25
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 2: We spent six days in Melbourne. Basically it was so

26
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 2: we could see our families. Matt's family. Matt's parents had

27
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 2: their fiftieth wedding anniversary, which was so so so so

28
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 2: lovely and sweet, and we thought, oh, well, also we're

29
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,759
Speaker 2: going to America, let's do some goodbyes, so we made

30
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 2: sure that we saw my parents as well, cut up

31
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 2: with some mates. I did a full day of podcasting

32
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 2: as well. So it's just one of those trips that

33
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 2: was wild and we jammed so much in Like when

34
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 2: I get my haircut, that's always Melbourne.

35
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: I like hair.

36
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 2: Brows, wax all Melbourne, teeth all Melbourne, I guess because

37
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 2: I'm from there. It's just like when I go back

38
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 2: out of stack at all. So basically we got in

39
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 2: at the airport, we picked up our Honda. I did

40
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 2: a collab deal with Honda, their brand new CLV.

41
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: It was so much fun. We drive a CRV at.

42
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 2: Home already in real life, and I've worked with Honda,

43
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 2: I don't know, like half a dozen times over the years,

44
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 2: and it just timed in perfectly that they really want

45
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 2: to do an ambassador collab. And I really wanted to

46
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 2: make sure that I could drive up and see Mum

47
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 2: in Dale'sford. So we literally got in at the airport,

48
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 2: picked the car up, went up to see Mom in Dalsford.

49
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 2: And she's got a beautiful farm with two sheep. She's

50
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 2: got Neo and Stevie. Now Stevie was handred, so Stevie

51
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 2: is like a puppy and loves human attention and we'll

52
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 2: like nuzzle up to you and lean on you and

53
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,959
Speaker 2: let you pat him, very much like a pooch.

54
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 1: Like a little dog. So we did a little hike

55
00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,959
Speaker 1: around Mum's property. What else did we do?

56
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 2: That first night? Mum made us dinner. She did like

57
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 2: Lion's main steak, so she went to the farmer's munk

58
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 2: and bought Lion's main mushroom and kind of cooked them

59
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 2: like steaks.

60
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: They were really delicious.

61
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 2: And that next day Honda organized a little self care

62
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 2: day for us at Hepburn Spring. So Mum, Matt and

63
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,839
Speaker 2: I all went to hepburn springs and had wellness massages

64
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 2: which were lovely. Then we went out to lunch at

65
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 2: this place called Cliffy's and both Mum and Matt got

66

68
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 2: I didn't get anything there because I really wanted to

69
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 2: just make a big salad at home because knew we're

70
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,640

00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 2: that night to a place called Virgin Kitchen, which was

72
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:53,000

Speaker 1: There are snakes.

88
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 2: Not gonna happen because snakes love water and rocks, and

Speaker 2: that was where she was trying to get me to hike,

90

Speaker 2: chopping my hair short even though it's stick as anything.

106
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,080

00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 2: it's just like happy days and their flann is amazing

158
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 2: and gluten free. Everything there is pretty much gluten free.

159
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: It is so so so good.

160
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 2: Yes, So we did our healthy cookup that next night,

161
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 2: and then I had acting school early Saturday morning, and

162
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 2: then literally from acting school went straight to Matt in

163
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 2: the city to the Parquai where Matt's parents had their

164
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 2: fiftieth wedding anniversary, which is so beautiful. And then from

165
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 2: that wedding anniversary, I went straight to my friend Tim's

166
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 2: house and he made me dinner and that was delivered.

167
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 2: It was like salmon sober noodle, salad vibes. It was

168
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 2: just so nice to chill and we had a movie

169
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 2: night and watch one of our favorite movies in the

170
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 2: entire world. It's called Ever After Drew Barrymore Do Gray

171
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 2: Scott or Doug gray Scott. I don't even know how

172
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 2: to say his name. And it's like a Cinderella esque story.

173
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 2: I think it was filmed in nineteen ninety eight. Anyway, incredible.

174
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 2: We had a little movie night and that was so

175
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 2: so much fun. And the next morning I were We

176
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 2: flew back and got up, went for a big walk

177
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 2: with Dad and chet Chett is his border collie, and

178
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 2: we went and had coffee and then went for a

179
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 2: really nice stroll together and he took me up to

180
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 2: my grandparents' house that I was like a lot of

181
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 2: my childhood I spent there. It has been sold since,

182
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 2: but he was like, oh, you'll wait too, you see

183
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 2: all the changes live mate. So Dad gave me a

184
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 2: little tour of the old hood and we got coffee

185
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 2: at a place called Little Bird, which I would have

186
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 2: talked to you about my last Melbourne diary.

187
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 1: It's just a really cute, little quaint.

188
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 2: Coffee shopping Ascot Bail, which is where Dad lives when

189
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 2: he's in Malbs and so yeah, it was really nice.

190
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:21,199
Speaker 1: But it was.

191
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 2: Jam absolutely jam packed, like so jam packed that trip.

192
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 2: And I know that Sydney is going to be the same.

193
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 2: Like Boss and I just doing work nights every night,

194
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 2: just trying to like catch up and get ahead of things.

195
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 1: So it's really exciting.

196
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 2: It's also like there's just a when you're like, oh

197
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 2: my goodness, there's so much too. There's so much and

198
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,719
Speaker 2: it kind of stresses you out. But Sydney will be

199
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 2: lots of fun. Like I said, I've got a day

200
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 2: of pods, then I've got a day of I've got

201
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 2: a meeting with my pod manager. Then I'm filming this

202
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 2: thing for a company that hasn't quite launched yet, but

203
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 2: it's all about women's fertility. And as you know, about

204
00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 2: a year ago, I froze eggs. Well, Boss, I froze embryos.

205
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 2: So they want to interview me about that, which is

206
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 2: really nice because I just like, I love to like

207
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 2: just pull the I don't know what this is like,

208
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 2: pull the veil away and just be really honest about

209
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 2: that kind of stuff because it was really hard for me,

210
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 2: but I'm really glad I did it, you know what

211
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 2: I mean. So I've got a filmed interview about that

212
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 2: on Thursday as well, what else? And then Friday is free,

213
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 2: but I think we might be capturing up with someone

214
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 2: for brecky and then lunch or dinner or something like that.

215
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 2: Then we fly out for sing Saturday morning. So another

216
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 2: busy one. And I was saying, I didn't my pete

217
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 2: this morning, and I was saying to my trainer, I

218
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 2: was like, I'm so pumped to just like chill in

219
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 2: Byron for a little while, which we do get to do,

220
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 2: which is so exciting. There's another thing that I have

221
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 2: been doing while I've been in Byron, and I did

222
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 2: it last night. I've booked it like I've been doing

223
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 2: it weekly at the moment. The company is called sante

224
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 2: Lymphatic Stimulation Endomology, so it kind of works on simulating

225
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 2: your limp. But I think it definitely help is helping

226
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 2: me with cellulite. So I'm noticing that I get this

227
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 2: isn't sponsored by the way, like I love it. I'm

228
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 2: a pain client, but it's like I get cellulite on

229
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 2: my thighs, front and back and butt, and then I

230
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 2: also get like I hold all my like weight around

231
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 2: my tummy. Anyway, since I've been doing this, I've really

232
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 2: noticed a bit of a difference, so I'm excited. So

233
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 2: it's called edomology. Edomology.

234
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: It's a new thing for me. I'm loving it. I

235
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: feel good. Simon's the Legends, so we have a little

236
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 1: chit chat.

237
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,439
Speaker 2: You put on this cool little white well not little,

238
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 2: but you put on this white body suit and it's

239
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 2: literally like from your ankles all the way like all

240
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 2: the way up and then to your wrists as well.

241
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: But yeah, I love it.

242
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 2: It's so it's so much fun and it's like calming

243
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 2: and I feel rejuvenated, and I just think it's part

244
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 2: of my mental health plan at the moment as well, now,

245
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 2: which I know sounds really weird, but just like doing

246
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,040
Speaker 2: these things myself, like Pete once a week, getting that

247
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:04,199
Speaker 2: once a week. We've started seeing Matt's got a mayo therapist.

248
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 2: I think I told you about that last week's storrypod

249
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 2: the one before my Mayo's the company Joel Legend and

250
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 2: he's having me with my posture because I'm one of

251
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,079
Speaker 2: those people that like juts their neck forward and hunches

252
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 2: the shoulders and kind of rolls forward. Anyway, So that's

253
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 2: a week that was Melbourne Whirlwind trip about to do

254
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 2: a Sydney whirlwind trip, then we get some time in

255
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 2: beautiful Byron Bay and then we jet. So it's exciting,

256
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 2: but there's a lot of stuff to get.

257
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: Done between now and going to America.

258
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 2: Now Monday, the Monday episode that's just come out is

259
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 2: Hugh Stuart absolute legend.

260
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: He's a photographer.

261
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 2: He has shot so many incredible people, like that iconic

262
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 2: shot of Leonardo DiCaprio from Romeo and Juliet where he's

263
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 2: goes Hawaiian shirt on, he's got the gun and it's

264
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 2: actually shot in this backstreet of Darlinghurst in Sydney, like

265
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 2: this would have been years ago, like Leo would have

266
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 2: been just twenty one or something like that. And then

267
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 2: that was like the first time Hugh worked with Baslerman

268
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:06,679
Speaker 2: and then like he's worked on nearly all of his

269
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 2: projects since and that incredible Chanell campaign with Nicole Kidman.

270
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 2: But we also talked about Clint Eastwood, Michael Caine, his

271
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 2: shot dude, law Im McCallan.

272
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: He's just got a really cool human.

273
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 2: Like he's the human that he is is cool, Like

274
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 2: he's just really curious and inquisitive and likes having chats

275
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 2: to people, so he does pop up portraits all over

276
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 2: like Melbourne, Sydney is where his studio is, but he

277
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 2: goes to Melbourne does pop ups, and then he comes

278
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 2: to Bangalore Byron Bay, which is like the hinterland of

279
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 2: Byron Bay, and it's two hundred and fifty bucks a

280
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 2: pop and you can get portraits done.

281
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: I've had them done before. Boss has had them done before.

282
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 2: Actor mates of mine have had them done before, and

283
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 2: they look so much better than the headshots because he

284
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 2: kind of gets the essence of who.

285
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: You are and what you're about.

286
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 2: Anyway, you can go with your animal, you can go

287
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 2: with your fan BAM, you can go on your own.

288
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 2: Highly recommend it and listen to the pod because he's

289
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 2: just so inspiring and honest and real and just I

290
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:13,199
Speaker 2: think cares about humans. It's very noise, it's very refreshing

291
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 2: and definitely one of my favorite interviews to date. Like

292
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 2: just such a cool human being.

293
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: Right O. Book giveaway this week.

294
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 2: You're actually getting a book that is hot off the press,

295
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 2: so it's just come out.

296
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: Like really really recently.

297
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 2: The only reason I'm giving this away is I was

298
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 2: sent this book to interview this author on the podcast.

299
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 2: Her name is Sarah Russbatch, and she's got a book

300
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 2: out called Beyond Booze, How to Create a Life You

301
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 2: Love Alcohol Free. Anyway, I started reading it and prepping it,

302
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 2: so I think it's got some highlighting. Yes, I think

303
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 2: I have highlighted a few things in it. Yeah, on

304
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 2: the first few pages. But it'll feel like a brand

305
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 2: new book, like it's still got the press release inside it,

306
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 2: which is what they do. It's kind of fun to see.

307
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 2: It's what they do. They give you the media release

308
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 2: and the book. It didn't time in her days and

309
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 2: my days in Sydney didn't time in to do a

310
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 2: pod together. And you know me, I'm a stickler for

311
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 2: a real life interview. I don't do zoom interviews, only

312
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 2: do interviews in real life.

313
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: And so.

314
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 2: I am giving it away because I'm not going to

315
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 2: get to interview this author. She seems really, really cool,

316
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 2: and the book's a really good read. Like even as

317
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 2: I started, I was like, this is a really good

318
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 2: good read. But I'll read you a bit of the

319
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 2: stuff off the media release. So Beyond Booze, How to

320
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 2: Create a Life you Love Alcohol Free. The goal isn't

321
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 2: to be sober, The goal is to love yourself so

322
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 2: much that you don't need to drink. For decades, we've

323
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 2: been sold this idea that alcohol is our reward at

324
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 2: the end of a busy day. Not only do we

325
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 2: use it to celebrate and commiserate, but we rely on

326
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 2: it to relieve stress and exhaustion of the daily grind,

327
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 2: to help us switch off, switch on emotions, enhance emotions,

328
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 2: and everything between. We use it for self care, for

329
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 2: social life, and for our time ourselves. So that's about

330
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 2: why the book exists. Let's read about what it gives you.

331
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 2: Pack full of guidance, support and practical tools beyond Booze

332
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 2: will help you create a life you love so much

333
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 2: that you no longer need to drink.

334
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: It's not so much.

335
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 2: About how about how to take alcohol out, but rather

336
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 2: what to add in and create a more fulfilling, purposeful,

337
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 2: and concontented life. It's about finding your way back to

338
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 2: feeling ten out of ten and falling in love with

339
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 2: your life and yourself without booze.

340
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: So really cool.

341
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 2: The bit that I read at the very start is

342
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 2: her story, so Sarah's story and in relation to alcohol,

343
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 2: which is really interesting and honest, and she would have

344
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 2: very vulnerable of her to share that so very interesting book.

345
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 2: Sarah is a gray Area drinking and sobriety coach, so

346
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 2: this is her whole jam. Anyway, I'm going to give

347
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 2: it away because I haven't had a chance to interview her,

348
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 2: and now that I'm going to America, I'm not going

349
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 2: to be able to interview her. So this book is

350
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 2: going to be given away as a prize. But it's

351
