Big week of updates this week, y’all! Steph is loving a new way of connecting with Billie and investigating some medical things with Harvey. Laura feels like a mixed berry smoothie and she’d love to be deconstructed, please. Plus - Laura & Dalton’s have some new calendar invites.
And! We open the mailbox and hear Angelica’s bub’s transition to the cot.

Kris Byrnes became a step-parent when she was 24, before she’d had children of her own. Now Kris & her husband are raising 4 children together - two from her husband’s previous relationship and two of their own.
Kris has taken everything she has learned from step-parents and now offers coaching to others who are navigating blended families.
In all the years of making KICBump, we’ve never dedicated an episode to step-parents, so we were thrilled to cross paths with Kris!
In this episode Steph sits down with Kris to learn more about her experience becoming a step-parent at 24, her & her husband’s decision to have children of their own, and the challenges that Kris encounters in her coaching work - including deciding whether or not step-parenting is for you, parental alienation, what step-parenting does to your romantic relationship, and more.

We’re doing something different today! There’s no Steph or Laura this week - instead we handed the mics to their husbands Josh & Dalton and Dr Zac Seidler - the Global Director of Men’s Health Research at Movember.
Earlier this year Movember published their ‘More Than A Provider’ report based on a survey of 1,216 Australian fathers with at least one child aged between 0-10 years old. The report examined the intersections between identity, health & health service for men as they transition to fatherhood.
In this special episode of the podcast, Zac sat down with Josh & Dalton to discuss the report and their own experiences of fatherhood, including who they can reach out to for support and how their relationships with their own fathers has impacted their parenting style.
