1 00:00:05,921 --> 00:00:07,281 Speaker 1: Appogia Production. 2 00:00:12,041 --> 00:00:14,761 Speaker 2: Welcome to the Grow and Glow Podcast. I'm Ashley Bynes. 3 00:00:15,041 --> 00:00:16,761 Speaker 2: This is a podcast where we learn. 4 00:00:16,841 --> 00:00:18,081 Speaker 1: Laugh, and level up together. 5 00:00:18,601 --> 00:00:21,561 Speaker 2: Let's go deep, let the emotions flow, find the lessons 6 00:00:21,561 --> 00:00:24,320 Speaker 2: to grow and glow. Nothing is off the table with 7 00:00:24,401 --> 00:00:26,521 Speaker 2: Grow and Glow, and I'm here to be your expander. 8 00:00:30,961 --> 00:00:33,681 Speaker 2: Hello everybody, welcome back to Grow and Glow. It's Ashley, 9 00:00:33,721 --> 00:00:35,841 Speaker 2: your hosts, and I've also got Katie, my producer here. 10 00:00:36,241 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 2: And things may feel a little bit different and a 11 00:00:38,441 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 2: little bit quiet as we no longer have Kiara. So firstly, 12 00:00:41,441 --> 00:00:43,921 Speaker 2: if you missed last week's episode, I please recommend for 13 00:00:43,921 --> 00:00:45,240 Speaker 2: you to go and listen to that. Is that as 14 00:00:45,321 --> 00:00:48,081 Speaker 2: Kiara talking about her decision to leave the podcast. 15 00:00:49,081 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 1: To be honest, I. 16 00:00:50,001 --> 00:00:51,961 Speaker 2: Really didn't want to do an episode where I even 17 00:00:52,001 --> 00:00:54,601 Speaker 2: spoke about this. I really wanted to keep everything behind 18 00:00:54,601 --> 00:00:57,361 Speaker 2: closed doors. But with everything being posted online at the moment, 19 00:00:57,401 --> 00:00:58,801 Speaker 2: I do feel like I need to speak up and 20 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,241 Speaker 2: just clarify a few things. And I also want to 21 00:01:01,241 --> 00:01:04,521 Speaker 2: say I really do understand the curiosity and the questions 22 00:01:04,561 --> 00:01:06,681 Speaker 2: about the situation because I know that you guys are 23 00:01:06,721 --> 00:01:09,281 Speaker 2: so invested in the podcast and our friendship and We've 24 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 2: openly shared so much of our lives over the last 25 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,441 Speaker 2: two years, and I do appreciate each and every one 26 00:01:14,481 --> 00:01:16,441 Speaker 2: of you so so much. So I do get it 27 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 2: be online world. It is such an incredible place to 28 00:01:19,441 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 2: grow and to learn and to share. But there's also 29 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,881 Speaker 2: a really dark side of it that can really impact us. 30 00:01:24,081 --> 00:01:26,481 Speaker 2: And with both of us being mothers, when our mental 31 00:01:26,481 --> 00:01:28,961 Speaker 2: health is affected, it not only affects ourselves but our 32 00:01:29,041 --> 00:01:31,321 Speaker 2: children as well. I know I can only speak on 33 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,881 Speaker 2: behalf of myself, but my oldest is at an age 34 00:01:34,161 --> 00:01:36,521 Speaker 2: where he can see and feel when mummy is not okay, 35 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,601 Speaker 2: and that's been me the last week. Sharing your life 36 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,041 Speaker 2: online it can honestly be really really tricky when you're 37 00:01:42,081 --> 00:01:45,481 Speaker 2: navigating something like a friendship breakdown or a relationship breakup, 38 00:01:45,721 --> 00:01:48,881 Speaker 2: or maybe you're just going through something that's really uncomfortable. 39 00:01:49,161 --> 00:01:50,841 Speaker 2: I want all of you listening to think about a 40 00:01:50,841 --> 00:01:53,881 Speaker 2: time where you've gone through something really, really hard and 41 00:01:54,001 --> 00:01:56,441 Speaker 2: how hard it is to navigate that on your own. 42 00:01:56,641 --> 00:01:58,521 Speaker 2: And now think about how hard that'd be if you 43 00:01:58,641 --> 00:02:03,441 Speaker 2: had tens of thousands of people speculating, assuming, judging, criticizing, 44 00:02:03,801 --> 00:02:04,921 Speaker 2: and making up their own narrative. 45 00:02:05,161 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: What's actually going on. 46 00:02:07,041 --> 00:02:10,201 Speaker 2: So Firstly, from what's being post online, it's very obvious 47 00:02:10,241 --> 00:02:12,561 Speaker 2: that we have had our friendship breakdown. I wanted to 48 00:02:12,641 --> 00:02:14,961 Speaker 2: keep this offline to protect both of our mental health. 49 00:02:15,321 --> 00:02:17,561 Speaker 2: I didn't feel the need to get anyone involved or 50 00:02:17,561 --> 00:02:20,401 Speaker 2: make it harder than what it already was. Secondly, this 51 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,521 Speaker 2: was only a very very recent thing. Our breakdown was 52 00:02:23,601 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 2: not because Kiara wanted to leave Grow and Glow. I 53 00:02:26,281 --> 00:02:28,201 Speaker 2: think it was about five or six weeks ago when 54 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:29,241 Speaker 2: she first came to us. 55 00:02:29,561 --> 00:02:31,841 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's really important to say that. Obviously 56 00:02:31,921 --> 00:02:34,321 Speaker 3: you never wanted to have to do this episode and 57 00:02:34,361 --> 00:02:37,601 Speaker 3: go into more detail, but it is because what is 58 00:02:37,721 --> 00:02:43,601 Speaker 3: being said isn't the truth. Yeah, Kiara came to us, 59 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,281 Speaker 3: both you and me separately, and said that she wanted 60 00:02:47,281 --> 00:02:49,201 Speaker 3: to leave Grow and Glow and the reasons for it, 61 00:02:49,201 --> 00:02:52,281 Speaker 3: which obviously are personal to her. But there was no 62 00:02:52,881 --> 00:02:57,081 Speaker 3: angst whatsoever. It was so amicable. We were very accommodating. 63 00:02:57,161 --> 00:02:59,481 Speaker 3: We worked together and let her. You know, we didn't 64 00:02:59,561 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 3: tie her down to doing any more episodes. We were 65 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 3: very flexible. It was whatever she needed. We actually did 66 00:03:07,121 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 3: give a few suggestions very early on, like how can 67 00:03:09,481 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 3: we make this easier for you. How can we make 68 00:03:11,441 --> 00:03:14,481 Speaker 3: this less work? Could you take a microphone home? You know, 69 00:03:14,561 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 3: there were lots of things like we really tried to 70 00:03:16,761 --> 00:03:19,881 Speaker 3: keep Kiara, and we really wanted to keep her. That 71 00:03:20,041 --> 00:03:24,361 Speaker 3: was definitely our preference. Then moving on with Grow and Glow, 72 00:03:24,361 --> 00:03:26,001 Speaker 3: which is something you didn't even think you were going 73 00:03:26,041 --> 00:03:28,481 Speaker 3: to be able to do. I remember you facetimed me 74 00:03:28,841 --> 00:03:30,801 Speaker 3: and you were in floods of tears. 75 00:03:30,921 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: I was on the floor so upsets, upset. 76 00:03:33,761 --> 00:03:37,321 Speaker 3: So upset that Kiara was leaving because you love Kiara 77 00:03:37,401 --> 00:03:40,481 Speaker 3: and you couldn't see a future of the podcast without Kiara. 78 00:03:40,601 --> 00:03:43,681 Speaker 3: And it wasn't until some later conversations where we were like, well, 79 00:03:43,681 --> 00:03:46,201 Speaker 3: maybe you know you love Grow and Glow, you love 80 00:03:46,281 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 3: doing the podcast. Could you potentially do it by yourself 81 00:03:49,841 --> 00:03:53,401 Speaker 3: or do it with somebody else, And eventually came to 82 00:03:53,481 --> 00:03:56,881 Speaker 3: a decision, which obviously we're excited about bittersweet because our 83 00:03:56,921 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 3: preference always was to keep Kiara. It had Kiara's full 84 00:04:00,481 --> 00:04:03,561 Speaker 3: blessing and so yeah, I think it's really important for 85 00:04:03,601 --> 00:04:06,801 Speaker 3: people to know that part of it. And as you said, 86 00:04:07,161 --> 00:04:11,321 Speaker 3: the friendship breakdown was actually nothing to do with Kiara 87 00:04:11,441 --> 00:04:12,241 Speaker 3: leaving Grown Glow. 88 00:04:12,281 --> 00:04:13,121 Speaker 1: In the first place. 89 00:04:13,281 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 3: It was all very friendly and it was all very positive, 90 00:04:16,241 --> 00:04:19,201 Speaker 3: and I remember having a conversation with Kiara where I said, 91 00:04:19,521 --> 00:04:21,081 Speaker 3: the door is always. 92 00:04:20,801 --> 00:04:25,161 Speaker 2: Open for yeah percent. When she first came to me, 93 00:04:25,681 --> 00:04:27,801 Speaker 2: I was in full support of her decision. When one 94 00:04:27,841 --> 00:04:29,321 Speaker 2: of your friends comes to you and said I need 95 00:04:29,361 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 2: to create more space for myself and for my family, 96 00:04:32,041 --> 00:04:34,961 Speaker 2: there is nothing else to do but support them. And 97 00:04:35,121 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 2: even on that phone call, I remember like feeling myself 98 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,921 Speaker 2: tea up. She had said I feel guilty, and I 99 00:04:39,961 --> 00:04:41,601 Speaker 2: was like, oh my gosh, you don't have anything to 100 00:04:41,601 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 2: feel guilty about. But it was actually in that same 101 00:04:44,361 --> 00:04:46,401 Speaker 2: phone call that she was on suggesting me to get 102 00:04:46,401 --> 00:04:48,121 Speaker 2: a new co host, because I remember saying to her 103 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,241 Speaker 2: there is no Grow and Glow without you, and she 104 00:04:50,361 --> 00:04:51,801 Speaker 2: was like, you have to keep going. You know you've 105 00:04:51,801 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 2: closed down baseline. I know this is your passion. You 106 00:04:53,761 --> 00:04:56,001 Speaker 2: can get a new co host, whatever you want to do. 107 00:04:56,081 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 2: I'm in full support. I just wanted to clarify that, like, 108 00:04:58,521 --> 00:05:00,761 Speaker 2: I was in full support of her decision, and she 109 00:05:00,841 --> 00:05:03,041 Speaker 2: was in full support of us continuing to do Grow 110 00:05:03,081 --> 00:05:04,281 Speaker 2: and Glow, which was beautiful. 111 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:09,721 Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely been some comments and stuff online around Kiara 112 00:05:09,841 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 3: being replaced or perhaps pushed out, There is no truth 113 00:05:13,001 --> 00:05:13,241 Speaker 3: in that. 114 00:05:13,281 --> 00:05:15,921 Speaker 2: Gosh soever, I'd have done anything to have her stay. 115 00:05:16,041 --> 00:05:19,481 Speaker 2: I've absolutely, like hand in my heart, loved this whole journey. 116 00:05:19,521 --> 00:05:21,921 Speaker 2: And yeah, I was devastated, Like I rang you crying 117 00:05:22,001 --> 00:05:22,441 Speaker 2: so hard. 118 00:05:22,481 --> 00:05:23,601 Speaker 1: I was really really upset. 119 00:05:23,921 --> 00:05:26,161 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think for us as well, like it's 120 00:05:26,241 --> 00:05:29,161 Speaker 3: kind of been more than just doing your podcast, Like 121 00:05:29,241 --> 00:05:32,441 Speaker 3: it's more than just a business relationship. Like I feel 122 00:05:32,481 --> 00:05:35,401 Speaker 3: like there's been a real friendship. And you know, we 123 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,801 Speaker 3: went to Eten together and you know, all got on 124 00:05:39,081 --> 00:05:42,281 Speaker 3: so so well. So have so much love for Kiara, 125 00:05:42,401 --> 00:05:44,841 Speaker 3: and yeah, once again we wanted to have to stay. 126 00:05:45,001 --> 00:05:48,801 Speaker 2: M h. Yeah, and even after she left, like our 127 00:05:48,841 --> 00:05:52,001 Speaker 2: friendship was still beautiful and supportive and full of love. Later, 128 00:05:52,001 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 2: did our photoshoot for our next product, and I remember 129 00:05:54,241 --> 00:05:56,281 Speaker 2: after we were sitting in the car editing the videos, 130 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 2: It's pouring down rain and she started to cry and 131 00:05:58,921 --> 00:06:00,921 Speaker 2: I started to cry because we're just talking about the 132 00:06:01,001 --> 00:06:02,921 Speaker 2: memories and how much love we have for each other 133 00:06:03,001 --> 00:06:05,401 Speaker 2: and how awesome this journey's been and how much we're 134 00:06:05,401 --> 00:06:07,681 Speaker 2: actually going to miss it. And this wasn't a decision 135 00:06:07,681 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 2: that she felt like she wanted to meet, but she 136 00:06:09,281 --> 00:06:11,801 Speaker 2: had to make for her family, which you know, I've 137 00:06:11,801 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 2: been through a lot of health stuff this year as well. 138 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,161 Speaker 2: Your health and your family are always going to be 139 00:06:16,201 --> 00:06:18,921 Speaker 2: the most important thing. She has made the right decision, 140 00:06:19,001 --> 00:06:21,121 Speaker 2: you know, and once again we're in full support of that. 141 00:06:21,521 --> 00:06:24,041 Speaker 3: Yeah. And I even had a conversation with Kiara last 142 00:06:24,081 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 3: week where I said, have you made the right decision? 143 00:06:26,721 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 1: Are usual? 144 00:06:27,601 --> 00:06:27,801 Speaker 2: Yeah? 145 00:06:28,081 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: And she said yeah, absolutely, and I was like, yeah, yeah, 146 00:06:31,121 --> 00:06:31,481 Speaker 1: so yeah. 147 00:06:31,561 --> 00:06:34,801 Speaker 2: Just to clarify, our friendship breakdown was not because Kiara 148 00:06:34,921 --> 00:06:37,201 Speaker 2: decided to leave. It was more so towards the end, 149 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,681 Speaker 2: only very recently. This is why it's still so raw 150 00:06:40,801 --> 00:06:43,201 Speaker 2: and really hard to talk about. Was us not being 151 00:06:43,241 --> 00:06:45,401 Speaker 2: able to see eyed at eye with the exit of 152 00:06:45,481 --> 00:06:46,121 Speaker 2: the podcast. 153 00:06:46,481 --> 00:06:49,281 Speaker 3: I think one of the important things to mention as 154 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,921 Speaker 3: well is that this wasn't just a podcast for you. 155 00:06:52,281 --> 00:06:53,481 Speaker 1: Like one of the things. 156 00:06:53,241 --> 00:06:56,721 Speaker 3: That you were really upset about with Kiara leaving was 157 00:06:56,761 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 3: the fact that you got to take two days every 158 00:07:00,481 --> 00:07:03,761 Speaker 3: month to come up to Brisbane, drive up together, chat 159 00:07:03,801 --> 00:07:07,001 Speaker 3: about the you know idears for the episodes, stay in 160 00:07:07,041 --> 00:07:08,201 Speaker 3: a hotel, go to. 161 00:07:08,161 --> 00:07:09,481 Speaker 1: Dinner, have our launches. 162 00:07:09,801 --> 00:07:12,601 Speaker 3: Yeah, which I mean in hindsight, you could have got 163 00:07:12,641 --> 00:07:14,201 Speaker 3: it all done in the day, But I know you 164 00:07:14,201 --> 00:07:17,401 Speaker 3: guys love that time, Like, yeah, I know that for 165 00:07:17,441 --> 00:07:19,521 Speaker 3: you was definitely one of the things that you were 166 00:07:19,721 --> 00:07:20,681 Speaker 3: really upset about. 167 00:07:21,281 --> 00:07:23,801 Speaker 2: Podcast aside, and we've spoken about it before, like we 168 00:07:23,841 --> 00:07:26,201 Speaker 2: really don't see each other outside the podcast. She lives 169 00:07:26,201 --> 00:07:28,801 Speaker 2: about forty minutes down south for me, and with both 170 00:07:28,841 --> 00:07:31,321 Speaker 2: of us running businesses and having multiple children, like, we 171 00:07:31,441 --> 00:07:33,041 Speaker 2: just don't get a lot of time. So that was 172 00:07:33,081 --> 00:07:34,881 Speaker 2: the one special time each month. It was honestly like 173 00:07:34,921 --> 00:07:37,721 Speaker 2: the highlight of my month. Yeah, I loved it so much. 174 00:07:37,801 --> 00:07:40,081 Speaker 2: So at the end of the day, this podcast is 175 00:07:40,121 --> 00:07:42,321 Speaker 2: called Grow and Glow. This isn't even the episode I 176 00:07:42,321 --> 00:07:45,841 Speaker 2: wanted to do, but this this podcast is about growing 177 00:07:45,841 --> 00:07:48,761 Speaker 2: through your hard times, are sharing our lessons and glowing 178 00:07:48,801 --> 00:07:51,001 Speaker 2: out the other side. I want this podcast to be 179 00:07:51,001 --> 00:07:53,521 Speaker 2: one that you come to to always feel empowered to 180 00:07:53,561 --> 00:07:55,841 Speaker 2: live a more authentic life and to raise your baseline 181 00:07:55,841 --> 00:07:58,681 Speaker 2: and to level up and to meet yourself where you 182 00:07:58,721 --> 00:08:00,801 Speaker 2: are at right now and honor what you need in 183 00:08:00,841 --> 00:08:03,281 Speaker 2: every single season. So that's what I want to focus 184 00:08:03,321 --> 00:08:05,761 Speaker 2: on now and moving forward. Something else that I wanted 185 00:08:05,761 --> 00:08:08,041 Speaker 2: to quickly share a little bit about is what true 186 00:08:08,081 --> 00:08:10,201 Speaker 2: self care and self love is about. Because I think 187 00:08:10,201 --> 00:08:12,201 Speaker 2: it's thrown around on social media that it's like you're 188 00:08:12,201 --> 00:08:13,881 Speaker 2: going to get a pedicure or you chuck a face 189 00:08:13,961 --> 00:08:16,881 Speaker 2: mask on, But it's actually so much more than that, 190 00:08:17,321 --> 00:08:19,841 Speaker 2: And for me, I want to talk about that today 191 00:08:19,881 --> 00:08:22,401 Speaker 2: and end this on a beautiful note and reminder of 192 00:08:22,441 --> 00:08:25,001 Speaker 2: what that looks like. For me, self care and true 193 00:08:25,041 --> 00:08:28,161 Speaker 2: self love is taking care of what's actually on the inside, 194 00:08:28,241 --> 00:08:30,521 Speaker 2: and that's through nourishing our bodies with healthy food, saying 195 00:08:30,601 --> 00:08:32,401 Speaker 2: hydra to getting our sleep, giving our stress. 196 00:08:32,401 --> 00:08:32,921 Speaker 1: Love was low. 197 00:08:33,281 --> 00:08:36,281 Speaker 2: It's about being in nature. It's about finding things and 198 00:08:36,321 --> 00:08:38,201 Speaker 2: people that bring you a lot of joy in life. 199 00:08:38,441 --> 00:08:41,561 Speaker 2: The one thing that people don't talk about is actually forgiveness. 200 00:08:41,841 --> 00:08:46,401 Speaker 2: When you can forgive yourself and others for things people 201 00:08:46,401 --> 00:08:48,841 Speaker 2: have said or done, you open up your heart just 202 00:08:48,961 --> 00:08:52,081 Speaker 2: so much more love and emotional peace, And if you don't, 203 00:08:52,681 --> 00:08:56,441 Speaker 2: it's toxic inside and it's not the vibration energetically that 204 00:08:56,481 --> 00:08:58,881 Speaker 2: any of us want to be sitting on. So, if 205 00:08:58,921 --> 00:09:01,481 Speaker 2: there's anyone in your life or anything you're going through, 206 00:09:01,521 --> 00:09:03,321 Speaker 2: if you can try and find it in your heart 207 00:09:03,401 --> 00:09:07,521 Speaker 2: to have a deeper sense of like compassion for where 208 00:09:07,681 --> 00:09:10,521 Speaker 2: you're at yourself and where other people are at. The 209 00:09:10,561 --> 00:09:13,121 Speaker 2: only thing in life we are guaranteed is change, So 210 00:09:13,121 --> 00:09:15,001 Speaker 2: the only thing that we know is going to happen. 211 00:09:15,601 --> 00:09:19,721 Speaker 2: And this is the hardest part of life is relationship breakdowns, 212 00:09:19,721 --> 00:09:22,721 Speaker 2: whether that's intimate, family or friendship. And we will go 213 00:09:22,801 --> 00:09:25,281 Speaker 2: through it, like every single person goes through this, and 214 00:09:25,281 --> 00:09:27,401 Speaker 2: it's grieving. I've got a girlfriend at the moment going 215 00:09:27,441 --> 00:09:30,121 Speaker 2: through a bad breakup and said, it's almost like grieving 216 00:09:30,121 --> 00:09:32,841 Speaker 2: a death because that person's still there, but you don't 217 00:09:32,881 --> 00:09:35,961 Speaker 2: have access to them anymore. A person you've told everything too, 218 00:09:35,961 --> 00:09:37,601 Speaker 2: and you've gone to and they've held space for you 219 00:09:37,641 --> 00:09:40,801 Speaker 2: and you've done vice versa, and all of a sudden gone. 220 00:09:41,241 --> 00:09:43,361 Speaker 2: It is a form of grief and it's so heavy 221 00:09:43,361 --> 00:09:46,521 Speaker 2: on the heart. You wake up, I know myself, and 222 00:09:46,521 --> 00:09:48,761 Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, is that a nightmare? Shit, No, that's 223 00:09:48,801 --> 00:09:52,161 Speaker 2: actually happening, And you get this sick feeling in your 224 00:09:52,161 --> 00:09:55,681 Speaker 2: stomach and it's quite consuming. Like even over the weekend, 225 00:09:55,721 --> 00:09:57,521 Speaker 2: my kids were sick and it was just a slow 226 00:09:57,521 --> 00:09:59,441 Speaker 2: weekend anyway, but it's just all I could think about. 227 00:09:59,601 --> 00:10:03,401 Speaker 2: My heart is just hurting so yeah, not an episode 228 00:10:03,401 --> 00:10:04,881 Speaker 2: I wanted to do, but I did feel like it 229 00:10:04,921 --> 00:10:09,281 Speaker 2: was It's necessary. I have so much gratitude I journey 230 00:10:09,321 --> 00:10:12,241 Speaker 2: the podcast our memories and I will always hold that 231 00:10:12,281 --> 00:10:12,801 Speaker 2: in my heart. 232 00:10:13,161 --> 00:10:15,481 Speaker 3: Yeah, and as I said before, the door is always 233 00:10:15,561 --> 00:10:16,201 Speaker 3: always open. 234 00:10:16,761 --> 00:10:19,321 Speaker 1: What can you tell us about the new podcast. 235 00:10:20,161 --> 00:10:21,801 Speaker 2: We have a whole new name, we have a whole 236 00:10:21,881 --> 00:10:24,841 Speaker 2: new look, we'll have new outfits, new forms which are 237 00:10:24,881 --> 00:10:27,041 Speaker 2: very different to this one, and we have a beautiful 238 00:10:27,041 --> 00:10:29,441 Speaker 2: new co host. I honestly thought I might come on 239 00:10:29,481 --> 00:10:32,041 Speaker 2: and do it by myself, but when Kiara said that 240 00:10:32,041 --> 00:10:33,761 Speaker 2: I can get someone else, there was only two people 241 00:10:33,761 --> 00:10:35,761 Speaker 2: in mind, and one of them is the same person 242 00:10:36,001 --> 00:10:37,841 Speaker 2: that I was thinking when I first wanted to do 243 00:10:37,921 --> 00:10:40,001 Speaker 2: a podcast, it was Megsie, and back then she didn't 244 00:10:40,001 --> 00:10:42,081 Speaker 2: have the capacity to do it, and obviously I went 245 00:10:42,121 --> 00:10:44,841 Speaker 2: with Kiara, and this time it was between two people 246 00:10:44,881 --> 00:10:46,761 Speaker 2: as well, Megsi being one of them, and once again 247 00:10:46,801 --> 00:10:48,961 Speaker 2: she doesn't have the capacity for it. And there was 248 00:10:48,961 --> 00:10:50,961 Speaker 2: only one other person that really stood out for me. 249 00:10:51,201 --> 00:10:52,561 Speaker 2: And it's not like I had a list of one 250 00:10:52,601 --> 00:10:55,561 Speaker 2: hundred people to choose from. A podcast is something very 251 00:10:55,561 --> 00:10:57,841 Speaker 2: intimate and special. It's not something you would just get 252 00:10:57,841 --> 00:11:00,361 Speaker 2: anyone and everyone on to do with. So it wasn't 253 00:11:00,361 --> 00:11:02,001 Speaker 2: a hard decision in that sense. 254 00:11:02,361 --> 00:11:04,561 Speaker 3: And I remember you saying when we were like you 255 00:11:04,601 --> 00:11:06,561 Speaker 3: could have Lily did the podcast on your own, and 256 00:11:06,601 --> 00:11:09,561 Speaker 3: you were like, it's gonna be really boring, be fun 257 00:11:09,641 --> 00:11:12,881 Speaker 3: me coming in and laughing by myself. Yeah, And what 258 00:11:12,881 --> 00:11:14,681 Speaker 3: can people expect from the episodes? 259 00:11:14,841 --> 00:11:16,201 Speaker 1: Will it be similar content? 260 00:11:16,441 --> 00:11:18,161 Speaker 2: Yes, in the sense that we still want you to 261 00:11:18,201 --> 00:11:21,441 Speaker 2: feel very comfortable, like it's you know, two best girlfriends 262 00:11:21,441 --> 00:11:25,161 Speaker 2: sitting on the couch sharing. This person has a lot 263 00:11:25,201 --> 00:11:28,681 Speaker 2: of depth, Like I have grown so much since she's 264 00:11:28,721 --> 00:11:31,281 Speaker 2: become my friend. I've healed things that I've been wanting 265 00:11:31,281 --> 00:11:33,761 Speaker 2: to heal my whole life just via conversations with her. 266 00:11:34,401 --> 00:11:37,121 Speaker 2: So I feel like you're going to literally learn and 267 00:11:37,241 --> 00:11:40,041 Speaker 2: grow so much just from having her in your ears. 268 00:11:40,281 --> 00:11:44,601 Speaker 2: But she's also very playful, fun, She's like spicy and 269 00:11:44,721 --> 00:11:48,241 Speaker 2: central as well. She's a very multifaceted woman. Like it's 270 00:11:48,281 --> 00:11:50,441 Speaker 2: not like a one size kind of fits all. So 271 00:11:50,481 --> 00:11:52,401 Speaker 2: you have a lot of fun, you'll learn a lot, 272 00:11:52,761 --> 00:11:54,801 Speaker 2: you'll grow a lot, you might be shocked a lot. 273 00:11:54,841 --> 00:11:57,641 Speaker 2: She's got a lot of really cool, crazy stories to 274 00:11:57,681 --> 00:11:59,441 Speaker 2: share as to who she is and why she is 275 00:11:59,481 --> 00:12:02,081 Speaker 2: the way she is. But yeah, I'm very excited to 276 00:12:02,081 --> 00:12:04,641 Speaker 2: announce her. I'm very excited to have more conversations with her, 277 00:12:05,281 --> 00:12:06,601 Speaker 2: and I think you're all going to fall. 278 00:12:06,441 --> 00:12:06,921 Speaker 1: In love with there. 279 00:12:07,001 --> 00:12:09,681 Speaker 2: But yeah, it's really exciting. It's been such a bittersweet process. 280 00:12:09,761 --> 00:12:12,921 Speaker 2: Like I always say, two emotions can coexist. I feel 281 00:12:12,961 --> 00:12:15,641 Speaker 2: like I'm grieving what was in this friendship and you 282 00:12:15,681 --> 00:12:18,761 Speaker 2: know what, I've really enjoyed every moment, and I'm also 283 00:12:18,801 --> 00:12:20,161 Speaker 2: really excited for what's to come. 284 00:12:20,481 --> 00:12:22,881 Speaker 1: Yeah, so I'm like experiencing both at the moment. 285 00:12:22,921 --> 00:12:24,881 Speaker 2: But I just think each and every day we have 286 00:12:24,921 --> 00:12:27,001 Speaker 2: the choice where we direct our energy and focus, and 287 00:12:27,081 --> 00:12:29,041 Speaker 2: I'm choosing to direct it into what's to come and 288 00:12:29,081 --> 00:12:32,841 Speaker 2: get excited and stay in gratitude. And also just a 289 00:12:32,841 --> 00:12:34,641 Speaker 2: massive shout out to all of you, like, thank you 290 00:12:34,681 --> 00:12:37,881 Speaker 2: so much.
