We all need a safe space to unwind, connect, and feel understood. Sometimes that looks like a sweaty gym session, and other times, it looks like curling up with a cup of tea and listening to a conversation that feels like a warm hug. That is exactly what we created the KICPod to be.
If you are looking for a wellness podcast that keeps it real, you have found your home. Hosted by our founders, Steph Claire Smith and Laura Henshaw, the KICPod is your weekly dose of D&Ms (deep and meaningfuls), expert advice, and unfiltered chats about the messy, beautiful reality of life.
Whether you are on your morning commute, going for a hot girl walk, or cleaning the house, we are right there in your ears, navigating this journey with you. As a leading podcast for women, we dive into the topics that matter most to us—from mental health and body image to relationships and career advice.
How KICPod started
The KICPod was born out of a desire to connect with our community on a deeper level. We realised that while our workouts and recipes were helping people feel good physically, there was a whole other side to wellness that needed attention: the mental and emotional side.
We wanted to create a platform where we could have open, honest conversations without the highlight reel of social media. We wanted to strip back the filters and talk about the things we all go through but often feel too afraid to say out loud.
Since launching, the KICPod has grown into a thriving community. It has become a space where we learn together, laugh together, and sometimes even cry together. It’s not just a fitness and lifestyle podcast; it’s a friendship circle that you can tap into whenever you need a boost.
What we talk about on the KICPod:
We believe that wellness is holistic. It’s not just about how many kilometres you can run or how many vegetables you eat. It’s about how you speak to yourself, the boundaries you set, and the way you navigate the ups and downs of life.
On the KICPod, we cover a wide range of topics designed to support you in every aspect of your life.
- Mental Health: We have open conversations about anxiety, burnout, and the importance of therapy. We want to normalise these feelings and provide practical tools to help you cope.
- Body Image: We challenge diet culture and societal standards, encouraging you to embrace your body with kindness and respect.
- Relationships: From dating and breakups to long-term partnerships and friendships, we explore the complexities of human connection.
- Career & Ambition: We chat about finding your purpose, dealing with imposter syndrome, and balancing work with the rest of your life.
- Health & Wellness: We bring on experts to debunk myths and provide evidence-based advice on everything from hormones to gut health.
As one of the top health and wellness podcasts for women, we are committed to bringing you content that empowers and educates.
Episode highlights & expert guests
Over the years, we have been lucky enough to host some incredible guests. We’ve released hundreds of episodes, featuring psychologists, dietitians, doctors, authors, and inspiring everyday people with powerful stories to tell.
We don't shy away from the hard stuff. We’ve had vulnerable chats about grief, fertility struggles, and overcoming adversity. But we also make time for the lighthearted moments, sharing funny stories and relatable fails that remind us not to take life too seriously.
Some of our community's favourite episodes have been the ones where we simply sit down and chat about what’s going on in our lives. These "catch-up" episodes feel just like a coffee date with your best friends.
- Tune in to hear candid conversations with experts who break down complex topics into simple, actionable advice.
- Listen to inspiring interviews with women who are changing the game in their industries.
- Laugh along with our "Dilemmas" segments, where we answer your burning questions.
