I've just had the 9 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,760 Speaker 1: boss helping me. I had the volume turned down and 10 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 1: like off, and I was convinced that there was something 11 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 1: wrong with the mic, but of course I was just 12 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:49,600 Speaker 1: being an empty Now we're doing I'm recording this on Thursday, 13 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 1: so it will come out tomorrow morning, so it's a 14 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 1: nice fresh diary pod. Of course, I had all these 15 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 1: notes were here there. I was going to say, I 16 00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 1: can't find my diary notes. So I'm just going to 17 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 1: little top up of Byron life and how everything is 18 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 1: going here. I'm going to do a book review for 19 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 1: you as well, and just a little life check in. 20 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 1: So the last diary episode, which was actually the first 21 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 1: diary episode of the year, had Noli my dad Noel 22 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 1: on it, and so that was almost like a hybrid 23 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 1: interview slash diary episode. So this is the carry on 24 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 1: and when we recorded not the carry on, but like 25 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: the next one after and when we recorded his episode, 26 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,039 Speaker 1: we were going to Yamber the next day. So I've 27 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,039 Speaker 1: been to Yamber. It was amazing. I made some notes 28 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 1: for you if you've never been before. It's kind of 29 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 1: like a smallish coastal town, beautiful beaches. We went for 30 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: a swim at Turner's Beach, yes, I wrote that down, 31 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: and there's a lighthouse there. Matt and Dad got fish 32 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: and Chippo's. There's a famous cafe there called Beechwood Cafe, 33 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 1: but it was pumping and Boss and I have been 34 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: really with COVID stuff as well, so we chose not 35 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: to go there. But we had a delicious coffee at 36 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 1: a place called Sumi's Coffee that my friend Ness put 37 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 1: me onto, and they have our favorite They stock Oura 38 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,079 Speaker 1: one of our favorite coffees called Old Quarter, which is 39 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: in Balaner, which is where Boss and I go. We 40 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 1: have on a coffee in Balaner. Okay, Oh, I really 41 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:27,119 Speaker 1: expressed that, yeah, but talk didn't. I it was awesome though. 42 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: We just had a day trip there. If you're in 43 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: Byron and you're like, oh, maybe i'll check out Yamba, 44 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: it is two hours away, so I think, or an 45 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: hour and a half away, so I would recommend spending 46 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,839 Speaker 1: a night there. That said, right after I record this pod, 47 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 1: I'm about to drive two and a half hours to 48 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: Brisbane for a one hour me with my acting agents, 49 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,799 Speaker 1: and then two and a half hours home. I'm excited 50 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: for it, but I'm also a bit like, oh, it's 51 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 1: like pelting down outside and I just I get nervous 52 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: on wet roads. But anyway, we'll be right. I'm giving 53 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: myself extra time. So, speaking of acting agents, I've kind 54 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: of been in acting world these last kind like all 55 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: of jan pretty much soon as Dad went back. So 56 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: Dad did a road trip. You would have heard this 57 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 1: in the Last Die episode, but Dad did a road 58 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: trip up to Byron, stayed with us for Crimbo New 59 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 1: Year's and then air kind of I put him in 60 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 1: an Airbnb for a week at this really cool farm 61 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 1: stay as well, so his dog Chat was in heaven 62 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: and then we booked little Airbnb's all the way home 63 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,519 Speaker 1: for him and he's just got home a couple of 64 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: days ago, so we did really like gentle road trip 65 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: home and after Dad left, I just set myself a 66 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 1: goal before I knew I had this meeting with my 67 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: acting agents today, and so I set myself a goal 68 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: to film all new self tapes. Because I've lobbed my 69 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 1: hair off. I've got a really short bob and so 70 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 1: I look really different now to how I did when 71 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: I did my other self tapes. So yeah, I've recorded. 72 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: In the last week. I've recorded a monologue with a 73 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: New York accent, which is my favorite one to do. 74 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: I've also probably arguably spent the most amount of time 75 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 1: on script analysis dialect work on that, and that's a 76 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 1: really fun, fast paced monologue. I did two general American 77 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 1: monologue So general American is like the most common accent 78 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: you hear. It's not a specific accent, but it's just 79 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 1: like that. It's what you as a kid. When I 80 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,039 Speaker 1: was watching shows like The X Files, which is one 81 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: of my favorite shows, I thought they talked normal. I 82 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: thought an American accent was our accent, like I just 83 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 1: thought it was normal. But a general American, I don't 84 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,720 Speaker 1: know if I've got anything I can say like a 85 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,159 Speaker 1: general American accent. It's just kind of like this, it's 86 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,279 Speaker 1: really easy to listen to. It's smooth, it's silky, and 87 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: it's kind of like just really normal, whereas a New 88 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,160 Speaker 1: York accent is more like I think I told you. 89 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 1: I don't know if I've said it on here, I've 90 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: definitely said on Insta, but my trigger word is like 91 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: the here is long, it is flowing, it's like a 92 00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,719 Speaker 1: rep wow, fucking we've okay, and the tit's please. So 93 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:05,039 Speaker 1: it's got that real, like punchier, more aggressive, more nasality 94 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: than general American, which is really bright and kind of 95 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,840 Speaker 1: bounces off the cheekbones. So yeah, I've done two General 96 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 1: American monologues this week. I've done my New York put 97 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: my New York one up, and I just recorded an 98 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,719 Speaker 1: Australian one. But the dialect was kind of like not 99 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: like my normal Australian accent. It was leaning heavier into 100 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 1: like the languaging, and the script was much more Australiana, 101 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 1: which is so much fun because I love I love 102 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: the Australian accent. I love it so much. And a 103 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: good friend of mine said, you're only self taping in 104 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: American accent. But you're Australian, even though you know you 105 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: want to act in America. It's a powerful thing to 106 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: have an Australian accent too, so that's why i put 107 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 1: my Aussie dialect up. So I've done all of that 108 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:54,599 Speaker 1: before I meet my agents today. I've filmed a slate 109 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: which is kind of like you'll intro video with all 110 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: the information like agehigh. You've got to have all your measurements, 111 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: like you bust your waist, your hips and you kind 112 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: of like say yeah, agent and stuff like that. So 113 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: I've done all my slates as well, and I've done 114 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,160 Speaker 1: like a bit of a press kit. I'm like so 115 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 1: pumped for the meeting and who knows that I'm sure 116 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,600 Speaker 1: i'll get like feedback like this acting. I don't know. 117 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 1: Like I said to my friend, I was like, eh, 118 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 1: you know when you kind of like analyze yourself so 119 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 1: much that you're just like, was that good? I don't 120 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: know if that was good. So hopefully it's good, and 121 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: I'm really looking forward to it. I have really no 122 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: idea what to expect, but I do know that this 123 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 1: is the year that I want to be auditioning and 124 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: having the courage to take myself seriously as an actor. 125 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:47,159 Speaker 1: This will be coming into my fourth fourth year of 126 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: acting training. So I've kept my training up in Australia 127 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 1: with privates, and I hit a course on the weekend, 128 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:58,039 Speaker 1: actually a course in on the Gold Coast with a 129 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 1: casting agents that was really cool because that it was 130 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: just like how to read a call sheet, how don't 131 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,039 Speaker 1: know where to step on your mark, where your eyeline is, 132 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 1: what cameras they're using, what lenses are being used, and 133 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: kind of like figuring out how to read the play 134 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: on set, which is really cool. Understanding what it means 135 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: means if you're an extra or background and you get 136 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: bumped to featured extra, and how that changes the pay 137 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: structure and how that changes you know, you're micd up, 138 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: You've probably got a line. It's really cool. What else 139 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: to tell you? So anyway, I've been in acting world 140 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: for the last probably three weeks. Like I've been teaching 141 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 1: yogas at peaches here in Viron and then pretty much 142 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 1: just like doing all I've been doing dialect class once 143 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 1: a week. I'm doing an American scene like with an 144 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: Aussie actor and we're going to put it on tape 145 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: together soon. So I've been trying to get off book 146 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 1: for that, because I've got quite a few lines in 147 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 1: that I'm not yet I'm like eighty percent. And that's 148 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 1: a fun one. That's all general American accent. I hope 149 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: I'm not boring you with this up. But on Insta 150 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 1: people I said, do you want to hear behind the 151 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 1: scenes of like trying to make it? And people like, yes, yes, 152 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: So am I gonna say because it's acted, Like, if 153 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 1: you think about it, you only see an actor really 154 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 1: make it. You don't see the struggle, you don't see 155 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 1: the rejection, you don't see the setbacks, you don't see 156 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 1: the kind of like bumps in the road. So I'm like, oh, 157 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 1: I may sort of share what it's like, what it's 158 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 1: like trying to make it in your mid thirties as 159 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 1: an actor. What else? I go to USA soon, so 160 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: aiming to go in March, and so I'm kind of 161 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:45,319 Speaker 1: doing a big clean out and I want to a 162 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 1: big clothing clean out. I'm just trying to get like 163 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: really on top of stuff so that I can go 164 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: to America. I think I've got to get my life 165 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: down to two suitcases when I go. There's lots of 166 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 1: questions about if the boss is coming. If the boss 167 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: isn't coming, we own business here in Australia, and so 168 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,559 Speaker 1: it's probably best for now while I'm still just kind 169 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: of cutting my teeth over there and trying to get 170 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 1: an agent, trying to get a manager, trying to get 171 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: some work and credits and commercials and whatnot, it's probably 172 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 1: going to be me on my own while I'm just 173 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 1: kind of like pounding the payment because it's a pavement, 174 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 1: because it's a rough city. It's tough, and if you 175 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 1: haven't listened before to the La Diaries, you'll hear like 176 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: just some some weeks were really tough, some were amazing, 177 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 1: and some are really confronting, Like yeah, like car battery 178 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 1: getting stolen and followed home one day, and it's just like, 179 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,320 Speaker 1: really you've gotta be super alert in America or in 180 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 1: LA anyway. But yeah, I'm kind of planning out USA now, 181 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 1: so as soon as i know exactly where I'm going 182 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: to be and what's happening on one hundred percent. Let 183 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,560 Speaker 1: you know, we discovered a new beach environ that is 184 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 1: really cool. It's near it's in Brunswick, kids, and it's 185 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 1: called Christmas Beach. It is so beautiful it's like a 186 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:06,079 Speaker 1: little inlet and it's like super calm. Lots of bambinos 187 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 1: and kiddies love being there because there's no waves. It's 188 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 1: really calm. So we went for a nice swim and 189 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 1: that was really good. I definitely want to go back 190 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 1: there again. You could do a full day there and 191 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 1: take an umbrella and have a picnic. It's just a 192 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,679 Speaker 1: really cool, super chill, beachy vibe and I think it's 193 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 1: kind of like where the beach meets Brunswick Kids River. 194 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 1: I think. Don't quote me on that. I'm still doing 195 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,319 Speaker 1: dry jams, so I haven't had any booze for all 196 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 1: of jam. I've really just been focused on health, not 197 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: like crazy health, but more just like when I say crazy, 198 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:38,599 Speaker 1: like I can get in to the zone where I'm like, 199 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 1: I must be at Plati's everything a day. That's just 200 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 1: the way I have to be. Lot of that, and 201 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: I click in. I'm more just like being really nourishing. 202 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: And we haven't had any sugar. I've been using when 203 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,319 Speaker 1: I'm craving sugar like that time of the month and stuff. 204 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,959 Speaker 1: I use fruits, so thank goodness it's cherry season. We've 205 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 1: been having the yummiest and so I've been using fruit 206 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:06,199 Speaker 1: in the place of sugar, which has been it probably 207 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 1: sounds like you're a nutritionis Lola, like you should know 208 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 1: that that's an easy swap. But because of all of 209 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:15,079 Speaker 1: December we were pretty much eating real sugar and raphaelos 210 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 1: and yummy chocolates and stuff like, switching that to fruit 211 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 1: has been a nice little ease in as well. We 212 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: did a sauna. Boss and I did a sauna date 213 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 1: at Tribe in Byron and that was really awesome. They 214 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,680 Speaker 1: let you do a couple saunas there, so the Boss 215 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,679 Speaker 1: and I go in together. We put either a podcast on, 216 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,959 Speaker 1: but this day we just put music on and just 217 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: read together, and that was really nice. I definitely want 218 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:44,439 Speaker 1: to book a new and another sans for US book 219 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: club times. So I have got so many books to read, 220 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 1: but I have finished this one. It's by an author 221 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 1: called Caroline Miss and it's called Archetypes, and it's all 222 00:11:56,200 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 1: about different like psychologic archetypes. It's really cool. It's very modern. 223 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:10,559 Speaker 1: So Carl Jung famously wrote Archetypes, but this one is 224 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 1: like when was it written? This book was written twenty thirteen, 225 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 1: and so it breaks down like Caroline's perception of archetypes. 226 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 1: There's definitely a spiritual twang to each of them. But like, 227 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 1: just to give you an example, some of the types 228 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 1: of archetypes like the advocate, the creative, the athlete, the caregiver, 229 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 1: the fashionist, are the intellectual, the queen, the rebel, the visionary, 230 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,839 Speaker 1: the spiritual seeker. I think I was a I thought 231 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:45,840 Speaker 1: I was a combo of creative, queen, visionary. I would 232 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 1: say boss is creative. But it's really cool because you 233 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 1: can kind of you've got people in your life. Like 234 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 1: when I was reading the Spiritual Seeker chapter, I was like, Oh, 235 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: that's like my friend Charlie, who in fact was on 236 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 1: the podcast on Monday. Charlie gold Smith. He's incredible, really 237 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: really passionate human. He's a healer and he's had a 238 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 1: TV show called The Healer as well. And this Monday's 239 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 1: episode it looks like from I don't know if anyone 240 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:15,719 Speaker 1: knows the back end of podcasts, but you don't get 241 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,320 Speaker 1: your stats until a week later, but we can usually 242 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 1: see who's listened to it in a twenty four hour 243 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 1: period to get like a rough idea of how it's going, 244 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:27,080 Speaker 1: and his is looking like a record episode so if 245 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:32,079 Speaker 1: you're into like health, healing, spirituality, listen to Monday's app 246 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 1: with Charlie. It's really really He's a really cool human. 247 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 1: We've been mates for eighteen years too, so it was 248 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,599 Speaker 1: just so nice to I've been wanting him on the 249 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 1: podcast since day dot and we're like one hundred and 250 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 1: eighty one or eighty two episodes in. I finally got 251 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,680 Speaker 1: him on the pod. So if you hear this, Charlie, 252 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,680 Speaker 1: thank you so much for jumping on. You inspired me loads, 253 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 1: and it was so nice to just chat and have 254 00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 1: space to just hear his story. So incredible human. I 255 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 1: highly recommend you listen to it. And yeah, back to 256 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 1: the book. So, yeah, this book's called Archetypes, but she's 257 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:10,080 Speaker 1: written Caroline Miss has written two other best selling books. 258 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 1: One's called Sacred Contracts and the other one is called 259 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 1: Anatomy of the Anatomy of the Spirit. So I think 260 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 1: those books are quite famous. I've not read them before, 261 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 1: but this one was really cool because you can just 262 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 1: kind of like highlighted bits, like you can kind of 263 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 1: like see parts of yourself in each one, and it 264 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 1: was just really interesting. I'm definitely going to use this 265 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 1: as a reference book and kind of like look back 266 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 1: at it and Yeah, I really enjoyed it. And if 267 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 1: you're interested in like human psychology but also like the 268 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 1: spiritual side of that, I think it's and it's a 269 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 1: really easy read, like it's not too thick. I think 270 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 1: I read it in a couple of weeks. I'm actually 271 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 1: starting to read David Sinclair's book now, which I'm hoping 272 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 1: I can review for you next week. But because it's science, 273 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 1: he writes about the biology of aging, and because it's 274 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 1: so science y, it's harder. It's amazing, but it's like 275 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 1: a lot denser to read, and so I'm like shift 276 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 1: as I hope I've got this finish for you by 277 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 1: next week for book club. But Archetypes by Caroline Miss 278 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 1: I would recommend I bought it the physical copy in 279 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 1: there's a spiritual bookshop in Byron Bay called Soul Books 280 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 1: sol Books, I think it's spelt like that, but I 281 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 1: e the soul like spirit and it's right near Woolies 282 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 1: in the town in Byron Bay if you're ever in town, 283 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 1: because they've got heaps of spiritual kind of books there. 284 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 1: So yeah, it's really cool and really interesting and a 285 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 1: great way to just kind of like understand your own 286 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 1: personality traits.
