00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: when we go to the Mullumbie Me farmer's market, we

14
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: listen to it and check that I don't sound like

00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: other stage too, so I hope you're having a great day.

18
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: I thought this week i'd check in a little bit.

19
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,559
Speaker 1: I've been in Sydney at the start of the week

20
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: doing the cover shoot for the next book, so I

21
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: thought I might share with you a little bit of

22
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: my prep going into the book shoot, because I noticed

23
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,479
Speaker 1: looking back that I definitely changed the way I moved

24
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: a little bit, the way I chose to nourish myself.

25
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: And I had these two other little things that I

26
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: did a lot more in the lead up to the

27
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 1: cover shoot in that last kind of like two weeks,

28
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: and I thought I'd love to know what goes into

29
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,199
Speaker 1: behind the scenes of feeling really confident for a cover

30
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: shoot that doesn't involve crash dieting, so it's kind of

31
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: like a really holistic guide to just feeling honoring your

32
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: health but feeling really great and confident. So I thought

33
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: I might touch on that one a little bit.

34
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 2: Today.

35
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: I also want to do a pledge with you that

36
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: I want to start am on the Friday episode.

37
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 2: A Byron book Club.

38
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: So it's only called Byron book Club because I'm Byron

39
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: while I read, but I want to read a book

40
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: a week at the moment, so currently I'm reading Make

41
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: It Happen by Jordana Levine.

42
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 2: Also next week I'll probably.

43
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,239
Speaker 1: Read Higher Love of Hers because I really want to

44
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: get her on the podcast. I'm kind of researching her

45
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: right now, but please dare me and let me know

46
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: if there's any authors you'd like on the podcast because

Speaker 1: I can.

48

Speaker 2: Read their book and then interview them. So yes.

52
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: awesome humans. That's probably why we're also heading to Gaia

53
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: next week, so I will be doing the Byron Life

54

55
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 2: I digress.

56
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,839
Speaker 1: Let's focus on today's pod, So I decid i'd share

57
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: with you some of the things I've done in Byron

58
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: in the lead up to the photo shoot that are

59
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: great if you want to come to Byron and have

60
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: a really healthy time when you hear so. One thing

61
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: that I did is I made sure that it morning

62
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: daily yoga practice. As you know I've practiced at Creature Yoga.

63
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:12,519
Speaker 1: It's really cool. It's quite spiritual, and they always acknowledge

64
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: their original landowners and custodians of the land, which is

65
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: really beautiful. In nearly every class I've ever been to

66
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: at Creature Yoga, my wonderful friend Duncan of of Yoga

67
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 1: is also teaching out Body Mind Life, so I did

68
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 1: check out Bodymind Life for the first time.

69
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 2: This week.

70
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: I went to his class and it was so wonderful

71
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: to practice with him in person when I've been doing

72
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: all his classes online this whole time.

73
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 2: So I caught up with him.

74
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: We had a coffee at Coombe after and yeah, Body

75
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: Mind Life is absolutely beautiful. I was in the yoga room,

76
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: but they've got pilates as well. Looks like lots of

77
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: big things are happening in that space, but it's really beautiful, crisp, clean,

78
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: feels like there's a lot of like energetically, a lot

79
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: of space to kind of like do your thing.

80
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 2: It was really nice.

81
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: I ran into a few old Sydney yogi's there, which

82
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: was cool from when I lived in Sids.

83
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 2: So yes, yoga I up.

84
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: So I noticed that like if I started my day

85
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: with yoga, because as you know, I love a lighthouse

86
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: walk in the morning, but I actually didn't do that.

87
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: I was like, I just started my day with yoga

88
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 1: because it mentally kept me grounded if I was stressing out,

89
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: so I'd do morning yoga and then if I felt

90
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: like it had the energy. I'd do an afternoon lighthouse,

91
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 1: whether it be a jog, a walk, whatever, whatever I

92
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 1: felt like my body needed, and then obviously I wouldn't

93
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 1: as well. And then another thing that bust and I

94
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: started to like really pepper in and increase in the

95
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: lead up to the bookshoot was like on a Sunday,

96
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: we always swim like we just like dunk ourselves in

97
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: the water, even if it's just like for fifteen minutes

98
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 1: and just kind of like get salt, really really salty,

99
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: and just kind of like let that medicinal mother nature

100
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: ocean do the thing on us. And in lay up

101
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: to the shoot, it became more of a non negotiable.

102
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 1: So probably in that last week letting up to the shot,

103
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: I probably did three ocean dunks, which is really good

104
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 1: and another element that I've been wanting to try for

105
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: ages and I hadn't. As you know, when I lived

106
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: in Melbourne, I was a massive sauna girl, so it

107
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: was really nice. I checked out Tribe up here, which

108
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: is right near Roadhouse, which is like an iconic cafe

109
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: here in Byron, and it's basically just behind Roadhouse and

110
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: it's called Tribe. Tryb and thank you Ruby if you

111
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 1: ever listened to this for she gifted me that. She

112
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: was like, just come in and try it, and it

113
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: was really good. Like when you go into the sauna,

114
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 1: it's all hooked up to your bluetooth, so like I

115
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 1: just listened to a podcast and chilled out, but that

116
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 1: I really enjoyed doing that. The day before I flew

117
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 1: to Sydney. That felt like a really nice kind of

118
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: like detoxifying, get rid of any like inflammation, kind of

119
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: like trick that I hadn't done since Melbourne. So I

120
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: feel like my body responded pretty nicely that. And then

121
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 1: we kind of we don't have a nice bath here,

122
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: but our mate's doing there away, and so straight after

123
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: the sauna we just dunked straight in the ocean again.

124
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 1: So it was nice to get that kind of like hot,

125
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: hot sauna and then the coolness of the ocean, which

126
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 1: was really cool.

127
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 2: So I just.

128
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: They're kind of the things I did physically and I

129
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: incorporated them.

130
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 2: I made sure daily I was doing at least one

131
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 2: of those elements.

132
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: So whether it be Yog's first thing, whether it be

133
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 1: a walk in the rvo or I did the sauna,

134
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,919
Speaker 1: or an ocean swim like I would rotate all my

135
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 1: afternoon things around to just like be really really nourishing,

136
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 1: and then food prep wise, I got really ahead and

137
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: I would make like dinner, so I do like chicken

138
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: with I'd just roast broccoli, zucchini and kale, and I'd

139
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 1: make enough for that dinner to then be lunched the

140
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: next day. So it was really cool, like I got

141
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: into this nice little routine of just like always having

142
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: my bake greens.

143
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 2: And then my protein.

144
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: And then at in the evening, like if I felt

145
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: like I needed something more, which I always but like

146
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: something more dense or something that's had a bit more

147
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: fat in it, I always go for salmon eggs, throwing

148
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: the avocado. And then if I never had a prep

149
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: kind of like prep meal ready, it would.

150
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 2: Always be tuna salad.

151
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: I get the serena tuna and olive oil and then

152
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: I'd just make like a really nice big chop salad avocado,

153
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: get the fats really really high because I just wanted

154
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: my skin to be super clear. And I had a

155
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: bit of breakout because I've been traveling so much the

156
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: week before in Melbourne, so I yeah, and I just

157
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: tried to think really high fat, high mount of protein

158
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: and loads of veggies, and I let like the car

159
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: be of veggies, I just pulled out the last couple

160
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: of days, like sweet chato, pulled back, pump and pulled back.

161
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: I eat that stuff all the time, by the way,

162
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: but just the last couple of days I kind of

163
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: let them pull back a bit and went harder on fats,

164
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: proteins and like less carby veggies like broccoli, cauliflowers, zook,

165
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: kale collards. I went and I always had kale chips

166
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: on the go, Like I just always would just buy

167
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: a massive bunch of kale or tuscan black cabbage or cavloniro,

168
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: whatever I could find in that kind of kalish family.

169
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: I'd always just chop it up olive oil, and I

170
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: put this stuff on it called aristoto, which is Matt

171
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: calls it wog spice, but it hits an Italian and

172
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: kind of seasoning spice salt mix. Put that on it,

173
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: and then I'd just bake it and it'd be a

174
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: really yummy addition to whatever I was having. And because

175
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 1: it was like crunchy like chippy, it felt like it

176
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: was satiating me a bit. And if I was craving

177
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,559
Speaker 1: any sugars. My trick for that was berries, so I

178
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: kept heaps of berries in, but I kind of like

179
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: the higher carb things like especially that last few days,

180
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: like bananas and whatnot, that I kind of pushed them

181
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 1: to the side a little bit. Again, I want to

182
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: be really clear, I definitely do have those things in

183
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: my diet in abundance just for regular health. But because

184
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: these shots were like up close, really really up close

185
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: of my face, I didn't want to be holding any information.

186
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: And my body holds fluid and it reacts so quickly

187
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: to food, so I naturally have a diet that is

188
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: free of dairy, gluten and refined sugar, so that keeps

189
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: it pretty much at bay. But if I go too

190
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: heavy on like bananas or macadamias, I usually know about

191
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 1: it and I feel a little bit puffy. The other

192
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 1: thing that I did pull out for about I want

193
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: to say four weeks, but maybe it was three in

194
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: the lead up was booze. I didn't have a drop

195
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: of booze for at least three weeks into the lead.

196
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 2: Up of the shoot.

197
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: I had my first sip of wine last night, and

198
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 1: it was really nice, and I'd forgotten how much i'd

199
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: missed it. So I think Boss and I are hoping

200
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 1: over the next few days to get to raise and

201
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 1: do a little salbratory dinner and Martini. You probably, if

202
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:01,719
Speaker 1: you've been listening to this, will know that Martini is

203
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: in my fave over the next few days at the

204
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: raz bar, that's way hoping for. But it's beautiful weather,

205
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: sort'll be really really hard to get him. So yeah,

206
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: I just want to let you know kind of like

207
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: the little changes that I kind of implemented in the

208
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: lead up to the shoot, because I don't think people

209
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 1: talk about it, and it's not about like skinny life

210
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: or dieting. It's just about really smart choices. It's really

211
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: important that you don't skip, you know, like eat one

212
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: thing and then like get really hungry and just like

213
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: starve yourself.

214
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 2: Like it's not about that.

215
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: It's just about having really really smart choices on the go,

216
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,839
Speaker 1: always having abbot, always having berries, always having a tin

217
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: of oil tuner at the ready, having these things so

218
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: that when you get really hungry, it's all ready to

219
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: go for you and you're less inclined to eat than

220
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 1: not so healthy food, if that makes sense. So yeah,

221
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 1: I really want to be open and share that because

222
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: I've always been someone that's extremely diaced in the lead

223
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: up to shoots always, but I did this one. I

224
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: just went like uber health NERD, very different to what

225
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: I've done in the past, and I felt so much clearer.

226
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 1: I had good energy on the shoot. I felt confident,

227
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:12,079
Speaker 1: I felt happy on the shoot. I wasn't second guessing myself.

228
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: I also have a therapist. Now it's probably got a

229
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,959
Speaker 1: huge reason why I walked into that feeling a lot

230
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,359
Speaker 1: more confident within myself.

231
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,559
Speaker 2: But yeah, that was kind of like my little.

232
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: Roadmap to feeling really confident on shoot day and not

233
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: really worrying.

234
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 2: Too much about oh, like, am I gonna stuff it up?

235
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,199
Speaker 1: And I also got my hair lobbed off a week before,

236
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: so that was kind of fun to I flew to Melbourne,

237
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: went to Frank, my fave, and he just.

238
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 2: Lobbed it off.

239
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: And then for the cover shoot, I was really lucky

240
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: my dear friend Max May, who has actually I've done

241
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: a podcast interview with him. If you go back and

242
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 1: search Max May, He's absolutely wonderful. But hitting my makeup

243
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: on the day of the cover shoot, and like having

244
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,439
Speaker 1: a friend that makes you feel so confident and you're

245
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: hearing the podcast that I did with him. He's all

246
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: about empowering women to feel like strong and powerful, and

247
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 1: he's like totally your cheerleader when you're on the shoot,

248
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: like was hacking me up, making me laugh and totally

249
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 1: have my back. So if you randomly hear this, Max,

250
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: thank you so so much. And the wonderful photographer Peter,

251
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,319
Speaker 1: you ever hear it one day, you were absolutely dreamed

252
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: to everything because because remember when you're walk into a shoot,

253
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 1: you haven't always met the team, and I hadn't met

254
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: the photographer before, so I was really lucky. It was

255
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: just like the alchemy of the team came together so well,

256
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 1: and as a result, I felt so relaxed and calm

257
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: and confident in the moment. So hopefully it shows on

258
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: the book cover. The book isn't out for a little while.

259
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 1: We'll be out this year, but yeah, you have to

260
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: shoot a cover quite in advance of it coming out.

261
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 1: At the moment, we're actually in the middle of editing,

262
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 1: so I've been working my editor Alex for probably the

263
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: last three weeks now and just kind of like going

264
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 1: back and forth and adding things to the manuscript and

265
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 1: taking them away and it's been really really nice and

266
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: she's like a total legend. So yeah, oh I just

267
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: touched the mic accidentally.

268
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 2: That's no good. There you go. That's Byron Life update.

269
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: So the new addition is to Byron that I've just

270
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: discovered as the yoga school body of mine life, well

271
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 1: yoga and palats and then and Duncan have yoga teachers there,

272
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: so that was really exciting. And then I don't think

273
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,559
Speaker 1: I've mentioned Coombe to you before, but I went there

274
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: and had a delicious coffee there, and in the past

275
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 1: I've had a bulletproof coffee there which was really good,

276
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 1: and I've had an asai bowl there as well, which

277
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 1: was really good. But I still to this day regret

278
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: that I didn't get it with peanut butter. And anybody

279
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: that knows me will know that my favorite asai bowl

280
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,839
Speaker 1: is from Top Shop because they give it to you

281
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: with macadamia butter. And I'm already dreaming about next week

282
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: at Gaya because they bring out Brecky every day, but

283
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: they also have a little buffet and I always Matt's like,

284
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:58,959
Speaker 1: you need to control yourself on the macadami, but I

285
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: always get the gluten free bread and I toast it

286
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: and then I put a layer of macedamia butter, and

287
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 1: then I put some jam on top, and then I

288
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: thinly sliced strawberries and I make this like indulgent, delicious breakfast,

289
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 1: and then they serve you breakfast, so I literally go

290
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: ham but it's a lot of It's so nourishing and.

291
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 2: Delicious.

292
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: So they do the best muffins I've ever had in

293
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 1: my entire entire life. And when we did Greg's podcast,

294
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: Greg had bought some muffins down for us and they

295
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: were like mixed berry, so they all gluten free, dairy free, refined,

296
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: sugar free, and this was mixed berry, dark chocolate and macedamia.

297
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: And then after the podcast, I feel like I might

298
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: have spoken with you know, they invited us up to

299
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 1: have lunch and after lunch and it was delicious, like

300
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 1: this beautiful prawn green curry. And after lunch, they're like, oh,

301
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: would you like a muffin fittisert, And I literally played

302
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: dumb like I hadn't had one. I was like, oh,

303
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: tell me about the flavor, and then boss and I ye,

304
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: I got double muffins that day.

305
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 2: And that's what you.

306
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: Know, like is so beautiful about eating there, because you

307
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: do feel like you're totally satiated from a sweet, savory

308
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: craving thing. But it's so clean and it's so it's

309
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: really honest ingredients that my body just like loves it,

310
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: and so does Matt's. He's like, he's like my digestive system.

311
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: Everything is like the way I sleep when I'm here.

312
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 1: He feels great. So we are pumped. We're actually trying.

313
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: I don't know, tell me if you do this as well,

314
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: but if you know you're going to be away for

315
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: a few days and kind of go on a little holiday,

316
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: Boss and I are like working so hard because I'm like,

317
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: I just really am so pumped to switch off for

318
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: a few days that guy.

319
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 2: And Boss is like, oh no, I'll have to dash

320
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 2: home each day.

321
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: So who knows because we've got obviously Lola coffee here

322
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 1: now my foot is slipping underneath something under the mic,

323
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: and we've got lot of coffee jars that are officially

324
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: available now. So the difference is in the boxes. They

325
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 1: come in the sashet, whereas the jar it's just one

326
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 1: little jar. So a lot of people asking about a

327
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: jar because it's considered technically more sustainable, you can reuse

328
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: the jar, and so it took us ages to find

329
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: the right sized jar and the right seal that would

330
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 1: stop the coffee clumping because we've got no anti caking

331
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: agents or anti molding agents in our coffee, and so

332
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: it took a lot of trial and error. But it

333
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: is finally live and they are finally available, which is

334
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: really really exciting. I still use the sashet one because

335
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: I travel and I just love throwing a few in

336
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: my bag. Yeah, but I guess that's because I'm a

337
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: travel junkie. If you're not a travel junkie, the jar

338
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: one makes total sense. And we've got one of the

339
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: empty jars in our kitchen behind me and it's got

340
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: like rosemary coming out of it, which is really really

341
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: really nice.

342
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, Happy Friday.

343
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: We're off to the Farmer's market in real time, and

344
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: it's Thursday night when I said this at the start.

345
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 1: So I'm about to go and do the lighthouse walk.

346
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 1: I'm hoping I time it to see dolphins. That's my goal.

347
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 1: I'm actually a bit tired. I feel like the whole

348
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,640
Speaker 1: photo shoot week has caught up with me and I'm

349
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:10,439
Speaker 1: a little bit knackerd But I know I never regret

350
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: a lighthouse walk, so I'm excited to do that the

351
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: TSAVO with my friend. I hope everyone's having a great,

352
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: a wonderful Friday, and yeah, we're going to start doing

353
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 1: Friday book club. So this week was Make It Happen

354
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:29,919
Speaker 1: by Jordana Levine. It's all about manifesting your dream life,

355
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 1: but in a really practical way.

356
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 2: She calls out woo woo, which is really cute.

357
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 1: And it's really easy to read, Like I started reading

358
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 1: on the plane and I got through forty pages no props,

359
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,639
Speaker 1: Like it's a really easy and it's very conversational, so

360
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:45,159
Speaker 1: you can kind of like feels like you're having a

361
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: conversation with her. So I'd highly recommend it. And then

362
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 1: her new book, High Love, I'll read next week. But DM,

363
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 1: if you want me to read stuff or review stuff

364
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: for you as well, and yeah, that's me. And the

365
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 1: only other thing I've done is acting school. I did

366
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 1: acting school today, some headshots, So just trying to get

367
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 1: that all chipping away so that I can start building

368
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 1: an actors show real, so to speak. And I do

369
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 1: keep doing auditions, like self tape auditions, but they're always embargoed,

370
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: which means I'm not allowed to put anything on social media.

371
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 1: But it's been fun to do a fee little auditions

372
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: and you just shoot them on your phone and send

373
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:21,360
Speaker 1: them in kind of thing.

374
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,120
Speaker 2: It's very, very relaxed.

375
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,639
Speaker 1: But it is fun to build that skill set because

376
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 1: usually they send you a script at three or four

377
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 1: pm and then you've got till ten am the next

378
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,639
Speaker 1: day to deliver, which is a pretty small window to

379
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: learn lines, but also doable and fun. Alrighty oh, I

380
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 1: feel like I've waffled, but I feel like this is

381
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,360
Speaker 1: kind of what the Friday episode is all about. It's

382
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,439
Speaker 1: a little bit of a waffle and all things Byron life.

383
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: And yes, do you know what I was thinking? I

384
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 1: should row test for me. I love how I can't

385
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 1: wrap up at all today. I'm thinking I should row

386
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: test because bosses like Snogroni's and I love Martini's. I

387
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 1: feel like I should road test some gins for you.

388
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:00,959
Speaker 2: We've got two here right now.

389
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 1: We've got the Four Pillars gin, and we've got this

390
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 1: beautiful Japanese gin that's like in hexagon shape. But up

391
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: here in Byron we've got Brookies gin, which is what

392
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 1: they serve at Rays. So if you want me to do

393
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: a little road test, I'm sure Boss would jump on board.

394
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 1: He's in a grony boy, I'm a Martini girl. Or

395
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 1: if you want us to try a cocktail or something,

396
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: just DM me like this is the really fun podcast

397
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:27,239
Speaker 1: episode where there's a zero structure, I can tailor it

398
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: to what you need. I've been invited to try a

399
