Speaker 2: in though.
Speaker 1: Yeah, my best friend and actually I think four my

Speaker 2: Yeah, it's because it's nine months after Christmas and news.
Speaker 1: Oh sick. All right, guys, So life updates. If you
Speaker 1: have me on the Gram, you would know I moved house.
Speaker 2: And it's beautiful. I can't get over it.
Speaker 1: I've got to show you more of the video, yes,
Speaker 1: after the episode, but I did a little snippet. It's like,
Speaker 1: well I've I've told you guys on the potty. It's
Speaker 1: like a sanctuary. It's the ultimate cross of we have
Speaker 1: ocean views, you know, me being close to the ocean.
Speaker 1: That was a really big thing. Yeah, and then we
Speaker 1: are right next door a nature reserves, so like no
Speaker 1: one can field there, and it's so beautiful. There's just
Speaker 1: animals in there and oh my god, a tea. It
Speaker 1: was raining this morning and just looking out into like
Speaker 1: the forest or bush, whatever we want to call it,
Speaker 1: nature was just so peaceful.
Speaker 2: I was I can imagine.
Speaker 1: Oh and I already feel so at home. Oh that's
Speaker 1: so good. Yeah, I guess you know, I did say
Speaker 1: when we moved, so when we saw the house, I
Speaker 1: was like, this is my house, and I still have
Speaker 1: that feelings. But we have moved.
Speaker 2: Have you completely finished moving? Yeah?
Speaker 1: No, Okay, so there's We've done our room, We've done
Speaker 1: Ivy's room, the kitchen, living, but there's like boxes in
Speaker 1: the guest room and my office. But like, I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna leave that till we get furniture because it's like, okay,
Speaker 1: you can't come back with that exactly. And I've kind
Speaker 1: of just like put it in the room and closed
Speaker 1: the door so it looks fine out ofside, out of
Speaker 1: mine exactly. But we don't have a lot of furniture
Speaker 1: because we plan to airb and be our house out
Speaker 1: that we moved from, so we had to leave a
Speaker 1: lot of our furniture there. Yeah, so we had to
Speaker 1: get new furniture and you know the whole thing with
Speaker 1: COVID and furniture and stuff, so slowly getting that. We
Speaker 1: do have a dining table and a couch and an
Speaker 1: outside area and we have our bed and all Ivy's
Speaker 1: room came with us, so we're fine.
Speaker 2: That's so good.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, And then also I just I don't feel
Speaker 1: in a rush with this house to like do anything
Speaker 1: or like fill the rooms. We now, I just want
Speaker 1: to like, yeah, settle in and then yeah exactly, because
Speaker 1: I do have plans. I want to do like a
Speaker 1: couple of things to house, renovate the kitchen and just
Speaker 1: like a couple of rooms too. It's not that it's bad,
Speaker 1: but it's just not my style.
Speaker 2: Yeah that's so fair.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a kind of like it. You can tell
Speaker 1: a male has designed this house because there's a lot
Speaker 1: of dark features and wood. I'm like, oh, let's paint
Speaker 1: that white. But in all why paint it all?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: No, So yeah, we've got some exciting stuff, so I'll
Speaker 1: obviously show you guys as I do it, but for
Speaker 1: now I just want to get in there and feel
Speaker 1: settled and like get to know a new area and
Speaker 1: close to yours. Basically no Ivy's room. So the how
Speaker 1: like we live on a hill. So when I say
Speaker 1: the levels, don't freak out. But the house is six levels,
Speaker 1: Oh whoa, that's a lot of but because it's it's
Speaker 1: literally like on a very steep hill, so it has
Speaker 1: to be to get the rooms and stuff, if that
Speaker 1: makes sense. So it's goes out. The master is the
Speaker 1: top level, and then the second level under that is kitchen, living, dining,
Speaker 1: and then she's the level under that.
Speaker 2: Oh so there's like two Yeah.
Speaker 1: There's a level in between us. But we can hear
Speaker 1: her cry. Oh so you're fine. We tested it.
Speaker 2: You made her cry.
Speaker 1: Well, we just like she went to sleep and then
Speaker 1: cried and we were in bed and we're like, yep,
Speaker 1: we can definitely hear it because the stairwell goes up
Speaker 1: like the whole way, so that just like echoes. Fuck,
Speaker 1: she's got a loud cry. Honestly, Oh my god, you
Speaker 1: can tell me she's my child because she's so loud.
Speaker 1: That's good though, Yeah, you love a loud we do,
Speaker 1: we do.
Speaker 2: Anyway.
Speaker 1: That is my life update. So my life has been
Speaker 1: a bit of a shit show in regards to like
Speaker 1: feeling you know, like we just came off that me
Speaker 1: doing a hoot girl reset and feeling so good and
Speaker 1: so like I've got all these new habits and I
Speaker 1: had the move week and I just went.
Speaker 2: To shit and you went off social media as well.
Speaker 2: How is that?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I forgot about that feels like so long ago,
Speaker 1: so I kind of yeah, I made the plan in
Speaker 1: regards to you know, paid posts and different stuff on
Speaker 1: my social media to have that week free because of
Speaker 1: the move. And then on the Monday, Ivy girl was
Speaker 1: so unwell, so we thought she had chicken pox, but
Speaker 1: now we're thinking she didn't. The doctor was like, oh,
Speaker 1: it could be, I don't know, wasn't very but really
Speaker 1: that does No, there's not. They just like look and
Speaker 1: guess all. The doctor's like if because she had spots everywhere, Oh, okay,
Speaker 1: and but she's like, this could just be a rash.
Speaker 1: But if it scabs up, it's chickens.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 1: But if it doesn't, it's just like a rash. And
Speaker 1: it kind of scabbed up, it kind of didn't, so
Speaker 1: I don't know. Basically what happened is Monday she had
Speaker 1: full temperatures and just was like very silky and miserable,
Speaker 1: not well. And then on the Wednesday the spots came out.
Speaker 1: But then I spoke to someone and they said sometimes
Speaker 1: they can just have a random virus and the spots
Speaker 1: are actually the body expelling the virus.
Speaker 2: Sort of like when people get hives when they're si K.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah, so Ivy wasn't well, so I was
Speaker 1: just like, I need to not have any distractions, and
Speaker 1: I always My best friend did a week off social
Speaker 1: media and she has a social media business, and she
Speaker 1: just said it was such a good resett for her
Speaker 1: like body and mind, because she's like, I just realized
Speaker 1: I waste so much time on there. And I do
Speaker 1: it too where I'm like, oh, this is my work,
Speaker 1: but it's like, really, you're just scrolling.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know what you mean. I get it on TikTok.
Speaker 2: I'm like, I need to find a good real.
Speaker 1: This is for the podcast, yes, just looking at random tiktoks. No,
Speaker 1: And I just realized I waste so much time on there,
Speaker 1: and even sometimes like I'll go into my dms and like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm going to spend half an hour like getting back
Speaker 1: to you know, my community and dming people, and then
Speaker 1: it's like I'm just not wasting time. But I'm like
Speaker 1: I don't do it properly or I like go in
Speaker 1: and out of apps and it's just not productive. So
Speaker 1: I took the week off social media. It was only
Speaker 1: five days, so it was like a work week. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I don't know, I didn't miss it.
Speaker 2: That's good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I obviously it was a very busy. Wait,
Speaker 1: it was so I probably need to do it on
Speaker 1: a normal week, but I didn't feel the need even
Speaker 1: when I did have spare time or like you know
Speaker 1: at night when you're in bed. I didn't feel the
Speaker 1: need to scroll like I did notice because I deleted
Speaker 1: the app, so it went it wasn't in its usual spot. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I went to like click on it. Yes, I
Speaker 1: came going to that spot.
Speaker 2: So it was like muscle memory.
Speaker 1: Yes, And that's what I noticed. And I was like, wow.
Speaker 1: So even something that I'm now going to do is
Speaker 1: just put my app in a different spot.
Speaker 2: And move it around all the time.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And so if I actually have to go into
Speaker 1: social media, I have to like pull down the thing
Speaker 1: and search it. Yeah. And I think that has been
Speaker 1: helping too, because I've been on there way less. My
Speaker 1: screen time went down so much. Holy shit, I'm like,
Speaker 1: if I did this, I'm screened. So my screen time
Speaker 1: before this was like seven and a half hours fad.
Speaker 1: And then I've got my little notification. I think it's
Speaker 1: said like three or something. Wow. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Massive.
Speaker 1: Something I noticed I did is I wouldn't go on
Speaker 1: social media, but I'd go into my emails a lot,
Speaker 1: especially times when like you know, when you're like going
Speaker 1: to the toilet, if you're doing your morning poop, and
Speaker 1: like I would just sit and scroll on Instagram and
Speaker 1: your email, so I just like go on my emails instead,
Speaker 1: which was I just then noticed I kept doing that,
Speaker 1: so I'm.
Speaker 2: Like, maybe try and like read a book on your
Speaker 2: phone instead or something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's instead of your emails. Yeah, just reading emails,
Speaker 1: but like it's like your only.
Speaker 2: Way of staying in contact with.
Speaker 1: But it was really good. I highly recommend doing a
Speaker 1: bit of a social media detox, and it was, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it reset me and I realized I do, you know,
Speaker 1: waste a bit of time on there, And it also
Speaker 1: just made me feel really good because I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: I could live without it, yeah, which is kind of
Speaker 1: good to know because I've been on I've been on
Speaker 1: social media for a solid know, eight years now, so
Speaker 1: it feels very dependable. Which of course, I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to leave social media, but I quit.
Speaker 1: I uit no I And but in saying that, I
Speaker 1: did really miss the interaction with my community. So like
Speaker 1: there was a couple of moments I would film some
Speaker 1: videos of the move and stuff, and I kind of
Speaker 1: like missed the whole putting it up and getting people's
Speaker 1: reaction talking to people because I'm like really big of
Speaker 1: being my DMS when I can. But yeah, but it
Speaker 1: was good.
Speaker 2: That's good.
Speaker 1: Are you going to do a social media detox? I'm like, how,
Speaker 1: ye are true? Don't you have to? You're right? You
Speaker 1: can't do it?
Speaker 2: Maybe for my personal account. I used to do it
Speaker 2: every exam block in school, all throughout school, and when
Speaker 2: I first started at UNI, I would completely delete all
Speaker 2: the apps off my phone and I said to my friends,
Speaker 2: I'm like, if you need me, text me, because that's
Speaker 2: going to be the only way you can contact me.
Speaker 2: And I always found that a really good research because
Speaker 2: scrolling is such a.
Speaker 1: Big distraction to distraction, But I think.
Speaker 2: I might try that, like moving the app into a
Speaker 2: different spot, because yeah.
Speaker 1: Do that, because I think you'll even notice just the
Speaker 1: muscle memory of what I'm talking about. Yeah, and then
Speaker 1: you kind of get that, Oh do I actually need
Speaker 1: to go on social media? Am I just like being distracted? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I love that. All right, guys, let's get into Spring cleaning.
Speaker 1: So when you listen to this episode, if you are
Speaker 1: listening in real time. Spring a new month. September is
Speaker 1: just a couple of days away and so exciting. I
Speaker 1: love a new month, mean too. Accession. Me and Tea
Speaker 1: have already said we love spring. We love September starts.
Speaker 2: To get warm, the sun's out all the time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all you know, all the animals are making babies.
Speaker 1: I always love spring. It's like really sweet.
Speaker 2: I can confidently say I've never thought about my relation
Speaker 2: to spring.
Speaker 1: I don't know what I said.
Speaker 2: I don't have to pay the animal that is really cute.
Speaker 1: And we thought we'd do an episode of a whole
Speaker 1: bunch of ways that you can spring clean your life
Speaker 1: if you kind of want to jump on board, because
Speaker 1: I don't think you should just do this in spring.
Speaker 1: I think you should do this every single month. What
Speaker 1: do you think?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Absolutely, I think a lot of these can be
Speaker 2: done easily every single month, or at least every season,
Speaker 2: so every three months.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because it's so important that the more you stay
Speaker 2: on top of it, the easier it is to do.
Speaker 2: Every time you do it, the less time it takes, yes.
Speaker 1: Rather than leaving it a whole year. Yeah, And I also,
Speaker 1: like me being me, let's talk about the deeper side
Speaker 1: of this is just realizing that a new season, you
Speaker 1: can always reinvent yourself. Yes, you can always pick a
Speaker 1: new story. You can always choose to go you know what,
Speaker 1: I'm going to change something in my life or I'm
Speaker 1: going to take this step. And I think sometimes we
Speaker 1: do get in this loop of our habits or things
Speaker 1: we do that keep us in this I don't want
Speaker 1: to call it a negative loop, but it's like in
Speaker 1: the same loop. And it's just the typical you know
Speaker 1: saying of if you want something different, you have to
Speaker 1: do something different. Yes, so if you're wanting more, if
Speaker 1: you want something different, I think we need to, you know,
Speaker 1: realize that these little changes can make such a big difference. Yes, absolutely,
Speaker 1: all right, well let's get straight into it. So me
Speaker 1: and A Tier are going to tag team these. I'm
Speaker 1: going to go first. And this is obviously a very
Speaker 1: obvious one, but think about spring cleaning your space. So
Speaker 1: obviously this can be your home, your desk, your wardrobe.
Speaker 1: Physically getting rid of things or cleaning things and changing
Speaker 1: things up so they are more like you know, productive
Speaker 1: to you or high vibe for you is so important
Speaker 1: and also just like doing a clean getting rid of
Speaker 1: dirt and dust. And I if I'm in a low
Speaker 1: mood and I clean my bedroom or like fix up
Speaker 1: my closet or something like that, it completely changes things
Speaker 1: for me.
Speaker 2: Just difference.
Speaker 1: Isn't that weird?
Speaker 2: Even Like I get really happy after I vacuumed and
Speaker 2: I can like see the marks on the carpet.
Speaker 1: So weird. Yeah, it's just like carpet lines.
Speaker 2: Yeah, after you vacuumed and you know it's clean, like
Speaker 2: there's no dirt there. I actually so On the weekend,
Speaker 2: Tim and Ivy went to his cousin's house for a
Speaker 2: birthday and I was at home alone to unpack more boxes,
Speaker 2: and I vacuumed the whole house for the first time.
Speaker 1: Fuck it's a lot, I'm gonna say.
Speaker 2: I was like, I need to get one of those
Speaker 2: little robots.
Speaker 1: It just always goes. I know, yes, but yeah, it
Speaker 1: just felt so good and I just felt lighter and
Speaker 1: so productive of it. So, guys, clean your space. So
Speaker 1: maybe plan this weekend to go through your closet. I
Speaker 1: love cleaning out my closet. Do you do you do
Speaker 1: it often?
Speaker 2: I do it once every few months and I'll color
Speaker 2: cod it and see how long.
Speaker 1: It stays color coded. Yeah, like I put it in order.
Speaker 1: Oh that's yeah, you're too much from like.
Speaker 2: White to black and just all the colors in between.
Speaker 2: It's not like that right now I was.
Speaker 1: I yeah, like I enjoy that a bit crazy, but
Speaker 1: also I feel like a lot of people that would
Speaker 1: be the vibe. I actually, before the move, did a
Speaker 1: big clean out of my closet and got rid of
Speaker 1: it so much. I gave a whole heap to the
Speaker 1: work girls, and then I put a whole heap on
Speaker 1: Deep Pop too, And because also I'm I love like
Speaker 1: recycling clothes me too, don't you think it's I don't know,
Speaker 1: it's such a joy thinking I can wear something and
Speaker 1: feel really good and go to an event and feel
Speaker 1: like yeah good, and then some one else can wear
Speaker 1: it exactly. I don't know. Is that weird?
Speaker 2: No, I love it. I even like, I don't buy
Speaker 2: clothes secondhand as much as I'd like to, but even
Speaker 2: just bags and stuff secondhand. Yeah, so nice.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's probably it for cleaning your space.
Speaker 2: My one is clean up your relationships. Oh yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: look at the friendship.
Speaker 1: You just see me like getting rid of to you
Speaker 1: it all?
Speaker 2: Goodbye bye. Bitch, I don't need you these three months.
Speaker 2: Look at the friendships and the relationships you currently have
Speaker 2: in your life, and are they energizing you or are
Speaker 2: they draining you? And I think that's sort of something
Speaker 2: that means a lot to me, whether my friends energize
Speaker 2: me or drain me. And obviously there's not going to
Speaker 2: be a person that energizes you every single time, but
Speaker 2: just the majority of the time, and also the amount
Speaker 2: of energy it takes from you to maintain that relationship
Speaker 2: and if it's worth that exchange or not.
Speaker 1: So what do you do if you're like, Wow, this
Speaker 1: person is not energizing me.
Speaker 2: Slow fade.
Speaker 1: It's so brutal. I love it. I do a slow
Speaker 1: fade because you never know tell us more so.
Speaker 2: I never like, I hate telling someone that I don't
Speaker 2: want to be friends with them anymore, because I think
Speaker 2: it's a bit harsh. Unless ever done that, I've had
Speaker 2: it done to me.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, what did they say? Like, what were
Speaker 1: the words?
Speaker 2: Oh? This was ages ago now, but they like just
Speaker 2: completely ghosted me. And then when I went to confront
Speaker 2: them about it, they were just like, I don't think
Speaker 2: you deserve an explanation. I don't want to be your
Speaker 2: friend anymore.
Speaker 1: What did you do?
Speaker 2: I don't know. I never found out.
Speaker 1: You obviously did something. Why would someone respond that way?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Or you've maybe like really triggered something.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I could have triggered something. I don't but like,
Speaker 2: obviously it just wasn't right for them and they didn't
Speaker 2: feel like explaining it.
Speaker 1: Oh, it's really funny. I'm so like so brutal it was.
Speaker 2: But I am very big on like not ever shutting
Speaker 2: a relationship completely because you don't know. Everyone has ebbs
Speaker 2: and flows and maybe one day they'll change or grow,
Speaker 2: or you'll change and grow in a different way, and
Speaker 2: you'll meet once again and you'll get along. So I
Speaker 2: would never tell someone I don't want to be friends
Speaker 2: with them. I'd probably just like not text them as much,
Speaker 2: or if their message pops up, it's not a priority
Speaker 2: to reply to you kind.
Speaker 1: Of thing, Yeah, kind of make them realize they're not
Speaker 1: a priority.
Speaker 2: Yeah, a bit subtly, Yeah, subtly subtly, or like if
Speaker 2: they wanted to hang out, I'm not gonna make the
Speaker 2: effort to rearrange things, but if I have time in
Speaker 2: my schedule, i'd be like I'm free on this day
Speaker 2: kind of thing.
Speaker 1: For example, though, if they kind of get the vibe
Speaker 1: and they say to you, hey, I can see you
Speaker 1: being a bit distant, what's wrong? Would you actually go
Speaker 1: I'd just be like, I'm busy, So you wouldn't be
Speaker 1: honest with them.
Speaker 2: Well, it depends how how strong I'm feeling it. Like,
Speaker 2: if it's just like, oh, I'm just not really vibing
Speaker 2: at the moment, I just need some space, I'd say that.
Speaker 2: But if it's like there's something wrong with them or
Speaker 2: something they're doing that's triggered me to feel that way,
Speaker 2: then I'd just say it yeah, yeah, okay.
Speaker 1: No, that's probably how I do it. Love. Next on guys,
Speaker 1: clean up your finances. So I'm really big on being
Speaker 1: like super intimate with your finances, are you yes? And no?
Speaker 1: Tell me more.
Speaker 2: I don't like to fixate it it on it too
Speaker 2: much because sometimes I feel.
Speaker 1: Like if I get.
Speaker 2: Too fixated on dollars obsessive, I get obsessive and then
Speaker 2: I'm so concerned about every single dollar, it feels like
Speaker 2: there's not as much there and.
Speaker 1: You get into like a lack mentality.
Speaker 2: Yeah, whereas if I'm not as like, I like to
Speaker 2: know when my money's going as a whole, but I'm
Speaker 2: not gonna worry. Like, if you ask me how much
Speaker 2: my gym membership is, I'll say I'm about twenty five dollars,
Speaker 2: Like I'm not gonna know it's specific nine cents for example.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm with you. I'm very similar. Actually yeah,
Speaker 1: but i'd still say that's like as long as you're
Speaker 1: intimate in regards to you know what you're spending your
Speaker 1: money on. Oh, absolutely, And I think a big thing
Speaker 1: with finances is go through your subscriptions, go through your
Speaker 1: subscriptions and being like, hey, do I need these five
Speaker 1: streaming services? I'm so bad.
Speaker 2: It was actually on the list Plane Cavan, I'm subscribing.
Speaker 1: We'll still get into that. Yeah, for example, subscriptions like
Speaker 1: are you watching all the streaming services? Can you get
Speaker 1: rid of one focus on the other. I can't remember
Speaker 1: who it was. Someone on Instagram was like what she
Speaker 1: does with streaming services is she just has like one
Speaker 1: a month and she will so clever really kind of
Speaker 1: just be like I can only watch TV from this
Speaker 1: specific one and she loves it because she like watches
Speaker 1: different stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not like that.
Speaker 1: I'm like, if I want to watch something, I need
Speaker 1: to watch it like this second.
Speaker 2: Yeah, which is so fair.
Speaker 1: It feels very like you have every right. It's like
Speaker 1: sacred to me. But yeah, so go through subscriptions and
Speaker 1: just have a look. You know, maybe you're spending a
Speaker 1: little bit too much money on Uber reats or or
Speaker 1: things where Uber eats is a big thing for me
Speaker 1: right now, and I'm like, I just want to cook
Speaker 1: more at home, bit like enjoy it. Like we do
Speaker 1: a hallow fresh, which is amazing because it makes us like,
Speaker 1: you know, dinner at home, but we're just so bad
Speaker 1: on the weekends. Weekends is like a free for all
Speaker 1: for us, and we do not step forward into the
Speaker 1: kitchen unless it's like opening up Uber eats. And I
Speaker 1: like said to Tim, I was like, oh, I just
Speaker 1: I want to get better at that. And you know,
Speaker 1: I had to look at her finances and be like yeah,
Speaker 1: and it's not so much about the money, but I'm like,
Speaker 1: I think that shows that like that is then a
Speaker 1: reflection of me as a person.
Speaker 2: Your priorities.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I'm like, I want to focus on our health.
Speaker 1: I want to focus on enjoying our house and like
Speaker 1: enjoying cooking because a big this is going off on
Speaker 1: a tangent, but a big thing is I need to
Speaker 1: bring back in like hobbies into my life. And cooking
Speaker 1: used to be one of my favorite hobbies.
Speaker 2: Oh that's nice.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm like, I love baking and cooking, but I
Speaker 1: just like, I haven't done it in years. I used
Speaker 1: to have a cookbook, for example. Oh like an ebook.
Speaker 1: Oh that's like cool, Well I still have it, but like,
Speaker 1: you know, to the point where I b I was
Speaker 1: like such a big because I loved cooking so much
Speaker 1: and I just don't do it anymore. And I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to bring that back anyway. Go through your
Speaker 1: finances and not just on a you know, perspective of
Speaker 1: a nonrmal amount, but also energetically, does this feel good
Speaker 1: to me that I'm spending my money on this? On that?
Speaker 1: And see, you know, see if you want to change
Speaker 1: anything up.
Speaker 2: My tip for that as well is if people, if
Speaker 2: you're not someone that necessarily tracks on a spreadsheet where
Speaker 2: you spend your money, a lot of the bank apps
Speaker 2: now will just show you yes. So I think almost
Speaker 2: all of them because I switched to up bank because
Speaker 2: it did that, but now all my banks do that. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so you just have to find where in the app
Speaker 2: that they show your insights.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it does like a budget thing for you.
Speaker 2: Hey, and then it'll just say like food blah blah
Speaker 2: blah blah, clothes online. Yeah, yeah, quite good.
Speaker 1: Love.
Speaker 2: Next tip is to clean up your schedule. I actually
Speaker 2: really love this one. One thing I would say is
Speaker 2: try and set targets on how much free time you
Speaker 2: want in a week and make sure that that's something
Speaker 2: you stick to, because my Mum's always said to me, like,
Speaker 2: you need to schedule in your free time and make
Speaker 2: sure you hold yourself to it. If you want to
Speaker 2: have self care Sunday every Sunday from four pm to
Speaker 2: six pm, don't do a Sunday dinner and hold to that.
Speaker 1: Don't do a Sunday session, don't do a Sunday set,
Speaker 1: don't go to all wedding on a Sunday. Set your limits.
Speaker 2: Is there anything that you know you've canted to already
Speaker 2: in advance for this month that's going to start getting
Speaker 2: too much? Can you pull back on that or push
Speaker 2: dates and shift things to make it work for you.
Speaker 2: And also another thing I've seen a few people do
Speaker 2: is just set like a limit of how many times
Speaker 2: they let themselves go out a week, which can help
Speaker 2: with like your time and your finances kind of thing.
Speaker 2: So they allow themselves to catch ups per week with friends.
Speaker 2: One needs to be one can be a meal, but
Speaker 2: another one needs to be an activity kind of thing,
Speaker 2: or one needs to be outside a walk or outside. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so cleaning up your schedule that way.
Speaker 1: I love that. And also something that I'm trying to
Speaker 1: do when you said about the free time is because
Speaker 1: every single month, I plan my calendar a month ahead
Speaker 1: in regards to things like my partnership. So me and
Speaker 1: my partnership's manager sit down and we put in, you know,
Speaker 1: when I'm doing posts for other companies, when I want to,
Speaker 1: you know, put some content in for Naked Harvest or
Speaker 1: R and C. And I will like plan that, and
Speaker 1: then I'll also put in and you know, doing stuff
Speaker 1: on the weekend. Or something I did on the weekend
Speaker 1: is I went ahead and like booked my massages for
Speaker 1: like the next like three months because I wanted to
Speaker 1: get a massage. And my massage lady's always a bit
Speaker 1: built down. I've got to be a bit far advance.
Speaker 1: But you know, I try and get a message at
Speaker 1: least once a month, So I booked that in ahead
Speaker 1: of time, and like books that timing because I'm like,
Speaker 1: I need to prioritize that because as we all know,
Speaker 1: my love language is touched and me and my messuse
Speaker 1: have a great really but yeah, booking and free time,
Speaker 1: and also I love like I use Google Calendar and
Speaker 1: I will pop in everything from work till you know,
Speaker 1: weekend events and everything, and I color code everything, so
Speaker 1: I then look at the month as a whole because
Speaker 1: you can look at like day week, month here, yeah,
Speaker 1: and it shows me all the colors and I can
Speaker 1: kind of see, aw, it's really work heavy or it's
Speaker 1: really you know, this heavy, and I can rearrange and
Speaker 1: I'll often then call my partnerships manager and be like, hey,
Speaker 1: can we shuffle things around? Can we move this to
Speaker 1: the next month. And I can get a gist from that,
Speaker 1: And I feel like I've been really good with yeah,
Speaker 1: boundaries and prioritizing, you know, the important stuff, rather than
Speaker 1: just leaving it to that week and being like, oh fuck,
Speaker 1: I have so much on this week. I should have
Speaker 1: over committed.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I love that. I love the color coating tip.
Speaker 2: That's so clever.
Speaker 1: Okay, guys. So the next one is clean up your tech.
Speaker 1: So physically wipe down your tech.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like when was the last time I wipe.
Speaker 1: I'm kind of looking at my screen on my laptop
Speaker 1: and I'm like, wow, this is disgusting. So physically like
Speaker 1: wipe down your phone, your laptop. TV tears got to
Speaker 1: write down. Wipe down a horror podcast quick. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: not gonna bit dusty, isn't it grossity? But then also
Speaker 1: go internally clean up your tech, so delete old apps again,
Speaker 1: any like subscription apps, and just go through it. And
Speaker 1: you know, you could go that step further and prioritize
Speaker 1: your apps in your phone so they're like more convenient.
Speaker 1: I know, there's like a whole way of doing it.
Speaker 1: I've seen it on Pinterest. I personally don't do that.
Speaker 1: I haven't eil my mom has done it. Oh she's
Speaker 1: done the whole Have you seen that the meme where
Speaker 1: it's like I am like she writes in the little
Speaker 1: pocket like I am productive, and then it's all her
Speaker 1: apps about like the calendar and stuff though I am
Speaker 1: social and it's all.
Speaker 2: Her social media like little affimating.
Speaker 1: It's really sweet. So clean up you know, your tech
Speaker 1: physically and then internally.
Speaker 2: And I think if you're someone like me that just
Speaker 2: takes heaps of screenshots on your computer to send too
Speaker 2: people of items, get rid of those and then it
Speaker 2: sits on your desktop. Oh yeah, Like.
Speaker 1: I do that all the time. So I literally just
Speaker 1: shadow the whole screen and just delete it.
Speaker 2: Oh I just don't even go through it. Just assume
Speaker 2: I don't know what I do. I just make a
Speaker 2: political desktop too clean and.
Speaker 1: Then just never go on fold. Well, I know like
Speaker 1: I would do that. I'll just delete it, like who guess.
Speaker 1: I always think if I need something somewhere else, or
Speaker 1: I'll get a tea to make it in camp.
Speaker 2: I love that number six. We didn't touch on it earlier,
Speaker 2: but clean up your wardrobe. One thing I do at
Speaker 2: the end of winter is like any puffy jackets I
Speaker 2: have that takes up a lot of space, I fold
Speaker 2: them up and put them at the top of my
Speaker 2: cupboard because I don't need them hanging there anymore. So
Speaker 2: I try to clean up my hanging space in that
Speaker 2: sense of get rid of the things I'm probably not
Speaker 2: going to be reaching for as often.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just on that a tear. So going back to
Speaker 1: the clothes thing, somethink I do when I'm you know,
Speaker 1: throwing all recycling clothes, I think, have I worn this
Speaker 1: in the last three months? And it's like if I haven't,
Speaker 1: does it need to go into my winter cupboard because
Speaker 1: I have a whole bunch of boxes that it's like
Speaker 1: my winter wardrobe. Yeah, so let's like, do I need
Speaker 1: to put it into, you know, the summer a winter
Speaker 1: wardrobe or am I kind of holding onto something that
Speaker 1: isn't serving me or like I don't really like but
Speaker 1: I'm just keeping because I bought it or it doesn't fit. Yes,
Speaker 1: oh my god.
Speaker 2: A lot of goals and don't fit.
Speaker 1: This is the bane of my existence right now being
Speaker 1: postpartum is I'm so in between sizes in my closet.
Speaker 1: I have size eight to size twelve from obviously pregnancy
Speaker 1: and everything. And I would say at the moment, I.
Speaker 2: Feel like after COVID most people might have a pretty
Speaker 2: large size rate because I know I do. It just
Speaker 2: varies very much.
Speaker 1: And then also, you know how you have different sizes
Speaker 1: and likenk you know, different sorts of labels and stuff.
Speaker 1: So the other day I will before my move. I
Speaker 1: did that where I was like, if it doesn't fit
Speaker 1: right now, I'm like getting rid of it, and there's
Speaker 1: no way I'm keeping it to be like, oh, I
Speaker 1: might fit this in two months time when I'm you know,
Speaker 1: back to my old body POSTPARTU and I'm like, fuck that.
Speaker 1: Look if it hasn't happened in nine months, we need
Speaker 1: to do a whole episode on postpart on body. Because
Speaker 1: it's just so wild to me that my in my head,
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, by nine months time, I should
Speaker 1: be back to my like pre baking body. It's just
Speaker 1: not the case. And I also just don't think my
Speaker 1: body will ever be the same. Yeah, and like coming, well,
Speaker 1: you're a human, I know, I know, but I think
Speaker 1: it's like the weird mentally, That's what I thought, And
Speaker 1: I'm like coming to terms with it, and I just
Speaker 1: kind of wish more people just spoke about it. Put
Speaker 1: that on the list and yeah, so guys like donating obviously,
Speaker 1: and your clothes you don't wear, or if I can
Speaker 1: selling them a marketplace, yeah, or deep hop guys, I
Speaker 1: actually have a deep pop and it's linked in my
Speaker 1: bio if you if you want to buy some a
Speaker 1: daughter's clothe Yeah, okay, next one have an subscribing session.
Speaker 1: So we're already touched on financially going through you know,
Speaker 1: your paid subscriptions, but big thing is going through your
Speaker 1: email subscriptions. It's such a time way. So toya. Well,
Speaker 1: I actually.
Speaker 2: I saw this on Instagram. I haven't done it yet,
Speaker 2: and I haven't tried this website yet, so I can't
Speaker 2: confirm if it's as easy as it looked in the
Speaker 2: real But there's a website called unroll me dot com
Speaker 2: and you basically link it up to your email and
Speaker 2: it brings up all your subscriptions and you just click unsubscribe, unsubscribe, unsubscribe.
Speaker 1: I need this. Yeah, we're going to do this.
Speaker 2: We'll does it out and let you guys know.
Speaker 1: I actually did this thing. So with my Google calendar,
Speaker 1: I used to have it in the setting where it
Speaker 1: would organize not the Google calendar, sorry, my Gmail. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so it would organize basically the emails it thinks I
Speaker 1: want to see, So in my inbox I would only
Speaker 1: have like non spam emails at the top.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: But then what I didn't realize is like all my
Speaker 1: subscribing stuff was just going to like this other random
Speaker 1: folder that also included like other emails that were actually
Speaker 1: important but like Gmail, yeah, Gmail just thought they were.
Speaker 1: So I had now changed the setting where I get
Speaker 1: all emails, and I'm like, fuck, I'm subscribed to so
Speaker 1: many so much like so many websites that I'm like,
Speaker 1: how did they even get my email?
Speaker 2: I still have an email from when I was fourteen,
Speaker 2: and thematic yeah, I get to there is just like insane.
Speaker 2: I actually moved gmails just because it was too much
Speaker 2: and I couldn't even deal with it.
Speaker 1: So I just created a whole new Gmail.
Speaker 2: I do that too for my present.
Speaker 1: Is that you have to sometimes go back into.
Speaker 2: It because there's important stuff that So I have six emails, yeah,
Speaker 2: and they just progressively have low spam. I know.
Speaker 1: We need to get our live together, so and I
Speaker 1: think this is the big thing though, like you said,
Speaker 1: if we just do a little bit now, it won't
Speaker 1: get to the point where you have to create a
Speaker 1: whole new email. I want to lead everything on our desk,
Speaker 1: so makes you guys check out that unroll me. I'm
Speaker 1: going to check it out and I'll come back on
Speaker 1: the podcast and let you know if it's a recommendation
Speaker 1: or if it's like a spam, it gives me a
Speaker 1: virus thanks to tea. Next one, last lunky last.
Speaker 2: Tip is to create a new mood board or redo
Speaker 2: your vision board for the next few months. How do
Speaker 2: you actually want to end the year? How do you
Speaker 2: want to go into next year? Feeling? I feel like
Speaker 2: I really like September as well, because you're like three
Speaker 2: months from New Year, so you're starting to already get
Speaker 2: that like little bit of excitement.
Speaker 1: Yes, I actually did this the other day, Did you
Speaker 1: redid my goals? And the title was the end of
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two? And yeah, I went through personal health
Speaker 1: business and did them all. It's just such a vibe.
Speaker 1: I love writing them. I love writing goals and just
Speaker 1: like and something I did is I wrote, like my
Speaker 1: goals and then under it the feeling. Oh so the
Speaker 1: feeling I'm trying to attract because maybe it's not those
Speaker 1: specific goals that I will achieve, but like, as long
Speaker 1: as I'm achieving the feeling.
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yes, I think. Also what's good about that
Speaker 1: is like sitting down, having like a Sunday to yourself
Speaker 1: or some time on the weekend, sitting down and being
Speaker 1: like Yeah, what do I want to achieve by the
Speaker 1: end of the year or what's the intention? Because I
Speaker 1: think a big thing is realizing that the end of
Speaker 1: the year is so chaotic with Christmas and New Years
Speaker 1: and holidays, and it's about to get pretty hectic. So
Speaker 1: maybe use this time to get super clear on how
Speaker 1: you want to feel, and you know, big thing of
Speaker 1: like make sure you're clear on what you're prioritizing so
Speaker 1: the year doesn't just kind of like disappear.
Speaker 2: Yeah, one hundred And I think the other thing I
Speaker 2: normally start doing in September as well is book your
Speaker 2: appointments in yes, like your hair appointments, Yeah, book your
Speaker 2: hair appointments, book your n ail appointments, book all the book,
Speaker 2: all things, so that that's there because the end of
Speaker 2: the year, like you said, just spirals out of control,
Speaker 2: and if you don't have it booked, either they're not
Speaker 2: gonna have the time available or you're gonna move it
Speaker 2: around too much. And but it just needs to be
Speaker 2: like set, and that needs to be like your you
Speaker 2: time and your priority.
Speaker 1: In Yeah, that's actually such a great tip of like
Speaker 1: booking your beauty appointments. My my hairdresser literally messaged me
Speaker 1: the other day was like, oh, if you want a
Speaker 1: book in before Christmas, like let me know, because with
Speaker 1: like boo At the time, I was like fuck. That
Speaker 1: overwhelms me though, because I when I book stuff in advance,
Speaker 1: I feel very like what, you know, what what if
Speaker 1: I can't make it at the time.
Speaker 2: Used to be like that too, but now I'm like,
Speaker 2: I can schedule around it because it's already there.
Speaker 1: That's such a yeah.
Speaker 2: Guys.
Speaker 1: Note, I just want to say thank you for dealing
Speaker 1: with Foggy Georgia. But she wanted to get this episode

Speaker 1: bought the project literally I think round two, and didn't
Speaker 1: get into it. She said, I started week one and
Speaker 1: then you know, some family stuff happened, and then she
Speaker 1: recently just finished it and she's like it came back
Speaker 1: to me at the perfect time and she's finding love
Speaker 1: that so high vibe and so good. So all of
Speaker 1: all I wanted to say is, do not stress. Or
Speaker 1: feel like a failure or anything like that. If you like,
