When we have big relationship questions, we ask Megan Luscombe! Megan is a relational strategist with over 14 years experience working with individuals, couples & businesses. We love her pragmatic approach to answering our relationship questions and we try to have her on the podcast every couple of months to share her wisdom <3
This time Laura came to the episode with her own Roman Empire: do all couples have the same fight? And why? And how do you stop it!?
Plus - what is cheating? Arguments over phones in relationships, boundaries vs control, going to bed angry, the conflict waiting room, and more!

This week we’re talking about Trimester Zero - the practice of spending months (or years!!!) preparing your body to conceive a baby. You mightn’t be surprised that we have a LOT of thoughts about it (not good ones!) and so in this episode we discuss what is actually worth considering before trying to conceive.
Then - Laura took one for the team happily volunteered to watch MAFS and she wants to talk about it - her & Steph’s previous encounter with the male stripper friend, the vows, the flowers, the families, and a mantra that we love, actually.

Hello!!! This year we’re mixing up what we do with our Wednesday episodes and bringing back something we LOVE but haven’t done in a long time: answering your DMs!
This week we’re answering your questions about splitting costs in a relationship & using sex toys.
QUESTION #1: I do the food shop in my relationship and I’m buying my boyfriend food that I never eat. It’s starting to add up 🤑 Should I suck it up or say something?
QUESTION #2: I’m 31, I have a baby, and I’ve never used a vibrator before. Is that weird?
If you have a question you want our opinion on, please slide into our DMs on Instagram! We’re @kicpod. All questions will be anonymous <3

This week we’re checking in on our screen time! Last year we both set the intention to reduce our screen time and this week we’re checking in again see how we’re going.
Then…the Blake Lively/Taylor Swift text messages got us thinking…what’s the thing on your phone that you’d be most embarrassed for someone to find? We think we’ve discovered something that could be the most embarrassing thing of all.
And! Laura vs Dalton vs 3 boiled eggs 🥚
