Hello!!! What are we oversharing today? First up, we're getting a little delusional. With the end of the year fast approaching, we're talking about manifestation, the power of positive thinking and whether you can actually call the things you want into your life. We're getting into self-belief, overthinking, feeling deserving of good things and the things we'd like to leave behind (and call into our lives) before the new year. Then, we're getting into the Disney adult discourse. A recent viral article in The Cut has declared that Disney adults are cool again, but Steph has some thoughts about the idea that there's a right or wrong way to be a Disney fan. We're asking whether we've become so obsessed with categorising aesthetics that we can't just let people enjoy things.  Steph’s Recommendation: Laura’s Birth Story Laura’s Recommendation: The Courage to Be Disliked: How to Free Yourself, Change Your Life and Achieve Real Happiness   A huge thank you to Denada for supporting this episode of the Steph & Laura podcast. ⁠⁠Delicious ice cream that just happens to be better for you.

Hello!!! What are we oversharing today? Laura has taken out the entire Steph & Laura team with gastro, so Michelle Andrews is stepping in for Steph today. But just how much of a Steph & Laura girl is she? We’re putting her to the test with the important questions, from sharing towels and supermarket aisles to what actually happened in the delivery room. Then, we’re getting into a much bigger conversation. New research suggests Australia has the highest estimated prevalence of anorexia and bulimia in the world, with around one in 100 Australians affected. We’re unpacking what the findings tell us, sharing some of our own experiences with disordered eating and body image, and talking about the pressures that shape the way women feel about their bodies. And finally, it’s time for divorce court. With the end of the year approaching, we’re looking at why relationship breakdowns tend to peak around this time before putting some listener-submitted husband behaviour on trial. From secretly changing the light bulbs to bringing home a dog without asking, we’re deciding what’s a genuine marriage dealbreaker and what’s just part of being married.

Hello!!! What are we oversharing today? First up, we're making some new laws. Getting gastro twice in three weeks? Illegal. Being hungover with little kids? Also illegal. We're sharing the everyday indignities we'd like to see outlawed, from rogue chin hairs to radio ads with sirens. Honestly, we think we'd make excellent lawmakers. Then, we're taking things into the bedroom. We're talking about the realities of long-term relationships, why getting in the mood can feel like another thing on the to-do list, and what actually helps us keep the spark alive. Plus, Steph has been doing some research (reading smut), and Laura has a cautionary tale about a sex position book. In this episode, Steph recommended 'The One About Matthew Perry' on Netflix, and Laura recommended ⁠'Nobody Wants This' season 3 on Netflix.

Hiiiii!! What are we oversharing today? Sooooo it's spooky season, and we're starting with a scary game of Trick or Treat: the friendship question game that brings all of our skeletons out of the closet. Then, we're getting into another terrifying topic: phone addiction. We're sharing screen times and our top tips for spending less time glued to our phones!

Hi!! What are we oversharing today?  Steph spills the tea on her trip to Paris Hilton's iconic Slivington Manor and addresses some of the thoughts that came off the back of the event she attended over there last weekend. Then, we're talking all about the Victoria Secret runway and our thoughts on Barbara Palvin walking the show 6 weeks postpartum. Finally, People Magazine released its 'Sexiest Man Alive Readers' Choice Poll' results and, naturally, we think we can do better. So we created our own (hint: think supermarket aisles and coffee orders). A huge thank you to OnePass for supporting this episode of the Steph & Laura podcast.

Happy Hump Day!!! What are we oversharing today? Should you tell your friend they're dating a loser? We're diving into a DM from listener Emma and unpacking how to approach that very awkward conversation with your friends. Then, Laura is bringing a surprise segment to the show... it's 2026, and it's time to clean up our digital footprints. In this episode, Steph recommended her collab with Outside Beauty Skincare.

Naturally, Laura has some very important house etiquette tips for Steph before she steps into her new best friend's mansion. We're also sharing our go-to tips for walking into an event solo, chatting to strangers without the awkward small-talk spiral, and how to keep a conversation flowing.

Hi!!!!! What are we oversharing today? A viral debate from The Cut has us asking the ultimate friendship question: "Why are you telling your boyfriend about my sex life?" Is sharing everything with your partner a sign of intimacy, or does it make you a bad friend? We're unpacking where we draw the line, plus revealing our 10 unwritten rules of friendship (including a few chosen by YOU!). Then we dive into the big question: is joy actually a skill you can learn, or does chasing happiness risk slipping into toxic positivity? Plus, we're sharing our favourite ways to bring more whimsy into everyday life. The TikToks we mentioned during this segment are from users ⁠@oliohanian⁠, ⁠@murugimunyi⁠, and ⁠@marthaawalsh⁠. In this episode, Steph recommended brand Lovaan, and Laura recommended organisational hacks from TikTok user Amy Abode.

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. New KIC product alert!

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.   A huge thank you to Maybelline New York for supporting this episode of the Steph & Laura podcast.

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. A huge thank you to Maybelline New York for supporting this episode of the Steph & Laura podcast.

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?
