I've been getting so many lovely messages about 18 00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 1: how these tangential Badter sessions have been helping you guys 19 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 1: keep smiling during tough times. But honestly, it's more therapy 20 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 1: for me that I just happen to have recorded, so 21 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 1: the fact that anyone listens in and that you're enjoying 22 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 1: it too is an absolute bonus. You may remember an 23 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 1: from the very first ever episode of Cca, where she 24 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,200 Speaker 1: interviews me to kick off the show her own interview 25 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 1: in episode thirty three, or all over my socials. I've 26 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,679 Speaker 1: had three messages just this week asking how my sister is, 27 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: which she is not, but which you'd absolutely be forgiven for, 28 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,759 Speaker 1: assuming she's my mini me best friend and has squeezed 29 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 1: more into life at twenty four than many do in 30 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 1: a lifetime, having ridden eight hundred kilometers from Adelaide to 31 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:45,039 Speaker 1: Melbourne for charity for her twenty first birthday, started boxing 32 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 1: for fun, only to win her first proper fight by 33 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 1: TKO played in the vfl W for North Melbourne, started 34 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 1: her own creative agency, founded and sold her very own 35 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: food truck business, and now just happens casually to be 36 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: a full time physio at Royal Melbourne Hospital. We swing 37 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 1: from hysterically brain list to deeply philosophical in our chats, 38 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 1: which is one of my favorite things about our friendship 39 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 1: and which definitely comes out in this episode Today apologies 40 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 1: in advance for the part that simply don't make sense 41 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,079 Speaker 1: to anyone else but that we clearly find hilarious. Again, 42 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:19,919 Speaker 1: for this line, I had no notes at all, which 43 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 1: I'm really loving so much.

We had just found out Lockdown was 46 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 1: extended in Victoria, so we're probably even more random than usual. 47 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: But this was an amazing circuit breaker for my energy, 48 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 1: and I hope it is for some of you too, 49 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 1: and is such a ball of energy and always lifts 50 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,359 Speaker 1: my spirits, particularly at times like this when we need 51 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 1: it most.

I usually use people's first names, but I 54 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 1: can't call you, and it's so weird when whenever I 55 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 1: say ange like introducing you to someone else, I'm like, 56 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: oh no. 57 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 2: It's very formal. I thought about the same thing. I 58 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 2: was like, what do I call her on the podcast? 59 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 2: Because I obviously bim, but Sarah sounds really formal, like 60 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 2: I don't actually know you if I got you, Sarah 61 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 2: sounds like acquaintances. 62 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:20,239 Speaker 1: And bim sounds like I'm saying bimp or something sounds 63 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: like it has to be bim Berlina, AND's term of 64 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,799 Speaker 1: affection in varying degrees of If you've listened to her episode, 65 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,359 Speaker 1: you already know this, but in varying degrees of affection 66 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: goes from Bimbo to Bimbi. No, Bimbo to bimb to 67 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 1: Bimbi to Bimberlina. Yeah, and I think it's to Bimbi 68 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,119 Speaker 1: la la. That's a recent one. 69 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 2: And it's really because obviously Bimbo has like negative connotations 70 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 2: just generally, but I use it as a too endearment 71 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 2: for all my friends and I have like a really 72 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 2: really long time, and it's really hard with new friends 73 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 2: because it's so part of my lexicon that I'm like 74 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 2: Bimbo and like, new friends are this year been like sorry, 75 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 2: oh no, and it's a good thing.

So it's a lot of explaining and 78 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 2: a lot of like this is the hierarchy and its 79 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 2: just like saying it back sounds so stupid, but yes, 80 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,799 Speaker 2: it is true. Given and I called many of my friends. 81 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:22,919 Speaker 1: I love it.

And speaking of since your episode, 85 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: which was not even last year, I think it was 86 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:44,159 Speaker 1: two thousand and nineteen. I don't even know time. 87 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 2: At the moment, I was twelve, so and now thirteen. 88 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 1: Now thirteen and a half and a half, don't forget 89 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: how and was also on the very first ever episode 90 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 1: of CZA and hosted my interview, which was just so 91 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 1: special that you've been here since the very beginning when 92 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 1: I was like, Bam, bim I've got this idea, and 93 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: then you did your episode I think a year later, 94 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: and now a year and a half later we're back. 95 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: So before we get into the episode, give us a 96 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 1: quick rundown. You mentioned that introducing yourself was Bimbo at 97 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: the hospital. She doesn't just hang around hospitals just for funsies. 98 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,559 Speaker 1: Give us a quick update on your life since last 99 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,279 Speaker 1: time we checked in, which was just after Goodwill Hunting. 100 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 2: I think now it was a while after that. I 101 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 2: think it was probably I was still at UNI completing 102 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:37,239 Speaker 2: my surface of placement playing VFL at the time. Yeah, 103 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 2: that's what it was, So I just played VFL. I'd 104 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,480 Speaker 2: like to preface for the fact that I probably didn't 105 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 2: play VFL. I just was roaming around the field and 106 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 2: I think you could count my career as playing. 107 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,479 Speaker 1: That's such a lie. You were also an AFL diversity ambassador. 108 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 2: So yeah, that was last year. That was That was 109 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 2: actually really exciting, But obviously it was pause because COVID, 110 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 2: which was a shame because they just bought it back 111 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,840 Speaker 2: after a long hiatus. But yeah, in that time, I've 112 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 2: now graduated from physio, joined to the world.

So it's been hard not to be 173 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 1: able to do that together because we've had so much 174 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 1: fun doing gymnastics and ceramics and what else have we 175 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: done so much random stuff? 176 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:23,680 Speaker 2: We've done so many random things just yeah, we just 177 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,080 Speaker 2: sign up for it, like crazy trouble with things like 178 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 2: let's just go to Tazzy or let's just do a 179 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 2: half marathon, or let's just yeah, go do the writing gymnastics. Yeah, 180 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 2: it's just random stuff. 181 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: So the cutest thing happened the other day. I'm totally 182 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: dropping Pip in the shit from the house of Well Now. 183 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 1: She's my Channel seven producer. We were shooting the other 184 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 1: day and she was like, I was telling her, you 185 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 1: know where we've been, and we have the great privilege 186 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 1: of being able to continue to film during lockdown because 187 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 1: it's it's broadcasting and obviously with the skeleton crew, and 188 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 1: with all safety procedures in place, but you're talking about 189 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 1: not being able to travel, and that the how difficult 190 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 1: restriction of movement is for people who really consolidate their 191 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:04,839 Speaker 1: thoughts and who they are by getting physically out of 192 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 1: their environment. And we're talking about five acres Billa bilin 193 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: which you guys will have seen. We've fallen in love 194 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 1: with a new family who's become our extended family. Down there, 195 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 1: Kadian rom Lamorrow and she was like, oh, yes, I 196 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 1: saw that place. That's amazing. You and your sister were 197 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:24,559 Speaker 1: down there. I was like, yep, yeah, yeah, and foot 198 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 1: the foot my sister, sure, my child, my sister, my mom, 199 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 1: like all the different relationships. 200 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,559 Speaker 2: Every time someone said that would be like three dollars. 201 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 1: Rich, we'd have like a full piggybang by now. 202 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, we should into it from the start and seeing 203 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 2: how long we could hold that. 204 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 1: Well, we haven't even been playing into it and we're 205 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 1: still holding it. It's like years later and it still 206 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 1: happens all the time. Okay, So to the actual point 207 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 1: nine minutes later, what is your quote of the for this. 208 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 2: I said, this year, I've put in a kind of 209 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 2: emotional state at the minute I'm quite philosophical and quite 210 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 2: pensive and a little bit like mercury retrograde solar eclipse 211 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 2: some coming together. 212 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 1: So the film, okay, quickly for context, everybody and and 213 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 1: I are both quite similar in that where hysterically bimbos 214 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:29,239 Speaker 1: all the time, but then we go into really hectic, intellectual, 215 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 1: serious philosophical conversations about the English language and like the 216 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 1: etymology of different things. But then we're also not super 217 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 1: woo woo. But when we go woo woo, it's really hardcore. 218 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: So the other day she's like, hey, bim bem, You've 219 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 1: got to download this astrology app. So she couldn't match 220 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 1: our compatibility. You've been so philosophical lately, I. 221 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 2: Have because I don't know. I think Lockdown five really 222 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 2: hit me and probably a lot of people harder than 223 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,439 Speaker 2: the others. I really don't know why. I think it's 224 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 2: perhaps that we were had a sense of freedom, I guess, 225 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 2: and a long stint of it. It felt like, you know, 226 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 2: we're just taking off masks in the office, and I 227 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 2: thought that was a really big deal because obviously working 228 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 2: in the hospital, we working a lot in a multi 229 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 2: distant routeteae and it's really hard sometimes to not be 230 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,839 Speaker 2: able to see the people that you work with, as 231 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,080 Speaker 2: in see what they look like and their smiles and 232 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 2: things like that. And I think Lockdown five definitely got 233 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 2: to me in terms of becoming not like overly down, 234 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,559 Speaker 2: but just really reflective of where we are at the minute. 235 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 2: And then it became obviously very just emotional and philosophical. 236 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 2: And yeah, so there's two can I do too? Is 237 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 2: that allowed? 238 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 1: Absolutely the more the merrier. And I also love how 239 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 1: one is like a beautiful quote we need the Pooh, 240 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 1: absolutely love. The other is like an essay. I am 241 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 1: I going to fit that into the title of the episode. 242 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 2: The first one is don't be afraid of death, Winnie, 243 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,559 Speaker 2: be afraid of the unlived life. And I'm assuming that's it. 244 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 2: We need a food quote. But I this weird non 245 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 2: fear of death, and it's not in a morbid way, 246 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,320 Speaker 2: but it's more so that I think it's inevitable that 247 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 2: obviously time is limited for all of us. But the 248 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 2: fear or sadness is when you don't live the life 249 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 2: to the fullest, Like the things that you can control 250 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 2: are e your life, and then that's the things you 251 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,199 Speaker 2: can't conjoy. I e one day it's not going to 252 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 2: be a present anymore. To not live the fullest, I guess, 253 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 2: scares me, Like I just want to be able to 254 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 2: make the most sad of life and the people around 255 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:39,960 Speaker 2: me and moments and laughter and joy and sadness even 256 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,559 Speaker 2: and anger and all of the feelings that you could 257 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 2: possibly feel, because that is living. Yet it makes me 258 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,079 Speaker 2: really sad to think that some people aren't living their 259 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 2: life to the fullest because one day we probably we're 260 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,960 Speaker 2: not going to have it anymore. So yeah, so don't 261 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 2: be afraid of death, whinny, be afraid of the unlived life. 262 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 1: I think that's such a beautiful one. It's very seasy, 263 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:02,320 Speaker 1: a the idea of don't just beyond that autopilot mode 264 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:06,840 Speaker 1: with that momentum and relentless forward motion. You can end 265 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 1: up like decades and decades down a path that you 266 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:13,080 Speaker 1: didn't really ever choose, not having ever really experienced what 267 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,440 Speaker 1: else is out there for you. So I love that one, 268 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 1: and I think it's true, Like it's a fine line 269 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 1: on a show that's about joy where the role of 270 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: things like mortality and sadness and challenge and trauma fit. 271 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 1: But I think any theory of joy and happiness has 272 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 1: to acknowledge them somehow and find a way to use 273 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 1: those concepts to remind you even more so of the 274 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 1: importance of the role of joy and that you know. 275 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 1: That's why I think your philosophy of red hot crack 276 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 1: is so important, because it's like, what's the quot I 277 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 1: think it's Einstein, Maybe it was Einstein You only live once, 278 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 1: but if you live well, once is enough. I think 279 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 1: that's really lovely. 280 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 2: You know me well enough to know that I always 281 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 2: have always by that mote. And the thing they always 282 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 2: say is if you died tomorrow, would you be content 283 00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 2: with a life you live today? And that's pretty much 284 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 2: I live mine, and that that whole like no regrets 285 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 2: kind of living and seizing any opportunity that you want 286 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 2: and you feel like in erge to do to just 287 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 2: do it because there's no harm ever in trying. It 288 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 2: just makes you more of a fulfilled person when you 289 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 2: get to it. I think something that we learned in 290 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 2: year twelve in like this is eight just go in 291 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 2: health and human development. I think I remember it and 292 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 2: it stuck with me for a really long time, is 293 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 2: that when older people get old, they become just depressed 294 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 2: by the situation that they're in because their partners die 295 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,760 Speaker 2: and there's that sense of loneliness that reflect on their life, 296 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 2: and the reflection is off how content and fulfilled they 297 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 2: feel their lives were and are. And if you're not 298 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 2: really fulfilled, then it's really hard to change that. It's 299 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 2: kind of like, you know, I wish I went for 300 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 2: that job when I was twenty five. You can't really 301 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 2: do that when you're eighty five. So to be able 302 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 2: to do it while you've been in there and kind 303 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 2: of pre in the future of being reflective, then hopefully 304 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 2: by that point you are really content with your life 305 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 2: and you're really happy with the decisions that you made, 306 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 2: and you live this like no regrets kind of life, 307 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 2: even though not everything has to go to plan, Like 308 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 2: sometimes you fail at things, but that doesn't really matter 309 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 2: at all. It's about you me to crack and then 310 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 2: that is still fulfillment. Even if it's not a success, 311 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 2: it's still fulfilling. If that makes sense. 312 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, totally. I think you've probably heard me talk about 313 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 1: how my decision making has changed from like, obviously, making 314 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 1: decisions in the now and being really spontaneous is really important. 315 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 1: But I also why I agonize so much at the 316 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 1: point of making decisions about things is because I'm doing 317 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 1: future regret management. I'm always thinking what will future me 318 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 1: regret and what can I do to avoid that feeling. 319 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 1: So you're right, like, even if it doesn't turn out well, 320 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 1: I always look back and think, but I still wouldn't 321 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 1: have made a different decision. Therefore, I'm okay with the 322 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 1: fact that it didn't go well because I don't regret 323 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,280 Speaker 1: that I didn't try. And you know that other it's corny, 324 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 1: but that other quote of like I'd rather a life 325 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 1: in oh wells rather than what ifs, It's so true. 326 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 1: At least oh well is oh well, it didn't work, 327 00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 1: But I never die wondering. It's that wondering of like 328 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:04,199 Speaker 1: what could have been that I think people end up 329 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 1: so disappointed in. Yeah, just don't let yourself feel that 330 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 1: by just trying. 331 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 2: And I guess it's it's somewhat privileged thing to say 332 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,119 Speaker 2: right now in this environment where people are quite restricted 333 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,920 Speaker 2: and you can't really go and chase your dreams. But 334 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 2: it just even day to day decisions that you make, 335 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 2: you know, do I go hang out with my friends 336 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,880 Speaker 2: or do I not? All those things can still bring 337 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 2: fulfillment in smaller ways. It doesn't have to be a 338 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,359 Speaker 2: really grand goal or anything like that. So I know, 339 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 2: I'm just I'm a big live your life to the fullest, 340 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:35,400 Speaker 2: half half cut, half full kind of person. 341 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 1: Cut liquid stuff in their thing person. Plus plus, we 342 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 1: have like our own little language that is not very 343 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,399 Speaker 1: discernible from the outside. It's like, how are we going 344 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 1: to people today? But do you think that because of this? 345 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 1: I personally think that even though I'm already I have 346 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 1: quite an appetite for trying new things, this restriction of 347 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:10,200 Speaker 1: movement has meant that the periods in between, I'm even 348 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,720 Speaker 1: more like I have to use these moments because you 349 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,480 Speaker 1: never know when you won't have them again. I've become 350 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:19,200 Speaker 1: almost reckless in my desire to just make the most 351 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 1: of everything. Like I've just found it really invigorating, even 352 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 1: though you wouldn't wish it, You wouldn't wish the realization 353 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,639 Speaker 1: to have to happen that way. But sometimes you realize 354 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 1: how much you did take your freedom before for granted 355 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 1: and just expected you'd always be able to do things. 356 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, I love Luce Sarah. You reckless? 357 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 1: You what's your second quote? Bimb you had another really 358 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:47,880 Speaker 1: long yeah. 359 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,400 Speaker 2: My second quote is a longer one, but it's more 360 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 2: about the idea of it and the concept behind it. 361 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 2: And as I think I articulated, it is a really 362 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 2: nice story culling Way. I saw it on Instagram today, 363 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 2: so it's I mean numbers to this day is my 364 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 2: second grade best friend's birthday. There are people that don't 365 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 2: talk to anymore, whose families are still in my prayers. 366 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 2: There are shirts that wear to bed from ex's of 367 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,280 Speaker 2: eight years ago who are married now with kids. And 368 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,359 Speaker 2: I haven't found a macaroni recipe better than my college 369 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 2: boyfriend's mums. Our lives are made up of so many people, 370 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,159 Speaker 2: and when people become part of our lives, some parts 371 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 2: remain long after they leave. And in the same exact way, 372 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 2: it's company to know that there are so many lives 373 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:27,879 Speaker 2: who still a part of that you have no idea about. 374 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,680 Speaker 1: And I think that that's such a beautiful Yeah. 375 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 2: I love this one a lot. And when I say 376 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 2: at the start, I've become a bit more emotional, I 377 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 2: don't think it's so much emotional, but it's reflective and 378 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:41,919 Speaker 2: immensely grateful in this time and particularly around my people. 379 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,920 Speaker 2: I am a big believer that everyone that comes into 380 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:47,679 Speaker 2: your life shapes you to who you are. I just 381 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:49,640 Speaker 2: wonder how long they are there for. We will talking 382 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,360 Speaker 2: about this in phirth Violand and I was quite profound 383 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 2: about it only because I was really grateful that there's 384 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,399 Speaker 2: people that you meet and it could be when you 385 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 2: were two to yesterday and they I have just been 386 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,439 Speaker 2: a fleeting person in your life that kind of just 387 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 2: walks past, but they leave a big enough impact to 388 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,680 Speaker 2: help you make decisions in future as show you who 389 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 2: you are. And I don't think people have to be 390 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:15,239 Speaker 2: in your life forever to being your story forever. So 391 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 2: that one I really loved and so yeah, I think 392 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 2: this last period, in this last few weeks, I've been 393 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 2: even more grateful for the people around me and the 394 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 2: people that I have met previously will and I have 395 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 2: this burning urge to have to let them know as well. 396 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 2: So I think it's I've just in the last few weeks, 397 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 2: I've just been very forward and out with all my 398 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 2: friends and the people that I love and making sure 399 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 2: then that they're appreciated or loved. Yeah, and really. 400 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,639 Speaker 1: Profoundly, yes, I love that, Bim. I think it's so 401 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:52,400 Speaker 1: interesting how the way that conversations have unraveled on this podcast, 402 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 1: certain themes seem to come up at the time that 403 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 1: everyone needs to hear them or needs to be reminded 404 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,360 Speaker 1: of them. And this week's episode, literally that came out 405 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:03,840 Speaker 1: two days ago, and that was recorded like three days 406 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 1: ago with Sophie Kaisha. She said exactly the same thing. 407 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:13,160 Speaker 1: Was literally talking about the exact concept of people being 408 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,880 Speaker 1: part of your story, but they don't have to stay 409 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 1: in your life to always be part of your story. 410 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,160 Speaker 1: And she was talking in the context of relationships, how 411 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 1: she's just released her first book and so much of 412 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 1: it is about the people that were only there for 413 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,639 Speaker 1: a chapter, but that have stayed with her forever. And 414 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 1: it's so weird that like two days later we're talking 415 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,880 Speaker 1: about the exact same thing. That's crazy, Like. 416 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:34,840 Speaker 2: When I feel things seply, I feel things pretty deeply, 417 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 2: and I think this is something that I've just overwhelmingly 418 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,640 Speaker 2: felt just every day. It's kind of like I think, 419 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,920 Speaker 2: you know, people say, create a gratitude journal and write 420 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 2: five things and grateful for I genuinely can't do that 421 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 2: because I can't just write a sentence of like it'd 422 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:50,680 Speaker 2: be the same thing every day it'd be like yow 423 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 2: Stanley food water job, whereas being. 424 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 1: Greatful morning pood. 425 00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,120 Speaker 2: Three of them actually be more specific. 426 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 1: We've made it a really long way in without you 427 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:06,920 Speaker 1: mentioning Pooh once. I'm so proud, you know. 428 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 2: I was holding were dongue a lot for you. I 429 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 2: was like, I'll be a professional. 430 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 1: She's grown up, because she's grown up in last episode. 431 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 2: But no, I think gratitude for me has gotten me 432 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:22,359 Speaker 2: through the lockdown blues and a Really it sounds really 433 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 2: cliche because everyone's like, oh, be grateful for the things 434 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,159 Speaker 2: that you have, and I think Lockdown five, I was like, 435 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 2: I I'm kind of sick of them be grateful for 436 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,919 Speaker 2: everything that you have now, because I've tried to do 437 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:38,399 Speaker 2: that for the last four lockdowns and it kind of 438 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 2: just becomes really dry, and you're like, Okay, then I'm 439 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 2: already grateful, and then I have to be proactively grateful 440 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,359 Speaker 2: because that's how you get through these things and stuff 441 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 2: like that. But this one, being grateful for people is 442 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 2: really different because it's be grateful for people in different ways, 443 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 2: and therefore the gratitude is felt and expressed differently, and 444 00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,199 Speaker 2: so it just feels novel and different. Rather than just 445 00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 2: being grateful for your job, of your house, your water, 446 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,399 Speaker 2: you know, mum, dad and things like that. It's like, 447 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 2: I'm grateful for Sarah because she has been a mentor 448 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 2: for me and assisted to me and protective figure and 449 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 2: I'm supportive one for all these years. So I'm grateful 450 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 2: for Meck because he's shown me how to give generously 451 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 2: and genuinely without anything. You Woulturn, And I'm grateful for 452 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 2: you know, the patient that I had yesterday who showed 453 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:21,640 Speaker 2: me what it's like to be resilient in a really 454 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,360 Speaker 2: tough time in their life. So you get to kind 455 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 2: of be grateful, but it feels refreshed, if that makes sense. 456 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:32,440 Speaker 1: In this lockdown, I think that's such a good point too. 457 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 1: You really represent to me what I think so many 458 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 1: people have gone through that we are all being a 459 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:43,399 Speaker 1: little bit more pensive and reflective and analyzing and cleaning 460 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 1: the slate in our life, which is amazing. I mean, 461 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 1: it's a wonderful that that's an exercise people are allowing 462 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 1: themselves to do for the first time in so long 463 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:54,119 Speaker 1: but five and now six plus plus extended lockdowns in 464 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 1: You're right, the messages that you've been saying for five 465 00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,200 Speaker 1: six times now, if I'm grateful every day, you can't 466 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 1: feel grateful every day. It's kind of shit, Like there 467 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 1: are days where it becomes dry, yeah, where that feels 468 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 1: artificial to say even of course you're grateful, but like 469 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 1: you can't feel that every day in a way that 470 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:13,439 Speaker 1: removes the disappointment or the loss of hope or expectation 471 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:15,920 Speaker 1: or joy or whatever it is. But I think finding 472 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,920 Speaker 1: new ways to express it is so clever. And you've 473 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,960 Speaker 1: been doing a beautiful little project that I love. If 474 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 1: maybe you want to share it, you don't have to, 475 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 1: but I think, yeah, people are probably looking for ideas. 476 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,879 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. So I've always been a people person, and 477 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 2: I've always been as someone that struggles to show gratitude, 478 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:35,920 Speaker 2: not because I can't shop, because I just don't know 479 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,960 Speaker 2: how to show enough, particular to people when they have 480 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 2: made an impact in my life. I want to show 481 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,120 Speaker 2: how much they have, and so I try to be grateful. 482 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 2: And I'm a serialf givar and I'm serial like acts 483 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 2: of service and words of affirmations kind of person, and 484 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 2: I never ever feel like it's ever enough. So I 485 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 2: started this book a Dari and I've been drenaling a lot. 486 00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:58,399 Speaker 2: That's been something that's helped in lockdown a lot of 487 00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:02,359 Speaker 2: journally And this one is very thimed, and it's about 488 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 2: the people that have shaped me to who I am today. 489 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,359 Speaker 2: I'm just reading to here. I'm just going to read about. 490 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,639 Speaker 2: This is the this is the title. This is this 491 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:11,639 Speaker 2: book is dedicated to the people I've met, the people 492 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,200 Speaker 2: I love, and the people who have shaped me to 493 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 2: who I am and will become. And it's essentially just 494 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 2: on the day, whoever I feel grateful for whoever I've 495 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,239 Speaker 2: met that's made it left an impact that, like I 496 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 2: genuinely feel has I just write about and I write 497 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 2: quite truthfully and raw, in a raw way and in 498 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:29,879 Speaker 2: a way that I would want them to hear this also, 499 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 2: and I would happily share this with them when the 500 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 2: day comes or when I feel like they need a 501 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 2: little bit of love or whatever it is. Yeah, I'm 502 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,919 Speaker 2: just going to read the first page. I think that 503 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 2: is probably the best way to express what it's about. Also, 504 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,080 Speaker 2: I just want to just put a disclaimer. I had 505 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 2: a procedure this morning. I had to be sedated. 506 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 1: High. 507 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,840 Speaker 2: So if I'm really philosophical, I feel like this is 508 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,480 Speaker 2: what it would be if I were ever on drugs. 509 00:25:55,720 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 1: So this is why we recorded now because we have 510 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 1: just heard literally half an hour ago that our lockdown 511 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 1: is being extended and is high. This is a great 512 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 1: time to create some joy for everyone for next Monday. 513 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 2: If I have is this is if every Okay, this 514 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 2: is what I wrote. This is my first entry. I 515 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 2: appreciate that I'm twenty four and a half almost to 516 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,119 Speaker 2: worry back to my half birthday and not like anyone's 517 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:34,639 Speaker 2: scouting exclamation mark. And I've met hundreds of people that 518 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:36,560 Speaker 2: have had a lasting impact on me and who have 519 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,879 Speaker 2: become I don't believe that the people that help shape 520 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:41,720 Speaker 2: you necessarily have to be in your life for a 521 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:43,879 Speaker 2: lack of time, but I do believe they're remaining a 522 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:47,440 Speaker 2: story forever. They may have had an impact at the time, 523 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 2: and you may have changed as a person since, but 524 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 2: that doesn't discount their part in your never ending and 525 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 2: continually evolving story. I've been incredibly luking to have met 526 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,160 Speaker 2: some of the most amazing humans in my life who 527 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 2: have also taught me significant lessons by just being them, 528 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 2: who have changed my outlook in life and betted me 529 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 2: without realizing naked. This is to be a tribute to 530 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 2: all the people that I've met and continue to meet. 531 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,360 Speaker 2: There's no order other than the order of when I'm 532 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 2: feeling grateful for them. They will be double ups, but 533 00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 2: that will be determined on who on that day I 534 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 2: feel most grateful for. So here's the people I love 535 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:19,040 Speaker 2: and will be forever. 536 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,920 Speaker 1: You can get it to But it's so beautiful. But 537 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 1: also it is in a particular order because I'm first first, 538 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:34,119 Speaker 1: and just like yeah, but I also wrote it's in 539 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:44,120 Speaker 1: no particular order, and like, well obviously just saying but yes, 540 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 1: but you know, like, something I really believe is that 541 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 1: the quickest way to make your own day if you're 542 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 1: having a shit day is try really really hard to 543 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,920 Speaker 1: make someone else's. And like the response you get from 544 00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,160 Speaker 1: just giving someone a compliment or writing a little love 545 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 1: letter to the people who you appreciate, but it's unsolicited. 546 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,320 Speaker 1: It's not because it's their birthday, or it's not because 547 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,720 Speaker 1: it's you know, there's no reason that makes you feel 548 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:10,639 Speaker 1: better as much as it makes them feel better. So 549 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 1: it's the easiest thing you can do when you're sitting 550 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 1: in your room in lockdown with nothing else to do, right, loveless. 551 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,960 Speaker 2: Yes, it genuinely is like a big serotonin. 552 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 1: That's the joke, right, I don't know you're the expert. 553 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 2: Big mushroom dumbe. 554 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:32,200 Speaker 1: I just know in a mushroom inside a big fluffy mushroom. 555 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,639 Speaker 2: No, I think it genuinely does it? You know, like 556 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 2: running gives you en dolphins and all those like things 557 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,040 Speaker 2: that just automatically happen. It just brings you actually a 558 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 2: really good, feel good moment when you're able to express 559 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 2: your gratitude to someone else. And I think we should 560 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 2: probably start to remove the stigma or the weirdness around 561 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,800 Speaker 2: telling your friends they love you and like just genuinely 562 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 2: being like how are you and wanting an elaborate response 563 00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,360 Speaker 2: rather just are good, how are you? Kind of thing? 564 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 2: You know, I've sent you these long ass love letters 565 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:11,360 Speaker 2: best friend and please me my best friend forever, my 566 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 2: breast friend forever. 567 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 1: We're breast friends forever. Where breast friends forever come from? 568 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:17,960 Speaker 2: I don't know. Lack of. 569 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:25,680 Speaker 1: It was aspirational manifesting. Now that we're so woo woo, 570 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 1: just a quick break to give one of our amazing 571 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,360 Speaker 1: partners in Ya Matrix a little shout out and a 572 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 1: very big thank you for making this episode possible. You 573 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:44,280 Speaker 1: may have seen some fabulous, very fun and colorful content 574 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,960 Speaker 1: coming out of our photoshoot from earlier in the year Yep, 575 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:50,560 Speaker 1: that one where I Got Bangs, which kicked off this 576 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 1: heritage brand's groundbreaking brand refresh and relaunch to better embrace 577 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 1: beauty and of course, hair of all kinds. I'm so 578 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 1: so thrilled to join fellow ambassadors Rachel Sarah, who you 579 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:05,640 Speaker 1: will be hearing from, Jess Vandalay and AJ Clementine on 580 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:09,680 Speaker 1: the Matrix Australia Squad, particularly since we all share a 581 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:13,520 Speaker 1: common experience for unique reasons of feeling unrepresented in the 582 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:16,960 Speaker 1: beauty industry. It is so exciting to see the gradual 583 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 1: shift towards diversity and inclusion in beauty media and all 584 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:24,600 Speaker 1: kinds of industries. With these values underlying the relaunch brand, 585 00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 1: I'm even more in love with the product range that 586 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,800 Speaker 1: offers something for every hair need. I mean, just look 587 00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:31,240 Speaker 1: at the four of us and how different our hair 588 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 1: is to each other. It's available in Matrix salons and online. 589 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,800 Speaker 1: My hot tip the Total Results Miracle Creator Spray. It's 590 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 1: a twenty in one covering just about everything I've ever 591 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 1: wanted for my hair, but compatibly with my on the 592 00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,120 Speaker 1: go jampack lifestyle. I'll pop the link in the show 593 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:54,520 Speaker 1: notes you are welcome. And I think the other thing. 594 00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:58,800 Speaker 1: I think we're both really lighthearted and positivity panda. We 595 00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:02,320 Speaker 1: get really heavy and deep philosophical. Sometimes we just look 596 00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:04,200 Speaker 1: at the stars for hours and hours and talk about 597 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,880 Speaker 1: the meaning of life. But we also get triggered by 598 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:12,200 Speaker 1: really emotional things like so triggered by beautiful stories and 599 00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,400 Speaker 1: feel good moments. And the other thing you can do 600 00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 1: as a recommendation is to go and find beautiful stories 601 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:21,360 Speaker 1: in the neighborhood, which is obviously why Yighborhood Watches something 602 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:24,360 Speaker 1: that I committed to to share good stories with you guys, 603 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:26,479 Speaker 1: to compete with such negative news that's out there, but 604 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 1: also because it makes my day to go and find 605 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,480 Speaker 1: beautiful things that are happening, even on a really really 606 00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,800 Speaker 1: small scale, and just make them well known. So, is 607 00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,800 Speaker 1: there anything you've seen over the past couple of weeks 608 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,959 Speaker 1: that's really made you smile or like ant calls at 609 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,840 Speaker 1: heart poke, which is so now. I don't know that 610 00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 1: there's another I can't think of any other words that 611 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:47,640 Speaker 1: describe it. But when something just pokes your heart because 612 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,360 Speaker 1: it's so beautiful heart. 613 00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:52,760 Speaker 2: I live with my two grandmas, well Benoy and her sister, 614 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,480 Speaker 2: like Judy's been stuck you for a while. So they 615 00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,400 Speaker 2: just provide immense amounts of joy because they're just so 616 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:02,680 Speaker 2: funny and random. But there's definitely a patient that I 617 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 2: had earlier this year that I always reflect on because 618 00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:10,480 Speaker 2: they were just honestly, you would froth them. They were 619 00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:15,200 Speaker 2: the best patient ever. They were like ninety two or 620 00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,440 Speaker 2: something and they just come on and I was doing 621 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:22,840 Speaker 2: home visits. But this patient had skydived at eighty five, 622 00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:27,960 Speaker 2: their grandson, and they were like, I just I just 623 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,080 Speaker 2: want to live to one hundred. And they did this 624 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 2: thing with their hands that was so like old personally 625 00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:35,440 Speaker 2: and be like, you know, can you just show me 626 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,719 Speaker 2: how you get out of bed? And they'd stand up 627 00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:43,480 Speaker 2: and they'd go, I was like, I just got do 628 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,400 Speaker 2: just you know. Their goal was to live to one hundred, 629 00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:48,080 Speaker 2: and they were just that was their go I just 630 00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:49,560 Speaker 2: want to live for a hundred. And I wook every 631 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,160 Speaker 2: day and I over this ramp, you know, I skyped 632 00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:54,320 Speaker 2: over when I was eighty five, and I walked the 633 00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,880 Speaker 2: kakoda and I ran a marathon and oh my, it 634 00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 2: was just this person just full of life and just 635 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:04,200 Speaker 2: so happy and yeah, it was just such a go getter. 636 00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,360 Speaker 2: And to be at that age, I was like, I 637 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 2: want to be you at that age. You know. Imagine 638 00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:11,040 Speaker 2: an eighty five year jumping out of an aeroplane with 639 00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:14,720 Speaker 2: his grandsons, just like just really full of life and 640 00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:18,440 Speaker 2: this bubbly guy, and yeah, it's going to be you. Often. 641 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:21,719 Speaker 1: You're going to bet at like a ninety nine year 642 00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,760 Speaker 1: old who's like at a freaking no light snow like 643 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:28,720 Speaker 1: or a disco party in a morph suit. 644 00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:31,200 Speaker 2: Lot. 645 00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:31,880 Speaker 3: Like. 646 00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:38,560 Speaker 1: One thing I love about you, though, and that's been 647 00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:44,280 Speaker 1: since we met, is that you are so indiscriminate about age, 648 00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:48,240 Speaker 1: which is not common. There is a lot of subtle agism, 649 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:50,800 Speaker 1: even in the fact that the beauty industry and the 650 00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:54,440 Speaker 1: cosmetic beauty industry, and like even health and wellness is 651 00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:58,640 Speaker 1: subtlely based on avoiding aging. I feel like there's such 652 00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:02,040 Speaker 1: a negative connotation in where society at least about age. 653 00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:05,720 Speaker 1: And I know that you love Diana's episode because she, 654 00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:10,120 Speaker 1: for me was the turning point moment of not worrying 655 00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:13,120 Speaker 1: about age. Like age is relative. You can see a 656 00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,799 Speaker 1: sixty year old and another sixty year old who look 657 00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:19,319 Speaker 1: like they're three decades apart, because their mindset is one 658 00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,839 Speaker 1: is age is negative, and one is just embracing it 659 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:26,799 Speaker 1: as experience. And she swam from Cuba to Florida at 660 00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:29,400 Speaker 1: the age of sixty five and just continues. She's seventy 661 00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:31,760 Speaker 1: two now and still is one of the youngest minded 662 00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,560 Speaker 1: people that I know. And it's so interesting. It's such 663 00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:36,560 Speaker 1: a good example to hear from people who don't treat 664 00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 1: age as a negative thing because it makes you excited 665 00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 1: about getting older and getting more experienced. Idea about I 666 00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:43,960 Speaker 1: think it's such a mindset. 667 00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's almost like a social construct, to 668 00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:48,840 Speaker 2: be honest. I think it sad. This to someone the 669 00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,120 Speaker 2: other day who was a bit like, oh, you don't 670 00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:53,840 Speaker 2: count birthdays after your third And I was like, why no, 671 00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:57,240 Speaker 2: it's awesome, Like I think there's a quote on your books. 672 00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,520 Speaker 1: It's because I have no memory, That's why you know 673 00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:03,200 Speaker 1: what old I am. I didn't google it, remember it? 674 00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:06,880 Speaker 1: Feel about that. I was like, Genet, how one, two, three? 675 00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:09,880 Speaker 1: I couldn't do it. It's not because I'm negative. I 676 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:12,640 Speaker 1: think age is negative because I'm just silly, just like. 677 00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:15,719 Speaker 2: It genuinely does not bother me. I don't think it 678 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,960 Speaker 2: defines anyone at all. I think it's I couldn't tell 679 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:22,000 Speaker 2: you how old any of my friends were, or it's 680 00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:24,600 Speaker 2: just pure connection. And I feel like if you're restrict 681 00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:26,520 Speaker 2: to you connect to and who you want to be 682 00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,719 Speaker 2: friends with, it's just because of an age, or it's 683 00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:32,160 Speaker 2: quite a judgmental thing. It's a bit like racing things. 684 00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:35,480 Speaker 2: But people don't obviously think about it. I would absolutely 685 00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:38,080 Speaker 2: if I had a best friend who was sixty five 686 00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:44,600 Speaker 2: like yourself, I wouldn't care a lot of friends who 687 00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:47,200 Speaker 2: are a lot older. But I genuinely don't think about 688 00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,400 Speaker 2: that ever in my life until it's put down as 689 00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:52,360 Speaker 2: a number. But even then it doesn't change any anything 690 00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:54,120 Speaker 2: for me. I just feel like if you just connect 691 00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:57,200 Speaker 2: with someone, you connect with someone regardless, it doesn't really matter. Yeah. 692 00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:00,600 Speaker 2: And also, people in different stages of the life can 693 00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:02,640 Speaker 2: teach you so many things. I feel that's what makes 694 00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:05,680 Speaker 2: me much more open minded is that I can have 695 00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:08,279 Speaker 2: friends that are older and then my age, and then 696 00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:11,680 Speaker 2: we have cousins who are younger and see the Huld 697 00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:15,040 Speaker 2: spectrum and how life genes and enrolls and looks different 698 00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:17,360 Speaker 2: in each time. And obviously being on the board, I'm 699 00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:19,400 Speaker 2: doing a lot with a lot of GEM patients at 700 00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,600 Speaker 2: the minute who are six or five and above, like 701 00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:24,839 Speaker 2: ninety to ninety nine, one hundred, and you just see 702 00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:27,640 Speaker 2: them and you're like, you're amazing. 703 00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:32,040 Speaker 1: You're here and you're pushing through and it's amazing. Oh, 704 00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:32,680 Speaker 1: that's beautiful. 705 00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:32,920 Speaker 2: Vim. 706 00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:35,520 Speaker 1: I found a couple of things that so we are 707 00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:38,640 Speaker 1: also hectically into the Olympics. Like we've all just had 708 00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:40,800 Speaker 1: this group message threat about the most beautiful things that 709 00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:43,279 Speaker 1: have come out of the Olympics, and I think, not 710 00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,560 Speaker 1: only is it because you were Necker obsessed with sport 711 00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:48,760 Speaker 1: and I get triggered by humanity. I think it's mainly 712 00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:50,719 Speaker 1: because of the human stories that come out of it 713 00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:53,279 Speaker 1: more than anything. And there's been so many beautiful things 714 00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:55,320 Speaker 1: that came out of the Olympics. Even if it wasn't 715 00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:58,560 Speaker 1: necessarily the Olympics everyone had hoped for, I still think 716 00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:01,120 Speaker 1: it brought so much joy. And I've shared a couple 717 00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:04,280 Speaker 1: from the last Years of Our Lives episode, but another 718 00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:09,880 Speaker 1: one that came out since then was the decathlon where 719 00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:14,640 Speaker 1: two If you guys haven't heard of it, it's such 720 00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:20,239 Speaker 1: a beautiful story. So Cedric Doubler was running alongside another Australian, 721 00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:24,320 Speaker 1: Ash Maloney, and Ash was running a lot further ahead. 722 00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:27,080 Speaker 1: He had a better chance at meddling in the race, 723 00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:30,960 Speaker 1: and Cedric sacrificed his race to help Maloney, who was 724 00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:34,040 Speaker 1: starting to flag, get across and win a bronze. And 725 00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:36,520 Speaker 1: it is just like, go and read the article's watch 726 00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:39,400 Speaker 1: the videos. It's just one of the most beautiful. Like, 727 00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:41,960 Speaker 1: you know, I always say that quote about success doesn't 728 00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:44,080 Speaker 1: have when you share it at doubles, and like, competition 729 00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:47,160 Speaker 1: is important. Obviously in the Olympics, you'll literally it's the 730 00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:50,600 Speaker 1: definition of a competition. But to see someone who's spent 731 00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:52,880 Speaker 1: his whole life trying to get there and acknowledge that 732 00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:56,000 Speaker 1: his race was maybe over, but his teammate could get 733 00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,600 Speaker 1: there with a little bit of support, like Ash kept 734 00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:00,480 Speaker 1: saying that Cedric would come over and all he could 735 00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:03,120 Speaker 1: hear was him screaming in his face, I can't going 736 00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:06,359 Speaker 1: And I was like, what are you doing here? Man, Like, yeah, 737 00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:09,560 Speaker 1: that's me. It was just such a beautiful story. I 738 00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:10,960 Speaker 1: thought that was a really nice one. 739 00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:12,879 Speaker 2: No, I loved that one. 740 00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:13,200 Speaker 3: Yeah. 741 00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:16,719 Speaker 1: I also found a random see this is what makes 742 00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:18,160 Speaker 1: me happy about this section. It makes me go and 743 00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:23,719 Speaker 1: look for nice stories. There's a removalist company in Melbourne 744 00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:29,680 Speaker 1: that's helping LGBTQIA plus Melbournians move house safely without any 745 00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:32,879 Speaker 1: discrimination and like in a really safe environment, called Queer Move. 746 00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:36,399 Speaker 1: I think that is so lovely. I hadn't heard of it, 747 00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:39,520 Speaker 1: but I can imagine that there would be instances where 748 00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:43,359 Speaker 1: couples feel really persecuted or uncomfortable to let people into 749 00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:45,719 Speaker 1: their house, and moving house is such an intimate thing 750 00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:48,279 Speaker 1: to do, and there is I mean, as much as 751 00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:50,840 Speaker 1: society is evolving a lot, there are pockets of society 752 00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:53,760 Speaker 1: where there is still so much discrimination because of gender, 753 00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:58,960 Speaker 1: everything really race, as you mentioned before, gender, sexual preference, 754 00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:01,920 Speaker 1: all kinds of identifications. So I thought this was really 755 00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:04,680 Speaker 1: beautiful that queer Move was a service that's come to 756 00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:07,040 Speaker 1: life because of con That's so cool. 757 00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:10,160 Speaker 2: I love that. I'm so such a like equity advocate. 758 00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:11,000 Speaker 2: I love that a lot. 759 00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:13,359 Speaker 1: You know those things that you're just saying, I love 760 00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:16,000 Speaker 1: that someone did that. It's because people were having bad experiences. 761 00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,279 Speaker 1: So someone just was like, enough of this, We're going 762 00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:20,560 Speaker 1: to make queer move and we're going to move people. Okay, 763 00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:21,560 Speaker 1: give you a hand up? 764 00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:22,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, hand up? 765 00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:24,960 Speaker 1: Do you legitimately have your hand up right now? I 766 00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:29,920 Speaker 1: love how I talk so much you have to put 767 00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:30,360 Speaker 1: your hand. 768 00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:34,600 Speaker 2: Interrupt But I thought of a really good one, but 769 00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:38,560 Speaker 2: all go. Yeah. So my friend messaged me this article 770 00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:41,520 Speaker 2: the other day in the Guardian for this invention that 771 00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:42,960 Speaker 2: Japanese people have made. 772 00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:49,200 Speaker 1: No, but I love Japanese inventions for things that we 773 00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:51,200 Speaker 1: all want. We all love that, but we all want them. 774 00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:54,880 Speaker 2: This is amazing. You're so for people that I am 775 00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:57,560 Speaker 2: giving birth and want their friends to meet their baby. 776 00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:00,600 Speaker 2: Obviously kind of lock down. This company have set up 777 00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:05,040 Speaker 2: a give business where you you send them a sack 778 00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:07,040 Speaker 2: of rice in the weight that the baby is, with 779 00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:08,440 Speaker 2: a picture of it. 780 00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:22,200 Speaker 1: I love Japan so much. There's an amazing, amazing BuzzFeed 781 00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:25,000 Speaker 1: article of all the inventions that have come out of 782 00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:28,000 Speaker 1: Japan that we all think are hysterically silly, but then 783 00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:29,480 Speaker 1: all want them because they're amazing. 784 00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:31,120 Speaker 2: Like the one with the toilet paper on your head, 785 00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:32,040 Speaker 2: that's my favorite one. 786 00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:35,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, or the noodle splash to like the face mask 787 00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:38,600 Speaker 1: thing that protects your hair from noodle splash. Oh my god, 788 00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:43,600 Speaker 1: stop is that a bow? For a girl. One, it's 789 00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:44,640 Speaker 1: a girl bag of rice. 790 00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:46,640 Speaker 2: That's what's a girl. But they put the baby's face 791 00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:50,640 Speaker 2: on it and it's the same weight. That's what the 792 00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:51,200 Speaker 2: baby is. 793 00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:58,200 Speaker 1: It's so clever, hilarious as. 794 00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:00,399 Speaker 2: The cutest thing ever. I can imagine. It's any around 795 00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:02,440 Speaker 2: bags of rice when you just give. 796 00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:05,279 Speaker 1: And then they can eat the rice after. That's so, 797 00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:06,359 Speaker 1: why is it? 798 00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:11,080 Speaker 2: I was like, exactly, I would love that. 799 00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:13,240 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, no, I think I would. 800 00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:15,480 Speaker 2: I probably liked to meet the child, but also free 801 00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:16,160 Speaker 2: bag of rice. 802 00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:18,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, i'd prefer I'd prefer the child, but then you 803 00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:20,320 Speaker 1: also can eat the rice, so that's great. 804 00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:23,760 Speaker 2: Quickly though, what's your quote? 805 00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:27,040 Speaker 1: Oh no, you choose the quote, but what is your 806 00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:30,440 Speaker 1: I don't pick a quote. Oh that's a good question. 807 00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:32,680 Speaker 2: You don't get to pick a quote, but you don't 808 00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:35,120 Speaker 2: like it's it's nice for people to also know where 809 00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:35,480 Speaker 2: you are. 810 00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:40,759 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think probably every day may not be good, 811 00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:44,200 Speaker 1: but there's something good in every day. I think we've 812 00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:47,560 Speaker 1: been in a eighteen to twenty four month period now 813 00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:51,759 Speaker 1: where big chunks of it have not really been how 814 00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:54,759 Speaker 1: he had hoped and are full of disappointment and loss 815 00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:59,120 Speaker 1: of expectation and from big things like weddings and funerals, 816 00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:03,200 Speaker 1: to smaller things like birthdays or just milestones. And having 817 00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:07,800 Speaker 1: just spent most of my last five years really drilling 818 00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:11,640 Speaker 1: the importance of celebrating things and smelling the roses, you know, 819 00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:14,440 Speaker 1: I feel like I just got to making time for 820 00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:16,680 Speaker 1: that in my life, and then suddenly the ability to 821 00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:21,320 Speaker 1: do it was suddenly gone, unexpectedly. It's been really hard 822 00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:26,359 Speaker 1: to cultivate alternatives to that, ways to celebrate, or to 823 00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:28,160 Speaker 1: celebrate in a way that keeps you motivated to keep 824 00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:31,480 Speaker 1: doing what you do. It's Nick's birthday on Friday, and 825 00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:34,480 Speaker 1: we'd had a really cute weekend planned, and it's really 826 00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:37,080 Speaker 1: hard to sort of figure out how to acknowledge things 827 00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:39,319 Speaker 1: like that and create little moments of joy, particularly when 828 00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:42,279 Speaker 1: you work together and live together. But I think that 829 00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:45,960 Speaker 1: quote helps me be okay that, even as a positivity panda, 830 00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:48,279 Speaker 1: not every day feels good. In fact, a lot of 831 00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:52,200 Speaker 1: days have felt really hard, anxieties at an all time high, 832 00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:55,640 Speaker 1: but also fatigue, Like I'm genuinely sometimes not sure if 833 00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:57,839 Speaker 1: I'm tired because I'm anxious, if I'm tired because I've 834 00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:01,080 Speaker 1: overdone it, if I'm tired because I've had chronic fatigue 835 00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:02,960 Speaker 1: in the past, and it's just a relapse, or if 836 00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:04,560 Speaker 1: it's just because there's so much going on in the 837 00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:07,600 Speaker 1: brain all the time. Yeah, But I think if you 838 00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:10,640 Speaker 1: commit to at least finding one good thing and every day, 839 00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:12,560 Speaker 1: it doesn't mean you have to feel grateful for everything, 840 00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:15,000 Speaker 1: like roof over my head, you know, moving limbs, like 841 00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:17,319 Speaker 1: that's really important. Of course I'm grateful for those things, 842 00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:21,000 Speaker 1: but to consciously find a new thing that is good 843 00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:24,120 Speaker 1: about that day, even like this conversation or a joke 844 00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:29,680 Speaker 1: that makes you laugh, you know, those small things. I 845 00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:31,800 Speaker 1: don't even know how I could explain that to people 846 00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:38,680 Speaker 1: in a way that they'd understand. I'm sorry like that, Okay. 847 00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:47,600 Speaker 1: So we both study Japanese at school, and I know 848 00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:50,600 Speaker 1: I'm even looking at the title of what I made, 849 00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:52,080 Speaker 1: what I named it Austin. 850 00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:56,759 Speaker 2: We just love the Japanese language and we love katakana 851 00:43:56,800 --> 00:44:00,279 Speaker 2: and turn these like Western words into Japanese with the 852 00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:01,719 Speaker 2: cut kind of is like ice cream. 853 00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:07,759 Speaker 1: Is I sukurim rou and Australia is also, And we 854 00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:10,840 Speaker 1: got into this weird fit of adding fudu to everything 855 00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:11,640 Speaker 1: because it's. 856 00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:13,840 Speaker 2: A kind of funny like sound of it. So Anyway, 857 00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:17,040 Speaker 2: we digress, but I did want to say that your 858 00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:19,840 Speaker 2: whole thing of finding something that you great for and 859 00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:23,719 Speaker 2: celebrating things, even small things, I think you're one of 860 00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:25,759 Speaker 2: the best people that I know or have taught me. 861 00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:29,680 Speaker 2: This is how you celebrate other people. And somehow, as 862 00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:32,600 Speaker 2: tired as you ever can be or ever are, you 863 00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:35,600 Speaker 2: have always been able to celebrate me or your friends 864 00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:39,640 Speaker 2: or nick really wholeheartedly and really genuinely. So I don't 865 00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:41,840 Speaker 2: know if that's because you just thrive off the energy 866 00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:46,040 Speaker 2: and get that endorphin or serotonin hint from celebrating other people, 867 00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:48,479 Speaker 2: but somehow you still seem to do it so well, 868 00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:51,000 Speaker 2: So I know, I think people can try practicing that 869 00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:54,400 Speaker 2: as well, celebrating other people and other people's wings. Like 870 00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:56,759 Speaker 2: just before this call, I had a call from a 871 00:44:56,760 --> 00:45:00,760 Speaker 2: friend who had got her dream job, and I was like, 872 00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:02,759 Speaker 2: like to the point where I was like, is this 873 00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:06,640 Speaker 2: the sedatives or is this what it actually feels like? 874 00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:10,880 Speaker 1: So that was just Yeah, that whole Dak kills. 875 00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:12,960 Speaker 2: More James and fay ever will come into play. It's 876 00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:14,480 Speaker 2: just that there's a lot of quotes floating around at 877 00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:16,200 Speaker 2: the minute. 878 00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:18,719 Speaker 1: But yeah, but they all mean something. I think and 879 00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:23,720 Speaker 1: I mean, you know that the podcast for me twice 880 00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:26,560 Speaker 1: a week, like most of the time there's two guests, 881 00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:28,879 Speaker 1: sometimes there's only one, but at least once a week, 882 00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:31,560 Speaker 1: maybe twice, to get to celebrate someone else's story and 883 00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:34,640 Speaker 1: what they're doing, particularly if there's someone I've followed since 884 00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:37,879 Speaker 1: they hadn't hit the dreams that they maybe have since then. 885 00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:40,600 Speaker 1: Like all those things, I almost get more excited. Like 886 00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:44,360 Speaker 1: when Sophi announced her book, she was posting the post, 887 00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:48,120 Speaker 1: the announcement post while we were recording, and my face 888 00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:52,640 Speaker 1: is more squish than her face, Like I was so excited. 889 00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:55,880 Speaker 1: We're not even really close friends. Like I just get 890 00:45:56,200 --> 00:46:00,560 Speaker 1: so excited for other people, And I think we all do, really, 891 00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:02,799 Speaker 1: we all love to celebrate the people we love doing 892 00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:05,200 Speaker 1: really well. But focusing on that and like spending a 893 00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:07,719 Speaker 1: little moment to get lost in that it makes your 894 00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:10,880 Speaker 1: day better, but also allowing myself to be like the 895 00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:13,520 Speaker 1: day overall might not have been a good day, it 896 00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:15,480 Speaker 1: doesn't have to be. Even as a positive person, Like 897 00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:17,759 Speaker 1: my identity is really tied up in being positive and 898 00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:20,680 Speaker 1: seeing the silver linings and lifting up others and finding 899 00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:23,359 Speaker 1: the yay. But if I only find five minutes of yeah, 900 00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:24,880 Speaker 1: in one day that doesn't matter. The rest of the 901 00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:27,359 Speaker 1: day is allowed to feel luck. And that's been something 902 00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:29,520 Speaker 1: I've had to allow myself to do as well, because 903 00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:33,319 Speaker 1: otherwise you're masking and then that's why you're tired, because 904 00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:36,000 Speaker 1: you're putting on joy because you feel like you should 905 00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:38,680 Speaker 1: and like it's this vicious cycle. Yeah, so I think 906 00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:41,120 Speaker 1: that's why I keep saying in all my posts as well, 907 00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:43,560 Speaker 1: like be gentle on yourself if you feel weird and 908 00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:45,799 Speaker 1: you're having a weird reaction and you're tired, or you're 909 00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:47,719 Speaker 1: run down or your whatever, and you don't know why, 910 00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:50,640 Speaker 1: and you're like, nothing big has really happened. Two years 911 00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:53,239 Speaker 1: of big has happened. So if you feel weird on 912 00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:56,680 Speaker 1: a particular day, that's probably why. Don't overthink it, but 913 00:46:56,719 --> 00:46:59,200 Speaker 1: also don't try and push it away. You'll find one 914 00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:00,960 Speaker 1: moment of joy that day and that's enough. If that's 915 00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:02,120 Speaker 1: all you did, that's totally fine. 916 00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:03,680 Speaker 2: But even if you don't feel driven that day, that's 917 00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:04,200 Speaker 2: okay too. 918 00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:05,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's okay. 919 00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:07,560 Speaker 2: I think this is like the prime time of the whole. 920 00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:11,200 Speaker 2: It's okay to be emotional or have feelings or feel 921 00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:12,880 Speaker 2: a lot or feel too much I don't think this 922 00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:14,920 Speaker 2: is such a thing of feeling too much. But I 923 00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:16,960 Speaker 2: think if you, you know, if you I send your 924 00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:19,000 Speaker 2: whole textans you're just saying all the reasons why I 925 00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:22,640 Speaker 2: love you, I'd hope that ten minutes after, I didn't 926 00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:24,880 Speaker 2: regret that because I felt I was like me or 927 00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:27,360 Speaker 2: too attached or whatever that is. You think it's age, 928 00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:31,480 Speaker 2: which I'm actually not ashamed of being. If that's what like, 929 00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:34,120 Speaker 2: it genuinely doesn't bother me. If it means that if 930 00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:36,040 Speaker 2: I died tomorrow and they know that they were truly 931 00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:38,480 Speaker 2: loved by me and all the feelings that I had 932 00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:41,160 Speaker 2: towards them, and how much how grateful that I am, 933 00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:43,400 Speaker 2: I couldn't care that's what people thought of me, or 934 00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:45,080 Speaker 2: the perception that people had of me. If it meant 935 00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:47,960 Speaker 2: that I genuinely they felt love, They felt like they 936 00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:50,759 Speaker 2: were they belonged in somewhere, and they felt, you know, 937 00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:52,880 Speaker 2: they were seen, and that's all that matters really at 938 00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:55,360 Speaker 2: the end of the day. So I don't gratitude totally 939 00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:58,080 Speaker 2: get that, Yeah, that was all. 940 00:47:58,040 --> 00:48:10,960 Speaker 1: Sorry for That's just spend forty minutes.

It was just so funny. 944 00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:23,440 Speaker 1: I was so that was a moment at the end 945 00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:25,000 Speaker 1: of the day in my gratitude journal, I was like 946 00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:28,120 Speaker 1: that moment, it was just so funny.
