Stephanie Miller - Co-Founder, Keep It Cleaner, Model & Entrepreneur

Hello and welcome to A Christmas Binge, your new favourite Christmas listening tradition.

The mince pies have been in the supermarket since October, maybe you've been Christmas shopping since August, but it's officially December so we're getting into full festive swing.

Deck the halls and jingle your... bells because we are officially back for Season Two.

My name is Brittany Stewart, I'm a Melbourne-based journalist, host of another Beauty Island, and an absolute Christmas obsessive. As in, every year for my birthday I have a Christmas in July in August celebration just so I can maximise the Christmas spirit and have an excuse to watch The Holiday and Love Actually several times a year.

Last year, as a podcast fanatic, I desperately wanted to find something festive to add to my podcast rotation in December to get me in the mood. (Because playing Michale Buble's Christmas album on repeat during the day just wasn't enough). I couldn't find anything, so I made the decision to make it myself. Christmas goodwill or purely selfish? You decide. Thankfully I was not the only one and It got such a brilliant reception from all of you, so here we are back again for season two!

Here's how it works: A Christmas Binge is all about celebrating the spirit of the season by chatting to interesting people to find out how they celebrate. Each episode, I'll sit down with someone and ask them about their Christmas Binges - the show or film they watch religiously to get them in the festive mood, what they eat and what goes on the dinner table come Christmas Day, and of course, their unique Christmas traditions.

It's light-hearted, festive fun to get us in the holiday spirit, because goodness knows after the year it's been we all need - and deserve it.

To kick us off, I'm delighted to be joined by the lovely Stephanie Miller. Co-founder of health and fitness app, Keep It Cleaner, Steph (or Steph Claire Smith as you may know her!) is a model and entrepreneur who has built a supportive and inspiring community and following of over 1.5 million. It's been a big year for Steph - Keep It Cleaner or KIC was relaunched and she announced that her and her husband Josh are expecting their first child early next year.

We talked about enjoying rather than stressing about food at Christmas, her inappropriate Love Actually cinema story that anyone in their mid 20s probably shares, the gorgeous festive tradition she's carried on from her Nana, and the clever conversation about Santa her mum gave her that she plans to do with her children, too.
