Steph & Laura

Oversharing? Obviously. Listen to hosts and best friends Steph Claire Smith and Laura Henshaw every Monday and Wednesday.

Shameless Media

Hi!! What are we oversharing today? 



We're talking about the Berlin Marathon runner caught 34km into the race... on the back of a bike. Which got us thinking: when have you been caught red-handed? Steph reveals her most guilty teenage moment involving MMS and the horror of your parents reading your phone bill.Plus, after watching Sense and Sensibility, we’re unpacking birth order theory. Are eldest daughters really responsible overachievers, while the youngest siblings are charismatic attention seekers? We’re putting the stereotypes to the test.

'My phone bill exposed my nudes to my parents'

Helllllo!!!



What are we oversharing today?

We’re starting today with a NEW SEGMENT: Welcome to the Steph & Laura courtroom, where we’re putting the internet’s most debated opinions on trial. This week’s cases include: should you use a fresh towel every time you shower? Do you owe your friends a reply within 48 hours? And the big one… should every adult know the phonetic alphabet? (Spoiler: turns out neither of us do.)

Then, we’re diving into a conversation sparked by the comments on a reel we posted last week: the labels “girl’s girl” and “pick me girl”. What do these terms actually mean? Are they helpful ways to talk about behaviour and social dynamics, or do they sometimes oversimplify people? We’re unpacking it. 



In this episode, Steph recommended YouTube channel @farmon212th, and Laura recommended Next Gen Chef on Netflix.

The "pick me" label (and step into our courtroom)

Hi!! What are we oversharing today? 

We're breaking the recommendation rules... we saw Verity, and we have THOUGHTS.
Then we’re asking: Is facing life with urgency actually good for us? We’re getting into why we’re always rushing, and whether everything really needs to be done right now. Finally, we're talking all things Margot Ackerly (...Robbie). Laura has some strong feelings about it, while Steph and Laura share their very different reasons for changing, or not changing, their names after marriage. Plus, we asked YOU what you think about taking your partner's name when you tie the knot.

What are we oversharing today?



Steph has realised she’s suddenly into Dancing With The Stars… and we have one very important question: have we officially aged up? We’re unpacking the tell-tale signs that you’re entering your *older* era, sharing our personal giveaways and hearing yours too.

Then, we get into the big relationship debate: should your husband be your best friend? A viral piece from The Cut introduced us to the phenomenon of “mankeeping” and, naturally, we have thoughts. 



In this episode, Steph recommended The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, and Laura recommended Crew Girl.

Welcome to Steph & Laura!

Dr Fatima Khan is a women’s health doctor. She has trained in psychiatry, obstetrics and gynaecology, and general practice and has an Advanced Certificate in Menopause Care. Fatima is the author of the new “Hormone Health is Mental Health: How perimenopause hijacks your brain — and how to reclaim yourself”.
 We loved this title and the concept that hormone health is mental health so we wanted to have Fatima on the podcast to talk about it! 
 In this episode we speak about the menstrual cycle and what is happening to our hormones at each stage of the cycle, the characteristics of estrogen & progesterone, PMDD, and the importance of small daily practices to support our nervous systems.

Reflecting on the last 4 years of the podcast 💜

We’re opening the mailbox and answering your dilemmas!
 QUESTION #1: My parents won’t stop making comments about if & when I break up with my partner. They seem to prefer my sister’s boyfriend even though my partner & I have been together longer. It’s making my partner anxious. How do I talk to my parents about this and set boundaries? 
 QUESTION #2: My best friend is keeping big life events a secret from me. She’s bought houses and sold houses and bought a new car and hasn’t told me until it’s all completely finalised.  Am I overreacting? Do I feel entitled to her news when I shouldn’t be?

Cait Miers is a surf, fashion & lifestyle photographer, and the creator of Laugh Lines: a global portrait movement to take 1,000 makeup-free portraits of women around the world. Through Laugh Lines, Cait is on a mission to challenge beauty standards, reclaim self-worth and dismantle the idea that beauty needs fixing.
 In this episode, we speak with Cait about why she started Laugh Lines, how women have reacted to seeing photos of themselves makeup-free, the BTS of starting a business, and a reminder that we are all so much more than the way we look!

Steph’s transformative retreat

It’s time to open the mailbox and give you our thoughts on your most personal questions. This week your questions are about copping judgment for breastfeeding in public and where to draw the line with drug taking.
 QUESTION #1: I’m pregnant for the first time and my mum has been making judgemental comments about women who breastfeed in public. She thinks it’s attention seeking. I don’t know how I’ll feel about breastfeeding yet but I’m not sure how to deal with my mum’s comments if & when she makes them
 QUESTION #2: My boyfriend is thinking about taking drugs at a music festival. He knows drugs are a big no for me. Is this a reasonable deal breaker for me?

Our thoughts on Nara Smith & “doing it all”

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 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.

Rib recontouring…we have thoughts!

Hello!!! It’s been a minute but we’re back to give our two cents on your tricky questions. 
 Hiiii! It’s time for another WWYD episode! This week your questions are both food and body-image related.
 QUESTION #1: Should I take a risk and pursue my dream career before it’s too late, or should I prioritise the financial wellbeing of my relationship and return to my corporate career? 
 QUESTION #2: My best friend isn’t interested in my child. Where do I draw the line between our different life stages and her just being a bad friend?

How Laura is rebuilding her confidence

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?

WWYD: my in-laws don’t like me

Steph watched the new Netflix documentary about Kylie Minogue. In the documentary, Kylie reflects on the insecurities that have stuck with her throughout her career, like that she didn’t deserve her success or that she doesn’t have a good voice.
 This got us thinking about the small comments that were made about us when we were younger that unfortunately have stuck with us for decades.
 Plus! Laura and Dalton have been playing pranks on each other and we’re sorry if that’s not what you signed up for on your Monday morning.

Steph & Laura reflect on one of their hardest seasons in their friendship

It’s time to open the mailbox!
 This week you sent in questions about picking bridesmaids and your partner being uncomfortable with you having a male friend.
 QUESTION #1: I have 3 best friends and a sister which makes choosing bridesmaids really difficult. I’d love to have all of them but having bridesmaids is very costly. How would you break it to a best friend that you won’t be having her as a bridesmaid?
 QUESTION #2: I’ve recently become friends with my partner’s (straight, male) friend. My partner has mentioned a couple times that he feels at times uncomfortable with the dynamic. How do I navigate this without feeling like I’m being told who I can or can’t be friends with?

How it feels to close down a business - with Pleasant State Co-Founder Sian Murray

As millennials we are SO excited to see The Devil Wears Prada 2, but something we can’t get over is how the cast look exactly the same as they did in the original movie from 20 years ago. 
 It made us reflect on our expectations of celebrities and ageing, if we see them differently to people we know IRL, and how we both feel about ageing right now.

Melanie C on reinventing herself after The Spice Girls

 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”.
 It inspired us to share our own experiences of sharing motherhood online and how Laura’s opinions have changed since giving birth to Atlas.

Growing up in the 2000's vs now

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?

Why does it feel so hard to keep up with our friends?!

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?

WWYD: can I be pissed at my partner for this?

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.

 The miniseries we made about the manosphere was called ‘Am I Equal’. You can search for these episodes in your podcast app…

How should I introduce sex toys with my partner? with sex therapist Georgia Grace

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.

WWYD: my mother-in-law is obsessed with my partner

We both watched the new Netflix documentary series 'Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model' and we have thoughts. We talk through what we remember of the original TV show and what it taught us as teenagers about what it meant to be a model and how that matched our experience working as models in NYC (Steph) and Europe (Laura). We also discuss the similarities between ANTM and reality TV these days and the lengths that some contestants will go to for fame. 
 Plus! Guess which clothing brand slid into Steph’s DMs 👀 And what is the brown stain on Laura’s top this week!?
 P.S We accidentally got a bit swear-y in this episode so best not to listen to this episode with kids around.

What is cheating? with relationship expert Megan Luscombe

This week we’re talking about Trimester Zero - the practice of spending months (or years!!!) preparing your body to conceive a baby.

 Then - Laura took one for the team happily volunteered to watch MAFS and she wants to talk about it - her & Steph’s previous encounter with the male stripper friend, the vows, the flowers, the families, and a mantra that we love, actually.

So, what is hybrid training!? with strength & mindset coach Mills Stokes

We thought we’d do something a little bit different this week and invite relationship coach and friend of the podcast, Megan Luscombe, on for one big deep dive segment!
 A few weeks ago Megan left a comment on one of our reels around the idea that “men need sex to feel love”. We wanted to unpack this with Megan so we got her in the studio to break down this idea for us.
 Plus we talk about the pressure for women to get back into sex postpartum, sex vs intimacy, using sex as a bandaid to cover up for a lack of vulnerability, and lots more!

Laura shares her birth preference

Laura was sent a video of a male fitness influencer telling women that they use pregnancy as an “excuse” to gain weight and you better believe we have thoughts on it!
 Plus! Laura was watching Modern Family and was inspired to ask you…what’s the most outrageous thing your mother in law has ever done? We loved your responses!
