trigger warning that we will be dealing with issues pertaining to child domestic violence and physical and sexual abuse. If this brings up any triggers for you, we have included support and links in the show notes. 

Jasper Bailey is an incredible, resilient and courageous young man. His story is one of intense and devastating childhood trauma filled with violence, sexual assault and being legally disowned by his own parents. With the help of his incredible Grandparents, Jasper miraculously carved out a life and a career for himself. After years of therapy, Jasper is still working his through the trauma and abuse that no child should ever endure. He is truly an incredible young man. His therapist once told him, ‘never give away too much of your power,’ and today - Jasper is reclaiming his power and telling his story.

Off the back of last week's menty b and as if fate was working like magic, the psychologist that Steph has been trying to get into finally had an opening. With God on her side, she decided to take life by the horns and deal with her problems head-on. We recap the session and talk about our own experiences with therapy (Ella as a child and Steph sporadically over her life) and how these experiences change as you get older and by default, deal with more shit.

We also get our favourite Mamas on the pod, Nicola and Chrissy Doll, to share their own experiences about having anxious wrecks for children - from bed wetting to refusing to sleep without our parents, we were unusual little girls.

In all seriousness though, therapy/counselling is always a good idea - it's great to unpack your problems, however great or small, with a professional that can give you important insights and techniques on how to work through these issues. Therapy should never be stigmatised and as a wise man once said: 'a problem shared is a problem halved.'

This week Steph accidentally dropped the clutch and had a Thursday night belter.

Despite being severely hungover, she came in on Friday to record the podcast and was supported by Ella (who was fresh as a daisy) and Ruby, her sister. Look, to be honest, this poddy is a bit all over the shop and emotional (as all hangovers are) but we show the mental head noise of a hangover, in REAL-TIME. We've all been there and it's hell - so if you're in the same boat today, don't be too hard on yourself.

We laugh and we cry, we chat about the night that was, having big nights out as a way to ease pain and stress (which is never a good idea) and some of our worst hangovers.

This week we have our close friend, dog whisperer and all-round saviour Nikki Teo from East Side Dogs joining us on the pod to talk us through our greatest obsession - you guessed it - dogs, dogs and more dogs. 

When Nikki rescued Steph's now dog, Kobe, their family was about to meet their greatest blessing (despite his naughty tendencies). Kobe is undoubtedly a challenging dog and it was through Nikki's skill and expertise that we realised dog training isn't simply about correction - there's so much more to the psychology, compatibility and energy that we bring to the table with our dogs. When Ella got her beautiful yet giant rotti, Tonka - she also experienced challenges and Nikki once again worked her magic and saved the day.

Nikki's journey began when she had to bear witness to her two dogs, Archie and Tommy, fighting mercilessly out of the blue and from there, she made it her mission to learn why this was happening and how to fix it. After months of struggling with trainers that simply didn't understand a holistic approach to her dogs' needs, she was determined to meet and train with the GOAT - César Millán. And that she did - via a sneaky little trespass into his LA home (yep, wild!)

If you find yourself questioning some of your dog's behaviours - then this is the chat for you. Nikki is genuinely obsessed with dogs and her charisma and energy makes you permanently want to be in her orbit. She is warm, caring and generous with her time as a trainer and we can both guarantee that if you meet her and stick with her methods - your life with your dog will change forever.

The state of the world right now is a lot. With the war in Ukraine, the devastating floods on the Northern Rivers and a new strain of Covid - what the f*ck is going on?

As I’m sure you’re all aware, Ella and I are terrified of giving birth. Now that we’re officially over 30, the chat around having babies comes up at least once a day. There are so many overwhelming moving parts to consider: fertility, pregnancy, physically giving birth and after all that, actually doing the parenting for THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. 

Stefani is a longtime friend of the pod, with her husband Tom Birmingham being the co-host of Hello Sport with Ella’s fiance Eddy. As a Mother of two beautiful girls, Evie and Zoe; Stef’s two birth stories could not be more different. From trauma to euphoria, Stef talks us through the radically different experiences she had giving birth to Evie and Zoe and her advice along the way. 

We could listen to Stef speak for hours on end. Her knowledge, insight and advice on the process was so considered and thoughtful, we left the chat feeling pretty hopeful about it all (and that’s a lot for us!). We hope you find this chat as enlightening and special as we did.

This week we sit down with our incredibly talented graphic designer, Gen Meighan.

Today comes with a trigger warning that we’ll be talking about issues around disordered eating and mental health. If this may be a trigger for you, we suggest skipping todays ep and we’ve included some helplines and resources after our #KoldieAdvice.

We've been wanting to share Gen's story for a while now. When we first met Gen and hired her shortly after, we admired her maturity and talent. Gen lights up any room she steps into. She is vivacious, quirky and a little bit weird - which for us, are the perfect ingredients to making a GW (good woman). But, her journey to becoming this sophisticated and enigmatic young woman has been a long one, filled with challenges, pain and suffering. We had no idea that during school, she suffered from overwhelming anxiety and obsessive thoughts, which led to her developing an eating disorder - a way to assert some control in a world that she felt constantly judged from.

Gen is only 22 but her wisdom and self reflection truly shows that there is always light at the end of the tunnel. As women, living in an increasingly judgmental world fuelled by social media, we can all relate to aspects of her journey and we hope this episode can help those who might resonate. This is a brave, courageous and raw account of Gen, as told by her. We love that despite it all, she can always have a giggle.
