1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,480
Speaker 1: You know, after Dad die, you realize that time is

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 1: very fleeting, Like we have this, you know, minuscule amount

3
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: of time where we are able to just do what

4
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:12,959
Speaker 1: we love with the people that we love. Take advantage

5
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: of that, like only surround yourself with people who you

6
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,919
Speaker 1: genuinely love and then tell them and I think you

7
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: know having a child. It is this gift of healing

8
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: parts of you that you didn't know needed to be healed.

9
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 2: Welcome to the Sees the Yay Podcast. Busy and happy

10
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 2: are not the same thing. We too rarely question what

11
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 2: makes the heart seeing.

12
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 3: We work, then we.

13
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:41,200
Speaker 2: Rest, but rarely we play and often don't realize there's

14
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 2: more than one way. So this is a platform to

15
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,200
Speaker 2: hear and explore the stories of those who found lives

16
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 2: they adore, the.

17
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 3: Good, bad and ugly.

18
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 2: The best and worst day will bear all the facets

19
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 2: of seizing your yay. I'm Sarah Davidson or a spoonful

20
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 2: of Sarah, a lawyer turned funentrepreneur who swapped suits and

21
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 2: heels to co found matcha Maiden and matcha Milkbar. CZA

22
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 2: is a series of conversations on finding a life you

23
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,479
Speaker 2: love and exploring the self doubt, challenge.

24
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 3: Joy and fulfillment along the way.

25
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 2: There are a few people I've had on the Dream

26
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,639
Speaker 2: guest list since right back at the beginning in twenty

27
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 2: eighteen when we first started, and today's is one of

28
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,119
Speaker 2: those extraordinary people who I still can't believe actually said yes.

29
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 2: We've had a few reschedules to make this happen around

30
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 2: her understandably jam packed schedule. In fact, I'm still pinching

31
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 2: myself that we managed to steal her away at all.

32
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 2: We are so lucky to have her, But the universe

33
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 2: always works things out in perfect timing, and I couldn't

34
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 2: have given you a more perfect guest for our International

35
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 2: Women's Day episode if I tried. Having captivated audiences for

36
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 2: most of her life, Bindi Irwin will need no introduction,

37
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 2: and writing one that does her justice is a challenge

38
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 2: that I'm not actually sure I have adequate words for.

39
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 2: From navigating the devastating loss of her farm at such

40
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 2: a young age, to growing up in the spotlight facing

41
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 2: a debilitating journey with endometriosis, to nonetheless thriving as a

42
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:14,239
Speaker 2: passionate conservationist, presenter, author of her own book, CEO of Australia, zoo,

43
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 2: loving wife, sister, daughter, and dedicated mother. She is truly

44
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 2: an extraordinary young woman who has lived a million lifetimes already,

45
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,679
Speaker 2: and there is still so much more to come. I

46
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 2: know I'm not alone in feeling like I grew up

47
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 2: with the Owen family in a strange way, and I

48
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 2: can't imagine the pressure, scrutiny, and overwhelm of growing up

49
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 2: in front of an entire nation and having all of

50
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 2: us watch every chapter of your life unravel. And yet

51
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 2: Bindi is unfailingly kind, incredibly well adjusted, and wise beyond

52
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 2: her years. I'm also probably not alone in having thought,

53
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 2: at one stage or another that surely she can't actually

54
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 2: be that excited about life all the time, nor could

55
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 2: any of the Owens that matter. They always just seem

56
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,959
Speaker 2: so happy about life on TV. And yet when you

57
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 2: do get the privilege to spend some time with them person,

58
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 2: they are genuinely exactly as you see, and it is

59
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 2: truly something special. Bindy's passion for her and her family's

60
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 2: work with wildlife and the environment is incredibly infectious in

61
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 2: exactly the way that I always hoped for this show

62
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 2: to be. If each of us could find even half

63
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 2: the sense of purpose and enthusiasm that she has for

64
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 2: her life, her work, and her family. The world would

65
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 2: be a pretty incredible place. I'll leave it there, as

66
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 2: no words will do her more justice than you just

67
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 2: hearing from her yourself. I hope you guys enjoy this

68
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 2: one as much as I did.

69
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 3: Bindy Owen, welcome to seize the a.

70
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 4: Yay, thank you so much. I'm so happy to be

71
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 4: here with you.

72
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, I am so happy.

73
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 2: It is such an honor and a privilege and surreal

74
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 2: and a delight. You are honestly a ray of sunshine.

75
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 2: And I feel like, much like your entire family, we've

76
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 2: all grown up with you. The country has grown up

77
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 2: with so much of your life, and I just sort

78
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 2: of thought, it's impossible that she's like that in real life.

79
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 2: And then I got to meet you, and you were

80
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 2: even better, and I was just like, how is this

81
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 2: ray of sunshine squeezed into this tiny little body?

82
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 4: So I'm so happy we got to meet.

83
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: And it was at our STEVEO and Gala, so we

84
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: got to meet while I was holding a snake, so

85
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: I was in my happy place, so it was perfect.

86
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 2: It was extremely on brand, extremely on brand, and I

87
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 2: was very proud of you.

88
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 4: You were very brave. You don't have any fear of snakes,

89
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 4: or do you?

90
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 2: Well, I feel like because I was in your presence,

91
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 2: and this might sound strange, but because we have spent

92
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 2: so much of our lives watching you be one with

93
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 2: nature and speak to animals in this way that's so

94
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 2: innate and familiar, I might have been scared in a

95
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 2: different context, but you were just so crazily relaxed and

96
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 2: at ease, and you really did seem like you were

97
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 2: absolutely in your element. So I think all of us

98
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 2: were so at ease because you were just like, look,

99
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 2: how cute. And I was like, look, that's not the

100
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 2: word that comes to mind for me, but you're making

101
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 2: me comfortable.

102
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 3: So if you're comfable, uncomfortable.

103
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 4: I'm so glad. I am so proud of you.

104
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: Though it is for a lot of it as instinct

105
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 1: to be a little bit nervous around snake, so never

106
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 1: blame anyone for that.

107
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 4: But I was very proud. You were very very breathe.

108
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 1: I was so happy to see you, and now I'm

109
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: so glad we get to catch up for more time.

110
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 3: So thank you, oh well, thank you so much.

111
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:36,599
Speaker 2: And it was such a pleasure, even more so because again,

112
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 2: having spent so much time watching you as a young

113
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 2: girl and then growing into a young woman that to

114
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 2: then bond over becoming mums both on that night and

115
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 2: just in our chat before we started recording, has also

116
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,679
Speaker 2: been the loveliest experience because I remember at the gala,

117
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 2: you had just arrived from overseas. You were incredibly jet lagged.

118
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 2: You've been holding Robert's mirrorble like you've just been from

119
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 2: one world to the next, and yet you were able

120
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 2: to be so eloquent and so powerful in your conservation

121
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 2: message and duck home to do the bedtime routine. I

122
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 2: was just like, if that is not the modern day

123
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 2: womanhood juggle, I don't know what.

124
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 1: Is, Oh my goodness, but it's so interesting how our

125
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: lives just shift in so many ways but also stay

126
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 1: the same. And I'm sure you experienced it as well,

127
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: you know that juggle with everything. Yeah, Chandler and I

128
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: we made a deal that we would always be there

129
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: for bedtime so very important. So even with nights like that,

130
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: we feel very honored to get to do our conservation

131
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: work that we love, but we have to be there

132
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: for bedtime because that you know you wouldn't miss it

133
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: for the world, so it's so important. But I just

134
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 1: I'm so excited to talk to someone so wonderful, to

135
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: share so much kindness and love and light in what

136
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: you do. It's such a breath of fresh air. The

137
00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 1: world needs a little more kindness and so through the

138
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 1: work that you are doing, I mean sees the YA.

139
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 1: That's what we should all be doing every day of

140
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 1: our lives. So that's seriously, we need to see THEA.

141
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: So I'm so excited to be able to chat with you.

142
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: And just before we get into everything, thank you so

143
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: much truly for what you are doing, for bringing that

144
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: light into the world, because there need to be more

145
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: people like you. So thank you, and I'm almost grateful.

146
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: But the legacy that you are creating, and I know

147
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: your little one will be too.

148
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 2: I mean talking about legacy and my little one, this

149
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 2: is your gift to us. This is one of our

150
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 2: favorite bedtime books. You have been in our household for

151
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 2: so many chapters. I've heard you say a couple of

152
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 2: times that you've lived so many lifetimes already in one lifetime,

153
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 2: and a big part of cz THEA is reflecting back

154
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 2: on how no one's pathway is linear, and while certain

155
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 2: dots might connect, like your passion for conservation, that it

156
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 2: manifests in very different ways through different chapters. But you've

157
00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 2: been part of so many of mine. And before we

158
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 2: do get into that, I must say the timing of this.

159
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 3: We had this.

160
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 2: Recording lined up a little while ago, and I truly

161
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 2: believe that the world works out timing in the most

162
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 2: perfect way. It wasn't meant to be then, and it

163
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 2: was meant to be now because it means that this

164
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 2: episode comes out for International Women's Day, and I couldn't

165
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 2: think of a more incredible woman to represent that occasion.

166
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 2: But also by the time it comes out, it will

167
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 2: be nearly Grace's birthday, which is also your wedding anniversary,

168
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 2: which is also one day after my birthday, and my

169
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 2: brother's birthday, which is three days before Teddy's birthday. So

170
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 2: it is all meant to be.

171
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 4: Kidding, Oh my goodness, I feel like our lives are

172
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 4: just aligned. That is wild. Isn't that Nuts' chances? I

173
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 4: know that is actually nuts. Oh my goodness.

174
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:52,839
Speaker 2: I was doing the numbers and I was like, how

175
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 2: did this work out?

176
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 3: It just happened to be so cool. It was meant

177
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:56,959
Speaker 3: to be.

178
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:58,959
Speaker 2: It's obviously we're meant to be. We're meant to be

179
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,079
Speaker 2: best friends. That's I'm going to interpret from that.

180
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 4: I agree, I'm here for that, So taking it right back.

181
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 2: To the start, I think so many Australians have been

182
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 2: part of your life, even if you don't necessarily know us,

183
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 2: we all feel like you've been such a big part

184
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 2: of our lives, being on our screens and in our

185
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:24,199
Speaker 2: homes teaching us about conservation. Since I think you've been

186
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 2: on captivating audiences since the age of two. You hosted

187
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 2: your first TV show at nine, I want to know

188
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 2: whether there was any question that you would follow your

189
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 2: family into the world of animals and conservation, because every

190
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 2: young person is out there forging their own pathway and

191
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 2: sometimes you go into the family business, sometimes you don't.

192
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 2: Did you ever think of anything else or was it

193
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 2: just what you knew and what you loved.

194
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 4: It's a very good question, and it's interesting because a

195
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 4: lot of people ask.

196
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: Me, you know, like, when you're not doing wildlife work,

197
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: what are you doing. It always takes me a minute

198
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: because I'm like, well, just wildlife.

199
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 4: Work, because that's everything, this is all we do.

200
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,839
Speaker 1: Because it's I guess, not just our work. It's not

201
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:13,839
Speaker 1: just what we do, it's who we are. And so

202
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: for me, there really was never a question. It was

203
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: just this path that I was determined that this was

204
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,559
Speaker 1: my reason for being, and I think it feels like

205
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: my calling in a way. We all live such remarkable

206
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: lives and our stories are constantly changing and evolving and growing,

207
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: and that's so special. And for some of us we

208
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: find what we want to do very early on in life,

209
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: and for others it takes a little bit longer, where

210
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: we're trying different things figuring out what we want to do,

211
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: and that's fantastic as well. Every new experience is so

212
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: important in your story. But for me, I think from

213
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: the moment I can remember, I've wanted to be like

214
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: my mom and dad. I remember as a little girl

215
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: just saying I want to be just like my dad.

216
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:07,679
Speaker 1: I want to be just like my mom and just

217
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: do this work forever. And so as I've grown up,

218
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,439
Speaker 1: it really wasn't a question of is this what I

219
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,599
Speaker 1: want to do, as much as how can I do

220
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: this bigger and better and make.

221
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 4: More of a difference.

222
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: And my parents were really wonderful. They made sure that

223
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 1: myself and my brother we were there for the adventure

224
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: right alongside them. And a lot of our conservation work

225
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 1: has been so uplifting and powerful and special and happy,

226
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: and some of it is also difficult and challenging and

227
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 1: filled with sadness as well. You know, we run a

228
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: wildlife hospital, we have conservation work around the world, helping

229
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:59,959
Speaker 1: animals against poaching and some really real and devastating things

230
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 1: that go on. We've been to places around the world

231
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: that are not as fortunate as we are here in Australia,

232
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: where you know, safety is hard to come by, and

233
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: experiencing these things has really taken me outside of my

234
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 1: own bubble and I am so grateful that my parents

235
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: never shielded me from these things. They were like, we

236
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:27,439
Speaker 1: want you to experience the world and experience what is

237
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: happening on the planet so that you can make your

238
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:34,199
Speaker 1: own choices on how you want to live, how you

239
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 1: want to affect positive change within your own life. And

240
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,079
Speaker 1: they were so kind where they never expected us to

241
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,319
Speaker 1: do anything. They weren't like, this is what you have

242
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: to do. They just wanted us to see their work

243
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,839
Speaker 1: and kind of make that decision for ourselves. What we

244
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 1: wanted our legacy to be And so after experiencing so much,

245
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 1: both the good and the difficult, I feel like life

246
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: is so much bigger than just self. It is about

247
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: making connections, building friendships, helping others in any way you can.

248
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: And so as I've gotten older, I feel like my

249
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: desire to make a difference has just expanded. And I

250
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: want to make sure that my parents' work continues on

251
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: into the future because they have always been so passionate.

252
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 1: My goodness, talk about two most passionate people on the planet,

253
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,959
Speaker 1: just so excited about their work and seeing their passion

254
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: it's contagious, Like I want to make sure that everything

255
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: they've worked so hard for continues on into the future,

256
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,679
Speaker 1: to make sure that what Dad lived and died for

257
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: carries on, and also in a way to make it

258
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: my own, so to affect positive change in as many

259
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,079
Speaker 1: way as I can from my own perspective and through

260
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: my own words and actions. So yeah, it's interesting where

261
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 1: I think it's always been, you know, full speed ahead

262
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: for me, and I've never questioned, like, hey, do I

263
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: want to be an astronaut, like you.

264
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 3: Know, you could be a cowgirl. It's still time, But yeah,

265
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 3: it's just been.

266
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 4: It's just been kind of what I was born to do.

267
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 2: I feel like, yeah, I think the word that you

268
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 2: used was contagious, And I truly believe that there's nothing

269
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 2: more motivating than listening to someone talk about something they

270
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 2: are excited about, even if you don't know what your

271
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 2: passion or purpose is. Yet nothing motivates you more to

272
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 2: find it than to watch someone's eyes light up when

273
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 2: they speak about something that they feel like they were

274
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 2: born to do. And for so many of us, as

275
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 2: you mentioned, that does take a couple of tries or

276
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 2: sometimes a couple of decades to find. It's just that

277
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 2: you happened to realize it earlier than most. But one

278
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 2: of the things that I think is truly extraordinary about

279
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 2: you is that a lot of us do come to

280
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 2: where you are to adulthood and clarity of purpose and dedication,

281
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 2: and you're so well adjusted in your perspective on everything.

282
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 2: Most of us go through a pretty messy teenagehood or

283
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 2: early twenties in the middle, and yet you've grown up

284
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 2: in the spotlight and seem to have just been a

285
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 2: really good person the whole way through. And I don't

286
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 2: know how, because that is an extraordinary amount of pressure

287
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 2: and scrutiny, and also the logistics. So I'd love to

288
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 2: ask you about the parts we maybe didn't see.

289
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 3: We might have seen you doing the.

290
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 2: Work, but not homeschooling and living in the zoo and

291
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 2: even getting your own shows and starting to write a book.

292
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 2: Like along the way, all the dots are connecting. But

293
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 2: how were you making decisions and what was the process

294
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 2: like to get to now? I mean that's a huge question,

295
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 2: but you have done so many things. As you said,

296
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 2: you wanted to make your legacy your own. How have

297
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 2: you done that? What have been the pivotal decisions and

298
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 2: the logistics behind the scenes.

299
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's been a very big journey.

300
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: And I always say I feel like I've lived ten

301
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: lives in one lifetime, which is really really fun and also,

302
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: oh it's tiring, but it's good.

303
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 4: It's good. Yeah.

304
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: I think that for me, having such a strong family

305
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 1: unit has been the center of my universe. So I

306
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 1: think that, you know, we've always been a really strong family.

307
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: You know, we've always been there for each other and

308
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: had each other's backs and been very close. But after

309
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: Dad died, I feel like our little family unit came

310
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: together even more.

311
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 2: And for me.

312
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: After Dad passed away, I really struggled with separation anxiety.

313
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: So like, even if my mum was just going to

314
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 1: do something in the office and you know, it was

315
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: ten steps away from me, I would get really anxious.

316
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 1: Or if you know, my brother was going for like

317
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: a sports carnival or something, I would get really anxious

318
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: because I just I worried so much. My dad was

319
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: the strongest person in my life and he still is.

320
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: He was the strongest person I've ever known, and so

321
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 1: to have him taken away from us so early, it

322
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 1: was very anxiety inducing because I wanted to protect my

323
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 1: family and I wanted us to be safe. And so

324
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 1: my mum, being the remarkable woman that she is, spent

325
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 1: her whole time making sure that Robert and I felt

326
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: safe and felt loved and knew that you know, we

327
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 1: were always together, and that's why we started doing so

328
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 1: much together, because I wanted our little family unit to

329
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,360
Speaker 1: be this glue in my life. And I think because

330
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: of that, it has helped me so much on my journey.

331
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: Having this strong base, this home foundation that you can

332
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 1: return to no matter what I think, that is that

333
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: is what has kept me going more than anything. My

334
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 1: anxiety has definitely gotten better as I've gotten older. You know,

335
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 1: it changes, green changes, right, So grief changes in the

336
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,199
Speaker 1: way you view it in its form. And so as

337
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: I've gotten older, I'm able to go. You know, the

338
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: people that we love are always with us, and love

339
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: never dies, and so I feel like Dad is still

340
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 1: with us and still a part of our lives, which

341
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: is really special. My daughter Grace, she always says, Grandpa

342
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 1: Crocodile is my guardian angel, and she tells everyone that

343
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: and it's so cute. It was actually my dad's I'm

344
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 1: gonna get a motion shot. It was my dad's birthday

345
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 1: not that long ago. She always says that Grandpa Crocodile

346
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 1: is in her soul.

347
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 4: And so she sung.

348
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,239
Speaker 1: She had her little shirt on and she put her

349
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:40,959
Speaker 1: head in her shirt, and I was like, what are

350
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 1: you doing. And she's like, oh, I'm going to sing

351
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 1: Happy birthday to Grandpa Crocodile. And she's sang Happy Birthday

352
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 1: in her shirt because she's like, he's in my soul.

353
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 1: And so yeah, I just I just I died. I

354
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 1: was like, this is the sweetest thing ever. So I

355
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 1: think having that foundation and that family where we are

356
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 1: so cl loose has been the most remarkable thing like

357
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 1: that has changed my perspective on everything, because as long

358
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 1: as you have people in your life who will love

359
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: you unconditionally, who will be there for you no matter what,

360
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 1: everything's going to be okay, everything is work outable. So

361
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: throughout my journey, you know, with trying new projects and

362
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 1: doing different things, and it's been busy, and you know,

363
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 1: obviously being in the public eye, you do face a

364
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:33,159
Speaker 1: lot of scrutiny. You do face a lot of challenges

365
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: of tuning out negativity, which is often difficult. But for me,

366
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: taking time with my family and making sure we're always

367
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 1: spending time together. We take time off where we have

368
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: conservation properties in the middle of nowhere, where you have

369
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 1: no internet. It's just absolutely in the middle of nowhere,

370
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: you have no outside influence. And so anytime things are

371
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 1: getting tough, we just go. We just go and spend

372
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 1: time as a and it's just us and we're away

373
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 1: from everything, and it's very grounding. And so I think

374
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: for me, I'm always telling people. You know, if there's

375
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 1: people in your life that you love and you cherish,

376
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: tell them, spend time with them, like don't wait for

377
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:19,439
Speaker 1: another day your most important part of life is spending

378
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:21,439
Speaker 1: time with the people that you love doing what you love.

379
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 1: So for us it's conservation work, and so the fact

380
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: that we get to share our mission, which is protecting

381
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 1: the planet and protecting wildlife, to be a family unit

382
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: doing this work is so lovely and so comforting that

383
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 1: that has been the glue.

384
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:41,479
Speaker 4: Of my life. I think, yeah, it is truly.

385
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 2: I mean, I've said the word extraordinary before. It just

386
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 2: doesn't quite cut it. To think of the grief you

387
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 2: faced so young and in front of the entire nation,

388
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 2: and then the weight of carrying on the legacy and

389
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 2: the way that you have with your family. I think

390
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 2: the Irwin family generally for us all your role models

391
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 2: for how to treat the planet and how to treat

392
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 2: wildlife around us and look after the environment. But more

393
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 2: than that, I think you really are the model of

394
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:16,920
Speaker 2: love and family and legacy. Your parents' love story is

395
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 2: the love everyone wants you, and Chandler is also the

396
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 2: love story we all want you, and Robert is the

397
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 2: sibling story that we all aspire to. Like your model

398
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 2: of family and loving each other, You've been under the

399
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 2: spotlight for so long that we all know it's genuine

400
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,400
Speaker 2: and it is as you said, it's so clear how

401
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 2: much you adore each other and adore your work and

402
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 2: do it together, and your love for Grace as well.

403
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 3: It's just the most beautiful thing to watch.

404
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 1: Thank you, Love, You're so kind. It's so lovely to

405
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 1: get to do what you love with the people that

406
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 1: you adore. And you know, I think grief is there's

407
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 1: many different sides to it, and losing someone that you

408
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: love so much is a heartache beyond description. But at

409
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 1: the same time, you get this choice where you can

410
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 1: say I'm out, I'm done, I'm going to curl up,

411
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,919
Speaker 1: I'm going to walk away, or you can put another

412
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: foot down, keep stepping in the right direction and pick

413
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 1: yourself up and decide to find happiness wherever you can.

414
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 1: And you know, after losing Dad, it was originally we

415
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: would talk about our favorite part of the day because

416
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,160
Speaker 1: my mom was like, we're going to focus on being

417
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 1: happy every day, and some days it's okay to be sad,

418
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,159
Speaker 1: but you still have to find something that's going to

419
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: bring you joy. And so sometimes we'd be like, my

420
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: shower was really nice and warm, and that was the

421
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: thing that made us happy because we were all so sad,

422
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: and then you know, as we continued to practice it,

423
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 1: it was finding more things that brought us joy and

424
00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 1: finding ways to look for light in even the darkest

425
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:05,879
Speaker 1: of times is so important. And yeah, for our family,

426
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 1: it did bring us closer together. And people often say like,

427
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 1: are you guys really do you really like.

428
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 4: Each other that much? Like surely this season real.

429
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 1: Like surely you somehow secretly hate each other. And I'm like, no, really,

430
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: we actually love each other. But I always say, like,

431
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 1: it's so difficult when you spend your day at the

432
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 1: Wildlife Hospital and you're watching animals on death's door come through,

433
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,120
Speaker 1: and our team works tirelessly to give them a second

434
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: chance at life, you know, and we get thousands of injured, sick,

435
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,360
Speaker 1: often animals coming through the doors, Animals that have been

436
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 1: hurt because of humans. You know, it's devastating, animals that

437
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 1: have been shot or poisoned or so many stories. When

438
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 1: you spend the day there and then you come home,

439
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: it's like, well, does it really matter if someone forgot

440
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: to unload the dishwasher?

441
00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 4: Does it really matter?

442
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: You know, that perspective, it makes such a difference where

443
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:07,640
Speaker 1: it's so hard to argue and fight and be unhappy

444
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: amongst yourselves when you're like this doesn't matter, like there's

445
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 1: so much else going on in the world. And also,

446
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: you know, after dad died, you realize that time is

447
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 1: very fleeting, Like we have this you know, minuscule amount

448
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 1: of time where we are able to just do what

449
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:26,880
Speaker 1: we love with the people that we love. You take

450
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 1: advantage of that, like only surround yourself with people who

451
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 1: you genuinely love and then tell them and then don't

452
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,120
Speaker 1: be mad, Like if the toilet seat.

453
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 4: Gets left out, don't be mad. It's fine. Life it's short.

454
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 1: So yeah, you're right, it's that perspective. It changes everything. So, yes,

455
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: we really love each other. And you know, as kids,

456
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,159
Speaker 1: my brother and I thought about, you know, what was

457
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: the heaviest animal. He was a paleontologist as a kid,

458
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 1: so he was like, as a kid, this is the

459
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 1: longest dinosaur or whatever, and I'm like, ah, yeah. So anyway,

460
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 1: we had all of those fun sibling moments. But at

461
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 1: the end of the day, yeah, life is just so

462
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 1: short where I'm like, I just love you. I could

463
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,880
Speaker 1: never actually fight with you in any scenario.

464
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 2: I think for anyone that reminder that yes, everything is

465
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 2: relative and you're allowed to feel your emotions and what

466
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:23,400
Speaker 2: we all go through in our day.

467
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 3: To day is valid.

468
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 2: But at the same time, I always try and do

469
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 2: the zoom out test, and instead of just the micro

470
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 2: of like what I feel right now, if you zoom

471
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 2: out and look at the macro context, it almost always

472
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 2: is going to make you feel better. Almost always will

473
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 2: like snap your head back in and think, Okay, yes,

474
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 2: I'm allowed to have emotions and the full spectrum of emotions,

475
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 2: but contextualize them and realize that helps you get through

476
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 2: it to sometimes realize it's not in the scheme of

477
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 2: life worth more minutes of joy. Every minute that you're

478
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 2: angry costs you minutes where you could have been happy

479
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 2: and enjoying those pressure seconds that we have. So I

480
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 2: think you're such a strong example of perspective and its power.

481
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 2: But I love that.

482
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 3: I'm going to use that.

483
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 4: I'm going to zoom out. I love I love that.

484
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 4: That's so good. I'm going to tell that to I

485
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:15,400
Speaker 4: didn't she's no, I like it though.

486
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna because Grace, our daughter, she's four, she's almost five,

487
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 1: and you know, emotion, it rules everything, and sometimes she's like,

488
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 1: I just don't want to be sad, Like I'm sad

489
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 1: and I don't know why. I'm like, well, firstly, like

490
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 1: you say, it's okay to be sad, you know, whether

491
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 1: you've skinned jo knee or drop your ice cream.

492
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 3: Or some days just having a sad day.

493
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 4: But I'm like, that's okay. But I like the zoom out.

494
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: Let's find things that make us happy, and yeah, deal

495
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:42,120
Speaker 1: with those big emotions in that perspective. But someone once

496
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 1: said that every emotion is an inward emotion, and I

497
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 1: love that because the next time someone is yelling in

498
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 1: their car, or you know, having a bad day at

499
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 1: the grocery store or whatever, their feelings of anger or unhappiness,

500
00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:00,119
Speaker 1: they are an inward emotion, so you shouldn't take that

501
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: on board like someone else's frustration or whatever.

502
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,879
Speaker 4: You can't take that on board because their emotion is inward.

503
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: And I love that because why would I want to

504
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 1: be angry or frustrated or anything when that emotion is

505
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 1: going to stay with me and carry with me and

506
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:17,880
Speaker 1: be reflected onto my soul and my heart.

507
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 4: So of course, any chance I get, I'm going to

508
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 4: choose joy. I'm going to choose happiness, even if life

509
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:26,639
Speaker 4: is hard, like there's some really hard days.

510
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,159
Speaker 1: I'm still going to try to find that because that

511
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:31,400
Speaker 1: emotion is going to stay with me. So it's really interesting.

512
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 3: I love that perspective so much.

513
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 2: And I've heard you speak about that also in relation

514
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 2: to bullying and trolling and the inevitable negative side of

515
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 2: growing up in the public eye, that even if it's

516
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 2: so unwarranted and invalid and irrelevant, and even if you

517
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,679
Speaker 2: can be logical about keyboard warriors and jealousy and all

518
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:54,119
Speaker 2: those things, humans are humans. Of course, it's going to

519
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 2: be a tough thing to face, especially as a young person,

520
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 2: and especially as young and as long as you have

521
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 2: faced this, You've been in this industry for such a

522
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 2: long time. I've heard you say that because you have

523
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:10,200
Speaker 2: perspective with the animal hospital and the bigger things that

524
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 2: are going on in the universe, it's been not easy

525
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 2: to navigate, but easier. Do you ever having become a

526
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 2: mum and now seeing Grace sort of in a similar situation,

527
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 2: growing up doing the same work also in the spotlight,

528
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 2: has it been healing or strange in a way to

529
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 2: sort of see little Bindi in Grace, And I find

530
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 2: I have so much compassion for my younger self and

531
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 2: for my parents as a mum, because I can see

532
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 2: things with this clarity I didn't have when I was

533
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 2: the child, and now I'm the mom. I'm like, wow, Like,

534
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 2: do you look back and think about little you and

535
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 2: go look at all the stuff I navigated at Grace's

536
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 2: age and she's tiny?

537
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely, yes, And I think, you know, having a child,

538
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 1: it is the gift of healing parts of you that you.

539
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,719
Speaker 4: Didn't know needed to be healed.

540
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 1: And I think having Grace, you know, she always says,

541
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,959
Speaker 1: I'm your mini, I'm mini Mama. I'm The other day

542
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 1: she dressed up and she's like, look, I'm Bindy.

543
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 3: It was so cute.

544
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 1: So she had me put her hair and pigtails and

545
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 1: she had the little khakis on and she's like, I'm Bindy,

546
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 1: which is so hute, and I do. I just look

547
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 1: at her, and I think this is so healing for me,

548
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 1: because you know, I watch this beautiful human filled with

549
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 1: so much joy and wonder for the world, and I

550
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,719
Speaker 1: want to protect her from everything. I want to make

551
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 1: sure that she is protected in this wild world that

552
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 1: we live in. But I think that having her my

553
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 1: perspective on so much has changed where I don't have

554
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 1: time for negativity, you know, So seriously, my best advice

555
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 1: to people, and I know it's hard to do, but

556
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: my best advice is don't read it, Like seriously, don't

557
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:04,479
Speaker 1: read the comments. Like if you have a post up

558
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 1: and you know someone's commenting something negative, have someone that

559
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:10,959
Speaker 1: you trust, go through and delete them or block them

560
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 1: or you do you, but don't you read them. Love it,

561
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 1: don't touch that, don't let that enter your life or

562
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 1: your mind, or.

563
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:20,959
Speaker 4: It doesn't exist.

564
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 1: Because this whole digital world, it's so important for sharing

565
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 1: a message and for sharing joy, and that's where it ends.

566
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 1: This does not rule your life. This should not rule

567
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 1: your decisions. You are the decision maker on your life,

568
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:41,719
Speaker 1: and you are the one doing what's best for your family,

569
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 1: for yourself, you know, for your kids.

570
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 4: This is all just noise.

571
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 1: So like, have whoever you trust, go through, delete and

572
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 1: block as many people as you need, and just focus

573
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: on the kindness and the love.

574
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 3: And that's it.

575
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 1: And I know, I know it sounds hard, and I

576
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 1: know it's pretty like it's pretty hard, but that's what

577
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 1: I do. Like, seriously, I don't have time for the negativity,

578
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 1: so I just do not buy into it, and I

579
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 1: hope I'm able to do the same for Grace. I mean, Grace,

580
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 1: my gosh, she's not gonna have any social media. She's

581
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 1: like eighteen. If she wants it, I'm gonna be like, no,

582
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 1: I love you, but no until you're ready. And if

583
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 1: she does want to go down this path, if she

584
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 1: would like to be in the public eye, if she

585
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 1: would like to have social media, that's completely gonna be

586
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,719
Speaker 1: her decision one day, and that's completely up to her.

587
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 1: But I'm going to make sure she knows that you

588
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: don't have to hear it, you don't have to look

589
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 1: at it, and you don't have to feel it because

590
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 1: you're a wonderful person doing the best you can. My

591
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 1: mom always says, I give you permission. It's the best

592
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 1: advice I've ever gotten. Joey says, I give you permission

593
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 1: for and then you fill in the blank, like, if

594
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 1: you're having a hard day, I give you permission to

595
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 1: go sit down and have a cup of tea. If

596
00:31:56,600 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 1: you need whatever it is something in your life, you

597
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 1: need to do it for your family, for yourself. She's like,

598
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 1: I want your inner dialogue to be I give myself

599
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 1: permission and I love my mom has said that for

600
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 1: so many years, and I love that so much. It's

601
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 1: the best advice ever. To have somebody out loud say hey,

602
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 1: I give you permission, and you should give yourself permission

603
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 1: to feel good, to do what you love, to do

604
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 1: what brings you joy and then make the right decisions

605
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 1: for yourself and your family is so.

606
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 4: Amazing and empowering.

607
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 1: So yeah, I give you permission to not listen to

608
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 1: any of those people and to just focus on the

609
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 1: joy and the positivity.

610
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 2: I actually have a massive crush on your mom, Like,

611
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 2: she's just the most amazing woman.

612
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 3: She's so right. Well, you all love her so much.

613
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 4: She would love you so much too, Seriously, she would

614
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 4: love you so much. She's a wonder woman. I love

615
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 4: my mom.

616
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 1: But yes, when you talk to her, she will probably

617
00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 1: say to you, I give you permission.

618
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 4: You do what you need to do. And it's the

619
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 4: best advice.

620
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 3: It's excellent advice.

621
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 2: I think the other thing is we forget that we

622
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 2: have control. It's like, you can't control that they will comment,

623
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 2: but you can control your environment, Like yep, if you

624
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 2: go looking for that kind of stuff knowing it's there,

625
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 2: it's like scratching.

626
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 3: A wound and being like, why isn't it healing? Yes, like,

627
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 3: just don't touch it, do not touch it.

628
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 4: Don't touch it.

629
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 1: And it's human nature, right, is human nature where we go, okay,

630
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:30,479
Speaker 1: we're going to focus on the negativity and there can

631
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 1: be like the most positive, wonderful things and then there's

632
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 1: just like one negative comment. Yeah you go, oh, I

633
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 1: have to pick at it, like you say, no, just

634
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 1: like seriously, I do it all the time. I'll have

635
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 1: my phone to someone and be like, can you please

636
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: go through this for me? And delete and block and then.

637
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 4: Sorry, and then I still get to see the lovely

638
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 4: things where I'm reading the lovely things and it's so nice.

639
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 4: And it's the same with you know media over the

640
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 4: years as well, like in the news and things.

641
00:33:58,200 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 3: If there's a.

642
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 1: Story that is made up, isn't true, isn't very nice, I'm.

643
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 4: Not going to read it. I'm not going to look

644
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,759
Speaker 4: at it. I'm like, that exists, but I don't need

645
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 4: to know about it.

646
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 2: It's actually, you know what I always come back to,

647
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 2: it's none of my business. It's actually not of my business.

648
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 4: How true is that?

649
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:18,840
Speaker 1: But also I'm going to keep doing the best that

650
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 1: I can, Because how is this going to change?

651
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:20,680

655
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 1: to be there for my daughter, there for my husband,

656
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 1: a person that my family can depend on. If I'm

657
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 1: working as hard as I can in my job to

658
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 1: affect positive change, what else is there to do?

659
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 4: You know? Like this, that's it.

00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 2: every day and being president in every facet of your life,

672
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:21,320
Speaker 2: and I do want to ask about the day to

673
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:23,880
Speaker 2: day because I think we do see you at the

674
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 2: macro level, but we don't know what you actually do

675
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:28,719
Speaker 2: day to day. So that's that's the next question. But

676
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 2: before we get there, speaking of the positive comments and

677
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,120

Speaker 2: like the cover of every magazine abs out as a

686
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 2: big sister.

00:37:57,160 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 1: live vicariously through my brother because he's just so good

00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 1: at saying.

724
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 4: He doesn't have that. Maybe it's just me.

725
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 1: I'm sure, some people feel it as well, but with

726

Speaker 1: new things, I'm always like, you know, cautious and careful.

727

Speaker 2: they have the freemly just be like sure, I'm like older.

732
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 3: Sids have to think and reflect and be responsible.

733
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,319
Speaker 4: Yes, did you ever see that video that was going

734
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:31,879
Speaker 4: around social media? It was viral.

735
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 1: It was like, if I try something for the first

736
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,320
Speaker 1: time and it doesn't go my way, it's trash.

00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:39,959
Speaker 4: I'm trash. Everything is trash, and I'm never doing this again.

738
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 3: Life is over. Like I'm actually going to retire from

739
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 3: the universe. Yeah, I feel like that's.

740
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 4: The older sibling but also older system mentality.

741
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:53,759
Speaker 1: Yes, I'm trying really hard to be channel my brother

742
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 1: and be more like him, but you know, open to

743
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 1: new adventures, stop analyzing everything so much because he's just like,

744
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,359
Speaker 1: let's go boots and all. And it's amazing to watch

745
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:05,360
Speaker 1: him flourish. He you know, dancing with the stars, his

746
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:09,080

Speaker 1: It's so lovely to see him love what he does.

750
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:22,400
Speaker 1: And I think that's what makes him such a successful person,

751
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:24,840
Speaker 1: is because he's so true to himself and he just

752
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 1: lets who he is shine and there's something wonderful about that.

754
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:40,240
Speaker 1: and just he says, send it, and that's.

00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:39,319
Speaker 2: But I have to ask coming back to the way

777
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 2: that you're fulfilling your legacy. And I mean, right now,

778
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 2: we have the most beautiful animal sounds behind you because

779
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 2: you are at the zoo recording and I imagine that

780
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:52,319
Speaker 2: you spend a lot of your days there roberts off

781
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 2: doing bond shoots and dancing.

782
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 3: At the stars. What does your day to day look like?

783
00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:58,279
Speaker 3: And it's such a big question.

784
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:00,760
Speaker 2: I missed the chance to talk to you about managing

785
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 2: your endo among being a mum, among being a spokesperson,

786
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 2: among being an author and a media representative, like you're

787
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 2: doing so many different things. What is your day to

788
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:15,360
Speaker 2: day at the moment? How are you on the conservation pathway?

789
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:19,439
Speaker 2: And if I can slide in a tiny finisher question

790
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:22,359
Speaker 2: outside of that, what are you doing? Which comes back

791
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:24,480
Speaker 2: to what you said at the very beginning is there

792
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 2: anything that you do to get a bit of distance?

793
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 1: Just for joy I think I can answer all three

794
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:33,719
Speaker 1: questions kind of in one, because it's all interconnected in

795
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 1: our lives, our work, and you know, our personal lives

796
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:39,800
Speaker 1: is all just one big bundle. And I think for me, actually,

797
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 1: enomeytriosis that you touched on affected a lot of my

798
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 1: life for a very long time. So I wasn't diagnosed

799
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 1: with enemytriosis. It took about ten years to be diagnosed.

800
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:56,360
Speaker 1: And so from my teenage years into my early twenties,

801
00:41:56,600 --> 00:42:00,520
Speaker 1: I was extremely sick. I was in a very very

802
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 1: bad way. I've had two surgeries now. I had more

803
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:09,840
Speaker 1: than fifty lesions cut out of me. I had a

804
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 1: huge chocolate cyst that adhered my ovary to my side.

805
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 1: I had my appendix removed. I've had a hernia repaired. Yeah,

806
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:21,719
Speaker 1: it's been intense, and I think people don't understand how

807
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 1: much endometriosis affects every facet of your life because I

808
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:27,840
Speaker 1: was so sick. I mean now, looking back, after having

809
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 1: all of this done, now I realize why.

810
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 4: I was in such a bad way.

811
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:35,880
Speaker 1: So for a lot of my life, I was in

812
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 1: bed because you know, I would go for a walk

813
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:41,759
Speaker 1: and just vomit because I was in so much pain.

814
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:45,359
Speaker 1: And like a lot of people think that enemetriosis only

815
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 1: affects you on your period, and for a lot of women,

816
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:53,399
Speaker 1: it affects you constantly. I was in pain every single day,

817
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:55,320
Speaker 1: and then when I was on my period, it was

818
00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 1: I there's no way to describe it.

819
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 4: I wouldn't. Yeah, I know where to begin.

820
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:04,480
Speaker 1: It's very very uncomfortable, and it's something where it did

821
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:11,400
Speaker 1: affect my life and my work quite greatly because I

822
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:14,880
Speaker 1: was still trying to show up. But it causes nausea

823
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:17,360
Speaker 1: and fatigue and pain that's just out of this world,

824
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 1: and so sometimes showing up was very difficult. So I

825
00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:25,600
Speaker 1: poured as much energy as I could into my family

826
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 1: first and then our work, and then yeah, I think

827
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 1: a lot of people must have wondered why I had

828
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:33,719
Speaker 1: so many canceled plans, like so many things where I

829
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:36,919
Speaker 1: would be ready to embark on something and then would

830
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:38,880
Speaker 1: have to pull out because I just physically couldn't do it.

831
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:43,279
Speaker 1: So I think that my life for a while there

832
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:48,600
Speaker 1: was very, very different. And then finally getting answers after

833
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 1: so long was such a blessing because I knew what

834
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:54,399
Speaker 1: was happening to me? Because I went through so many

835
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:58,399
Speaker 1: doctor's appointments. I had every scan, every blood test, I mean,

836
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 1: CT scans, MRI, ultrasounds, blood works like you wouldn't believe.

837
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:03,480
Speaker 4: We were looking for.

838
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:07,960
Speaker 1: Anything tropical diseases like what is happening lime disease or

839
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 1: the things, and just couldn't figure it out. And it

840
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:12,840
Speaker 1: wasn't until I actually went in for my first surgery

841
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:15,839
Speaker 1: that they went given demetriosis. And after I got out

842
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:19,480
Speaker 1: of surgery, my surgeon said to me, it was so validating.

843
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 1: He said, how did you live with this much pain?

844
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:26,239
Speaker 1: How did you function? And after so many doctors had

845
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 1: said this is just hormones, this is part of being

846
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:31,279
Speaker 1: a woman, it was very validating to go, this is

847
00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:33,319
Speaker 1: someone telling me.

848
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:37,360
Speaker 4: That my pain was real. It's not it's not normal.

849
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:39,800
Speaker 4: And so my heart breaks because.

850
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:42,320
Speaker 1: There are so many girls and women who are affected

851
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 1: by this disease and a plethora of other terrible women's

852
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 1: health problems that have been overlooked, under researched. And I'm

853
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:55,839
Speaker 1: hoping that there is a change in our society now

854
00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 1: so that women are getting the help and girls are

855
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 1: getting the help that they the desperately deserve, because no

856
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 1: one should live in that much pain. No one should

857
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:08,279
Speaker 1: spend their days thinking that it's all in their head.

858
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:11,319
Speaker 1: I was getting so depressed because you know, doctors tell

859
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:13,879
Speaker 1: you you should meditate, you should have a cup of tea.

860
00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:16,080
Speaker 1: You should know that this is just part of being

861
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:18,360
Speaker 1: a woman. Like I actually had a doctor say to

862
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:20,719
Speaker 1: me you should try meditation and having a cup of

863
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:23,880
Speaker 1: tea at night, And I was like, when I stand,

864
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:26,840
Speaker 1: I pass out and vomit. This isn't a cup of

865
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 1: tea isn't going to fix this. So I think it's

866
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:34,719
Speaker 1: just believing believing people when they come in and say, hey,

867
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 1: I'm having a really hard time. Your go to should

868
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:40,920
Speaker 1: not be this is in your head. Your go to

869
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 1: should be, hey, we're going to figure this out together,

870
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:47,520
Speaker 1: and have you considered indemitis? So anyway, I'll I have

871
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 1: to get off the soapbox now. But in saying that,

872
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:53,440
Speaker 1: in saying that, my life has changed a lot now.

873
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:56,680
Speaker 1: So I'm feeling a lot better now, which is so exciting.

874
00:45:56,880 --> 00:46:00,360
Speaker 1: I feel more like myself than I have since I

875
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:04,200
Speaker 1: was a kid, and I am so so excited.

876
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 3: Oh that's so exciting.

877
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:10,319
Speaker 4: I'm so happy it just it brings me so much joy.

878
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:13,359
Speaker 1: I feel like since my last surgery, actually like they

879
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:15,840
Speaker 1: found a whole bunch of more lesions. I had my

880
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 1: appendix taken out, I got my honeier repair and I'm like.

881
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:21,080
Speaker 4: Oh, this is what it feels like to be alive.

882
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:23,239
Speaker 4: Like what is this, Channa said?

883
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:25,279
Speaker 1: Chanela said to me the other day, he was like,

884
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:28,440
Speaker 1: you look so just happy because I was sitting there

885
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 1: just like watching Grace play and just smiling and He's like,

886
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 1: You're just sitting there like grinning from ear to ear.

887
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:37,359
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, nothing hurts, Like I'm not in agonizing pain.

888
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:39,840
Speaker 4: This is just so exciting. So my life now is

889
00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 4: just so different where I am able to actually do

890
00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:48,360
Speaker 4: the work that I love in a more present capacity,

891
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:49,200
Speaker 4: if that makes sense.

892
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:51,680
Speaker 1: The pain isn't in the driver's seat anymore. I get

893
00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:54,240
Speaker 1: to be in the driver's seed of my life now finally.

894
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:57,360
Speaker 1: So I'm really excited and it's it's so nice. So

895
00:46:57,719 --> 00:47:00,640
Speaker 1: I'm the CEO of Australia Zoo, which is really wonderful.

896
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:04,800
Speaker 1: So it's very busy. Day to day is very busy.

897
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:09,879
Speaker 1: It's many emails, work calls, meetings going around Australia zoo,

898
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:13,719
Speaker 1: catching up on everything. It's so nice now being able

899
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:17,319
Speaker 1: to be so present. So you know, we actually live

900
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:19,719
Speaker 1: and work at Australia Zoo, which is lovely. So I

901
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:22,399
Speaker 1: kind of get up and go to work every day

902
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 1: and when I roll out of bed, I'm at work,

903
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:27,720
Speaker 1: so it's great, grab my car keys and off her goes.

904
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:30,719
Speaker 1: So now I'm able to really get Grace involved in

905
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:32,680
Speaker 1: so much of what we do as well, which is

906
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:37,720
Speaker 1: really exciting. So it's constant busyness where you know, running

907
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:41,840
Speaker 1: a zoo is epic. We also have our conservation projects

908
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:44,200
Speaker 1: around the world through Wildlife Warriors, so we have our

909
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:48,360
Speaker 1: Wildlife Hospital, we have conservation projects all over the planet

910
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:51,239
Speaker 1: helping many different species, so it's keeping on top of

911
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:53,360
Speaker 1: all of that and as you know, I'm sure like

912
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:56,399
Speaker 1: the running of a business or a few We also

913
00:47:56,440 --> 00:48:00,480
Speaker 1: have the Crocodile Hunter Lodge. Is a lot very busy,

914
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:02,880
Speaker 1: but we also have a remarkable team as well, so

915
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 1: we're kind of all in this together and it's really

916
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:08,920
Speaker 1: lovely because our family we're involved in everything.

917
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:11,239
Speaker 4: So it's really nice.

918
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:13,480
Speaker 1: Because we are a family business, we're able to be

919
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:16,879
Speaker 1: part of every single facet of running the zoo. Which

920
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:19,840
Speaker 1: is lovely and hopefully, you know, Grace can do whatever

921
00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:21,719
Speaker 1: she wants with her life. I'm going to love and

922
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:23,640
Speaker 1: support her no matter what she decides to do. But

923
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:26,720
Speaker 1: getting to bring her along to lots of different meetings

924
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:29,440
Speaker 1: and part of the decision making and having her there

925
00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:31,520
Speaker 1: for so much hopefully doing the same that what my

926
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:35,160
Speaker 1: parents did for us, which is giving us the opportunity

927
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:39,680
Speaker 1: to experience the world and experience more than just our

928
00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:41,320
Speaker 1: own bubble, is what I hope to be able to

929
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:41,799
Speaker 1: do for her.

930
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:43,120
Speaker 4: So it's really fun.

931
00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:45,399
Speaker 1: And then of course our filming work as well, which

932
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 1: is awesome. So we have many different projects on the

933
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:50,040
Speaker 1: boil with our filming work, which is great.

934
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:53,359
Speaker 4: We have a YouTube channel which is also really fun.

935
00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:55,160
Speaker 4: We created a little.

936
00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:57,080
Speaker 1: YouTube channel where we take people around Australia Zoo and

937
00:48:57,120 --> 00:48:58,759
Speaker 1: get to introduce you to all of our animals and

938
00:48:58,840 --> 00:49:00,480
Speaker 1: adventures and things to which is great.

939
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:02,560
Speaker 4: But yeah, it's we have to check it out. It's

940
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:06,520
Speaker 4: really great. It's just it's never held day and it's

941
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:07,240
Speaker 4: always different.

942
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:09,640
Speaker 1: Like when Robert was doing Dancing with the Stars, we

943
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:13,080
Speaker 1: went with him for the three months, which was epic.

944
00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:15,200
Speaker 1: So we all moved to the States for three months

945
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:17,600
Speaker 1: to help him out, because you know, it's a lot

946
00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:20,360
Speaker 1: and sometimes you just need people there to help you

947
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:22,760
Speaker 1: so that you have someone to help you grab dinner,

948
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:24,719
Speaker 1: or help you out with laundry, or be there to

949
00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:25,640
Speaker 1: say it's all going to.

950
00:49:25,640 --> 00:49:26,960
Speaker 4: Be okay, you're doing great.

951
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:29,920
Speaker 1: So we all move over with him to kind of

952
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:32,759
Speaker 1: help him out, you know. So it's our lives are

953
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:38,080
Speaker 1: definitely not normal and are constantly changing, but it feels

954
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:41,520
Speaker 1: like our normal and that's what's so lovely. So stay

955
00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:44,319
Speaker 1: today though we live at Australia Zoo, so you'll find

1002
00:52:00,239 --> 00:52:01,960
Speaker 2: I think we can all agree after listening to that,

1003
00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:04,480
Speaker 2: that some people really are just a special breed of

1004
00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:07,239
Speaker 2: human and Bindi is absolutely one of those. In fact,

1005
00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:09,800
Speaker 2: humanity generally is just so lucky to have the whole

1006
00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:14,360
Speaker 2: Irwin family and their passion and enthusiasm for conservation. I

1007
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:17,080
Speaker 2: personally find the most motivating thing to be listening to

1008
00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:19,560
Speaker 2: people who have found their purpose in life and just

1009
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:23,160
Speaker 2: thrown everything they have at that journey, and I feel

1010
00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:25,000
Speaker 2: like it gives us all hope that we can all

1011
00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:27,920
Speaker 2: find something that excites us that much about life. As

1012
00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:31,080
Speaker 2: I mentioned, her energy is infectious, and I personally took

1013
00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:35,240
Speaker 2: so much out of listening to this wise, passionate, poised

1014
00:52:35,280 --> 00:52:38,440
Speaker 2: young woman. I can't believe she's still so young. I

1015
00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:41,160
Speaker 2: can only imagine what she still has in store for

1016
00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:42,920
Speaker 2: us in the years ahead. And like I said, I

1017
00:52:42,920 --> 00:52:46,040
Speaker 2: think she makes just the most perfect guest for our

1018
00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:50,840

Speaker 3: That we do each year.

1020

Speaker 2: If you enjoyed listening, I'm sure you all know how

1021
00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:57,239
