<v Speaker 3>questions you ask.

<v Speaker 2>Well, the first one.

0:00:54.120 --> 0:00:56.319
<v Speaker 1>Now it is still morning when we're recording this, So

0:00:56.520 --> 0:00:58.280
<v Speaker 1>what were your healthy habits this morning?

0:00:58.720 --> 0:01:01.760
<v Speaker 3>This morning? Well, I was staying in a hotel, but

0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:03.400
<v Speaker 3>I did get up and have a walk and it

0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:05.800
<v Speaker 3>was freezing. Can I just tell you it was freezing.

0:01:05.959 --> 0:01:07.240
<v Speaker 2>It is very cold in Sydney right now.

0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:09.360
<v Speaker 3>I think they're saying it's the coldest day on record

0:01:09.400 --> 0:01:09.960
<v Speaker 3>this year.

0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:13.120
<v Speaker 1>So well, well done. A Brisbane person getting up breeze

0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:14.000
<v Speaker 1>night walking in.

0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:18.280
<v Speaker 3>The so I went for walk. I saved some lemons,

0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:20.400
<v Speaker 3>so I had some lemon water, not the usual thing

0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:22.160
<v Speaker 3>I would do at home, but I had that before

0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:25.400
<v Speaker 3>I left, and I made sure that I grabbed a

0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:26.480
<v Speaker 3>few things from the buffet.

0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:28.280
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I like it, but that's it.

0:01:28.280 --> 0:01:29.040
<v Speaker 3>Then I'm straight here.

0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:31.600
<v Speaker 1>Do you have a set morning routine or is this

0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:35.080
<v Speaker 1>something that you just mold depending on where you are

0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:35.720
<v Speaker 1>what season.

0:01:35.760 --> 0:01:39.679
<v Speaker 3>It is absolutely and it's always been my dream to

0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:43.440
<v Speaker 3>have like a morning that extends to eleven and then

0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:45.959
<v Speaker 3>start work at eleven. I know, and I used to

0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:47.520
<v Speaker 3>when I used to spend a lot of time in

0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:50.360
<v Speaker 3>the US. That's how I used to live there, and

0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:52.240
<v Speaker 3>it used to be fantastic, you know. Do a nine

0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:54.840
<v Speaker 3>o'clock class instead of a six o'clock class my dream,

0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:57.520
<v Speaker 3>and it was so lovely, you know. But I haven't

0:01:57.520 --> 0:01:59.760
<v Speaker 3>really achieved that yet, But yeah, I do. I definitely

0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:02.960
<v Speaker 3>have a morning routine because I generally a whole fitness

0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:06.800
<v Speaker 3>routine because I think those rituals and that consistent behavior

0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:09.399
<v Speaker 3>really sets you up for success. So yeah, I do.

0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:10.080
<v Speaker 3>Do you want to know it.

0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:11.800
<v Speaker 2>Yes, what are some of those rituals?

0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:14.680
<v Speaker 3>Okay, So in the morning, I do sort of a

0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:18.320
<v Speaker 3>sort of a meditation. I think it's just a fancy

0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:21.200
<v Speaker 3>word for breathing meditation for me anyway, maybe I'm just

0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:22.280
<v Speaker 3>not seeing it for what it.

0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:23.040
<v Speaker 2>Truly can be.

0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:26.680
<v Speaker 3>But I just lie in bed and really like, I

0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:29.120
<v Speaker 3>feel like I get my best thoughts and ideas in

0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:31.400
<v Speaker 3>the morning. Like when I wake up, it's like my

0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:34.120
<v Speaker 3>filing system has actually worked and I get these pops

0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:36.679
<v Speaker 3>of ideas. So I usually write things down and then

0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:39.080
<v Speaker 3>just sit and think about what I'm going to do

0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:39.480
<v Speaker 3>that day.

0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:42.600
<v Speaker 1>So while you're lying in bed at four thirty usually,

0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:45.519
<v Speaker 1>well that's early, I know, but that's when I naturally

0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:46.040
<v Speaker 1>wake up.

0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:47.239
<v Speaker 2>What time are you go to bed?

0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:49.720
<v Speaker 3>Nine o'clock nine thirty?

0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:53.399
<v Speaker 2>Okay, yeah, you're one of those people. Yeah at five am.

0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:55.760
<v Speaker 3>Club Not always like I get up at five o'clock

0:02:55.800 --> 0:02:57.880
<v Speaker 3>when i'm training with my trainer, But some of the

0:02:57.960 --> 0:02:59.520
<v Speaker 3>days when I'm just going for walk or something, I

0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:03.120
<v Speaker 3>do five point thirty. But I genuinely wake up. So

0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:05.680
<v Speaker 3>that's why I have that time to stay in bed

0:03:05.760 --> 0:03:07.919
<v Speaker 3>and do some thinking and writing some things down.

0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:12.440
<v Speaker 1>Not always, but Has it been like this since you say,

0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:15.880
<v Speaker 1>started Laurna Jane, or has this evolved like your approach

0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:17.680
<v Speaker 1>to health and wellness over the years.

0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:22.080
<v Speaker 3>I've always been a morning person, and you have to

0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:25.160
<v Speaker 3>remember I started as a fitness instructor, so six o'clock

0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:29.480
<v Speaker 3>classes have always been my thing. So I've always enjoyed

0:03:29.639 --> 0:03:32.400
<v Speaker 3>exercising in the morning because nothing can get in the way,

0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:36.240
<v Speaker 3>you know. Like, I'm fairly motivated person when it comes

0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:39.920
<v Speaker 3>to health and fitness and working out. But if I

0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:42.720
<v Speaker 3>don't work out in the morning and I tell myself

0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:44.400
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to do a class, first of all, it

0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:47.360
<v Speaker 3>stresses me out because I then have to schedule everything

0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:49.600
<v Speaker 3>to make sure that I get out of work on

0:03:49.640 --> 0:03:51.440
<v Speaker 3>time and get to the class, or even go for

0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:53.520
<v Speaker 3>a run before it gets stark. All of those things,

0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:56.040
<v Speaker 3>it just doesn't happen. I taught myself out of it

0:03:56.080 --> 0:03:59.120
<v Speaker 3>because I love work, I love going for a walk

0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:01.680
<v Speaker 3>with my husband in space time with my family. So

0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:03.680
<v Speaker 3>it all gets in the way and I can so

0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:05.600
<v Speaker 3>easily manipulate myself.

0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:08.119
<v Speaker 2>What do you do for fitness nowadays?

0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:13.000
<v Speaker 3>Fitness, okay, strength training really important and I actually love it.

0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:16.560
<v Speaker 3>I do wish I had started earlier. I really do.

0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:18.560
<v Speaker 3>Like I tell the girls at work all the time

0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:20.920
<v Speaker 3>who are in their twenties and thirties, start weight training.

0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:24.599
<v Speaker 3>So weight training with a trainer twice a week, and

0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:27.600
<v Speaker 3>then I train by myself another two times a week.

0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:30.880
<v Speaker 3>In between that it's yoga. I walk twice a day.

0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:33.719
<v Speaker 3>It's that's a bit of a meditation thing too. I

0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:36.800
<v Speaker 3>do with my husband, who is the CEO of Laurna Jane.

0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:40.480
<v Speaker 3>So in the morning we walk out dog Harry about

0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:43.719
<v Speaker 3>twenty minutes, not a fast walk at all, but we

0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:45.760
<v Speaker 3>talk about our day, which is really nice.

0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:46.480
<v Speaker 2>We talk business.

0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:49.919
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, it's like a business meeting every morning it is.

0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:54.360
<v Speaker 3>It's a walk meeting, and sometimes we have pretty heated discussions.

0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:56.040
<v Speaker 3>I'm sure some of the neighbors think those clarks and

0:04:56.120 --> 0:04:56.760
<v Speaker 3>are going to get.

0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:57.280
<v Speaker 2>To don sometimes.

0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:00.240
<v Speaker 3>But we talk about what we're doing, and I might

0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:02.080
<v Speaker 3>have some questions I want to ask him. I'll say,

0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:04.479
<v Speaker 3>are you free for this? Someone's coming in, I'd really

0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:06.080
<v Speaker 3>like you to have a chat to him, blah blah blah.

0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:08.159
<v Speaker 3>So we talk through that and then at night it's

0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:11.359
<v Speaker 3>more a how is your day check in, and so

0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:14.720
<v Speaker 3>then we can really transition, not completely we're human, but

0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:18.080
<v Speaker 3>transition into that more relaxed be at home.

0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:22.760
<v Speaker 2>We're a couple rather than business partners. Yeah yeah, so interesting.

0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:26.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, an active week though, What perhaps is the biggest

0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:30.080
<v Speaker 1>lesson in health and wellness that you've learned over the years.

0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:32.200
<v Speaker 1>What's some wisdom you can impart?

0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:35.200
<v Speaker 2>So many, so many, I think give us a few.

0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:38.720
<v Speaker 3>I think the strength training was a big thing, especially

0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:41.640
<v Speaker 3>as you age and for women, like, you're not going

0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:44.320
<v Speaker 3>to get big, Like, look, I'm not a big person

0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:46.040
<v Speaker 3>and I do it four times a week and I

0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:49.200
<v Speaker 3>really do heavy weights. You know. My trainer is a

0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:52.920
<v Speaker 3>great big, you know, bodybuilding champion, So you're not going

0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:54.520
<v Speaker 3>to get big, You're just going to get stronger. And

0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:58.080
<v Speaker 3>for me, I mentally feel more powerful because I'm strong.

0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:01.560
<v Speaker 1>It's so empowering you. I love lifting heavyweights and I

0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:03.080
<v Speaker 1>have actually haven't done it for two weeks and I

0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:05.919
<v Speaker 1>feel I'm in my head, I'm thinking I have to

0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:07.960
<v Speaker 1>go on strength train, like I really need to feel

0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:08.839
<v Speaker 1>that power.

0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:11.200
<v Speaker 3>Makes you feel it does, yeah, it really makes you

0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:12.920
<v Speaker 3>feel powerful, so absolutely.

0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:14.039
<v Speaker 2>And I then.

0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:16.679
<v Speaker 3>Really love yoga as well.

0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:17.800
<v Speaker 2>I sort of did.

0:06:17.880 --> 0:06:19.720
<v Speaker 3>I think it's probably about five or six years ago.

0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:21.919
<v Speaker 3>I went to Bali and did my instructor training just

0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:25.040
<v Speaker 3>so I could really understand what I wanted to achieve

0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:28.600
<v Speaker 3>out of yoga. So that's my be kind to myself.

0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:30.800
<v Speaker 1>And did that help doing the yoga training. Do you

0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:33.479
<v Speaker 1>feel like you, well, you get more out of yoga.

0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:37.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's me I do. But I like to know

0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:39.480
<v Speaker 3>the ins and outs of things, you know, Like I

0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:43.200
<v Speaker 3>had so many questions and I just thought, I just

0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:45.839
<v Speaker 3>really want to immerse myself in it. And I think

0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:47.840
<v Speaker 3>the girls at work thought that I'd possibly teach a

0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:52.880
<v Speaker 3>yoga class every Thursday afternoon, which has never happened. But yeah,

0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:54.039
<v Speaker 3>I just wanted to know a little bit more and

0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:56.960
<v Speaker 3>it does help, I think, to understand what you're trying

0:06:57.000 --> 0:07:00.880
<v Speaker 3>to achieve and that push and pull, that flight and

0:07:00.880 --> 0:07:03.680
<v Speaker 3>fight that you have when you're pushing yourself to your limit,

0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:06.599
<v Speaker 3>to understand it and give into it. You know, if

0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:10.440
<v Speaker 3>I'm really stressed, I just can't do yoga like I

0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:13.360
<v Speaker 3>can when I'm not stressed, because my body's resisting. And

0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:14.800
<v Speaker 3>I guess that's what I need it the most.

0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:16.440
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's your mind, isn't that telling you?

0:07:16.520 --> 0:07:20.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I can't, I can't do this now move nourish believe.

0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:24.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's it's long been your company's ethos. It's

0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:27.320
<v Speaker 1>a it's a beautiful mantra. Do you still live by this?

0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:30.440
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely? And most people don't know this, but it was

0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:35.240
<v Speaker 3>actually my way of living before we even started, Lanna Jane.

0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:38.960
<v Speaker 3>It's always been my way of I guess, justifying and

0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:42.320
<v Speaker 3>not understanding why people. I get so fussed why people

0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:44.800
<v Speaker 3>don't find time for the health and wellbeing. I just

0:07:44.880 --> 0:07:47.360
<v Speaker 3>it does frustrate me. I know all the reasons, of course,

0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:50.080
<v Speaker 3>I know all the reasons, but I can't understand why

0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:52.760
<v Speaker 3>they don't put it on the top of their to

0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:55.200
<v Speaker 3>do list, you know. So for me, it was always

0:07:55.240 --> 0:07:58.480
<v Speaker 3>like wake up every day, move nourish belief, move your

0:07:58.480 --> 0:08:01.480
<v Speaker 3>body in some way. You can just be walking the dog.

0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:03.200
<v Speaker 3>You know. I'm not sure I won't do that much

0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:05.000
<v Speaker 3>today because I've got to fly back to Brisbane and

0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:07.160
<v Speaker 3>all those sorts of things. But I've had my walk

0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:10.800
<v Speaker 3>this morning, you know, move your body some way, eat

0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:13.840
<v Speaker 3>good food, just make some great choices. You know, it's

0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:16.040
<v Speaker 3>so easy. Like I looked at the choices my husband

0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:18.680
<v Speaker 3>made on this trip compared to me his. We're not

0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:20.560
<v Speaker 3>as good as that.

0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:22.280
<v Speaker 2>Live the Lona Jay mantras.

0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:24.400
<v Speaker 3>He does usual, but it was his birthday today.

0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:25.600
<v Speaker 2>That's okay, We'll let him up.

0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:29.040
<v Speaker 3>And then I think the most important one is believe.

0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:32.400
<v Speaker 3>I think positivity. So if you just walk into every

0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:34.000
<v Speaker 3>single day saying I'm going to move my body and

0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:35.480
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to eat good food and I'm going to

0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:39.240
<v Speaker 3>try to be positive about everything, just thinks a great way.

0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:42.760
<v Speaker 3>And if you do that every day, I feel like

0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:45.480
<v Speaker 3>and I've witnessed women who haven't been in a good

0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:47.640
<v Speaker 3>place with their health and well being actually wake up

0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:50.120
<v Speaker 3>a few months down and the track and go, hey,

0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:53.520
<v Speaker 3>I'm a different person. And it's just half an hour here,

0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:56.840
<v Speaker 3>you know, a few minutes there, chopping up some vegetables,

0:08:57.200 --> 0:08:59.160
<v Speaker 3>you know, the night before before you go to work.

0:08:59.600 --> 0:09:01.040
<v Speaker 2>It's yeah, it's a.

0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:03.280
<v Speaker 3>Way of life, and you just have to be consistent.

0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:05.760
<v Speaker 3>I think it's an easy way to think about it

0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:07.360
<v Speaker 3>and achievable for most people.

0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:09.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, achievable is Keith Lorna, thank you for coming on

0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:26.920
<v Speaker 1>I get out for a walk. But yes, I'm definitely

0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:29.800
