Jordan Lambropulos' incredible story of becoming a mum to twins
Jordan Lambropoulos was last on KICPOD in August 2023 when she told us her story of living with Chron’s disease and undergoing a stem cell transplant. This week Jordy is back for KICBUMP after giving birth to her twin girls Indigo & Capri in January. Jordy always assumed she would be infertile, so it was a huge shock to herself, and her medical team when she discovered she was pregnant, plus pregnant with twins! In this episode Steph catches up with Jordy to talk about her pregnancy, the complications with her Chron’s and wearing an ostomy bag, an emergency C-section, contracting congenital CMV, and what this means for her girls’ health and day-to-day life. FIND OUT MORE Follow Jordy on Instagram @jordydarian Our first episode with Jordy was called ‘Jordan Lambropoulos is now thriving after fighting for her life just 3 months ago’.

This gives us the ick more than anything else!!!
What gives you the ick?! Laura had a conversation with her chiropractor about icks and it inspired us to share ours. And we want to know yours! We’ll pop a question box on our Instagram story on the day this episode comes out. Please send us your icks! Also! Steph was singing along to a classic 90’s banger with her four-year-old son Harvey when she realised what the lyrics were actually saying and how inappropriate they were. So this week we throwback to some of the most iconic millennial tunes that we innocently sung as kids without realising what we were actually singing.

What the internet took away from Chloe Pink’s wedding day
Earlier this year, Chloe Pink married the love of her life, Toby. A few weeks later, when an article about their wedding was shared to Facebook, the comments section was flooded with heinous comments about Chloe’s appearance. Chloe spoke up about the comments, and continues to use her platform to call out fat shaming. In this episode we sit down with Chloe to speak about her wedding day, how the day was tainted by comments, the pressure of being in a relationship with an AFL player, why she continues to show up online in spite of the comments, and what she has to say about fat shaming in the health & fitness space.

This episode includes mentions of miscarriage. As a second-time mum, there’s a lot that Steph has figured out.

In this episode, Steph sits down with friend Nicole Maycroft to share about how anxiety & worry shows up in their lives and how they handle it. Plus - how they’ve both navigated going from one to two, moving house (and state) during pregnancy, and trying again after loss. This episode was supported by Elevit.
