Speaker 1: It's Lucky Dip time. Thanks for joining us. It's Mail
Speaker 1: and Monty today and every day. Hello, it is us, Melamonte.
Speaker 1: This is your Lucky Dip episode. And yeah, thanks for
Speaker 1: listening in. If you're a new time listener, thank you
Speaker 1: if you're an oldie. So many people have been reaching
Speaker 1: out at the moment and saying like I'm from you know,
Speaker 1: back in the on the couch days, like being with
Speaker 1: us from day one, which is just so because that's
Speaker 1: like twelve years. So thank you.
Speaker 2: It's a long time. Yeah, and people you know, naturally
Speaker 2: will flip in and out of you know, you listen
Speaker 2: to a podcasting like I try something new. That's commitment.
Speaker 1: It's such commitment. So thank you. So mel this is
Speaker 1: gonna like this is something I used to do a
Speaker 1: lot and then and I just stopped and now I've
Speaker 1: started again. And I know you're gonna roll your eyes
Speaker 1: because often we follow on Instagram people who are right
Speaker 1: into this and we're like, it's nauseating.
Speaker 2: Oh no, I know, I don't. You aren't I yeah,
Speaker 2: I am right back in to manifesting. Look, I don't
Speaker 2: think that's a bad thing. I think even if that
Speaker 2: works on a place ebo level. Yes, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2: I look, I'm into horoscopes and shit, so yeah, true.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, But sometimes like the people who are riding
Speaker 1: it are a bit nauseating because it's like their life
Speaker 1: is so perfect. I manifested this and this and this,
Speaker 1: so I'm like, I'm trying not to be put off
Speaker 1: by that, and I'm trying to get back into it.
Speaker 1: It's something I used to do a lot, and my
Speaker 1: friends used to say, fuck, You're a master manifesto because
Speaker 1: it would be like I watched The Secret years and
Speaker 1: years ago when I was doing like my radio apprenticeship.
Speaker 1: In all I call it my apprenticeship, but I went
Speaker 1: there and I was I've got right into the Secret,
Speaker 1: and I would write it out, I would feel it.
Speaker 1: I would live as if certain things were going to happen,
Speaker 1: like I was going to get picked up by Nova
Speaker 1: and get a radio show. Certain things I was very
Speaker 1: specific on and they would happen. And I even used
Speaker 1: to do it with little things like a game like
Speaker 1: I'm going to get a car park out the front,
Speaker 1: and then it would fucking happen, like it became comical.
Speaker 2: I think that the theory of it makes sense in
Speaker 2: that I guess, you know, like that old thing what
Speaker 2: you think about, you bring about and I do believe
Speaker 2: that you put energy out there too, right so, and
Speaker 2: you know when they talk about people's frequencies and stuff,
Speaker 2: which is why sometimes you might feel connected to somebody
Speaker 2: that you might have met once or twice or totally.
Speaker 2: You're like, you're so different, but how do you feel that?
Speaker 2: But the only thing that pisces me off is these
Speaker 2: people that get on and they're talking about how they
Speaker 2: manage in fested this and that, but they also married
Speaker 2: very well, and like that's not manifesting to me.
Speaker 1: Yes, I know.
Speaker 2: I mean, and when you read a few self help
Speaker 2: books and then think that you're able to start, you know.
Speaker 1: Coaching people on it and stuff like that, yeah, I know,
Speaker 1: I know, And I know that a lot of people
Speaker 1: are into it and a lot of people also find
Speaker 1: it horseshit. But the thing with manifesting is you have
Speaker 1: to actively work towards it too. So when I say,
Speaker 1: you know, I manifested working at Nova and getting a
Speaker 1: show at Nova, I also worked my ass off to
Speaker 1: get there. So but then again, I'm like, very few
Speaker 1: women get have radio gigs, so it was like, yes,
Speaker 1: the odds were extremely against me, but I worked hard
Speaker 1: to it. But I constantly visualized myself, but I did
Speaker 1: the work for it as well. And there were other
Speaker 1: things like that, things like the car park though you
Speaker 1: couldn't explain that, like I would picture myself actively getting
Speaker 1: a car park and then get at it.
Speaker 2: I know, I know, please imagine us like just getting
Speaker 2: I don't know, really rich.
Speaker 1: Well, here's the thing now, because I've got back into it,
Speaker 1: I've done a vision board and I'm journaling daily. I'm
Speaker 1: a new person.
Speaker 2: I'm into the New Monty. I'm into her too, the
Speaker 2: New Monty.
Speaker 1: The New Monty TNM can you call me that? From now?
Speaker 1: But I just realize I've been in such a slump
Speaker 1: for a couple of years, and I've got this buzz
Speaker 1: in my belly. And I know it's because my health's
Speaker 1: turned a little corner where a while ago I had
Speaker 1: that nerve ablation and then I occasionally going to hospital
Speaker 1: and it has kept my migraines at bay. Yes, and
Speaker 1: so now I've got a buzz in my body to create.
Speaker 1: It's like I have this feeling in my tummy and
Speaker 1: I'm like I'm going to take advantage of this. And
Speaker 1: the other day I got Sam at his work to
Speaker 1: print out on Miracle a printer that actually works pictures,
Speaker 1: and I got a piece of cardboard and I bought
Speaker 1: blue tag and I've stuck them up and I've put
Speaker 1: it in my bathroom. This morning, i walked into the
Speaker 1: bathroom and realized it had fallen off the wall. So
Speaker 1: that wasn't that good. But I've moved it to another wall.
Speaker 1: And I'm trying to daily manifest these things into my life.
Speaker 1: So I'll talk you through them.
Speaker 2: Tell me, tell me, here's the problem.
Speaker 1: They're quite superstitial, superficial and materialistic.
Speaker 2: Well i'd look, you know, I don't think that's a
Speaker 2: bad thing.
Speaker 1: Here's what I'm doing with it. I'm using it as
Speaker 1: a game because I'm like, everything actually at the at
Speaker 1: the moment is okay. Like the boys are in an
Speaker 1: okay place, my health is okay. Yep, everything is okay.
Speaker 1: And I'm trying to really acknowledge that because I find
Speaker 1: a lot of the time, if something's not good, I
Speaker 1: will write off the whole day and go that was horseshit.
Speaker 1: Where really, if I broke it down, it would just
Speaker 1: be an hour or a couple of hours of that
Speaker 1: day that weren't good, but I glass half empty everything
Speaker 1: that I'm like, that's fucked. So then day after day
Speaker 1: after day, yes, becomes a shit day where really it's
Speaker 1: only snippets of the day. Yes. So I'm trying to
Speaker 1: acknowledge what's going well when I'm journaling, and then I
Speaker 1: am going, Okay, here's my list, and I'm literally have
Speaker 1: a list of things that I want and I'm trying
Speaker 1: to attract in my life.
Speaker 2: I don't even know who the fuck I'm talking to.
Speaker 2: I'm fucking Oprah Winfrey. Have you had a lobotomy since
Speaker 2: we were I don't know.
Speaker 1: Today I'm like, who am I now?
Speaker 2: This is good? This is very good.
Speaker 1: I'm conscious that this is going to go up and
Speaker 1: down in terms of my motivation, and even today when
Speaker 1: I was journaling, I'm like, today is great, and I
Speaker 1: have to acknowledge that I can have great days, but
Speaker 1: life is up and down, and so I need to
Speaker 1: remember this when there's a bad day that I feel
Speaker 1: really good again.
Speaker 2: This is the gift, right. I don't want to sound
Speaker 2: shit when I say this, because I know there are
Speaker 2: a lot of people that are going through a lot
Speaker 2: of really fucked up stuff. But I think this is
Speaker 2: the gift in when you do go through really hard
Speaker 2: times that when things do start to come good, you
Speaker 2: appreciate it. So if you've been unwell, yeah, you don't
Speaker 2: appreciate feeling well in the same way. It's like you
Speaker 2: appreciate it so much more much because you know what
Speaker 2: it's like to be sick and you think, fuck, I
Speaker 2: just want to feel normal again or whatever. Yes, so
Speaker 2: you know, no rain no rainbow, they say, so true,
Speaker 2: So tell me, tell me.
Speaker 1: I want to do this list and then I want
Speaker 1: you to do some of yours. So have a think
Speaker 1: while I'm listing out, mind okay, because I want you
Speaker 1: to start manifesting as well. I wish it's a different word. Yeah, anyway.
Speaker 1: One of the things I have is on the vision
Speaker 1: board to start with the non materialistic and superficial is
Speaker 1: a picture of friends jumping on a beach, and to me,
Speaker 1: that represents if I'm jumping, my health is good because
Speaker 1: if you've got a headache, there's no fucking jumping going
Speaker 1: on and we're on a beach. And one of my
Speaker 1: best memories and days in my life was when my
Speaker 1: beautiful friends Claire and Jacko got married in Bali. Yes,
Speaker 1: and I had, for some reason, total freedom, like we
Speaker 1: were in a gap where my mum's health was good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and Bax was only had one kid and it was
Speaker 1: I felt free and I felt really happy and it's
Speaker 1: one of the best days of my life. So when
Speaker 1: I see that picture, I get that feeling.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's good. Yeap.
Speaker 1: Then another thing is the new Lexus. Have you seen
Speaker 1: the new lexuses? I told you we're going through really
Speaker 1: materialistic look fucking sick. No, a boxy land Rover. They're awesome.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't even know Alexis if I I'm not a
Speaker 2: car person.
Speaker 1: Well I'm not either, but I saw one the other day.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I want one of those. That's so I'll
Speaker 1: printed out a picture of Alexus.
Speaker 2: No judgment. This is almost a new segment. Yes, when
Speaker 2: do you want.
Speaker 1: Don't never do it again, like all of the other
Speaker 1: segments you come up with. But I've got a picture
Speaker 1: of our podcast and also icronic that I do with
Speaker 1: brook or around chronic health, and I've got a number
Speaker 1: one stuck in the middle of it.
Speaker 2: I like that. I'm into that.
Speaker 1: And then I've got a logo of Chemist Warehouse there
Speaker 1: because I'm trying to secret a beautiful partnership with a
Speaker 1: great brand that is in line with our podcasts.
Speaker 2: My favorite store of all time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's your favorite store. And I'm like, whether it's
Speaker 1: a Chemist Warehouse or something like that, I want us
Speaker 1: to get a beautiful partnership with a company so then
Speaker 1: we can get some more money in from the podcast
Speaker 1: and we can do this as our actual proper that's
Speaker 1: your side hustle. Like, yep, as much as this is
Speaker 1: our favorite thing we do, it is a side project
Speaker 1: because it doesn't bring in the big bucks for us. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so there's that. Then I've also got a house on
Speaker 1: there that I want, and I've also got like a
Speaker 1: picture of a kitchen and a bathroom done designed by YSG.
Speaker 1: Do you know that designer? No, Like they're the ones
Speaker 1: who did Zoe and Hamish's house.
Speaker 2: Not.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the style is fucking phenomenal.
Speaker 2: This is the thing about like like Zoe and Hamish's house, right,
Speaker 2: Like I watched that and I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 2: this is incredible. Yes, but there is a level of
Speaker 2: wealth you need to have to be able to have
Speaker 2: a house like that and know that in five years.
Speaker 1: You need to redo it.
Speaker 2: It's going to have dated that.
Speaker 1: I know what you mean. I would have gripped back
Speaker 1: YSG version. I just love the style and I don't
Speaker 1: have that in me that I would love to be
Speaker 1: able to hire a designer to do a beautiful bob
Speaker 1: for me.
Speaker 2: Well you know what if we become the next Joe
Speaker 2: Rogan's Yes, I mean you you can update in five
Speaker 2: years totally.
Speaker 1: And that's the other thing is I'm secreting a certain
Speaker 1: amount of money going into my bank account each month
Speaker 1: because at the moment it's zero. Yes, So I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm going to add some more zeros and a number
Speaker 1: at the front.
Speaker 2: How does it work? Do you see it? Is it
Speaker 2: like you see the statement? Like you see the screen
Speaker 2: with the money on it? You know what it is?
Speaker 1: For me? I try and get a feeling. I try
Speaker 1: and think about what I want, and then I try
Speaker 1: and arouse a feeling of excitement and cringe worthy alignment
Speaker 1: with it. Right, So then I see it and I
Speaker 1: get the feeling of oh great, this has come in.
Speaker 1: And also I'm picturing financial freedom with it, but also
Speaker 1: being able to give a lot away. Yeah, because I
Speaker 1: know how good that makes you feel when you can
Speaker 1: be really generous with your money. And I'm picturing being
Speaker 1: able to take my girlfriends away on weekends together and
Speaker 1: being able to say to our family, Hey, we're going
Speaker 1: to Fiji and we're shouting all.
Speaker 2: Of you okay, money bags.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm money bags in it.
Speaker 2: It's so it's so good. The hard part in that
Speaker 2: is I feel like I swooping in with the negativity,
Speaker 2: but I'm not because I love it. But I know
Speaker 2: myself like the thought of oh, yeah, I can think it,
Speaker 2: but there's always the other voice going, how what No,
Speaker 2: Like that's not going to happen, like be really stick,
Speaker 2: like something pulling me going be really stick.
Speaker 1: But that's also us with blocks because I sometimes look
Speaker 1: at other people and go, but why do they have it?
Speaker 1: And why if they've got it, can't we have that
Speaker 1: as well?
Speaker 2: True?
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? People have and do things
Speaker 1: all the time, and it's like they're not any different
Speaker 1: than us. They might have different skills and have done
Speaker 1: different stuff, but it's like they're just a fucking human
Speaker 1: who has no idea what they're doing either, So why
Speaker 1: can't we do it?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I love this same Okay, so what's going on your
Speaker 1: shopping list from the universe.
Speaker 2: I think with money, right, it's such a it seems
Speaker 2: like a really small thing. I would just I would
Speaker 2: be happy if my mortgage was paid off. I don't
Speaker 2: even feel like I need a shit ton of money. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I just if what I made was mine, if it
Speaker 2: didn't have to go out to you know, like bulls
Speaker 2: and stuff. Jeez, I would say that is sort of
Speaker 2: wealthy to me.
Speaker 1: I'm like, mate, there is no one who's more uge free, Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: there's no one, do you know what I mean? So
Speaker 1: it's like to have that and then have the money
Speaker 1: you make be your money is yes, fucking that's financial freedom.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree. I think, you know, a lot of
Speaker 2: the things I think about are internal stuff about myself
Speaker 2: that I wish I could change. Like I wish I
Speaker 2: could maybe let myself be more of who I used
Speaker 2: to be, because I'm like, I used to be fun. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: not fun anymore.
Speaker 1: I think that too. I also think now it's the
Speaker 1: stage where we're at is there's not a lot of
Speaker 1: room for fun. Although I see other people doing more
Speaker 1: and getting together with friends and doing this, and I'm
Speaker 1: like they're having fun. I'll give you an example. Right.
Speaker 2: It's like, sometimes I'm like, I can be quite chaotic.
Speaker 2: I'm going to say this and sound like I'm bipolar,
Speaker 2: but I'm not. But like I can be really happy
Speaker 2: one second, and then it just takes one little thing
Speaker 2: and I'm down again. Yeah. Right. But sometimes it's like
Speaker 2: I have this impulse and I have done it before,
Speaker 2: and this is why I resist doing it. I might
Speaker 2: start dancing in the kitchen and putting the music up
Speaker 2: really loud and just fucking around. The problem is that,
Speaker 2: for example, then my son takes it a step too
Speaker 2: far and doesn't know when to stop and stop now, okay,
Speaker 2: it's it's finish now, and it keeps going and then
Speaker 2: that becomes a fine So I'm the problem.
Speaker 1: It's like when your kids do a joke or you
Speaker 1: let them get away with being a bit cheeky to you,
Speaker 1: and then they take it too far and you're like, no,
Speaker 1: we connected for a second, and then you took it
Speaker 1: too fucking far.
Speaker 2: I know, you laugh at one joke, and then it
Speaker 2: becomes they can trying to reach that.
Speaker 1: I know it, I know it well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So more internal things I think for me, it's
Speaker 2: more like, you know, wanting to give myself more freedom,
Speaker 2: let go of guilty, you know, like just to be
Speaker 2: in a better mindset. I'd love, you know, and all
Speaker 2: the all the normal stuff other people want. I want
Speaker 2: to be able to go to the shop and buy
Speaker 2: shit without thinking, which I do, but I shouldn't.
Speaker 1: Yes, I know what you mean. Also, a lot of
Speaker 1: that stuff could if you went to a psychologist, you
Speaker 1: could work through and and get there.
Speaker 2: Oh no, I don't know. I've been to them before.
Speaker 2: Not that i'm off.
Speaker 1: Them, the therapist.
Speaker 2: I've done that too.
Speaker 1: You.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just I'm.
Speaker 1: Sick of telling your story.
Speaker 2: I'm sick of it. I'm talking. Yeah, I'm like, I
Speaker 2: think I am the way I am. I've got to
Speaker 2: do the work. Yeah, you know what I mean. And
Speaker 2: I've got a that sounded fair. I should read The
Speaker 2: Secret again. I watched that. I watched it when it
Speaker 2: came out, and I remember being like, oh my god,
Speaker 2: this is amazing.
Speaker 1: And then a couple of the people on it were
Speaker 1: like exposed for being frauds.
Speaker 2: Because it's sort of like playing on people's hopes and
Speaker 2: dreams and then when it doesn't happen, how much harder
Speaker 2: it is when someone's built you up to go. You
Speaker 2: can have anything you want. And actually also it's like
Speaker 2: the universe provides for you. I'm like, well, my fucking
Speaker 2: mom died of cancer in front of you. I've seen
Speaker 2: my kids go through some hectic shit. I've been in
Speaker 2: bed nearly for a year at one point.
Speaker 1: Like, fuck you. I know it's so funny anyway, So
Speaker 1: we're getting there with our law of attraction. But thanks
Speaker 1: for indulging me. Maybe because I said it out loud,
Speaker 1: it's going to make it more real too, Like next
Speaker 1: week I could be driving my lesus.
Speaker 2: I really like this. I think this is. I think
Speaker 2: this is really no matter what it is, Yes, it's good.
Speaker 2: Your positivity is rubbing off on me.
Speaker 1: So well, even if it lasts two days, at least
Speaker 1: we got two years. Who cares? All right, thanks for listening.
