Speaker 4: get up and have a walk and it was freezing.

25
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 4: Can I just tell you it was freezing? It is

26
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 4: very cold in Sydney right now. I think they're saying

27
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 4: it's the coldest day on record this year, so.

28
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:15,479
Speaker 2: Well well done.

29
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 1: A Brisbane person getting up breeze by night walking in the.

30
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 3: So I went for walk.

31
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 4: I saved some lemons, so I had some lemon water,

32
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 4: not the usual thing I would do at home, but

33
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 4: I had that before I left, and I made sure

34
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 4: that I grabbed a few things from the buffet. Oh,

35
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 4: I like it, but that's it now I'm straight here.

36
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:34,759
Speaker 2: Do you have a.

37
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: Set morning routine or is this something that you just

38
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: mold depending on where you are what season.

39
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 4: It is absolutely and it's always been my dream to

40
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 4: have like a morning that extends to eleven and then

41
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 4: start work at eleven. I know, and I used to

42
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 4: when I used to spend a lot of time in

43
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 4: the US. That's how I used to live there, and

44
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 4: it used to be fantastic, you know, do a nine

45
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 4: o'clock class instead of a six o'clock class my dream,

46
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 4: and it was so.

47
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 3: Lovely, you know.

48
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 4: But I haven't really achieved that yet, But yeah, I do.

49
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 4: I definitely have a morning routine because and generally a

50
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 4: whole fitness routine because I think those rituals and that

51
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 4: consistent behavior really sets you up for success.

52
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 3: So yeah, I do. Do you want to know it?

53
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 2: Yes? What are some of those rituals?

54
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 3: Okay?

55
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 4: So in the morning, I do sort of a sort

56
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 4: of a meditation. I think it's just a fancy word

57
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 4: for breathing meditation for me. Anyway, maybe I'm just not

58
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 4: seeing it.

59
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 3: For what it truly can be.

60
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 4: But I just lie in bed and really like, I

61
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 4: feel like I get my best thoughts and ideas in

62
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 4: the morning. Like when I wake up, it's like my

63
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 4: filing system has actually worked and I get these pops

64
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 4: of ideas. So I usually write things down and then

65
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 4: just sit and think about what I'm going to do

66
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 4: that day.

67
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: So while you're lying in bed at four thirty usually,

68
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 1: well that's early, I know, but that's when I naturally

69
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: wake up.

70
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:51,799
Speaker 2: What time are you going to bed?

71
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:53,519
Speaker 3: Nine o'clock?

72
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 2: Nine thirty? Okay, Yeah, you're one of those people. Yeah,

73
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 2: five am.

74
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 4: Club Not always like I get up it o'clock when

75
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 4: I'm training with my trainer, but some of the days

76
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 4: when I'm just going for walk or something, I do

77
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 4: five thirty.

78
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 3: But I genuinely wake up.

79
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 4: So that's why I have that time to stay in

80
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 4: bed and do some thinking and writing some things down.

81
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,959
Speaker 1: Not always, but has it been like this since you say,

82
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: started Laurna Jane, or has this evolved, like your approach

83
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: to health and wellness over the years.

84
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 4: I've always been a morning person, and you have to

85
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 4: remember I started as a fitness instructor, so six o'clock

86
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 4: classes have always been my thing. So I've always enjoyed

87
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 4: exercising in the morning because nothing can get in the way,

88
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 4: you know, Like, I'm a fairly motivated person when it

89
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 4: comes to health and fitness and working out. But if

90
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 4: I don't work out in the morning and I tell

91
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 4: myself I'm going to do a class, first of all,

92
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 4: it stresses me out because I then have to schedule

93
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 4: everything to make sure that I get out of work

94
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 4: on time and get to the class, or even go

95
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 4: for a run before it gets stark, all of those things.

96
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 4: It just doesn't happen myself out of it because I

97
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 4: love work, I love going for a walk with my

98
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 4: husband and spending time with my family, So it all

99
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 4: gets in the way and I can so easily manipulate myself.

100
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 2: What do you do for fitness nowadays?

101
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 4: Fitness Okay, strength training really important.

102
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 3: And I actually love it. I do wish I had

103
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 3: started earlier. I really do.

104
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 4: Like I tell the girls at work all the time

105
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 4: who are in their twenties and thirties, start weight training.

106
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 4: So weight training with a trainer twice a week, and

107
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 4: then I train by myself another two times a week.

108
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 4: In between that it's yoga. I walk twice a day's

109
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 4: that's a bit of a meditation thing too. I do

110
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 4: with my husband, who is the CEO of LRNA Jane.

111
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 4: So in the morning we walk out dog Harry about

112
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 4: twenty minutes, not a fast walk at all, but we

113
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 4: talk about our day, which is really nice.

114
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: I tak business absolutely, it's like a business meeting every

115
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 1: morning it is.

116
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 4: It's a walk meeting, and sometimes we have pretty heated discussions.

117
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 4: I'm sure some of the neighbors those clerks and are

118
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 4: going to get.

119
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 2: To do sometimes.

120
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 3: But we talk about what.

121
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 4: We're doing, and I might have some questions I want

122
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 4: to ask him, and I'll say, are you free for

123
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 4: this someone's coming in, I'd really like you to have

124
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 4: a chat to him, blah blah blah. So we talk

125
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 4: through that and then at night it's more a how

126
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 4: was your day?

127
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 3: Check in?

128
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 4: And so then we can really transition not completely we're human,

129
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 4: but transition into that more relaxed be at home.

130
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 2: We're a couple rather than business partners. Yeah yeah, so interesting.

131
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, an active week though, What perhaps is the biggest

132
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: lesson in health and wellness that you've learned over the years.

133
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: What's some wisdom you can impart?

134
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 4: Oh?

135
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 2: So many, so.

136
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 3: Many, I think give us a few.

137
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 4: I think the strength training was a big thing, especially

138
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 4: as you age and for women, like, you're not going

139
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 4: to get big. Look, I'm not a big person and

140
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 4: I do it four times a week, and I really

141
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 4: do heavy weights.

142
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 3: You know.

143
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 4: My trainer is a great big, you know, bodybuilding champion.

144
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 4: So you're not going to get big, You're just going

145
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 4: to get stronger. And for me, I meant feel more

146
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 4: powerful because I'm strong.

147
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 2: It's so empowering lift. I mean, I'm with you.

148
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: I love lifting heavyweights and I have actually haven't done

149
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: it for two weeks and I feel I'm in my head,

150
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: I'm thinking I have to go on strength train, like

151
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: I really need to feel that power.

152
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 3: Makes you feel it does?

153
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, it really makes you feel powerful, so absolutely, And

154
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 4: I then really love yoga as well. I sort of did.

155
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 4: I think it's probably about five or six years ago.

156
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 4: I went to Bali and did my instructor training just

157
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 4: so I could really understand what I wanted to achieve

158
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 4: out of yoga. So that's my be kind to myself.

159
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,359
Speaker 1: And did that help doing the yoga training. Do you

160
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 1: feel like you, well, you get more out of yoga.

161
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's me I do. But I like to know

162
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 4: the ins and outs of things, you know, Like I

163
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 4: had so many questions and I just thought, I just

164
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 4: really want to immerse myself in it. And I think

165
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 4: the girls at work thought that I'd possibly teach a

166
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 4: yoga class every Thursday afternoon, which has never happened. But yeah,

167
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 4: I just wanted to know a little bit more and

168
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 4: it does help, I think, to understand what you're trying

169
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 4: to achieve and that push and pull, that flight and

170
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 4: fight that you have when you're pushing yourself to your limit,

171
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 4: to understand it and give into it.

172
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 3: You know, if I'm really stressed.

173
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 4: I just can't do yoga like I can when I'm

174
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 4: not stressed, because my body's resisting. And I guess that's

175
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 4: what I need it the most.

176
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 2: Well, it's your mind, isn't that telling you? Yeah, I can't.

177
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: I can't do this now. Move nourish believe. I mean,

178
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: it's it's long been your company's ethos. It's a it's

179
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: a beautiful mantra. Do you still live by this?

180
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 2: Absolutely?

181
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 4: And most people don't know this, but it was actually

182
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 4: my way of living before we even started Lorna Jane.

183
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 4: It's always been my way of I guess, justifying and

184
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 4: not understanding why people. I get so fustedt why people

185
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 4: don't find time for the health and wellbeing. I just

186
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 4: it does frustrate me. I know all the reasons, of course,

187
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 4: I know all the reasons, but I can't understand why.

188
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 3: They don't put it on the top of their to

189
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 3: do list. You know.

190
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 4: So for me, it was always like, wake up every day,

191
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 4: move nourish belief, Move your body in some way.

192
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 3: Doesn't you can just be walking the dog.

193
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 4: You know. I'm not sure I won't do that much

194
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 4: today because I've got to fly back to Brisbane and

195
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 4: all those sorts of things. But I've had my walk

196
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 4: this morning, you know, move your body some way, eat.

197
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 3: Good food, just make some great choices.

198
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 4: You know, it's so easy, like I looked at the

199
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 4: choices my husband made on this trip compared to me,

200
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 4: his were not as good.

201
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 2: As much that live the Londa Jay mantras.

202
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 3: He does usually, but it was his birthday today.

203
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 2: That's okay, we'll let him up.

204
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 4: And then I think the most important one is believe.

205
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 4: I think positivity. So if you just walk into every

206
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:38,719
Speaker 4: single day saying I'm going to move my body, I'm

207
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,439
Speaker 4: going to eat good food, and I'm going to try

208
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 4: to be positive about everything, just thinks a great way.

209
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 4: And if you do that every day, I feel like

210
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 4: and I've witnessed women who haven't been in a good

211
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 4: place with their health and well being actually wake up

212
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 4: a few months down and the track and go, hey,

213
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 4: I'm a different person. And it's just half an hour here,

214
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 4: you know, a few minutes there chopping up some vegetables,

215
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 4: you know, the night before before you go to work.

216
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:05,559
Speaker 3: It's yeah, it's a.

217
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 4: Way of life, and you just have to be consistent.

218
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,319
Speaker 4: I think it's an easy way to think about it

219
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 4: and achievable for most people.

220
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,200
