WEBVTT - Miranda Kerr: Evolving Into New Phases of Life

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:02.080
<v Speaker 1>I saw Victoria's Secret for the first time, and I

0:00:02.080 --> 0:00:06.840
<v Speaker 1>remember thinking they never had seen anything like that in Australia.

0:00:06.880 --> 0:00:10.640
<v Speaker 1>There was nothing remotely like that. And to think fast forward,

0:00:11.000 --> 0:00:13.560
<v Speaker 1>how many years ahead there I would be up there.

0:00:13.800 --> 0:00:17.079
<v Speaker 2>Mirandika is a globally renowned model, a wellness advocate, a

0:00:17.120 --> 0:00:20.479
<v Speaker 2>mother of four, and the founder of Cora Organics. In

0:00:20.520 --> 0:00:23.280
<v Speaker 2>this conversation, we speak about the experiences that shaped her,

0:00:23.640 --> 0:00:26.400
<v Speaker 2>the spiritual practices that keep her grounded, and how she

0:00:26.440 --> 0:00:27.800
<v Speaker 2>built a business with purpose.

0:00:28.000 --> 0:00:31.480
<v Speaker 1>And I think as women let ourselves feel whatever we feel.

0:00:31.600 --> 0:00:34.959
<v Speaker 1>For so many of us, even sometimes that anger might

0:00:34.960 --> 0:00:37.600
<v Speaker 1>come up and we're like, no, I'm not an angry person,

0:00:37.760 --> 0:00:40.080
<v Speaker 1>like I said, but I think it's important to actually

0:00:40.120 --> 0:00:43.640
<v Speaker 1>embrace it and feel it and be like, I'm actually

0:00:43.640 --> 0:00:46.479
<v Speaker 1>feeling angry right now and I need a moment and

0:00:46.520 --> 0:00:49.760
<v Speaker 1>that's okay. Through that challenging time, there will be more

0:00:49.800 --> 0:00:52.960
<v Speaker 1>growth and that it won't be this painful forever.

0:00:53.280 --> 0:00:56.080
<v Speaker 2>Welcome to a Really Good Cry podcast. A Really Good

0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:34.600
<v Speaker 2>So thank you again for being here, Thanks for having me.

0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:37.080
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to start off by just asking you, well,

0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:38.960
<v Speaker 2>let's stop in the beginning, because I feel like there's

0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:40.679
<v Speaker 2>going to be a great way for me to understand

0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:42.840
<v Speaker 2>everything about you. So I want to start off by

0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:45.840
<v Speaker 2>with your childhood, like where did you grow up, how

0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:47.640
<v Speaker 2>did you grow up? Do you remember yourself as a child,

0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:48.320
<v Speaker 2>and what were you like?

0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:52.560
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, I have oh such fun I was so excited.

0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:58.000
<v Speaker 1>I have such fond memories of you know, being a

0:01:58.080 --> 0:02:00.960
<v Speaker 1>child and growing up in Australia. I grew up in

0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:05.240
<v Speaker 1>a little country town about ten thousand people, and it's

0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:10.200
<v Speaker 1>actually the Koala, capital of Australia called Gannada. And the

0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:12.800
<v Speaker 1>funny thing is they now have a sign when you

0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:15.480
<v Speaker 1>enter the town with me holding a koala. So I

0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:16.400
<v Speaker 1>think that's pretty cute.

0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:17.239
<v Speaker 2>It's so cute.

0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:21.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and it was actually right outside of my grandparents' property.

0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:25.440
<v Speaker 1>So my grandma was very proud. So I grew up

0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:30.160
<v Speaker 1>there and I was you know, I grew up riding motorbikes.

0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:34.400
<v Speaker 1>My grandparents had a farm. I learned how to drive

0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:39.000
<v Speaker 1>a stick shift when I was literally maybe seven, like

0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:41.320
<v Speaker 1>I could just see over the wheel, and I just

0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:44.200
<v Speaker 1>loved the freedom that that kind of gave me. That

0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:47.600
<v Speaker 1>I could go and have picnics with my cousins and

0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:51.920
<v Speaker 1>have our you know, time out in the fields and

0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:55.960
<v Speaker 1>just kind of it's amazing the sense of freedom that

0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:59.360
<v Speaker 1>I got as a child that now being a parent myself,

0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:02.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, wait a minute, my parents let me do that,

0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:05.359
<v Speaker 1>or my grandparents let me do that. We also had

0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:10.079
<v Speaker 1>motorbikes and horses and yeah, I just as I said,

0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:15.880
<v Speaker 1>I had a lot of time outdoors in nature and

0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:19.359
<v Speaker 1>my favorite thing was like climbing a willow tree. And

0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:22.960
<v Speaker 1>so you know, there was a willow tree in my grandparents'

0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:24.960
<v Speaker 1>house and There was also a willow tree at my

0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:27.720
<v Speaker 1>cousin's house, and the one of my cousin's house was

0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:30.200
<v Speaker 1>a little bit taller, and one day I climbed up

0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:33.280
<v Speaker 1>so far that my cousin like, I couldn't get down,

0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:36.640
<v Speaker 1>so I climbed. I just loved climbing, climbing, climbing, and

0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:38.560
<v Speaker 1>then I was like, oh, I'm stuck. So my dad

0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:41.440
<v Speaker 1>had to come with the ladder and get me down.

0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:45.000
<v Speaker 1>But that only happened one time. Then I decided I

0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:49.120
<v Speaker 1>don't want to climb that high. It was very humble beginnings,

0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:52.240
<v Speaker 1>and I feel like it really shaped and gave me

0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:54.720
<v Speaker 1>a lot of confidence in who I am as a person,

0:03:55.600 --> 0:03:59.000
<v Speaker 1>because I know, no matter what, like if you have

0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:02.560
<v Speaker 1>like a loving family, that's just the most important thing,

0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:05.760
<v Speaker 1>and you know kind people around you.

0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:08.920
<v Speaker 2>It's such a rare thing to have grown up with

0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:12.200
<v Speaker 2>grandparents like now I think I talk to my friends

0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:15.560
<v Speaker 2>who My grandma actually passed last year. She was ninety two,

0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:18.960
<v Speaker 2>and she was she had an incredible life. But to

0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:22.320
<v Speaker 2>have grown up with grandparents so close, it's a different

0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:24.400
<v Speaker 2>type of perspective that you get in life from just

0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:25.400
<v Speaker 2>having your parents.

0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:28.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so my parents had me when my mom was

0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:32.520
<v Speaker 1>really young. They're still together and very much in love,

0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:36.280
<v Speaker 1>and it just really shows you that it's so important

0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:40.000
<v Speaker 1>in a relationship to just have that commitment to each other,

0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:43.560
<v Speaker 1>and that your relationship grows through so many stages and

0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:48.200
<v Speaker 1>then you can my parents can look back and say like, oh,

0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:51.840
<v Speaker 1>my goodness, remember when we did this and my mom

0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:54.240
<v Speaker 1>that's like my mom's only boyfriend she ever had was

0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:57.640
<v Speaker 1>my dad. That's so sack. And they're so sweet together

0:04:57.839 --> 0:04:59.680
<v Speaker 1>and they're so in love, and what do.

0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:01.640
<v Speaker 2>You feel like, So, how many years have they been married?

0:05:01.640 --> 0:05:02.039
<v Speaker 2>For now?

0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:07.520
<v Speaker 1>So I'm forty three. So they got married when she

0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:13.159
<v Speaker 1>was pregnant with me seventeen. So yeah, wow, neither of

0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:15.559
<v Speaker 1>us like to do the math. No, But the reason

0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:18.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm asking it's a long time. Yeah, it's a long time.

0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:20.200
<v Speaker 1>And I would say that they're like more in love

0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:21.320
<v Speaker 1>now than they've ever been.

0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:23.840
<v Speaker 2>What do you feel like you've learnt from watching them?

0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:25.760
<v Speaker 2>And have they given you any advice when you've gone

0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:27.640
<v Speaker 2>into relationships that's really stuck with you.

0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:32.599
<v Speaker 1>I feel like they really communicate a lot with each other,

0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:37.920
<v Speaker 1>and for so long, maybe my mom wasn't as communicative

0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:40.640
<v Speaker 1>and she just like expected my dad to do things,

0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:44.400
<v Speaker 1>and as she got older, she became like a better communicator,

0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:46.880
<v Speaker 1>and then he was like, oh sure, no worries, Like

0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:53.200
<v Speaker 1>my dad is very chill, and my mom's so much

0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:58.400
<v Speaker 1>more of like ambitious and more driven. And I think

0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:00.680
<v Speaker 1>that's where I got my work ethic from. Like, they

0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:02.880
<v Speaker 1>obviously both have a really good work ethic, and they

0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:06.400
<v Speaker 1>actually had they both had their own businesses, and so

0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:10.200
<v Speaker 1>I learned a lot watching them about that. But I

0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:14.120
<v Speaker 1>also was raised by my grandma, who was a homemaker

0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:19.000
<v Speaker 1>and taught me the importance of routine and consistency, and

0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:22.400
<v Speaker 1>she had something called generosity of spirit that I just

0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:25.560
<v Speaker 1>feel like it was just so she was so welcoming

0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:29.840
<v Speaker 1>to everyone that came into her home, and the door

0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:32.159
<v Speaker 1>was always open, and she never put a lock on

0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:35.719
<v Speaker 1>the door ever, and people would just call in and

0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:37.560
<v Speaker 1>have a cup of tea and some cakes. So she'd

0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:40.080
<v Speaker 1>always be baking. She taught me how to cook, and

0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:43.680
<v Speaker 1>so she also was the one who introduced me to NONI.

0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:46.039
<v Speaker 2>Oh wow, I know, I want to get onto that.

0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:48.839
<v Speaker 2>I'm so excited to talk about NONI because I feel

0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:51.320
<v Speaker 2>there were so many beautiful ingredients out there in the

0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:54.680
<v Speaker 2>world that people have no idea about hubs and things

0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:57.360
<v Speaker 2>that need to provide that we don't realize how much

0:06:57.400 --> 0:06:58.880
<v Speaker 2>it can do for us. And I know that that's

0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:01.480
<v Speaker 2>something you've been into, Cora, which you're going to definitely

0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:03.680
<v Speaker 2>get onto. But you know, you've done so many things

0:07:03.680 --> 0:07:04.080
<v Speaker 2>in your life.

0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:06.240
<v Speaker 1>Like I told you, I'm going to take my shoes off, I.

0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:11.040
<v Speaker 2>Feel like you've done so much in your life. You've

0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:13.760
<v Speaker 2>done modeling, You've had so much success in your life.

0:07:13.760 --> 0:07:17.560
<v Speaker 2>You're an entrepreneur, and I'm sure that each phase brought

0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:19.880
<v Speaker 2>you so much. But when when you've got to this

0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:22.040
<v Speaker 2>point in your life, now, what is it that's driving

0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:24.200
<v Speaker 2>you and what's exciting you in your life at the moment.

0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:27.840
<v Speaker 1>Well, as you know, I'm a mother of four boys,

0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:32.040
<v Speaker 1>so every day is exciting and a new adventure, and

0:07:32.040 --> 0:07:34.400
<v Speaker 1>they're all in different stages. So I have a two

0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:39.480
<v Speaker 1>year old who is just absolutely loving life. He is

0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:43.400
<v Speaker 1>the angel of the family that everyone adores, and there

0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:46.120
<v Speaker 1>was never any like jealousy of him coming along. They

0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:50.280
<v Speaker 1>were always so supportive. His little brother, that's you know,

0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:54.520
<v Speaker 1>that's next, was six years old, and he when I

0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:56.760
<v Speaker 1>was pregnant, would kiss my tummy every day and talk

0:07:56.800 --> 0:08:01.840
<v Speaker 1>to the baby. And the day that he he woke

0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:04.640
<v Speaker 1>up and he said, Mommy, I had a dream that

0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:07.920
<v Speaker 1>the baby was coming today. And I was like, no, no, honey,

0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:11.680
<v Speaker 1>he's not due for another three weeks. And I went

0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:15.960
<v Speaker 1>into labor that day and I had him that day.

0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:20.280
<v Speaker 1>And that's how connected they are. And then I have

0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:24.160
<v Speaker 1>an eight little eight year old and they're only fifteen

0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:26.120
<v Speaker 1>months apart, the six and the eight year old. So

0:08:26.200 --> 0:08:28.680
<v Speaker 1>the six almost seven, they were six seven and then

0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:32.520
<v Speaker 1>used to always be like six seven, and then he

0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:37.120
<v Speaker 1>had his birthday and anyway, so now they're six and eight,

0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:41.440
<v Speaker 1>and the eight year old is so sweet and gentle,

0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:44.120
<v Speaker 1>and the six year old is a little like they're

0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:48.199
<v Speaker 1>all they're all loving and gentle and kind. But then

0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:52.200
<v Speaker 1>they all have their own little individual personalities. Like the

0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:56.720
<v Speaker 1>baby for sure, knows exactly what he wants, and he's

0:08:57.000 --> 0:09:02.680
<v Speaker 1>very comfortable in his own skin, and he he's very cheeky,

0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:06.680
<v Speaker 1>and he's obsessed with like cars and like diggers and

0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:11.559
<v Speaker 1>all the very like boys thing boys stuff. His other brother, Miles,

0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:13.440
<v Speaker 1>the one that I said would kiss him every night,

0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:16.440
<v Speaker 1>he's like such like he can do any puzzle, Like

0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:20.800
<v Speaker 1>he's like a little puzzle master. But he's also very

0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:23.280
<v Speaker 1>like he'll be the one that will like tackle his

0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:26.520
<v Speaker 1>big brother and like rough house with his fifteen year

0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:29.360
<v Speaker 1>old brother. And I'm like, whoa, well, take it easy.

0:09:29.520 --> 0:09:34.120
<v Speaker 1>And he's mischievous. We call him like mischievous Miles. And

0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:37.720
<v Speaker 1>then there's as I said, HATI, who's more cerebral and

0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:41.600
<v Speaker 1>very thoughtful, and he's like he like for the longest time,

0:09:41.640 --> 0:09:45.000
<v Speaker 1>he would just like wake up and get his clothes

0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:47.400
<v Speaker 1>on and get himself ready for school, and they'd be like, okay, Mom,

0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:49.280
<v Speaker 1>come on, you're gonna be late to school. I'm like, buddy,

0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:51.280
<v Speaker 1>we've got half an hour. He's like, can't be late.

0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:54.800
<v Speaker 1>Can't be late. I'm like okay. Whereas his brother's like, Mom,

0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:57.600
<v Speaker 1>it's fine. He's like, it's fine. We can have another

0:09:57.640 --> 0:10:00.079
<v Speaker 1>cup of tea. Like he likes having tea parties. The

0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:02.400
<v Speaker 1>six year old loves having tea parties, and so does

0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:05.839
<v Speaker 1>the baby. We do have tea parties. Actually, I baked

0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:07.520
<v Speaker 1>a cake today with the two year old. He was

0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:11.440
<v Speaker 1>so excited. I should have bought some for you. Oh sorry,

0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:17.440
<v Speaker 1>next time. And my eight year old is amazing with lego,

0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:20.120
<v Speaker 1>like he just did the fee for World Cup Lego

0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:23.559
<v Speaker 1>when he's eight, and he just like, in two days

0:10:23.840 --> 0:10:28.360
<v Speaker 1>this World Cup Lego, which is kind of intricate, really intense.

0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:31.640
<v Speaker 1>And then and he loves math, like math is his

0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:35.120
<v Speaker 1>favorite subject. And then my teenager who's fifteen, is a

0:10:35.120 --> 0:10:38.920
<v Speaker 1>true artist. And we're actually working on a children's book together.

0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:41.719
<v Speaker 1>But I told him no pressure, because I want him

0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:45.320
<v Speaker 1>to feel it, you know, not feel the pressure of that.

0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:48.840
<v Speaker 1>But I am excited about writing a book with him

0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:52.600
<v Speaker 1>and him doing the illustrations. And he was very specific

0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:55.440
<v Speaker 1>about what he wanted the book to be about. And yeah,

0:10:55.880 --> 0:10:58.480
<v Speaker 1>how do you feel like you've changed from your first

0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:00.400
<v Speaker 1>child to now your fourth child. Do you feel like

0:11:00.440 --> 0:11:02.760
<v Speaker 1>you did a lot of different things with each child

0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:06.520
<v Speaker 1>or did you maintain the same practices and the way

0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:10.360
<v Speaker 1>that you treated your body during each pregnancy. Well, with

0:11:10.480 --> 0:11:13.240
<v Speaker 1>my first pregnancy, I had a lot more time, obviously,

0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:16.240
<v Speaker 1>so I was able to do I was doing yoga

0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:20.160
<v Speaker 1>every day. I was like, you know, making one thing

0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:24.720
<v Speaker 1>that's being consistent throughout all my pregnancy is my meditation practice.

0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:27.200
<v Speaker 1>So that's like a non negotiable for me. In the morning,

0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:30.080
<v Speaker 1>at least I can do that when the kids are asleep.

0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:34.280
<v Speaker 1>Still I don't normally get time to do my second practice,

0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:37.600
<v Speaker 1>but sometimes I do if I'm lucky. That's like a bonus.

0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:43.440
<v Speaker 1>So with the other boys, I didn't have the luxury

0:11:43.480 --> 0:11:45.800
<v Speaker 1>of doing like yoga every day to the extent that

0:11:45.840 --> 0:11:49.360
<v Speaker 1>I did with Flynn. And then with Flynn, I remember

0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:52.280
<v Speaker 1>my grandma saying like, routine is the most important thing

0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:54.719
<v Speaker 1>that you can have with your children, and getting them

0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:58.200
<v Speaker 1>in that routine, the sleep schedule and all of that,

0:11:58.240 --> 0:12:00.760
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, oh, it's fine. I'm a willow tree.

0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:03.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm much more flexible and I like to go with

0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:06.280
<v Speaker 1>the flow, and I love the willow tree, so I

0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:09.040
<v Speaker 1>do use that like I love that philosophy of being

0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:11.280
<v Speaker 1>like a willow and not being rigid like an oak.

0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:14.960
<v Speaker 1>But I have learned the value now that I have

0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:19.160
<v Speaker 1>four in the safety that routine brings. And so I'm

0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:21.200
<v Speaker 1>much more routined with my two year old than I

0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:24.600
<v Speaker 1>was with my first child. Yeah. You learn so much

0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:28.079
<v Speaker 1>as you go through each child. Yeah, and you, I guess.

0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:31.640
<v Speaker 1>But actually with each pregnancy. With the first pregnancy, I

0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:35.679
<v Speaker 1>was very relaxed because I was naive. Then the last pregnancy,

0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:39.160
<v Speaker 1>I was more on my toes because the more you learn,

0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:42.640
<v Speaker 1>the more you become a little more concerned. But then

0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:46.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm the opposite, like with the children. So like with

0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:49.880
<v Speaker 1>my first child, there was much more like oh okay,

0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:51.240
<v Speaker 1>like we need to do this and this, And now

0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:52.760
<v Speaker 1>with my fourth child, I'm more relaxed.

0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:56.400
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, I'm like my sister was the same. She

0:12:56.480 --> 0:13:00.280
<v Speaker 2>was so conscious of every little thing of just don't

0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:03.240
<v Speaker 2>go there and don't go here. Her little girl now

0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:05.200
<v Speaker 2>she's like a little wild one. She'll just climb up

0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:07.840
<v Speaker 2>trees or run around. And yeah, my sister won't say anything,

0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:10.200
<v Speaker 2>but it's true. You end up kind of easing into

0:13:10.360 --> 0:13:13.040
<v Speaker 2>the it's like anything. I imagine. I haven't got to

0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:15.559
<v Speaker 2>that stage in my life yet, but I can imagine

0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:19.120
<v Speaker 2>you just with practice comes ease, and hey, you kind

0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:20.600
<v Speaker 2>of have to let loose a little bit, let loose

0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:21.160
<v Speaker 2>on the grips.

0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:25.520
<v Speaker 1>Yes, especially with four boys running wide and then the

0:13:25.520 --> 0:13:28.160
<v Speaker 1>little baby comes like after them and he tries to

0:13:28.240 --> 0:13:29.960
<v Speaker 1>keep up with them, and I'm like, hey, take it easy,

0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:32.480
<v Speaker 1>he's too he's too he can't keep up with you.

0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:35.920
<v Speaker 2>Guys. You mentioned your meditation practice. Yeah, and I know

0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:38.000
<v Speaker 2>that you've had this practice for quite a long time. Now,

0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:39.680
<v Speaker 2>how many years have you been practicing meditation?

0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:44.719
<v Speaker 1>So I first learned meditation when I was seventeen, and

0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:49.360
<v Speaker 1>that was more of like Kundolini yoga meditation, and then

0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:55.640
<v Speaker 1>I learned vada meditation about thirteen years ago. Obviously people

0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:58.600
<v Speaker 1>see it more relate to it more as like TM,

0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:01.439
<v Speaker 1>but originally it's dating meditation where you have a mantra

0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:04.880
<v Speaker 1>and then you practice your mantra twenty minutes. And I've

0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:09.640
<v Speaker 1>also I also have always enjoyed yoga nidra. Just a

0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:13.200
<v Speaker 1>guided yoga nidra practice feels really good to me. Sometimes

0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:15.440
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't know what yoga nitra is, would you explain

0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:20.000
<v Speaker 1>it or the practice involves, Well, basically it's a guided

0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:24.200
<v Speaker 1>practice where I lay down and listen to a guided

0:14:24.880 --> 0:14:29.280
<v Speaker 1>kind of relaxation technique through the whole body and let go,

0:14:29.560 --> 0:14:33.080
<v Speaker 1>and then you can go through each of the chakras

0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:36.160
<v Speaker 1>depending on who's leading the But I have a really

0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:38.960
<v Speaker 1>good thirty minute yoga nindra that is like a little

0:14:38.960 --> 0:14:42.640
<v Speaker 1>reset button for me. So I just I really do

0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:46.920
<v Speaker 1>like different types of meditations. I've also experienced some great

0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:50.880
<v Speaker 1>benefits with Joe Dispenser's meditations, which a lot of my

0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:53.400
<v Speaker 1>friends were saying you need to try. But I think

0:14:53.560 --> 0:14:55.920
<v Speaker 1>what comes it comes back to is having that core

0:14:56.000 --> 0:15:00.440
<v Speaker 1>practice of the Vedic meditation twenty minutes every morning. That

0:15:00.520 --> 0:15:05.760
<v Speaker 1>really helps me feel like I'm watering my soul. And

0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:08.840
<v Speaker 1>that to me is something that even my boys have

0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:13.480
<v Speaker 1>a mantra. So except for the baby, my fifteen year

0:15:13.520 --> 0:15:16.440
<v Speaker 1>old does. He had a group of friends that also

0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:21.520
<v Speaker 1>have learned, you know, the meditation technique, and so I

0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:24.760
<v Speaker 1>think it's really valuable to give them that so that

0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:28.680
<v Speaker 1>then they have that in their pocket and they can

0:15:28.880 --> 0:15:32.200
<v Speaker 1>rely on that. And also at night. Since my fifteen

0:15:32.240 --> 0:15:35.160
<v Speaker 1>year old was young, I used to tell him this

0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:39.600
<v Speaker 1>kind of guided meditation. I would say about like going

0:15:39.640 --> 0:15:42.640
<v Speaker 1>to a waterfall and like you know, like having the

0:15:42.640 --> 0:15:45.120
<v Speaker 1>water like cleanse away any worries and things like that.

0:15:45.680 --> 0:15:48.080
<v Speaker 1>And so when I was at the Joe Despenser retreat,

0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:53.240
<v Speaker 1>I met this woman, Meylan, and she is a singer

0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:56.080
<v Speaker 1>and she sings with him, and so I was like, oh,

0:15:56.080 --> 0:15:59.760
<v Speaker 1>I'd love to like kind of have you come and

0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:02.320
<v Speaker 1>do some meditation with me? Would you be up for that?

0:16:02.400 --> 0:16:05.920
<v Speaker 1>And she came over and when we were doing one

0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:09.320
<v Speaker 1>of the meditations, she was like, you know, I feel

0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:13.120
<v Speaker 1>like it's really important for you to channel a meditation now,

0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:14.840
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, what do you mean, I don't

0:16:14.840 --> 0:16:17.680
<v Speaker 1>know how to channel a meditation? And so I did,

0:16:18.080 --> 0:16:20.360
<v Speaker 1>and we're actually probably going to release it. So I

0:16:20.440 --> 0:16:24.120
<v Speaker 1>recorded one specifically like for myself, but then after I

0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:26.760
<v Speaker 1>listened to it, I was like and she was like, wow,

0:16:26.800 --> 0:16:29.640
<v Speaker 1>I got a lot from that. This would be amazing

0:16:29.840 --> 0:16:32.080
<v Speaker 1>if we could share it with people, and I was like, okay,

0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:36.000
<v Speaker 1>I was so like it just it just came through obviously,

0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:38.360
<v Speaker 1>like it was meant a message that was meant to

0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:42.920
<v Speaker 1>come through me. And it's so beautiful because her voice

0:16:42.960 --> 0:16:45.720
<v Speaker 1>is so angelic. Anyway, so I said to her the

0:16:45.760 --> 0:16:48.240
<v Speaker 1>next day, do you mind if I record one for

0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:52.440
<v Speaker 1>the children? And so I recorded a meditation for my

0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:55.880
<v Speaker 1>children and every night they listened to it when they

0:16:55.880 --> 0:16:57.760
<v Speaker 1>go to sleep, the six and seven year old and

0:16:57.800 --> 0:16:59.720
<v Speaker 1>well six and eight year old, they share a room

0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:02.120
<v Speaker 1>so that we put the meditation on they fall asleep,

0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:04.600
<v Speaker 1>and it's like a guided meditation where they can cleanse

0:17:04.600 --> 0:17:07.720
<v Speaker 1>away any worries and they feel guided and protected and

0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:11.760
<v Speaker 1>safe and it is and it's really comforting for them

0:17:11.800 --> 0:17:14.240
<v Speaker 1>to have that. And my two year old is like,

0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:18.199
<v Speaker 1>put mummy's mummy's voice on now mummy's voice on. I'm like, Okay,

0:17:18.400 --> 0:17:21.520
<v Speaker 1>it's so wonderful to be sharing those you know, we

0:17:21.560 --> 0:17:24.600
<v Speaker 1>share so much with our friends, our family about the

0:17:24.640 --> 0:17:27.199
<v Speaker 1>tools and techniques that we've created when it comes to

0:17:27.280 --> 0:17:29.760
<v Speaker 1>work or finances or you know, there's so much that

0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:32.000
<v Speaker 1>you get taught from a young age. But to have

0:17:32.080 --> 0:17:36.320
<v Speaker 1>tools like meditation, or to have tools like sharing a mantra,

0:17:36.480 --> 0:17:39.360
<v Speaker 1>which at first someone may be like, okay, whatever, it's

0:17:39.359 --> 0:17:41.760
<v Speaker 1>just some words, but those words carry so much energy

0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:44.960
<v Speaker 1>and so much power that they can I think only

0:17:45.000 --> 0:17:48.040
<v Speaker 1>when you do something are you able to really experience it.

0:17:48.280 --> 0:17:50.199
<v Speaker 1>You can hear about it, people will talk about it,

0:17:50.240 --> 0:17:53.760
<v Speaker 1>but when you actually sit for ten thirteen years, every

0:17:53.840 --> 0:17:58.600
<v Speaker 1>single day consistently to lean into this practice, to deepen

0:17:58.640 --> 0:18:02.520
<v Speaker 1>a practice, then can you really understand how the weight

0:18:02.560 --> 0:18:04.760
<v Speaker 1>of it and how it can actually impact you. And

0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:06.800
<v Speaker 1>so I guess for someone who's had that experience for

0:18:06.840 --> 0:18:10.240
<v Speaker 1>thirteen years, how would you say meditation has changed your life?

0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:12.840
<v Speaker 1>Or what did you notice in yourself changing as you

0:18:12.880 --> 0:18:16.520
<v Speaker 1>were kind of deepening your practice. So it's meditation for me,

0:18:16.840 --> 0:18:20.280
<v Speaker 1>and obviously prayer. So my grandmother introduced me to prayer

0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:23.680
<v Speaker 1>when as long as I can remember, she would sit

0:18:23.720 --> 0:18:26.720
<v Speaker 1>and talk with me and read to me and talk

0:18:26.760 --> 0:18:29.400
<v Speaker 1>with me about God and read verses out the Bible

0:18:29.480 --> 0:18:34.120
<v Speaker 1>and the power of prayer, And so for me doing

0:18:34.160 --> 0:18:38.680
<v Speaker 1>the daily meditation and then the prayer of gratitude for

0:18:38.920 --> 0:18:43.520
<v Speaker 1>my life and the prayer of also like forgiveness, because

0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:48.800
<v Speaker 1>being human is, you know, making mistakes and understanding that

0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:52.080
<v Speaker 1>every day kind of forgiving ourselves and forgiving others is

0:18:52.119 --> 0:18:56.240
<v Speaker 1>such an important ritual to bring into our life because

0:18:56.359 --> 0:19:01.040
<v Speaker 1>no one's perfect. And I say, like, I forgive myself,

0:19:01.640 --> 0:19:05.119
<v Speaker 1>and I forgive everyone who has said something intentionally or

0:19:05.200 --> 0:19:10.720
<v Speaker 1>unintentionally to upset me intentionally or unintentionally, and if I've

0:19:10.720 --> 0:19:13.399
<v Speaker 1>done the same to them, Please help us forgive and

0:19:13.440 --> 0:19:15.560
<v Speaker 1>release each other and be at peace with each other

0:19:15.560 --> 0:19:19.720
<v Speaker 1>and be at peace with ourselves, because it's ultimately it's

0:19:19.760 --> 0:19:23.919
<v Speaker 1>almost like just cleansing your spirit so it can have

0:19:24.000 --> 0:19:28.239
<v Speaker 1>an opportunity to thrive and grow and evolve. Because if

0:19:28.280 --> 0:19:31.920
<v Speaker 1>we haven't had that opportunity to cleanse ourself and sit

0:19:32.000 --> 0:19:37.640
<v Speaker 1>deeply with ourself and listen to that guidance within, then

0:19:37.680 --> 0:19:41.280
<v Speaker 1>we're sort of living on autopilot. Like how can we

0:19:42.480 --> 0:19:44.960
<v Speaker 1>really grow to the extent that we're meant to if

0:19:44.960 --> 0:19:48.600
<v Speaker 1>we don't have that in a guidance. So it's almost

0:19:48.680 --> 0:19:55.479
<v Speaker 1>like tending to your soul and creating that time and

0:19:55.520 --> 0:19:58.680
<v Speaker 1>that space in the world that's so fast paced right now.

0:19:58.840 --> 0:20:01.400
<v Speaker 2>I used to think it's a self practice, like it's

0:20:01.400 --> 0:20:03.959
<v Speaker 2>something that I'm doing for myself, and now I've realized

0:20:04.000 --> 0:20:07.760
<v Speaker 2>it's actually part of not an obligation, but almost like

0:20:07.800 --> 0:20:10.040
<v Speaker 2>a commitment that you're also making to the people around

0:20:10.080 --> 0:20:13.920
<v Speaker 2>you in society, because you are choosing every single day,

0:20:13.920 --> 0:20:17.119
<v Speaker 2>whatever meditation you do, whatever practice you have, it's a

0:20:17.320 --> 0:20:20.480
<v Speaker 2>commitment to being a better person or creating a better

0:20:20.520 --> 0:20:23.159
<v Speaker 2>ripple effect into the world. So how I interact with

0:20:23.200 --> 0:20:26.920
<v Speaker 2>you every single day could depend on the practice that

0:20:26.960 --> 0:20:29.600
<v Speaker 2>I've had with myself, And how beautiful that you are

0:20:29.800 --> 0:20:32.600
<v Speaker 2>committing to being better. And if everybody chose to commit

0:20:32.640 --> 0:20:36.240
<v Speaker 2>to be better, just incrementally every single day, then imagine

0:20:36.280 --> 0:20:38.600
<v Speaker 2>how different art interaction can be. Imagine how different your

0:20:38.600 --> 0:20:41.520
<v Speaker 2>interaction with a stranger on the street is, or someone

0:20:41.520 --> 0:20:44.320
<v Speaker 2>comes with aggression and you're able to handle it calmly

0:20:44.680 --> 0:20:47.800
<v Speaker 2>and be collected and help to pacify them because maybe

0:20:47.840 --> 0:20:48.520
<v Speaker 2>they haven't done this.

0:20:48.800 --> 0:20:52.879
<v Speaker 1>And have compassion for them because they don't know any

0:20:52.960 --> 0:20:54.119
<v Speaker 1>other way exactly.

0:20:54.440 --> 0:20:56.159
<v Speaker 2>I know you mentioned it helped you to kind of

0:20:56.200 --> 0:20:58.399
<v Speaker 2>tune into you in a voice. Has there ever been

0:20:58.480 --> 0:21:01.640
<v Speaker 2>a point where you've heard or like felt your intuition

0:21:01.840 --> 0:21:04.359
<v Speaker 2>say something that felt really different to the way your

0:21:04.359 --> 0:21:06.239
<v Speaker 2>life was going, Like did you have you ever had

0:21:06.240 --> 0:21:08.280
<v Speaker 2>a moment of calling or a moment of connection where

0:21:08.320 --> 0:21:09.919
<v Speaker 2>we're like, oh my god, this means I have to

0:21:09.960 --> 0:21:12.280
<v Speaker 2>change my whole life, and I don't know whether I'm

0:21:12.320 --> 0:21:12.760
<v Speaker 2>ready for this.

0:21:13.240 --> 0:21:18.280
<v Speaker 1>I've kind of like really followed my intuition and it's

0:21:18.359 --> 0:21:22.399
<v Speaker 1>kind of like felt right like in that Like even

0:21:22.400 --> 0:21:25.520
<v Speaker 1>though so I've done many things like oh, I was like, Okay,

0:21:25.560 --> 0:21:28.000
<v Speaker 1>I want to write a book, and then I've written

0:21:28.000 --> 0:21:31.080
<v Speaker 1>a book for young girls Treasure Yourself, Empower Yourself, and

0:21:31.119 --> 0:21:34.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm supposed to be working on the next book, but

0:21:34.880 --> 0:21:38.440
<v Speaker 1>the time is something that I would love more fair time.

0:21:39.200 --> 0:21:41.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you do have four children and you also

0:21:41.480 --> 0:21:44.159
<v Speaker 2>have an incredible skinkilling. Yeah, You've got a lot going on.

0:21:44.320 --> 0:21:47.520
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, and I love I designed jewelry too, So

0:21:47.680 --> 0:21:51.760
<v Speaker 1>I designed this. This is it's called like you from

0:21:51.760 --> 0:21:54.959
<v Speaker 1>my heart to yours. So it's with an Australian company,

0:21:55.040 --> 0:21:58.720
<v Speaker 1>Michael and these little earrings, which is which is funny

0:21:58.720 --> 0:22:00.160
<v Speaker 1>because I can actually.

0:22:00.280 --> 0:22:02.600
<v Speaker 2>In them, like and I sleep in all my ear rings.

0:22:02.760 --> 0:22:05.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they're really comfortable. So I was like, you know

0:22:05.880 --> 0:22:07.280
<v Speaker 1>this is I never take these.

0:22:07.080 --> 0:22:10.879
<v Speaker 2>Off and really beautiful? Are they? Are they stones or

0:22:10.920 --> 0:22:11.320
<v Speaker 2>are they.

0:22:11.440 --> 0:22:12.640
<v Speaker 1>It's the lab grown diamonds.

0:22:12.680 --> 0:22:14.880
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, perfect, it's really beautiful.

0:22:15.080 --> 0:22:15.439
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:22:15.680 --> 0:22:17.399
<v Speaker 2>What do you feel like you're making more trying to

0:22:17.440 --> 0:22:19.240
<v Speaker 2>make more space for in your life? And you mentioned

0:22:19.240 --> 0:22:20.760
<v Speaker 2>the book, but is there anything that you're trying to

0:22:20.800 --> 0:22:21.960
<v Speaker 2>create more space for.

0:22:22.480 --> 0:22:25.320
<v Speaker 1>I really try to give quality time to each of

0:22:25.400 --> 0:22:29.760
<v Speaker 1>my children every day because I really see the importance

0:22:29.800 --> 0:22:33.720
<v Speaker 1>of that for the whole family, like having that one

0:22:33.760 --> 0:22:38.520
<v Speaker 1>on one time with them, being present, checking in with them,

0:22:38.560 --> 0:22:41.400
<v Speaker 1>like how are you doing? And I always ask them

0:22:41.600 --> 0:22:43.520
<v Speaker 1>how can I be a better mom? Is there anything

0:22:43.560 --> 0:22:46.040
<v Speaker 1>I could do that you wish I would do that

0:22:46.080 --> 0:22:46.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm not doing?

0:22:46.760 --> 0:22:47.520
<v Speaker 2>That's so sweet?

0:22:47.600 --> 0:22:52.120
<v Speaker 1>And I ask them because sometimes they're like, yeah, I'd

0:22:52.119 --> 0:22:55.239
<v Speaker 1>like to have more tea parties or something. It's like

0:22:55.560 --> 0:22:57.800
<v Speaker 1>sometimes it's like can you just stay with me until

0:22:57.800 --> 0:23:00.520
<v Speaker 1>I fall asleep? Which I end up doing every night, Like, oh,

0:23:00.560 --> 0:23:03.199
<v Speaker 1>my poor husband has to wait for me. It's just

0:23:03.280 --> 0:23:06.040
<v Speaker 1>important to listen because I think children are our future,

0:23:06.200 --> 0:23:09.879
<v Speaker 1>and I really want my children to just grow up

0:23:09.880 --> 0:23:11.919
<v Speaker 1>feeling I'll like get tiary, but I want them to

0:23:11.920 --> 0:23:15.639
<v Speaker 1>feel like loved and nurtured and like you know, accepted,

0:23:15.760 --> 0:23:19.600
<v Speaker 1>and like I feel like I love them unconditionally. So

0:23:20.440 --> 0:23:22.880
<v Speaker 1>I think about them and I tear up so my children,

0:23:22.960 --> 0:23:25.240
<v Speaker 1>I guess in my whole world and my family.

0:23:25.840 --> 0:23:27.479
<v Speaker 2>I love that you said you asked them, how can

0:23:27.520 --> 0:23:28.280
<v Speaker 2>I be a better mother?

0:23:28.560 --> 0:23:30.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? And I say the same thing to my husband too.

0:23:31.320 --> 0:23:33.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, is there anything I could be doing to

0:23:33.400 --> 0:23:36.840
<v Speaker 1>be a better partner to you? Because sometimes we think

0:23:36.880 --> 0:23:40.080
<v Speaker 1>that we're giving our partner or our children what they need,

0:23:40.160 --> 0:23:43.280
<v Speaker 1>but maybe we're just speaking through our love language. We're

0:23:43.320 --> 0:23:47.040
<v Speaker 1>not speaking through theirs. Like my love language is physical touch,

0:23:47.560 --> 0:23:50.640
<v Speaker 1>and two of my boys for sure a physical touch

0:23:50.680 --> 0:23:53.400
<v Speaker 1>as well. But my husband is acts of service, So

0:23:53.920 --> 0:23:56.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, I have to that like doesn't come naturally

0:23:56.440 --> 0:23:58.679
<v Speaker 1>to me, So I like have to like check in

0:23:58.720 --> 0:24:01.720
<v Speaker 1>with him, like everything you'd like me to do more of.

0:24:02.040 --> 0:24:04.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I was never in the practice of that, but

0:24:04.119 --> 0:24:06.400
<v Speaker 2>my husband did that from when we I think when

0:24:06.400 --> 0:24:09.000
<v Speaker 2>we first got married, and always used to be like, oh, wow,

0:24:09.359 --> 0:24:11.840
<v Speaker 2>he's actually asking me, And sometimes I wouldn't even know

0:24:12.200 --> 0:24:14.159
<v Speaker 2>how to respond because I wasn't even expecting him to

0:24:14.320 --> 0:24:17.240
<v Speaker 2>ask me that question. To I had to become more

0:24:17.280 --> 0:24:20.280
<v Speaker 2>aware of what I actually wanted or why you were

0:24:20.840 --> 0:24:23.720
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't even wick that. Yeah, And so it's such

0:24:23.720 --> 0:24:26.240
<v Speaker 2>a powerful question to ask, whether it's friends or family

0:24:26.320 --> 0:24:28.600
<v Speaker 2>or partner or children, to just know, how can I

0:24:28.600 --> 0:24:30.720
<v Speaker 2>show up for you better? And I think it's something

0:24:30.720 --> 0:24:33.199
<v Speaker 2>that I'm trying to implement. So I love that you've reiterated.

0:24:33.240 --> 0:24:37.960
<v Speaker 2>It's reminded me of that that need to deepen relationships.

0:24:37.960 --> 0:24:39.720
<v Speaker 2>It's like, how can I just need to ask a question?

0:24:39.760 --> 0:24:41.520
<v Speaker 2>How can I be better for you? Yeah? And it

0:24:41.560 --> 0:24:43.680
<v Speaker 2>can make such a difference, Yeah.

0:24:43.240 --> 0:24:46.000
<v Speaker 1>Because we can think that we're like I can be

0:24:46.119 --> 0:24:49.680
<v Speaker 1>sharing my husband with all this affection. Yeah, but it's

0:24:49.720 --> 0:24:52.320
<v Speaker 1>not it's not landing as much as if I'm like,

0:24:52.720 --> 0:24:55.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, doing doing more acts of service, do you

0:24:55.280 --> 0:24:57.640
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean? Like, obviously he loves the affection too,

0:24:57.720 --> 0:25:00.520
<v Speaker 1>but he's the way that he feels loved different to

0:25:00.560 --> 0:25:02.879
<v Speaker 1>the way I feel loved. So a lot of times

0:25:02.920 --> 0:25:05.760
<v Speaker 1>in relationships, we give to the person the way that

0:25:05.800 --> 0:25:08.800
<v Speaker 1>we want to be loved instead of what is it

0:25:08.880 --> 0:25:13.040
<v Speaker 1>that really makes them feel loved. I was thinking about Obviously,

0:25:13.119 --> 0:25:15.520
<v Speaker 1>we talked about your childhood and then I know that

0:25:15.560 --> 0:25:17.720
<v Speaker 1>you went into modeling at quite a young age. Yeah,

0:25:17.840 --> 0:25:20.760
<v Speaker 1>I think about it now, and I'm like, my son

0:25:20.880 --> 0:25:25.880
<v Speaker 1>is fifteen, and I started modeling at thirteen thirteen, and

0:25:26.160 --> 0:25:28.720
<v Speaker 1>my mom was with me on all my photo shoots

0:25:28.840 --> 0:25:33.320
<v Speaker 1>up until I was seventeen and traveled to Japan alone.

0:25:34.040 --> 0:25:36.200
<v Speaker 2>I was like, I seventeen.

0:25:35.840 --> 0:25:38.720
<v Speaker 1>Seventeen and at the time there were no mobile phones.

0:25:38.800 --> 0:25:42.720
<v Speaker 1>I had to call from a calling card. And yeah, how.

0:25:42.640 --> 0:25:44.879
<v Speaker 2>Did you start modeling? Was it something that you seeked

0:25:44.920 --> 0:25:46.480
<v Speaker 2>out or was it something that found you.

0:25:46.760 --> 0:25:49.280
<v Speaker 1>A friend of mine entered myself and herself into a

0:25:49.280 --> 0:25:52.520
<v Speaker 1>modeling competition and it was called Dolly Magazine, and it was

0:25:52.560 --> 0:25:55.720
<v Speaker 1>just like a young girl's magazine. And I actually won

0:25:56.200 --> 0:26:00.040
<v Speaker 1>that magazine like to cover girl, oh wow competition, And

0:26:00.400 --> 0:26:04.880
<v Speaker 1>it was really that that started the introduction to modeling.

0:26:04.960 --> 0:26:06.680
<v Speaker 1>But I never let it interfere with school, so I

0:26:06.760 --> 0:26:09.360
<v Speaker 1>made sure I graduated grade twelve, and then I went

0:26:09.400 --> 0:26:12.920
<v Speaker 1>on to travel to Japan and then Paris and Milan

0:26:13.000 --> 0:26:14.720
<v Speaker 1>and then New York and all these places.

0:26:15.119 --> 0:26:18.040
<v Speaker 2>How was that industry for you? Was the what was

0:26:18.080 --> 0:26:20.400
<v Speaker 2>the moment where you felt like, Wow, this is I've

0:26:20.440 --> 0:26:22.680
<v Speaker 2>actually really made it and I can't believe this is

0:26:22.760 --> 0:26:24.719
<v Speaker 2>my life? And then what was the moment where you

0:26:25.000 --> 0:26:27.720
<v Speaker 2>thought maybe this isn't Was there ever a moment where

0:26:27.720 --> 0:26:29.480
<v Speaker 2>you thought maybe this isn't what I want to do? Oh?

0:26:29.520 --> 0:26:31.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, there were plenty of times when I was like

0:26:31.119 --> 0:26:33.480
<v Speaker 1>I would call my dad. Remember calling my dad once

0:26:33.560 --> 0:26:36.520
<v Speaker 1>when I was living in Paris, and I was like, Dad,

0:26:36.920 --> 0:26:39.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, Like I really don't know if this

0:26:40.080 --> 0:26:42.040
<v Speaker 1>is what I meant to be doing because I want

0:26:42.080 --> 0:26:43.879
<v Speaker 1>to make a difference. I always knew I wanted to

0:26:43.920 --> 0:26:46.040
<v Speaker 1>make a difference to people's life. And I was like,

0:26:46.080 --> 0:26:49.199
<v Speaker 1>how am I making a difference to people's life? Like

0:26:49.240 --> 0:26:52.920
<v Speaker 1>by modeling? Like what am I actually doing? And He's like, Miranda,

0:26:53.000 --> 0:26:55.280
<v Speaker 1>every day you're making a difference by being you. You're

0:26:55.280 --> 0:26:58.160
<v Speaker 1>showing up to set, You're talking to these girls, You're

0:26:58.200 --> 0:27:01.600
<v Speaker 1>teaching them about health and wellness. And my mum had

0:27:01.600 --> 0:27:03.440
<v Speaker 1>a pillow from when I was young and would say,

0:27:03.880 --> 0:27:06.400
<v Speaker 1>let your little light shine. And so he's like you're

0:27:06.400 --> 0:27:08.919
<v Speaker 1>shining your light and doesn't matter what you're doing, you're

0:27:08.920 --> 0:27:10.680
<v Speaker 1>shining your light. And I was like, Okay, I'll take

0:27:10.680 --> 0:27:15.400
<v Speaker 1>this opportunity. I kept thinking, I'll save my money, take

0:27:15.400 --> 0:27:18.639
<v Speaker 1>the opportunity make I would make Hey while the sun

0:27:19.119 --> 0:27:24.600
<v Speaker 1>shines and create my own business afterwards. And that's what

0:27:24.640 --> 0:27:28.520
<v Speaker 1>I've done, and modeling gave me the opportunity to do that,

0:27:28.920 --> 0:27:31.360
<v Speaker 1>and it actually lasted a lot longer than I ever

0:27:31.760 --> 0:27:34.639
<v Speaker 1>expected it to. And I never expected that I would

0:27:34.760 --> 0:27:38.280
<v Speaker 1>ever be in the position that I was in as

0:27:38.320 --> 0:27:42.320
<v Speaker 1>a victoria Secret Angel, and to be the first Victoria's

0:27:42.320 --> 0:27:46.960
<v Speaker 1>Secret Angel Australian Victoria's Secret Angel. I remember I went

0:27:47.040 --> 0:27:50.840
<v Speaker 1>on a student exchange program with a couple of my friends,

0:27:51.040 --> 0:27:54.880
<v Speaker 1>Alison and Lauren, and we went on a student exchange

0:27:54.920 --> 0:27:59.240
<v Speaker 1>program from our town to Virginia. And it was so

0:27:59.400 --> 0:28:04.200
<v Speaker 1>funny because we were like fourteen, yeah, and we were

0:28:04.200 --> 0:28:07.920
<v Speaker 1>living in Virginia for three months on this exchange program

0:28:08.040 --> 0:28:13.160
<v Speaker 1>and my host parents took us to so many fun places,

0:28:13.200 --> 0:28:16.720
<v Speaker 1>like we went to Dollywood and then I saw Victoria's

0:28:16.720 --> 0:28:20.080
<v Speaker 1>Secret for the first time, and I remember thinking they

0:28:20.240 --> 0:28:23.080
<v Speaker 1>never had seen anything like that in Australia. There was

0:28:23.280 --> 0:28:26.440
<v Speaker 1>nothing remotely like that. So that was just like whoa,

0:28:27.000 --> 0:28:30.480
<v Speaker 1>And to think fast forward, how many years ahead there

0:28:30.520 --> 0:28:33.439
<v Speaker 1>I would be up there like it. That's just like

0:28:33.520 --> 0:28:36.040
<v Speaker 1>mind blowing to think because I would have never put

0:28:36.040 --> 0:28:40.960
<v Speaker 1>myself in that category. And so it was pretty surreal

0:28:41.120 --> 0:28:44.560
<v Speaker 1>that whole experience with Victoria's Secret and walking the runway.

0:28:44.800 --> 0:28:47.040
<v Speaker 1>But the funny thing about me is I'm kind of like,

0:28:47.960 --> 0:28:50.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if it's because I'm Australian. I'm like,

0:28:50.480 --> 0:28:53.760
<v Speaker 1>don't take myself too seriously. So I'm like, Okay, let's

0:28:53.800 --> 0:28:57.120
<v Speaker 1>just have fun with this and you know, enjoy it.

0:28:57.200 --> 0:28:59.640
<v Speaker 1>So I'm running, I'm walking down the runway and I'm

0:28:59.680 --> 0:29:03.600
<v Speaker 1>like hey, and like being cheeky and doing the week

0:29:03.640 --> 0:29:07.040
<v Speaker 1>at the end that everyone's like, oh, that's your signature thing.

0:29:07.160 --> 0:29:09.520
<v Speaker 1>I was like, that's just something that's part of my nature.

0:29:09.560 --> 0:29:13.800
<v Speaker 1>It's a little bit like Miles mischievous, cheeky. Yeah, we

0:29:13.840 --> 0:29:16.120
<v Speaker 1>do say cheeky all the time. And yeah, to be honest,

0:29:16.160 --> 0:29:18.080
<v Speaker 1>my grandma was a bit cheeky too, so I probably

0:29:18.120 --> 0:29:19.880
<v Speaker 1>got it from some family runs in the family.

0:29:19.960 --> 0:29:24.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, obviously modeling can be a very incredible but I'm

0:29:24.440 --> 0:29:27.719
<v Speaker 2>sure difficult, oh too. What would you say, were some

0:29:27.760 --> 0:29:30.440
<v Speaker 2>of the hardest moments during that that time of your life.

0:29:30.640 --> 0:29:35.200
<v Speaker 1>There's so much rejection. There's so much like so many no's.

0:29:35.360 --> 0:29:38.520
<v Speaker 1>So you walk around and you meet ample people and

0:29:38.600 --> 0:29:40.760
<v Speaker 1>no matter which city you're in, and you go to

0:29:40.840 --> 0:29:44.240
<v Speaker 1>multiple castings today and then you might get like one

0:29:44.320 --> 0:29:48.520
<v Speaker 1>callback after you've been to like thirty castings and the

0:29:48.560 --> 0:29:51.560
<v Speaker 1>rest are all knows. So there's a lot of like rejection.

0:29:51.720 --> 0:29:54.040
<v Speaker 1>But I always knew that it was a little bit

0:29:54.080 --> 0:29:56.320
<v Speaker 1>of like I'm going to just enjoy this opportunity and

0:29:56.360 --> 0:29:58.960
<v Speaker 1>see what comes from it. And lucky I had that

0:29:59.560 --> 0:30:02.400
<v Speaker 1>kind of strength from my upbringing that it was never

0:30:02.480 --> 0:30:04.440
<v Speaker 1>about what was on the outside, it was more about

0:30:04.440 --> 0:30:06.880
<v Speaker 1>what was on the inside. So I was like, I'm

0:30:06.920 --> 0:30:08.920
<v Speaker 1>just going to see where this takes me and if

0:30:08.960 --> 0:30:11.520
<v Speaker 1>this can like if I can continue to save money,

0:30:11.560 --> 0:30:13.640
<v Speaker 1>i might as well, because this is a short term

0:30:13.640 --> 0:30:15.400
<v Speaker 1>career and and then I just enjoy it while I

0:30:15.400 --> 0:30:19.680
<v Speaker 1>can and save money and see the world and experience

0:30:19.760 --> 0:30:24.160
<v Speaker 1>different cultures, like I remember first going to Japan and

0:30:24.400 --> 0:30:29.520
<v Speaker 1>I just absolutely love the culture. And how like when

0:30:29.560 --> 0:30:32.520
<v Speaker 1>you live somewhere your shoes are pointing in but then

0:30:32.520 --> 0:30:35.040
<v Speaker 1>when you're just a visitor. They're pointing out, like there's

0:30:35.080 --> 0:30:40.800
<v Speaker 1>these different normal traditions that I learned along the way, and.

0:30:40.080 --> 0:30:40.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't know it.

0:30:40.840 --> 0:30:43.240
<v Speaker 1>It's been a fun ride. It's also been one that

0:30:43.960 --> 0:30:47.280
<v Speaker 1>taught me a lot of resilience. Like there I had

0:30:47.320 --> 0:30:51.880
<v Speaker 1>to obviously miss a lot of my friends' weddings and

0:30:52.200 --> 0:30:55.880
<v Speaker 1>special events, because when you have a contract, you can't

0:30:55.920 --> 0:30:57.400
<v Speaker 1>just be like, oh, I'm out of here, like I've

0:30:57.400 --> 0:30:59.000
<v Speaker 1>got to go to a friend's wedding. No, you have

0:30:59.080 --> 0:31:00.640
<v Speaker 1>to be there and you show up. But I don't think.

0:31:00.920 --> 0:31:05.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't remember ever canceling like being sick and canceling

0:31:05.480 --> 0:31:06.520
<v Speaker 1>a modeling job.

0:31:06.600 --> 0:31:09.320
<v Speaker 2>Wow. Yeah, is such a commitment that you have to make.

0:31:09.560 --> 0:31:09.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:31:10.120 --> 0:31:13.640
<v Speaker 2>Would you say that you have always been a confident person.

0:31:14.080 --> 0:31:16.760
<v Speaker 2>I would say I was kind of like a bit

0:31:16.800 --> 0:31:19.120
<v Speaker 2>of both, Like I can be a little shy, which

0:31:19.160 --> 0:31:20.680
<v Speaker 2>is weird, but then I also have this side of

0:31:20.680 --> 0:31:24.120
<v Speaker 2>me that's like like whoo hi, so and then when

0:31:24.160 --> 0:31:26.200
<v Speaker 2>you look at my astrology chat, it has that so

0:31:26.240 --> 0:31:29.520
<v Speaker 2>it has like a cancer moon bit of Leo rising.

0:31:30.280 --> 0:31:32.360
<v Speaker 2>So I love being home and a homebody and I

0:31:32.560 --> 0:31:34.960
<v Speaker 2>can be like the little crab, but then the Leo

0:31:35.080 --> 0:31:38.320
<v Speaker 2>comes out and I'm like, there's no business like show

0:31:39.080 --> 0:31:42.480
<v Speaker 2>like in New York, just you know, having fun. Yeah.

0:31:42.480 --> 0:31:44.800
<v Speaker 2>But and so would you say being in the modeling

0:31:44.800 --> 0:31:50.080
<v Speaker 2>industry help to actually uncover and maintain your confidence or

0:31:50.480 --> 0:31:52.960
<v Speaker 2>if there were moments where you felt insecure, how is

0:31:53.080 --> 0:31:54.840
<v Speaker 2>how would you deal with that and how did you

0:31:54.920 --> 0:31:56.080
<v Speaker 2>kind of make it through?

0:31:56.920 --> 0:31:59.800
<v Speaker 1>I think modeling is the worst thing for your confidence

0:32:00.080 --> 0:32:04.520
<v Speaker 1>because you're constantly compared to other people, and then you

0:32:04.680 --> 0:32:08.040
<v Speaker 1>rejected for your appearance, right, And there was so much

0:32:08.040 --> 0:32:10.280
<v Speaker 1>rejection and for so long I was also put into

0:32:10.280 --> 0:32:15.560
<v Speaker 1>a category of the catalog model, like and then eventually

0:32:15.920 --> 0:32:18.239
<v Speaker 1>you get a breakthrough. I had a breakthrough where I

0:32:18.280 --> 0:32:22.200
<v Speaker 1>turned into fashion because Steven Mazell believed in me, and

0:32:23.040 --> 0:32:28.280
<v Speaker 1>another photographer, Willie vander Pier, and then obviously Nicholas Gesquier,

0:32:28.880 --> 0:32:31.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, who was at Balenciaga at the time. So

0:32:31.840 --> 0:32:34.840
<v Speaker 1>those people believed in me and they switched me from

0:32:34.880 --> 0:32:38.080
<v Speaker 1>like it was very it wasn't very common for a

0:32:38.120 --> 0:32:41.080
<v Speaker 1>catalog model to go into fashion, you know, and so

0:32:41.200 --> 0:32:42.959
<v Speaker 1>that was quite a big deal. So and then it

0:32:43.000 --> 0:32:46.920
<v Speaker 1>was fun being in fashion because it's much more creative

0:32:47.520 --> 0:32:51.480
<v Speaker 1>and it's much more about like you learn a lot

0:32:51.640 --> 0:32:55.000
<v Speaker 1>about but both were good. I mean, I mean the

0:32:55.040 --> 0:32:59.960
<v Speaker 1>catalog was was hard work as well, like the long hours.

0:33:00.040 --> 0:33:02.600
<v Speaker 2>In the industry where obviously so much just focused on

0:33:02.840 --> 0:33:07.480
<v Speaker 2>your external appearance and beauty on the outside. Has your

0:33:07.480 --> 0:33:11.320
<v Speaker 2>idea of beauty changed over time and as you've gotten older,

0:33:11.440 --> 0:33:14.000
<v Speaker 2>how has you know? How have you want obviously coming

0:33:14.040 --> 0:33:17.480
<v Speaker 2>out of the industry, been able to disconnect necessarily from

0:33:17.960 --> 0:33:21.120
<v Speaker 2>focusing so much on that, and has it affected you

0:33:21.200 --> 0:33:22.200
<v Speaker 2>as you've gotten older.

0:33:22.480 --> 0:33:26.920
<v Speaker 1>One funny thing happened to me when I was shooting.

0:33:27.360 --> 0:33:31.320
<v Speaker 1>It was like a Razor commercial or something in South Africa,

0:33:31.440 --> 0:33:35.400
<v Speaker 1>and the producer, the woman, she had so much confidence

0:33:35.600 --> 0:33:40.840
<v Speaker 1>and she had so much self love and it just

0:33:41.160 --> 0:33:44.320
<v Speaker 1>oozed out of her and she was way more attractive

0:33:44.360 --> 0:33:48.880
<v Speaker 1>than the really on paper picture you know girls that

0:33:48.920 --> 0:33:53.560
<v Speaker 1>I was working with for this commercial shoot, because she

0:33:53.720 --> 0:33:57.920
<v Speaker 1>genuinely had an appreciation for her soul. And that was

0:33:57.960 --> 0:34:00.960
<v Speaker 1>to me. I was like, wow, It's like it must

0:34:00.960 --> 0:34:04.320
<v Speaker 1>have been eighteen nineteen at the time, and I was like,

0:34:04.480 --> 0:34:07.760
<v Speaker 1>that's really what this is all about, because it's really

0:34:07.760 --> 0:34:11.799
<v Speaker 1>not pretty when you are not in touch with your soul.

0:34:12.320 --> 0:34:14.000
<v Speaker 1>And she was really in touch with her soul. And

0:34:14.480 --> 0:34:17.880
<v Speaker 1>she was not what you would typically say on paper

0:34:18.040 --> 0:34:20.040
<v Speaker 1>that someone would say, is you know.

0:34:20.239 --> 0:34:23.120
<v Speaker 2>What you would expect?

0:34:23.360 --> 0:34:27.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and then but her soul was so alluring, and

0:34:27.680 --> 0:34:31.600
<v Speaker 1>I realized we're all energetic beings, and we're all so different.

0:34:31.640 --> 0:34:35.719
<v Speaker 1>It's amazing to think that, you know, we each have

0:34:36.000 --> 0:34:39.680
<v Speaker 1>eyes and ears and mouth and a nose, and we're

0:34:39.719 --> 0:34:44.000
<v Speaker 1>all so uniquely different. Like imagine that, like and we

0:34:44.040 --> 0:34:46.640
<v Speaker 1>all have something uniquely different inside of us that we

0:34:46.719 --> 0:34:49.520
<v Speaker 1>need to bring to this world. And we're also interconnected

0:34:50.400 --> 0:34:53.439
<v Speaker 1>with each other definitely. You think about when someone walks

0:34:53.480 --> 0:34:55.719
<v Speaker 1>into a room. I always noticed this exactly what you

0:34:55.800 --> 0:34:58.200
<v Speaker 1>said about the leader you worked with. Where someone walks

0:34:58.200 --> 0:35:01.200
<v Speaker 1>into a room, and depending on how how they're carrying themselves,

0:35:01.239 --> 0:35:04.120
<v Speaker 1>how they're walking, the words that come out of their mouth,

0:35:04.200 --> 0:35:07.719
<v Speaker 1>the energy that they're carrying, it can completely transform someone's

0:35:07.920 --> 0:35:12.160
<v Speaker 1>physical appearance. Oh, just by how they're interacting with you,

0:35:12.400 --> 0:35:15.480
<v Speaker 1>just what you said, things that who's out of a person.

0:35:16.000 --> 0:35:17.839
<v Speaker 1>So it's not what you can see most of the time,

0:35:17.920 --> 0:35:20.920
<v Speaker 1>it's actually just how they make you feel, the energy

0:35:20.960 --> 0:35:24.040
<v Speaker 1>that they're bringing towards you, what you're saying about the connectedness.

0:35:24.080 --> 0:35:27.720
<v Speaker 1>It's like we are constantly exchanging and enuy each other. Yes,

0:35:27.760 --> 0:35:30.239
<v Speaker 1>and so eventually someone can be so beautiful and then

0:35:30.239 --> 0:35:33.040
<v Speaker 1>they open their mouth or you experience energy and you're like,

0:35:33.040 --> 0:35:36.480
<v Speaker 1>oh interesting, Yeah, and the same the other way around.

0:35:37.000 --> 0:35:38.920
<v Speaker 1>And so I think it's you know, I always I

0:35:38.960 --> 0:35:41.359
<v Speaker 1>love this quote that says, the least interesting thing about

0:35:41.400 --> 0:35:43.839
<v Speaker 1>you should be the way that you look. Yes, And

0:35:44.040 --> 0:35:44.959
<v Speaker 1>I was like, I couldn't agree.

0:35:45.120 --> 0:35:47.240
<v Speaker 2>It's so true. I mean, obviously, there are some incredibly

0:35:47.280 --> 0:35:50.320
<v Speaker 2>beautiful people in the world, and that's so wonderful to

0:35:50.360 --> 0:35:54.160
<v Speaker 2>appreciate that too, but at the same time, being able

0:35:54.200 --> 0:35:57.280
<v Speaker 2>to constantly remember that no one's going to think about

0:35:57.280 --> 0:36:00.719
<v Speaker 2>that when I'm on my deathbed then just thinking about that.

0:36:00.760 --> 0:36:03.840
<v Speaker 1>No one's thinking about that. They're thinking about the moments

0:36:03.880 --> 0:36:08.200
<v Speaker 1>that you share together. They're thinking about you know, how

0:36:08.239 --> 0:36:13.279
<v Speaker 1>you felt like I, yeah, that goes into a whole thing.

0:36:13.400 --> 0:36:17.560
<v Speaker 1>But I believe that we will eventually feel the way

0:36:17.600 --> 0:36:19.160
<v Speaker 1>we've made other people feel.

0:36:19.840 --> 0:36:20.560
<v Speaker 2>It's so true.

0:36:20.719 --> 0:36:23.279
<v Speaker 1>So it's really important to be conscious of like the

0:36:23.280 --> 0:36:25.799
<v Speaker 1>way we treat every single person that we ever come

0:36:25.840 --> 0:36:26.520
<v Speaker 1>into contact with.

0:36:26.680 --> 0:36:29.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I completely agree. And you obviously went from modeling

0:36:30.000 --> 0:36:32.600
<v Speaker 2>to now becoming an entrepreneur Yeah, obviously still linked to

0:36:32.600 --> 0:36:36.200
<v Speaker 2>beauty because you're in skincare, but a completely different angle.

0:36:37.200 --> 0:36:39.719
<v Speaker 2>Could you share a little bit about core organics and

0:36:40.120 --> 0:36:42.279
<v Speaker 2>tell me how you went into it and what brought

0:36:42.320 --> 0:36:43.920
<v Speaker 2>you to creating these products.

0:36:44.120 --> 0:36:47.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I started Korra because when I was a teenager,

0:36:47.400 --> 0:36:49.400
<v Speaker 1>my mum was diagnosed with tumors in a spleen.

0:36:49.680 --> 0:36:50.080
<v Speaker 2>Wow.

0:36:50.520 --> 0:36:52.600
<v Speaker 1>So as a family, we had to look at everything

0:36:52.640 --> 0:36:55.799
<v Speaker 1>that we were obviously ingesting and also what we were

0:36:55.840 --> 0:36:59.000
<v Speaker 1>putting on our skin and what products we were using

0:36:59.080 --> 0:37:02.239
<v Speaker 1>and you know, every what packaged goods we were had

0:37:02.280 --> 0:37:05.680
<v Speaker 1>in our home, and so we went through a whole overhaul,

0:37:05.880 --> 0:37:08.120
<v Speaker 1>and through that process, we realized that what you put

0:37:08.160 --> 0:37:10.080
<v Speaker 1>on your skin syncs in and the skin is the

0:37:10.160 --> 0:37:12.799
<v Speaker 1>largest organ So it was really important for us to

0:37:12.880 --> 0:37:16.680
<v Speaker 1>be using products that were natural. But I also wanted

0:37:16.680 --> 0:37:20.080
<v Speaker 1>products that were effective and results driven. So I was

0:37:20.120 --> 0:37:22.200
<v Speaker 1>like talking to a friend of mine and I said,

0:37:22.239 --> 0:37:24.440
<v Speaker 1>do you really do you think it's possible to create

0:37:24.600 --> 0:37:28.160
<v Speaker 1>like certified organic? Because I know that an organic ingredient

0:37:28.760 --> 0:37:31.960
<v Speaker 1>has up to sixty percent more antioxidants right than a

0:37:32.000 --> 0:37:35.080
<v Speaker 1>non organic ingredient. Not only does it not get sprayed

0:37:35.120 --> 0:37:39.640
<v Speaker 1>with the unnecessary pesticides, but it also has that abundance

0:37:39.640 --> 0:37:42.560
<v Speaker 1>more antioxidants, which is why weird organic food. So I

0:37:42.600 --> 0:37:46.600
<v Speaker 1>was like, how amazing would it be to create products

0:37:46.840 --> 0:37:49.759
<v Speaker 1>that were truly certified organic? And this was back in

0:37:49.800 --> 0:37:53.440
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and six. Oh wow, that's twenty years ago. Yeah,

0:37:53.600 --> 0:37:54.680
<v Speaker 1>I wonder, I'm tired.

0:37:54.880 --> 0:37:58.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, yeah, I'm like, you were thinking about it

0:37:58.160 --> 0:38:00.280
<v Speaker 2>before it became before trendy.

0:38:00.080 --> 0:38:02.719
<v Speaker 1>Before clean beauty was the thing. So now you know,

0:38:03.040 --> 0:38:04.799
<v Speaker 1>there is a lot to be said, and I think

0:38:04.840 --> 0:38:08.160
<v Speaker 1>it's great that the conversation is happening and that people

0:38:08.200 --> 0:38:12.360
<v Speaker 1>are educating themselves and there's great places where people can search,

0:38:12.560 --> 0:38:16.040
<v Speaker 1>like EWG. But from day one, I wanted to have

0:38:16.200 --> 0:38:19.320
<v Speaker 1>a product that was certified organic. So we're certified organic

0:38:19.360 --> 0:38:25.000
<v Speaker 1>through the World Certification Cosmos ECOST, which really is a

0:38:25.120 --> 0:38:28.160
<v Speaker 1>very strict certification that you can have. So you don't

0:38:28.160 --> 0:38:29.560
<v Speaker 1>have to take my word for it. You know that

0:38:29.600 --> 0:38:31.440
<v Speaker 1>they're the one. They're the ones that have done the

0:38:31.480 --> 0:38:35.640
<v Speaker 1>research and they ordered everything that we do, from our

0:38:35.640 --> 0:38:40.000
<v Speaker 1>manufacturers to everything that's written on the packaging, to obviously

0:38:40.200 --> 0:38:44.759
<v Speaker 1>our ingredients sourcing to Yeah, I mean it's a very

0:38:45.000 --> 0:38:48.319
<v Speaker 1>hard process, which is why I think we're still one

0:38:48.320 --> 0:38:51.640
<v Speaker 1>of the very few people like, well, it's fully organic.

0:38:51.719 --> 0:38:53.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, tell me about Cora. What does Kora mean?

0:38:54.120 --> 0:38:57.799
<v Speaker 1>It's about like your mind, body and spirit. That was

0:38:57.840 --> 0:39:01.399
<v Speaker 1>the intention, like your core self. But then we did

0:39:01.480 --> 0:39:03.960
<v Speaker 1>Korra with a K because my last name was k

0:39:04.280 --> 0:39:06.840
<v Speaker 1>and it just it just felt right, and it was

0:39:06.840 --> 0:39:08.520
<v Speaker 1>one of those things when we were playing around with

0:39:08.600 --> 0:39:11.920
<v Speaker 1>names and I was like, oh, core Cora, Cora with

0:39:12.040 --> 0:39:14.200
<v Speaker 1>a C, I Cora with a K, and ill you

0:39:14.200 --> 0:39:17.719
<v Speaker 1>remember as well, Oh, this feels right. Really resonated with me,

0:39:18.680 --> 0:39:21.000
<v Speaker 1>and I wanted to make sure organics was on there

0:39:21.120 --> 0:39:24.640
<v Speaker 1>just because it really does set it apart and it's

0:39:24.680 --> 0:39:27.640
<v Speaker 1>what I was personally looking for. And from day one,

0:39:27.680 --> 0:39:31.319
<v Speaker 1>the products have been filtered through rose quartz crystals. So

0:39:31.400 --> 0:39:34.200
<v Speaker 1>every product is filtered through rose quartz crystals in the

0:39:34.200 --> 0:39:39.680
<v Speaker 1>manufacturing process because I really believe in the energy and

0:39:39.719 --> 0:39:42.759
<v Speaker 1>it's not for the efficacious benefits. It's just as an

0:39:42.840 --> 0:39:46.200
<v Speaker 1>an addition for me to give my love, like put

0:39:46.200 --> 0:39:49.080
<v Speaker 1>my love into the products. I mean, that's an extra

0:39:49.160 --> 0:39:53.600
<v Speaker 1>step that I'm sure isn't necessary. Yeah, but it's what

0:39:53.719 --> 0:39:56.040
<v Speaker 1>I wanted because I wanted it to nourish your mind.

0:39:56.080 --> 0:39:57.799
<v Speaker 1>Your body and your skin when you're use in it.

0:39:57.880 --> 0:40:02.520
<v Speaker 1>And so we use essential oils in our no fragrance

0:40:02.680 --> 0:40:06.560
<v Speaker 1>obviously for their therapeutic benefits, but also their skin benefits.

0:40:06.640 --> 0:40:10.920
<v Speaker 1>So this one, as I was saying, the chimric cleanser,

0:40:11.000 --> 0:40:13.960
<v Speaker 1>we sell one every nine minute. People are obsessed with

0:40:14.040 --> 0:40:17.120
<v Speaker 1>it because it has the peppermint essential oil in there,

0:40:17.719 --> 0:40:19.840
<v Speaker 1>and it has Palo Santo in there, and then it

0:40:19.840 --> 0:40:22.799
<v Speaker 1>obviously has the chimeric for the brightening effects. But when

0:40:22.800 --> 0:40:26.280
<v Speaker 1>you use it in the morning, it's such a beautiful, invigorating,

0:40:26.400 --> 0:40:30.320
<v Speaker 1>spar like experience. So you're cleansing your face with the

0:40:30.360 --> 0:40:32.439
<v Speaker 1>Palo santo, you're cleansing your energy as well.

0:40:32.680 --> 0:40:35.880
<v Speaker 2>Smells make such a difference. My favorite thing about skincare

0:40:35.920 --> 0:40:39.319
<v Speaker 2>routine is the smells and the experience that you get

0:40:39.440 --> 0:40:40.799
<v Speaker 2>at the beginning of the day and at the end

0:40:40.800 --> 0:40:43.239
<v Speaker 2>of the night. Skincare is one of my favorite things

0:40:43.280 --> 0:40:43.480
<v Speaker 2>to do.

0:40:43.600 --> 0:40:44.320
<v Speaker 1>It's amazing.

0:40:44.320 --> 0:40:45.959
<v Speaker 2>It's the best way to feel like you're giving yourself

0:40:45.960 --> 0:40:48.200
<v Speaker 2>a little bit of luxury in your day. And this also,

0:40:48.320 --> 0:40:51.160
<v Speaker 2>this one has also in there. This is a minti mist,

0:40:51.200 --> 0:40:53.920
<v Speaker 2>so it has the So I do love peppermint, and

0:40:53.960 --> 0:40:56.600
<v Speaker 2>I've heard you love peppermint and palo sander, so it

0:40:56.680 --> 0:40:57.760
<v Speaker 2>clears your.

0:40:57.680 --> 0:41:00.000
<v Speaker 1>Energy and oh so nice. Thanks, I need some much

0:41:00.000 --> 0:41:02.120
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes I spray that all my kids when they get home.

0:41:02.160 --> 0:41:04.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, okay, let's just do a little reset.

0:41:05.160 --> 0:41:10.160
<v Speaker 2>Oh that smells amazing active algae, minty miss or I

0:41:10.200 --> 0:41:14.040
<v Speaker 2>love peppermintman everywhere. Same on my stomach, yeah, in my

0:41:14.080 --> 0:41:15.959
<v Speaker 2>head when I've got a headache, Oh, I do the same.

0:41:16.560 --> 0:41:18.160
<v Speaker 1>And then on the back of the bottle there's a

0:41:18.200 --> 0:41:20.799
<v Speaker 1>positive word. So on the back of the Nony glow face,

0:41:20.840 --> 0:41:23.800
<v Speaker 1>well is bliss. So it's just like a little reminder

0:41:23.920 --> 0:41:27.840
<v Speaker 1>because every word is every word that we think is

0:41:27.840 --> 0:41:31.520
<v Speaker 1>so powerful. Every it's a vibration, and so I wanted

0:41:31.560 --> 0:41:35.360
<v Speaker 1>to bless them with not only crystals, but also with

0:41:35.520 --> 0:41:40.000
<v Speaker 1>the positive words. So, yeah, you mentioned nony Nony. Oh

0:41:40.440 --> 0:41:43.239
<v Speaker 1>so actually niney is a key ingredient across the whole range.

0:41:43.239 --> 0:41:46.200
<v Speaker 1>So every product contains ninny, which is a superfood superfruit.

0:41:46.239 --> 0:41:48.479
<v Speaker 2>I'm pretty sure most people will not have heard of nony,

0:41:48.560 --> 0:41:49.840
<v Speaker 2>So share a little bit about it.

0:41:49.920 --> 0:41:52.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think I'm the only skincare range that has nonetfit.

0:41:53.040 --> 0:41:55.040
<v Speaker 1>It has over one hundred vitamins and minerals.

0:41:55.120 --> 0:41:56.359
<v Speaker 2>Wow, where does it originate from?

0:41:56.520 --> 0:41:59.400
<v Speaker 1>Tahiti? But there it is grown in parts of Australia

0:41:59.400 --> 0:42:03.720
<v Speaker 1>as well. And actually on my honeymoon with my husband,

0:42:04.400 --> 0:42:09.799
<v Speaker 1>we had nony like fresh nony, and it doesn't it's

0:42:09.880 --> 0:42:13.480
<v Speaker 1>not that delicous fruits. It's a fruit. Yeah, they call

0:42:13.520 --> 0:42:17.719
<v Speaker 1>it the cheese fruit. It's been been used in Polynesia

0:42:17.800 --> 0:42:22.640
<v Speaker 1>for so long just as like a wonderful way to

0:42:23.480 --> 0:42:27.440
<v Speaker 1>kind of boost your immune system, and it has so

0:42:27.480 --> 0:42:30.880
<v Speaker 1>many benefits, and it's something my grandmother introduced me to

0:42:31.760 --> 0:42:33.799
<v Speaker 1>and I would have a little shot of noni and

0:42:33.840 --> 0:42:36.000
<v Speaker 1>now I still have a little shot of nony and

0:42:36.080 --> 0:42:38.520
<v Speaker 1>my kids go on and off it. The baby actually

0:42:38.680 --> 0:42:41.160
<v Speaker 1>likes it right now, so that's good. He's like nony

0:42:41.280 --> 0:42:43.960
<v Speaker 1>non In the morning, I have my nony and I

0:42:44.000 --> 0:42:44.640
<v Speaker 1>have my coffee.

0:42:44.680 --> 0:42:46.080
<v Speaker 2>And one are the benefits for your skin.

0:42:46.960 --> 0:42:49.799
<v Speaker 1>So it's really great for your skin because it is

0:42:50.400 --> 0:42:57.319
<v Speaker 1>basically very anti inflammatory, anti my microubial. And so I

0:42:57.440 --> 0:42:59.799
<v Speaker 1>used to put nony directly on my skin like if

0:42:59.800 --> 0:43:01.120
<v Speaker 1>I have had a pimple or if I had a

0:43:01.160 --> 0:43:05.480
<v Speaker 1>son burn, and it would really help me with my skin.

0:43:05.600 --> 0:43:07.880
<v Speaker 1>And so when I started Korra, I said, I want,

0:43:07.960 --> 0:43:10.640
<v Speaker 1>no need to be the key ingredient. And when we

0:43:10.719 --> 0:43:14.520
<v Speaker 1>first made the samples, it smelt terrible because of the nony,

0:43:14.560 --> 0:43:17.400
<v Speaker 1>the way the nony smelt. But then obviously we found

0:43:17.440 --> 0:43:19.719
<v Speaker 1>a way to freeze dry it and get the benefits

0:43:19.760 --> 0:43:22.280
<v Speaker 1>without the smell. What is thenony?

0:43:22.520 --> 0:43:24.799
<v Speaker 2>That's incredible? What what would you say is one of

0:43:24.800 --> 0:43:26.880
<v Speaker 2>the things while you've been going through this process of

0:43:26.920 --> 0:43:30.040
<v Speaker 2>creating Quorra that was the most surprising about the skincare

0:43:30.040 --> 0:43:32.000
<v Speaker 2>industry that you feel people don't really know about.

0:43:32.400 --> 0:43:35.520
<v Speaker 1>I think so many people just assume that products that

0:43:35.560 --> 0:43:39.200
<v Speaker 1>are on this cell the shelf is safe, and that's

0:43:39.200 --> 0:43:42.040
<v Speaker 1>what we assumed. And then when we read the fine

0:43:42.040 --> 0:43:44.560
<v Speaker 1>print and I had this little book called the Chemical Maze,

0:43:45.120 --> 0:43:49.640
<v Speaker 1>that's when we realized that there's so many unnecessary ingredients

0:43:50.000 --> 0:43:52.440
<v Speaker 1>that are in these products that we're exposed to and

0:43:52.560 --> 0:43:54.279
<v Speaker 1>using every day, And there is so much that we

0:43:54.320 --> 0:43:57.600
<v Speaker 1>can't control, like the pollution outside, But there are so

0:43:57.640 --> 0:44:00.440
<v Speaker 1>many things we can control. And that's why when we're regnant,

0:44:00.560 --> 0:44:02.840
<v Speaker 1>we're told I'll be aware of what you put on

0:44:02.840 --> 0:44:05.000
<v Speaker 1>your skin, But why shouldn't we be aware all the

0:44:05.040 --> 0:44:07.240
<v Speaker 1>time of what we're putting on our skin? And choose

0:44:07.280 --> 0:44:10.920
<v Speaker 1>products that can give you results that you need but

0:44:11.000 --> 0:44:14.160
<v Speaker 1>are also healthy for you. And so our products we

0:44:15.120 --> 0:44:17.319
<v Speaker 1>test as well for the you know, to make sure

0:44:17.320 --> 0:44:20.520
<v Speaker 1>that there are results driven and so for instance, with

0:44:20.600 --> 0:44:25.239
<v Speaker 1>our plant stem cell retinal alternative products, we tested die

0:44:25.280 --> 0:44:28.440
<v Speaker 1>hard retinal fans and eighty five percent said they got

0:44:28.520 --> 0:44:33.120
<v Speaker 1>better results using my plant stem cell retinal alternative, better

0:44:33.160 --> 0:44:36.240
<v Speaker 1>and more powerful results than traditional retinal without the dryness,

0:44:36.239 --> 0:44:38.480
<v Speaker 1>without the irritation. And they can use it morning and night,

0:44:39.320 --> 0:44:42.920
<v Speaker 1>and it helps support the skin cellular turnover. It helps

0:44:43.000 --> 0:44:45.880
<v Speaker 1>plump the skin. It helps with fine lines and wrinkles.

0:44:46.000 --> 0:44:48.360
<v Speaker 1>It helps with the you should see the necks, the

0:44:48.440 --> 0:44:51.280
<v Speaker 1>neck picture before and after on the fine lines and wrinkles.

0:44:51.280 --> 0:44:55.320
<v Speaker 2>It's pretty wild. What's your morning skin care routine? And

0:44:55.360 --> 0:44:56.839
<v Speaker 2>then you eating skin care routine.

0:44:57.360 --> 0:45:03.120
<v Speaker 1>Take a while morning cleansed in the shower with the

0:45:03.160 --> 0:45:05.680
<v Speaker 1>Chimeric foaming cleans that it's like a breath of fresh

0:45:05.719 --> 0:45:09.520
<v Speaker 1>air is so invigorating. It's like it just like wakes

0:45:09.560 --> 0:45:13.920
<v Speaker 1>you up, and it's like something that I would really miss,

0:45:13.960 --> 0:45:17.359
<v Speaker 1>Like I just I really look forward to it. And

0:45:17.400 --> 0:45:19.960
<v Speaker 1>then I'll use the Chimmerike scrub. If you haven't used

0:45:19.960 --> 0:45:22.560
<v Speaker 1>that that is, Like, my husband uses that every day

0:45:22.600 --> 0:45:24.919
<v Speaker 1>because he has drys skin. I use it every other

0:45:25.000 --> 0:45:29.080
<v Speaker 1>day because it's like a microdermabrasion scrub that you can

0:45:29.120 --> 0:45:31.480
<v Speaker 1>really dictate how aggressive you want to go with it

0:45:31.560 --> 0:45:33.560
<v Speaker 1>or how gentle you want to go with it. And

0:45:33.640 --> 0:45:36.840
<v Speaker 1>it's got these little rose hip seeds in there that

0:45:37.000 --> 0:45:39.480
<v Speaker 1>gently sloth away the dead skin cells and has turmeric

0:45:39.560 --> 0:45:42.080
<v Speaker 1>in there. So I believe in ingredients that are like

0:45:42.160 --> 0:45:45.600
<v Speaker 1>superfoods that will put the nutrients back into your skin.

0:45:46.280 --> 0:45:49.320
<v Speaker 1>And that's kind of why I love incorporating those ingredients

0:45:49.360 --> 0:45:51.440
<v Speaker 1>like the chimrik in the noni and then the Kakadoo

0:45:51.480 --> 0:45:54.080
<v Speaker 1>plum which is an ingredient that high in vitamin C

0:45:54.480 --> 0:45:57.160
<v Speaker 1>from Australia and my mum used to give me the

0:45:57.200 --> 0:46:01.480
<v Speaker 1>Kackadoo plum powder as a kid. Anyway, So after I

0:46:01.560 --> 0:46:04.040
<v Speaker 1>cleanse my skin and do all that, I missed it

0:46:04.680 --> 0:46:06.319
<v Speaker 1>and then I'll put a serum on. So I'll put

0:46:06.360 --> 0:46:11.160
<v Speaker 1>on the vitamin C serum. Sometimes I'll you know, put

0:46:11.200 --> 0:46:14.919
<v Speaker 1>on we have a turmeric nice cinamide as well, which

0:46:14.960 --> 0:46:17.239
<v Speaker 1>is really amazing. So I'll do those two and then

0:46:17.239 --> 0:46:21.120
<v Speaker 1>I'll do my trimric in the morning. Chimeric moisturizer, which

0:46:21.120 --> 0:46:25.600
<v Speaker 1>is actually Katie Perry's favorite moisturizer, and then she keeps

0:46:25.600 --> 0:46:28.680
<v Speaker 1>it with her everywhere, and the Nonyglow face oil, and

0:46:28.719 --> 0:46:31.440
<v Speaker 1>then I'll do the Vitamin C I cream and then

0:46:31.480 --> 0:46:34.759
<v Speaker 1>the eye oil. So that's the morning routine. And then

0:46:34.800 --> 0:46:39.320
<v Speaker 1>at night we have an active algae calming cleansing bomb,

0:46:39.760 --> 0:46:44.239
<v Speaker 1>which is so like it's so like it reminds me.

0:46:44.320 --> 0:46:48.880
<v Speaker 1>It kind of ties into like this milky cleansing bomb

0:46:49.200 --> 0:46:51.799
<v Speaker 1>that I feel like Cleopatra when I'm wiping washing off

0:46:51.840 --> 0:46:54.920
<v Speaker 1>my makeup. It's like really beautiful. And then I'll double

0:46:54.920 --> 0:46:59.360
<v Speaker 1>cleans using that cleanser again because I'm addicted. And then

0:46:59.520 --> 0:47:03.120
<v Speaker 1>I will well, I have a body wash as well.

0:47:03.239 --> 0:47:04.800
<v Speaker 1>Body wash, and then I get out of the shower

0:47:04.840 --> 0:47:07.640
<v Speaker 1>and I'll do body lotion and body oil. My body

0:47:07.640 --> 0:47:09.960
<v Speaker 1>oil is like a dream come true. It is the

0:47:09.960 --> 0:47:13.200
<v Speaker 1>most luxurious body oil that I've ever come across. You

0:47:13.239 --> 0:47:13.759
<v Speaker 1>would love it.

0:47:13.840 --> 0:47:15.000
<v Speaker 2>I love body oil. I do.

0:47:15.200 --> 0:47:16.759
<v Speaker 1>I have and I put it everywhere in between my

0:47:16.840 --> 0:47:19.960
<v Speaker 1>toes and all my joints and so good everywhere.

0:47:20.000 --> 0:47:23.240
<v Speaker 2>It's one of my favorite reds. He's doing a body

0:47:23.280 --> 0:47:25.680
<v Speaker 2>oil after I read it calls it up younger, and

0:47:25.760 --> 0:47:28.600
<v Speaker 2>just this process of coming out of the shower, Yes,

0:47:28.760 --> 0:47:31.040
<v Speaker 2>when your skin is ready to absorb all the nutrients.

0:47:31.080 --> 0:47:34.160
<v Speaker 2>That's why it's so important what you've said about. You know,

0:47:34.280 --> 0:47:36.600
<v Speaker 2>we think about pesticides and all these things when it

0:47:36.640 --> 0:47:39.560
<v Speaker 2>comes to what we're feeding ourselves, but actually you put

0:47:39.600 --> 0:47:42.440
<v Speaker 2>onto your skin is exactly the same. And so as

0:47:42.440 --> 0:47:44.440
<v Speaker 2>I come out the shower, I usually do exactly that.

0:47:44.560 --> 0:47:47.399
<v Speaker 2>I have this like women's energy oil that I use

0:47:47.440 --> 0:47:49.680
<v Speaker 2>at the moment, and I just lather it on me.

0:47:50.120 --> 0:47:52.560
<v Speaker 2>It's such a wonderful ritual. It's I love. It's so

0:47:52.800 --> 0:47:55.960
<v Speaker 2>what you said about physical touch, even doing that for yourself,

0:47:56.480 --> 0:48:00.080
<v Speaker 2>So it's such a lovely process of remind of on

0:48:00.239 --> 0:48:02.879
<v Speaker 2>coming back into touch with your physical body after having

0:48:02.880 --> 0:48:05.400
<v Speaker 2>such a long day or when you're feeling hectic and busy.

0:48:05.880 --> 0:48:09.440
<v Speaker 2>I find going into a hot shower water is so cleansing.

0:48:10.200 --> 0:48:11.759
<v Speaker 2>That's why the meditation that you said you do with

0:48:11.800 --> 0:48:14.880
<v Speaker 2>your side, there is something about water falling on you

0:48:14.920 --> 0:48:18.720
<v Speaker 2>that helps to release so much mass, energy, tension, same

0:48:18.920 --> 0:48:21.600
<v Speaker 2>and then coming out and reminding yourself you are physically

0:48:21.680 --> 0:48:23.320
<v Speaker 2>here by just putting a little bit of oil on

0:48:23.360 --> 0:48:26.279
<v Speaker 2>your body yes, it can completely change your energy in

0:48:26.320 --> 0:48:29.120
<v Speaker 2>your mood. If I've had a really heavy day, doing

0:48:29.160 --> 0:48:32.839
<v Speaker 2>that process, just those two things can completely shift out feed.

0:48:32.960 --> 0:48:34.520
<v Speaker 2>Oh it does. It sounds so small, but when you

0:48:34.600 --> 0:48:37.920
<v Speaker 2>end up doing it, you're like, wow, God that I realized.

0:48:37.920 --> 0:48:40.640
<v Speaker 1>This just makes such a difference. And I love it

0:48:40.680 --> 0:48:43.600
<v Speaker 1>that they have a younger. You're in all the joints.

0:48:43.680 --> 0:48:45.560
<v Speaker 1>And I do it to my baby too, and he

0:48:45.640 --> 0:48:50.080
<v Speaker 1>loves it. A little baby massage. Oh, massage his legs.

0:48:50.160 --> 0:48:54.680
<v Speaker 2>He's a little feet and he's like he's ten and

0:48:54.680 --> 0:48:56.880
<v Speaker 2>he's still like, can I have a little massage. I'm like,

0:48:56.960 --> 0:48:58.440
<v Speaker 2>of course, you can. Growing pain.

0:48:59.320 --> 0:49:01.440
<v Speaker 1>My other boy are not as much, not as much

0:49:01.480 --> 0:49:02.880
<v Speaker 1>into it, but they were when they were little. So

0:49:02.920 --> 0:49:05.160
<v Speaker 1>I've used that oil on them from birth when they

0:49:05.160 --> 0:49:07.759
<v Speaker 1>were little. And my two year old still loves it.

0:49:08.000 --> 0:49:10.040
<v Speaker 1>And then he when we like because I often take

0:49:10.040 --> 0:49:11.840
<v Speaker 1>a bath with him and then we get out and

0:49:11.840 --> 0:49:13.560
<v Speaker 1>I'll like put the oil on him, and then he's

0:49:13.560 --> 0:49:15.680
<v Speaker 1>like mummy and he'll like start putting on me, and

0:49:15.719 --> 0:49:17.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, yes, Mummy's down now.

0:49:17.920 --> 0:49:19.440
<v Speaker 2>It's just a nice practice to do together.

0:49:19.640 --> 0:49:20.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:49:20.239 --> 0:49:23.000
<v Speaker 2>Is there anything right now that you are working on

0:49:23.200 --> 0:49:25.560
<v Speaker 2>or are really excited about bringing out, whether it's with

0:49:25.680 --> 0:49:27.840
<v Speaker 2>Cora or in other parts of your life.

0:49:28.000 --> 0:49:30.640
<v Speaker 1>I have quite a few things, so I make teacups

0:49:30.640 --> 0:49:34.200
<v Speaker 1>as well. So how I have the teacups and jewelry

0:49:34.280 --> 0:49:37.560
<v Speaker 1>that I that I make, I'm just the you know,

0:49:37.640 --> 0:49:41.720
<v Speaker 1>the designer for those and the teacups or the Australiana Collection.

0:49:42.040 --> 0:49:44.279
<v Speaker 1>Actually bought you a teacup, which I'll show you.

0:49:44.440 --> 0:49:46.640
<v Speaker 2>I love tea so much as you tell yes.

0:49:47.320 --> 0:49:50.399
<v Speaker 1>With Cora, it's just I'm at this stage where I'm

0:49:50.440 --> 0:49:52.680
<v Speaker 1>trying to get it out there more because for so

0:49:52.719 --> 0:49:56.160
<v Speaker 1>many years during Cora's life, I've been pregnant, and so

0:49:56.200 --> 0:49:59.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to now make people aware that there's something

0:49:59.520 --> 0:50:02.440
<v Speaker 1>out there that you can get incredible results from and

0:50:02.480 --> 0:50:05.040
<v Speaker 1>look online at the before and after see the results

0:50:05.520 --> 0:50:07.520
<v Speaker 1>and you don't have to compromise your health. And I

0:50:07.560 --> 0:50:10.800
<v Speaker 1>think that people deserve that. Like it's been my passion project,

0:50:11.440 --> 0:50:14.760
<v Speaker 1>Cora Organics, It's not it hasn't been like a business

0:50:14.800 --> 0:50:17.560
<v Speaker 1>minded project. It's really been a labor of love that

0:50:17.600 --> 0:50:20.040
<v Speaker 1>I want to give and share with people. I haven't

0:50:20.040 --> 0:50:22.879
<v Speaker 1>taken a cent out of the company. I've just reinvested

0:50:22.920 --> 0:50:25.880
<v Speaker 1>it so that I can create, you know, a better

0:50:25.920 --> 0:50:30.920
<v Speaker 1>team and better products and more testing, more, you know,

0:50:31.120 --> 0:50:35.080
<v Speaker 1>so that we can really show people that they can

0:50:35.120 --> 0:50:37.239
<v Speaker 1>get the benefits they need in a way that's not

0:50:37.320 --> 0:50:41.440
<v Speaker 1>detrimental to their health. So it's really about getting that

0:50:41.520 --> 0:50:44.080
<v Speaker 1>out more for me right now, and then obviously working

0:50:44.080 --> 0:50:46.480
<v Speaker 1>on the book with my son, and then you know,

0:50:46.520 --> 0:50:50.000
<v Speaker 1>maybe getting these meditations out that I just recorded and

0:50:50.040 --> 0:50:53.000
<v Speaker 1>maybe doing more of that, because I find that something

0:50:53.040 --> 0:50:58.719
<v Speaker 1>that really lights me up is kind of meditating and

0:50:59.239 --> 0:51:01.880
<v Speaker 1>sharing with especially with children.

0:51:02.200 --> 0:51:05.520
<v Speaker 2>There's something so special about as soon as you find

0:51:05.520 --> 0:51:08.080
<v Speaker 2>something that really helps you, whether it is your skin care,

0:51:08.080 --> 0:51:11.880
<v Speaker 2>whether it is your meditation practice, there's a natural desire

0:51:11.960 --> 0:51:14.440
<v Speaker 2>to want to share with other people, to create that

0:51:14.480 --> 0:51:16.480
<v Speaker 2>for themselves. Like you want other people to feel the

0:51:16.480 --> 0:51:18.920
<v Speaker 2>happiness that you get from something. You want someone to

0:51:19.440 --> 0:51:21.640
<v Speaker 2>experience what you feel when you come out the shower

0:51:21.719 --> 0:51:23.640
<v Speaker 2>and put a body or on such simple things. But

0:51:23.719 --> 0:51:26.400
<v Speaker 2>the desire to share something that's made you happy with

0:51:26.440 --> 0:51:29.040
<v Speaker 2>other people, and it's such such a beautiful thing to

0:51:29.080 --> 0:51:30.200
<v Speaker 2>be able to do it, to be able to give

0:51:30.200 --> 0:51:31.840
<v Speaker 2>in the platform to do it, to be able to

0:51:32.280 --> 0:51:34.720
<v Speaker 2>have the resources to actually share it with other people.

0:51:35.120 --> 0:51:38.560
<v Speaker 2>I think it's so special in whichever way is a

0:51:38.600 --> 0:51:41.080
<v Speaker 2>tea cup, to have a delicious cup of tea exactly

0:51:41.160 --> 0:51:44.600
<v Speaker 2>to enjoy that moment exactly. So it's so wonderful that

0:51:44.640 --> 0:51:46.960
<v Speaker 2>you're choosing to take all the things that have made

0:51:47.000 --> 0:51:48.840
<v Speaker 2>you happy in your life and actually share it with

0:51:48.880 --> 0:51:51.440
<v Speaker 2>other people. I think it's a really wonderful quality and

0:51:51.520 --> 0:51:54.439
<v Speaker 2>something that we have the desire to but sometimes don't

0:51:54.480 --> 0:51:54.880
<v Speaker 2>know how to.

0:51:55.160 --> 0:51:57.120
<v Speaker 1>And I was so fun that I was able to

0:51:57.160 --> 0:51:59.520
<v Speaker 1>create a r like from my Heart to Yours with

0:51:59.560 --> 0:52:01.400
<v Speaker 1>the little Heart collection, Like I was like, Oh, I

0:52:01.440 --> 0:52:03.719
<v Speaker 1>really want to create these like hearts that like when

0:52:03.760 --> 0:52:07.359
<v Speaker 1>people feel like it connects them to that part of themselves.

0:52:07.400 --> 0:52:12.000
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, and you know, I think being connected with

0:52:12.160 --> 0:52:17.760
<v Speaker 1>your heart is such a powerful a powerful place for everyone.

0:52:18.320 --> 0:52:20.759
<v Speaker 1>And some people might be like, oh, there's too much

0:52:20.800 --> 0:52:24.000
<v Speaker 1>pain there, but actually it's when you sit with that

0:52:24.320 --> 0:52:27.840
<v Speaker 1>and you can there's so much growth in that. Yeah,

0:52:28.120 --> 0:52:31.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, I want I'm through the challenging times definitely.

0:52:31.760 --> 0:52:34.400
<v Speaker 1>And on that note, have you had any experiences in

0:52:34.440 --> 0:52:37.080
<v Speaker 1>your life We've gone through difficult times. And for any

0:52:37.080 --> 0:52:39.759
<v Speaker 1>women that are listening to this that are struggling in

0:52:39.800 --> 0:52:42.400
<v Speaker 1>their life, is there any advice that you have for them.

0:52:42.400 --> 0:52:43.880
<v Speaker 1>I feel like so many women look up to you

0:52:44.200 --> 0:52:47.360
<v Speaker 1>and admire you, and so is are there any words

0:52:47.360 --> 0:52:49.400
<v Speaker 1>of wisdom or something that's helped you get through a

0:52:49.400 --> 0:52:52.160
<v Speaker 1>difficult moment in your life. There's so much power in

0:52:52.200 --> 0:52:57.440
<v Speaker 1>the present that we don't necessarily fully appreciate, and so

0:52:57.560 --> 0:53:01.080
<v Speaker 1>it's like being in the present with those that really

0:53:02.239 --> 0:53:04.960
<v Speaker 1>that you feel that you resonate with and you know,

0:53:05.040 --> 0:53:09.680
<v Speaker 1>and being connected with people and being connected with nature,

0:53:09.880 --> 0:53:13.080
<v Speaker 1>being connected with yourself, coming back to like putting your

0:53:13.080 --> 0:53:17.040
<v Speaker 1>feet in the grass, like watching the sunrise, and and

0:53:17.080 --> 0:53:20.479
<v Speaker 1>being grateful for those moments and really just having that

0:53:20.560 --> 0:53:26.040
<v Speaker 1>kind of that reverence for creation and all that is.

0:53:26.400 --> 0:53:28.719
<v Speaker 1>And the fact that, like I don't know, having that

0:53:28.760 --> 0:53:32.440
<v Speaker 1>attitude of gratitude is something that I feel is helpful

0:53:32.840 --> 0:53:36.280
<v Speaker 1>even in the hard moments, because you know that through

0:53:36.320 --> 0:53:40.439
<v Speaker 1>that challenging time there will be more growth and that

0:53:40.680 --> 0:53:45.040
<v Speaker 1>it won't be this painful forever. And so like, yeah,

0:53:45.080 --> 0:53:48.960
<v Speaker 1>having perspective and understanding like I'm going to feel whatever

0:53:49.000 --> 0:53:52.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm feeling and not push it away or push it down,

0:53:53.239 --> 0:53:57.080
<v Speaker 1>like let and I think as women as well, let

0:53:57.120 --> 0:54:00.839
<v Speaker 1>ourselves feel whatever we feel. For so many of us.

0:54:00.920 --> 0:54:04.239
<v Speaker 1>Even sometimes that anger might come up and we're like, no,

0:54:04.360 --> 0:54:07.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm not an angry person, like that's it. Yeah, and

0:54:07.160 --> 0:54:09.680
<v Speaker 1>like no, I'm like happy. But I think it's important

0:54:09.719 --> 0:54:13.120
<v Speaker 1>to actually embrace it and feel it and be like

0:54:13.280 --> 0:54:16.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm actually feeling angry right now and I need a moment,

0:54:16.520 --> 0:54:17.200
<v Speaker 1>and that's okay.

0:54:17.719 --> 0:54:19.640
<v Speaker 2>I think if you don't, then it will just builds

0:54:19.719 --> 0:54:21.719
<v Speaker 2>up and then suddenly it seeps into areas of your

0:54:21.719 --> 0:54:23.759
<v Speaker 2>life that you don't even want it to. Yeah, you

0:54:23.760 --> 0:54:25.319
<v Speaker 2>don't even realize.

0:54:24.800 --> 0:54:27.759
<v Speaker 1>And it causes blockages in our energy centers. And we

0:54:27.760 --> 0:54:30.480
<v Speaker 1>don't want that. We want to feel like here, I

0:54:30.480 --> 0:54:31.680
<v Speaker 1>am putting my shoes back on it.

0:54:31.840 --> 0:54:36.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I have these a little fill in the blanks. Okay,

0:54:37.120 --> 0:54:38.920
<v Speaker 2>it can be one word, it can be a sentence,

0:54:39.920 --> 0:54:43.000
<v Speaker 2>whatever comes to your mind. So it's lately I've been craving.

0:54:43.520 --> 0:54:45.880
<v Speaker 1>The morning sunshine.

0:54:46.120 --> 0:54:47.920
<v Speaker 2>We've had a lot of that lately. It's so nice.

0:54:48.040 --> 0:54:51.680
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I really love it. Like I get excited about

0:54:51.680 --> 0:54:54.440
<v Speaker 1>waking up see the sun and just being under it

0:54:54.480 --> 0:54:56.400
<v Speaker 1>for like five minutes in the more exactly. Yeah, I

0:54:56.440 --> 0:55:00.359
<v Speaker 1>think that's really important. Lately, I've been reading, so I'm

0:55:00.360 --> 0:55:04.239
<v Speaker 1>reading two books, The Field by Lynn mctarget and it

0:55:04.280 --> 0:55:08.640
<v Speaker 1>talks about how we're all interconnected and I'm really loving that.

0:55:09.200 --> 0:55:12.520
<v Speaker 1>And also I'm reading a book by Yogan under the

0:55:12.600 --> 0:55:16.000
<v Speaker 1>Journey to Self Realization, and I just feel like on

0:55:16.040 --> 0:55:19.319
<v Speaker 1>every page there's just like just a little seed of

0:55:19.360 --> 0:55:23.520
<v Speaker 1>wisdom and something to just kind of sit with. And

0:55:23.560 --> 0:55:26.280
<v Speaker 1>so I'm I like reading a couple of different books

0:55:26.280 --> 0:55:28.640
<v Speaker 1>at a time. I'm the same, yeah, and I just

0:55:28.680 --> 0:55:31.799
<v Speaker 1>feel like they're kind of a little interconnected, but they're

0:55:31.800 --> 0:55:34.279
<v Speaker 1>different in their own way. She's more science based and

0:55:34.600 --> 0:55:39.319
<v Speaker 1>he obviously is science too and spirituality. So I'm really

0:55:39.400 --> 0:55:42.400
<v Speaker 1>enjoying both of its amazing. And then also David Hawkins.

0:55:42.480 --> 0:55:46.640
<v Speaker 1>If you haven't read Power Verse Force, they're just any

0:55:46.680 --> 0:55:51.239
<v Speaker 1>of David Hawkins. The Hawkins h A W K I

0:55:51.360 --> 0:55:51.640
<v Speaker 1>N S.

0:55:51.760 --> 0:55:53.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Okay, I'm going to add them to my list.

0:55:53.560 --> 0:55:57.840
<v Speaker 1>I love like that not Hawkins Hawkins powervers Force or

0:55:57.840 --> 0:56:00.000
<v Speaker 1>Transcending the Levels of Consciousness really great book.

0:56:00.160 --> 0:56:03.560
<v Speaker 2>Okay, added to my list. Yeah, I'm currently I'm unlearning.

0:56:04.560 --> 0:56:12.399
<v Speaker 1>Ooh, I'm unlearning. I'm trying to like like not have

0:56:12.840 --> 0:56:16.200
<v Speaker 1>because I do everything on my phone, so and I

0:56:16.239 --> 0:56:18.760
<v Speaker 1>work from home and I use my phone as my computer.

0:56:18.880 --> 0:56:26.920
<v Speaker 1>So I'm kind of unlearning like the like automatic pick up, yeah, scrolling. Yeah,

0:56:27.000 --> 0:56:30.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, I don't really need to check my emails

0:56:30.080 --> 0:56:32.440
<v Speaker 1>right now. I can just be in this moment. So

0:56:32.480 --> 0:56:36.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm kind of wanting to unlearn having to do and

0:56:36.760 --> 0:56:39.680
<v Speaker 1>just actually have a moment to just like, Okay, I'm

0:56:39.680 --> 0:56:41.640
<v Speaker 1>gonna just have a moment. If the baby's asleep, I'm

0:56:41.640 --> 0:56:43.600
<v Speaker 1>gonna have a moment and just put my feet outside

0:56:43.640 --> 0:56:46.440
<v Speaker 1>in the grass and like look at the light shining

0:56:46.520 --> 0:56:49.440
<v Speaker 1>through the trees and just like be in this moment.

0:56:49.719 --> 0:56:51.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I think that's something I'm really working on, is

0:56:51.840 --> 0:56:54.319
<v Speaker 2>not covering up noise with noise. Yeah, and your mind

0:56:54.400 --> 0:56:56.960
<v Speaker 2>is like noisy. I think the tendencies put the music louder,

0:56:57.520 --> 0:57:00.560
<v Speaker 2>or distract yourself or do all those things that actually,

0:57:00.760 --> 0:57:03.000
<v Speaker 2>when your minds screaming at you, that's when you're supposed

0:57:03.040 --> 0:57:05.120
<v Speaker 2>to stop and listen rather than trying to cover up

0:57:05.120 --> 0:57:07.799
<v Speaker 2>with everything. And so that's that that resonated with me

0:57:07.880 --> 0:57:14.279
<v Speaker 2>for sure. Yeah, right now I need more quiet moments. Yeah,

0:57:14.360 --> 0:57:20.720
<v Speaker 2>and time time to have quiet moments. FATA. My skin

0:57:20.800 --> 0:57:22.480
<v Speaker 2>can't live without hmm.

0:57:23.600 --> 0:57:28.040
<v Speaker 1>Obviously, the chimmering foaming cleanser but also the non Anglo body.

0:57:29.320 --> 0:57:32.000
<v Speaker 2>A really good cry feels like, oh.

0:57:32.000 --> 0:57:35.680
<v Speaker 1>Such a good release. It just feels like cleansing.

0:57:36.280 --> 0:57:41.640
<v Speaker 2>Definitely, the most used app on my phone is obviously Snapchat.

0:57:41.760 --> 0:57:45.080
<v Speaker 2>That's what I communicate with, you know, my friends and family,

0:57:45.200 --> 0:57:47.920
<v Speaker 2>my husband Althoy were sending little snaps, but also the

0:57:47.960 --> 0:57:51.040
<v Speaker 2>Aura ring app. I'm a little bit addicted to checking

0:57:51.160 --> 0:57:56.360
<v Speaker 2>like that or my stairs. When I need advice, I call.

0:57:57.560 --> 0:58:00.240
<v Speaker 1>I call my husband, I call my mom. Yeah.

0:58:00.480 --> 0:58:04.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. When I feel low, I.

0:58:04.480 --> 0:58:07.600
<v Speaker 1>Go out in nature, just put my feet in the grass,

0:58:08.320 --> 0:58:09.520
<v Speaker 1>try and get all the sunshine.

0:58:09.880 --> 0:58:12.760
<v Speaker 2>Amazing. Thank you so much, thank you. This has been

0:58:12.800 --> 0:58:15.720

0:58:21.120 --> 0:58:23.200
<v Speaker 2>they're going to get so much from hearing about your

0:58:23.200 --> 0:58:25.040
<v Speaker 2>life but also all the things that you've learned along

0:58:25.120 --> 0:58:25.400
