This week on the Forkin' Good Podcast, Simon and Kate are back together after Simon’s Vietnam adventure for a completely unfiltered catch up covering everything from teeth, handbags and Vietnamese coffee… to behavioural change, recycling trolls, gut health, cancer awareness, and why we seriously need to talk about poo more.

The conversation dives into:
• Simon’s trip to Vietnam and the surprisingly calming chaos of Saigon
• Kate’s work turning online trolls into advocates
• Why behavioural change matters in health and waste reduction
• Upcoming Gut Foundation conversations around bowel cancer awareness
• The importance of listening to your body and getting checked early
• Mental health, CBT therapy, stress, family illness and perspective
• The moments in life that remind us what actually matters

It’s funny, emotional, random, honest, and probably one of the most real conversations we’ve had so far.

If this episode makes you laugh, think differently, or reminds you to book that health check… share it with someone who needs to hear it.
