Speaker 1: from book tours, animal encounters, delish meals, nature adventures, health

Speaker 1: discoveries to swimming in Hidden Byron Bay Beaches. Come with

7
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:33,199
Speaker 1: me as I share my adventures with you. Hello, Pod Diary,

8
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 1: first one of twenty twenty five. How do you feel?

9
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: Are you pumped and excited and amped up and ready

10
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:48,239
Speaker 1: to go for the year ahead. I I to be

11
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:51,840
Speaker 1: honest with you, I had a really anxious New Year's Eve,

12
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: but then start to feel clearer and clearer from news

13
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: day onwards. And I'm recording this on the second so

14
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: it's only pain forty eight hours. But that's kind of been.

15
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:05,320
Speaker 1: We had a very chilled, very nice mallow New Year's

16
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: Eve and New Year's Day I had to work, and

17
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 1: so I spent the morning kind of like just brainstorming

18
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: this creative idea and then head into work. But I

19
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: like my I want to be in charge of my

20
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: My therapist and I Terry. We have done work around

21
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: like being the director of my own life, and that

22
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: is my theme I believe for twenty twenty five, like

23
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 1: making decisions that I want to make based on like

24
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: what works, what serves all that kind of thing, you

25
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 1: know what I mean. So yeah, that's me. That's kind

26
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: of like the New Year was just like super mallow,

27
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: super chill. Also, that time between between Christmas and New

28
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: Year can feel really like funky, but it kind of

29
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: felt really nice. We just kind of like laid low.

30
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: La gets really quiet. I've never been La for a

31
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: Christmas or New Year before, Like there's no traffic. Apparently

32
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: this will last until the second week of January and

33
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 1: then it's all back to bizo. But I will say

34
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 1: Americans don't take that much time off like work. Emails

35
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: keep flying through and it's still very much like all

36
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 1: systems arego work wise. Now I've got my diary out

37
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: to look at if there's anything that I've done. I

38
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 1: did a walk around the Rezi with a mate. We

39
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: had a really only coffee together at La Mill and

40
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,519
Speaker 1: we got to walk around look at all the cute pappuccinos.

41
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 1: I also went for a coffee with a mate this

42
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: Smawn's at Blue Bottle. If you ever in LA and

43
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: you're like, I don't know where to get coffee. Blue

44
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 1: bottle is a good fail safe because it's a chain,

45
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: but it's really good coffee. And another trick is if

46
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: you like black coffee, you can almost do no wrong

47
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 1: when you get black drip coffee in America. And then

48
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: if you're a long black drinker like I am, go

49
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: for a long black. That's my hot tips for you.

50
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: So I think what Matt and I have been doing

51
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 1: these last few days is just getting really like creative

52
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 1: and clear on where we want to go, our ideas

53
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: and all that kind of thing. That's kind of been

54
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: like the we've kind of been plotting and planning for

55
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five and just kind of like being so

56
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 1: excited about that, which I am so pumped for twenty

57
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 1: twenty five. I've got a really good feeling that things

58
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: are going to start to line up and things are

59
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: going to start to fall into place, and I feel

60
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: so ready, I would say, So that's kind of like

61
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: my vibe. But yeah, being the director of my own

62
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: life is where I'm at. And I've been messaging my

63
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: therapist today and we're just trying to book a session

64
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: in together soon, So I think I'm going to do

65
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: that in a couple of days. I am back at

66
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,240

Speaker 1: we do, I will be able to tell you what

68
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: my monologue is, which is really exciting. I've booked in

69
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: with my voice coach. I have two exciting things coming up,

70
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: and I just yelled out to Matt before I hit record.

71
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: I was like, can I share? And he was like, no,

72
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: not until they're done. So when they are done, I

73
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: will tell you them. That's yeah, that's really really exciting.

74
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 1: We just like also really want to enjoy LA and

75
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: all the LA has to offer over these you know,

76
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: next few like lengths a little bit. We've been in

77
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: such a grind for the last kind of like, or

78
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 1: I feel like I've been in the grind for the

79
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 1: last six months or so, and now I'm like, Okay,

80
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: I want to just feel so flip and excited and

81
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 1: empowered to like be my own boss. And I think

82
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: that's how I thrive, Like that's how I've built a

83
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: whole career, is just like being my own boss, director

84
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: of my own life. So I hope that I don't

85
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 1: know if that resonates with you. I hope it does.

86
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: I think it would, because like we all want to

87
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,359
Speaker 1: be the director of our own story, right our own life.

88
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: I've also got my mermaid cards for you here as well.

89
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: I thought, I'm just going to pull three cards for

90
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: you and you can take them in whatever order that

91
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: you want. I'm just giving them a shuffle here if

92
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: you're wondering why I'm taking my sweet time and PS.

93
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 1: Boss and I just went to Air One and had

94
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 1: the most delicious lunch. We got this slow cooked lamb

95
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: shoulder curry and then these like heirloom carrots and then

96
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: Brussels sprouts and it was so flippin' yum. And then

97
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,799
Speaker 1: Boss got on the side a little slider for himself,

98
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 1: like a little mini burger. So y, we love we

99
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: love our Air One dates. Okay. So I always start

100
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: with the bottom of the deck. Just have a little look.

101
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: So the card on the bottom of the deck is Friendship. PS.

102
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: These cards are oracle cards by Doraine Virtue and they're

103
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: called Magical Mermaids and Dolphins. So at the bottom of

104
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 1: the card says friendship. That's so interesting because today I've

105
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: hung out with two friends. So I like that It

106
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 1: feels like this is in line. Make a day for

107
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: play They make a date for a play day with

108
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: one or more friends. Perfect, well, I hung out with

109
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: two today. And then the way that I read these

110
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: cards as past, present, future. But you take what you want.

111
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: But there's gonna be three cards I'm gonna read here.

112
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: So the first one is ready set go Now is

113
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 1: the perfect moment to dive in and embrace your heart's desire.

114
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: Second one, let yourself receive, allow others to give you

115
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 1: loving care, receive without guilt or apologies. That's really hard

116
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: for me. I get really uncomfortable asking for favors or

117
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: asking for help. I'm so crap at it. So that's

118
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: a really important one for me too. And then explore

119
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 1: your options. It's time to look at other possibilities. It's

120
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 1: a good time to make change. I'm all about change

121
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five to two, like exciting transformation and

122
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 1: change is my whole stick. And then I'm just gonna

123
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: not even gonna ruffle again, just gonna pull one while

124
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: card out. I love I love pulling wild card out.

125
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: Hang on flip didn't I do want to shuffle them? Sorry?

126
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: I feel like I then need to shuffle in order

127
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: for me to a proper wild card. Wild Card is

128
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: just like take what you take, whatever you feel you need.

129
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: You know, all right, we boom, all right, here we go.

130
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: Wild Card music for manifesting. To manifest rapidly think of

131
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: your desire while you chan't hum, sing or play music.

132
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: And then the card at the bottom of that pile

133
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: is treasure chest. An unforeseen windfall of new abundance comes

134
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: to you now amazed. Oh my goodness, that was a

135
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: nice little reading, a little new year reading. Now Monday's

136

Speaker 1: So there'll be a bit of health stuff in there,

139
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: but also just like goal setting and setting intentions and

140
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: getting clear for the year ahead. And it's just a

141
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: new year, New vibe, and that's going to be with

142
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: me as well. But it'll be yes, health and wellness,

143
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: but it will also be like getting really clear on

144
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: like how to mind map, how to manifest, how to

145
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: sit down and journal and set your goals and intentions

146
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: for twenty twenty five. That's going to come out on Monday,

Speaker 1: from America. They're going to be all peppered throughout, like

152
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: you know, I think the first guess might be Joe Stanley,

153
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: and then the one after that is Anthony Mindel, the

154
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,559
Speaker 1: acting coach. And I'm really excited. I've booked two more
