WEBVTT - My egg retrieval update & seeing a 'light healer' 0:00:00.370 --> 0:00:04.490 Hi, I'm Adele and welcome to Pretty Sure, the podcast 0:00:04.510 --> 0:00:07.350 where we talk about the things everyone thinks about but 0:00:07.430 --> 0:00:09.730 nobody says out loud. Each week I'll be sharing my 0:00:09.770 --> 0:00:13.830 Pretty Sure opinions, unpacking the internet's biggest conversations and figuring 0:00:13.890 --> 0:00:17.230 out the things I'm not so sure about right alongside you. 0:00:17.510 --> 0:00:19.950 And if a conversation ever feels a little too heavy, 0:00:20.000 --> 0:00:23.040 we'll always include support resources in the show notes. Please 0:00:23.070 --> 0:00:26.240 take care of yourselves, seek professional help if needed or 0:00:26.320 --> 0:00:28.740 skip the entire episode if it's not for you. Now, 0:00:28.940 --> 0:00:33.040 let's get into the show. Hey guys, welcome to Pretty Sure. 0:00:33.200 --> 0:00:34.600 First of all, welcome to another episode. 0:00:34.940 --> 0:00:35.860 Maybe let's start there. 0:00:36.280 --> 0:00:39.080 Welcome to another week of Pretty Sure. Multiple things we've 0:00:39.100 --> 0:00:41.740 spoken about before we actually like started recording. One of 0:00:41.780 --> 0:00:44.100 those being the fact that I've become way too comfortable 0:00:44.140 --> 0:00:46.420 in the studio. The fact that I just like took 0:00:46.460 --> 0:00:48.699 my shoes off and like walked around with my dogs 0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:50.659 out is, I think I just need to check myself 0:00:50.680 --> 0:00:51.260 for a second there. 0:00:51.830 --> 0:00:53.430 I don't think so. I think own the space. 0:00:53.530 --> 0:00:55.370 I think, I love, it's like a second home to 0:00:55.450 --> 0:00:57.930 us now. I mean, we're 17 episodes in. 0:00:58.210 --> 0:01:00.310 We're getting very comfortable here. Too comfortable? 0:01:01.070 --> 0:01:07.699 I mean, maybe. And we were just saying, not only 0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:10.300 are we like extremely comfortable, but like part of this 0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:12.459 space is like me just openly talking about how my 0:01:12.500 --> 0:01:15.560 nose is leaking because of hay fever. And you're not 0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:16.179 a Melbournian. 0:01:16.670 --> 0:01:17.090 No. 0:01:17.209 --> 0:01:19.059 And you were just saying like you think that it's 0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:21.300 something that people grow out of in Melbourne, but I've 0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:23.700 actually grown into hay fever. I never had hay fever 0:01:23.740 --> 0:01:27.459 as a kid. Melbourne has like the worst pollen count. What? No, no, 0:01:27.510 --> 0:01:28.449 it's like a known thing. 0:01:28.650 --> 0:01:31.620 Is it? Is it? No, girl, it's so bad. I'm 0:01:31.660 --> 0:01:34.819 a new Melburnian and I really hope that this fate 0:01:34.940 --> 0:01:36.140 is not making its way to me. 0:01:36.140 --> 0:01:38.740 I'm going to give it two years until it starts 0:01:38.780 --> 0:01:39.319 affecting you. 0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:42.190 I'm going to give myself two years to move away 0:01:42.250 --> 0:01:44.750 from Melbourne. No, no, we can't lose you. 0:01:44.870 --> 0:01:46.130 No, it's not that bad. 0:01:46.150 --> 0:01:47.030 You'll be fine. 0:01:47.050 --> 0:01:50.090 No, but it's really bad. Like, I never used to 0:01:50.110 --> 0:01:52.170 struggle with hay fever. And now all of a sudden 0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:54.700 my nose is leaking at every opportunity. My eyes are 0:01:54.740 --> 0:01:57.640 leaking at every opportunity. I mean, I don't get the 0:01:57.700 --> 0:02:02.100 scratchy throat that badly. But at times I'm like, wow. 0:02:02.740 --> 0:02:06.050 I really feel for people who get really bad hay fever. 0:02:06.170 --> 0:02:06.470 Right. 0:02:06.490 --> 0:02:10.170 Because the symptoms on the surface sound so minor. But 0:02:10.210 --> 0:02:12.930 I think just because they're so persistent, it can become 0:02:12.970 --> 0:02:13.650 so debilitating. 0:02:13.669 --> 0:02:15.350 You get in bed and you've got like this blocked nose. 0:02:15.370 --> 0:02:17.690 You're like, wait. Is it the flu or is it 0:02:17.750 --> 0:02:19.570 hay fever? And you question your sanity. 0:02:19.850 --> 0:02:23.510 Hate that. It's so bad. So let's start. 0:02:23.350 --> 0:02:25.690 The episode off after our brief little yap. And I 0:02:25.710 --> 0:02:27.590 decided to just like welcome you guys into the yap 0:02:27.630 --> 0:02:29.770 about what we're discussing because I know that people are 0:02:29.790 --> 0:02:32.030 going to be nodding in the cars on the way 0:02:32.060 --> 0:02:34.090 to work listening to this being like, yeah, hay fever 0:02:34.130 --> 0:02:35.180 is fucking me up the ass. 0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:36.030 Absolutely. 0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:39.460 But I'm pretty sure that we came into this studio 0:02:39.580 --> 0:02:41.920 and I just said quick bye, hi and bye, because 0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:43.380 I had to run out the door to go to 0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:46.280 the IVF clinic to do my shot. Because I found 0:02:46.380 --> 0:02:49.119 out this morning, first of all, let me just recap 0:02:49.139 --> 0:02:50.720 the day. Let me give you a bit of backstory. 0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:53.940 Came in this morning in the same area where we 0:02:53.980 --> 0:02:56.970 shoot is like the same area where the clinic is, 0:02:57.550 --> 0:02:58.350 which works for me. 0:02:58.610 --> 0:02:59.230 That's very lucky. 0:02:59.250 --> 0:03:02.030 It's very convenient. I was like, I can make this 0:03:02.090 --> 0:03:05.130 work because we don't shoot, like this studio is not 0:03:05.150 --> 0:03:07.380 close to my home, which is fine. I'm happy to 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:09.970 make the trek. I literally came in first thing in 0:03:10.010 --> 0:03:11.930 the morning to get a scan done. And then they 0:03:11.950 --> 0:03:13.669 were like, the doctor will be in contact with you, 0:03:14.130 --> 0:03:16.990 doing some meetings, you know, in the cafe downstairs and 0:03:17.210 --> 0:03:20.090 just yapping away, doing my usual stuff. They gave me 0:03:20.110 --> 0:03:21.350 a buzz and they're like, right, so we're going to 0:03:21.370 --> 0:03:23.680 get you in on this Wednesday. The people at home 0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:25.740 that don't know, we record on a Monday. I'm going 0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:27.780 to go in on Wednesday for my egg retrieval. But 0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:29.220 we're going to do it a little bit earlier just 0:03:29.260 --> 0:03:33.180 because my doctor is amazing. Like she's, shout out to Dr. 0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:33.859 Raelia Liu. 0:03:34.300 --> 0:03:37.560 She is phenomenal. And just with the job that I'm in, 0:03:38.590 --> 0:03:41.710 We have things pop up last minute that you can 0:03:41.790 --> 0:03:44.090 say no to. I just prefer to like seize the 0:03:44.110 --> 0:03:46.450 opportunities as they come. And we are going to have 0:03:46.490 --> 0:03:49.010 a very, very big weekend. So I was like the 0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:51.560 earlier we can do the retrieval, the better. So I 0:03:51.580 --> 0:03:55.040 can have more days just lying low to recover properly 0:03:55.100 --> 0:03:59.100 before I start work again. So anyways, called me and 0:03:59.140 --> 0:04:01.120 was like, we're actually going to do it this Wednesday. 0:04:01.220 --> 0:04:02.900 But to do that, we need to like double dose 0:04:02.940 --> 0:04:03.490 you today. 0:04:03.500 --> 0:04:03.750 Wow. 0:04:04.500 --> 0:04:06.380 As soon as possible. So then you can take your 0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:09.720 trigger shot tonight and then you'll have your admission time 0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:12.360 on Wednesday and then go through that period. So I 0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:14.680 literally was like, you messaged me and you were like, hey, 0:04:14.700 --> 0:04:16.700 do you want to catch up before the episode? I'm like, Yes, 0:04:17.050 --> 0:04:19.510 but I can't. Grab me another matcha if you can. 0:04:19.850 --> 0:04:20.589 Love you lots. 0:04:20.810 --> 0:04:21.690 I'm running out the door. 0:04:21.710 --> 0:04:24.390 I'll see you in 15 minutes. And I ran, sprinted over, 0:04:24.430 --> 0:04:26.910 got the shot, went down to the nurses. The nurse, 0:04:27.250 --> 0:04:29.570 lovely Lucy, my nurse, I'm obsessed with her. She's so 0:04:29.630 --> 0:04:33.029 fucking kind. Shot me in the tummy, came back. We 0:04:33.050 --> 0:04:35.230 did a quick powwow and now we're here. 0:04:35.730 --> 0:04:41.560 Quick shot in the tummy and not the kind that is. Yeah, look. Yeah. 0:04:42.190 --> 0:04:45.159 Not the funnest kind. Not the funnest kind. No, unfortunately. 0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:48.080 It doesn't actually, I don't know if it's a mental thing, 0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:50.870 but I find that shots hurt more when you do 0:04:50.910 --> 0:04:51.490 them to yourself. 0:04:52.010 --> 0:04:52.869 Really? Yes. 0:04:53.070 --> 0:04:56.790 Like getting blood drawn hurts more than doing these shots. 0:04:57.210 --> 0:04:57.589 Wow. 0:04:57.770 --> 0:04:59.650 Because it's like, it's going to sound really gross, but 0:04:59.670 --> 0:05:01.030 you've like pinched your tummy fat. 0:05:01.230 --> 0:05:01.410 Yeah. 0:05:01.450 --> 0:05:03.990 And it's done on a superficial level. Whereas like when 0:05:04.010 --> 0:05:07.039 you get blood drawn, it's like into the vein. Yeah, totally. 0:05:07.060 --> 0:05:08.680 Sorry if you've got needle phobia at home and you're 0:05:08.700 --> 0:05:13.620 like listening to this. But yeah, it doesn't actually hurt 0:05:13.660 --> 0:05:17.380 that much. It's just like... An uncomfortable feeling when you're 0:05:17.420 --> 0:05:20.290 doing it to yourself because you know when it goes 0:05:20.370 --> 0:05:22.670 in and what you're pushing in and it's like the 0:05:22.730 --> 0:05:23.570 mental part of it. 0:05:23.570 --> 0:05:25.510 100%. That makes so much sense. 0:05:25.550 --> 0:05:27.610 Yeah. And even when you're like pinching your own tummy 0:05:27.630 --> 0:05:29.450 and like injecting yourself, like if you're doing it home 0:05:29.490 --> 0:05:32.659 by yourself, it actually can be a little bit fiddly 0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:35.600 rather than if you have someone's help. Like I've had 0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:38.979 someone's help two nights this week. And they've been able 0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:40.580 to like pinch my tummy and then I've been able 0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:41.900 to do the injection. It just means that you've got 0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:43.940 like a free hand to be able to hold the 0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:47.620 needle into yourself. It's very weird. Very weird experience. I 0:05:47.660 --> 0:05:49.039 feel like a qualified nurse. 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:50.060 Yeah, totally. 0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:50.740 I'm totally not. 0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:54.190 It just seems like such an intense thing to have 0:05:54.210 --> 0:05:56.750 to do to yourself, which is really strange because I'm like, 0:05:56.810 --> 0:05:59.669 obviously it's a tiny needle. It's totally safe. It's totally fine. 0:06:00.089 --> 0:06:02.410 You're obviously like kind of trained through the process of 0:06:02.450 --> 0:06:04.469 how to do it right and safely and everything like that. 0:06:05.130 --> 0:06:08.310 But I can imagine I would much rather you shoot 0:06:08.350 --> 0:06:10.150 me in the tummy than have to do it to myself. 0:06:10.190 --> 0:06:10.869 That's the thing. 0:06:10.890 --> 0:06:11.409 Yeah. 0:06:11.630 --> 0:06:13.790 I don't know why I decided when I had help 0:06:13.830 --> 0:06:15.570 this week to not get them to. 0:06:16.070 --> 0:06:16.849 I was thinking that. 0:06:16.970 --> 0:06:18.850 It's more, I think it's more of a control thing 0:06:18.930 --> 0:06:21.849 because I've been doing it for so long. I know 0:06:21.890 --> 0:06:25.050 what to do. They wouldn't have, wouldn't have done it before. 0:06:25.310 --> 0:06:27.070 And I would be scared that they would be scared 0:06:27.110 --> 0:06:28.650 to inject. Does that make sense? 0:06:28.710 --> 0:06:30.690 Totally. Because now you're the pro. You're the one with 0:06:30.710 --> 0:06:34.450 all the experience. Yeah. So does double dosing early mean 0:06:34.470 --> 0:06:36.529 that you're going to have any kind of extra side effects? 0:06:36.610 --> 0:06:39.970 Nah. Nah. It basically means that it's going to like 0:06:40.010 --> 0:06:42.450 kickstart my follicles to grow a little bit more because 0:06:42.529 --> 0:06:44.470 when I did my scan today, they're not quite ready. 0:06:44.490 --> 0:06:45.310 Okay. 0:06:45.370 --> 0:06:47.970 My little follicles. Did you know eggs are microscopic? Did 0:06:47.990 --> 0:06:49.270 we talk about this in our last episode? 0:06:49.610 --> 0:06:49.870 No. 0:06:49.990 --> 0:06:51.810 I don't know if I told you this. I found 0:06:51.830 --> 0:06:55.130 this out the last cycle I did. Our eggs are 0:06:55.390 --> 0:06:56.750 actually microscopic. 0:06:57.110 --> 0:06:59.440 As in, as opposed to what? So the eggs grow 0:06:59.500 --> 0:07:01.390 in our follicles. With the naked eye? 0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:05.080 Yeah. Yeah. Our eggs grow in our follicles and how 0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:07.260 they do this medication is they like inject you with 0:07:07.300 --> 0:07:09.520 hormone so your follicles and your eggs can grow. The 0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:11.320 egg is in the, I'm, I'm, I just want to 0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:12.239 say I'm not a doctor. 0:07:12.260 --> 0:07:14.100 Okay. Let's put that at the top. 0:07:14.120 --> 0:07:15.730 Let's just put that at the very top. I'm not 0:07:15.750 --> 0:07:16.190 a doctor. 0:07:16.430 --> 0:07:18.330 This is not medical advice. This is not medical advice. 0:07:18.370 --> 0:07:20.490 I'm not a doctor. I'm just repeating what the nurse 0:07:20.530 --> 0:07:21.110 said to me. 0:07:21.310 --> 0:07:21.670 Totally. 0:07:21.850 --> 0:07:23.330 But I may have heard it wrong. 0:07:23.510 --> 0:07:26.530 Don't shoot the messenger. Don't shoot the messenger. Don't shoot Adele. 0:07:26.790 --> 0:07:28.970 So what I understand is the follicle, the egg is 0:07:29.010 --> 0:07:32.320 inside the follicle. It's microscopic. They basically do like an 0:07:32.380 --> 0:07:36.400 internal ultrasound, which is always very unusual. And they look 0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:38.940 at the follicles and they measure the size of the follicle. 0:07:39.580 --> 0:07:41.700 And then they want the follicle to be a certain size, 0:07:41.750 --> 0:07:43.750 which means that the egg is ready to retrieve. 0:07:43.830 --> 0:07:44.070 Right. 0:07:44.490 --> 0:07:46.890 And all of my follicles were sitting sort of around 0:07:46.910 --> 0:07:48.610 the 11 mark. And I think they need to be. 0:07:48.570 --> 0:07:49.170 A little bit bigger. 0:07:50.010 --> 0:07:52.350 When the follicles get to a certain size, they're ready 0:07:52.390 --> 0:07:54.360 to retrieve. So then you do a trigger shot to 0:07:54.420 --> 0:07:56.960 ovulate and then they retrieve the eggs for you in 0:07:57.000 --> 0:07:59.980 a day procedure. Then they put those follicles and the eggs, 0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:03.400 they put the eggs in a petri dish, a beautiful 0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:07.580 lab dish. scientists, a lab scientist or just a scientist? 0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:09.080 I'm going to say just a scientist. 0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:10.060 I like lab scientists. 0:08:10.110 --> 0:08:13.610 Lab scientists makes them sound extra fancy, which they are. 0:08:14.110 --> 0:08:18.590 The lab scientist goes with your Petri dish straight into 0:08:18.630 --> 0:08:21.190 the lab, puts them right on. Like I walk in, 0:08:21.430 --> 0:08:24.330 I walk into my day studio. I lie myself on 0:08:24.350 --> 0:08:27.010 the bed before they knock me the fuck out. And 0:08:27.150 --> 0:08:29.170 I get introduced to the scientist that's going to be 0:08:29.210 --> 0:08:30.650 looking at my little babies. 0:08:31.070 --> 0:08:31.390 That is? 0:08:31.410 --> 0:08:33.210 They're very cool. The last one was called Anna. She 0:08:33.270 --> 0:08:34.209 had very pretty eyes. 0:08:34.630 --> 0:08:35.370 We love Anna. 0:08:35.410 --> 0:08:36.090 We love Anna. 0:08:36.450 --> 0:08:37.670 Anna was very, very cute. 0:08:37.910 --> 0:08:40.050 But Anna took my petri dish upstairs whilst I was 0:08:40.590 --> 0:08:43.490 knocked the fuck out, okay? And she looked at my 0:08:43.530 --> 0:08:46.350 little eggies and she was able to say, this one's good, 0:08:46.390 --> 0:08:48.230 this one's bad. We'll get rid of this bad one. 0:08:48.270 --> 0:08:48.490 What? 0:08:48.630 --> 0:08:50.730 This one's not the correct size. Off it goes. And 0:08:50.750 --> 0:08:53.750 they only, like, keep the best eggs. 0:08:53.770 --> 0:08:53.960 Mm-hmm. 0:08:54.590 --> 0:08:56.569 To put in the freezer. So last time I had 0:08:56.570 --> 0:08:59.670 19 that came out and 14 of them were viable 0:08:59.710 --> 0:09:00.989 to sit in the freezer. So they only put the 0:09:01.030 --> 0:09:01.850 best ones in the freezer. 0:09:01.990 --> 0:09:03.530 Wow. So they can tell straight away. 0:09:03.550 --> 0:09:04.990 They can tell straight away, but under the microscope. 0:09:05.190 --> 0:09:07.079 That's, I'm sorry, technology is amazing. 0:09:07.150 --> 0:09:08.000 It's fucking wild. 0:09:08.130 --> 0:09:10.140 Women's health, we have a long way to go, obviously. 0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:11.000 Such a long way to go. 0:09:11.020 --> 0:09:11.820 You often talk about. 0:09:11.940 --> 0:09:15.380 And I found that today as well, I'm classified as 0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:19.940 a medical patient because I've got polycystic and endometriosis. So 0:09:19.980 --> 0:09:22.520 my nurse was just like, oh, because you're listed as 0:09:22.580 --> 0:09:24.599 a medical patient, which I didn't know that I was. 0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:26.480 My doctor's listed me as a medical patient because I've 0:09:26.500 --> 0:09:28.880 got endo and polycystic ovary syndrome. I'm pretty sure it's 0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:31.410 just the endometriosis that you can get listed as a 0:09:31.429 --> 0:09:35.329 medical patient. But the medication that I took is traditionally 0:09:35.330 --> 0:09:39.650 200 plus, that one shot, 200 plus dollars just for 0:09:39.670 --> 0:09:42.330 that one shot. Whereas I picked it up for 25 bucks. Wow. 0:09:43.510 --> 0:09:46.960 No way. Yeah. What the hell? So it's subsidised? 0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:48.840 Because it's subsidised because I'm a medical patient. 0:09:48.860 --> 0:09:49.060 Wow. 0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:53.050 But women that choose to do this electively because it's 0:09:53.050 --> 0:09:54.609 not for medical reasons. 0:09:54.610 --> 0:09:54.920 Yeah. 0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:57.640 They have to pay 200 plus dollars i can't remember 0:09:57.660 --> 0:09:59.920 what exactly it is if she said 260 280 whatever 0:09:59.940 --> 0:10:03.160 the Pfizer said but 200 bucks one fucking shot and 0:10:03.240 --> 0:10:05.910 so how many shots would people be getting well i 0:10:05.929 --> 0:10:09.670 did a double dose today for the pen you wind 0:10:09.710 --> 0:10:11.590 it all the way up to that just two two 0:10:11.630 --> 0:10:14.500 shots Isn't that fucking wild? 0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:15.780 That is crazy. 0:10:16.059 --> 0:10:18.260 So I think all my medication all up just cost 0:10:18.300 --> 0:10:21.000 me under $ 200 and that one shot was $ 200. Anyway, 0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:22.990 so that was my pretty shore. It's been a big 0:10:23.070 --> 0:10:25.210 morning but also a nothing morning at the same time. 0:10:25.550 --> 0:10:30.350 What have I really done? What have I really done? Unsure. 0:10:30.470 --> 0:10:31.410 You've had a shot in the belly. 0:10:31.429 --> 0:10:32.230 I've had a shot in the belly. 0:10:32.250 --> 0:10:33.110 You've done your meetings. 0:10:33.230 --> 0:10:34.120 I've done my meetings. 0:10:34.130 --> 0:10:34.670 You've got your matcha. 0:10:34.740 --> 0:10:38.239 And I've had an internal ultrasound and Gracie Grace brought 0:10:38.260 --> 0:10:38.640 me matcha. 0:10:39.820 --> 0:10:40.679 And it's delightful. 0:10:40.700 --> 0:10:43.100 Let's take a little sip actually. Just ASMR. 0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:47.520 Ready? Oh, yeah, lovely. 0:10:48.000 --> 0:10:51.199 All right, let's move on to as of late because 0:10:51.220 --> 0:10:53.439 I really want to speak about this today. We might 0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:56.970 have some sceptics that might not like this as of late. 0:10:57.470 --> 0:10:59.150 If my sister's listening to this episode, she's going to 0:10:59.170 --> 0:11:01.329 roll her eyes. I can actually just hear her eyes 0:11:01.390 --> 0:11:03.210 rolling into the back of her head as we speak. 0:11:03.809 --> 0:11:06.250 But I saw my light healer on the weekend. 0:11:06.530 --> 0:11:07.469 Your light healer? 0:11:07.530 --> 0:11:10.089 My light healer. Now, let me explain what a light 0:11:10.110 --> 0:11:10.530 healer is. 0:11:10.770 --> 0:11:11.069 Please do. 0:11:12.120 --> 0:11:17.730 I never really fully believed psychics. Like I never really 0:11:17.870 --> 0:11:21.530 understood them. I always think I was a sceptic. I 0:11:21.550 --> 0:11:25.070 would say I was a sceptic because how often do 0:11:25.130 --> 0:11:28.790 any of them speak absolute fucking rubbish? How many of 0:11:28.850 --> 0:11:32.560 them are actually psychics? You will never know, right? But 0:11:32.980 --> 0:11:34.960 when I came back from Europe last year and my 0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:39.730 life went to shit, one of my friends, Jade– Shout 0:11:39.750 --> 0:11:42.890 out to her. She was like, you have to see 0:11:43.450 --> 0:11:46.329 this light healer. Your life will change. You'll have to 0:11:46.370 --> 0:11:49.320 see it. See her, sorry. The only reason why I 0:11:49.410 --> 0:11:55.380 did see her is because she's also Greek Orthodox, which 0:11:56.360 --> 0:12:00.380 is quite contradicting what I'm about to say, because she 0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:03.969 has this beautiful story about how she became a light healer. 0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:07.060 She wasn't always a light healer, but she does... weave 0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:09.920 in a lot of elements of our religion into like, 0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:12.620 I would say her psychic abilities, but I think it goes, 0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:15.220 I think it surpasses being a psychic. I think she's 0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:19.980 able to see the other side, which is crazy. When 0:12:20.040 --> 0:12:24.020 I first saw her quite literally, I mean, what, what 0:12:24.059 --> 0:12:27.140 date is it now when we're recording? I saw her 0:12:27.610 --> 0:12:29.780 one year and one month ago when I came back. 0:12:30.970 --> 0:12:35.729 Everything that she said would come true has come true. 0:12:36.030 --> 0:12:39.840 I have so many questions. Yeah. Okay. So a light 0:12:39.860 --> 0:12:42.479 healer is a psychic. Is there a difference between light 0:12:42.520 --> 0:12:43.040 healer and psychic? 0:12:43.059 --> 0:12:45.220 I don't really know. I don't really know if she 0:12:45.260 --> 0:12:47.540 wants to call herself a psychic. So I'm trying to 0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:50.300 be like respectful. She calls herself a light healer. 0:12:50.420 --> 0:12:52.839 She's rebranded to light healer. She's rebranded. 0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:56.970 I love that. She's rebranded to light healer. But yeah, 0:12:57.110 --> 0:13:00.939 I think it surpasses being a psychic. Like She can 0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:03.380 see things that are going to happen and she can 0:13:03.460 --> 0:13:04.920 also speak to the spirits. 0:13:05.580 --> 0:13:09.510 What the hell? So have her predictions and things that 0:13:09.550 --> 0:13:12.390 she told you. Everything she said has come true. Part 0:13:12.470 --> 0:13:15.410 one thing. Being so specific that you are now a 0:13:15.450 --> 0:13:17.070 reformed skeptic. You're on board. 0:13:17.090 --> 0:13:20.620 Like to the point where she pulled out names and 0:13:20.740 --> 0:13:22.900 every name she pulls out, she goes, write this name down, 0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:25.470 write this name down, write this name down. And she 0:13:25.510 --> 0:13:27.930 said a particular name and I won't say it, but 0:13:27.970 --> 0:13:30.429 she said a particular name and she said like this 0:13:30.510 --> 0:13:33.489 particular person will cross your path and will show you 0:13:33.870 --> 0:13:37.360 the way and will ground you, like will intrinsically ground you. 0:13:37.380 --> 0:13:38.480 And that's happened. 0:13:38.820 --> 0:13:42.800 And someone came across my path a week later. I 0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:46.640 didn't realise that was the name that she brought forward 0:13:46.679 --> 0:13:49.100 because English and Greek names are very different. Like my 0:13:49.120 --> 0:13:54.270 Greek name is Adamantia, which means diamond and I love that. 0:13:54.290 --> 0:13:55.589 My mother didn't want to give me a life on 0:13:55.610 --> 0:13:57.050 the pole, so she called me Adele. 0:13:57.890 --> 0:13:58.220 You know. 0:13:59.620 --> 0:14:01.140 I reckon I could have been great on the pole. 0:14:01.300 --> 0:14:02.260 God, you would have rocked it. 0:14:02.460 --> 0:14:06.720 I reckon. With my flexibility, I could have made some cash. 0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:07.959 God, what a missed opportunity. 0:14:08.020 --> 0:14:11.449 Missed opportunity. I mean, life's not that short. It could 0:14:11.470 --> 0:14:11.969 still happen. 0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:12.530 What could it be? 0:14:13.410 --> 0:14:15.990 But that person came across my lap and I was like, oh, 0:14:16.030 --> 0:14:18.590 this is the person she was talking about. But it wasn't. 0:14:18.850 --> 0:14:22.770 The same name came across my lap a month later and– 0:14:23.530 --> 0:14:24.850 has been the person that's grounded me. 0:14:25.450 --> 0:14:26.100 Whoa. 0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:28.220 She said that person will ground you, that person will 0:14:28.240 --> 0:14:31.600 challenge you, and it's exactly what's happened. That's not the 0:14:31.740 --> 0:14:33.900 only thing that she said to me. She said, you're 0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:36.460 going to go, you know, I see this particular country 0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:40.570 for you. Without her knowing what I had already booked in, 0:14:41.300 --> 0:14:43.130 when I went into my first meeting with her, I 0:14:43.610 --> 0:14:46.370 didn't tell her anything, nothing. And when I say nothing, 0:14:46.450 --> 0:14:48.290 I mean there were things that she said that I 0:14:48.310 --> 0:14:50.770 have never put online before, that there's no way you 0:14:50.790 --> 0:14:54.760 could have guessed. And she knew what was going to happen. 0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:57.420 And what I was doing, what I was currently, it 0:14:57.440 --> 0:15:00.220 was fucking insane. And I don't want to tell everybody 0:15:00.260 --> 0:15:03.910 because it's personal. But names of people that she dropped 0:15:03.930 --> 0:15:06.690 have all come across my lap. They've all said, they've 0:15:06.710 --> 0:15:09.850 all done what she said they're going to do. Just crazy, 0:15:09.890 --> 0:15:10.550 crazy shit. 0:15:11.150 --> 0:15:14.560 And what about with the spirits element? You said she 0:15:14.580 --> 0:15:18.160 can talk to the other side. How has that presented itself? 0:15:18.460 --> 0:15:21.860 Well, she did say, and this sounds like a bit voodoo, 0:15:21.900 --> 0:15:25.150 but I do truly believe it. My grandfather who has 0:15:25.210 --> 0:15:29.050 passed away was a man of the church. And when 0:15:29.110 --> 0:15:32.250 I did come home last year from Europe, she literally 0:15:32.410 --> 0:15:35.950 said that your like grandfather has brought the truth forward 0:15:36.030 --> 0:15:40.700 for you because intrinsically he knows how important marriage is 0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:43.680 under the roof of the Greek Orthodox church. We have 0:15:43.700 --> 0:15:46.320 these things called the Stefana, which are like these crowns 0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:50.640 that are linked together by a ribbon. Sometimes it's ribbon 0:15:51.020 --> 0:15:54.170 and it, it, it, quite literally links man to woman, 0:15:54.210 --> 0:15:56.230 woman to man. And you cross it over and you 0:15:56.270 --> 0:15:58.320 have your, we call them our Gulbada, which is our 0:15:58.790 --> 0:16:00.820 best man, but it goes further than a best man 0:16:00.880 --> 0:16:04.080 or a best woman. It's sort of they're the initially 0:16:04.100 --> 0:16:07.220 or traditionally the person that will be the godmother or 0:16:07.260 --> 0:16:08.200 good father for your children. 0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:08.960 Oh, wow. 0:16:09.360 --> 0:16:12.360 So they cross these stefana, these crowns, and they link 0:16:12.420 --> 0:16:17.080 husband to wife, wife to husband. And she said, because 0:16:17.100 --> 0:16:19.660 he is a man of the church, He knows how 0:16:19.740 --> 0:16:21.840 important it is to you and to him and to 0:16:21.860 --> 0:16:25.200 the family to get married underneath the crowns. And he 0:16:25.260 --> 0:16:30.040 brought the truth forward before anything could happen underneath those crowns. 0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:33.060 And like that can be quite sceptic for some people, 0:16:33.120 --> 0:16:36.090 but like that in itself, I fully believe it because 0:16:36.210 --> 0:16:38.810 number one, I did not tell her how many grandparents 0:16:38.870 --> 0:16:42.540
