Hannah Dower is a PhD student working with the Western Bulldogs AFLW club to investigate the impact of the menstrual cycle and contraceptive use on elite athlete performance. Hannah has a Bachelor in Sports Science, a Masters in Exercise Physiology and a 10-year career in strength and conditioning so she is EXTREMELY qualified to answer all our menstrual cycle and PMS questions!
You might remember an episode from a few months ago where we shared about our experiences of PMS. We received so many messages from you guys saying you felt exactly the same so we decided to bring in an expert to explain everything about the menstrual cycle and PMS.
We speak about what the menstrual cycle actually is, what is happening with our hormones at various stages of our cycle, the importance of tracking your cycle, the difference between PMS and PMDD, and if we should train differently at different stages of our cycles.
WE MENTIONED
Hannah recommended the book âBlood: The science, medicine and mythology of menstruation by Dr Jennifer Gunter https://www.hachette.com.au/dr-jennifer-gunter/blood-the-science-medicine-and-mythology-of-menstruation
The episode in which we talked about our own PMS symptoms is called âSteph's one and only one night standâ from July 2024. You can listen here https://pod.fo/e/257ddf
The International Association For Premenstrual Disorders (IAPMD) has more information about PMDD https://iapmd.org/toolkit

Weâve seen some TikTok trends weâre not sure about and we want to talk about them. The first is the âmorning trendâ - where people sleep in a range of convoluted and questionable products on their face and in their hair only to âshedâ it all in the morning. The second is âokra waterâ and its dubious health claims.
Then we discuss a question we saw in Womenâs Health Australia: âshould I be offended if my partner doesnât orgasmâ?
Plus we put a poll on our Instagram story asking about the orgasm gap in your relationships and 5% of you said you orgasmed more, 38% of you said your partner orgasms more, 30% orgasm equally with your partner, and 27% just wanted to suss the results đ

Dr Golly is a paediatrician (heâs actually Harvey's paediatrician!) specialising in unsettled babies & poor sleep, and a father of three. His third childrenâs book âOur Baby, Our Baby What Did You Say?â reveals what toddlers can pick up in babies better than parents....which is a very convenient topic at the moment as Steph & Josh navigate how they tell their three-year-old Harvey that heâs getting a sibling!
In this episode Steph, Josh & Dr Golly discuss the best way for parents to tell toddlers that they are having another baby, what kind of behaviour parents can expect of their toddlers during this time, dividing responsibilities between a newborn and a toddler, and the importance of toddlers retaining their sense of autonomy.

If youâre a long-term listener of KICPOD youâll remember Producer Mandy! You might also remember that Mandy was producing the podcast when Laura opened up about her fear of not coping with kids, and Mandy said she felt exactly the same. Fast forward just over one year later and Mandy is now the proud mum of her first daughter, Lyla.
In this episode we asked Mandy back in the studio to sit on the other side of the desk and share about how she went from being terrified of having kids to being so stoked to be a mum. We also touch on Mandyâs decision to have a planned cesarean and the judgment she anticipated and copped from the decision, her journey to becoming a mum, and her advice to anyone who is feeling overwhelmed by the decision.

Mandy speaks in this episode about going to therapy to unpack her fears. Itâs called âLaura expresses her fear of not copingâ and you can listen here https://pod.fo/e/224085

Tarang Chawla became an activist against menâs violence after his sister Nikita Chawla was murdered by her partner in 2015.
Weâve been talking about violence against women a lot on the podcast this year (and every year) because unfortunately itâs an issue thatâs not going away. In this episode we invite Tarang onto the podcast for the third time to talk about menâs violence, the impact of alcohol and gambling on violence, and what you can do as a bystander to safely stand up to street harassment.
Plus Laura shares about her experience witnessing and standing up to a group of drunk and aggressive young men at the AFL Grand Final and what Tarang wouldâve done in the same situation.

Froomes (aka Lucinda Price) is a writer, comedian, broadcaster and author of âAll I Ever Wanted Was To Be Hotâ. Her book is a memoir-meets-manifesto about her experience with anorexia and binge eating disorder as well as exploring the pressures on young women to look a certain way.
In this special conversation we sit down with Lucinda to find out why she got a nose job and breast augmentation, and how she feels differently about each surgery, how moving from Melbourne to Sydney and working in media pushed her to change her body, the moment she knew her âhealthy eatingâ had gone too far, and how she has reached a place of total recovery.
TRIGGER: We talk about eating disorders, weight loss, and disordered eating in this episode. If you need support, or want support to help someone you know, you can contact The Butterfly Foundation on 1800 ED HOPE or 1800 33 4673.

If youâre an Australian millennial woman, you know Tammin Sursok. She played Dani Sutherland in Home & Away in the early 2000âs and Jenna Marshall in Pretty Little Liars. Tammin has been in the public eye since she was a teenager. Faced with that pressure, Tammin struggled with eating disorders throughout her teen years and early 20âs.
Now Tammin has two daughters. Her experience with eating disorders informs the way she speaks to them about food and their bodies in the hope that they will never go through what she did.
In this episode Steph sits down with Tammin to learn about how eating disorders took over Tamminâs life, becoming a mum and adjusting to her postpartum body, and how she responds when one of her daughters calls herself fat.
Trigger: in this episode we discuss eating disorders. If you or someone you know needs support, you can contact the Butterfly Foundation 7 days from 8am - midnight AEST on 1800 33 4673.

Allira Potter was never the sporty kid growing up. Like many of us, her memories of running at school were discouraging at best. But earlier this year, when she felt her mental health declining, Allira knew she needed to make a change, so she pulled on their runners and started her running journey. Alliraâs first run sucked. But she stuck with it and it's changed her life.
In this episode Allira shares how her running journey started, her goals starting out versus now, the impact of training with her partner, how she feels about sharing her runs on social media, not comparing herself to others, and learning that she can walk and still be a runner.
Plus we start with an oracle card reading from Allira and learn more about her journey to spirituality.

Alexis is the host of the Do You F*ing Mind podcast, she has a Masters of Neuroscience, and you guys love her!
Seriously, in a recent audience survey we asked you which guests you loved and OVERWHELMINGLY you guys said Alexis, so we brought her back on the podcast to talk about purpose and turning desperation into attraction to get what you want.
In the first part of the episode we talk about purpose: what is it, how to find it, how it should feel in your body when you experience it, and how to find a purpose that serves you but also includes others.
Then in the second half of the episode we talk about one of Alexisâ most popular podcast episodes âTurning Desperation Into Attractionâ and Alexis explains how wanting something too much could be the thing thatâs pushing it away.

This week we read an article from The Cut called âWhy Are Friendship Breakups So Brutalâ and we want to talk about it. We share our perspectives on friendship breakups, why they hurt more than romantic breakups, and ghosting friends vs trying to work on the friendship.
And then we answer a question from you guys about our own friendship! You asked: âwhat is one thing you would wish for the other person?â
We love getting questions from you guys! Every now and then weâll put a question box on our Instagram story but you can slide into our DMs anytime.
