Summary
Trigger Warning: This Episode has discussion about Eating Disorders
Jenni is delighted to be joined by Australian Wellness Influencers - Laura Henshaw and Steph Claire Smith.
Laura and Steph have a joint following of 2.5million followers, and are co-founders of the leading holistic health and wellness app, Kic (scroll for a promo code)!
The ladies met while working as models during Melbourne Fashion Week in 2013, and instantly bonded over the physical and mental struggles they faced with body image, triggered by the modelling industry. One thing is for sure, you don't have to be a model, male or female to feel this struggle...
This ignited a desire to start a movement that would help others build body confidence in a way that works best for them, putting a stop to harmful mentalities and toxic trends disguised as ‘wellness’.
Kic has grown into an empowering holistic wellness community and offers loads of workouts (Hello KICRUN! 5-10k Programme), recipes and meditations, from a hand-picked team of trainers and health experts.
In KICRUN, Laura guides you every step of the way via positive audio - whether you're new to running, or want to improve your time! It's genius.
They're currently in the UK meeting fans, and doing community events – including a run club on the 14th of September at Hyde Park in London, so you should definitely go and see them if you can. Atleast go, and thank them for bringing over this hot weather from Australia!
You can get a one-month free subscription to Kic, live until the end of the year! Sign up via the Kic website: kicapp.com/uk/, select the monthly subscription and enter the promo code: RUNPOD to redeem a free month of Kic. You can then download the app via the App Store or Google Play and log in.

| 0:14.0 | As you well know, I'm Jenny Faulkner here to guide you through another gathering of the group. |
| 0:19.0 | And today, well, I've got two guests. |
| 0:20.9 | It's like I buy one, get one free. |
| 0:22.2 | That's what I'm going to say. |
| 0:23.5 | Steph Claire Smith and Laura Henshaw, |
| 0:25.8 | they're over in the UK at the moment from Australia, |
| 0:28.4 | and they are here to talk running, which I love. |
| 0:32.1 | They're both models, influencers, fellow podcasters. |
| 0:35.8 | They met and bonded Melbourne Fashion Week, is that correct? |
| 0:39.3 | And after both kind of like, recognising the pressure on models to look a certain way, |
| 0:44.3 | well, they decided to get together and encourage wellness and promote positive health movements. |

Only one of you is actually a runner. Yeah. Well, I mean, we like to say, Kik, that any, well, if you're able to run, then you can be a runner. |
| 1:13.3 | So, because I think for the longest time I always said, I'm not a runner, I'm not a runner. But I do run and I can't run, so there's no reason. I can't say that. But she's the, you know, five days a week, loves it. OK, so you're like me, you're the hardcore, enthusiastic runner, |
| 1:09.9 | and then you're the one that's in denial. |
| 1:11.7 | I just get random times that I'm probably twice a month, I will run. Yeah. But that's the thing. I think that people always go, well, I'm not a runner. I don't consider myself a runner because I only run occasionally. I'm still a runner. Yeah, I know. 100%. I'm getting there. Yeah, we get there. Okay. And you, but you do run all the time. |
