00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: it come about justin because I managed to make it

62
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: on a list of the Australian Financial Review one hundred

63
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: Women of Influence.

64
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 3: Wow, and yeah it was crazy.

65
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: Well it was crazy to have my name on the list, right,

66
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: And I get to Sydney at the Sydney Town Hall

67
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: and it's this amazing black tie event and everyone's amazing

68
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: and there's little little Kate walking in the room thinking

69
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: I should not be in this room. But what was

70
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: fascinating was that I got talking to the other SAY

71
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: finalists and one of the young girls, she was sixteen,

72
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: and she developed a breastshield for women with breast cancer

73
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: to help them through their treatment, and I thought, where

74
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: are these stories? Who's telling these stories? Who's telling the

75
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: untold stories of Australian women, not.

76
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 3: The big ones in the media and the everyday woman.

77
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 3: And so that is how it was born.

78
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 2: Wow, I love it. So it's the Women of Influence podcast.

79
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 2: We will link to that in the show notes. I

80
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 2: would imagine that there's a lot of people, mums and

81
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:08,360

127
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,360

Speaker 2: hear about commuting, especially via aeroplane and interstate, what we'll

129
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 2: find is that dad, in your standard biological family, the

130
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 2: standard setup, Dad's taking off. He's going to be flying

131
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 2: to Sydney once a week, or flying to Brisbane once

132
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 2: a week or whatever, having a few days up there

133
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 2: and then coming home for a couple of days. You're

134
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 2: doing it the other way around, and it's not one

135
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 2: of those five fo things where sometimes it'll be what

136
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 2: is it like ten days on, four days off or

137
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 2: something like that. What's your fly in flyout regimen looking like?

00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: bub bub left of field, and I want to talk

161
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: about it because there's some opportunities that come along in

162
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: a lifetime, some you can say no to, and others

163
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: if you don't say yes too.

164
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 3: I would be worried that one day I'll roll.

165
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:10,239
Speaker 1: Over one Saturday morning or in ten years time and say,

166
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: I wonder what would have happened if I'd had to

167
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: go right, I can't imagine living a life like that.

168
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: I can't actually, you know, and how we're trying to

169
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 1: raise our children, is that what's the worst thing that

170
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: could possibly happen? Nothing terribly bad can happen from having

171
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: a true So if you fail, if I fail at this,

172
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: I will have learnt.

173
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 3: I will have learned so much. And so it was, yeah,

174
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 3: originally it was no.

175
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 2: Let me ask you, how often are you coming back.

176
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 3: At the moment? Fortnightly?

177
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 2: Wow?

178
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 3: It is so.

179
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 1: So we've done, We've mapped out, We've got the calendar

180
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: out right, everyone knows, so we literally and then we

181
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: actually said to the kids, when do you want mom

182
00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:59,199
Speaker 1: home and straightaway?

183
00:08:59,320 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 3: Birthdays?

184
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:00,319
Speaker 1: Right o?

185
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 3: Bang?

186
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: So we've got to be home for birthdays, Month's Day, bang,

187
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: Father's Day, bang, Easter bang.

188
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,439
Speaker 3: So I was saying, I'm going to be home three

189
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 3: weeks in the weekend.

190
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:14,319
Speaker 1: You know, one month or yeah, so special occasions non negotiable,

191
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: you know, non negotiable.

192
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,319
Speaker 3: So I keep saying it's fortnightly, but it.

193
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 2: Sounds like a bit more than that on paper though,

194
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 2: even though you're saying that, it's still it's challenging to

195
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 2: do what you're doing. I think that even though you're

196
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 2: not going to be on the podcast long term, because

197
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 2: Kylie'll be back next week, I think we're going to

198
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 2: have to check in and see how it's going with

199
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 2: the commute, and see you've just ended up moving in

200
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 2: with Jones and Amanda.

201
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 3: Then I'd love to.

202
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: I think I believe they live in much bigger homes

203
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: than the one I will be in.

204
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, probably probably, which means I'll have all that space

205
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 2: for you.

206
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 1: Well, justin this was not a decision like a snap.

207
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 1: This is what the whole family is going to do.

208
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 1: This has been a process or of about eight weeks

209
00:09:58,280 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: of micro conversation.

210
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 3: So it just doesn't work, does it. I don't know.

211
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 3: Maybe it does in some families.

212
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: But for me to lay down the law, which I

213
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: do try to occasionally in this situation though, that was

214
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: never it had to be micro conversations.

215
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 2: Well, we've done the same kind of thing with our family.

216
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 2: We have been talking about how nice it would be

217
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 2: to be near the coast, and we were actually over Christmas,

218
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 2: had a break and spent a week near the coast

219
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 2: on the on the beach, and as we drive home,

220
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 2: I said to Kylie, if I found out some awful news,

221
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 2: if I found out that I was going to pass

222
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 2: away in the next week or month or year, the

223
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 2: first thing I'd do is sell the house and move

224
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 2: the coast. And we kind of sat in silence for

225
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 2: a moment, and then I looked at her and I said,

226
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 2: what are we doing? That's if this is If this

227
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 2: is that important, what we what are we still doing

228
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 2: where we are? And there's so much to love about

229
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 2: where we are. It's not that we feel in any

230
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 2: way like things are bad. We have everything, life is good.

231
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,959
Speaker 2: But that's what I would choose, if I could choose.

232
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:08,959
Speaker 2: And I realized to hang on, maybe maybe there is

233
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 2: a choice here to be made. And then it was

234
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 2: the same kind of thing. Let's explore this with the kids, Hey, kids,

235
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 2: what do you think? How would it feel? What would

236
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 2: we have to give up? What could we gain? What

237
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 2: would work for you? And just those incidental conversations led

238
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 2: to a big decision. Anyway, Kylie and I all share

239
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 2: more about that in the next few weeks. Kate really

240
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:31,240

Speaker 2: with COVID because Kate has lived that. How do you

259
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 2: deal with the isolation your world getting turned upside down?

260
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 2: Because let's face it, pretty much all of Australia is

261
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 2: going to have had COVID in the next couple of weeks.
