About this episode

It's winter in Australia, and particularly in the cooler states it is miserable and dark and gloomy most days, so it's easy to feel a serious lack of motivation. In Steph & Laura's catch up today, they address the 'winter blues' and hear from Melbourne Psychologist Taash Balakas about what Seasonal Affective Disorder is, what can help, and things we need to remind ourselves in the cooler months.

We also hear some of the hilarious/mortifying/embarrassing stories you guys sent in about what happened at the gym, and it sparks quite a debate about whether most people wear undies underneath their activewear or not!
