1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,840 Speaker 1: Let your little light shine. And when you shine your light, 2 00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:06,800 Speaker 1: you then give permission for others to let their light shine. 3 00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:09,360 Speaker 1: And if we could all be who you are, be 4 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:11,680 Speaker 1: the best version of who you are, and come from 5 00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:15,160 Speaker 1: that heart space, in that essence of the beauty of 6 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,000 Speaker 1: you is the individual that you are.

I feel like I'm finally connecting 13 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:46,560 Speaker 1: with a special soul.

Miranda, Welcome to the podcast. 27 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 1: Welcome to On Purpose, and thank you for being here. 28 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 1: Thank you so much for having me. That was quite 29 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 1: an introduction. Well, you've had quite a life, so I 30 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:48,279 Speaker 1: think it's worth celebrating, and I think it's worth reminding people. 31 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: You seem like a very modest and humble soul, and 32 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,639 Speaker 1: so I think it's always wonderful to take a moment 33 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 1: to celebrate these incredible achievements because you know they do 34 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: matter in the sense of they matter because you've been 35 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 1: representing yourself, representing a community, representing what you believe in 36 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: through all your work. So I said it with energy 37 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 1: because I think it's phenomenal, and congratulations on all of it. Oh, 38 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,799 Speaker 1: thank you so much. I really feel like if you're 39 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,239 Speaker 1: going to do something, you have to put your whole 40 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 1: heart into it, and so I just love that about 41 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 1: you as well, and that's the way I've lived my life. 42 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,360 Speaker 1: And actually my mom taught me that as a young child, 43 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: and it's something that you know, I do every single 44 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: day no matter if I'm changing a diaper, I'm like 45 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: putting my whole heart into making sure that diaper is 46 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 1: perfectly clean and tidy and you know, fit the right way. 47 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 1: I'm a mother of three boys. So that's such a 48 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 1: good point though, because I think sometimes we think we 49 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 1: can put our all into the big things, but actually 50 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 1: it starts with putting you all into the small things. 51 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 1: How did your mother teach you that habit? I think 52 00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 1: that's a brilliant mindset already to start off with. How 53 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,079 Speaker 1: did she train that in you? And did she train 54 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: did you have siblings? And did she share that with everyone? Yeah, 55 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: my mom is such a strong, incredible woman, and she 56 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 1: really taught me from that young age, if you're going 57 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 1: to do something, put your whole heart into it, or 58 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: don't bother doing it. And that was with everything, whether 59 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 1: or not we were cleaning the car, whether or not 60 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: we were tidying our room, whether or not we were 61 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: doing our homework, whether or not like I had just 62 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: started a job, She's like just if you're going to 63 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: do it, just put your own into it, or don't 64 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: do it at all. And like, I hear that in 65 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 1: my head every day. If I feel like, you know, 66 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: maybe like cutting a corner a little bit, like oh, 67 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 1: I don't have time to properly rinse the dishes before 68 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 1: I put them in the dishwasher. Do simple little things 69 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: like that, I'm like, oh, that comes in my head. 70 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: Or if I'm whatever I'm doing with when I'm you know, 71 00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: creating a new product for my skincare line, Cora Organic, 72 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: or if I'm writing an interview, I mean, you know, 73 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 1: like writing a response to an interview. Whatever I'm doing, 74 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 1: I really think about that and really put my whole 75 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: heart into it. And that's honestly why I believe my 76 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 1: products are getting such incredible results for people's skin, because 77 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: I really give it my all, like my whole heart, 78 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:26,479 Speaker 1: in like a whole three sixty approach to everything that 79 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 1: I'm doing. I love that mindset. And I think, you know, 80 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 1: people know you as the founder and CEO of Core 81 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 1: Organics and the creator and your modeling career, but I 82 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 1: think something that a lot of people don't know is 83 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 1: you actually studied nutrition and health psychology before you became 84 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 1: a model, and I wanted to understand a bit more 85 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: about that journey because to me, that shows that your 86 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 1: journey with your business today it actually started a very 87 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: long time ago with this passion in this desire to 88 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:58,480 Speaker 1: learn about nutrition and health psychology. Can you talk about 89 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: what you learned at that time, which you I think 90 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 1: it's been relevant to today. I just personally feel like 91 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: for me, I'm the type of person that wants to 92 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: be learning until the day die. Like I just feel 93 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,479 Speaker 1: like there's so much to learn out there, and I'm 94 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 1: super passionate about health and wellness and psychology and how 95 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: the mind, body and spirit is all interconnected. So I 96 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 1: studied in Australia a course via correspondence, and then I 97 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: studied another course an integrative nutrition and graduated in twenty 98 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 1: and ten. And that course was based out of New York. 99 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: And I recently just did another course through Coursera that 100 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: Stanford was offering, and I really enjoyed that as well, 101 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: and I just, like I said, it's something that I'm 102 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 1: passionate about and it feeds my soul because I know, 103 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: like I just get a lot out of that information, 104 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: like whether it be anything from like you know, the 105 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 1: nutrient content of something to the way that you perceived 106 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:12,160 Speaker 1: something can then you know, shift your whole like you 107 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 1: have the choice to see something in a certain way, 108 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: or you have it's you know, see something in a 109 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,279 Speaker 1: positive light or a negative light or in a neutral light, 110 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 1: and that can affect your whole day. And so these 111 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 1: type of things like really interest me and I just 112 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 1: find just looking at things that way really appealing. Yeah. Absolutely, 113 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 1: What would you say, is the most recent thing you've 114 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,359 Speaker 1: learned about the mind, body, or spirit or something that 115 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 1: you've come across that you're just like, Wow, I didn't 116 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,679 Speaker 1: know this and I didn't realize this, or it's changed 117 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 1: a habit in you. Has there's been something recently that 118 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 1: you've learned from a course or a book or a 119 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: podcast or anything else that stands out at all. Well, 120 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: something that I've learned because i grew up in a 121 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 1: little country town and I've learned so many things obviously 122 00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: along the way, and I've started with an interest and 123 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: a passion and nutrition, and I just thought and then 124 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: I've done all of these courses and whatnot, and I 125 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: always felt like I was, you know, just a very healthy, 126 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 1: health conscious person. But I've often encouraged that balance of 127 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 1: like eighty twenty, like eighty percent super healthy and conscious 128 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: and twenty percent having a little bit more flexibility with 129 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: yourself and enjoying that moment if you want to, you know, 130 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 1: have a piece of cake with your friend, Like just 131 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: really enjoy that moment and don't be sitting alone eating 132 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 1: a salad and being unhappy. It's better to enjoy that 133 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 1: moment with your friend and whatnot. But one thing that 134 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: recently I've been learning more and more about, and it 135 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 1: sounds so simple, but and it's something that you know 136 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 1: for so long, I didn't fully understand until recently. It's 137 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: just that works for me is just predominantly being more 138 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: plant based and trying to get a lot of my 139 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: vitamins and minerals directly from the food that I eat, 140 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: as opposed to rely on as heavily on supplements. And 141 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: like everyone kind of knows that, but I've learned it 142 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 1: even more in these last couple of years, and I've 143 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: noticed a big difference with my own digestion and whatnot 144 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: from incorporating like predominantly plants. It's not like vegan or vegetarian. 145 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: It's more like plant based, so lots of fresh vegetables 146 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: and fruits. I do my celery juice in the morning. 147 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 1: That's been a game changer for me. I don't know, 148 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: do you do the celery Yeah, we're on the I 149 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 1: mean everything you just said I'm so aligned with because 150 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,560 Speaker 1: my wife and I are plant based, and we would 151 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 1: define in the same way. We also try and eat 152 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 1: as few unprocessed and unpackaged goods, so we try not 153 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 1: to eat things out of a box as much as 154 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 1: we can, or we avoid having package in our home. 155 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: And the medical medium was the person who introduced me 156 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 1: to celery juice when he came on the podcast a 157 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 1: few years back. And so I started taking celery juice 158 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 1: and that has helped my gut more than anything in 159 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 1: the world that I've tried. And so I'm completely aligned 160 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 1: with you, and that's why we're going to get along 161 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 1: even better because everything you just said, I'm like, yes, 162 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,200 Speaker 1: I fully have drank the kool aid and believe in 163 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 1: it too. Yeah, I mean I thought I was super healthy, 164 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 1: and I was super healthy, you know, but at the 165 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 1: same time, I took my head my health to the 166 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 1: next level by incorporating more of a plant based diet, 167 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 1: although I'm not like one hundred percent there because my 168 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 1: husband is not plant based, like he really enjoys to 169 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,560 Speaker 1: you know, like he enjoys when I make him this 170 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 1: rose chicken, then he really likes which is like this 171 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 1: tumor ey chicken. And so sometimes I'll take a bite 172 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 1: of that, I have to check to make sure it 173 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: tastes perfect. And so I'm not like super super like strict, 174 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 1: but I do notice a huge difference in my energy 175 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 1: levels and focus when I'm predominantly eating that way, and 176 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 1: there are a lot of studies to back that up 177 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,320 Speaker 1: in science, and even the course that I was doing 178 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 1: through Stanfard was saying that like, predominantly we should be 179 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 1: eating more plant based, less processed, less red meat because 180 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 1: I mean any meat really in general. And it's also 181 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 1: obviously better for the environment as well. And I've just 182 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 1: noticed the personal like health benefits from doing so. And 183 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:38,720 Speaker 1: Anthony got me onto doing the celery juice, which I 184 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 1: have like thirty two ounces every morning celery juice. Well, 185 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 1: I have water with one lemon to start off with, 186 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 1: and then I do the celery juice, and then I 187 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 1: do the heavy metal detox smoothie, which is great because 188 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:58,319 Speaker 1: you have in their barley grass spillina in the powder form, 189 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 1: you have the blueberries, banana fresh orange juice, and the 190 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 1: seaweeds the dolls, so you're getting like so many vitamins 191 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 1: and minerals that way. That's incredible. Can you tell me 192 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 1: about the last one and tell me about what that's 193 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 1: specifically doing for those that don't know. I think people 194 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 1: have heard us speak about celery juice before. They've heard 195 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 1: us speak about some plant based diets, but especially that 196 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: last one when you talk about the metal did yeah, 197 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 1: could you speak a bit about that. So that Anthony 198 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:37,200 Speaker 1: has put together like the specific shake smoothie which is 199 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 1: kind of easy to make, and actually I make it 200 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 1: for the whole family. The kids love it. It has 201 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 1: those ingredients which I mentioned, and those ingredients help to 202 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 1: pull out oh and it has cilantro in there too 203 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 1: to help draw out any heavy metals that might be 204 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,199 Speaker 1: in our bodies, and it kind of in a natural 205 00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 1: way because the cilantro helps draw out that. And then 206 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 1: you're getting so many minerals from the dolls, and you're 207 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 1: getting the protein from the spillina and the barley grass powder, 208 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 1: and then you've got all the antioxidants from the blueberries 209 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 1: and then the wild blueberries, and then the vitamin C 210 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 1: with the orange juice, and the potassium with a banana. 211 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 1: I mean, I really just love it. Yeah, I can't 212 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 1: wait to try that one. That's when I haven't tried yet. 213 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 1: So I was asking for myself too, where I'm definitely 214 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 1: going to try that one out. So I love I 215 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 1: love that tip because it's amazing. Isn't it that all 216 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:45,559 Speaker 1: these natural accessible items of food can be so powerful 217 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 1: for our mind and body and even shift our energy. 218 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 1: I found when I made these shifts in instead of 219 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 1: reaching for a sugary soda drink to reaching for a 220 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 1: celery juice. So when I made the shift of switching 221 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 1: to a natural protein drink, which is what I have everyday, 222 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:05,080 Speaker 1: a natural protein shake as opposed to even a powdered one, Like, 223 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 1: so many great benefits are there. I wonder you said 224 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 1: that your mother obviously taught you all these mindsets. What 225 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 1: are some of the mindsets lessons or health and wellness 226 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 1: tips you're sharing with your kids to try and help them. 227 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 1: Could you walk us through that process of how you're 228 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 1: passing that on Like your mother taught you so many 229 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 1: beautiful insights. Yeah. One other thing that my mother taught 230 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 1: me as well as a young child was let your 231 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:33,679 Speaker 1: little light shine. And there's that speech that Maryanne Williamson 232 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 1: wrote about shining your light, and when you shine your light, 233 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 1: you then give permission for others to let their light shine. 234 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 1: And if we could all shine our light, I mean 235 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 1: and when I say shine the light, it's more like, 236 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,960 Speaker 1: be who you are, Be the best version of who 237 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,080 Speaker 1: you are, and come from that heart space and that 238 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: essence of the beauty of you is the individual that 239 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,600 Speaker 1: you are. And so I tried to encourage that within 240 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 1: my children. I tried to cultivate their own individuality and 241 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 1: the three I have three boys, and they're all so different, 242 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:14,440 Speaker 1: and that's what makes the world so magic, like the 243 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 1: individual personalities and what everyone can bring to the table. 244 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: It's so interesting. My eleven year old is a true artist, 245 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 1: and he's very sensitive and empathetic, and he also is 246 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 1: a peacemaker. The amount of times that I've had feedback 247 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 1: from other parents that my son has been the one 248 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 1: to help you make peace between two people that were 249 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 1: having challenges at school, or if someone was getting bullied, 250 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 1: he'd be the one to stand in and say listen, 251 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 1: that's not okay. So he has that quality of like 252 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 1: being that little peacemaker helping to create that harmony within 253 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 1: his space. And then what really makes him shine and 254 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 1: thrives when he could sit down and express himself through art, 255 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 1: you know. And then my little three year old, he 256 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 1: just loves anything with engines, like cars, and he's like 257 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 1: a real boy boy, and he just loves and is 258 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 1: so fascinated with engines, whether it be a car or 259 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 1: aeroplane or a boat or you know, anything like that. 260 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:31,120 Speaker 1: And he's very focused on what he wants to do 261 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 1: and where he wants to go, whereas my first child 262 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 1: is a little more flexible and just harmonious. And it's 263 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 1: just and it's incredible for me as a parent to 264 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 1: help cultivate these individual like passions, you know. And then 265 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 1: with my eleven year old, he really loves soccer, so 266 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 1: I'm like, I encourage him to do that what he 267 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 1: really loves. And and my three year old he really 268 00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 1: loves swimming. And then the baby, the two year old, 269 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 1: he's very much into balls, anything that's like a ball, 270 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 1: So we cultivate that. And these are just little examples 271 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 1: of just how to cultivate that passion that's naturally within 272 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: them from a young age, and not project what you 273 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 1: want them to be onto them, and work with them 274 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 1: so they can be the best versions of themselves. And 275 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 1: it's really fun being apparent and having the opportunity to 276 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 1: help cultivate that and in a loving way and in 277 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 1: a way of like, because they are three boys, they 278 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 1: can sometimes, you know, especially the two and three year old. 279 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 1: They're sixteen months apart, so they can sometimes just like 280 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 1: have this little rough and tumble moment, and I'm like, boys, 281 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 1: let's take a breath. Let's make peace, because I really 282 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 1: want to cultivate that peacemaking. I forgive you, Please forgive me. 283 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 1: Let's forgive each other. Let's make peace, and let's be 284 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 1: grateful for each other. Let's be greatful that we have 285 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:04,679 Speaker 1: each other, that you have a brother, and you know 286 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 1: that you have two brothers, and that we're all here 287 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 1: together and we have our health, and like, let's get 288 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,359 Speaker 1: on with the rest of the day. And like they're 289 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 1: like okay, and it's like I forgive you, and then 290 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,399 Speaker 1: I make the other one say please forgive me, and 291 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 1: let's make peace. Yeah, And I do the same with 292 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,879 Speaker 1: my eleven year old, so little things like that. I 293 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 1: also we do yoga together. I've done like Mummy and 294 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,879 Speaker 1: me yoga with each of them, and there's also this 295 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,679 Speaker 1: other program called Cosmic Yoga that I put on for 296 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 1: the little ones just to kind of help them get 297 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 1: into that moment. I put on a little meditation and 298 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:48,240 Speaker 1: Carmi music at night, and we say our prayers before 299 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,399 Speaker 1: bed and just having that. I try to cultivate that 300 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 1: attitude of gratitude with my children because that, to me, 301 00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:01,119 Speaker 1: is something that's really important, Like fee is a precious gift, 302 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:06,399 Speaker 1: and we should be really grateful for every breath and 303 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 1: every moment that we have together. And I really really 304 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 1: want to instill that within our children because if you 305 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 1: don't have that gratitude and start from that place of gratitude, 306 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 1: then it just feels to me like you're not coming 307 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 1: from that loving space and it you know, it's the 308 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:37,680 Speaker 1: most important thing is to have that loving foundation. Yeah. Absolutely, 309 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,880 Speaker 1: that sounds so wonderful and beautiful, by the way. That's 310 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:43,399 Speaker 1: so inspiring. And what I love about what you shared 311 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 1: is that it sounds like you've created lots of experiences 312 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 1: with your children where you're all learning together and you're 313 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 1: growing together. And it's not just I'm spending time with them, 314 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 1: because I think we often feel like it's just about 315 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 1: time and quality time, but it actually seems like you've 316 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 1: built rituals and practices and meditations and prayers and experiences 317 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 1: together which allows you to form such a deeper bond 318 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,639 Speaker 1: with them. I wonder, Miranda, you know, I'm asking this 319 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:13,920 Speaker 1: because I know so many of our community and our 320 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 1: audience are mothers, their wives, their fathers, their husbands, their partners. 321 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 1: They are CEOs, their founders of companies. How do you 322 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 1: wear all of those hats but still give yourself the 323 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:33,200 Speaker 1: time and permission to take care of yourself? Because obviously 324 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,360 Speaker 1: you're someone who's very mindful, you take care of your 325 00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 1: physical and mental health. How do you give yourself permission 326 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,160 Speaker 1: in all of that? How have you found to make 327 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 1: space for your own health and wellness while you're building 328 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,400 Speaker 1: a company and being a mother, and of course being 329 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: a wife and provider and family person too. Yeah, it's 330 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 1: actually something that I was very conscious of because my 331 00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: mother she actually it is quite a workaholic. Is when 332 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 1: I was a child, so my grandmother, I spent a 333 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,679 Speaker 1: lot of time with my grandmother, who you know, was 334 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 1: a grandmother at home and so she was very nurturing. 335 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,879 Speaker 1: So my mom taught me the importance of hard work 336 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,959 Speaker 1: and having the really like great work ethic and just like, 337 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 1: let's get in and do this and do it with 338 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 1: our whole heart. And my grandmother taught me the loving 339 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:30,359 Speaker 1: nurturing side of things. So for me, I really wanted 340 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 1: to infuse the two from my children so that they 341 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,160 Speaker 1: understood that work is a part of life. But at 342 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 1: the same time, I'm there for them and meeting their 343 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,360 Speaker 1: needs and I am taking time to be with them, 344 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 1: and they feel like they're they and they know that 345 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 1: they're my priority always, like they come first, no matter what, 346 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,440 Speaker 1: and so it is a balance. And so what I've 347 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,439 Speaker 1: had to do, and I know you practice this as well, 348 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 1: is I have everything on my calendar and I map 349 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:06,119 Speaker 1: everything out from minute to minute, like literally, So my 350 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 1: husband wakes up at five thirty every morning, so I 351 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,119 Speaker 1: know that I have from five thirty till six thirty 352 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 1: because my children generally wake up between six thirty and seven, 353 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 1: depends on how the night's gone. So I know that 354 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:24,160 Speaker 1: I have that time to do what fills my cup 355 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,959 Speaker 1: at the very minimum right, because we all know that 356 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,399 Speaker 1: we need to fill our own cup in order to 357 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 1: be able to give abundantly to everyone around them. And 358 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 1: I really want to be the best mother I can be. 359 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 1: I want to be the best partner I can be 360 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 1: to my husband. I want to be the rest my 361 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,720 Speaker 1: best for my team. And I really believe in being 362 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:48,399 Speaker 1: present and engaged and wherever I am, like in that moment. 363 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,120 Speaker 1: So in order for me to be able to do that, 364 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 1: having that calendar mapped out and then having flexibility within 365 00:21:56,440 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 1: that is a way that helps me stick mostly to 366 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,159 Speaker 1: the plan and even thinks in there, like you know, 367 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 1: I used to having there like called my Grandma because 368 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 1: and she just passed a year ago. But I would 369 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 1: have that in there because that way time wouldn't just 370 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 1: slip through my fingers, you know, and I would make 371 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 1: sure that I had that time in there because life 372 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:21,680 Speaker 1: is very busy for each and every one of us, 373 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:26,439 Speaker 1: and especially being a working mom. And you know, my 374 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 1: company is now global where in thirty different countries. I 375 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 1: built this company from the ground up and and it's 376 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 1: been incredible to watch the company grow and you know, 377 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,159 Speaker 1: see the results that my skincare is getting from people's 378 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,719 Speaker 1: skin all over the world, and it's super rewarding, but 379 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:48,679 Speaker 1: it needs my time and guidance. And there is so 380 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,399 Speaker 1: much that I want to do in my life and 381 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:55,200 Speaker 1: and at the same time, so I write down those 382 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 1: lists like you do, and time things out so that 383 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,479 Speaker 1: they and I'm as organized as I can be. And 384 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 1: then if things don't go to plan, then you just 385 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 1: are like a willow tree. And I say to my team, 386 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,879 Speaker 1: let's be like a willow tree and go with the flow. 387 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:18,400 Speaker 1: Because in a storm, the willow tree doesn't break. It's 388 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,879 Speaker 1: the rigid oak that everyone assumes the oak tree is 389 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 1: so strong, that's the tree that will break because it's 390 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,879 Speaker 1: too rigid. So it's important to have flexibility. So we 391 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:33,719 Speaker 1: make plans and then we have to adjust and adapt 392 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 1: accordingly when things change. I've loved that analogy for so long, 393 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 1: and you just shared that so beautifully. I think it's 394 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 1: such a great lesson for all of us, because, like 395 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,439 Speaker 1: you said, we hang on to that certainty and that 396 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 1: surety and that stability and will trying to make sure 397 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:55,200 Speaker 1: that it doesn't change. But you're so right that flexibility 398 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 1: and adaptability is what allows you to continue to flow 399 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,639 Speaker 1: and grow during tough time and you mentioned there. You know, 400 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:05,480 Speaker 1: you've built this business from the ground up, you started it. 401 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,440 Speaker 1: But what I'm really interesting around there's going a couple 402 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,679 Speaker 1: of step back and talking about the pivot. You know, 403 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 1: you're a really successful model or at the top of 404 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,399 Speaker 1: your career, you're on the front cover of every magazine, 405 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,199 Speaker 1: and then you decide to make this shift. Can you 406 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:22,639 Speaker 1: talk to us about how challenging or interesting that pivot was, 407 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,960 Speaker 1: because I think so many people today are trying to 408 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 1: make purposeful pivots in their life. And I think everyone 409 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:34,160 Speaker 1: today is recognizing that they're more than their title, They're 410 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,919 Speaker 1: more than their job, They're more than the career that 411 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,480 Speaker 1: they've built. There can be so many other things. Can 412 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 1: you talk to us a bit about how you thought 413 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 1: about that pivot when you first began, when the business 414 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 1: wasn't as successful as it is today. As I said, 415 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 1: I grew up in this little country town in Australia 416 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 1: and I had that I had, like there was so 417 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 1: much love. We didn't have much money, but we had 418 00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:00,360 Speaker 1: a lot of love and a lot of support from 419 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,719 Speaker 1: our whole family. Because you know, my aunts and uncles 420 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 1: and cousins and everyone, and we're all very much into 421 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:10,159 Speaker 1: health and wellness and have been. And it's interesting because 422 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 1: that really shaped who I am today growing up like that. 423 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 1: And my grandmother taught me about nonie juice when I 424 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,399 Speaker 1: was thirteen, which is the key ingredient across my whole range. 425 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 1: And then my mum got six she had cancer in 426 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 1: her spleen. I think I was maybe sixteen at the time, 427 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 1: and we then had to look through everything that we 428 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 1: were doing as a family. And there was this little 429 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:37,920 Speaker 1: book that a friend of my mom's gave to her. 430 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 1: It was called the Chemical Maze, and in this book 431 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 1: it explained everything from like household products, cleaning products, products 432 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:52,920 Speaker 1: that you might have in the pantry, shampoo, skincare, makeup, 433 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 1: and it explains like all the little numbers that you 434 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:57,879 Speaker 1: see on the back of packaged goods, whether that be 435 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 1: personal products or whether that be ingestables, whatever it is. 436 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,480 Speaker 1: We assumed that we were living a healthy life, right 437 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,920 Speaker 1: because my grandparents had an organic vegetable patch and we 438 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 1: ate lots of vegetables from the vegetable garden, and we 439 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 1: were very much aware of health and wellness. And my 440 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 1: grandma you introduced me to Alivia, as I said, she 441 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 1: introduced me to known me. She's very much into all 442 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:25,920 Speaker 1: of these natural therapies, and so we were very surprised 443 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 1: to see when we took a closer look at the 444 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 1: fine print on the back of these packaged goods that 445 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:39,399 Speaker 1: there were so many potentially harmful and carcinogenic products. So 446 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 1: we were exposing ourselves to unknowingly every single day, and 447 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:49,719 Speaker 1: we were horrified and like wow, horrified, but also like 448 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 1: excited about the opportunity to learn more and find something 449 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 1: that was truly able to serve the purpose, whether that 450 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:02,280 Speaker 1: be you a clear product at home, or a personal 451 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 1: skincare product or a haircare that was healthier to what 452 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 1: we had been using. And we just assumed that things 453 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 1: were healthy, not like we just assumed that things were 454 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:16,120 Speaker 1: safe because they were sold on the shelf in the supermarket. 455 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 1: And so it was kind of at that stage when 456 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:25,240 Speaker 1: I was like sixteen and as a family, going through 457 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:29,040 Speaker 1: that experience with my mum and really looking closely at 458 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,119 Speaker 1: all the ingredients, it really sparked a desire and a 459 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,119 Speaker 1: passion and an interest in me. And then I was 460 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 1: talking to a friend of mine in two thousand and 461 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:40,399 Speaker 1: six in Australia and I was like, I haven't been 462 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 1: able to find the truly certified organic skincare brand, and 463 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:45,960 Speaker 1: your skin is the largest organ. What you put on 464 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,840 Speaker 1: your skin soaks in. And I was like, do you 465 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 1: know of anything, and she's like no, but let me 466 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:55,359 Speaker 1: speak to my friend who makes certified organic essential oils 467 00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 1: because maybe she knows. I speak to her. And then 468 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 1: she's like, well, why don't you just create your own? 469 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:05,159 Speaker 1: And I was like, okay, She's like, why don't you 470 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:08,239 Speaker 1: just speak to the lab, speak to the chemist, and like, 471 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:10,720 Speaker 1: you know, even if you just make it for yourself. 472 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 1: So we started back and forth, and then originally I 473 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 1: was just making it for myself and creating these products, 474 00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:20,680 Speaker 1: and then either to send a product to my mom, 475 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:24,720 Speaker 1: which is the knownly glow Face oil, and she had 476 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 1: at the time, she had like a psoriasis issue on 477 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,679 Speaker 1: her skin and the doctor had put her on a 478 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,680 Speaker 1: steroid cream, and it was really uncomfortable for my mom 479 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 1: because she has naturally great skin and she never really 480 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,800 Speaker 1: was one to even wear makeup, so it really like 481 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 1: hurt her confidence having this issue on her skin and 482 00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 1: having to put the steroid cream on, which she knew 483 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 1: wasn't healthy for her. But she didn't have really another alternative, 484 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 1: so I said, here, try this. I'm testing this new product. 485 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 1: So she tried it and within a week her skin 486 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,400 Speaker 1: had cleared up and she's like, Granda, this is amazing. 487 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 1: And I was like, wow, we got souls firsthand. Here, guys, 488 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 1: let's keep going. And that's how it kind of all started. 489 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 1: And it was just starting from like a passion that 490 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 1: I had at the time when I launched in Australia 491 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 1: in um we ended up launching at the end of 492 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:19,240 Speaker 1: two thousand and nine, and I launched with a major 493 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 1: department store there and then we went into little pharmacies 494 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,960 Speaker 1: and whatnot, and it was for me, it was a 495 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:29,880 Speaker 1: passion project about really getting these products out that from 496 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 1: day one was certified organic. They were filtered through rose 497 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:37,400 Speaker 1: quartz crystals in the manufacturing process because I personally wanted 498 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 1: that mind body skin connection. And they don't use any 499 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:47,680 Speaker 1: artificial fragrance. It's only essential oils and therapeutic grade essential oils, 500 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 1: and each product has its own blend of those essential oils, 501 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,480 Speaker 1: so you're getting a benefit from that, whether that be 502 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 1: uplifting like with our tumoric mask, or whether that be 503 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:03,680 Speaker 1: soothing with our milky mushroom cleanser and calming and also 504 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 1: on the back of everyone of Courus products is a 505 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:11,080 Speaker 1: positive word to encourage that shift in your mindset. Like 506 00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,360 Speaker 1: I was talking about before that we have a choice. 507 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 1: So we can look outside and go, oh, I can't 508 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,280 Speaker 1: believe it's raining, or we can look outside and we 509 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:21,400 Speaker 1: can go, Wow, it's so lovely when it rains, it's 510 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 1: so cozy, or we really needed that rain, like we 511 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 1: can the way that we see the world can really 512 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:31,480 Speaker 1: transform our reality. So when I created Cora, first and foremost, 513 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:36,600 Speaker 1: I wanted clinically active, healthy, certified organic skincare like results 514 00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 1: driven like number one. Second of all, I wanted to 515 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 1: really create something that was more than skincare that really 516 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:46,120 Speaker 1: would just uplift you when you're using it. And you 517 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:50,600 Speaker 1: could feel the energy from the crystals because they're energetic, 518 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 1: you know, tools that have been used for many years 519 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 1: and something I've lent on in my life. You feel 520 00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:02,480 Speaker 1: the energy and the uplifting element from the aromatherapy, and 521 00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:07,520 Speaker 1: you also feel the energy from the intention behind it 522 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 1: that like every product has, like the face level has, 523 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:13,960 Speaker 1: like bliss on the back of the product. The new 524 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,960 Speaker 1: moisturizer that we're about to launch has like peace, so 525 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:21,920 Speaker 1: you feel that intention behind it. So everything's really intentional 526 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 1: and hopefully creates little rituals in your life as opposed 527 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:31,320 Speaker 1: to just some monotonous skincare routine. That is amazing, congratulations. 528 00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:34,600 Speaker 1: I love hearing about the journey and the story and 529 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 1: the steps and the intensity of the research and finding 530 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:45,160 Speaker 1: all these old, amazing gems of healing substances and technologies 531 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,640 Speaker 1: that are being used now. And I actually saw this 532 00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:53,040 Speaker 1: article from US saying why women everywhere trust Mirandicas Cora Organics, 533 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:56,960 Speaker 1: And I think that that word is so important, trust, 534 00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,120 Speaker 1: Like I think there are things in the world that sell, 535 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,840 Speaker 1: there are things in the world that are very popular, 536 00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,040 Speaker 1: but then trust is deeper than all of those things. 537 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:09,000 Speaker 1: I mean, Miranda, how does that feel when you think, Wow, 538 00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 1: like people trust the work that we're doing like that, 539 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,320 Speaker 1: That must feel amazing, Like what does that feel like? 540 00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:19,800 Speaker 1: That feels so rewarding to me because I have started 541 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:25,520 Speaker 1: this company from day one trying to create these transformational 542 00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:29,960 Speaker 1: products that are healthy for you, that are you know, 543 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:34,000 Speaker 1: clinically active, going to uplift you as well at the 544 00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:39,800 Speaker 1: same time, and my intention has always been to put 545 00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:44,640 Speaker 1: these products out there and create these products to really 546 00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:48,600 Speaker 1: help people. I've never taken assent from the company because 547 00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 1: it's my baby. You just put everything into it, and 548 00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,800 Speaker 1: I do it because of my love and my passion 549 00:32:56,640 --> 00:33:01,120 Speaker 1: for health and wellness and for helping people. I don't 550 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:06,040 Speaker 1: actually need to work like I could semi retire, and 551 00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:08,440 Speaker 1: I often will say to myself, what am I doing 552 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:12,040 Speaker 1: this work again? But I realize that I have something 553 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:16,480 Speaker 1: really special here. I'm not creating this product line to 554 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,920 Speaker 1: make it really huge and then sell it for all 555 00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:25,080 Speaker 1: this money. What I'm doing is I'm trying to create 556 00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:29,960 Speaker 1: something special that can really make a difference to people's skin. 557 00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:33,120 Speaker 1: And my hope is that I can hand down this 558 00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:36,720 Speaker 1: company to my three boys, just like Estey Lauder was 559 00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:40,560 Speaker 1: handed down through their family, and they can continue my 560 00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:44,040 Speaker 1: legacy and that these products will continue to help people's 561 00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:49,120 Speaker 1: skin and spirit long after I'm gone. So it feels 562 00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:52,680 Speaker 1: like a big blessing to me to be able to 563 00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:56,880 Speaker 1: create products that give people the results that they need 564 00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:00,360 Speaker 1: in a really healthy way. That's good for them, it's 565 00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:05,240 Speaker 1: good for the environment, and it hopefully adds that uplifting 566 00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:09,600 Speaker 1: element to their life as well, so they feel like 567 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:13,879 Speaker 1: more connected to themselves through the experience of these little 568 00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:18,520 Speaker 1: rituals that I've created, Like for example, like, I know 569 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:20,920 Speaker 1: this might be too much for some people, but I 570 00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:25,120 Speaker 1: like this example myself and I do as you hear 571 00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:28,800 Speaker 1: like practices with my children. The forgiveness part right, because 572 00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:32,840 Speaker 1: we're all human beings. So with the milky mushroom cleanser, 573 00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:37,160 Speaker 1: I created this cleanser, so you shake it to activate it. 574 00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 1: It has the silvery and mushroom in there. It comes 575 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:43,479 Speaker 1: out like this milky oil based cleanser. On the back 576 00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:47,640 Speaker 1: of the packaging is forgiveness. So while you're cleansing your skin, 577 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,879 Speaker 1: you're also cleansing your spirit. So you take that opportunity. 578 00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:54,200 Speaker 1: Because we cleanse our skin generally morning and night. We 579 00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:57,560 Speaker 1: have that as a little ritual that we're cleansing our skin, 580 00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:01,120 Speaker 1: we're also peacemaking forgiving us selves and forgiving anyone that 581 00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:04,080 Speaker 1: may have intentionally or unintentionally hurt ourselves. And at the 582 00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:07,320 Speaker 1: same time, another crystal is infused into that, which is 583 00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:10,600 Speaker 1: a clear quote, which is also about bringing clarity. So 584 00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:12,440 Speaker 1: you've got the rose quots for the love and the 585 00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:16,520 Speaker 1: nurturing and the clear quotes for bringing clarity, and so 586 00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:19,560 Speaker 1: to me, that just feels like such a lovely ritual. 587 00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:23,880 Speaker 1: And then it has the essential oils of rose, geranium 588 00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:27,560 Speaker 1: and basil, which you're all anti anxiety essential oils that 589 00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:32,040 Speaker 1: really calm the spirit. And like, so I just to me, 590 00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,640 Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe I'm crazy, but that type of 591 00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:40,920 Speaker 1: experience like really empowers me because I don't have much 592 00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:43,800 Speaker 1: time in my life and so to have that experience 593 00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:46,880 Speaker 1: whilst I'm doing a monotonous thing like cleansing my face 594 00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:49,319 Speaker 1: gives back to me and I want to share that 595 00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:52,879 Speaker 1: with other people. Yes, yes, I love that. I don't 596 00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:56,040 Speaker 1: think it makes you sound crazy. I mean everything's very thoughtful. 597 00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:59,000 Speaker 1: It's intentional. It's mindful, ladies, mind body spirit in the 598 00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,560 Speaker 1: sense that you do something, like you said, monotonous for 599 00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:05,120 Speaker 1: your face, but actually it's impacting your spirit, and it's 600 00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:08,120 Speaker 1: impacting your mind and it's impacting your senses. I mean, 601 00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:12,120 Speaker 1: that's absolutely phenomenal. I wonder, did you, Miranda, come across 602 00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:16,200 Speaker 1: any hurdles or failures or setbacks in the beginning that 603 00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,680 Speaker 1: you think entrepreneurs and founders can be mindful of, Because 604 00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:23,839 Speaker 1: when you're trying to create something so purpose based, and 605 00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:25,560 Speaker 1: when you're trying to create something like you have that 606 00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:29,280 Speaker 1: is so much about creating a product that actually helps people. 607 00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,239 Speaker 1: Can you walk me through maybe some of the challenges 608 00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:35,160 Speaker 1: that you had as well, because I think sometimes people 609 00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,880 Speaker 1: have a romantic view that oh, if I'm passionate and 610 00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:40,960 Speaker 1: I love something, then things just work out. And we 611 00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:43,839 Speaker 1: know that's not true even if you have good intentions, 612 00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:45,880 Speaker 1: because so can you walk us through that, because you 613 00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:49,759 Speaker 1: obviously seem like such a well intentioned human being. But 614 00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:52,040 Speaker 1: I want people to also realize that there's been a 615 00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,359 Speaker 1: lot of hard work and focus and figuring things out 616 00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:57,799 Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, I mean there is so much hard 617 00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:05,280 Speaker 1: work and focus and commitment, an unwavering commitment, because even 618 00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:08,680 Speaker 1: from day one, I was told that no, people don't 619 00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:10,960 Speaker 1: want they don't care if it's an organic product, like, 620 00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,200 Speaker 1: no one cares about that. And I was like, but 621 00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:17,640 Speaker 1: I do I really care about that. I want a 622 00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:20,440 Speaker 1: certified organic product. I don't just want an organic product 623 00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:23,719 Speaker 1: or a natural product or a clean product. It needs 624 00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:26,640 Speaker 1: to be certified organic. And the reason for me that 625 00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:28,920 Speaker 1: it needs to be certified organic is because of all 626 00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:32,520 Speaker 1: of my research from when my mum got sick. What 627 00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:36,560 Speaker 1: we realized is that, and what is now scientifically proven 628 00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:40,200 Speaker 1: is that they're up to sixty percent more antioxidants in 629 00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:45,960 Speaker 1: an organic ingredient. So therefore you're going to get a 630 00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:49,640 Speaker 1: better result for your skin from using certified organic products. 631 00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:53,920 Speaker 1: You'll get higher antioxidant content. And so I don't want 632 00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:56,120 Speaker 1: to put something on my skin just because it's healthy 633 00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,200 Speaker 1: for me. I want it to be results driven. And 634 00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:03,120 Speaker 1: so not only do you not have the pesticide sprayed 635 00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:09,239 Speaker 1: on the organic crops, you don't have the added unnecessary 636 00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:12,479 Speaker 1: things added to it that might be detrimental to your health. 637 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:15,879 Speaker 1: In addition to that, Yeah, but you also have like 638 00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:18,440 Speaker 1: sixty percent more antioxidants. So to me, it was like 639 00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:20,879 Speaker 1: such a no brain up. But everyone was like, no 640 00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,239 Speaker 1: one cares if it's organic. Why don't you just call 641 00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:25,359 Speaker 1: your brand Cora and then you're going to be able 642 00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:27,560 Speaker 1: to have more flexibility. Why do you need to be organic? 643 00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:31,399 Speaker 1: And I was like, because it's organic. It's like that's 644 00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:34,279 Speaker 1: the whole reason I eat organic. And it needs to 645 00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:38,000 Speaker 1: be certified. And being certified organic is a really really big, 646 00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:43,120 Speaker 1: long like process, and so we're certified by the World 647 00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:47,160 Speaker 1: Certification Body ECOSO COSMAS, and there are so many details 648 00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:50,719 Speaker 1: and audits that we have to go through, that our 649 00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:54,920 Speaker 1: all of our chemists have to go through, the manufacturers 650 00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:58,440 Speaker 1: have to go through. That's why people don't necessarily do it, 651 00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:00,560 Speaker 1: because there's a lot of time, it's a lot of effort, 652 00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:04,239 Speaker 1: it's a lot of money. But that way people really know, 653 00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:06,279 Speaker 1: if you don't have to take my word for it, 654 00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:10,160 Speaker 1: I have an outside body looking in, like like big brother, 655 00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:14,520 Speaker 1: on everything that I'm doing and every word that I 656 00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:16,600 Speaker 1: write on the packaging because I write all the pop 657 00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:20,399 Speaker 1: copy because it comes from my heart, and that all 658 00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:24,600 Speaker 1: has to be approved by ecost Cosmos, and it tells 659 00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:28,399 Speaker 1: you very explicitly, like you know, ninety eight percent comes 660 00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:32,040 Speaker 1: from organic farming, you know, two percent from natural and 661 00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:35,840 Speaker 1: it's very clear, you know, and it's and that is 662 00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:38,560 Speaker 1: the way it should be. It should be clear, and 663 00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:41,560 Speaker 1: it should be and there is so much noise out 664 00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:44,040 Speaker 1: there in the world that I wanted it to be 665 00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:46,280 Speaker 1: like that, and a lot of people in the beginning 666 00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:49,239 Speaker 1: poo pooed me on that. And I was actually the 667 00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:53,879 Speaker 1: leader in the clean beauty category and still to this day, 668 00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:56,920 Speaker 1: we're still the only certified organic brand that Sephora carries, 669 00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:02,160 Speaker 1: like the whole brand and and people are still saying 670 00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:03,640 Speaker 1: to me, like, well, why don't you just call it 671 00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:07,120 Speaker 1: KRA then you'll have more flexibility, you can use more chemicals. 672 00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:10,480 Speaker 1: I was like, no, that takes away the principle. And 673 00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:14,000 Speaker 1: that's the whole thing and the whole reason why this 674 00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:17,400 Speaker 1: company is ninety five mine and I invested, you know, 675 00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:19,719 Speaker 1: all of my money that I worked really hard in, 676 00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:24,520 Speaker 1: like with my career, because that's a whole nother story, 677 00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:27,759 Speaker 1: but that was like a six day a week, two 678 00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:31,040 Speaker 1: different countries a week job, and it actually gave me 679 00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:34,320 Speaker 1: a lot of experience to know what works underneath makeup, 680 00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:37,479 Speaker 1: to know what makes your skin from a texture point 681 00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:40,160 Speaker 1: of view. And then I wanted to create the certified 682 00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:43,920 Speaker 1: organic version of that so that it was, you know, 683 00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:49,600 Speaker 1: such a healthy experience for people not just looked good 684 00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:52,640 Speaker 1: underneath makeup. But it was so and it still is 685 00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:55,560 Speaker 1: so fun for me to work without chemists who I 686 00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:58,800 Speaker 1: believe are just like the best in the world, and 687 00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:01,799 Speaker 1: I work back and forth with them on like this 688 00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:03,560 Speaker 1: is what I'm thinking and feeling and this is a 689 00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:05,680 Speaker 1: cool ingredient and what do you think about this? And 690 00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:09,440 Speaker 1: we go back and forth and really push the boundaries 691 00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:11,680 Speaker 1: and then we do all the studies to back it up, 692 00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:13,839 Speaker 1: and we do before and after photos of people's skin 693 00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:16,880 Speaker 1: to really show the transformation, and it's just it's like 694 00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:20,160 Speaker 1: magic that happens before your eyes. And then you get 695 00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:23,120 Speaker 1: all the heartwarming testimonials and you're like, Okay, I am 696 00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,920 Speaker 1: doing it right. Even though people have said, what are 697 00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:28,440 Speaker 1: you doing? Like this is crazy? No one cares about organics. 698 00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:33,000 Speaker 1: And even still to this day, I have people say 699 00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:36,759 Speaker 1: to me, you know, people only care about clean, they 700 00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:39,600 Speaker 1: don't care about organic. People don't understand what you're talking 701 00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:42,520 Speaker 1: about when you say organic, And I'm like, it doesn't matter. 702 00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:45,960 Speaker 1: This is something that when they do understand, and if 703 00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:49,319 Speaker 1: they did research, then they would never want to use 704 00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:52,360 Speaker 1: anything else. They would always want to look for certified 705 00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:55,640 Speaker 1: organic products. So it's all about education and I'm trying 706 00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:59,920 Speaker 1: to my best educate people so at least they can 707 00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:04,439 Speaker 1: make a conscious choice, because that's the most important thing. 708 00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:08,239 Speaker 1: You don't have to use my products, like because I'm 709 00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:12,040 Speaker 1: saying so, it's a choice that you make because you're 710 00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:16,040 Speaker 1: educated and you know what the difference is. Yeah, absolutely, 711 00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:19,880 Speaker 1: I mean your passion and energy for what you're doing 712 00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:24,520 Speaker 1: is absolutely infectious. I'm just listening to you and I'm 713 00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:28,680 Speaker 1: watching it. I'm thinking, wow, Like the amount of research 714 00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:31,680 Speaker 1: that's been done, the amount of breaking down every part 715 00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:34,240 Speaker 1: of it that exists in this journey, I mean, it's 716 00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:36,719 Speaker 1: I'm really blown away. Honestly, I'm not just saying that. 717 00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:39,600 Speaker 1: I speak to so many founders and we speak to 718 00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:42,160 Speaker 1: so many CEOs, and we speak about so many companies, 719 00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:45,400 Speaker 1: but I can just tell how much this product is 720 00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:48,879 Speaker 1: your heart. And that's so beautiful. And I heard that 721 00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:51,920 Speaker 1: you actually have another exciting product coming out on the 722 00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:55,879 Speaker 1: twenty first of April, I believe, yes, just after my birthday. Yeah, 723 00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:58,160 Speaker 1: could you tell us a bit about that? Yeah, So 724 00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:03,680 Speaker 1: the newest moisture as this is our Active Algae lightweight moisturizer. 725 00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:06,799 Speaker 1: And as you can see, this is symbolic of an 726 00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:12,879 Speaker 1: aquamarine crystal, and it is filtered through and touches upon 727 00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:18,040 Speaker 1: rose quartz and aquamarine crystals. And it is a beautiful, 728 00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:24,120 Speaker 1: as I said, lightweight gel moisturizer that has a refillable jar, 729 00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:27,560 Speaker 1: so you buy the glass jar once and then the 730 00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:32,520 Speaker 1: refilled pods thereafter. And so what I love about this 731 00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:35,839 Speaker 1: is it's a hydrating, creamy gel. I actually have one 732 00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:38,720 Speaker 1: open over here, so I can show you my little 733 00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:44,400 Speaker 1: workspace here, and it's kind of very lightweight and bouncy. 734 00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:48,640 Speaker 1: It's for people that are looking for a lightweight hydration 735 00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:52,279 Speaker 1: because we have our Tumeric moisturizer, and the Tumeric moisturizer 736 00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:57,080 Speaker 1: is more of like a rich, a very rich, creamy 737 00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:01,239 Speaker 1: Tumeric moisturizer. People are obsessed, and this is more of 738 00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:05,600 Speaker 1: the lightweight version. But both of them have incredible results, 739 00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:11,120 Speaker 1: and the ingredients in this new lightweight moisturizer are really 740 00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:17,279 Speaker 1: just super powerful. They have green algae and it's sustainably 741 00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:19,520 Speaker 1: farmed in the US. The green algae that we source 742 00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:23,240 Speaker 1: for this, and it has the bioactive lipids in there 743 00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:26,600 Speaker 1: and the central fatty acids to help fight against aging. 744 00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:30,880 Speaker 1: It helps improve dullness, even skin tone. Your skin is 745 00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:34,000 Speaker 1: brighter and firmer, and we've got all the photos to 746 00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:37,839 Speaker 1: prove that on different skin types and skin tones. It 747 00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:40,600 Speaker 1: also has green tea in here, which we use a 748 00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:42,560 Speaker 1: lot of green tea in a lot of Core Organics 749 00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:47,280 Speaker 1: products and it's very soothing and purifying. It calms redness 750 00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:52,680 Speaker 1: and inflammation. It also has alpine rows that we source 751 00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:59,320 Speaker 1: from the Swiss alps and that's superpowered with antioxidants helps 752 00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:02,360 Speaker 1: protect yoursel skin. And then we have a Swiss Glacier 753 00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:06,839 Speaker 1: water as another key ingredient that we actually encapsulated into 754 00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:10,839 Speaker 1: lipizones in here. So there's tiny little lipizons in here 755 00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:13,680 Speaker 1: that have the Swiss Glacier water on there so that 756 00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:16,880 Speaker 1: when you apply it, they burst onto your skin and 757 00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:20,760 Speaker 1: you it maintains the freshness and so it's very soothing 758 00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:24,640 Speaker 1: and cooling, and it gives you that long lasting hydration 759 00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:31,520 Speaker 1: without any you know, tackiness. So it's like really great 760 00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:34,680 Speaker 1: as a base for makeup. As I said, it's got 761 00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:37,520 Speaker 1: all your essential fatty acids in there. It helps minimize 762 00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:40,800 Speaker 1: the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, it helps minimize paes, 763 00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:45,600 Speaker 1: and it just gives you that long lasting hydration. I 764 00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:49,040 Speaker 1: called this the green juice super food for your skin 765 00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:52,120 Speaker 1: because it literally is like a green juice super food 766 00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:56,960 Speaker 1: for your skin.

So the first question is what is 792 00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:30,440 Speaker 1: the best advice you've ever received. I think it's probably 793 00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:32,520 Speaker 1: from my mom. It's like, if you're going to do something, 794 00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:35,839 Speaker 1: do it with your whole heart. Yeah, I love that. 795 00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:38,560 Speaker 1: I think that's a beautiful piece of advice. What is 796 00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:41,799 Speaker 1: the worst advice you've ever received or heard? To go 797 00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:46,080 Speaker 1: against your intuition? If you really feel deeply about something 798 00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:50,200 Speaker 1: and you know in your heart, like, don't fight against that, 799 00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:53,520 Speaker 1: that's the worst advice, Like, don't just think because it's 800 00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:56,000 Speaker 1: ticking boxes in your head that you should go for 801 00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:58,600 Speaker 1: it when the lambills are ringing inside of you. I 802 00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:00,759 Speaker 1: love that. I've done that so many times, and I've 803 00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:03,040 Speaker 1: always regretted it when I have. If I've ever gone 804 00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:07,319 Speaker 1: against that, it never feels good. So fully agree with you. Okay. 805 00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:11,080 Speaker 1: Question number three? What is something that you used to 806 00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:15,879 Speaker 1: value but you don't value as much anymore? Well? I 807 00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:19,799 Speaker 1: used to. I don't know if value. I used to 808 00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:27,360 Speaker 1: appreciate like the whole, like glamour and fun of different events, 809 00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:30,799 Speaker 1: But now I much preferred to stay home and be 810 00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:34,680 Speaker 1: with my family like I really do. It doesn't matter 811 00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:37,200 Speaker 1: what event it is or if the Queen's going to 812 00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:40,560 Speaker 1: be there, God bless her soul. Like what means the 813 00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:43,440 Speaker 1: most to me is just spending quality time with my family. 814 00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:48,040 Speaker 1: I love that question Number four. What's the first thing 815 00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:49,680 Speaker 1: you do in the morning and the last thing you 816 00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:56,680 Speaker 1: do at night? Kiss my husband? Both love that. That's awesome. 817 00:48:56,719 --> 00:48:59,960 Speaker 1: What a great answer. And fifth question and final question 818 00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:04,000 Speaker 1: and if you could create one law that everyone in 819 00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:07,000 Speaker 1: the world had to follow, or one habit that they 820 00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:09,840 Speaker 1: had to do every day, what would it be? Have 821 00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:13,440 Speaker 1: an attitude of gratitude? Beautiful? If we could all be 822 00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:19,000 Speaker 1: grateful for everything that we have, the simple things like 823 00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:21,799 Speaker 1: a roof over our head, like the fact that we 824 00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:25,360 Speaker 1: can see, the fact that we can talk, the fact 825 00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:28,880 Speaker 1: that we're alive, the fact that we're breathing. If we 826 00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:32,960 Speaker 1: can be grateful for those simple things, the world would 827 00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:36,200 Speaker 1: be a better place because we'd all be more content 828 00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:39,879 Speaker 1: within ourselves. And when you're content within yourself and you're 829 00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:43,920 Speaker 1: grateful for everything, then that attracts more of that into 830 00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:47,440 Speaker 1: your life.
