- Episode 11: For The Love Of School
Welcome to episode 11 of StroongeCast with Andre and Kirsten Louis.
In this episode we talk about our school memories, the trips, the food, the technology, the experiences we had and how they differ from each other.
Andre attended a specialist boarding school for 8 years, where as Kirsten attended an all-girl school. As a result, their memories are very different from one another and there are few common or shared experiences.From Kirsten's trip to Russia and having to open her suspicious-looking suitcase in the airport which was taped together, to Andre's experience of being left stranded in Reading train station for hours, and having to get a cab to school, this episode is quite a long one.

Welcome to episode 10 of StroongeCast with Andre and Kirsten Louis.
In this episode we discuss the idea behind 'Pink Jobs' and 'Blue Jobs' with regards their so-called 'traditional' roles in the household.
Blue jobs are traditionally male-centric and Pink jobs are traditionally female-centric in-nature.Being modern twenty-first-century humans we don't really believe in these designations, but we thought it would be interesting to discuss them anyway.We're curious what you think about them yourselves.How do you designate jobs in your house?If you're living alone ,are all jobs pink and blue?If you live in a same-sex household, are all jobs one colour?Of course these aren't at all meant to be taken seriously and we're not here to cause offence, merely to have a little bit of fun with a quite outdated topic.

Welcome to episode 9 of StroongeCast with Andre and Kirsten Louis.
In this episode we hear from Kirsten about her struggles around anxiety and tiredness, how she copes on a daily basis, and the steps she takes to make it through.
We wanted to raise awareness around anxiety and also chronic fatigue, and to let those who may be suffering in silence know they are not alone. Talking to someone you trust and that cares for you, can help.
Seeking therapy can also be a viable solution and does not make you weak.Want to hear more or get in-touch?

Welcome to episode 7 of StroongeCast with Andre, Kirsten, Jake and Alice Louis.
In this episode we thought we'd bring the kids in for a bit of a chat.
As a blind dad, Andre's had the question several times of 'what's it like to be guided by your son? What do you get up to?'Jake is very much like his dad, and Alice is very much like her mum, so we say that each of them is a 'Mini Me.'
It works out very well, as we all have someone we can go places with and do fun activities with.Of course we do go places together as a family, but more often than not, Jake is out with Andre and Alice is out with Kirsten, when such things do arise.We'd like to do a follow-up episode with Jake and Alice soon, so if you have any questions for them, please let us know.

Welcome to episode 6 of StroongeCast with Andre and Kirsten Louis.
In this episode, Kirsten has a collection of "Icks" - annoying habits or traits that would be dealbreakers in a romantic partner.
From chewing with their mouth open, to wearing trousers too low, the list is extensive, unusual and in-places very silly such as 'Not wearing a seat-belt.'.

Welcome to episode 5 of StroongeCast with Andre and Kirsten Louis.
In this episode, Kirsten has a collection of husband and wife-related trivia to read to us, and Andre will react to them. He hasn't been prepped ahead of time, so doesn't know what's coming.
Many of these statements are incredibly bizarre and would certainly make for some unusual talking-points around the dinner-table with your partner.Please tell us your thoughts, and which ones made you laugh, scoff or just say 'What the actual?' we'd love to know.Some of our sources are below:
