  • How to practice self-compassion - with Dr Emily Musgrove
    Jun 17 2025

    Dr Emily Musgrove is a clinical psychologist and the resident psychologist on one of our favourite podcasts - The Imperfects. Dr Em has just published her first book ‘Unstuck’ and we were so excited to have her in studio to talk about it!

    Laura sits down with Dr Em to speak through what it means to be unstuck, avoidance, the inner critic, self-compassion, why treating ourselves with self-compassion doesn’t mean we’re being lazy, rumination and people pleasing.

  • Misogyny & financial abuse - the red flags - Am I Equal? a miniseries with Laura Henshaw
    Jun 11 2025

    ‘Am I Equal’ is a three-part KICPOD miniseries exploring the push to return to traditional gender roles, the manosphere and the real life impact this is having on us, our relationships and on society.

    In this episode we explore the real-life impact of traditional gender roles, including financial abuse.

    First - Laura speaks with gender equality activist, Gina Martin, about the push towards traditional gender roles being led by Gen Z men, as well as benevolent sexism and how to spot it online.

    Then - Laura speaks with financial advisor Jessica Brady about financial abuse: what is it, how to spot it, and what you can do if you suspect you or someone you know is in a financially abusive relationship.

    This is the third episode of the ‘Am I Equal’ miniseries for now. We will publish a fourth episode with your stories of how this series has impacted you. If you’d like to share your story - you can send us a voice memo via @kicpod on Instagram.
