I feel like 50 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 2: she's just absolutely in her element right now, and I 51 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 2: love seeing it because she just I know that she 52 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 2: went through a rough time, you know, like with her 53 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 2: mum and stuff. So I just feel like she's just 54 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 2: found her like the meaning to life. I think, I 55 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 2: don't know, I don't know something about her. Her content 56 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 2: has changed since she's had a baby, and it's just 57 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 2: so wholesome to watch. I love it. 58 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, I I've been really enjoying her content more recently. 59 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 1: And you mentioned Sky Wheatly. I mean we've been speaking 60 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: about Sky a lot, especially her fox eye surgery and 61 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: the thing about Sky's I agree. I think she's I 62 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 1: don't think she has a bad bone in her body, 63 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: but she's so controversial, Like every week there seems to 64 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 1: be something that she's done that sort of sparked in 65 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: I think it's because she's so honest and actually puts 66 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: all the stuff out there. She doesn't hide a lot 67 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: of what's going on in her life like other influencers too. 68 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 2: That's and that's the thing, like when you get on 69 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 2: social media, I feel like I've become quite numb as 70 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 2: well to what I put out there because I don't 71 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 2: really want to deal with the controversy and the hate. 72 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 2: Where Sky she's just so brutally honest and it just 73 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 2: tells it how it is, and I feel like, yeah, 74 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 2: she's just she's so young too, you know, like she's 75 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 2: just learning through like and she grew up on social 76 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 2: media as well, so it's just I don't know, it 77 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 2: is nice to see her grow and become a mum 78 00:03:59,400 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 2: as well. 79 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: Last year, we predicted that she would be canceled again 80 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: this year in our little end of Yew predictions and 81 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 1: that I don't think that's really happened yet. If anything, 82 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: I think that more people have celebrated her because of 83 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 1: her appearance. I'm a celect yeah exactly. I think everyone's 84 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 1: falling ye with her and I think everyone has a 85 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: soft spot for her, like as the young girl from 86 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 1: bing Brother that we watched, you know, ten years ago, 87 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: but I mean away from Sky Wheatley. I don't know, Amy, 88 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: what made you start your TikTok because it started blowing 89 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 1: up in twenty twenty, and this isn't when everyone sort 90 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,280 Speaker 1: of tried to get on the TikTok bandwagon. But what 91 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 1: made you start? And I suppose what made your content 92 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: stand out? 93 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 2: Look I start. I was a consumer of TikTok for ages, 94 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,280 Speaker 2: but I was working and I had just had two kids, 95 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 2: and I sort of didn't really know, like didn't really 96 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 2: know what to do with it really, but I always 97 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 2: sort of wanted to. I don't know, like it was 98 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 2: weird and how it all happens because I had Billy 99 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,559 Speaker 2: and then Lockdown hit and I was like, well, shit, 100 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 2: like like I don't even know what where like what 101 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 2: clicked in my head to make a video. But I 102 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 2: think like one of my first few ones went viral, 103 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,159 Speaker 2: and it was back when TikTok was like just the 104 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 2: comedy stuff and like the skits and the like the 105 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 2: trending sounds and just like coming up with like a 106 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 2: funny concept to those, and I really kind of I 107 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 2: don't know, I think because I was watching and I 108 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,799 Speaker 2: studied TikTok. I follow a lot of like American moms 109 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 2: that are just freaking so funny so I think I 110 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 2: just started doing those, to be honest, and just started 111 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 2: doing the tiktoks and like adding and the skits and 112 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 2: just like being the parent and the toddler because back 113 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 2: then my kids were not they wouldn't comply to videos, 114 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 2: and they still wouldn't. Really, I don't really like to 115 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,359 Speaker 2: put them. I don't really like to put them in 116 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,280 Speaker 2: the skits and stuff. They're sort of in the background 117 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 2: in the vlogs and the dancing ones and stuff like that. 118 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 2: But yeah, back then, they weren't really in it at all, 119 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 2: and it was just I don't really know. I think 120 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 2: it was just timing for me, to be honest. It 121 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 2: was the right time, the right place, the right sense 122 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 2: of humor, and it just sort of clicked and it 123 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 2: all just went off a little bit. 124 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 1: And you mentioned your kids obviously said they do appear 125 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 1: more in your content now. Was that something that you 126 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:20,280 Speaker 1: worried about sharing about them online? Because we've heard recently 127 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 1: from Steph Claire Smith and she came out and said 128 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,360 Speaker 1: that she now doesn't want to share her son's face 129 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: online because he gets recognized wherever he goes. Is that 130 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: a concern to you, No, not really, It's never really been. 131 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 2: I don't want to sound like a naive to the situation, 132 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 2: but I think where we live in particular, were so 133 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 2: out of the city, Like I feel I live a 134 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 2: little bit rural, so it's not really like I obviously 135 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,600 Speaker 2: think about it, but I just I don't dwell on it, 136 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,159 Speaker 2: do you know what I mean? Like I feel like 137 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 2: I don't show like privacy wise, I don't really show 138 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 2: what's going on with them. I don't show tantrums. I 139 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 2: make sure that like whenever I'm filming, they know that 140 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 2: Mummy's filming video, and like, do you want to be 141 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 2: in it? Do you not want to be in it? 142 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 2: Like they don't, and they know when the video when 143 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 2: the camera's on, and Marley is very my eldest and 144 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 2: my two oldest, they're just like if they don't want 145 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 2: to be a part of it, they won't. And even 146 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 2: my three year olds now, she's just like she doesn't 147 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 2: want to be a part of it. So I don't 148 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 2: force them to do anything. I mean, I still want 149 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 2: to talk about the issues and stuff like that, so 150 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 2: I make sure that if there's like an issue that 151 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 2: I want to discuss to kind of open up the 152 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 2: conversation and share it to TikTok, which you know, advice 153 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 2: and stuff like that, and it opens up, you know, 154 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 2: like when I do my TikTok's talking about autism or 155 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 2: tantrums and stuff like that. I just make sure I 156 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 2: sort of not sharing too much information. I obviously don't 157 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 2: share them in the videos and just sort of discuss 158 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 2: what's going on rather than showing what's going on. If 159 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 2: that may any cent. 160 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: You seem really mindful of it. And I know it's 161 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 1: a really hard one because even with our sister Kate 162 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 1: having a baby recently, I know that's been a discussion 163 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 1: of her. She's like how much do I actually share online? 164 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 1: And it's not like she has a huge personal following. 165 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 1: But you know, most people share photos of their children 166 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: online regardless of if they have a following or not. 167 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 1: And I think the main thing with your content aims 168 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 1: is that you're the main character, you know what I mean, 169 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 1: Like you're too in the background. But it's as you say, 170 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: like you're mindful about what you're sharing, which I mean, yeah, 171 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 1: And as Amy said, there's so many parents these days 172 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 1: who don't have a following, who are constantly sharing so 173 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 1: much content. So it is a really tough one. Well, 174 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: that's that thing of weighing it up, isn't it. Like 175 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 1: I hate when people share content about their kids that 176 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,559 Speaker 1: you think that kid is going to be mortified when 177 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 1: they grow up and they see that they've you know, 178 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 1: the tantrum kind of content. Yeah. 179 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I make sure, like you know, like if 180 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,679 Speaker 2: we're potty training or something like, I'll just talk about 181 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,560 Speaker 2: it rather than showing what we do. Like it's kind 182 00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 2: of like, you know those ones that you definitely have 183 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,560 Speaker 2: to respect your kids privacy in that aspect. And again, 184 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 2: like I ask my kids if they want to be 185 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 2: a part of it or not, and I'll make sure 186 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 2: that they're all okay, But I generally try to keep 187 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 2: them out of it, but they're always in the background anyway. 188 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,199 Speaker 1: It's funny because I actually first came across you when 189 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 1: you were sharing the contents of some of your lollijer. 190 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 1: It was these gummy lollies, and I was like, oh 191 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 1: my god, Like I have to follow James. You actually 192 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,320 Speaker 1: went viral for showing that you feed your kids at 193 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 1: three PM. And I think everyone's like, well, this is 194 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 1: dinner three. It's a fantastic idea. Can you explain like 195 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: the reasoning behind this and how it works. 196 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 2: I copped a lot of flak for people saying that, 197 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,319 Speaker 2: like I thought that I invented and stuff like that, 198 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 2: So I want to firstly put a disclaimer out that 199 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 2: I do not think that I invented the three cock dinners. 200 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,200 Speaker 2: Like I know they do them all across the world. 201 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 2: I definitely am not the first to do it. I 202 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,959 Speaker 2: think my video just went viral and I talked when 203 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 2: I was talking about it, and that's just and people 204 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,079 Speaker 2: were just some people were like, yeah, we've been doing 205 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 2: it for ages, and some people, you know, we're saying 206 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 2: we've just started it and it's the most amazing thing. 207 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 2: But basically, we've had so many issues with food from 208 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 2: day dot to be honest, Like my first child, Marley 209 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 2: had food aversion, so the minute she turned one, she 210 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 2: basically didn't really eat much of anything. So I've sort 211 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:25,319 Speaker 2: of had this really horrible relationship with feeding my children 212 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 2: from day one. So I've gone through a lot in 213 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 2: that sort of aspect where they're always changing and I'm 214 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 2: always trying to find ways to feed them. I'm always 215 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:40,720 Speaker 2: trying to find nutritional foods to put into them and 216 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:45,680 Speaker 2: try and hide the vegetables wherever I can. So it's 217 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 2: always been like a topic for us. It's probably been 218 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 2: the hardest part of parenting in my journey, to be honest. 219 00:10:55,840 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 2: But I think it started because Marley started school and 220 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 2: she came home. She's basically the main one that I 221 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 2: need to get the most nutrients into because the others 222 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,080 Speaker 2: sort of they eat fruit and here and there, but 223 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 2: they're all so different and they all eat different things, 224 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 2: so I'm always cooking different meals anyway. But when she 225 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 2: got home, I found that she was just feeding up 226 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 2: on snacks and like she was so hungry every single 227 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:24,719 Speaker 2: time she'd walk through the door because she doesn't need 228 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 2: anything at lunch, so her lunchbox is always full still, 229 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 2: so she comes home and she's starving. So I thought, well, 230 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 2: why don't I just try to have dinner ready and 231 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,840 Speaker 2: then she can eat her dinner when she gets home. 232 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 2: And then it just started like working. And it works 233 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,200 Speaker 2: for me too, because I prepped dinner sort of around 234 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 2: eleven o'clock, so when the babies are asleep, I can 235 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:51,079 Speaker 2: actually have a rest and I'm not trying to I'm 236 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,080 Speaker 2: not thinking about what I'm going to cook or anything 237 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 2: like that. It's all done. So it's just sort of 238 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 2: worked for me because I always like to be one 239 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 2: step ahead and in like to be able to sort 240 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 2: of sit down and have a rest. I like to 241 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,720 Speaker 2: have everything done. I like to have like dinner prepared 242 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 2: and the kitchen cleaned and everything sort of ready to go. 243 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 2: That's just a me problem though, I think when. 244 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 1: You have such a busy life because away from TikTok, 245 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 1: you also work as a nurse. And it's crazy because 246 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,719 Speaker 1: I think we're seeing more of this where people are 247 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 1: wanting to follow people who have full time jobs or 248 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: work or you know, actually have a career. How does 249 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 1: that work though as a nurse, because surely you get 250 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 1: recognized a lot. 251 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:41,560 Speaker 2: I do. I do. I do. It's it's actually like 252 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:47,560 Speaker 2: the last sort of few months, I've really noticed like 253 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 2: a lot of people recognizing me. Look, it's fine. I 254 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 2: don't like I just forget to be honest. I I 255 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 2: because I do all my videos basically in the like 256 00:12:57,880 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 2: in my home and as I said, we sort of 257 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:01,680 Speaker 2: live out of the city and stuff like that, and 258 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,199 Speaker 2: people do recognize me down here. But as I said 259 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 2: as well, it's like a really safe community around here, 260 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 2: so it's just kind of like I mean, I say 261 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,079 Speaker 2: high to anyone on the street anyway. So it's sort 262 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 2: of like just that little bit of like that extra 263 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:20,200 Speaker 2: element of they know everything about my life, but weren't 264 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 2: no working. I'm only really working as much to keep 265 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:28,559 Speaker 2: my registration at the moment, because you know, as you said, 266 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 2: like it's really quite the logistics of me working isn't 267 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,440 Speaker 2: really even worth it at this point. It's more just 268 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 2: to keep my registration so I can go back when 269 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 2: all the kids go back to school. So because everyone's 270 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 2: in such a different routine, like having only one at 271 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 2: school and then two at daycare and then one always 272 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 2: with me, Like it's just no one's in the same 273 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 2: routine yet, So even the thought of me going to work, 274 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 2: it's just a logistical nightmare at the moment. 275 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 1: So do you think you'd ever want to become a 276 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 1: full time content creator? Is that something that's on the 277 00:13:58,559 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 1: cards for you? 278 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 2: Look like, I already am a full time content creator 279 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 2: and a nurse, and I would never ever ever stop nursing. 280 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 2: It just that would be ridiculous, would be really silly 281 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 2: for me, because you know, like like I understand other 282 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 2: people do do that, and I completely agree with, Like 283 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 2: that's completely their decision. But for me personally, you know, 284 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 2: like I'm thirty nine, Like I'm not going to be 285 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 2: relevant forever on this app, do you know what I mean? 286 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 2: So I'm very realistic with how relevant I'm going to 287 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 2: be for what amount of time and to give up 288 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 2: my neur Like I studied for years to you know, 289 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 2: become a nurse, and I've worked really hard to get 290 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 2: to the position that I am at the hospital where 291 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 2: I'm able to just kind of work when I want to, 292 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 2: do you know what I mean? So for me to 293 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 2: give that up would just be silly. And I love 294 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 2: being a nurse. I'm so passionate about being a nurse. 295 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 2: But i love social media as well, So I feel 296 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 2: like I've got the best of both worlds, to be honest, 297 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 2: And it's kind. 298 00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 1: Of a double edged sword, isn't it, Because people follow 299 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 1: you because you're relatable and they want to see you 300 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: as a working mum And that's sort of a is 301 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 1: a strange one, now, isn't it, Because there's so many 302 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 1: content creators. For example, there's that guy who posts about 303 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 1: his nine to five, which looks a bit soul destroyed, 304 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 1: like he could have his job because he's got so 305 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 1: opportunities but he can't. We've had the same conversations too, 306 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 1: like I feel sad, like us being like, you know, 307 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 1: you're saying you're thirty nine and like we're thirty five, 308 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: and I feel like, as women, you think, oh my, like, 309 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 1: is no one going to be interested when I reach 310 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 1: my forties? 311 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 2: You know what I mean? 312 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 1: Like it's a sad. It's a risk, isn't it. Social media, podcasting, 313 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 1: all this stuff. You just don't know what the future is. 314 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but it's something that I really enjoyed the moment. 315 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 2: So it's like I'm I'm really happy just writing this 316 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 2: wave while I can like for me to be able 317 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:46,440 Speaker 2: to stay at home and make some money. And but 318 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 2: not only that, like I love creating videos just to 319 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 2: kind of. 320 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 3: You know. 321 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 2: I love being interesting, I love being relevant, I love 322 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 2: being funny. I love making people laugh. Like that's all 323 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 2: about what social media and my content is like. And 324 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 2: I think that the reason I've got so many followers 325 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 2: is because people feel that they see that they see 326 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 2: that I enjoy what I'm doing, So you know, I 327 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 2: feel like that's something that social media misses. Like there's 328 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 2: only like there's a lot of negativity out there, like 329 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 2: if we can get like I follow the people who 330 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 2: I follow are just so uplifting. They're so energetic, they're 331 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 2: so charismatic, They've got they're so interesting, So like I 332 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 2: want to be that for someone else, do you know 333 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 2: what I mean? So yeah, it's it's really fulfilling at 334 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 2: the moment, and I feel like that's another reason I 335 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 2: started it is because like when you are a mom. 336 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 2: And I don't want this to sound negative, but like 337 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 2: when we were in lockdown and I had three children 338 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 2: under four, it was like everything was so similar, Like 339 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 2: the day was the same, we'd waker. It was like 340 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 2: I had this little outlet of TikTok where I could 341 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 2: be funny and I could be relevant and people were 342 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 2: like watching and love and really enjoying it. And I 343 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 2: love making people laugh. I think that's my main sort 344 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,440 Speaker 2: of reason. I love making people laugh, and I love 345 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:13,119 Speaker 2: allowing people to see my life so they don't feel 346 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 2: so alone, do you know what I mean? Like being 347 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,720 Speaker 2: a mom like some like when I went through everything 348 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 2: with Marley's autism diagnosis, I just felt like I was 349 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,919 Speaker 2: the only one going through it, Like what like no, 350 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,880 Speaker 2: like and fussy eaters, like like, what did I do 351 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,679 Speaker 2: to get this? Like I have not done anything wrong 352 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 2: and I've got these children that don't eat anything. And 353 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 2: then as soon as I started posting about it, every 354 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:37,720 Speaker 2: like there was such an influx of people going, oh 355 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 2: my gosh, same, same, same. So we're all like this 356 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 2: to build this community where we could just bounce off 357 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,479 Speaker 2: each other and people didn't feel so alone, and like 358 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 2: people chat in my comments section about like, you know, 359 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 2: tricks and like ideas that they have too, and it's 360 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,880 Speaker 2: just sort of helpful and uplifting. I think. So even 361 00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:58,920 Speaker 2: though we're going through this sucky time trying to get 362 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 2: vegetables into our children, and it's like, you know, someone 363 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 2: across the world is doing the same thing, So it 364 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,400 Speaker 2: feels nice to be connected in a way. That's the thing. 365 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 1: People can be so critical of social media and things. 366 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously there's negatives that come with it, but 367 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 1: there's so many positives as well. And I know, for 368 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,440 Speaker 1: Kate at the moment being on maternity leave, I think 369 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,160 Speaker 1: because obviously Amy and I don't have children, so it's 370 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,639 Speaker 1: very hard for her to relate to what's going on 371 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,640 Speaker 1: in our lives and vice versa isolating. The first time 372 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,880 Speaker 1: you're on maternity leave. It's probably the most isolating time 373 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:30,959 Speaker 1: for women because you don't have that support system if 374 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 1: you work colleagues. And even with Kate, like she hasn't 375 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 1: joined like a mother's group or anything like that. So 376 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:37,880 Speaker 1: I think for her, like she's really resonated with your 377 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 1: content and she's like love following mums in the same 378 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,360 Speaker 1: stage of life. So it's so important, and I think 379 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:45,879 Speaker 1: it's so wonderful that people like you are opening up 380 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 1: about it because we I mean, you think about our mums, 381 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,680 Speaker 1: they probably had not much support at all, and there'd 382 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,200 Speaker 1: be so many unanswered questions. 383 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:57,199 Speaker 2: Oh crazy, Like I just because like Kate especially like 384 00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 2: when she was said that she's like feeding at the moment, 385 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 2: and I'm like, oh, I remember that, because I was 386 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 2: very strict like Kate Kate is and I was like, 387 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 2: this is feeding time. No one like we're not leaving 388 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 2: the house, this is it. And like I didn't lose 389 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,199 Speaker 2: any friends because everyone's still there. They're just sort of 390 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 2: they're letting you do your thing, do you know what 391 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:19,680 Speaker 2: I mean? Like you know, I'm sure friends didn't call 392 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 2: me because they knew of my strict schedule. But it 393 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 2: doesn't mean that they don't like me. They're just trying 394 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:28,160 Speaker 2: to mind, you know, minding my business. So I mean 395 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,399 Speaker 2: I get it, and like, and that's the thing. Was like, like, 396 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 2: as you said, like, I have no idea what my 397 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,159 Speaker 2: mom did. My mom had me in Venezuela and she 398 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 2: had my sister who is eighteen months older than me, 399 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,639 Speaker 2: and she lived in like I think they're in some 400 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 2: expat community, and she didn't know any Spanish, and like 401 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,160 Speaker 2: it was just I have no idea how she would 402 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 2: have done it. She wouldn't have been able to watch 403 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:53,959 Speaker 2: TV or anything because it would all have been in 404 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 2: a different language. I'm like, how did you not? How 405 00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,400 Speaker 2: did you survive that? Like that would have been so pressing. 406 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:04,120 Speaker 1: It's a bit like our mum having triplets, because we've 407 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 1: spoken to her and we're like, how did you even 408 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 1: leave the house with three children? She's like, I didn't 409 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 1: for like over a year. Because yeah, you just hear 410 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,359 Speaker 1: these stories from your parents and you're like, Wow, you 411 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,639 Speaker 1: guys are incredible. And I think something else that probably 412 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 1: a lot of your audience has connected with is that 413 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 1: you have candidly shared about your challenges with sobriety in 414 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 1: your early twenties. If you do feel comfortable talking about it, 415 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,439 Speaker 1: are you able to share with listeners your journey? 416 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:28,479 Speaker 2: Well? 417 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:32,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, look, I let people know that, you know, 418 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 1: I'm sober, and I went through this hard time and 419 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 1: blah blah blah. 420 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 2: But I don't really I've never really kind of gone 421 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:43,040 Speaker 2: into it, not because I don't, not because I'm ashamed 422 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 2: or anything. It is definitely it's who I am. You know, 423 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:49,919 Speaker 2: It's a part of my story, but I don't. I 424 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 2: don't want that to be my content, if that makes 425 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 2: any sense. Yeah, because and like I want people to 426 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 2: know that, yes, I'm sober, Yes I went through a 427 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 2: hard time, but this is what happens when you give up, 428 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 2: Like this is my life. My life now is because 429 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 2: I'm not drinking, do you know what I mean? Like 430 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:12,719 Speaker 2: it's like, you know, like there's a lot of Whenever 431 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 2: I mention it, I get a lot of questions. But 432 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 2: the second I sort of start answering those questions, my 433 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 2: whole content will become that. And as I said, I'm 434 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 2: not ashamed of it, and I do want to help 435 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 2: in a way, but I feel like i'd be helping 436 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:31,239 Speaker 2: more by sharing what the best that comes out of 437 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 2: becoming sober, Like what what you can have if you 438 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,399 Speaker 2: give up you know that hard if you give up 439 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,400 Speaker 2: the drink. Like honestly, it was. It was a really 440 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:44,159 Speaker 2: tough time for me. Like my whole twenties is a 441 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 2: bit of a blur. I just I started drinking like normal, 442 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 2: like normally, I think I liked to party a lot 443 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 2: more than other people. But like I still you know, 444 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 2: managed to you know, have a steady job through the week. 445 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 2: I studied a whole bunch of things in my twenties. 446 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:04,159 Speaker 2: I went to tay If, I went to college, and 447 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,879 Speaker 2: all these different sort of career paths, but none of 448 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:10,160 Speaker 2: them really resonated with me as much as nursing does. 449 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 2: And I went from in my late twenties, I sort 450 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 2: of was in and out of rehab for ages, and 451 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 2: then finally got sober at twenty seven, and then met 452 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 2: my husband at twenty eight, and then did my nursing degree, 453 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 2: and it just all kind of everything happened in a 454 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,680 Speaker 2: very quick time, Like I got married, had four kids, 455 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:30,680 Speaker 2: and all that kind of stuff, have my nursing degree, 456 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,719 Speaker 2: We bought a house, we built a house. It just 457 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:38,880 Speaker 2: so many good things came from me become like finally 458 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 2: stopping drinking. 459 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,240 Speaker 1: It's kind of become good that so yeah, yeah, And 460 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,640 Speaker 1: because I mean, I don't drink, and that's just been 461 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 1: a choice. I've just never really got into it. And 462 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:52,640 Speaker 1: it's funny because a few people, like my husband, he 463 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 1: didn't drink for I think it was like three months, 464 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 1: and he's like, I actually feel so good. And it's 465 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,119 Speaker 1: good that people are talking about that as well. But 466 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 1: I think it's important, as you said, for people to 467 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 1: see what's on the other side of you changing your life. 468 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 1: So it's really positive to see someone who's made a 469 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,399 Speaker 1: huge success of their life and the fact that you 470 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,919 Speaker 1: got through it. You did touch on your husband. I 471 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 1: have to bring this up. He doesn't like being in 472 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:15,400 Speaker 1: your content? 473 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 2: Does he? 474 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 1: I can relate to that with my. 475 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,119 Speaker 2: It's not so much that he doesn't like being in 476 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 2: my content. He's just never liked photos or videos of 477 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:27,879 Speaker 2: himself like that. Even on our wedding day was it 478 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 2: was a struggle to get photos like it's now it's 479 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 2: not really about it's not really about social media. It's 480 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,720 Speaker 2: not really there's no like real kind of I feel 481 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:37,679 Speaker 2: I feel like some of my followers want the like 482 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 2: the the duty details. I'm like, it's really nothing. It's 483 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 2: really nothing more than he just doesn't like photos of 484 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:48,400 Speaker 2: himself and he never has, like I don't think I can. 485 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 2: I think his mom has given me like three or 486 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 2: four photos of his whole childhood. So it's just him, like, 487 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 2: it's just not he doesn't like it. So and I 488 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,360 Speaker 2: would never force him, Like he's happy now to kind 489 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:07,119 Speaker 2: of be in the background, because he realizes, you know, 490 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 2: this is our life now and he's really supportive of 491 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 2: that and he's really happy for me. So he's like 492 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,640 Speaker 2: he doesn't mind being in the background. He just would never, 493 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 2: you know, actively be on camera. 494 00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 1: Well, while we're talking about your husband, which I'm sure 495 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 1: he loves us discussing him on a podcasts. 496 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 2: Right, he really doesn't mind anymore. He just doesn't want 497 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:29,719 Speaker 2: to be on the camera. 498 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 1: I mean, I get it. Obviously, this is a Christmas 499 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:36,680 Speaker 1: special episode and we want to talk about Christmas. I 500 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 1: want to know because everyone, I don't know people's husbands 501 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 1: are different at Christmas time, but I want to know, 502 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 1: what is your husband like? Is he like a last 503 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 1: minute shopper? Do you have to do most of the 504 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 1: shopping for the kids or is he quite a good 505 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 1: guy when it comes to present buying. 506 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 2: I do most of the shopping. When it comes to 507 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 2: like clothes and books and toys, I don't go too crazy. 508 00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,199 Speaker 2: I've set the bar very low with our kids, so 509 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,720 Speaker 2: they get Santa presence and they usually just get one 510 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 2: joint from me and him. But in saying that, like 511 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:12,359 Speaker 2: he's very good at finding things that the kids like, 512 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:16,159 Speaker 2: so like, for example, Marley like surfing. So when it 513 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 2: comes when it comes to presence, they say, it's all 514 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,639 Speaker 2: or nothing for him. So it's like he will research 515 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 2: the best board for a seven year old and like 516 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 2: he gets really into it that way. But he has 517 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,679 Speaker 2: to sort of know what they like. So Indy, I 518 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 2: think he's going to get some art stuff in it, 519 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:36,399 Speaker 2: and he'll just randomly come up and they'll be like, 520 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,119 Speaker 2: I've got this really great idea for a Christmas present 521 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,680 Speaker 2: football and I'm like, yeah, that's great, do it, let's 522 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:45,879 Speaker 2: do it. We'll wrap it up. Yeah. Yeah, So like 523 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:47,479 Speaker 2: he had, he's a thinker. 524 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,239 Speaker 1: Yeah, And you spoke last year a lot on your 525 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 1: TikTok about Christmas budgeting because Sophie and I were having 526 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,239 Speaker 1: this very discussion the other day about like how much 527 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,160 Speaker 1: you actually spend on a child because it's the first 528 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 1: time we've had a child in the family buy for. 529 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:02,879 Speaker 1: And I even had this discussion with my husband. He 530 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 1: was like, the kids don't know what they're getting, you know, 531 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:07,919 Speaker 1: when they're a baby, so it doesn't matter. I'm like, 532 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:09,920 Speaker 1: I don't know what's your take on that, Like how 533 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 1: much do you think you should spend on your children. 534 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,639 Speaker 2: One hundred percent with your parents, with your husband on 535 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:20,399 Speaker 2: that one? You honestly, for Kate's baby, you could get 536 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 2: them a set of keys and they'd be right, like, honestly, 537 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 2: like a potato masher, like seriously, like I am not 538 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 2: like I love the active giving. I love them opening 539 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 2: presents and stuff like that, but they really don't need much. 540 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,720 Speaker 2: They really don't need much. And if you set the barlow, 541 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,359 Speaker 2: like I said, so when I say set the barlow, 542 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,160 Speaker 2: they're still getting presents. They're getting some books, they're getting 543 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:47,120 Speaker 2: some clothes, they're getting some toys. Of course, of course 544 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,399 Speaker 2: they're getting toys and toys that they like too. I 545 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 2: think this is kind of last year in this year, 546 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 2: like the first sort of years where the bigger girls 547 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 2: are telling me exactly what they want. But then like 548 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:03,600 Speaker 2: in saying that who, they'll be happy with whatever if 549 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 2: that makes an his ends, I know what they like. 550 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,120 Speaker 2: So as long as they get a few really exciting ones. 551 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,200 Speaker 2: And then they've got the books that they open the 552 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 2: presence and they're like, it's just the fact that they're 553 00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 2: opening the paper is actually more exciting than what's inside. Yeah, 554 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,119 Speaker 2: because the girls are a bit older, I think my 555 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,919 Speaker 2: budget is obviously going to be a bit bigger and 556 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:27,719 Speaker 2: we don't need They don't need any bikes or anything 557 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:29,920 Speaker 2: at the moment, so I think we're going to be 558 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 2: pretty cruisy this year. Honestly, we're just pretty humble when 559 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,679 Speaker 2: it comes to Christmas. And I mean that in like 560 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 2: the least dickiest way, Like I don't want to be 561 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:43,320 Speaker 2: like a pick me kind of girl, but like we 562 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:48,639 Speaker 2: really just keep it really low key and on that 563 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 2: we go to my husband's house usually for Christmas. If 564 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,240 Speaker 2: not the day, then like we pick a day. It 565 00:27:55,280 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 2: depends on his siblings and his parents spoil them so 566 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,200 Speaker 2: and they get so much stuff from my parents as well, 567 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:06,439 Speaker 2: So I think, you know, as long as there's stuff 568 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,359 Speaker 2: in the Santa Sax, you're fine. I'm probably even gonna 569 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:11,159 Speaker 2: say fifty dollars a kid, to be honest. 570 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 1: Yet, you know, like those tiktoks from those American kids 571 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,200 Speaker 1: and they're doing the PowerPoint presentations of what they want 572 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,639 Speaker 1: and then they do the whole in they're like they drunk. 573 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 2: All I thought that was satire for so long. I 574 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 2: honestly thought, I thought there's no way, like I get 575 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,480 Speaker 2: it when the kids are a bit older. I understand 576 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:33,320 Speaker 2: because like you know that, like an ad comes on 577 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,440 Speaker 2: on TV and my kids are all over it. But 578 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:39,280 Speaker 2: at this age, they don't know anything else. Like we 579 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,400 Speaker 2: don't have a Nintendo, don't They don't have game boys 580 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 2: or anything like that. They have their iPads and that's 581 00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 2: it because they don't know any different. I think the 582 00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,320 Speaker 2: second we get a Nintendo, and we're not really a 583 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 2: Nintendo family, so I don't think we would ever really 584 00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 2: get one until they go to someone else's house and say, oh, 585 00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,479 Speaker 2: they've got this Nintendo. I really want it, because they 586 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:03,000 Speaker 2: would have no idea what Nintendo is until they see 587 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,680 Speaker 2: it somewhere else, you know what I mean? So as 588 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 2: long as yeah, so they don't know anything else, so 589 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,520 Speaker 2: that the only way they're going to know about something 590 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:13,760 Speaker 2: is through you. So if you just keep it really 591 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 2: low and just make the magic of Christmas be something else, 592 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 2: like the act of giving. Like maybe even this year, 593 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:23,960 Speaker 2: I think I might get Marley to, you know, give 594 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:25,960 Speaker 2: her a little bit of money to get presents for 595 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 2: her siblings and stuff like that, so they can give 596 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,479 Speaker 2: to each other. And I like the fact that, you know, 597 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,480 Speaker 2: I can take the big girls out and we can 598 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 2: go by Daddy a present and they get them involved 599 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 2: in that side of it rather than them just getting things. 600 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,520 Speaker 1: So true about the magic of Christmas and making it 601 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:43,880 Speaker 1: special for them. Because growing up, we had a girl 602 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 1: at our school and her parents would just go next 603 00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 1: level about making it magic, especially on Christmas Eve, so 604 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,640 Speaker 1: they'd get up on the roof and they would stomp around. 605 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,400 Speaker 1: Do you and your husband do anything like that? Like 606 00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,960 Speaker 1: I saw, for instance, Steph Claire Smith, they were doing 607 00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,520 Speaker 1: the whole ritual where they'd nibble on all the carrots 608 00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:02,520 Speaker 1: and like, what's in trouble for that? 609 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 2: Though? 610 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:06,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, is there something that you've done that people? Yeah, 611 00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:08,520 Speaker 1: there were all these like grinches who are like, how 612 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 1: dare you? My child has seen this and it's like, 613 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 1: but why is your five years old. 614 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 2: I got Actually I got a bit of slack for 615 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,680 Speaker 2: it too, because I've made the night before Christmas eves 616 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 2: like being sent to basically and wrapping all the presents, 617 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,440 Speaker 2: and I got a lot of people saying like, you 618 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,120 Speaker 2: should have put a trigger warning in front of this, 619 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:30,680 Speaker 2: So I was like, oh, really, like why are you showing. 620 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:35,040 Speaker 1: I blame TikTok. There should be parameters up, maybe if 621 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:38,040 Speaker 1: you're ontok trigger warning for everything these days like that 622 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:39,240 Speaker 1: now things Yeah. 623 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, And I like even to even as like 624 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,160 Speaker 2: far as me using sugar these days, like I need 625 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:50,840 Speaker 2: to put a trigger warn It's just like, yeah, sugar 626 00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,640 Speaker 2: and vegetable oil.

I love those, and we 633 00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 2: decorate them and then we leave one of those out 634 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:23,520 Speaker 2: for Santa with a glass of milk. So yeah, that's 635 00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 2: sort of all we kind of do, like we don't 636 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,400 Speaker 2: go too crazy, we put Christmas lights on, we love 637 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,080 Speaker 2: a Christmas tree.

Okay, 644 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:53,400 Speaker 1: So I mean this is how into real Christmas trees 645 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,480 Speaker 1: we are. So like, for thirty five years, I've always 646 00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:58,880 Speaker 1: had a real Christmas tree. And then my husband, who 647 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:02,080 Speaker 1: doesn't even like Chris mess he connected the dots that 648 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 1: I like real Christmas trees and when and bought a 649 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,720 Speaker 1: whole packet of like Christmas tree seedlings to grow at 650 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:11,760 Speaker 1: his grandpa's property and so because he realized how expensive 651 00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 1: they were, and he's like, in fifteen years, we're going 652 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,320 Speaker 1: to have a whole load of Christmas trees if I 653 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:20,360 Speaker 1: get one of them for free.

I'm assuming, do 660 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:35,320 Speaker 1: you is that what you do? Is that like you 661 00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:36,880 Speaker 1: have a special day where you go and pick the 662 00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:37,760 Speaker 1: Christmas tree up? 663 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:42,480 Speaker 2: Yeah? So yeah, I've always been a real Christmas tree girl, 664 00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:45,000 Speaker 2: and my husband has always had a fake one, but 665 00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:50,080 Speaker 2: they're fake one is epic too, but like, yeah, I 666 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 2: just something about the smell of the tree is real 667 00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:57,840 Speaker 2: nostalgic for me. We usually go to there's a nursery 668 00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:04,560 Speaker 2: in town on and depending on it's che usually just 669 00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:09,080 Speaker 2: goes and takes the big girls with him, but when 670 00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,200 Speaker 2: the kids grow up a little bit, we'll probably all 671 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:12,000 Speaker 2: go as a family. 672 00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:16,719 Speaker 1: You touched on sugar cookies and we love debating the 673 00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 1: top Christmas recipes. So I want to run you through 674 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:24,280 Speaker 1: some recipes and well not recipes, with some dishes and 675 00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:27,960 Speaker 1: get your rating either if it's a top tier Christmas dish, 676 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,600 Speaker 1: a mid tier Christmas dish, or if it's in the 677 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:31,480 Speaker 1: meth tier. 678 00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:39,280 Speaker 2: So okay, pa over oh top tier absolute banger. That 679 00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,480 Speaker 2: is like, that's what that is something that I look 680 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,440 Speaker 2: forward to every Christmas I love that. 681 00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,960 Speaker 1: I agree, I have to, I have to actually disagree. 682 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:49,960 Speaker 1: I do love a path I do love a Pablo. 683 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,040 Speaker 2: I totally get it. You're either a pad or you're not. 684 00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,200 Speaker 1: I do like it, but I think because our mum 685 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:58,280 Speaker 1: serves it in summer time, not just for Christmas. So 686 00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:02,680 Speaker 1: that's why it's not like a QUINTI because it breaks up. Like, okay, 687 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:04,560 Speaker 1: so the next one is putting. We'll get your take 688 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:07,040 Speaker 1: on putting first before we delve into that debate. 689 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:11,320 Speaker 2: But see, I'm I reckon you're either a pav or 690 00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:14,480 Speaker 2: a pudding, and I would definitely be a pav I think. 691 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:18,239 Speaker 2: I mean, I love I love pudding, and I love 692 00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:21,960 Speaker 2: like the warm you know, warm and up and have 693 00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:23,600 Speaker 2: the cream one and stuff like that. But like in 694 00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:27,400 Speaker 2: the middle of summer, it's not it's not the dessert 695 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:28,640 Speaker 2: of choice, do you know what I mean? 696 00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:30,799 Speaker 1: Like, I'm you have to be sitting under the air 697 00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:33,680 Speaker 1: conditioning almost to be able to consider putting, especially if 698 00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,560 Speaker 1: you've got podcast. Last Christmas was cold in Adelaide and 699 00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,000 Speaker 1: it like just felt wintery, so it was like perfect, 700 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:41,560 Speaker 1: like the one perfect time to have pudding. What you 701 00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:44,480 Speaker 1: need is a little bit of pudding and ice cream 702 00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:47,719 Speaker 1: and then like the path as well when you break up. Yeah, 703 00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:48,959 Speaker 1: yeah you need both. 704 00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:52,560 Speaker 2: But I usually, yeah, I usually have like a selection 705 00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:55,600 Speaker 2: of everything. I've got a huge, like a massive variety 706 00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,680 Speaker 2: when it comes to food, Like I'm not really like 707 00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:03,600 Speaker 2: I would never say no to anything really, so putting 708 00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:07,279 Speaker 2: Pavlova like, it's all just delicious to me. So yeah, 709 00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,959 Speaker 2: but I think Pavlova's is the one that I had 710 00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:10,600 Speaker 2: growing up. 711 00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,160 Speaker 1: You know what it is? I think about putting. I 712 00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:15,080 Speaker 1: don't know, did your family do this where they'd put 713 00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:21,080 Speaker 1: the coins in the pudding? No, you don't like because 714 00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:22,799 Speaker 1: remember we spoke about it, I think last year and 715 00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:24,680 Speaker 1: people were like some people go, oh yeah, yeah I 716 00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:26,760 Speaker 1: used to have coins in my putting, and other people didn't. 717 00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:30,200 Speaker 1: But it's an English traditional, yeah, like our auntie one year, 718 00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:32,799 Speaker 1: I remember she gave out. It was like, if you've 719 00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:34,840 Speaker 1: got a piece of pudding, you almost got six dollars 720 00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,160 Speaker 1: in coins out of this pudding. So of course, even 721 00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:39,120 Speaker 1: if you didn't like it, you wanted it to get 722 00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:42,279 Speaker 1: the money. So yeah, that would be a good service. 723 00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:45,280 Speaker 2: Terry, like what to boil it? 724 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,799 Speaker 1: Well, I think I think it's like normally you meant 725 00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:51,319 Speaker 1: to use like I think the old currency you were 726 00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:54,440 Speaker 1: able to boil it up I think, but now, for example, 727 00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:56,200 Speaker 1: so they just put it on the side of the plate. 728 00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:58,200 Speaker 1: They wouldn't know they sprinkle it in like I mean, 729 00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:00,040 Speaker 1: this was in the nineties, so when people probab we 730 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:01,720 Speaker 1: didn't carry about that sort of stuff. 731 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:03,880 Speaker 2: Oh my god, I would never like, don't do that 732 00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,600 Speaker 2: on TikTok.

Like it's not really 763 00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:36,520 Speaker 2: traditional for me, but if someone brought it, I'd eat 764 00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:38,759 Speaker 2: it for sure. So like probably mid tier. 765 00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:41,479 Speaker 1: To wrap that up on a controversial one, What about 766 00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:47,640 Speaker 1: egg nog? Is that something you can do? 767 00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:54,239 Speaker 2: People like itself? Yeah? I bought some last year because 768 00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:57,040 Speaker 2: it was on special. I'd never tried it before. It 769 00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:59,319 Speaker 2: just goes like vanilla malt. But I think the one 770 00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:01,560 Speaker 2: that I got was just one of them. I think 771 00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:04,439 Speaker 2: eggnog is one of those things that like you've got 772 00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:07,160 Speaker 2: to have the real deal for it to be eggnog. 773 00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:09,960 Speaker 2: But then it gets like distributed to all these like 774 00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:11,759 Speaker 2: different kind of brands and they just kind of put 775 00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:15,480 Speaker 2: their own twang on it. But like, what is actually eggnog? 776 00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:19,160 Speaker 2: It's got like ram in it, it's warm, it's you know, 777 00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:21,400 Speaker 2: and there's stuff that we would buy down at the 778 00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:24,080 Speaker 2: shop that's like the same brand as the custard brand, 779 00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:26,560 Speaker 2: like Peter's or whatever. They're not going to be creating 780 00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:29,479 Speaker 2: like the real eggnog, are they. So I don't know, 781 00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:32,960 Speaker 2: but I would definitely not drink that. And I don't 782 00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:35,120 Speaker 2: think my family has ever had. 783 00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:39,200 Speaker 1: I know, last year you had this viral video. Oh sorry, 784 00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:40,479 Speaker 1: it might have been this year there was a viral 785 00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:43,560 Speaker 1: video where you showed how you repurpose some of the 786 00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:47,480 Speaker 1: kids leftovers. Is leftover is a big thing at Christmas 787 00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:49,279 Speaker 1: time for you? Is there any sort of like go 788 00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:51,400 Speaker 1: to recipes that come to mind? 789 00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:55,000 Speaker 2: We if we did, like we don't actually do a 790 00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:59,200 Speaker 2: family like we don't actually whole host Christmas at ours. 791 00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:02,640 Speaker 2: We go to who again, we go to my in laws? 792 00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:06,120 Speaker 2: So she but then she always like divvys up all 793 00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:11,040 Speaker 2: the leftovers and everyone takes their own packet. So I'm yeah, 794 00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:13,680 Speaker 2: but I don't think there's much you could do like 795 00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:16,719 Speaker 2: with but obviously there is, like with Christmas ham and 796 00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:18,400 Speaker 2: stuff like that, but I think my husband's going to 797 00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:21,319 Speaker 2: be eating that ham before I'm able to kind of 798 00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:25,799 Speaker 2: do anything with it, to be honest. But honestly, the 799 00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:30,719 Speaker 2: repurposing videos and stuff only really happened recently with just 800 00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:35,480 Speaker 2: the amount of like with my fourth now eating as well, 801 00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:39,239 Speaker 2: there's just so much waste and it just gets to 802 00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:42,320 Speaker 2: a point where I just couldn't handle throwing it out anymore. 803 00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:47,320 Speaker 2: So I was just, yeah, I just but it's usually 804 00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:51,480 Speaker 2: only breakfast stuff, if I'm completely honest, or sandwich crusts 805 00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:54,400 Speaker 2: and things like that. But when it comes to dinner, like, 806 00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:58,120 Speaker 2: I'm not going to go reheating chicken three or four times. 807 00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:01,200 Speaker 2: It's just it's about a sound treat thing as well. 808 00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:03,839 Speaker 2: And my hat is gonna jump on that one too, 809 00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:07,680 Speaker 2: because they think that I'm cooking up like snotty cereal 810 00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:09,799 Speaker 2: and stuff like that, but it's not the case at all. 811 00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:12,960 Speaker 2: It's usually the cereal that I pour and I give 812 00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:15,359 Speaker 2: it to them because I'm just on autopilot and that's 813 00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:17,279 Speaker 2: what they had yesterday. And then they look at it 814 00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:19,440 Speaker 2: and they're like, no, I want some toast, And I'm like, 815 00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:22,120 Speaker 2: are you are you kidding me? Like it's just eat 816 00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:25,120 Speaker 2: that and the like there's no way I can force 817 00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:27,960 Speaker 2: my child to eat like it's just and then I'm 818 00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:30,239 Speaker 2: not gonna I'm not gonna sit there and like tell 819 00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:32,920 Speaker 2: them to go hungry or eat it. Like that's just 820 00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:35,200 Speaker 2: not the parenting style I have. So I'm like, Okay, 821 00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:37,719 Speaker 2: it's usually my fault anyway, because as I said, I 822 00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:40,000 Speaker 2: go on autopilot and I'm just making the same thing 823 00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:42,239 Speaker 2: as they had yesterday. But maybe they weren't want the 824 00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:43,520 Speaker 2: same thing as they had yesterday. 825 00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:45,200 Speaker 1: I'm sure all the trus did have an issue if 826 00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:47,560 Speaker 1: you were just like wasting food and throwing it out too. 827 00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:49,640 Speaker 1: So I feel like you can never wait with people there. 828 00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:54,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, I did this this bistle, add this vacuum ad 829 00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:56,040 Speaker 2: and I poured a few little cocoa pops on the 830 00:40:56,040 --> 00:41:01,040 Speaker 2: ground and they ate it up. So now like, who's 831 00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:06,640 Speaker 2: the hypocrite? Like, oh my god, yeah, totally, I can't win. Honestly, 832 00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:08,120 Speaker 2: It's just it's crazy. 833 00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:10,719 Speaker 1: How do you deal with the criticism, because I know, 834 00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:13,040 Speaker 1: even like on a smaller level with our podcast, I 835 00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:16,400 Speaker 1: found the criticism hard and I find myself going and 836 00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:19,760 Speaker 1: reading negative comments. Do you what's your sort of tactic 837 00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:20,600 Speaker 1: with dealing with it? 838 00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:24,400 Speaker 2: Well, I don't. I don't read the forums anymore. Because 839 00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:33,359 Speaker 2: there was one one sort of trail of one what 840 00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:36,799 Speaker 2: do they even call? Because it t one? Oh no, 841 00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:42,319 Speaker 2: that was what was it? What the other? No, there's 842 00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:47,160 Speaker 2: another credit? Yeah, yeah, So there was a Reddit post 843 00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:49,919 Speaker 2: and it was like it was horrible, but it wasn't 844 00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:52,000 Speaker 2: about me. It was about one of my daughters. So 845 00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:55,040 Speaker 2: after I read that, Yeah, after I read that, I 846 00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:58,719 Speaker 2: was like, I'm not going on anymore. And that was 847 00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:01,719 Speaker 2: probably about six months ago, and I was just like, 848 00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:03,840 Speaker 2: that's it. I'm done. And then ever since i've stopped 849 00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:07,239 Speaker 2: reading that, I'm pretty good, Like I'm pretty okay with 850 00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:10,759 Speaker 2: the comments that come up because they're just so ridiculous. Like, 851 00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:13,759 Speaker 2: but the forums, that's where I found myself sort of 852 00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:15,680 Speaker 2: going into a little bit of a hole with because 853 00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:19,480 Speaker 2: it's just they're just literally making up stories and you've 854 00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:22,880 Speaker 2: got no way to defend yourself and there are people 855 00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:27,239 Speaker 2: on there defending you. But like it's just honestly, it 856 00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:31,640 Speaker 2: did my head in not being able to defend myself, 857 00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:35,640 Speaker 2: and for like like trying to work out how they 858 00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:37,960 Speaker 2: even came up with that, for example, like taking my 859 00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:40,839 Speaker 2: kids to the pool. There was this one thing where 860 00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:43,480 Speaker 2: they were saying that I was just sitting there on 861 00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:46,280 Speaker 2: my phone and my kids are just in the pool 862 00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:52,600 Speaker 2: by themselves. I was like, what do you mean my kids? 863 00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:56,239 Speaker 2: What do you mean? Like, how would I take how 864 00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:58,160 Speaker 2: would that even be possible? 865 00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:00,440 Speaker 1: It's just awful when it's just a flat out and 866 00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:03,239 Speaker 1: as you said, you can't defend yourself. And I just 867 00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:05,799 Speaker 1: think that those like they really need to have some 868 00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:09,239 Speaker 1: sort of regulations around those forums because then, like I mean, 869 00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:12,520 Speaker 1: even though as well, like I don't understand how they 870 00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:15,440 Speaker 1: can get along. Something I find crazy about tattle Life 871 00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:18,959 Speaker 1: obviously not read, but tatle Life is that you can't 872 00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:22,040 Speaker 1: even join it without getting a referral link. So even 873 00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:24,120 Speaker 1: if you did want to jump in there and defend yourself, 874 00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:26,880 Speaker 1: which probably wouldn't be a good idea, be the worst idea, 875 00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:28,799 Speaker 1: but I'm just saying, even if you did, you can't 876 00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:32,520 Speaker 1: even get on there. Like I always say this to 877 00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:36,360 Speaker 1: Sophie as well like sensitive, so something like tattle Life, 878 00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:39,080 Speaker 1: it's you know, they toout it as it's a snark site, 879 00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:41,160 Speaker 1: and so I just think if you go in with 880 00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:43,640 Speaker 1: the mentality of they're never going to say anything nice 881 00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:46,080 Speaker 1: about you, like it's literally your place to be vile. 882 00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:50,839 Speaker 1: So I think it's I think when them red it's 883 00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:53,960 Speaker 1: one step further. Who takes a thread on a child. 884 00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:57,520 Speaker 2: You don't like? It was like it was the most 885 00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:00,800 Speaker 2: horrible thing, like it was talking about their way as well, 886 00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:04,239 Speaker 2: Like it was just the most disgusting post and it 887 00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:06,920 Speaker 2: had been deleted, so it was just the comments underneath, 888 00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:09,560 Speaker 2: so I didn't actually read the post. It was just 889 00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:13,479 Speaker 2: the comments underneath, just alluding to the fact that that's 890 00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:16,600 Speaker 2: what the person originally posted. And it was just so 891 00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:20,200 Speaker 2: disgusting that I just almost threw my phone and just 892 00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:25,239 Speaker 2: said never again. But then but like going past that, 893 00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:28,839 Speaker 2: just the comments that I get, like they honestly, they 894 00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:31,000 Speaker 2: don't get to me anymore. I don't think I ever 895 00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:34,480 Speaker 2: really did, because it's just like you're old, you're ugly, 896 00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:36,040 Speaker 2: your styles. 897 00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:40,359 Speaker 1: Would like those things are true at all, I don't 898 00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:40,879 Speaker 1: really matter. 899 00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:45,120 Speaker 2: Well, I think it's more like, honestly, it's just the 900 00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:48,000 Speaker 2: ones usually that go viral. So it's a catch twenty 901 00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:50,160 Speaker 2: two when you go viral, because it's like it opens 902 00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:53,480 Speaker 2: you up to this dark web where they're just saying 903 00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:56,440 Speaker 2: things because they just like I don't even know why. 904 00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:59,680 Speaker 2: But to be honest, I really don't care. Honestly, a 905 00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:03,040 Speaker 2: lot of of those negative comments actually fuel my content 906 00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:06,280 Speaker 2: and you get a lot of engagement when you snap 907 00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:09,279 Speaker 2: back at comments like that. So to be honest, like 908 00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:13,520 Speaker 2: bring them on because they are actually feeding feeding my content. 909 00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:17,200 Speaker 2: They're making me more relevant and I just like that 910 00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:19,640 Speaker 2: and they don't even realize that they do it. I 911 00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:22,120 Speaker 2: don't think so I love that. 912 00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:25,360 Speaker 1: I feel like we shouldn't end it. I feel like 913 00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:27,160 Speaker 1: we shouldn't And even though that was a really positive 914 00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:28,800 Speaker 1: sentiment you had, I feel like we shouldn't end the 915 00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:31,239 Speaker 1: Christmas episode talking about trolls. I want to know one 916 00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:35,120 Speaker 1: last question about what do you want for Christmas this year? 917 00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:37,480 Speaker 1: Because anyone that's listening that knows you, here's a good 918 00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:39,279 Speaker 1: way just to drop it so you actually get what 919 00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:42,800 Speaker 1: you want.
