I feel 42 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 1: like when you told me, I was like, I, first 43 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 1: of all never heard like women's only adventures, and I 44 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: feel like the girls kind of get left out of adventures. 45 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 4: Do you agree, Yeah, I'm in Historically that's definitely been 46 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 4: the case, and I'm excited to see that there is 47 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 4: quite a lot of ground as well with other women's 48 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 4: adventure businesses. I just want an article about a Queensland 49 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 4: group this week. And back in Adelaide, when I started 50 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 4: the business, I discovered they actually were already to women's 51 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,639 Speaker 4: outdoor adventure businesses. So it's been really beautiful to say, hey, 52 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 4: I come in peace. I want to you know, collaborate, 53 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 4: not compete, and that has happened. We have worked together 54 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,639 Speaker 4: to put on bigger events. And I really think that 55 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 4: while there is still a lot of gender disparity in 56 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:14,360 Speaker 4: the outdoors and that men still are probably overrepresented in 57 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 4: terms of like being instructors, but also in their own personal. 58 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 2: Time doing outdoor adventures. 59 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 4: So it's really beautiful to see that that is shifting 60 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 4: and more girls are sort of getting involved at all levels, 61 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:31,079 Speaker 4: whether it's running the business, becoming qualified as an instructor 62 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 4: in an outdoor space, or as a participant as well. 63 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 1: That is so amazing, And yes, I agree, I feel 64 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: like me personally when I think of like my downtime 65 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 1: or having me time, I'm like, oh, I want to 66 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 1: get a massage, I want to read my book. But 67 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 1: I'm like, how much of that is just programmed. 68 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 3: In me because I'm a woman. 69 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: Because my husband, you know, he'll go golfing, he'll you know, 70 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: want to go surfing, He'll want to do those things. 71 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 1: And so I'm like almost like very much looking into 72 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: the conditioning. Whereas this come from when you were telling 73 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: me about your business, So how did it kind of 74 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 1: come to be? And also how did you almost get 75 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 1: the confidence and the like not the idea, but maybe 76 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: the idea also, but like the idea and the confidence 77 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: and like, I'm going to create something that's so unique 78 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 1: in a space that is predominantly you know, male focused. 79 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, I studied teaching and I was going to 80 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 4: be a pe teacher, and fortunately through my degree there 81 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 4: was like one subject that was outdoor education. So doing that, 82 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 4: I kind of really realized that that was where my 83 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,719 Speaker 4: talents slide and where my passion led in not just 84 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,479 Speaker 4: teaching kids sport and movement, just from the sport context 85 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 4: where it's competitive and it's usually you know inside, if 86 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 4: it's in a gym or something, and being more out 87 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 4: in nature where there was less competition. It's more just 88 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 4: about being present and enjoying, and so I really felt 89 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 4: like that was my drive to be more involved in 90 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,720 Speaker 4: helping people move outdoors. So after graduating, I didn't end 91 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 4: up becoming a teacher. Much like you decided, we all 92 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 4: do it. It's never a waste, as you know. You know, 93 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 4: you bring all of your law degree into this business. 94 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 4: The same with me and my education degree. So I 95 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 4: shifted into the outdoor tourism space, and through the different 96 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,919 Speaker 4: jobs that I had, whether it was snorkell guiding or 97 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 4: kayak instructing, I just noticed that the women tended to 98 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 4: take a back seat and that I had to prove 99 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 4: myself as a female staff member, even especially on boats. 100 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 2: It was still quite old. 101 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 4: School and the masculine and the old jokes are still 102 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 4: around of oh, go back to the galley and make 103 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 4: me a sandwich, and I just thought that we'd come 104 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:53,159 Speaker 4: past that. And so over these different experiences working with 105 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 4: other businesses, I just found well, I was thinking, what 106 00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,480 Speaker 4: would I want, you know, if this whole tour was 107 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,039 Speaker 4: set up for me, what would it look like and 108 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 4: how would I want to have this experience? And if 109 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 4: I'm wanting that, then I can't be the only one. 110 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 4: So I felt like if there was a place where 111 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 4: women could come and see a female role model as 112 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 4: their kayaking instructor, for example, or they could openly tell 113 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 4: the group like, oh, I've got my period, I'm a 114 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 4: bit crampy. Can someone else deer the kayak or whatever 115 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,279 Speaker 4: it may be, just have open conversation the life jackets 116 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,039 Speaker 4: a bit tighter in my boobs and not be self 117 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 4: conscious in front of men. Then that would really help 118 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 4: those women to flourish. And they can learn to reverse 119 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 4: the trailer, they can learn to tie the surfboards on 120 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 4: the car roof if they're shown and they're tour in 121 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 4: a calm and safe way. So I was like, well, 122 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 4: I could be that person. So COVID, you know, did 123 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,039 Speaker 4: a lot of harm, but a lot of good in 124 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,039 Speaker 4: the fact that it gave me the space and time 125 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,039 Speaker 4: when i'd lost my work to think, well, this is 126 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 4: my opportunity that I could create that space. And an 127 00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:01,160 Speaker 4: old mentor an employer called me, Matt Waller. He's very 128 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 4: dear to me, and he called me and said, how 129 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 4: are you going with COVID? And I explained that lost 130 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 4: my work and he said, well, just start your own. 131 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 4: And I thought, I can't start my own business. I 132 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 4: don't have a business degree. I literally thought it was 133 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 4: illegal to start your own business. 134 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 1: I don't have a business license. 135 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's what I thought. And who knew it's 136 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 2: not illegal. 137 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 4: You can get an ab in and maybe and it's 138 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 4: free and yeah, and it really blew my mind. It 139 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 4: was just he gave me that permission slip that I 140 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 4: needed to say, No, you could start it on your own, 141 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 4: just start small. And he was like, I would invest 142 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 4: in your business, but I don't need to just start small. 143 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 4: So I literally bought two stand up paddle boards and 144 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 4: got an ABN and then step by step got a 145 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 4: website and got insurance and then on and on it 146 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 4: went to gradually grow this women's outdoor adventure business that 147 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 4: it is today. 148 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 3: That's amazing. 149 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 1: And so I remember when we were at the Rise Retreat, 150 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: which was it was August last year, wasn't it. So 151 00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: we were sitting by the pool and you were kind 152 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: of talking to me and you were saying, you know, 153 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 1: I'm implementing a lot of the because you've done the 154 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: project and you've done the Abundance Academy, and you're saying, 155 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 1: I'm implementing like a lot of the steps and the 156 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 1: you know, attracting people in and I feel like I'm 157 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 1: not quite there yet. 158 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 3: And I remember at that. 159 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: Point in time you were like, you know, I've made 160 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: a start and like some people are coming, but I'm 161 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 1: not selling them out.

It's about how can 227 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 1: I cultivate that within myself? And I knew when I 228 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 1: met you, when we were talking and when you're like, oh, 229 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 1: you know, like I'm I'm trying to start I'm trying 230 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 1: to get more people, I was like, you have such 231 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 1: a magnetizing energy, Like I was instantly attracted to you 232 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 1: at the retreat and I could feel that, and I 233 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: was like, but you need to believe it, Like you 234 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 1: need to feel your own energy and be like yeah, 235 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 1: I am me and I know people are going to 236 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 1: meet me and be like wow, that was an incredible experience. 237 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 1: And it's hard because we often need evidence. We're like, well, 238 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 1: I need the retreat to sell out first, and then 239 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 1: I'll be in that energy. But it's not how it works. 240 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 1: You have to show up first, which why so many 241 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 1: people kind of you know, fall into the victim mentality, 242 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 1: they kind. 243 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 3: Of miss the mark there. 244 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,559 Speaker 1: So I even love that, even you being like, well 245 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 1: if I want people to come and enjoy paddle boarding 246 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 1: like I'm going to go out and enjoy it. I'm 247 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,440 Speaker 1: going to be the energy first, and that's what's going 248 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,679 Speaker 1: to you know, attract people to me. So you've just 249 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,559 Speaker 1: done exactly what you should. So that just makes complete sense. 250 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, And I think a lot of that mindset shift 251 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 4: came through the Abundance Academy as well, because I remember 252 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 4: in the follow up video that I sent into you guys, 253 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,440 Speaker 4: because I'd had such a shift in such a short 254 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 4: space of time. And even though I've listened to the 255 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,079 Speaker 4: podcast for five years now, there was still new content 256 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:12,680 Speaker 4: and new concepts that I hadn't really embodied before. And 257 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 4: so going through that process, it was teaching me or 258 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:21,200 Speaker 4: reminding me that even if my bank account is low, 259 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 4: even if I'm scared that bookings aren't coming in, if 260 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,160 Speaker 4: I yeah, shift into that mindset and imagine, well, how 261 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 4: would I act today if this trip and retreats we 262 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 4: do actually run retreats too, If this retreat was sold out? 263 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 4: How would I behave today? What is that CEO energy 264 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 4: that I need to embody today and act as if 265 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 4: that's how the business is already running? 266 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 2: Because if the account is already looking low. 267 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 4: Then it's easy to say, oh, it doesn't matter if 268 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:46,560 Speaker 4: I sleep in, or it doesn't matter if I don't 269 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 4: go on socials today. But when you step up and think, no, well, 270 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 4: what would I be doing today if this trip coming 271 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 4: up was sold out? And act in that way and 272 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 4: it always works. I don't know how I can forget 273 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 4: because it always works or and it's so funny that 274 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 4: I can still sometimes doubt, but it always works out. 275 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 4: And even when it doesn't work out, so sometimes we 276 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,959 Speaker 4: have had to cancel trips that haven't sold out, but 277 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 4: then there's always another reason, something bigger or better comes 278 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 4: in and I just keep being shown that time and 279 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 4: time again. And last year in November, after the Abundance Academy, 280 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 4: I came up to the Gold Coast for the Paddle 281 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 4: Australia Conference and I was invited to join the Paddle 282 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 4: Australia Advisory Panel. 283 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 2: And two weeks earlier during. 284 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 4: The Abundance Academy, when I got this invitation, my immediate 285 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 4: response was I can't go. I'm already booked in for 286 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 4: a school camp, so I was gonna say no to 287 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 4: that opportunity of meeting all these paddling Olympians, being an 288 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 4: advocate for my industry and having a trip to the 289 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 4: Gold Coast because of a couple of days of work 290 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 4: on a camp. I'm thinking, I can't let people down. 291 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 4: I can't miss this opportunity. I need the income. And 292 00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 4: through the Abundance Academy, it made me realize, oh no, 293 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 4: actually I say no to this. 294 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 2: This bigger opportunity will lead something better and greater. 295 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,200 Speaker 4: And so yeah, I made the decision from that abundant 296 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 4: mindset rather. 297 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 2: Than the scarcity mindset. 298 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, and of course the school was able to find 299 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 4: another instructor to replace me really easily. Parer Australia covered 300 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 4: my transport and accommodation and everything fell into place, and 301 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 4: I had this incredible trip and met some idols of 302 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 4: mine and I just yeah, it was that reminder of 303 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 4: when you lean in and just trust that everything's going 304 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 4: to work out, that life happens for you, and yeah, 305 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 4: it just keeps being affirmed to me. 306 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 1: That's amazing and I love too. Like again, also, I'm 307 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 1: the exact same like, I will get in these kind 308 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 1: of ruts and these like you know, whether it's victim 309 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 1: mentality or like, oh well, things aren't working out, etc. 310 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 1: And then you do notice like the more you focus 311 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 1: on that, the more you get of that, and so 312 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 1: it is often hard to like switch, but once you do, 313 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 1: and then you start gaining momentum, like that's when you 314 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 1: it's like a remembering. It's like, oh, yeah, I remember, 315 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 1: and I truly believe, like that's our life.

Like, what's the 333 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 1: conditioning that is creating my reality to. 334 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:04,720 Speaker 2: Look like this? 335 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:10,159 Speaker 1: And also knowing at any time it can shift so fast. Yeah, 336 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 1: And like I've even been like leaning into this term, 337 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,160 Speaker 1: which is take it as you will kind of thing. 338 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 3: But it's like, I know when I reaffirm and. 339 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 1: I lock back into my truth, reality bends to me. 340 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 1: And that's a weird concept to like, you know, think 341 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 1: about in a logical way, but I'm like, no reality 342 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 1: can shift in a moment. It can bend to me 343 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:37,199 Speaker 1: like that is it's just a reflection, and it just 344 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,879 Speaker 1: feel it feels so good to take control. And I 345 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:41,679 Speaker 1: think it's funny because a lot of people are like, 346 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 1: but it doesn't feel good because they may be in 347 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 1: that victim mentality of like life so hard or et cetera. 348 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 1: But it feels so good because you can take responsibility 349 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,680 Speaker 1: and you can be really like, all right, well, what 350 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 1: needs to shift. I've if I was a lease you 351 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 1: know at the end with the sold out retreats, you know, 352 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,920 Speaker 1: with going to these conference says with being someone who 353 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,679 Speaker 1: was an authority in the industry, like how would she 354 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 1: be and of course she's going to do exactly what 355 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 1: you did. 356 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 3: So that's so incredible. 357 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's an interesting point because that's something I 358 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,639 Speaker 4: have to teach my clients because I set up the 359 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 4: business to, as I said, inspire, lower barriers and create 360 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,919 Speaker 4: opportunities for these women who don't typically go and have 361 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 4: outdoor adventures in their downtime. Yeah, so it's already a 362 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 4: hard sell. So I'm already trying to pitch to women 363 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,439 Speaker 4: who it's not their default. They don't already go on 364 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,920 Speaker 4: an annual retreat, they don't already go for a bushwalk 365 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 4: on their weekends. It's the ones that are hesitant to 366 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,360 Speaker 4: do that or don't feel capable or confident to do that. 367 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 4: So I'm really having to be their mindset coach in 368 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,120 Speaker 4: just my marketing even to say that one, you're worthy 369 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 4: of spending money on this yep to You're going to 370 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:54,119 Speaker 4: feel the results tenfold because when you're out in nature 371 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,399 Speaker 4: and connecting back to yourself, connecting with other women and 372 00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:01,120 Speaker 4: connecting with nature and the environment, feel better and that 373 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,399 Speaker 4: automatically raises your energy. You're going to go back to 374 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 4: your families or your workplaces or your partners feeling better 375 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 4: and lighter. And on the weekend I ran a women's 376 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 4: kayaking expedition in the beautiful Crong National Park. It was 377 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:16,920 Speaker 4: just a one night trip on there and Jerry Country, 378 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,199 Speaker 4: And I had a woman in the morning come up 379 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 4: as I'm preparing breakfast, cooking some pancakes and berries in 380 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 4: the sand dunes, and she came up after she'd just 381 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 4: been for a walk and a swim. She just said, Alice, 382 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 4: I knew that I wanted this weekend, but I didn't 383 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,359 Speaker 4: know how much I needed it, And she just burst 384 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:33,919 Speaker 4: into tears and gave me a hug, and it was 385 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 4: just so yeah, reaffirming of we can't even quantify how 386 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,639 Speaker 4: much benefit comes to us from having that time in nature. 387 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:46,119 Speaker 4: And I think as women having that women's circle space 388 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 4: where they're sharing their struggles, they're sharing their apprehension about 389 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 4: the trip, their doubts, and their life experiences, all in 390 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 4: this container of being in beautiful, remote wilderness. And it 391 00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 4: doesn't have to take long, it doesn't have to be 392 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 4: it doesn't have to be expensive, but the benefits are 393 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 4: so huge and so yeah, I'm really having to encourage 394 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,119 Speaker 4: my audience to understand that message that you're giving that 395 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,640 Speaker 4: you just have to shift internally first, and then it's 396 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,880 Speaker 4: reflected in the outer world. And if these women can 397 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 4: say yes to having an outdoor adventure experience for themselves. 398 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 2: It's bushwalking, kayaking, powderboarding, surfing. 399 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 4: They will just feel the ripple effects in the rest 400 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,720 Speaker 4: of their life. 401 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,680 Speaker 1: We're just pausing this episode for a second to tell 402 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:35,639 Speaker 1: you about the Abundance Academy.

It's the 433 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 4: first time they've taken out time for themselves away from 434 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 4: the kids. Sometimes it's also women who are older and 435 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,680 Speaker 4: maybe they've just had a divorce or they've left work 436 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 4: and they've something got all this space and time they're thinking, well, 437 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 4: what actually do I love when I'm not with my kids? 438 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 4: What are my passions on my hobbies or my interests. 439 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,919 Speaker 4: Who am I exactly outside of yeah, who am I 440 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:53,439 Speaker 4: in relation to my husband? Or who am I in 441 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,440 Speaker 4: relation to my kids? Who are you in relation to yourself? 442 00:22:56,560 --> 00:23:00,680 Speaker 4: And typically, when they finally come and experience one of 443 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 4: these retreats or adventures, because some of them it's even 444 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:08,479 Speaker 4: a microadventure, a two hour powder boarding lesson can still 445 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:10,919 Speaker 4: show a huge amount of growth in a woman because 446 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 4: she's put down her guard, She's felt safe and seen 447 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 4: and supported. She's got out of her comfort zone, and 448 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,680 Speaker 4: I've given her some helpful, encouraging, kind tips to get 449 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 4: her standing up. And then she leaves feeling empowered, She 450 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 4: feels capable, she feels confident, She feels that she can 451 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,239 Speaker 4: trust strangers because at the start of the session as 452 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 4: a stranger, and also, I hope believes in the capabilities 453 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,680 Speaker 4: of women too, because she wasn't relying on her husband 454 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 4: to create the experience. She sees a female instructor as 455 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,360 Speaker 4: a safe space and knows that even if she falls off, 456 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 4: if I can help rescue her back on the board, 457 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 4: she feels safe and supported by another woman. And on 458 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 4: the weekend, we did have a capsized kayak and being 459 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 4: able to successfully rescue them and get them both back 460 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,680 Speaker 4: in their boat. They were so surprised, and I was like, 461 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 4: course I can rescue. I'm a kayaking instructor. But that also, 462 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:08,919 Speaker 4: I hope helps change the perceptions and in society at 463 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 4: large of what women are capable of and what we 464 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,680 Speaker 4: can do. And that's not to diminish everything that men 465 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:17,120 Speaker 4: bring to society and everything that men do for us 466 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,439 Speaker 4: as women as well. And I wouldn't be in business 467 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,199 Speaker 4: without the support and mentorship from some amazing man in 468 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 4: my life. But to show women that they can do 469 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:26,680 Speaker 4: it is just so powerful. 470 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 1: That's incredible, and I think that is that's quite game changing, 471 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 1: especially for when a woman when she has her own back, 472 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 1: you know, Like I feel like me and Tim went 473 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 1: through a very you know, it's coming up thirteen years 474 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:46,199 Speaker 1: together and literally next week, and we went through an 475 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 1: interesting time even last year, and it was really about 476 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,400 Speaker 1: again I had to go through this process of like, well, 477 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:58,920 Speaker 1: who am I without Tim? Not that we were separated 478 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 1: or anything, but like who am I without him? Who 479 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 1: am I not being a mom? Who am I not 480 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:04,639 Speaker 1: in business? And I really had to kind of like 481 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 1: build that self concept and have this really beautiful relationship 482 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 1: with myself where he compliments me and he empowers me, 483 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,240 Speaker 1: and you know, being a mum empowers me. 484 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:19,360 Speaker 3: But it's like that's not the end all be all, 485 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:20,480 Speaker 3: it's just it's. 486 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,159 Speaker 1: Me first and having my own back, and so I 487 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 1: think that's like that's really important. 488 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 4: Definitely, and then it just makes the relationship so much 489 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:34,360 Speaker 4: stronger when you have that mutual respect and mutual adoration, 490 00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:39,760 Speaker 4: and there's the cohabitating and the convenience of being able 491 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:41,640 Speaker 4: to assist one another and support one another, but it's 492 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,160 Speaker 4: not codependent to the point that you can't live without them. 493 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,159 Speaker 4: You've got your own life and your own passions and 494 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 4: your own hobbies and skills, and then when you come together, 495 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 4: it just elevates both of you and you can support 496 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 4: and make everything easier. And yeah, I feel that that's 497 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 4: been the same in my relationship because we're planning to 498 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 4: move on too. My partner's sailboat. It's a huge adventure. 499 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 4: It's way out of my comfort zone. So I'm going 500 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 4: to have to practice what I preach to my clients 501 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 4: in you know, getting out of your comfort zone and 502 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 4: trying new outdoor experiences and backing yourself, and I really 503 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,239 Speaker 4: believe that all of my other experiences outdoors are going 504 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,160 Speaker 4: to assist that. But just knowing that I'm not going 505 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,680 Speaker 4: to be solely dependent on Roy to sail the boat, 506 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:22,760 Speaker 4: I'm going to learn so that I can feel confident 507 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 4: that should anything happen, I've got that. And then having 508 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,239 Speaker 4: that mutual trust and the way that we can then 509 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,120 Speaker 4: lean on each other makes her so much stronger together too. 510 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 1: I love that, And you know what, I have such 511 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 1: a good role model for that. My mum is like, 512 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:40,399 Speaker 1: you know, she was apprehensive too, because my dad wanted 513 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:41,840 Speaker 1: to buy a boat live in the boat. 514 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 3: They retired when they were fifty, and. 515 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:46,440 Speaker 1: She was like, I don't want to live in a boat, 516 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 1: Like I don't want to do this. 517 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:49,360 Speaker 3: And then they did it. 518 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 1: And I have seen her like she's so adventurous. She 519 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 1: knows how to sail the boat. She'll be up you 520 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,680 Speaker 1: know the mask, like pulling all the ropes. I don't 521 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,920 Speaker 1: know what they do, but she knows everything. She knows 522 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,639 Speaker 1: how to do it. She's so capable. She's always the 523 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 1: one to jump in first and go snorkeling. They have 524 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 1: like this fun little machine that's like. 525 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:11,119 Speaker 3: A motor in the water. 526 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 1: Yeah that like they can be underwater motorized like a 527 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:21,119 Speaker 1: handheld thing, they go snorkeling, and she has just absolutely 528 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,399 Speaker 1: like she's always kind of been like that growing up, 529 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 1: always been so capable. But I've loved to see her 530 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 1: thriving on the boat and yeah she does it, like 531 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:31,960 Speaker 1: she gets in and she does it, and yeah, she's 532 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,480 Speaker 1: such a great role model for me for that, because 533 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,359 Speaker 1: it's so true, like we shouldn't just be sun tanning 534 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 1: on the side. We can get in, we can have 535 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,159 Speaker 1: fun and you know, of course we can do both. 536 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 1: But I think that's such an incredible message. 537 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,359 Speaker 4: Yeah, the sunsetting on the side reminds me of when 538 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 4: I was growing up. We had family in Crescent Head 539 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 4: and we'd travel to the East Coast from South Australia 540 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:57,120 Speaker 4: to visit my family. And I can distinctly remember being 541 00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,920 Speaker 4: fourteen years old and looking out into the surf brain 542 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,440 Speaker 4: and only seeing men, and. 543 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:04,400 Speaker 2: I was already a bit nervous. 544 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:09,200 Speaker 4: I was self conscious of my body, being an adolescent girl, 545 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,360 Speaker 4: and I thought, well, I can't actually see any girls 546 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 4: out there. Maybe it's a heavy break, maybe girls don't 547 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 4: surf here, Like I'm not meant to be here anyway, 548 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,040 Speaker 4: and so I was able to talk myself out of 549 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:21,359 Speaker 4: getting in. And then on the flip side of that, 550 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 4: just two weeks ago running a women's surf camp and 551 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:28,160 Speaker 4: just looking out and seeing an all female lineup, And 552 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:29,879 Speaker 4: when I ran a surf camp last year, that was 553 00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 4: the first time I'd seen a whole surf break where 554 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:34,200 Speaker 4: it's just women, and I was like, this is really 555 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:38,880 Speaker 4: powerful and I've helped create that. So yeah, I think 556 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 4: that and then the more that young girls are then 557 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 4: seeing other women out in the surf like I saw 558 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 4: this morning, that helps them see that their life can 559 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:51,760 Speaker 4: be so much more than traditional gender roles, and their 560 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 4: life can be so much more than And of course 561 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 4: they can still ten on the beach and they can 562 00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,480 Speaker 4: still want to have massages in their downtime. 563 00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,160 Speaker 2: But absolutely to not feel boxed into a. 564 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 4: Like there are other opportunities. And I really believe that, 565 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,760 Speaker 4: you know, we're animals. We've evolved and we now spend 566 00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 4: a lot of our time in buildings in artificial light, 567 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 4: but we're meant to be in nature, and so just 568 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 4: it's that it's not really teaching, it's just that reminding 569 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 4: people that that's still within them. That of course, they 570 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:21,880 Speaker 4: feel better when they're outdoors in fresh air, in sunlight, 571 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 4: jumping into the ocean, because that's we're designed to be outdoors. 572 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 4: And so it's just that remembering that often comes through 573 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 4: with clients as well. And so that's so beautiful that 574 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,240 Speaker 4: your mum is remembering and she's found all that in 575 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 4: her retirement. 576 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 2: That's amazing. 577 00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,640 Speaker 1: I know, it is amazing, and I love where things 578 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 1: are going with that because that's like, you know, with 579 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 1: my daughter Ivy, that's something I'm really going to encourage her, like, yeah, 580 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 1: play sport, like go and do the adventuress stuff. And 581 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:50,640 Speaker 1: she I can really see it, like she wants to 582 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 1: do everything that I'd wants to do and what I 583 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,360 Speaker 1: want to do, Like she's so adventurous. 584 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,280 Speaker 3: But at the same time she wants to come put 585 00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,040 Speaker 3: make up on with Mum when she's getting ready. 586 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 1: So I think, like we can be whoever we want 587 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:04,320 Speaker 1: to be and really instilling that in everyone and being like, well, 588 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:05,640 Speaker 1: go figure out who you. 589 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 2: Want to be. 590 00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:10,120 Speaker 1: Let's finish off the potty with some rapid fire questions. 591 00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 3: What is your go to mantra? 592 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:14,840 Speaker 4: Well, of course at the top of my mind is 593 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 4: life happens for me, and that couldn't have mine anytime. 594 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,560 Speaker 4: I have to keep reminding myself of that and no 595 00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:23,080 Speaker 4: one is you, and that is your power. And it 596 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:25,840 Speaker 4: sounds so cliche, but it really does help me remember 597 00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:29,640 Speaker 4: that the outdoor adventure space might look a certain way typically, 598 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,480 Speaker 4: but my space can be different. So no one else 599 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 4: in my space might be running kayaking tools that look 600 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 4: like mine, where you can do yoga and meditation at 601 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:42,800 Speaker 4: the experience and have berries on your pancake because it's 602 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:44,680 Speaker 4: a bit different to maybe what you typically think of 603 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 4: and see. But remembering that that's my strength and not 604 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,120 Speaker 4: thinking that you might put people off. If my career 605 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 4: experiences around what I enjoy, that's going to attract the 606 00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 4: right people, know what you mean? 607 00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:55,560 Speaker 2: That's my power. 608 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:59,640 Speaker 3: I love that so much.
