In our final episode of the year, we wrap things up with the most exciting news… Steph is pregnant! 🤍
This week we unpack her journey so far — the highs, the hectic lows, the constant nausea, the cravings, the anxiety, and the absolute magic of it all. We chat about what the first trimester has really been like behind the scenes, how she found out, navigating life and work feeling so sick, and what this next chapter looks like.
A cosy, honest, slightly chaotic catch-up to close out 2025.

This week we sit down with our acupuncturist Rebecca Mar Young from Red Tent Health to talk about everything — her journey into Chinese medicine, pregnancy support, women’s health, digestion, hydration, and how these ancient beliefs connect back to motherhood. We even dive into the idea that our children feed off our energy, and why looking after ourselves is the most important thing we can do.

In this episode, I’m unpacking the absolute chaos with husband Eddy Simpson trying to get a simple, clear answer about my galactocele. I went through multiple appointments, different diagnoses, clashing opinions, and weeks of stress before finally landing with a breast surgeon who gave me the clarity and direction I needed. No mum should have to navigate this in early postpartum — especially while dealing with the noise and judgement around formula feeding. I hope this helps even one person 🤍

We call this one the variety pack: one bad flight, one sick baby, and a healthy dose of suburb shopping and complaints. Just your average Kolide week 💕🎙️

This week on Kolide Goss, we sit down with our beautiful friend Elo, whose story is nothing short of extraordinary. Diagnosed with late stage 2 / early stage 3 breast cancer at just 33 — while 13 weeks pregnant — Elo began chemotherapy at 15 weeks and faced two types of breast cancer, including triple negative.
What followed was a journey of strength and surrender: 16 rounds of chemo, the premature birth of her baby boy Max at 26 weeks, months in the NICU, another melanoma diagnosis, and finally, major surgery and radiotherapy — all within one year.
Through it all, Elo’s resilience, humour and grace shine. She shares what it’s really like to navigate treatment while pregnant, life in NICU, recovery, motherhood, and finding perspective when everything changes.
A story of bravery, love, and the power of a mother’s instinct — this is one you won’t forget. 💗

Kolide Goss is back! After a little break (babies, weddings, and life in between), we’re finally launching our first episode of the season. In this catch-up chat we share quick life updates, our plans for the episodes ahead, and plenty of tangents — including the topic on everyone’s lips, The Summer I Turned Pretty. It’s relaxed, a bit random, and the perfect way to ease back into your weekly dose of Kolide.

Guys this week we have our incredibly talented friends, Casey James and Carla McGraw joining us on the pod to talk about their incredible journey to starting their SOLD OUT brand RÉFORME BEAUTY. Their power lip has single handedly changed our lives and when they restock in Jan, it will change yours. WE DO NOT LEAVE THE HOUSE WITHOUT IT.
RÉFORME BEAUTY was born from a shared dream to rewrite the rules of beauty. Their lip contour, POWERLIP, is just the beginning of their beauty empire and as usual we chat all things business, gossip, life and loss.
We know you will love these incredible ladies and their brand.

We never thought we’d see the day that a doctor joined us on the pod, and to be honest, we couldn’t be more grateful to have Dr. Kieran McCaffrey with us. Having trained at Royal North Shore Hospital, Dr. McCaffrey is an obstetrician and gynaecologist. Fun fact: he is one of 11 children (10 boys, 1 girl). Yes, you heard that correctly. His dad is an OB, and two of his brothers are also doctors. Genius genes!
We asked Dr. McCaffrey every question under the sun about pregnancy and birth, including (but not limited to): when to take your undies off (vitally important), how to limit interventions, managing mental health and migraines during pregnancy, forceps delivery, low-lying placenta, an en caul baby (yep, that’s French for "under the veil" for you non-bilingual folks), what a teratoma is, and everything in between.
We hope you enjoy!
