00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 3: This morning? Well, I was staying in a hotel, but

20
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 3: I did get up and have a walk and it

21
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 3: was freezing. Can I just tell you it was freezing.

22
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 2: It is very cold in Sydney right now.

23
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 3: I think they're saying it's the coldest day on record

24
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 3: this year.

25
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 1: So well, well done. A Brisbane person getting up breeze

26
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: night walking in.

27
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 3: The so I went for walk. I saved some lemons,

28
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 3: so I had some lemon water, not the usual thing

29
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 3: I would do at home, but I had that before

30
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 3: I left, and I made sure that I grabbed a

31
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 3: few things from the buffet.

32
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 2: Oh, I like it, but that's it.

33
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 3: Then I'm straight here.

34
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: Do you have a set morning routine or is this

35
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: something that you just mold depending on where you are

36
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: what season.

37
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 3: It is absolutely and it's always been my dream to

38
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 3: have like a morning that extends to eleven and then

39
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 3: start work at eleven. I know, and I used to

40
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 3: when I used to spend a lot of time in

41
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 3: the US. That's how I used to live there, and

42
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 3: it used to be fantastic, you know. Do a nine

43
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 3: o'clock class instead of a six o'clock class my dream,

44
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 3: and it was so lovely, you know. But I haven't

45
00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 3: really achieved that yet, But yeah, I do. I definitely

46
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 3: have a morning routine because I generally a whole fitness

47
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 3: routine because I think those rituals and that consistent behavior

48
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,399
Speaker 3: really sets you up for success. So yeah, I do.

49
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 3: Do you want to know it.

50
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 2: Yes, what are some of those rituals?

51
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 3: Okay, So in the morning, I do sort of a

52
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 3: sort of a meditation. I think it's just a fancy

53
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 3: word for breathing meditation for me anyway, maybe I'm just

54
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 3: not seeing it for what it.

55
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 2: Truly can be.

56
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 3: But I just lie in bed and really like, I

57
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 3: feel like I get my best thoughts and ideas in

58
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 3: the morning. Like when I wake up, it's like my

59
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 3: filing system has actually worked and I get these pops

60
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,679
Speaker 3: of ideas. So I usually write things down and then

61
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 3: just sit and think about what I'm going to do

62
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 3: that day.

63
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: So while you're lying in bed at four thirty usually,

64
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,519
Speaker 1: well that's early, I know, but that's when I naturally

65
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: wake up.

66
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:47,239
Speaker 2: What time are you go to bed?

67
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 3: Nine o'clock nine thirty?

68
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,399
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, you're one of those people. Yeah at five am.

69
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 3: Club Not always like I get up at five o'clock

70
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 3: when i'm training with my trainer, But some of the

71
00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 3: days when I'm just going for walk or something, I

72
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 3: do five point thirty. But I genuinely wake up. So

73
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 3: that's why I have that time to stay in bed

74
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 3: and do some thinking and writing some things down.

75
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: Not always, but Has it been like this since you say,

76
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: started Laurna Jane, or has this evolved like your approach

77
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 1: to health and wellness over the years.

78
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 3: I've always been a morning person, and you have to

79
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 3: remember I started as a fitness instructor, so six o'clock

80
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 3: classes have always been my thing. So I've always enjoyed

81
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 3: exercising in the morning because nothing can get in the way,

82
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 3: you know. Like, I'm fairly motivated person when it comes

83
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 3: to health and fitness and working out. But if I

84
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 3: don't work out in the morning and I tell myself

85
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 3: I'm going to do a class, first of all, it

86
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 3: stresses me out because I then have to schedule everything

87
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 3: to make sure that I get out of work on

88
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 3: time and get to the class, or even go for

89
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 3: a run before it gets stark. All of those things,

90
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 3: it just doesn't happen. I taught myself out of it

91
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 3: because I love work, I love going for a walk

92
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 3: with my husband in space time with my family. So

93
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 3: it all gets in the way and I can so

94
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 3: easily manipulate myself.

95
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,119
Speaker 2: What do you do for fitness nowadays?

96
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 3: Fitness, okay, strength training really important and I actually love it.

97
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 3: I do wish I had started earlier. I really do.

98
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 3: Like I tell the girls at work all the time

99
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 3: who are in their twenties and thirties, start weight training.

100
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 3: So weight training with a trainer twice a week, and

101
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 3: then I train by myself another two times a week.

102
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 3: In between that it's yoga. I walk twice a day.

103
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 3: It's that's a bit of a meditation thing too. I

104
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 3: do with my husband, who is the CEO of Laurna Jane.

105
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 3: So in the morning we walk out dog Harry about

106
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 3: twenty minutes, not a fast walk at all, but we

107
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 3: talk about our day, which is really nice.

108
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 2: We talk business.

109
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,919
Speaker 1: Absolutely, it's like a business meeting every morning it is.

110
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 3: It's a walk meeting, and sometimes we have pretty heated discussions.

111
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 3: I'm sure some of the neighbors think those clarks and

112
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 3: are going to get.

113
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 2: To don sometimes.

114
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 3: But we talk about what we're doing, and I might

115
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 3: have some questions I want to ask him. I'll say,

116
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 3: are you free for this? Someone's coming in, I'd really

117
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 3: like you to have a chat to him, blah blah blah.

118
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 3: So we talk through that and then at night it's

119
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,359
Speaker 3: more a how is your day check in, and so

120
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 3: then we can really transition, not completely we're human, but

121
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 3: transition into that more relaxed be at home.

122
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 2: We're a couple rather than business partners. Yeah yeah, so interesting.

123
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, an active week though, What perhaps is the biggest

124
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: lesson in health and wellness that you've learned over the years.

125
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: What's some wisdom you can impart?

126
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 2: So many, so many, I think give us a few.

127
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 3: I think the strength training was a big thing, especially

128
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 3: as you age and for women, like, you're not going

129
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 3: to get big, Like, look, I'm not a big person

130
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 3: and I do it four times a week and I

131
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 3: really do heavy weights. You know. My trainer is a

132
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 3: great big, you know, bodybuilding champion, So you're not going

133
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 3: to get big, You're just going to get stronger. And

134
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 3: for me, I mentally feel more powerful because I'm strong.

135
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: It's so empowering you. I love lifting heavyweights and I

136
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: have actually haven't done it for two weeks and I

137
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,919
Speaker 1: feel I'm in my head, I'm thinking I have to

138
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: go on strength train, like I really need to feel

139
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 1: that power.

140
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 3: Makes you feel it does, yeah, it really makes you

141
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 3: feel powerful, so absolutely.

142
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 2: And I then.

143
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:16,679
Speaker 3: Really love yoga as well.

144
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 2: I sort of did.

145
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 3: I think it's probably about five or six years ago.

146
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 3: I went to Bali and did my instructor training just

147
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 3: so I could really understand what I wanted to achieve

148
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 3: out of yoga. So that's my be kind to myself.

149
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 1: And did that help doing the yoga training. Do you

150
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 1: feel like you, well, you get more out of yoga.

151
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's me I do. But I like to know

152
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 3: the ins and outs of things, you know, Like I

153
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 3: had so many questions and I just thought, I just

154
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 3: really want to immerse myself in it. And I think

155
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 3: the girls at work thought that I'd possibly teach a

156
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 3: yoga class every Thursday afternoon, which has never happened. But yeah,

157
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 3: I just wanted to know a little bit more and

158
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 3: it does help, I think, to understand what you're trying

159
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 3: to achieve and that push and pull, that flight and

160
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 3: fight that you have when you're pushing yourself to your limit,

161
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 3: to understand it and give into it. You know, if

162
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 3: I'm really stressed, I just can't do yoga like I

163
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 3: can when I'm not stressed, because my body's resisting. And

164
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 3: I guess that's what I need it the most.

165
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 2: Well, it's your mind, isn't that telling you?

166
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't, I can't do this now move nourish believe.

167
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's long been your company's ethos. It's

168
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: a it's a beautiful mantra. Do you still live by this?

169
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 3: Absolutely? And most people don't know this, but it was

170
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 3: actually my way of living before we even started, Lanna Jane.

171
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 3: It's always been my way of I guess, justifying and

172
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 3: not understanding why people. I get so fussed why people

173
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 3: don't find time for the health and wellbeing. I just

174
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 3: it does frustrate me. I know all the reasons, of course,

175
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 3: I know all the reasons, but I can't understand why

176
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 3: they don't put it on the top of their to

177
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 3: do list, you know. So for me, it was always

178
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 3: like wake up every day, move nourish belief, move your

179
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 3: body in some way. You can just be walking the dog.

180
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 3: You know. I'm not sure I won't do that much

181
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 3: today because I've got to fly back to Brisbane and

182
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 3: all those sorts of things. But I've had my walk

183
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 3: this morning, you know, move your body some way, eat

184
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 3: good food, just make some great choices. You know, it's

185
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 3: so easy. Like I looked at the choices my husband

186
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 3: made on this trip compared to me his. We're not

187
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 3: as good as that.

188
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 2: Live the Lona Jay mantras.

189
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 3: He does usual, but it was his birthday today.

190
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 2: That's okay, We'll let him up.

191
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 3: And then I think the most important one is believe.

192
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 3: I think positivity. So if you just walk into every

193
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 3: single day saying I'm going to move my body and

194
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 3: I'm going to eat good food and I'm going to

195
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 3: try to be positive about everything, just thinks a great way.

196
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 3: And if you do that every day, I feel like

197
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 3: and I've witnessed women who haven't been in a good

198
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 3: place with their health and well being actually wake up

199
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 3: a few months down and the track and go, hey,

200
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 3: I'm a different person. And it's just half an hour here,

201
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 3: you know, a few minutes there, chopping up some vegetables,

202
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 3: you know, the night before before you go to work.

203
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 2: It's yeah, it's a.

204
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 3: Way of life, and you just have to be consistent.

205
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 3: I think it's an easy way to think about it

206
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 3: and achievable for most people.

207
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, achievable is Keith Lorna, thank you for coming on

210
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,559
Speaker 1: time I'm just hustling children out of the door. Sometimes

Speaker 1: I get out for a walk. But yes, I'm definitely

212
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: a late sleeper. I wish i was early morning, but
