I have the wonderful Alice Harris on today to chat all things mental health, life balance and self love. Alice is part of the brains behind the social content you see on the Kic socials. We talk all about how she landed her job with the team at Kic, how she takes care of her mental health through the crazy balance of full-time work, uni and LIFE, and how grateful she is for her family. I loved this and I hope you do too!!

Heeeeello!!!
Second episode of 2024 and you know it's gotta be about sun safety of some sort because it is IMPORTANT here in Aus. Today we're answering the question: What is melanoma?
We chat a bit about the skin and then dive into what melanoma is, the subtypes, some stats (which will surprise you I promise) and we finish off with some risk factors. I also chat about whether it is possible to get a healthy tan and some of you might be sad with the answer. Hope you learn something new today!

Hellllllo my guys welcome back to HYH 2024!!!
So excited to kick off the year with Darcy Truin. Darcy is an absolute gem who so kindly said yes to coming on to chat about his experiences with bullying, anxiety and depression and learning to be resilient. Darcy is a mental health advocate, runs the youth conversation, is the year 12 school captain at his school and has been invited to be a part of a youth advisory group for the Victorian Government. At 17, he’s dealt with and overcome some crazy stuff. If this episode doesn’t give you hope for the future, I don’t know what will. Hope you love it!!

We're baaaack!!
So stoked to be back in the studio to release the first episode of 2024. Today, we work through 8 of my 'ins' and discuss why each one is important to bring into your 2024 routine. The list includes no phone in the bedroom (hint: blue light), walking to wake up (hint: circadian rhythm) and space for silence (hint: improved concentration). Can't wait to keep learning with you guys throughout the year! Thanks for being here.
