Welcome to What Else?, a video mini-series proudly presented by Nespresso. This is our first time doing full-length video episodes, and we’re so excited to share this series with you. Over three episodes, we’ll be stepping into the hour that usually belongs entirely to yourself…the honest, unfiltered window between 7 to 8am, before the day begins. We’ll sit down with some of the most enamoured women in our orbit to uncover who they are beyond their titles, routines, and public personas. For our second episode, we’re stepping inside Laura Henshaw’s world. Laura is a podcaster and author, and she co-founded KIC with her best friend Steph Claire Smith in 2015. What started as a recipe eBook has evolved into one of Australia’s largest digital wellness platforms – their app has been downloaded over 1 million times, and it’s one of the country's fastest-growing wellness communities. We talk about all this and much more in this episode, from the wellness myths she wants to debunk to the way motherhood has transformed her approach to exercise. Love the podcast?

Oh my goodness, lot of hairspray- Mm-hmm ... a lot of product. What are you exfoliating your sculpt with? We can't just spray a lot of stuff in our sculpt. It has to come out, just like our skincare.

So welcome back to What Else, a miniseries brought to you by Nespresso. In this series, we spend the morning with three women who inspire us, taking a closer look at the rituals, choices, and quiet moments that shape their days beyond their work.
