Let’s talk about sex! We had the chance to sit down with certified sex and relationship practitioner and somatic therapist, Georgia Grace, so we asked you for your sex questions.

We talk through: mismatched libidos (or desire discrepancy) in relationships, how to increase desire, what to do when one partner likes gentle sex and the other likes rough sex, getting desire back after pregnancy, pain during sex, and how often is normal.

Yes we KNOW it’s February and everyone has already done their words of the year but it still counts if you do it in February so we’re doing it this week!

Plus you might remember last year Steph told a story about the time she waxed a…sensitive area of Josh’s body. And, guess what? We have an update.

This week it’s all about sleep! With baby number two on the way, Steph has been thinking about how she’ll approach sleep this time around and if she & Josh will use the same techniques as they used with Harvey.

To help - Steph sat down with developmental paediatrician (and KICBUMP fave!) Dr Billy Garvey. Billy is a senior specialist at one of Australia’s largest tertiary paediatric hospitals with over 20 years experience working with families and children and is the father of a three-year-old and one-year-old.

In this episode they share their own experiences of sleep training and some of the moments they’re less proud of, before getting into some of the practical steps to a good night’s sleep, including routines, different methods of sleep training, sleep hygiene, teaching sleep as a skill, plus taking the pressure off both kids and parents.
