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

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:07,920

Speaker 2: This is your Christmas Eve episode. It is your last episode.

9
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: Of twenty twenty one. We're going to take a short break.

10
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 2: The Monday episodes will come back on the tenth of JAM,

11
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,599
Speaker 2: and the Diary episodes will come back on the fourteenth

12
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 2: of JAM, so I'll be in for that whole time.

13
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 2: I'll be in Byron Base, so there'll be lots of

14
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 2: Byron updates and hopefully little adventure spots I can talk

15
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 2: to you about.

16
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: I'm just going to give you a really quick.

17
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 2: Update on the week that was had my book launch

18
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 2: for Fearlessly.

19
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: Failing here in Byron Bay.

20
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 2: I know the book's been out a few weeks, but

21
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 2: I am just I love a book launch, and obviously

22
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 2: because of COVID, there was there's been no launch, and

23
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 2: so it was just a really nice, I guess opportunity

24
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 2: to be able to actually physically do a launch. And

25
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 2: as anyone that's watching the news will know that COVID

26
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 2: in Australia is obviously really taking hold a little bit,

27
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 2: it is also affecting Byron Bay quite heavily. So I

28
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 2: wasn't sure that would go ahead. But we were able

29
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 2: to have a social distance safe book launch, which was

30
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 2: my goal. That was what I really wanted, so and

31
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 2: everyone felt safe and we did these big goodie bags

32
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 2: and it was just a really really fun event. My

33
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 2: bestie Andrea was able to come down from the Goldie

34
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 2: which is awesome, and we went on some really fun

35
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 2: nature adventures together. Here's the thing about nature adventures in

36
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 2: Byron Bay. The locals are quite protective about if an

37
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 2: influencer goes, you're not me to tag where.

38
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: The secret location is.

39
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 2: So I don't know what I meant to do, because

40
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 2: I want to tell you all about these adventures, but

41
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 2: I don't want to be a dick and kind of

42
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 2: like get in trouble for like spreading them. But we

43
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 2: went on a waterfall hike where you kind of like hike,

44
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 2: and then you come out in these little lagoons that

45
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 2: are in fact the tops of waterfalls, so when you

46
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 2: look out over these lagoons, you're literally looking out over

47
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 2: the top of a canopy. And then the other place

48
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 2: we went was this little secret beach. The boss takes

49
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 2: me to it that it's quite a hike to get to,

50
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 2: and then you come out in these little coves and

51
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 2: you get actually like a whole cove to yourself, and

52
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 2: there's rock pulls and it's really really, really, really really nice.

53
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 2: We did some natural adventures with Andrea. We had some

54
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 2: foody adventures too. After the book longch you grabbed a

55
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 2: bite at woods in Bangers, which is like.

56
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:53,839
Speaker 1: Obviously where we live.

57
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 2: We went to Doma the next day, which is delicious Japanese.

58
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,679
Speaker 2: I've had so many food adventures. I really feel like

59
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 2: I know about you, but really in the festive.

60
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: Mode, I had a really yummy.

61
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 2: Matcher iced tea at Doma and I got it made

62
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 2: on oat milk, and then they put this dollop of

63
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 2: vegan ice cream in there, so it was kind of

64
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 2: like a spider do you remember spiders?

65
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: What else is on my loost? Here?

66
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 2: Had a yucky experience. I talked about this on my

67
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 2: insert stories. But I just have got a new doctor

68
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 2: here and I thought, oh, let's just do a full,

69
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 2: you know, once over and check. I went in for

70
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 2: my annual kind of like skin check, and I said, oh,

71
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 2: can we just do a little check because I live

72
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 2: half in America, I live half here. I want to

73
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 2: kind of, you know, stay on top of my health

74
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 2: when I'm in Australia. He goes, Yeah, no worries, go

75
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 2: and get a blood test. We'll just you know, check

76
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 2: your liver, do a full blood count and look at

77
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 2: your iron studies.

78
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: And I was like, sounds great.

79
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 2: So I finally got plucked up the courage two and

80
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 2: I had to go in fasted to go in and

81
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 2: got all pathology lab and get my blood. Take him

82
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 2: experienced you couldn't find the vein in either arm, and

83
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 2: then proceed to tell me they had small veins and

84
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 2: then told me to walok in with a senior nurse

85
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 2: in Ballana and I came out. I was like, oh

86
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 2: my god, I call my mum, who's nurse. I was like,

87
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 2: I've got small veins. That was It was pretty trying

88
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 2: it because when they can't find your vein. The neil's

89
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 2: still in there, and they're kind of like wiggling that

90
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 2: thing around and it's pretty uncomfortable. And what they can

91
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 2: do is blow out a vein, which means basically they

92
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 2: go all the way through the vein and then your brain,

93
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 2: your vein needs time to heal. Moms like, you can't

94
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 2: get that. You can't go back in a couple of days.

95
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 2: You're gonna have to let your veins heal. Anyway, I

96
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 2: rebooked to go back yesterday and I booked in with

97
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 2: a senior nurse in Balana, and we got there right

98
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 2: at the time that I was meant to be there,

99
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 2: and there was like fifty people lined up for COVID

100
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 2: tests and.

101
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 1: I was just like, you know what, I'm going to

102
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: do this in the new year.

103
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 2: These are not essential blood tests, like they're not There's

104
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 2: no you know, a huge necessity to get them done.

105
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 2: So yeah, so we avoided the COVID cluster. We're trying

106
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 2: to stay Boss and I are super isolated. Dad's come

107
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 2: up with his beautiful dog Chet as well, and so

108
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 2: we've kind of all been playing it so safe so

109
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 2: that we can have a really fun Christmas together and

110
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 2: We're meant to be in Christmas with the Woods Boys as well,

111
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 2: so I think that's going to be a lot of fun.

112
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 2: It's meant to be storming up here in Byron Bay

113
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 2: on Christmas.

114
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 1: Though.

115
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 2: Another cool place we went to today which again I think

116
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 2: it's a secret spot, but it's really I haven't put

117
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 2: on stories or anything yet, but will be up by

118
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 2: the time if this pod comes out. The water is

119
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 2: like the water in Blue Lagoon, and it's in fact,

120
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 2: I hope this isn't giving anything away, but it's a

121
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 2: quarry and it's really really cool. But it's not a

122
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 2: hike or anything like. You just kind of parking car

123
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 2: and walk hundred meters and then you're at this quarry.

124
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 2: That was a really fun little adventure today with Dad,

125
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 2: Chet his dog and the boss of Chengo. And then

126
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 2: because it wasn't much of a walk, we went to

127
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 2: Blonde Or Beach, which I'd never been to before, which

128
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 2: is a really cool dog beach.

129
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 1: Tierm byrom What else have I got on my list?

130
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: Book Club?

131
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 2: I'm bringing book club back, remember, and I have already

132
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 2: started my book that I want that I'm really excited for.

133
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 2: Actually that I'll do book Club first week back, and

134
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 2: it's all about our psychological archetypes.

135
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: I'm freaking so excited to read it.

136
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 2: I'm only like five pages in though I have finished

137
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 2: though the book that I have.

138
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 1: Been reading for about two weeks. It's called The Actor's Life,

139
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 1: a Survival Guide.

140
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 2: It's by Jenner Fisher, who plays Pam in The American Office.

141
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 2: It's been forward by Steve Carrell, and it's like the

142
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 2: struggles of being an actor. It's a very honest, kind

143
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 2: of like actors Journey book about going to la which

144
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 2: is obviously I'm following that same kind of path. But

145
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 2: it took her I think seven years, and it takes

146
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 2: a lot of people like ten years, twenty years, and

147
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 2: I was like, holy moly, that's a long slog. So

148
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 2: it was just really interesting read. It was quite sobering

149
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 2: as well. It is specific, like if you're into acting,

150
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 2: but there's all these like really inspiring quotes throughout it.

151
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: I'll read you something because I did some highlighting for you.

152
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 2: The first step to a better audition is to give

153
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 2: up character and use yourself. That's cool, basically, just be you.

154
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 2: I did some little highlighting here, a lot. Oh, this

155
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 2: is the chuck Norris quote. A lot of people give

156
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 2: up just before they're about to make it. You know,

157
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 2: you never know when the next obstacle is going to

158
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 2: be the last one. That's very cool, stay consistent. I

159
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 2: love that one. Will Smith is Will Smith quote, I've

160
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 2: always considered myself to be just average talent, and what

161
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 2: I have is ridiculous, insane obsessiveness for practice and preparation.

162
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 2: That's kind of like what motels say about good actors.

163
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 2: It's not that they're super talented, it's that they're like

164
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 2: their work ethic is insane. Oh yeah, there's a whole

165
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 2: secution on multiicam shows, which I love the idea of.

166
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 2: That's kind of like the Big Bag Bang theory. It's

167
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 2: everybody loves Raymond. Okay, here's another. The difference between successful

168
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 2: people and others is how long they spend feelings sorry

169
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 2: for themselves.

170
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: Very cool.

171
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 2: Yes, it's a really good book. It's definitely more actor world.

172
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 2: So if you're not into acting, I probably wouldn't, But

173
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 2: if you're a little bit into acting and especially interested

174
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:40,199
Speaker 2: in going to LA. It really talks about chasing a

175
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 2: dream in LA and the difference between a manager and

176
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 2: an agent and how to get the right headshots and

177
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 2: how not to get swindled and all that kind of thing,

178
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 2: how to get a good self tape to very interesting,

179
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:53,559
Speaker 2: very cool, and.

180
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: I think just like.

181
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 2: Quite honest, and that's what I really liked about it.

182
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 2: So it's called The Actor's Life a Survival Guy and

183
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 2: it's by Jenne Fisher, So if you're into the Office,

184
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 2: I would definitely read it too. She's also got a

185
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 2: podcast with another actor of the Office called The Office Ladies,

186
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 2: and it's really fun and called listen to It and

187
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 2: it's all bts of the show The Office, which I.

188
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: Really enjoyed listening to.

189
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:19,839
Speaker 2: I will be honest with you, I'm a very much

190
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 2: UK Office was my favorite because I'm a humongous Ricky

191
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 2: Gervais fan.

192
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: But it was just really cool to.

193
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 2: Kind of like here a really honest, just an honest

194
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 2: tale of her success and you know, the ups and

195
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 2: the downs and the kind of like forks in the road.

196
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 2: And then next time we chat, I will have finished

197
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 2: the archetype book, and I think that'll be really good

198
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 2: one because I feel like anyone can relate that.

199
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: It's a lot about psychology, it's a lot.

200
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 2: About like your purpose, who you naturally are as a human,

201
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 2: So I really want to get that read and then

202
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 2: the book after that. I either want to do another

203
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 2: like an autobiography. I've got like six I've got to

204
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 2: read over summer, either an autobiography. I've just bought Brian

205
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 2: Cox's autobiography and he is plays Logan roy on Succession,

206
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 2: or there's a health book that I really want to

207
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 2: read too. So so much reading ahead of me.

208
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: I am in the.

209
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 2: Full swing festive mode food wise, and that's so much fun.

210
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 2: We made mince pies yesterday, gluten free mince pies that

211
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 2: didn't work. So I've had a few dms already asking

212
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 2: for the recipe and bosses like they did not work.

213
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: They were not good.

214
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:36,439
Speaker 2: Basically, we saw this advertised at a supermarket, this fruit

215
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 2: mince like in a jar that had like a twang

216
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 2: of French brand in and we were like, oh, that

217
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 2: sounds great. Matt's Fum's like yeah, it's delicious. Get it

218
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 2: not good. It just tastes like full brandy. It doesn't

219
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 2: taste like proper spicy fruit mince. So that didn't work

220
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:53,439
Speaker 2: and we ended up using the rest of the pastry

221
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 2: this morning and turning it into like mini Linsa torts,

222
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 2: so like the Alma Mile pastry based because we make

223
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 2: it good. And then we just put our favorite raspberry

224
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 2: jam in it and baked it for ten minutes.

225
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: That ended up being what we made. What else are

226
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 1: we doing for Crimbo?

227
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 2: We've got Chrissy Paul, We're gonna do My mum is

228
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 2: famous for making brandy cream, so we're gonna make brandy

229
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 2: cream on Christmas Day.

230
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: Be fun.

231
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 2: I think Christmas Day, Boxing Day getting a lot of fun.

232
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 2: Obviously it's Christmas Eve tomorrow Boss has already bought a

233
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 2: roast chicken for tomorrow night. I think we're yeah fully

234
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 2: in the swing. And then here's my plan. Tell me

235
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 2: what you think, what you're thinking of doing. But like

236
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 2: it's hard if you're a way, of course, but I'm

237
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 2: so Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day, and even today

238
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 2: the twenty third, when I'm recording this, that's kind of

239
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 2: for me. Just have fun, mindfully, enjoy all the treats,

240
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 2: all the food, Like just.

241
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 1: Enjoy yourself, yolo, you know.

242
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 2: And then from the twenty seventh, that's kind of like

243
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 2: when I go, Okay, you've had so much fun. You've

244
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 2: had a food party, you've had the best time ever.

245
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 2: And then you kind of just like slowly dial it

246
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 2: in like as far as like I just switch from

247
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:04,959
Speaker 2: like all the umu sugar.

248
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: I love sweet things.

249
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 2: I switch back from all sugar to like fruit in

250
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,599
Speaker 2: the place of sugar, and you know, just healthier alternatives

251
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 2: and loads of salads and loads of edgies, and just

252
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 2: like get as much nourishment in between Christmas and New

253
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 2: Year because if I let that Christmas fiesta go all

254
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 2: the way near y, I just set myself up for

255
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 2: like indulging and it's really hard to pull for me.

256
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:29,839
Speaker 1: So I had to pull the handbrake up at the

257
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: best times. Yes, that's my plan.

258
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 2: So enjoy Christmas, have the best time, have all that

259
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 2: brandy cream and yummy pud and all that, and then

260
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 2: Boxing Day you got leftovers, so you just include that

261
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 2: as part of Christmas, and then just be really wholesome

262
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 2: and nourishing between the day after Box the twenty seventh

263
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 2: all the way through to New Year's Eve and then

264
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 2: Boss and I have a tradition for New Year's Eve,

265
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 2: and New Ye's Eve is always just the two of us.

266
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 2: We've got a favorite beach environ. We take a bottle

267
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 2: of red wine. We make a little healthy antipasto kind

268
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,839
Speaker 2: of boared, and we just chill out, the two of us,

269
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 2: and it is so nice. We watched the sunset. It

270
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 2: is like our favorite way to bring in the new year,

271
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,959
Speaker 2: and it's we started the traditional when we first moved

272
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:17,559
Speaker 2: here so last year and we were both like, oh,

273
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 2: that was our favorite New Year, so we're going to

274
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 2: do that again.

275
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: So I'm really I'm really looking forward to that.

276
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean still my idea of like doing

277
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,719
Speaker 2: a few nourishing days between Christmas and New Year so

278
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 2: you don't feel like you're in that weird.

279
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 1: Limbo of like I have no purpose, Who am I?

280
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: What am I?

281
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 2: And see if you can move as well, Like I'm

282
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 2: going to try and book into a few pilates classes

283
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 2: and move the bard, swim in the ocean, all the

284
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,079
Speaker 2: things that make you feel good.

285
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: What else have I got here? I've got all my.

286
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 2: Book launch notes to make sure I didn't forget to

287
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 2: thank anybody. But basically, when I had the book launch

288
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 2: last week, I think I said at the top of

289
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 2: the top of the episode, we did yogs. We went outside,

290
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 2: had these amazing soul cleans juices as you know I

291
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 2: did a cleanse.

292
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:07,839
Speaker 1: Did I tell you that last week?

293
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:08,079
Speaker 2: Yeah?

294
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: I would have did a cleanse last week?

295
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I recorded my episode during cleans and that

296
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 2: was really cool.

297
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 1: Love that.

298
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 2: So they also smuantored the launch so you could come

299
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 2: out and get like a carrot, you know, a carrot

300
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 2: spice juice, or there was a watermelon and we mint

301
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 2: one or greens or really really yummy.

302
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: And they we did.

303
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 2: We kind of like had my train thought is going,

304
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 2: this is what happens when I ate sweet things.

305
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: I'm like, what am I thinking about? I've got like

306
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: a little siev brain.

307
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 2: But we basically did yogs, went outside, had some juices,

308
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 2: got the gaudy bags which were like alot like full

309
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 2: of so many fun things.

310
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 1: Then it was home time.

311
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 2: I kept it real simple and fun and cover friendly,

312
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 2: like I said, like it's my tradition to have a

313
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 2: book launch, and I'm so glad that I was able

314
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 2: to like keep it. You know, I was so nervous

315
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 2: that it wasn't going to go ahead. And then I

316
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 2: flew back from America and I've done all this. That's

317
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 2: the other thing I've done all this week. I've been

318
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 2: doing heaps of book signings all around Byron Bay Lismore, Ballina.

319
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 2: And it's one thing I will say, So the mask

320
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 2: mandate is no more in New South Wales, but I've

321
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 2: been still wearing a mask.

322
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: Boss has still been wearing a mask.

323
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 2: And every bookstore I've been into, everyone's wearing masks, like

324
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 2: every worker. I kept mine on the whole time. It

325
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 2: was kind of nice to see, considering it's not a

326
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 2: mandate now, but everyone's just doing the right thing to

327
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 2: protect one another.

328
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: You know, that's my feels. That was my feels. I'll

329
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: tell you.

330
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 2: I can't tell you what I've got bossa Chinghi for

331
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 2: Christmas because he might hear it, but I will say

332
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 2: I've got him a couple of things, and I've stuck

333
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 2: with the Christmas. The Christmas theme this year is Harry Potter,

334
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 2: so there's some fun little things in there for him

335
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 2: as well. I think our plan on Crimbo Day is

336
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 2: going to be Brecky. Dad's just going to come over.

337
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 2: We prezzies Brecky and I'm like kind of Brecky on

338
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 2: Christmas morning and then go for lunch with the boys,

339
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 2: the Woods Boys, and we'll take We've got prezzies for them.

340
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 2: And whatnot over there and then come back and Matt,

341
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 2: Dad and I.

342
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: Will do a little deserted our house. I think that's

343
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: the plan anyway I think I have. It's so Byron

344
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 1: is such a chill and relaxed place that people.

345
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 2: Are like, yeah, just come do this, and you're just like,

346
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,480

347
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 2: want a clear plan. But I think the morning of

348
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 2: and the preisos I'm really pumped for because I just

349
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 2: giving gifts like fills me up. You know when people

350
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 2: talk about language of love and whatnot. I just get

351
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 2: so excited to give people their gifts, and I like

352
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 2: have an order that.

353
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: I'm going to give.

Speaker 2: It's we mat. It's the same off to a good

361
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 2: old Moleskin diary. And then you get to spend boxing

362
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 2: day and the next day like starting to plan the

363
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 2: next year. My virgo brain is in that much bliss

364
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 2: because I just get to like focus and plan and

365
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 2: goal set love it. That's another thing that I do

366
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 2: in that time between Crimbo and New Year to give

367
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:27,880
Speaker 2: me a sense of feeling purpose and I don't get

368
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 2: that limbo feeling.

369
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:30,440
Speaker 1: I'll get my diary.

370
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 2: I'll start planning out things for January, for February. I

371
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 2: also keep my eyes on it at the moment. There's

372
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,159
Speaker 2: a lot of sales for flights, Like there's always Boxing

373
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 2: day sales for flights, So I'll book any trips that

374
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 2: I've got coming up and get really really cheap flights

375
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 2: if I can like use the time that limbo time

376
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 2: to kind of like just plan, feel really good about your.

377
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 1: Planning to and just have like enjoy have all the fun,

378
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: eat all the food with the people you love.

379
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 2: Just do it mindfully, you know, like food is here,

380
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 2: yes tonorro issue, and that's what it does eighty percent

381
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,439
Speaker 2: of the time, but twenty percent of the time, you

382
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,400
Speaker 2: want to share these beautiful meals with people that you love.

383
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,720
