Today we are joined by the talented Elle Ferguson, founder of Elle Effect. Elle speaks about her childhood, what travelling 5 hours a day to get to school taught her about life, and how she later transitioned from working for some of Australia’s largest fashion companies to going out on her own in the beauty industry. Elle opens up about the initial difficulty of being taken seriously in the industry as a woman, the importance of her beautiful partner Joel and how to turn self doubt into your superpower! Elle is unapologetically herself, we hope you love this one as much as we do.

KIC SPECIAL SHARES Laura - A special message from one of our community members: “I just wanted to thank y’all all the way from Colorado for what you’re doing. My whole family just did your live-stream workout. My dad has Parkinson’s meaning he’s a high risk. He can’t go to the gym, and working out is his only means of keeping his symptoms at bay. Today we were all able to workout through your live and had a blast. You’ve made a personal difference in my families life by doing this and I just can’t thank you enough for your light and love and encouragement during this season!!! Thank you thank you.” Steph - Book by @vexking: Good Vibes, Good Life.

With Valentine’s Day coming up this week we thought it would be special to discuss the most important relationship we have throughout our life; the relationship with ourselves. The term; ‘loving yourself' is something we see on social media all the time (which we love), but it is a lot easier said than done. In today's episode we are joined by Kat John, an Inspirational Coach who has been through so much in life. Kat shares her own personal journey with self love, and how she was able to turn around from a darker mindset and find her own joy. We then touch on our own journeys, what has helped us shift our mindset in the past and share a little exercise you can do at home. Lastly, we also reached out to Jessie Quirk, one of our KIC girls from the community to speak to her own self love journey. You can find more of Kat here : @kat.John and www.katjohn.com.au And for Jessie: @kicgirl_jq KIC SPECIAL SHARES Steph: Quote by Emma Stone; "I remind myself to be kind to myself and, as slightly ridiculous as it may sound, to treat myself in the same gentle way I'd want to treat a daughter of mine.

Welcome to season 2 of the KIC POD! In today's episode we chat all about routine! One of the most common questions we get is 'how do you get back on track and back into routine?' We thought we would kick off the year with a discussion on how we both approach our routine and get back into it after a break and invited our PT from our KIC program, Danny Kennedy on for his expert tips and tricks! On another note, we along with the rest of Australia, have been feeling incredibly helpless during the devestating bushfires. We wanted to support Wildlife Victoria for all of their incredible efforts in saving native wildlife.
