10
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: hundred thousand. I grew up believing I had to pursue

11
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,919
Speaker 1: the safe option and fit into a mold others had

12
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: created for me. But then I entered my corporate law

13
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: job and I realized that settling for a reality that

14
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: didn't set my soul on fire was something I was

15
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,760

24
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:43,479
Speaker 1: and Conquer podcast PS. Happy Easter, So today I'm joined

25
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: by entrepreneur and hormone health advocate Bridget worn. In our conversation,

26
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: Bridget opens up about her polycystic ovarian syndrome journey and

27
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: how she overcame infertility issues and gave birth to her

28
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: first beautiful boy, Flynn. PCs affects one in ten women

29
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: and comes with a whole variety of unpleasant symptoms. It

30
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: can cause immense pain, acne, weight gain, anxiety, he looss,

31
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: and much more. After learning about how common the condition

32
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: is and the silent struggle of many women, we thought

33
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: we should spread some awareness about it. Bridget has a

34
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: background in public health and commerce and is known as

35
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: pos to Wellness on Instagram, where she shares her tips

36
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 1: and tricks on how she balances PS. She is also

37
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: the founder of Sisterhood and Mumbahood Teas and is the

38
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: founder of silver Fox Management, a modeling agency for over thirties.

39
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: We also get into all things juggling, being a mum

40
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: and being a boss lady. Bridget was so delightful to

41
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: chat to. I cannot wait to share this episode. But

42
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: before we jump onto it, I just want to do

43
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: a quick disclaimer and point out that this episode should

44
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: not be used as medical advice or medical treatment. The

45
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: content discussed is specific to Bridget and her symptoms and

46
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: her personal experience. It is an episode for spreading awareness

47
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: about a common woman's health condition and it should not

48
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: be used to self diagnose. So I just want to

49
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 1: make that super clear. Let's get into the episode.

50
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 3: Welcome to the show for dad, Thank you for having me.

51
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: Of course, thank you for having us in your apartment,

52
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: made this cute little platter and yeah it's all very homely.

53
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 4: Oh thank you, No, it's really cool to have you here. Actually,

54
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,239
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, we can hang out and chat.

55
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 4: Then you're like, let's do the podcast.

56
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 3: All that after.

57
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 2: I trust me, So let's get straight into it.

58
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: Something that I ask all my guests is what season

59
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: are they currently in? And so I talk a lot

60
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: about seasons. And this is just because I've realized that

61
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: we all go through different stages where we have different

62
00:03:55,800 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: priorities in our life and sometimes they're hard, sometimes they're easy.

63
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: And what I found is honoring this season I'm in

64
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: really helps me through it. So what sort of season

65
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: are you in?

66
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 4: And I knew you were gonna ask me this question.

67
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 4: I was like, Oh, my gosh, I don't even know

68
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 4: where to begin with this. But then I kind of

69
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 4: thought about it. Yeah, I was like, well, that's the thing, right,

70
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 4: Like I've just been in this season for like Flynn

71
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 4: is eleven months now, my baby, and I've just been

72
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 4: in this season that's just been all about being a

73
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 4: mom and it's been awesome, but it was all it's

74
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 4: all about Flynn. It's all about learning how to be

75
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 4: a mom and all this new stuff that I.

76
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 3: Haven't learned before.

77
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 4: And so I'm going into this next season, which I

78
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 4: feel like I'm just entering now, which is finding a

79
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 4: bit of that the bit of that old bit in

80
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 4: me that I sort of had to put to the

81
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 4: side whilst I sort of became this mom and learned

82
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 4: this new path, and I'm going to bring a little

83
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 4: bit of it back. So that's what this season I'm

84
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 4: I'm going to really try to work on that. Like

85
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 4: just I guess finding my old self a little bit

86
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 4: and bringing that back.

87
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 2: I love that. No, that's really lovely.

88
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: And so tell us a little snapshot of who Bridget is.

89
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 4: Well, I'm obviously a new mom, I'm a wife. I'm

90
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 4: a dog mom to two very noisy dogs that you

91
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 4: can probably hear in they're like little piglets.

92
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 3: And I'm a business woman.

93
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 4: I have a couple of businesses, and I'm also a

94
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 4: woman's health advocate, particularly for PCOS awareness.

95
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 2: Amazing, and so let's get into POS. So I really

96
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 2: wanted you on.

97
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: The podcast to spread awareness about PCOS. I actually went

98
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: through a bit of time where the doctors thought I

99
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,799
Speaker 1: may have it, and then I never actually got diagnosed

100
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 1: or anything because we were dealing with other issues and

101
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 1: I kind of just never got us skinned that they

102
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: thought and all that sort of stuff. But it was

103
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 1: something that I thought I had and I was kind

104
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 1: of a bit scared because no one really talks about

105
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 1: it that much. But I do know a lot of

106
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: girls who have it. So, firstly, can you explain what

107
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: PC is for listens who may not know?

108
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure.

109
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 4: So p COS, I guess, on the surface level, is

110
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 4: a hormonal condition. It's also a metabolic condition. And it's

111
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 4: possibly also an autoimmune condition. So it's quite a lot

112
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 4: of things under this one label of PCOS, and PCOS

113
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 4: stands for polycystic ovaryan syndrome if you're wondering what that

114
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 4: PCOS actually stands for. Now, it's thought that up to

115
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 4: one in ten women Australia and worldwide suffer from it. However,

116
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 4: more research is coming out that it's probably a lot

117
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 4: more like one in five one in six women around

118
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 4: Australia and worldwide suffer from it. So it's quite an

119
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 4: undiagnosed condition. And the reason being is that's it's quite

120
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 4: a confusing condition in that the name is polcistic ovarian syndrome.

121
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 3: However, you actually don't have to.

122
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 4: Have cysts on your ovaries to have policystic ovarying syndrome.

123
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 3: So that's where it gets a little bit tricky.

124
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 4: And I also think a lot of doctors still are

125
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 4: not fully across all the new data and research that

126
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:03,039
Speaker 4: is coming out.

127
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 2: I remember when I was kind of researching it.

128
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: Isn't there a certain sort of criteria that you if

129
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: you have like two out of the four or something

130
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: like that.

131
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, So there's a criteria called the Rotterdam criteria,

132
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 4: which is sort of our worldwide readily used criteria for

133
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 4: diagnosed PCs. However, it's still not commonly used across I

134
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 4: mean Australia. You rarely hear about it, even though a

135
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 4: few of the health professionals that created it were from Australia.

136
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 4: But I think that what the main things are and

137
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 4: what the main sort of criteria that looks at is.

138
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 4: The first one is delayed or irregular menstrual cycles, so

139
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 4: that's obviously not getting your period or having very irregular periods.

140
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 4: The second one is hyper androgenism, which is having two

141
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 4: higher levels of androgen.

142
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 3: Particularly testosterone. A lot of pcos will have very high.

143
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 4: Testosterone levels and that can be shown either through a

144
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 4: blood test, but it can also be shown physically and

145
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 4: that can be things like acne, it can be things

146
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 4: like hair laws herseutism, which is when you have facial

147
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 4: hair growing. That's when the high androgens come into play.

148
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 4: And the third criteria is actually having the cysts on

149
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 4: the ovaries, which is discovered through ultrasound. So you only

150
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 4: have to have three of those criteria, which means you

151
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 4: could have the first two and not have any cysts

152
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 4: or not even have an ultrasound done and still be

153
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 4: diagnosed with PCOS.

154
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: So it's there three or four criteria. There's three criteria

155
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: and you only have to have two.

156
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 3: You only have to have two.

157
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,559
Speaker 4: But the hyperandrogenism can either be diagnosed. It can either

158
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 4: be sort of ticked off with physical symptoms or a

159
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 4: blood test.

160
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember, so I had I lost my monthly

161
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 1: for sixteen months and then it was very irregular.

162
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,079
Speaker 2: Ye, it would sometimes get up to forty six days.

163
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: And then also I did a blood test and saliber

164
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,439
Speaker 1: test and I had high testosterone.

165
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,079
Speaker 2: So that's why they thought it. So that makes a

166
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 2: lot of sense.

167
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 4: Yes, well that would be enough if you were going

168
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 4: by these yes to be Dino to PCOS exactly, which

169
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 4: is quite interesting. I think a lot of people don't

170
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 4: realize that, and a lot of doctors still use purely

171
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 4: the ultrasound method. So if you don't have the CIS,

172
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 4: they go, okay, you don't have polcistic ovarian syndrome. Yeah,

173
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 4: And on the other side of things, they'll just do

174
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 4: this ultrasound and see that you have CIS and diagnosed

175
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 4: you with it.

176
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 3: However, in young.

177
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 4: Women, up to seventy percent of women will have cysts

178
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 4: on the ovaries, so it's not an accurate method just

179
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 4: using the ultrasound alone.

180
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I love that.

181
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,719
Speaker 1: You've got to kind of put it all together, and

182
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: so can you go through some of the symptoms that

183
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: you experience and that.

184
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 2: Are associated with PS.

185
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 4: I know we talked about some, but yeah, of course,

186
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 4: So for me personally, I guess the biggest indicator for

187
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 4: me straightway was the acne. I had acne on my face,

188
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 4: but also on my neck, on my chest, on my.

189
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 3: Back like that. It was quite bad.

190
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,559
Speaker 4: Hair Loss is particularly male ball pattern hair loss, which

191
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 4: is you know, at the front and then also at

192
00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 4: the crown that's generally associated with pcos you're also you

193
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,199
Speaker 4: might have the facial hair or hair all of your

194
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 4: body in weird places that you normally wouldn't. Weight gain

195
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 4: for a lot of women, they'll suffer from weight gain.

196
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,439
Speaker 4: You might also have things like dermatitis or dandriff which

197
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 4: is again something that I suffered from, and even things

198
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 4: like skin tags. And then you've got your mental health

199
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 4: things like anxiety and depression, and anxiety was something that

200
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 4: I really struggled with as well. And then infertility, which

201
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 4: is a big one and again a hidden symptom like

202
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 4: the mental stuff as well.

203
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 2: And so did you experience all those symptoms?

204
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 4: So I experienced yeah, pretty much. I didn't really get

205
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 4: the facial hair that that was something I never had

206
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 4: much of. I also didn't get a lot of weight gain. However,

207
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 4: I did notice that I was starting to get a

208
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 4: bit of belly fat. I've always been quite lean, but

209
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 4: I noticed I was sort of getting this bally fat

210
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 4: happening that I wouldn't normally have had. So that was,

211
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 4: I guess, for me an indicator. But again that was

212
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 4: another reason that I sort of stumped my in that

213
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 4: because I was, I guess, leaner than what they would

214
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 4: normally classify some with PCOS.

215
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: Were you quite confused in regards to diagnosing it or

216
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: have that sort of experience like is that what made

217
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 1: you create your PCOS to wellness page or was it

218
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: something else?

219
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 4: So walking out of that doctor's office, I mean it

220
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 4: took me six doctors to finally be diagnosed PCs. I

221
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 4: went to so many doctors. They sort of didn't know

222
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 4: what was wrong with me. They said, I either need

223
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 4: to go back on the pill, or you know, here's

224
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 4: some antibiotics for the skin. There was no real like,

225
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 4: this is what your problem is and this will help you.

226
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 4: So I eventually went to a doctor who was meant

227
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 4: to be sort of a women's health doctor, and I

228
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 4: sat in there and I just cried and cried and cried,

229
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 4: and I said, hey, can you actually run some tests

230
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 4: because something's going on and I'm not sure what it is.

231
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 4: And so she eventually agreed to run the blood test,

232
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 4: and lo and behold, I got my results back and

233
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 4: my test was and was literally off the scale, Like

234
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 4: there's a scale that it goes by, and mine was

235
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 4: off the scale.

236
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 3: That's how high my test was. Wou Yeah. And so

237
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 3: within that and.

238
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 4: Obviously with the physical symptoms and not having a period,

239
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 4: I literally had one period over like well, I was

240
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 4: on the pill for ten years.

241
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 3: I had no period during that time.

242
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 4: But before that I'd only had I think three periods

243
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 4: my whole life. So I had the diagnosis of PCOS

244
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 4: and I kind of left that doctor's office feeling so deflated.

245
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 4: I felt like my body had failed me. I just

246
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 4: felt like, you know, the one thing you're meant to

247
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 4: be able to do as a woman who is have kids,

248
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 4: and I'm just being told point blank that I'm not

249
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 4: going to be able to have kids naturally and to

250
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,679
Speaker 4: come back when I wanted to start fertility treatments, and

251
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 4: so I just was like, what the hell am I

252
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 4: going to do? And the Instagram account gram account essentially

253
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 4: just came from me needing to vent and so I

254
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 4: started this Instagram account. It was completely anonymous because I

255
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 4: was actually modeling at the time, and I didn't want

256
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,719
Speaker 4: my clients or my agency to sort of see know

257
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 4: that it was me, or.

258
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 3: Yes, see it and see that I had all these physical.

259
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 4: M dims and blah blah blah, and so I hit

260
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 4: it and I didn't have my name on it. I

261
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 4: just called it p cos to Wellness, and I just

262
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 4: started posting about my journey, and I started posting my

263
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 4: skin and the things I was trying and the different

264
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 4: treatments I was doing. And I just started to get

265
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 4: this following because I guess people started to relate to it.

266
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, because they're experiencing the same.

267
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 4: Thing totally and so and I just had no I

268
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 4: didn't know how common it was. No one spoke about it.

269
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 4: I'd never heard of it before until I was diagnosed

270
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 4: with it. And then it just really grew organically, and

271
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,679
Speaker 4: I just I couldn't believe it. I was like, well,

272
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 4: this account grew from zero followers to you know, thousands

273
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,959
Speaker 4: and thousands of women all around the world kind of

274
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 4: supporting me and following me and watching what I was

275
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 4: doing because I'd taken a different route to what the

276
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 4: doctors had suggested I do.

277
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: So let's talk about the sort of, like you said,

278
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: they different route. Can you tell us about what you

279
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,319
Speaker 1: started to do differently in your lifestyle when you did

280
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: find out you had this.

281
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 2: Do people call it peacos?

282
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 3: Yes? I figure, well I always call it pekos?

283
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,959
Speaker 2: Yes, sorry, sure, we start calling at peakos because.

284
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 3: I'm like PCs.

285
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 4: No, I know, We'll call it piles, okays is fun?

286
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 3: So what was so? It was?

287
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: I was just going to say, what when you found

288
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 1: this out? What were the sort of how did you

289
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: change your lifestyle? What did you kind of do differently

290
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: now knowing what the problem was?

291
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I guess the first thing I did, and

292
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 4: this is I guess we're a little bit of my

293
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 4: You know, I had a public health and health promotion background.

294
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 3: I was already super interested in health.

295
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 4: It was a passion of mine, my mom's a nutritionists

296
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 4: made as farm. So I kind of was like, Okay,

297
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 4: I've got so much knowledge and so many so much

298
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 4: access to knowledge, that I'm just going to take a moment.

299
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 4: I'm going to sit on this diagnosis and I'm going

300
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 4: to research and I'm going to learn. I'm just going

301
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 4: to do as much as I possibly can before I

302
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 4: walk back into that doctor's office and get the script

303
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 4: to go you start utility treatments or whatever. So I researched,

304
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 4: and I researched research, and I literally became obsessed. I

305
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 4: would be sitting on my phone at like one am

306
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 4: in the morning, like looking up natural treatments for pcos

307
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 4: or you know, naturopathic herbs that you can use, or

308
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 4: Chinese medicine herbs, all that kind of thing. And within

309
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 4: a couple of weeks, I genuinely felt like I knew

310
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 4: more about peakos than any doctor or anyone I'd spoken

311
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 4: to previously. It was quite there was so much information

312
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 4: out there just wasn't being delivered to me or it

313
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 4: wasn't accessible. And so from that that's what sort of

314
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 4: started my journey down the natural holistic path. I changed

315
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 4: my diet was sort of the first thing. First and

316
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 4: foremost thing I did. I was already eating a vegetarian diet,

317
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 4: but I actually decided to go plant based and just

318
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 4: see what happens because there was so much research out

319
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 4: there about how you know, plant based I was low inflammatory,

320
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 4: and how PCOS was highly triggered by the inflammation, so

321
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 4: I really wanted to try and reduce my inflammation as

322
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 4: much as possible. Obviously, things like dairy are very well

323
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 4: known for being inflammatory, so that was, you know, another

324
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 4: thing I really wanted to cut out, and it just

325
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 4: resonated with me as well. I'd thought about going plant

326
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 4: based for quite a while and sort of this was

327
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 4: the spur.

328
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 3: I needed, I guess, to get me going. So I

329
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 3: did that.

330
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 4: But what happened with you know, originally being vegetarian as

331
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 4: well as, like always, I ate a very high carb

332
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 4: diet and that just sort of comes hand in hand

333
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 4: a lot of time with being vegetarian, I think. So

334
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 4: I had to learn this new way of sort of eating,

335
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 4: which was not cutting out carb but changing to different

336
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 4: sort of carbohydrates, so really whole grain complex carbohydrates, avoiding

337
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 4: gluten because I found gluten.

338
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 3: To be incredibly influmlatory for me.

339
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 4: Within you know, a couple of minutes of eating something

340
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 4: with gluten, I was getting cramping and bloated belly, and

341
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 4: then within a few days I'd see the acne flare

342
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 4: up again. So decided to really avoid gluten as much

343
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 4: as possible, cut out caffeine, cut out alcohol, cut out

344
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 4: processed foods. I went quite I wouldn't say extreme, but

345
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 4: I just went I just was like, if I'm going

346
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 4: to do it, I might as well do it properly

347
00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 4: and do it for a couple of months and just

348
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 4: let my body reset and just really rebalance, renourish, and

349
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,880
Speaker 4: try and get back to homeostasis as much as possible,

350
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 4: and then if I want to where I can start

351
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 4: to reintroduce, yeah, those things back in. So that was

352
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 4: the diet sort of side of things, and then I

353
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 4: really started to go down this naturopathic route. I was

354
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 4: learning about herbs, so then I became obsessed with herbs.

355
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 4: Obviously worked with a naturopath with that, and just sort

356
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 4: of found out the right herbs that were working for me.

357
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 4: Found some great supplements that I did because a lot

358
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 4: of with PCOS deficient in a lot of nutrients and

359
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,399
Speaker 4: vitamins and things like that. So I really had to

360
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 4: work on that, making sure my nutrient level was adequate,

361
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:43,959
Speaker 4: whether through food or supplementation. And then lifestyle, which was

362
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 4: basically learning how to manage my stress and reducing my

363
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,679
Speaker 4: stress because I didn't realize how much impact that was

364
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 4: having on my overall health, particularly my hormone health.

365
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:55,919
Speaker 2: And so what sort of things did you do for

366
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 2: that in regards to stress.

367
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:01,360
Speaker 4: Well, it was really hard because if someone says, y, hey,

368
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 4: you need to lower your stress, like cool, Like how

369
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 4: do I do that?

370
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 3: So I had to end.

371
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 4: At the time, I still am, I was running my

372
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 4: business and so and that was a modeling agency, so

373
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 4: it was super high paced.

374
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 3: It was very stressful.

375
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,640
Speaker 4: It's my own business, so that adds a whole nother

376
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 4: level of stress on top of it as well. So

377
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 4: I just basically had to decide to make the decision

378
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 4: to hire more stuff. I was a terrible manager because

379
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 4: I wanted to do it all. I wanted to do

380
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:31,919
Speaker 4: it all. I didn't manage. I just did it, and

381
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:33,199
Speaker 4: I was like, hey, I'll do it. It's easier if

382
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 4: I just do it. So I had to really learn

383
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 4: how to delegate and give sort of some outsource and

384
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 4: give some of that hard work away. And then I

385
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 4: started to do things like, all right, if I'm going

386
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 4: for a walk, because I would walk the dogs every morning,

387
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 4: and every afternoon, I would take my phone, switch my

388
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,679
Speaker 4: phone off. So because what I was finding is I

389
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,439
Speaker 4: was just contactable twenty four to seven. So I'd have

390
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 4: my phone on, I'd be in bed with my phone on,

391
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 4: I'd be walking with my phone on.

392
00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 3: I'd be in the car and have my phone on.

393
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 4: Like I'd just be doing all these things and I

394
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:02,360
Speaker 4: just was never switching off.

395
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:03,439
Speaker 3: So that was a big one.

396
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,239
Speaker 4: Just even allowing you know, myself an hour to not

397
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 4: have my phone on and not be reading emails was

398
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 4: a really big one.

399
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,439
Speaker 3: And then making a bit more time for me.

400
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 4: We decided to schedule in more little trips away, do holidays.

401
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,639
Speaker 4: My husband, Jesse, he's like super supportive, so he'd like

402
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 4: book in massage. As for me, just little simple things

403
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:24,880
Speaker 4: like that, not all the time, but enough to sort

404
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 4: of take a break, Yeah, and to sort of switch

405
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:28,160
Speaker 4: off for an hour or so.

406
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,880
Speaker 1: So you definitely you started to take your health way

407
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: more seriously. You're like, this needs to I need to

408
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: make change. I need to be very serious with this.

409
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:36,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, one hundred percent.

410
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:37,439
Speaker 4: I was just like, if I'm going to do it,

411
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 4: I have to do this properly, and I have to

412
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,640
Speaker 4: give myself a bit of time to see results. It's

413
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,679
Speaker 4: not going to happen overnight. Like if I'm I know

414
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 4: that I could go and take go back on the

415
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 4: pill and my symptoms will clear up. I know that

416
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 4: I would take somethetic hormones and you know I will

417
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 4: be you know, potentially could kick out opulation. But that's

418
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 4: not what I wanted. I wanted to help my body.

419
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 4: I wanted to address the root causes.

420
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 2: One hundred percent. And I was the exact same. That's

421
00:19:59,320 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 2: what I remember.

422
00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 1: The doctors were like wanted me to go back on

423
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 1: the pill, and they it was kind of hard because

424
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 1: I saw a nature path and she was amazing and

425
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: she helped me. And I also saw an acupunctress, yo

426
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 1: really helped.

427
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,360
Speaker 2: That's amazing, and so all that really helped. And it's

428
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,959
Speaker 2: funny because I was I was kind of tempted. At

429
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:18,359
Speaker 2: one point.

430
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 1: I was like, let's just go to the doctors get

431
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,479
Speaker 1: some medication because I had really bad adult acne. I was,

432
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 1: you know, on social media all the time.

433
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I was very conscious.

434
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 1: I was like I was self conscious and I was like, look,

435
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 1: this is me. So it wasn't too bad, but it

436
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 1: was also just kind of it's just a bit draining

437
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: when you're like, this is not me, if that makes sense,

438
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 1: and then even like your energy, like I just felt

439
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: drained all the time. I had really bad acne and

440
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: then my yeah, like my monthly problems and it was

441
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 1: kind of a crap time. But like you, I went

442
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: and saw my nature path, like I said, acupuntress, and

443
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: it took it took a lot of time. It was

444
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,679
Speaker 1: so worth it again to get to the root cause.

445
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 1: And I think I forget out my root cause was

446
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: definitely the stress side of things. I noticed that's a

447
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,120
Speaker 1: big thing for me because I actually got like food

448
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: testing done. That's because I thought food testing was a

449
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: big thing for my acne. And I got rid of

450
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,919
Speaker 1: like most foods were in the red category and I

451
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, I can't eat anything. It

452
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,159
Speaker 1: was like all of these eating like banana eggs, like

453
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: everything I loved, and so I cut them all out

454
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 1: and I saw the introduced them. But I think I

455
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: realized it was like a stress response, like my stomach

456
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 1: just wasn't dealing with anything, yes, because I was doing

457
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: like my end of my law degree.

458
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 3: And all that sort of stuff.

459
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 1: But did you find that you did anything else in

460
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 1: regards to seeking professional help?

461
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I saw I obviously worked with a

462
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:54,400
Speaker 4: nature path quite mostly. I went saw a Chinese medicine

463
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 4: doctor as well, and that's where I did the acupuncture,

464
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 4: and they sort of gave me different herbs again, so

465
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 4: it was different herbal treatments. I just really I looked

466
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 4: at evidence and science based journals as well, and I

467
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 4: guess studies.

468
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 3: That have been done. So yeah, I really I'm one

469
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 3: of those.

470
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 4: And maybe this is sort of the help motion background

471
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 4: coming out of me, but I really wanted to find

472
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 4: things that had worked and there was reason why and

473
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:24,160
Speaker 4: I wanted to understand it.

474
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,640
Speaker 3: So another thing for me was.

475
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 4: I had to really look at like stress in all

476
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,199
Speaker 4: aspects of my life, not just stress from work, but

477
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 4: you know, was I trying to cram in a really

478
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 4: high intensity workout so that I could get that done?

479
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 3: I had to stop hit Yeah, like and not that

480
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 3: I really was. I didn't. Ever, it was only when

481
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 3: I became stressed that I was like, oh I been

482
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 3: I haven't done yoga this week. I'm just going to

483
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 3: go and do now, like smash it out.

484
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, And that wasn't even my personality to begin with.

485
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 4: So I had to go back to the basics and

486
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 4: be like, I'm going to try and do I'm going

487
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,119
Speaker 4: to walk more, I'm going to do yoga, I'm going

488
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:02,199
Speaker 4: to swim slow down. And that was massive for me, Like,

489
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 4: I just think that was such a big thing. But

490
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 4: in terms of professional help, I sort of dabbled around obviously,

491
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 4: found some practitioners that I really resonated with, worked with

492
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 4: them to get myself back to a point where I

493
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 4: felt like I can't manage it. Yeah, and then that's

494
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 4: when I sort of took over and did my own

495
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 4: stuff as well.

496
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 1: This episode is brought to you by Naked Harvest Supplements.

497
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 1: I'm sure most of you know who Naked Harvest is,

498
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 1: but if you are new here, Naked Harvest is the

499
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: all natural supplement company I co founded with my brother.

500
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 1: Naked Harvest started because I personally had a really bad

501
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: experience where I found out a supplement that I was

502
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,880
Speaker 1: taking had ingredients that were not disclosed on the label,

503
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 1: and even though it said it was natural, it wasn't

504
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: as someone who is so conscious about what I put

505
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 1: in my body because of previous health issues. This made

506
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 1: me so upset. So I teamed up with my big

507
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 1: brother Cooper, who is also very health conscience. Here is

508
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 1: gluten free and dairy intolerant, and we built from the

509
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:08,360
Speaker 1: ground up a company that really cares about what we.

510
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:09,439
Speaker 2: Put in our supplements.

511
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,960

00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 1: All Right, guys, let's get straight back into the episode.

527
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 1: You did say about PCOS is a big source of

528
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 1: infertility in women.

529
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 2: Let's talk about that.

530
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 1: So why does it cause infertility and is it treatable?

531
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 4: I guess I'm case in point. I was told point

532
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 4: blank that by my doctor that I wasn't going to

533
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 4: be able to have children naturally, to cut and to

534
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 4: come back when I was ready to start fertility treatments.

535
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 3: Well, I have a baby now.

536
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 4: I gave birth in March last year, and he was

537
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 4: conceived one hundred percent naturally, So that was between my

538
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 4: diagnosis and having him, it was like under two years,

539
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:39,639
Speaker 4: you know what I mean. So it's kind of like, actually, no,

540
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 4: from conceiving diagnosis to conceiving was under two years. So

541
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 4: it's one of those things where I just think there's.

542
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 3: A lot of fear. People put this fear.

543
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,719
Speaker 4: In you that's not necessarily the truth, And I think, like,

544
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 4: if I can get anything across, it's to just don't

545
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 4: take that as actual gold.

546
00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:58,159
Speaker 3: Yeah it's not.

547
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not always the case, and there are things

548
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:02,879
Speaker 4: that you can do and it doesn't necessarily mean that

549
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 4: you might not you know, you might end up having

550
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 4: fertility treatments that might be the path that you go down,

551
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 4: but have a look at everything that you're doing first,

552
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 4: because to fall pregnant, everything has to be so perfect.

553
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 4: There is so many factors in place that have to

554
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 4: happen to fall to make a baby, like timing, everything

555
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,120
Speaker 4: has to be running smoothly. You have to be at

556
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 4: optimal levels in your house to fall pregnant, and then

557
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 4: to keep the baby is another thing as well, and

558
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 4: women with pcos are much more likely to have miscarriages

559
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 4: than when without pcos. So you know, what I really

560
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 4: think is so important is you've just got to get

561
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 4: your body to this point where it can fall pregnant

562
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,919
Speaker 4: and then house a baby safely. And that's when you

563
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 4: sort of let your body take over once you're fall

564
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 4: pregnant and do its thing. But I would say hands

565
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,919
Speaker 4: down that you you know, fertility is treatable, and I

566
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 4: think that it's again going to take time. It takes

567
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,400
Speaker 4: just an example, it takes one hundred days for your

568
00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 4: egg to once it's been released, to travel down the

569
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 4: opin tube to become fertile fertilized. So whatever you were

570
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 4: doing one hundred days ago is going to impact your

571
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:10,880
Speaker 4: fertility and your egg health. So that's minimum three months, right,

572
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 4: minimum three months, and who knows that's still that egg

573
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 4: still might not be you know, high enough quality. It

574
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 4: might take several months, It could take years to get

575
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 4: to that point. And I know that we have this

576
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 4: fear and stilled in us as well that we're sort

577
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,439
Speaker 4: of like on a timeline all this sort of stuff.

578
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 4: But if you don't make the time to try, like

579
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 4: you never know, you never treat those root causes. So

580
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 4: I think that it's one of those things that you've

581
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 4: got to at least give it a go.

582
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 1: Do you have advice for someone who's maybe in that

583
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:41,879
Speaker 1: position of they're trying to fall pregnant, they can't fall pregnant.

584
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 1: I guess more specifically in the mindset yeah.

585
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 2: Way of things. Do you have any advice?

586
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:48,880
Speaker 3: Totally?

587
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 4: I think the biggest thing I ever did in terms

588
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:56,440
Speaker 4: of fertility and mindset was I changed my mindset from

589
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 4: I've got a full pregnant I've got to increase my fertility,

590
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,400
Speaker 4: you know, I've got to have a baby like too.

591
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:02,679
Speaker 3: I've got to.

592
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 4: Get healthy and I've got to fix these imbalances that

593
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 4: are going on in my body, and I've got to

594
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 4: be at optimal health and from there the fertility will

595
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:16,159
Speaker 4: come naturally because rather than focusing just on the fertility

596
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 4: and just on falling pregnant, you're focusing on your health

597
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:23,640
Speaker 4: as a whole, and that is just so important rather

598
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 4: than fixating on the fertility side of things, because you

599
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 4: can't have optimal fertility if your health isn't optimal as well.

600
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 2: I love that.

601
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 1: And so let's switch gears and chat about your businesses.

602
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 1: Like you said, you have a few busy women, which

603
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 1: I love. Let's kind of talk about the pea cost

604
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 1: side of this. Can you tell us about your creation

605
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: of your herbal teas.

606
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 2: They're called Sisterhood with a Sea. I love that.

607
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 1: Can you tell us more about them, the sort of

608
00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 1: science behind them and what inspired.

609
00:28:59,160 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 2: You to make them?

610
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, so sisterhood. Actually, my husband came up with the

611
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 4: name my sisterhood. It is pretty cool that it came

612
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 4: about because I needed it. I was basically at this

613
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 4: point where I was being told to take so many

614
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 4: different herbs and you know, all these different things, and

615
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 4: I just couldn't keep track of them all, and I

616
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 4: sort of lost interest in taking them because I had

617
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 4: to measure them all out every morning, and I had

618
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 4: to and it just became sort of this really hard

619
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 4: thing to do that I couldn't be bothered. And so

620
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 4: I thought like, why is there no reason that I

621
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 4: can't be taking all of these herbs in sort of

622
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 4: one go. And that's when I sort of looked into

623
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 4: sourcing the herbs myself and then working with a natural

624
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 4: path to make sure that they were in the right ratios.

625
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 4: And so I was just making it for myself. Yeah,

626
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 4: and then this idea happened. I remember Flynn was actually

627
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 4: I'd been thinking about it for ages and then I

628
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 4: fell pregnant, so obviously then I was like, oh, I'm

629
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 4: just going to keep making it for myself, like it's

630
00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 4: too hard.

631
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 3: I'm not going to like try and make this a And.

632
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 4: Then I gave birth to Flynn and he was about

633
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 4: eight weeks old, and I was like, you know what,

634
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 4: I need to bring this to market, Like I need

635
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 4: to bring this to life because I was getting asked.

636
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 3: Daily what herbs I was taking, what supplements I was

637
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 3: taking all this stuff, and I was.

638
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 4: Like, I just need to be able to tell people

639
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 4: that this is what it is and you can just

640
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 4: get it here and try it, you know, see how

641
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 4: you go.

642
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 3: And the other thing was with taking all these different herbs.

643
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 4: Not only was it getting increasingly hard to source them all,

644
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 4: but it was so expensive because I had to buy

645
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 4: them all individually, and so it was just like so

646
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 4: full on. So that's how it started, and from there

647
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 4: I sort of started sourcing. I was working with a

648
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 4: fantastic I still am working with a fantastic manufacturer who

649
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 4: is all my herbs are hand blended in Australia. We

650
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 4: source the highest quality herbs from around the world, where

651
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 4: they're all ethically sourced as well, which is really really

652
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 4: important to me. And it's just this basically this beautiful

653
00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 4: process of finding these amazingly incredibly powerful herbs, putting them

654
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 4: in one easy blend that you can through as at all. Yeah,

655
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 4: it's so easy and it was like the best thing

656
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 4: ever and I use it every day and I think

657
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 4: I couldn't believe it when I started to get hundreds

658
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 4: of reviews coming in from people using it, saying.

659
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 2: I want to try it.

660
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 3: Just oh my gosh, I'm going to give you a

661
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 3: packet so you can tell.

662
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 1: I just I love how this came from. You had

663
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 1: a problem yourself. It was your own solution, and I

664
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 1: love this idea coming from your own journey. And it's

665
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 1: also such like a catalyst of you going through this

666
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 1: really hard time and this struggle and something kind of,

667
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 1: you know, really good coming out of it.

668
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 3: So I love that thank you.

669
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 4: That actually makes me so happy because it really was

670
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 4: like I never planned to do it.

671
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 3: It was nothing I ever planned to do.

672
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 4: It's certainly not a business that I, you know, make

673
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 4: tons of money from, but I love it and it

674
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 4: brings me so much joy that something that's really helped

675
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 4: me is now helping other people. Yeah, And just like

676
00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 4: honestly getting their reviews and every single day I wake

677
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 4: up and I've got a DM from someone. The best

678
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 4: ones when I get dms and someone send me like

679
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 4: an ultra sound pick because they've fallen pregnant, and they're like,

680
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 4: I've tried everything, like literally tried everything, and it was

681
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 4: just the missing piece in the puzzle.

682
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 3: And that's the other thing. It's like, it's all well

683
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 3: and good to change your diet, yeah, but maybe you're

684
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 3: still deficient in something.

685
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 2: It can be so many moving parts, like so.

686
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 3: Many movings, yeah, and it's a matter.

687
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 4: Of finding what your puzzle pieces are, and that's going

688
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 4: to be different for everyone, so different. Yeah, And I

689
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:30,959
Speaker 4: think it's just one of those things where you do

690
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 4: have to just really tap into yourself to find what's

691
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 4: going on.

692
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 1: Yes, And I remember because when I was kind of

693
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 1: going on my hormone and balance journey, it was like

694
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 1: a good two years and I remember thinking that because like,

695
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 1: you know, I try this thing that works for this

696
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 1: person and this thing and all these different things, and

697
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 1: it can sometimes feel really like maddening. Nothing's working for me.

698
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 1: I'm so broken. So I love what you said. We like,

699
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 1: we're all so different and different thing is gonna work

700
00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 1: for us? And yeah, like it's all these like move

701
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 1: parts and it's not like just acing one thing of

702
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 1: your life.

703
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 2: It's like getting everything sort of interbalanced together.

704
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 3: Yeah.

705
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 4: Fine, absolutely, And I think like at the end of

706
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 4: the day, there's going to be a few key pillars

707
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 4: which is going to be for everyone, and that is

708
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 4: you know, what are you eating, what's your environment like,

709
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 4: like what are your stresses? What products are you using

710
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 4: in terms of you know, are you putting toxic products

711
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 4: on your body? Are you using toxic cleaning material? Because

712
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 4: obviously that's all being absorbed as well, so that's all

713
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 4: environmental and then as well, like what are you deficient in?

714
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 4: What do you need to increase in your diet or

715
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 4: through supplementation or through herbs whatever. But that you know,

716
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 4: there's a few key pillows, but each pillar is going

717
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 4: to be slightly different for everyone and what you do,

718
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:48,719
Speaker 4: but yeah, it is really really important, I think. And

719
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 4: then Mamahood, which is the other tea that I created

720
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 4: as well, was came out of again in need because

721
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 4: I had no idea until I fell pregnant and started breastfeeding.

722
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 4: Women with PCOS, A lot of women are not able

723
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 4: to breastfeed because I don't have a good enough milk

724
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,840
Speaker 4: supply really, and I had no idea that that was

725
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:09,439
Speaker 4: even a thing.

726
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,439
Speaker 3: So I sort of went on this journey. And that's

727
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 3: not just when we pcos.

728
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 4: That's all like hormonal imbalances in general, and some women

729
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,920
Speaker 4: just have poor milk supply as well, like that stress

730
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 4: can really affect your milk supply, you know, not eating

731
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 4: your food. So I sort of went on this journey

732
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:27,880
Speaker 4: of finding again the right combination of herbs, including herbs

733
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,280
Speaker 4: that were sort of proven and well known to increase

734
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:34,280
Speaker 4: milk supply and then doing the same thing, just packaging

735
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 4: them up and putting them in a really easy to

736
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 4: use tea that helps and I, you know, for me,

737
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 4: I can have a cup of Mamahood, which is my

738
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 4: milk supply andation support tea, and within thirty minutes.

739
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:50,399
Speaker 3: Can have more milk coming through, which you.

740
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 4: Don't think, Like before I had a baby, I had

741
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:55,760
Speaker 4: no idea how stressful that would be to not have milk.

742
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 2: True, I don't never know.

743
00:34:57,960 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, you don't think about it because why would you,

744
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 4: like you, but then when your baby's screaming at you

745
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 4: because he's starving and wants food and there's nothing you

746
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:09,240
Speaker 4: can do, like, at least this is a really gentle, safe,

747
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 4: natural thing that you can do to help increase your supply.

748
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:14,880
Speaker 4: And you know, it might not work for everyone, but

749
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 4: it seems to be so powerful and be working for

750
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,360
Speaker 4: so many women that I've been working, you know, have

751
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:23,359
Speaker 4: given it to and have been trying it as well.

752
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 4: So they again came out of a need and of

753
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:27,319
Speaker 4: need for my own And then I.

754
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 3: Just put it in a packet.

755
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,239
Speaker 1: Well, I honestly reckon all the best businesses like it

756
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 1: starts from that one hundred percent because you have such

757
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:35,760
Speaker 1: a good idea.

758
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:37,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you have a drive to make it work

759
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 4: because you want the products exactly. And then that's and

760
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:42,919
Speaker 4: I think as well, you're so much more passionate about

761
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 4: it being really high quality because you want to drink it.

762
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:47,879
Speaker 3: You want to be ethical, because you want it to.

763
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 4: Come from you, like it has to be really special

764
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 4: and important.

765
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:52,800
Speaker 3: So yeah, I totally agree with that.

766
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 1: That's how that's even Like I started Naked Harvest off

767
00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:01,439
Speaker 1: the whim of having other supplements that were really bad

768
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 1: for my skin. That I found out was you know,

769
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:06,840
Speaker 1: putting stuff in their supplements that weren't like very misleading,

770
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:08,840
Speaker 1: not on the labels, like all this sort of stuff,

771
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 1: and I just thought, I'm putting this into my body.

772
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 1: And I was so angry as well, because I do

773
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 1: have an influence, I do share, and I had shared

774
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,319
Speaker 1: these products for months and months and then I found

775
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:21,279
Speaker 1: out this and it was again, Yeah, it came from

776
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 1: that I cannot believe, like this is happening, and I

777
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 1: wanted to know what I'm putting in my body, like

778
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 1: have clean supplements and make sure they're good quality and

779
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 1: there's no like crap and fillers and all that sort

780
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 1: of thing. Which I found out so many of them

781
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 1: just have and it's like it's so alarming, So one

782
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:41,800
Speaker 1: hundred percent. I love that it came from this passion

783
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 1: and that would be such a driver too.

784
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, totally and exactly what you said, like when it's

785
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 4: your faith on the line, like when it's your product.

786
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 2: Do you make it?

787
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 3: You make it amazing? Exactly, you can't afford to not

788
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 3: be you know, That's.

789
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 1: What I That's why I really love businesses where you

790
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,719
Speaker 1: do kind of know the face of the brand and

791
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 1: it all makes sense.

792
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, totally, Yeah, I know that's so true. That's

793
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 3: really cool. Well, let's talk about.

794
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:09,879
Speaker 1: More about your lifestyle in regards to business. So you've

795
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 1: created these amazing products, you run an Instagram, you're launching

796
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 1: your podcast soon, and you have a model link agency

797
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 1: like Jesus Christ girl, So how do you balance motherhood

798
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:24,640
Speaker 1: and being an entrepreneur? Like talk us through maybe, like

799
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:27,360
Speaker 1: what's your morning routine? Like do you have a nighttime routine?

800
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 1: Obviously you have a child, so I'm guessing there's not

801
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 1: too much routine us about that.

802
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:37,319
Speaker 4: I guess I've never been a superstructured person, Like it's

803
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 4: not in my knee I've never had a nine to

804
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 4: five job. I've never woken up and done the same

805
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 4: thing every day, Like every day is different for me.

806
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 3: But every morning.

807
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:49,279
Speaker 4: We start our day depending on what time Flyinn wakes up.

808
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 4: That could be four am, that could be six am,

809
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 4: we don't never know. But we will basically have a

810
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 4: big family cuddle. So Flynn gets in the bed, the

811
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 4: dogs get in the bed, We have big cuddle, and

812
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 4: that's sort of how we start a day. Even if

813
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:02,440
Speaker 4: it's for like, you know, three minutes, that's better than

814
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:03,440
Speaker 4: better than nothing.

815
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 3: And then from there we basically get ready.

816
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:08,840
Speaker 4: Normally, I feed Flinn, take the dogs for a walk,

817
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 4: and I'll sort of start to My days changed a

818
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:15,799
Speaker 4: lot since I had a baby, because in the previously,

819
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 4: I would start work straight away, like I'd start looking

820
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 4: at my emails. I'd start like I sort of mentioned before,

821
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 4: which was this you know, cycle of stress.

822
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:25,359
Speaker 3: Just getting worse and worse.

823
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:27,239
Speaker 4: But now I really am like, all right, well, I'm

824
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 4: not going to touch my phone until sort of say

825
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 4: seven thirty, and that's when I will start to get

826
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 4: up and start to do my day. Always have breakfast,

827
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 4: that's really really important to me. So normally I'll prep

828
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 4: that the night before, and especially since having a baby, now,

829
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 4: like finding time to eat sounds so stupid, but there's

830
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 4: like very little time to eat. I never understood that

831
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 4: until I had a baby, So I was like, why

832
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 4: can't you eat like that's foot with and so yeah,

833
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:52,799
Speaker 4: normally we'll do like overnight oats or something like that,

834
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 4: or at the mint we're obsessed.

835
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:55,880
Speaker 3: With a pank. Yeah, so it's all ready.

836
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 4: So I'll like make pancakes night before, put them in

837
00:38:57,760 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 4: the fridge, and then you can just you know, put

838
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:00,880
Speaker 4: some nut butter on them and they're.

839
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 3: Ready to go.

840
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:03,719
Speaker 4: So that's sort of like how I start my day.

841
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:06,800
Speaker 4: In terms of what happens during the day, it's always different.

842
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 4: I'm always doing something new, whether it's you know, working

843
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:13,439
Speaker 4: on my agency. And I have to say, the best

844
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 4: thing I ever did in terms of business was get

845
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 4: great staff, because yes, it's a cost, but it is

846
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:22,880
Speaker 4: the best thing that you can do is invest in

847
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:24,839
Speaker 4: whether even if you're a small business and you can

848
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 4: outsource to freelancers and things like that. Like, I just

849
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:30,440
Speaker 4: think it takes so much stress out of what's going on,

850
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 4: and I realize that, you know, everyone's in the financial

851
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 4: position to do that straight away.

852
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:35,920
Speaker 3: But if you can, you get to a point.

853
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 4: And you think that you're you're going to be mentally

854
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 4: better off having someone else to come in and help you,

855
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 4: like I would highly recommend doing that. So I've got

856
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:46,759
Speaker 4: great stuff for my other for my agency, they do

857
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 4: a lot and then I sort of just manage it

858
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 4: and oversee it, and when they've got a problem, they

859
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:52,399
Speaker 4: come to me. But otherwise I kind of just watch

860
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:55,239
Speaker 4: everything happen and then I jump in as needed. And

861
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:58,799
Speaker 4: then with my pcos to wellness stuff, that is just

862
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:01,840
Speaker 4: all passionate everything. It's just what I do in my

863
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 4: daily life. So essentially I document what I'm doing in

864
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:07,320
Speaker 4: my daily life, what I'm eating, things, I'm trying treatments,

865
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 4: I'm doing the herbs, I'm using, what's going on with sisterhood.

866
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 4: That's just I'm not going out of my way to

867
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:16,760
Speaker 4: do that because that's what I'm doing in my everyday life,

868
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 4: and then I just put it on Instagram sometimes, but

869
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 4: that's pretty much me and I love like obviously live

870
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:25,440
Speaker 4: near the water, and so it's really important for me

871
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 4: every day to go and try and see the water,

872
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:29,759
Speaker 4: even if I'm not in the water. If I can

873
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:32,320
Speaker 4: go and see it, I feel like my mental state

874
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 4: is like one hundred times better off for it. So yeah,

875
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:37,719
Speaker 4: that's the I don't know, I'm not really exciting and

876
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:40,280
Speaker 4: that like, can I do something different than anywhere?

877
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 2: Well, I don't think that's the thing.

878
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 1: I don't think it's this magical tip trip or anything

879
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:50,279
Speaker 1: like that. It's finding what works for your lifestyle and

880
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:52,280
Speaker 1: your mental health and your family.

881
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that was perfect. I love that. Well, yeah,

882
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 3: I think having a family just changes everything.

883
00:40:57,800 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 2: Oh I can imagine.

884
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's cool when it's different and you just.

885
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:02,839
Speaker 2: Want for sure.

886
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 1: And so last question, And I want to ask this

887
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 1: because when I was kind of going through my hormone issues,

888
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:13,719
Speaker 1: I felt very alone. And then also I could tell

889
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 1: Tim felt very I don't want to say useless. Tim

890
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 1: felt like, oh, what can I do to help you?

891
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 1: And I wanted to ask you if you have any

892
00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:28,720
Speaker 1: advice of people who might have a friend or family

893
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 1: who's going through PTOs, just you know, on how to

894
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:33,800
Speaker 1: help or support them.

895
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:36,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, totally, And I honestly I wish that there was

896
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 4: just like some handbook they give you when you're diagnosed,

897
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 4: so you can be.

898
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 3: Like here, read this and you can help me.

899
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 4: I think for me, the biggest thing is to first

900
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 4: of all, to anyone that's close to you and is

901
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:49,439
Speaker 4: a loved one to you. You just need to start

902
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:52,400
Speaker 4: off and explain to them that this is what's going on,

903
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 4: and this is maybe why I'm feeling like this or

904
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:56,800
Speaker 4: why I'm struggling with this, and I just want you

905
00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:58,400
Speaker 4: to know when I want that to be in confidence

906
00:41:58,400 --> 00:41:59,800
Speaker 4: and I want you to understand that I'm telling you

907
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:02,080
Speaker 4: this because I love you. And then on their part,

908
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:06,000
Speaker 4: I think that it's really about hey, I'm here for you,

909
00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 4: holler out if you need anything. But just doing the

910
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:10,920
Speaker 4: little things like for Jesse, he just he'll go and

911
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 4: get me every night he makes me a cup of tea,

912
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:15,239
Speaker 4: Like he'll he'll go and get my sisterhood tea and

913
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:16,880
Speaker 4: he'll make a batch and he'll bring it over to

914
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:19,360
Speaker 4: me and every night, and that's something really small, but

915
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 4: it's something I don't have to get up and do myself,

916
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 4: and it's a really nice thing to do. But just

917
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 4: making time for the people as well, Like if you're

918
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:27,919
Speaker 4: a friend and maybe you haven't heard from your friend

919
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:29,839
Speaker 4: for a while, and maybe you know that they've been

920
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:32,359
Speaker 4: trying to conceive and it hasn't been happening. Send him

921
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 4: a text and just be like, how's it going, you know,

922
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:36,319
Speaker 4: just checking in. You don't have to say have you

923
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:37,280
Speaker 4: are you falling pregnant?

924
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 3: Like people hate that you.

925
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 4: They don't want to be asked if they're pregnant. Yeah,

926
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 4: like just let them but check in and you know,

927
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,799
Speaker 4: tag them in a funny meme or just so they

928
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 4: know that you're there and you're thinking of them. And

929
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 4: I don't think that there's a lot you can do

930
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:53,960
Speaker 4: to help them, but there's a lot you can do

931
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:57,160
Speaker 4: to support them and make them aware that you're there

932
00:42:57,200 --> 00:42:59,919
Speaker 4: if you need them. Yeah, and you know they may await,

933
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:01,920
Speaker 4: but I think it's yeah, well, it's so nice to

934
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:03,880
Speaker 4: know that people are around you and they're not going

935
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 4: to constantly ask you when you're having a baby.

936
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 2: I love that. No, that was perfect, Thank you for that.

937
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:13,160
