1
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: We weren't looking for anyone, and I think that was

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: a sign, was the fact that I wasn't looking for anyone.

3
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:09,480
Speaker 1: I was really working on myself and miss literally just

4
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 1: fell out of the sky. And you know, just this

5
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 1: man with all the qualities that I dreamed of that

6
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:18,080
Speaker 1: I manifested. You know, literally, it felt like he dropped

7
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: out of the sky.

8
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:25,200

00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:44,080

00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 5: Yummy yamay?

36
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 6: Hello?

37
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 3: Okay, now okay, you have to explain to me what

38
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 3: what's you say?

39
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 2: Yama yama?

40
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, not yummy yummy? I am no.

41
00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 2: He was definitely an ah.

42
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 5: That is a greeting. It's one of our ways we

43
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 5: can greet one another. So hello in my language? There,

44
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 5: how do you say helo in your language? Beautiful?

45
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 2: How do you say hello in your language?

46
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 4: Are hia more than that?

47
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 3: But yeah, you guys have such an interesting story.

48
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 2: Can you let us how did you meet?

49
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 5: I mean, we live in an online world, but music

50
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 5: was the it was a factor, but I think it

51
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 5: was more both the love and passion we've got for

52
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 5: our respective cultures. I think that's what really resonated at first, like,

53
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 5: and we could both see that from the outset, from

54
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 5: an online perspective and from you know, just catching up

55
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 5: and having conversations and stuff, that there was a real

56
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 5: connection there on a cultural, spiritual level first and foremost.

57
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 5: And I think from there we realized that we had

58
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 5: a lot more in common and connected. But that was

59
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 5: would you say that, I agree, yes.

60
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 3: So you came to each other's attention via the world

61
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 3: Wide Web.

62
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 5: It's a pretty small arts community. So yeah, Leah was

63
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 5: obviously obviously you just guys don't know. She was a

64
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 5: lead singer of Melbourne based the Black Sisters West Papulin band,

65
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 5: which she fronted and basically as a founding member. So

66
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 5: they were doing lots of stuff, and I think I

67
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 5: was doing some things.

68
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,519
Speaker 6: And we had a lot of mutual friends.

69
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, never actually crossed paths, and then I would

70
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 5: have remembered and then it just happened. But it was

71
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 5: one of them weird things once it happened, Like we'd

72
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 5: never you know, really cross paths, but once it happened,

73
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 5: it was one of them weird things. Like I was

74
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 5: rolling out of an audition, Leah was walking into a

75
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 5: job interview, Like we just stayed place, crossing randomly crossing

76
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 5: paths everywhere.

77
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 4: So yeah, things, you know you're on the right track

78
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 4: when you just randomly keep on bumping into each other, right,

79
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 4: It's like, hang on a minute.

80
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 5: Well, Lea wouldn't wrap up the conversations. I'm like, we've

81
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 5: been for fifteen hours, and like she'd just keep it going.

82
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 3: So and you got married in April this year, So

83
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 3: how long was the courtship before when you met you

84
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 3: finally got together and then you got married in April,

85
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 3: and what was the wedding?

86
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 5: Like, So we met in like twenty and eighteen, is

87
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 5: that right?

88
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:18,120

Speaker 6: Early twenty eighteen.

90
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, OK, I think. Yeah, we didn't kiss or anything

91
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 5: for like a twelve months. We just legit got to

92
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 5: know each other on a real level. I suppose, not

93
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 5: that other people don't, but you know, like we spent

94
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 5: a lot of time just talking and really getting to

95
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,800

00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: the whole getting their hair done and the makeup.

105

Speaker 6: And the beautiful dresses.

106
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: Just the whole process was just so much fun, and

107
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: it was just beautiful to see the girls so excited.

108
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 1: They loved Mitch as well, So it was just an amazing,

109
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: beautiful experience for the family, you know.

110
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, no doubt to be able to share it with them.

111
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 4: How have they been with the birth of now your

112
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 4: fourth daughter, Phoenix.

113
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 5: We're planning number five now, that's how are we still.

114
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 6: Waiting for the boy?

115
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 3: No, they must be excited with Phoenix. They must be

116
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 3: excited with the baby.

117
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 6: They love her so much, they absolutely adore her.

118
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's next level.

119
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 7: It's really beautiful.

120
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,359
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, we did kind of prepare ourselves

121
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: for all different scenarios, you know, yeah, for when she

122
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: did finally enter into our family, but it's just has been.

123
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 6: We couldn't ask for a better transition.

124
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, it's been beautiful. The girls are just pumped,

125
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 5: and it's it's great, you know, Like it's funny because

126
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 5: you know, as I'm sure you know, like babies are

127
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 5: so smart, and she's realized that if someone puts her down,

128
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 5: someone picks her up. So the minute that she knows

129
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 5: she's been put down for like a minute, it's like, hey,

130
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 5: what he's doing, something will come. She's smart. She knows

131
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 5: that one sister arm's tired, another another will pick me up,

132
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 5: or he comes dad or mum.

133
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 7: It's pretty funny.

134
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 1: The bassinette's just there for decoration, literally exactly.

135
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 5: I said to her the other day. Honestly, we need

136
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 5: to just get rid of this cot. Let's sell it

137
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 5: and just get a super king bed.

138
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 1: Right king, Yeah, yeah, that's what we need because our

139
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: five year old still makes her way into the bed

140
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: with us.

141
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 3: So, Mitch, you mentioned that you've been preparing mentally for

142
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 3: many years to become a dad.

143
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 2: What do you mean by that.

144
00:06:58,320 --> 00:06:59,599
Speaker 7: I've goat with a single mum.

145
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 5: You know, I see my dad and what not in school,

146
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 5: holidays and all the rest of it. It's all good,

147
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 5: but I think and then I lost him to cancer

148
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 5: at twenty two. So although my pop was sort of

149
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 5: my everyday I guess male role model, I think it

150
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 5: paints a different perspective for you and your journey, and

151
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 5: I think I just kind of it imprinted on me

152
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 5: in a different way, thinking about becoming a father one

153
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 5: day and maybe how I wanted to be in that.

154
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 5: You know. So I think because I spent a lot

155
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 5: of time just reflecting and trying to work through some

156
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 5: of my own things, just I guess for this moment.

157
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 5: And it's funny because the moment comes and you're still

158
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 5: the same old Mitch, but you just go through this

159
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 5: constant thought process.

160
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 3: You know, you met Leah as you said she had

161
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 3: three kids when you met her.

162
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 2: Was that a consideration for you?

163
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 3: Were you? Wow?

164
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 2: Was that a surprise or how'd that go?

165
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 5: It wasn't next to my likes long walks along the beach,

166
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 5: it was, you know, because you're, I guess at the time,

167
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 5: you're a single dude just living your life. You know.

168
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 5: It's like it's not a thing of I don't want this,

169
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 5: It's just I think in my brain, it just wasn't

170
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 5: on my agenda that I would meet someone that had.

171
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 7: Three girls, you know.

172
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, So when it happened, though, like we had like

173
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 5: lots of long conversations about that and about me and

174
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 5: about my I guess, not worries, but like how I

175
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 5: would be in that if I you know, I guess

176
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 5: a bit of self doubt. But I think it comes

177
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 5: to a point where, well, for me, first and foremost,

178
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 5: it was like, yes, the kids are great, but more importantly,

179
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 5: it's Lea that I'm in love with, and she's the

180
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 5: one that's amazing. And do I really want to just

181
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 5: forsake something so beautiful, you know, when just because there's

182
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 5: three beautiful kids involved, you know what I mean, and

183
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 5: it might entail some extra you know, capacity or whatever.

184
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 1: Ye.

185
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 5: So I think I was just more concerned because I

186
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 5: realized the commitment and I didn't want it to be like, Okay,

187
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 5: let's just do it and halfway through, you know what,

188
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 5: I think, I'm just going to go and gig and

189
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 5: just do me. I didn't want to be that guy.

190
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 5: So I think I just put more pressure on me

191
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 5: in the situation because I wanted to make the decision

192
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 5: and then be able to just be committed within that

193
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 5: decision and you.

194
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 7: Know, let us come into it together and build our life.

195
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 7: I suppose if that makes sense, that's beautiful.

196
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 4: I mean, that is you've gone from you know, yeah,

197
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 4: as you said a single man to father of four

198
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 4: marriage or in the year. That's that's a big leap

199
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 4: and a wonderful leave.

200
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:31,079
Speaker 5: I'm sure it's a big leap, but no, it's been great.

201
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 5: It's been a beautiful transition. And like I think, if

202
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 5: you're open to growth and open to reflection, you know,

203
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 5: it becomes even more of a journey because you look

204
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 5: back and like, wow, even now, it's funny because you know,

205
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 5: Lea would get a little bit wild at me because

206
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:48,199
Speaker 5: I'd be like, oh, you know, I just don't know

207
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,079
Speaker 5: how I'm going to go with baby and the sleep thing,

208
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 5: Like I don't know how I'm going to be getting

209
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 5: up and all that, and like you get into it

210
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 5: and it's just different because it's it's your beautiful, precious child,

211
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 5: and you just you start capacity and errors you thought

212
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 5: you never would, you know, and where you might feel

213
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 5: you'd become like, you know, not very patient or whatever,

214
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 5: all of a sudden, you've got all this patience and

215
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 5: you're not really affected by all that. It becomes the

216
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 5: small stuff, doesn't it.

217
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, going back to when we first met,

218
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 1: I think if I didn't feel that that Mitch had

219
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: the capacity, there's no way I would put either of

220
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 1: us in that situation, especially my children. You know, when

221
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 1: we first met, I told him there's you're looking at me,

222
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: but there's four of us.

223
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 5: Yeah right, That's what really made me go. You know,

224
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 5: I love Leah, but you know there's there's a real

225
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 5: reality here, and you've just been living your life, you know,

226
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 5: jump on a plane when you want, do whatever you want,

227
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 5: you know, and that's and if you know you want

228
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 5: to do this, that's not the reality anymore. Is there's

229
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 5: you and Lea, but there's also three others that also

230
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 5: come before everything else too, And are you ready to

231
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 5: make that commitment? But I think, like I can go

232
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 5: on all day, but the reality is too is Lea

233
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 5: is like such a super patient, unconditional, loving person too,

234
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 5: which has made the road for me probably you know,

235
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 5: like gold plated to walk on after the transition, you know,

236
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 5: because you have your bad days. You know, no one's perfect,

237
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 5: but Lea's just always steadfast and very patient and you know,

238
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 5: unconditional with it all.

239
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 3: Wow, thank you, Leah, you got the rock star husband.

240
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 3: There was there was there a moment where the light

241
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 3: switch went off to go, yep, he's got the green

242
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,559
Speaker 3: light he's going to be my man, and I trust

243
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 3: him with my three kids, my most precious cargo. Was

244
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 3: there any moment or a time that you can share

245
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 3: where where that was became clear to you?

246
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: Ah, it was pretty early, And this is crazy, I know,

247
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 1: but because there's a couple of years age gap between

248
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: us as well. But I think just the fact that

249
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 1: he was he is such a respectful guy, full of integrity.

250
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 1: You know, he was always so honest with me, and

251
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 1: I felt like I could trust him pretty early, pretty

252
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 1: early in the piece. So and just how he was

253
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: able to listen to me and.

254
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 6: Just it's for me.

255
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 1: It's the respect that he had for me, and how

256
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 1: he really valued me as a woman and a woman

257
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: that still had big dreams. You know, even though we

258
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: met when I was a single mum, and you know,

259
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: I was in a bit of a rough patch where

260
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: I was thinking, is this what my life.

261
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 6: Is going to be like? Because I don't want to go.

262
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: Out there and just date anyone. I used the time

263
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:52,959
Speaker 1: also like we were kind of in that same position,

264
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: just at different stages of our life where we weren't

265
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 1: looking for anyone. And I think that was a sign,

266
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 1: was the fact that I wasn't looking for anyone. I

267
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: was really working on myself. I just wanted to be

268
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 1: the best mother I could possibly be. But I was

269
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 1: so tired working in like three jobs. And Misch literally

270
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: just fell out of the sky. And you know, just

271
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 1: this man that I've with all the qualities that I

272
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: dreamed of that I manifested. You know, literally, it felt

273
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: like he dropped out of the sky and he was

274
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: from there. I was just able to just be myself

275
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 1: and not put on a any kind of like I

276
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: didn't have a game faceline or anything like that. I

277
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 1: was like, you know, if it works, well, this is

278
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,959
Speaker 1: me take take me, take us, or leave us.

279
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 4: You know, yeah, Mitch, clearly you're I mean clearly you.

280
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 4: As Leah said, you've got a lot of integrity. You're

281
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 4: someone who's clearly very conscious and willing to look at

282
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 4: themselves and work on themselves. Where did that get instilled from?

283
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 5: Oh, that's a great question.

284
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 7: I mean probably from my mom.

285
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, and Nen and Pop, like you know, that's the

286
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 5: little things you remember, Like Pop would always be you know,

287
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 5: if you give, if you shake someone's hand and you

288
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,079
Speaker 5: give them your word, you follow through, like just them

289
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 5: old school values and things like that. But I think

290
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 5: with regards to me and Leah, it was just being

291
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 5: really conscious that there's three little lives at stake, and

292
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 5: we're adults, and it's all right to just you know,

293
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 5: have fun or whatever you want to do on your date.

294
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 5: But when there's three little lives involved, you know, it's

295
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 5: another ball game. You know, you don't need to break

296
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 5: break three little hearts, you know. And I think for

297
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 5: me it was just I was honest with Leah with

298
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 5: like my imperfections. You know, I'd be like, you know,

299
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 5: I'm very driven, I want a career. At times, maybe

300
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 5: that can come across as selfish, but this is who

301
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 5: I am, and I don't want this to impact blah

302
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 5: blah blah blah blah.

303
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 7: We had, really we had.

304
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 5: Really intense, honest conversations that let us down a path

305
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 5: of something really fruitful in the end, you know. But

306
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 5: I think that was the beauty of just hanging out

307
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 5: through you know, like twelve months is you know, when

308
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 5: there's silent air, the only thing you can do is

309
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 5: take a sip with via a cup of peppermint tea,

310
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 5: or open up the conversation further.

311
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 3: You know, Yeah, yeah, you put an Instagram post up

312
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 3: Mitch that I really enjoyed.

313
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 2: You're talking about the importance of risk.

314
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 3: Can you share more about those feelings.

315
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 5: The start of that year, I had realized that I

316
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 5: have anxiety and that I had allowed anxiety to hold

317
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 5: me captive for so many amazing moments in my life

318
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 5: where I could have I was excelling, but I could

319
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 5: have taken it to the next level, whether it be

320
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 5: in sport or whatever it may have been. And when

321
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 5: it dawned on me, I realized that what anxiety really

322
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 5: burst is fear and in me anyway my personal experience.

323
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 5: So funnily enough, that year, I just made the decision

324
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 5: that I would remain open to opportunities and embrace opportunity

325
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 5: rather than look at the reasons why not to it.

326
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 5: And it's funny because I started off quite small. I

327
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 5: was playing in a query basketball knockout, and I made

328
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 5: this path with myself that the time I went to

329
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 5: the free throw line, I would cut fear off my life.

330
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 7: So every time I went.

331
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 5: To the free throw line, I'd be like, I rebuke

332
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 5: fear and anxiety off my life.

333
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 7: You have no place in my life. It's over.

334
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 5: And I would shoot these free throws and I was

335
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 5: hitting them. You know, it was like doing something for me.

336
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 5: It was like relaxing me. And then not long after that,

337
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 5: opportunities AGT come and all the rest of it, and

338
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 5: I just kept bringing myself back to that and also

339
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 5: back to you know what, man like if you get

340
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 5: on stage and you hit a bung note and this

341
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 5: all goes south, It's literally just a tear drop in

342
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 5: the ocean, Like it's not a big deal. You know

343
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 5: what matters is just getting out there and having a

344
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 5: crack and for me one day being able to I

345
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 5: guess say to Phoenix, now you know what, like Dad

346
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 5: went out how to go, Like, there's no reason for

347
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 5: you to just not go and chase your dreams.

348
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 3: Just get it and look, I'm totally with you. When

349
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 3: I was a kid, I had a stutter and was

350
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 3: had and that was a lot around caused from anxiety.

351
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 2: I'm sure you.

352
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 3: Mentioned AGT before Austraighter's Got Talent. You sung the Voice,

353
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 3: which has become a bit of an iconic moment, and

354
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 3: also it seemed like quite a big launch pad for you.

355
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 3: Did you feel like that was a risk to do

356
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 3: that a big song.

357
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:16,199
Speaker 5: At that moment, I didn't care anymore, Like it sounds funny. Yeah,

358
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 5: I got through the golden buzzer like and I was

359
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,199
Speaker 5: through the next round. And literally the next day my

360
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 5: manager rang me and we're like, what should we do next?

361
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 5: You know, let's get on the horse and get moving.

362
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 5: And we chucked that on the table and I was

363
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,360
Speaker 5: just like, you know what, Yeah, I'm keen, let's get it.

364
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:34,120
Speaker 7: Let's do this.

365
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 5: If you had asked me like three months prior, I

366
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 5: would have just said, hey, you know what you can

367
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:40,919
Speaker 5: do with that?

368
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 7: There's no chance I'm doing this.

369
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 5: I wouldn't have even entertained the thoughts to even be

370
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 5: a part of bringing it to the table, do you

371
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 5: know what I mean? Yeah, But I just I'd put

372
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 5: myself in a position where I'd committed to myself, and

373
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 5: that was to embrace opportunity, embrace opportunity to grow.

374
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:55,239
Speaker 7: And I was like, let's do it.

375
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,919
Speaker 5: And it was in that moment that I was like, well,

376
00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 5: how am I going to do it? Because I've never

377
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 5: actually sung like this in my life. I better get

378
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 5: some singing lessons then and do it. And that's where

379
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 5: it happened. Like I'd only ever sung in a traditional

380
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 5: style of singing. I'd never actually sung in like you know, Niani,

381
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 5: like actual singing.

382
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:14,199
Speaker 7: I've never done it.

383
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 5: So it was it was a season of growth for

384
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 5: me in a lot of ways.

385
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 4: It was so when we left. We've lived in America

386
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 4: for twenty five years. When we left Australia, you know,

387
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:28,919
Speaker 4: it was John Farnham's version of it was huge. And

388
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 4: then I remember they actually showed it in America for

389
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 4: some reason. We got to see it in America and

390
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 4: I remember we all stood around the TV watching you

391
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 4: sing your version of it, and it was absolutely phenomenal.

392
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 2: It was chilling.

393
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 4: It was chilling. We all put at each other and went,

394
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,919
Speaker 4: what's happening in Australia that you know this has become

395
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 4: the thing? Let's this is so exciting to see, you know,

396
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 4: the indigenous language get a front and center moment like that.

397
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 4: And it's just been and You've gone from strength to

398
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,400
Speaker 4: strength from there. And I'm just watching the baby come

399
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 4: on screen and I'm going to have a conniption.

400
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:09,879

426
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:15,120
Speaker 5: also means strong. So we've got a Wollombar program geared

427
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 5: towards kids in and out of foster care, on the

428
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 5: brink of juvenile justice, just schools, and it's all about

429
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 5: average and education and inclusiveness and so Yeah, we created

430
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 5: the clothing line to coincide with that, just to bring

431
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 5: awareness to what we do outside of music, because we've

432
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 5: got a collectively a massive heart for all kids and

433
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,399
Speaker 5: you know, definitely kids of diverse backgrounds and stories, and

434
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 5: just trying to do our best to impart where we can,

435
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 5: and yeah, take a positive message wherever we go.

436
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 7: I guess, yeah, Leah.

437
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 4: Your dad was a very prominent musician and also a

438
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:52,959
Speaker 4: really important activist as well. What did he teach you?

439
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 6: Oh, that's a really good question.

440
00:20:57,880 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 7: So much.

441
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,199
Speaker 1: Dad was my rock, like I am, I am the

442
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,159
Speaker 1: woman I am today because of my dad.

443
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 6: I guess the.

444
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 1: Most important thing he's taught me is family, how important

445
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 1: family is and one hundred percent of my culture and

446
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 1: how important it is for me to keep that close

447
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 1: to my heart. And it's really hard to explain how

448
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 1: important culture is to me because I wasn't able to

449
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: practice our culture back home because I was living in

450
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 1: exile my entire life.

451
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 6: And so did my dad.

452
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,640
Speaker 1: Like we moved here as refugees when I was eight

453
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 1: years old, and culture was all we had.

454
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 6: You know, English was my fourth third language or something

455
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 6: like that.

456
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 1: And so yeah, he really taught me how important it

457
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 1: is to remember who you are and remember where you

458
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 1: come from, because you know, no one can take that

459
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,120
Speaker 1: away from you. It's in your DNA. I could be

460
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 1: you know, it doesn't matter where I am in this world.

461
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 1: Culture is what makes me me, and culture is what

462
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:14,439
Speaker 1: makes me strong, what keeps me connected, and is what

463
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:15,199
Speaker 1: protects me.

464
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, so that would be the most important thing that

465
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 6: he taught me.

466
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 3: It's an incredible, incredible story you two, and you're both

467
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 3: involved in mental health and with cultural healing. What's the

468
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 3: biggest need right now that indigenous culture has in regards

469
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 3: to mental health that we need or.

470
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 7: Have to offer well both.

471
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 5: Actually, I think being able to go back to our

472
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 5: respective countries and connect is massive for our mental health. Unfortunately,

473
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 5: not all of us have that opportunity because of the

474
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 5: harsh realities of the stolen generation and things like that.

475
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 5: And also there's some stat out now, I think in

476
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 5: New South Wales. I won't quote it because I don't

477
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 5: know it properly, but it's about how many sacred sites

478
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 5: are desecrated a week with you know, all the mining

479
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 5: and things happening, and the heartache that comes from that

480
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 5: is horrific, and you know, like for anyone listening out there,

481
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:27,399
Speaker 5: like you might see Aboriginal people protesting against minds, and

482
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 5: you see all this going on, but it's hard to

483
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,479
Speaker 5: really digest it unless you go and actually have a

484
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 5: relationship with a blackfella, you know, and actually feel that

485
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,400
Speaker 5: that hurt and pain. Because it's not just a rock.

486
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 5: It's the way that I describe it. It's like someone

487
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 5: just deciding, you know what, let's put a mine right

488
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:48,919
Speaker 5: there in the Vatican. We're just kind of blow it up.

489
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 5: Let's just blow it up. Yeah, it's the heart of

490
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 5: the whole Catholic faith in it.

491
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 7: But I'll be right, You'll be right.

492
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 5: You've got churches over there and over there, and it's

493
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:59,159
Speaker 5: all good, you know. But we're talking about cultural sites

494
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 5: that are the equivalent of Vatican but have been here

495
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 5: over sixty thousand years, and we're talking about a culture

496
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 5: that's already been dismantled in so many different ways, and

497
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 5: we're all trying to put pieces back together and heal

498
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 5: our spirit, and we need as many sacred sites and

499
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 5: places that we can go and connect to, you know,

500
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 5: not just for me, but for Phoenix, Yeah, you know,

501
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 5: so that one day she can go back and be

502
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 5: like wow, you know this is a birth in cave.

503
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:27,880
Speaker 5: You know, it brings this thing.

504
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 7: It's so spiritual that you just it's just a connection.

505
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,679
Speaker 7: It's just this connection on such a deep level. You know.

506
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 5: You go there and you go to these places and

507
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,159
Speaker 5: it's just feeling. You know, it's like whoa, It's just

508
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,919
Speaker 5: this feeling of wow, you know, my people walked here and.

509
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:44,719
Speaker 7: That's in me and I'm a part of that.

510
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 5: And it's not even just speaking it out, like it's

511
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,159
Speaker 5: a feeling like wow this Wow, I'm actually tied to this.

512
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 7: I can feel it. It's crazy.

513
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 5: So I think being able to access countries massive for

514
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 5: our mental health and not just access it, but be

515
00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,919
Speaker 5: able to go there and be able to work the

516
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 5: and what I mean like do control burning. Yeah, look

517
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 5: after take control of the rivers, the waterways, start healing

518
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 5: those waterways, you know, because for us it's like healing

519
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 5: comes in country, you know, it comes in being able

520
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 5: to go back and just lay in the river. But

521
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 5: how can I lay in a river that's just full

522
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,679
Speaker 5: of toxins and chemicals that have just run off from

523
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 5: a farm. I can't do that because that river is

524
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 5: sick and I'm going to be sick from that. But

525
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 5: if that river's flourishing well, then I'm going to come

526
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 5: out of that feeling renewed.

527
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 7: You know what I mean. It's hard to really depict it,

528
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 7: but that's massive.

529
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:36,199
Speaker 5: And I think what we have to offer other people

530
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 5: and others in terms of mental health is peace. Because

531
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 5: you come out into our country and you sit under

532
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 5: that open night sky and you look up into them

533
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 5: stars around that beautiful warm fire, and you sit there

534
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 5: from sunset when those birds are going off, and you

535
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 5: hear them sing, and you feel that beautiful pastoral sunset

536
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 5: setting before you, and then you sit under those stars

537
00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 5: and hear us talk about our stories. That's in that

538
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 5: other than peace, is unconditional love, and that that is universal.

539
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 5: That's for you, it's for Cam, it's for all of

540
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 5: us to experience. You know, our culture is not selfish.

541
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:14,160
Speaker 5: It's a culture that you come in, you come in respectful,

542
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 5: with an open heart, and you'll walk away with an

543
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 5: extended family, you know.

544
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 7: And I think in terms of mental.

545
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,639
Speaker 5: Health and in terms of the forever changing society that

546
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 5: we're in that where you know, multimedia and all these

547
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 5: things are constantly shoved down our throat what we have

548
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 5: to offer people right now is a disconnection from that

549
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 5: and a complete connection to something else that's just full

550
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 5: of unconditional love.

551
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 3: Well said, really really Well said, thank you. We do

552
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 3: a thing which you kind of do a similar thing

553
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,640
Speaker 3: in Tambo time, which is your Facebook TV show right

554
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:48,639
Speaker 3: called Diving Deep. We do it.

555
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 2: We have a thing called the two Minute Shower that

556
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:51,439
Speaker 2: you'd like.

557
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we're into water conservation where we want to

558
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,360
Speaker 3: take care of your river and not put too many

559
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,119
Speaker 3: toxins in there. So we keep our handsers short. We

560
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 3: would like answers from both of you on these questions.

561
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:07,640
Speaker 3: The first question is what is your best quality?

562
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 7: Just in the home?

563
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,400
Speaker 5: I'd say in the home, I would just say cleaning.

564
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 2: Cleaning, that's a new one.

565
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:15,640
Speaker 4: We haven't heard that, Leah.

566
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 3: What's your best quality?

567
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:18,640
Speaker 7: It's very diversified.

568
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: In the house, I would just say just being present, beautiful.

569
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 5: Is there one you beat me?

570
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:29,120
Speaker 3: That's not a competition made.

571
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 2: There's no right or wrong in this, but.

572
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 6: I agree with yours best cleaner to trust me.

573
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,120
Speaker 4: Every woman listening to this just went.

574
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, Allie, I don't have to ask him to

575
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 1: clean mate.

576
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:49,639
Speaker 3: Good thing there, Leah and Leah. If Allison was being honest,

577
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 3: she would say, I don't have to ask my husband

578
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 3: to clean either.

579
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:53,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, That's what.

580
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 4: I'm going to say to you right now. Okay, next question,

581
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:02,679
Speaker 4: is there one moment in your life you would like

582
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:07,919
Speaker 4: to revisit now? It doesn't necessarily mean you know, bad, good, whatever,

583
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 4: but just a moment you'd love to have again.

584
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:15,159
Speaker 6: Our wedding, Oh beautiful, I would.

585
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 1: Say, I'm still like, I think about our wedding and

586
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 1: I'm oh, I'd still get butterflies thinking about how perfect

587
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:21,919
Speaker 1: it was.

588
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 5: That I would say, just off the top of my head,

589
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:26,879
Speaker 5: I would love to go for a surf with my

590
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 5: dad again. I think I've got good memories being a

591
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 5: young fella, like paddling out with the waves and like

592
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 5: hearing his laugh and just all the rest of it.

593
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 7: So I'll revisit that.

594
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 2: Amazing.

595
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 3: Who's the most fascinating person you've met?

596
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 1: I've met a lot of I feel like I've just

597
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 1: I've met a lot of fascinating people. But I think,

598
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 1: to me, those people, those fascinating people that I met

599
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 1: had in common was just people who have made mad

600
00:28:56,640 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 1: sacrifices for things that are bigger than themselves. Yeah, great,

601
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: you know, like activists and people who really who are

602
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 1: really protecting like culture, their culture or their sovereignty.

603
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 6: You know, things like that that are much bigger than themselves.

604
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

605
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's such a it's such a I don't know,

606
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 5: maybe it's the word fascinating.

607
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 7: It's putting me off.

608
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 5: But I've met so many yeah, likely, so many incredible people.

609
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 5: I mean when you even like likely, I said, like

610
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 5: I've had the privilege to speak with Uncle Archie wrote

611
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 5: a few times and you know, and hear his story

612
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 5: and watch him over the years, but there's something like

613
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 5: that's like almost like spiritually ordained when you talk to

614
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 5: him and when you hear him seeing like there's something

615
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 5: that when you meet him you just get it. You're like, wow,

616
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 5: the ancestors really put.

617
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 7: A mantle on your life. It's like you just can't

618
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 7: help it.

619
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 5: Picture like an old song man before colonization, Like there's

620
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 5: that spirit in there.

621
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 7: It's it's crazy.

622
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 5: But yeah, I've met so many incredible people. I mean,

623
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 5: even when Leia and I can like it was epic

624
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 5: because of her deep connection to her culture, and I

625
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 5: was like, wow, I finally like she's arrived. You know, yes,

626
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 5: this woman i'd always sort of wanted, you know, or

627
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 5: put out there. It was just someone that was so

628
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 5: entrenched in their culture and so connected to it, not

629
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 5: just like in love with it, but on that spiritual

630
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 5: connective level, like yeah, it blew me away.

631
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 4: So yeah, great, what's the bravest thing you've ever done?

632
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 6: This is deep.

633
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 7: The showers turning into five minutes.

634
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: I would say, for me myself, the bravest thing I've

635
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 1: ever done is take control of my own life and

636
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 1: made decisions for me, not based on what's best for

637
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 1: other people. Yea, the bravest thing for me is putting

638
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: myself first.

639
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 4: Yep. Wow, the stanca as a woman, I hear that,

640
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 4: and a mom I hear that.

641
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: Really loudly, and I don't regret it one get one

642
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 1: bit a better of everything because of it.

643
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 6: Wife, mother, friend.

644
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 5: I would just say for me, been many, many of things,

645
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 5: but I would just say leaving the bush it's probably

646
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 5: not the biggest thing I've done with like the biggest

647
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 5: chain reaction for my life, and it was big, I

648
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 5: think because it was just so easy. The life I

649
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 5: had had a great job, I studying, you know, playing sports,

650
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 5: still doing good things, good community, but I just had

651
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 5: this thing inside of me that just felt like there

652
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 5: was more out there that I wanted to explore. But

653
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 5: to actually step and actually go and purchase those tickets,

654
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 5: to actually pack that bag and decide to just sleep

655
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 5: on a little phae mattress for a minute in a

656
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 5: very empty room from what I'd just come from, was

657
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 5: pretty big. But I look back now and I wouldn't

658
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 5: be any of this if I didn't make that move,

659
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 5: I wouldn't have met Leah, I wouldn't have decided to

660
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 5: do music. I wouldn't have done anything like literally, I'd

661
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 5: be a completely different human being. Yeah. So it was

662
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 5: just that one decision that led to a million different

663
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 5: outcomes that it wouldn't have happened.

664
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,280

Speaker 2: mama glands.

716
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 4: My uterus is all right right now. As much as

717
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 4: I would if they had been actually in the studio

718
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 4: with us, that would have been really hard.

719
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:47,880
Speaker 2: Give me the baby start lactating. I can't even say it.

720
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 4: I done that.

721
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 6: Too old for that.

722
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:53,800
Speaker 4: Wow, I thought, Sam. I mean, Stan Grant is someone

723
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:57,880
Speaker 4: who I admire and speaks so beautifully about his culture.

724
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 4: Mitches right up there with him. That was so beautiful

725
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 4: to hear him speak about Australia and his culture. And

726
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 4: you know, same with Leah as well. What a spiritually grounded,

727
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 4: wonderful couple to listen to.

728
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 3: And I'm in anticipation of where they're going to go.

729
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 3: You know, it's like, Okay, I can just see Mitch

730
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 3: there there is you know, in his homemade studio in

731
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:29,359
Speaker 3: his garage, with all the lights set up behind him,

732
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 3: looked like a pro studio. And it's just like this guy,

733
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 3: he's just making it happen, you know, he's creating it,

734
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 3: he's taking risks, he's being brave. I mean that story

735
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:41,319
Speaker 3: about you know what he felt was the bravest thing

736
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 3: he's ever done. I mean, this is what it takes.

737
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 3: And the ripple effect with that is incredible. And the

738
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 3: two of them together marrying the two cultures, and how.

739
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:55,439
Speaker 4: Much they give back, you know, that's that's what I love.

740
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 4: They give so much back.

741
00:35:57,719 --> 00:35:57,919
Speaker 2: Yeah.

742
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:01,439
Speaker 3: I was just thinking it's better to listen than to talk,

743
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 3: you know. And if you're feeling crappy, give something. And

744
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 3: there they are and doing their thing.

745
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:08,359
Speaker 2: You're a good giver.

746
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 4: Thank you.

747
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:15,839
Speaker 2: So let's go and you can give me a cup

748
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 2: of tea at the end of.

749
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 3: Wow, where to go with that one?

750
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 2: I don't have to go anywhere. I'll make you a

751
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 2: cup of tea, my pleasure.

752
