KICPod

We loooove these episodes! This time your questions are about whether or not you’re overreacting over something your partner did, and how to let go of a long-term friend.
QUESTION #1: my partner attended an event that I said we couldn’t go to. Is it okay to be pissed off with him or am I overreacting?
QUESTION #2: how should I let go of a long-term friend whose negativity is bringing me down?

We watched Louis Theroux: Inside The Manosphere and we want to talk about it.
Plus - we share some disturbing data from a recent study that found that Gen-Z are more likely than Baby Boomers to hold traditional views about gender roles.
But alongside all of that we also share some positive stories: how men have escaped the manosphere, male creators we love, and your message about how listening to this podcast has given you the knowledge & confidence to start conversions about gender equality in real life.
WE MENTIONED
The miniseries we made about the manosphere was called ‘Am I Equal’. You can search for these episodes in your podcast app…

Hello! First we want to talk about dreams! Yes we know hearing other people’s dreams is SO boring but we wanted to know - why do we have romantic dreams about people who aren’t our partners? Should I feel bad about it? And who did Josh (Steph’s husband) have a sex dream about?!
And! Margot Robbie got a bob and it reminded us of Steph’s big haircut a couple of years ago. Now that Steph’s hair is officially long again…does she miss the bob?
Plus! A life admin accomplishment.

So as well as her 3B’s, Martha also shares about her pregnancy this time around, navigating HG (Hyperemesis gravidarum) for the second time, while building a new business, Michael, Lucius, and more!
