Speaker 1: Welcome to your Diary episode. Here's the thing.

2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:08,440

00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:24,680

Speaker 2: Come with me as I share my adventures with you.

8
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 2: Hello there, and welcome to your Diary podcast. Coming to

9
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 2: you back from beautiful Byron Bay. So last week was

10
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 2: brisy and this week we're back in Byron, back in

11
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 2: the swing of things.

12
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 1: I've got a book review for you.

13
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,840
Speaker 2: I have a few foodie updates, although they were busy.

14
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 2: Some of them are brizzy updates because I went to

15
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 2: dinner right after I recorded the Diary pod and I

16
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 2: was like, oh, I'm still going to make sure I

17
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 2: mention it, and then Boss has made some yummy foods

18
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 2: since we've been back.

19
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: Book review.

20
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 2: Don't have a movie review yet, but I'm hoping we

21
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 2: go to the movies on Monday, and then a little

22
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 2: bit of therapy update and fertility update, and then your

23
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,199
Speaker 2: Monday episode that just came out was with Victoria Divine.

24
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 2: She's on the money. If you're into understanding your finances more,

25
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 2: understanding your super more, she's the girl for you. So

26
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 2: I hope you like that app. And then our Wednesday

27
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 2: hot seat was with the composer Breton Vivim really humble,

28
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 2: kind and effing talented composer.

29
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 1: And then today you're stuck with me. It's diary time.

30
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 2: So the foods. Let's start with the foody stuff, so

31
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 2: that's always fun and easy. So right after I recorded

32
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 2: the Diary pod last week, we went out for dinner

33
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 2: Boss and I and our friend David the Medium, who's

34
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 2: also been on this pod a number of times now,

35
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 2: and we went to a place called Hellnica and it

36
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 2: was a beautiful Greek restaurant in the hotel that we

37
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 2: were staying at. I've always caught it the Carlisle Hotel.

38
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 2: Apparently it's actually called the Khalil Hotel, which sounds very cool,

39
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 2: doesn't it. So that restaurant is actually literally in the hotel,

40
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 2: located within the hotel, as is the medi spar Kailo,

41
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 2: which I was there doing a speaking gig for and

42
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 2: am an ambassador. Right, So the food we ordered, I

43
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 2: wrote it all down musaka, which is like this eggplant lasagna,

44
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 2: Greek salad, really good, zacchini fries, and saganaki. Hands down,

45
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 2: the winner was the musaka. The Greek salad was just

46
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 2: delicious and fresh, and it had a full block of

47
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 2: fetter that you just kind of like broke and crumbled

48
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 2: and so good. And saganaki was epic. Zacchini fries were good,

49
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 2: but you know when you've had amazing zucchini fries before, Like,

50
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 2: I don't know about you, but I just don't think

51
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 2: you can beat the grilled zucchini fries. Has anyone tried them?

52
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 2: They're insane, They're so yummy. Many many years ago I

53
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 2: worked with Grilled and I helped them write this like

54
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 2: Paleo bun Berger. I think it's called narrat and flourish anyway,

55
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 2: and so I got hooked on those zucchini fries, and

56
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 2: so now nothing comes close to the grilled zucchini fries.

57
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: Anyway, I digress completely.

58
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 2: But the mussuka amazing, the Greek salad amazing, And I

59
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 2: had one glass of pino, as did Boss, and I

60
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 2: think David got.

61
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: A maug with just a touch of spice, not too much, Okay,

62
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: the next.

63
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 2: Day we were on the road. We knew had a

64
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 2: road trip, so Boss got some goodies. He goes this

65
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 2: gluden Fee Bakery. I don't even know it's name, so

66
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 2: it's hard for me even like I can't even say

67
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 2: what they are, because he just went and got these

68
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 2: goodies because he loves a good sausage role.

69
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: So he had his sausage role.

70
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 2: But he came back with a brownie, a pecan banana

71
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 2: and pineapple cake. So think like hummingbird vibes, which you

72
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 2: know I love, and this berry cheesecake thing. And I

73
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 2: was like, Boss, we don't it's only two and a

74
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 2: half hour drive anyway, So as you can imagine, we

75
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 2: had lots of sweetie and treaties. And then a few

76
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 2: days ago, I was pouring down here in Byron, like

77
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 2: you can't leave, pouring like floods, Like we had a

78
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 2: fertility appointment. It got canceled because like Liz Moore got

79
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 2: flooded and Byron Baby flash flooded as well.

80
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: So I said, oh.

81
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 2: Why don't we just make bake something, and Matt goes, oh,

82
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 2: I'll make a lins of tart. So I think a

83
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 2: linsa tort is German. I think, but basically it's gluten free.

84
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 2: The base is like this hazelin up meal crust. I

85
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 2: think he puts a little bit of gluten free flower

86
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 2: and then the inside is this beautiful raspberry jam and

87
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 2: you get the one from the soupermarket with the crisscross

88
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 2: white and red kind of like it looks like a

89
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 2: tablecloth on top of the lid. That's the best brand,

90
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 2: hands down. We've tried other brands. Nothing comes close.

91
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: I hope.

92
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 2: I know that it's called La Madame or something that brand. Anyway,

93
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 2: we devoured that in a couple of days, made quick

94
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 2: work of that and didn't I we're trying the my natural.

95
00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 1: Path with all the fertility stuff.

96
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 2: It has got me no dairy, so we just got

97
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 2: some Coyo coconut yogurt to put a little dollar ponter.

98
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:06,799
Speaker 1: It was really good. Okay.

99
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 2: Book review Okay, Daisy Jones, and I've actually read two

100
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 2: books since I spoke to you last I know what

101
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 2: a nerd, but I want to review this for you first,

102
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 2: and next week I'll review this week's because I don't

103
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 2: think I will finish a full book in the next

104
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 2: seven days.

105
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: Yeah much.

106
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:24,960

Speaker 2: one THEO Knowing Me So Daisy Jones and the Six.

108
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 2: It's by Taylor Jenkins read so this is the author

109
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 2: of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, which I loved.

110
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 2: It's a massive bestseller. I would actually recommend starting there

111
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 2: as your for like, if you're like, where do I start?

112
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 2: I would buy The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. Even

113
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 2: go to like big w or book Topia or Kmart.

114
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 2: That's where you get books the best value usually. But

115
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 2: the front cover is beautiful. It's got a green dress

116
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 2: on it, so that I've already reviewed that for you.

117
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 2: That my friend Alex got me onto in La and

118
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 2: I loved it. All set around La. Now this is

119
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 2: also set around La in the sixties, so it's called

120
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 2: Daisy Jones and the Six. It's all about sixties rock

121
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 2: and roll, and it's like about aspiring stars and rock

122
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 2: bands and you know, drug sex, all that kind of thing.

123
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 2: Writing an album really good. I got completely into it.

124
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 2: And there's always and this is only the second time

125
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 2: I've read this author's books, but there's always something heartfelt

126
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 2: in the way that she writes.

127
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 1: I feel.

128
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 2: And her other book is called Melibu Rising, which I

129
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 2: haven't read yet, so i'll probably read that next. I've

130
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 2: just ordered a Candace Fox and oh, it's his name,

131
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 2: James Patterson. I've just he's like the biggest I think

132
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 2: crime fiction author in the world. I've just ordered their

133
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 2: book and that's right, and that's called Never Never, So

134
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 2: I think I'm going to start that next. And I

135
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 2: know I have an ARC that's arrived. So ARC's are

136
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 2: really exciting. They stand for advance reader copies. So I've

137
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 2: got an ARC for a author I'm gonna be interviewing soon,

138
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 2: and I know it's in my PO box, and so

139
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, do I hold off a couple of

140
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 2: days and just start that and just deep dive that

141
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 2: because I'll be interviewing the author in a few weeks,

142
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 2: or do I know that I'm going to start this

143
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 2: Cannice Fox one and probably finish it in three days

144
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 2: and then read the arc anyway, So I'm really excited

145
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 2: about that because another author on the pod Gangles Okay,

146
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 2: Daisy Jones and the six it's really good. It's it's light,

147
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 2: it's it's not even light. Actually, it's heavy, like there's

148
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 2: a lot about drug addiction, and stuff in here. But

149
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 2: it's an easy read, like you could read it in

150
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 2: three days if you wanted to. I've seen, I have

151
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 2: read and reviewed for you Verity by Colleen Hoover, and

152
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 2: I know a lot of people are loving a lot

153
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 2: of Colleen's books. And I was like, because when you

154
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 2: go to the bookstore, there's like literally twelve books to

155
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 2: choose from that author, and I have never known what

156
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 2: the next one is to.

157
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: Read after Verity.

158
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 2: But I just love this author, Like, I really I

159
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 2: think this author is my jam. So Taylor Jenkins read

160
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 2: if you Love La Like there are so many Like

161
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 2: there's a character that lives in Chateau Mamo or Mamott

162
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 2: there they talk about that bar is like whiskey Whiskey

163
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 2: to go go, Like there are a lot of nods

164
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 2: to iconic musical places in Los Angeles. So yeah, I'd

165
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 2: recommend it. I'd recommend it.

166
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: It's fun. You could just read it on a few flights,

167
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It's a goodie.

168
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 2: Daisy Jones and the Six by Taylor Jincns read, Okay,

169
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 2: therapy had therapy this week, hadn't actually had it for

170
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 2: three weeks. I just think with all the travel and stuff,

171
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 2: and I said to Matt, there's been a lot of

172
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 2: uncertainty with the fertility stuff. We met one fertility doctor

173
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 2: and wasn't the right fit, which I think I touch

174
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:01,679
Speaker 2: alluded to.

175
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: Last week on the pod.

176
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 2: It wasn't a fun experience, and I just felt a

177
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 2: bit like I wasn't held. And also in the in

178
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:20,079
Speaker 2: the console, the doctor had somebody else's AMH results. So

179
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 2: AMH is a blood test that tells you where your

180
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 2: egg count kind is. And I had said to the doctor, Oh,

181
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 2: you know, we'd love to freeze embryos and eggs in

182
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 2: this one cycle if possible, and he said no and

183
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 2: slid this paper in front of me and kind of

184
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 2: like pointed to it and said, your eggcount is way

185
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 2: too low.

186
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 1: You won't be able to do that.

187
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 2: And I read the name and I was like, oh,

188
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 2: that's not my blood test, And so I just felt

189
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 2: a little bit disheartened. And also I thought, oh, probably

190
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 2: not cool if you talked to the girl that had

191
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 2: the lower blood count, the lower AMH count like that.

192
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 2: And so I said to my oh, please, like, can

193
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 2: we go somewhere else? And I have an amazing GP

194
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 2: that found me someone else and we had a really

195
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 2: great first console.

196
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,439
Speaker 1: I had a couple of meetings with.

197
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 2: This second specialist and Fingers and toes Cross, but looks

198
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:14,319
Speaker 2: like we'll be doing probably a November cycle, so that

199
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 2: means I will literally do all their injections and all

200
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 2: the hormone therapy and all the ultrasounds.

201
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 1: I didn't know.

202
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 2: Fun fact, the ultrasounds aren't just external, they're also internal,

203
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 2: so literally, like I haven't had it yet, so I

204
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 2: can't tell you, but from what I can understand, looks

205
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 2: like a giant dildo with a condom on it, like

206
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 2: shoved up you vagina. I think I'm probably making that

207
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 2: sound a lot worse than it really is.

208
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 1: But anyway, my appointment for that is on Monday, so

209
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 1: I will be able to report back on that one

210
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: for you on the diary pod.

211
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 2: And then I've got another appointment next week with the nurses,

212
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 2: and what they will do is they'll basically teach Matt

213
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 2: and I to do the injections, how to administer the injections,

214
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 2: and like I spoke to them today and they were like, yeah,

215
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 2: we've literally got a fake bally that you practiced doing

216
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 2: it on. So that's exciting to like learn. So I'm

217
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 2: going to share all of this journey with you. So

218
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 2: the next probably three or four weeks, provided we're still

219
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 2: all good and approved in November, the next three to

220
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 2: four weeks will be the whole freezing embryo journey. And

221
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 2: of course, as I mentioned, Boss and I are going

222
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 2: to be doing a special four part special on it

223
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 2: that'll come out.

224
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: Early like JAM.

225
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 2: But I want to share it also real time with you.

226
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,959
Speaker 2: So every diary check in that I do on a Friday,

227
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 2: I'll give you an update.

228
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: I'll let you know what it's like. I'll let you

229
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 1: know where I'm at.

230
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,359
Speaker 2: Like I'm happy to like inject one of the hormones

231
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 2: live so you can get a taste for it. But

232
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,079
Speaker 2: I just want to be like really honest. Right now,

233
00:11:54,120 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 2: I'm this combo of petrified and excited. I am totally

234
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 2: overthinking it and being irrational, but I'm also like quite

235
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 2: empowered that Boss and I get to do this for

236
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 2: our future. I am noticing a lot of people are

237
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 2: presuming that because we're doing this, we must have a

238
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 2: fertility problem.

239
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 1: We don't. We're doing this because.

240
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:21,439
Speaker 2: We want to be able to really go after our

241
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 2: career and not be every time I get a year

242
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 2: older or I get a year old ago, oh my goodness,

243
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 2: my window is closing to have a banbin. No, oh,

244
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 2: I'm not going to be a MoMA like and if

245
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,839
Speaker 2: I'm being really honest with you, like when I was

246
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 2: a clinical nutritionist, I had a lot of clients like that,

247
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:46,439
Speaker 2: and so I got to see how stressful and confronting

248
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 2: it is when it feels like that windows slipping away.

249
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 2: And in America, like they say the golden and I'm

250
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 2: sure they say it here too, but you want to

251
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 2: freeze before thirty five. Now I've just turned thirty seven, so.

252
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit older.

253
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 2: And you know, even now, if we conceived naturally, I

254
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 2: would be well and truly a geriatric mum. So I

255
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 2: think I thought that was over thirty five, but it

256
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 2: might be over thirty two.

257
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: I don't know what the rules are.

258
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:16,319
Speaker 2: But anyway, so it's interesting because people like, but why

259
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 2: do you want to have a kid so old? And

260
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 2: we're like, well, we really want to chase our careers

261
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 2: and they haven't come true yet our dreams, so we're

262
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 2: trying to buy effectively, like another five or seven years

263
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 2: of just like running at our dreams.

264
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: So fingers crossed.

265
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 2: I just want to share, yeah, really honestly, about why

266
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 2: we're doing it, about our reasoning behind doing it, and

267
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 2: about the experience, because I know if I had access

268
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 2: to learn this, I think I'd be a bit less scared.

269
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 2: And people have sent me amazing resources and I'm learning

270
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 2: and learning and learning. But if I can normalize it

271
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 2: a bit and normalize it so that you know, you know,

272
00:13:58,240 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 2: if you're in the same boat as me, or you

273
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 2: might go, well, I'm the same age as me, or

274
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 2: a bit younger or a bit older and single, but

275
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 2: still want to be a mum, Like you can freeze

276
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 2: you can freeze eggs, like there are so many options

277
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 2: out there, So I just wanted to share it all.

278
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 2: I'll share the whole experience like I said in the

279
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 2: four part, but of course it's going to be a

280
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 2: huge part of my life for the next month, so

281
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 2: I'll also share it here as well. And there are

282
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 2: still chances that could get pushed out, so I might

283
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 2: be getting all excited for November and they're going to

284
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 2: be like, yo, no, we'll do it in Jen So

285
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 2: I'll keep you posted. From all I can understand now

286
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 2: is like we went from yesterday thinking we'll be doing

287
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 2: it in jen to having a call this morning. So

288
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 2: it's all very quick and change as quickly. So I'm

289
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 2: just gone with the flow. Taking it is a massive

290
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 2: learning and real chance to empower ourselves and learn, and

291
00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 2: to also get really excited about having a kid one day,

292
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 2: which is something I've always been career career, career, but

293
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 2: I just think it's really exciting that now we're putting

294
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 2: things in place to be come parents one day, which

295
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 2: is kind of like really exciting.

296
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: Okay, so that's my that's my update.

297
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 2: I also found this Coote well boss founder, I can't

298
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 2: even claim it.

299
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 1: I found this.

300
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 2: He found this really cool Zenday a quote on insta day,

301
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 2: and I wanted to play it for you. Do you

302
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 2: remember in America I'd find like acting quotes and play

303
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 2: them for you. Well, this is Zenday, a quote about

304
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 2: just having real people around you. And I think, like,

305
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 2: especially with doing this choosing to freeze embryos, like it

306
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 2: can bring up a little bit of judgment from people,

307
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 2: and not necessarily judgment specifically on you, it can be

308
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 2: their own parameters in their brain that's causing them to

309
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 2: judge you as opposed to like them actually judging what

310
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 2: you well, I guess I'm not making much sense.

311
00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: My point is just just want.

312
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 2: Real people around us, especially when we were doing something

313
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 2: so vulnerable like this. So this quite really rung true

314
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 2: to me today. So I'm going to play it for you.

315
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 2: So it's a little Zendaya one. Let me just get

316
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 2: the role up.

317
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: Sometimes I'll get.

318
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 2: It a bit too trigger happy and play it too loud,

319
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 2: So let's try this.

320
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: Okay, here we go. Some people are just good people

321
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 1: and you can just feel it. And I don't know

322
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 1: how to explain that.

323
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 2: But there's like this little spark they have, with this

324
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 2: little special thing that they have that just you feel safe.

325
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 1: And how cool. Some people just have that spark.

326
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 2: And I said to Madam, like, I really want to

327
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 2: protect our energy and just keep keep like good peeps around,

328
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 2: especially well where doing this. And so my mom's flying

329
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 2: up to help me with the needles, even though I'm

330
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 2: sure Boss and I will be prosed by the end

331
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 2: of it. But Mum's was head theater nurse for many years,

332
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 2: so I think she's kind of like fascinated herself. So yeah,
