Raj Barker is the founder of BURN by Body Medicine, a unique somatic movement method that combines yoga, mat Pilates, cardio and breath awareness. We’re so excited to have Raj teach her BURN classes at KICStudio this August and October and wanted to introduce her to you beforehand. In this episode, Raj speaks with Laura about how she first came to somatic movement during her time teaching at The Class in New York City, what defines a somatic movement practice, and why the language we use around nervous system regulation matters. She explores the idea that moments of nervous system dysregulation are a normal part of being human and how practices such as somatic movement can help us develop the internal resources to meet those moments with greater awareness and choice. WHAT IS BURN?  BURN by Body Medicine is a unique somatic movement method fusing yoga, mat Pilates, breath awareness and cardio (not too much). We use movement to create sensation and, beyond our thoughts, we practice trusting that sensation to steer our process. This is a music-driven experience, where you'll be guided through intentional and embodied movement, cultivating a fire to either burn through what is in your way, or illuminate what needs to be seen, ultimately forging a pathway to deeper self-connection and holistic well-being. KICStudio x BURN by Body Medicine  Raj will host two events at KICStudio on Saturday August 22nd and Sunday August 23rd. You can book now via the MindBody app: https://clients.mindbodyonline.com/classic/ws?studioid=5748787&stype=-7&sTG=31&sVT=17&sView=week&sLoc=1&date=08/22/26  WE MENTIONED Follow Raj https://www.instagram.com/rajbarker/?hl=en  Follow BURN https://www.instagram.com/bodymedicine_/  Find out more about Raj & BURN www.thebodymedicine.com  KICBump PODCAST Looking for our parenting podcast?

We got a DM from you asking us for our thoughts on the rise of rib recontouring surgery so this week we’re talking about it. In case it’s not come across your algorithm - rib recontouring is a surgery that fractures the lower ribs to reduce the size of the waist. We discuss what the surgery involves, what experts are saying about it, and the marketing of the procedure that makes it look more like a holiday than a surgery. Plus - Steph has nits, Laura had a colonoscopy, and Bailey Smith has been caught out. Update - in the listener DM we read out we say that the rib recontouring procedure removes part of the rib. The ribs are not removed in this procedure. We have updated the episode to make this clear. WE MENTIONED We spoke about Kellie Finlayson.

Hi!!! It’s been a little bit but we’re back with another WWYD episode! This week your questions are about in-laws and a dependent friend. QUESTION #1: My partner is the best but his parents don’t seem to like me. They live overseas and they have no interest in visiting us. I try really hard to involve them in our lives, but they never reciprocate. I can’t help but think I am not who they wanted for their son or their family.  QUESTION #2: I feel like I’m in a completely different life stage to my best friend and I don’t know what to do. I’d be very happy to let the friendship naturally shift, however she is incredibly dependent on me. How would you suggest approaching the friendship going forward without cutting it off fully, but empowering the both of us to be able to live more independently?  SEND US YOUR QUESTIONS If you have a question you want our opinion on, please slide into our DMs on Instagram!

 This week we’re talking about the expectations put on mothers sharing (or not sharing) motherhood online.  We know y’all love Shameless as much as we do, so you might have heard a conversation that Michelle & Zara had a few weeks ago about Margot Robbie and an article calling her out for pretending she’s “not a mum”.

Hello!! Every now and then we’ll be publishing episodes that we’re calling ‘Business Lessons’ where we speak with business owners, founders, and folks with careers that we admire and ask them about the lessons they’ve picked up along the way. For this episode - Laura sat down with Founder & Managing Director of FW, Helen McCabe. FW is an inclusive, member-led organisation committed to achieving gender equality in Australian workplaces. Previously Helen spent more than a decade as a journalist at News Corp and as Editor-in-Chief of The Australian Women's Weekly. In this conversation, Helen & Laura discuss the way that women most commonly describe their leadership style, the skills that good leaders need to master, differences between male & female leaders, introverts as leaders, and whether or not women still need to be likeable.  We also answer one of your questions: As a Gen X woman who built my career proving my commitment through hard work, I’m finding it challenging to adjust to younger generations who set very clear boundaries around their time and workload. How do I reconcile my work ethic in a workplace culture that values balance differently?
