00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:19,440
Speaker 1: in my world, from book tours, animal encounters, delish meals,

7
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 1: nature adventures, health discoveries to swimming in hidden Byron Bay beaches.

Speaker 1: Come with me as I share my adventures with you. Hello,

9
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:36,519
Speaker 1: Welcome to your Diary pod. This week again coming to

10
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 1: you from beautiful Byron Bay. That said, in a couple

11
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 1: of hours, I fly to Sydney, so when this comes out,

12
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: technically I'll be in Sidos. But I wanted to do

13
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 1: the week that was, which was in Byron So we

14
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: went to this place that I've been talking to you about.

15
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 2: I put it in the Travel Byron Bay story and.

16
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: I hadn't been yet. And it's called the Bunya. It's

17
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:04,839
Speaker 1: in mull and Bimbi. It's a Russian bathhouse. It feels

18
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 1: like Los Angeles palm springs. It's all like green and

19
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: white tiles with like gold what's the word accents, It's

20
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 1: gorge It's sixty bucks for ninety minutes of steam soak sauna.

21
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: So what we We started off in the spa. So

22
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: there's three spas, but one is cold, so you've got

23
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:25,839
Speaker 1: a cold spa.

24
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 2: I reckon.

25
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: It's between five and ten degrees, so it's not like

26
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 1: crazy ice bath temps, but it's chili. And then you've

27
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: got two nice warm ones, and then you've got kind

28
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: of like a twenty meter lappool, and then there's a

29
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: steam room, and then there's a sauna.

30
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 2: And so for ninety minutes cost a sixty bucks.

31
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: So we bought vouchers for our two mates, Andy and

32
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: Sam and then Boscor and I want to go and

33
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: Boss got me a massage is part of my Crimbo brasy.

34
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: So after my ninety minute soak, I walked upstairs, which

35
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: is where you can chill and have like cocktails and stuff,

36
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: but there's also treatment rooms and I got a deep

37
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: tissue massage and it was so good, and I realized

38
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: I haven't had a massage since like September, so probably

39
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: needed that. Probably needed that like no man's biz, you know.

40
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: And it was great. And I literally was going to

41
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: go to a boxing class that night, and I renegged

42
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: because I just wanted the magic of the massage to

43
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: just like seep into my being.

44
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 2: But it was really really really great. Loved it.

45
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: And you know when you ask massage therapists to like

46
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: work on an area. Literally I think it was an

47
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: hour massage and I think my massage therapist spent forty

48
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,239
Speaker 1: five minutes on the area I asked for. So like thorcive,

49
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: thoracic spine, neck and shoulders, oh so good, and like

50
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: firm pressure really really great. So Bunny is a really

51
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: good one if you're visiting Byron and you're just like, oh,

52
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: I want to do something cool and new, and it's

53
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: social as well. It was so funged it with some mates.

54
00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: So we did that on Monday. What else have I

55
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: got my list? Also on Monday, the Fertility Pod came out,

56
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: So that's part of a four part series. So the

57
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: epic came out on Monday. Is literally Boss and I

58
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 1: just going, yo, this is us and our fertility journey,

59
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: this is where we're at with it. And we actually

60
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 1: recorded the episodes in real time, so episode one was

61
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: recorded the day before I started my injections. Episode two

62
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: and three were recorded during the cycle, the stem cycle

63
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: it's called, so basically that's all the stuff that's going

64
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: on while you're injecting. And then the fourth episode that

65
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: we haven't recorded JET because I wanted it to be

66
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: up well and truly after not just getting results, but

67
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: also all the mental and physical health work I'd done

68
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: post to fill myself again. And there has been a

69
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: lot of mental and physical work I've had to do

70
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: post IVF that I am still doing to feel myself again.

71
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: So that's kind of where the pod will be. So

72
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: EP one came out Monday, and the next three weeks

73
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: are fertility special apps. And thank you so much for

74
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: people that have written to me and listened. It means

75
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: so much. I just hope that sharing it, sharing one

76
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: stem cycle, it just helps people feel less alone and

77
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: less scared. I know that if I could listen to

78
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: something beforehand that was like, hey, these are what the

79
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: needles are like. This is what it's going to sound like,

80
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,239
Speaker 1: because some of the needles have got CLICKI pen things

81
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 1: in them, and you know, little tricks like grab when

82
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: you inject in your stomach, like grab as much of

83
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: a chunk of a little roll as you can because

84
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: it's going to hurt less. You know, just a little

85
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: handy facts like that. So that's what that part is.

86
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: And then of course you still got your hot seat

87
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: on Wednesday and then you got me. Now I go

88
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: to LA nearly three weeks now, so there's a lot

89
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: of travel between now and then within Australia coming up.

90
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,919
Speaker 1: So I go to SIDS today, come back for a week,

91
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 1: then I think SIDS again, then hopefully potential trip again.

92
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 1: I'm just waiting. It's a work trip, just waiting see

93
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: if that all comes through. And then Malbs. You know,

94
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: it's got to see the fan band before I go

95
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 1: to Americana, and then I think it one week back

96
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: in Byron and then I'm on a flight to beautiful

97
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: Los Angeles this week. I've been doing a lot of

98
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: American prep stuff, so sorting out a car, a home.

99
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: American health insurance is a beast and very confusing. It's

100
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 1: as hard as American tax almost. So I'm just looking

101
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,919
Speaker 1: and getting quotes and looking at the best options. But

102
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 1: just so you know, in Australia we are so lucky.

103
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 1: Health insurance is a lot more affordable. And like I

104
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 1: got a quote from a broker, so like you go

105
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: to a broker for health insurance in America and it

106
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: was like four hundred and fourteen dollars a month US,

107
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,359
Speaker 1: so what's that six point fifty Australian. I was like,

108
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 1: oh my goodness, I am going to burn through my savings.

109
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 1: So yeah, just being getting quotes, doing my research, calling

110
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: up all my mates in America that are also living there.

111
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's what this week's been a lot of

112
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: Americana prep and research. Obviously, as I was saying, been

113
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: really focusing on the health and wellness and just feeling

114
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: good again. I put on a bunch of weight with

115
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: the IVF stuff and probably like IVF leading into crimbo

116
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: as well, So just trying to like move the bod.

117
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 2: Eat really well, feel really good.

118
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,440

00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 2: I have a book review for you.

157
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: I've been promising you this book review forever.

158
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 2: It's full disclosure.

159
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: I haven't fully finished it, but I really want to

160
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: review it for you. I keep promising you that I'm

161
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 1: going to review it, and I've nearly finished it, so

162
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 1: I feel like I can give a good, you know,

163
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: feedback on it. And then I'm reading a different book

164
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: in when I go to Sydney. And in Sydney, I'm

165
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: only there for a couple of days this trip, and

166
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: I'm learning a monologue for acting school when I go

167
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 1: back to Malbs in a few weeks and so, and

168
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: it's a really tricky, very physical, very comedic.

169
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 2: It's got this like southern twang to it.

170
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: Like I think the opening line is like Jesus Christ

171
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:11,439
Speaker 1: like as opposed to Jesus Christ like. It's not general American,

172
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: it's like nineteen sixties Southern twang, and like the it's hard,

173
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 1: it's hard to hit certain words in a Southern twagon,

174
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: but it's also so much fun. So I've got my

175
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: dialect coach book for the weekend and I'm giving myself

176
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 1: the next two days in Sydney to learn the monologue

177
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 1: and do all the acting school homework on it as well.

178
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: So that's what I'll be doing in my spare time

179
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 1: in Sidos. I'm also going to meet my pod manager.

180
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:40,239
Speaker 2: I'm going to meet my mate.

181
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: Rees who's been on this pod, and hopefully just go

182
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: for some really leafy walks. I love walking around like

183
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: Centennial Park and stuff in Pado and in all around

184
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: like Darlinghurst that areas that they're the areas I used

185
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 1: to live in when I lived in sids Anyway, I digress.

186
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 1: Let's do the book review. So the reason why I

187
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: found out about this person, this author, is because I

188
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,959
Speaker 1: listened to a podcast called Diary of a CEO and

189
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 1: this person is being interviewed. His name is Julian treasure.

190
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: He's a famous ted speaker and he talks all about

191
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: sound and listening. But the book is called How to

192
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: be Heard Secrets for Powerful Speaking and Listening.

193
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 2: It's really really cool.

194
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: I just thought I would be handy for like acting,

195
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: voice acting, podcasting. But the stuff that I've loved learning

196
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 1: about is and I've got a little bit to read

197
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: for you, is all about like the power of listening

198
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: to nature. So how cool is this? Okay, so listen.

199
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 1: First of all, listening to nature is called biophy biophie.

200
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: So biophilia is the healing power of Mother Nature, and

201
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 1: biophi or biophy is the sound of nature.

202
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 2: So he this writer is so cool.

203
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: He talks about how like different sounds have different impacts

204
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 1: on us.

205
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:04,319
Speaker 2: So a gentle.

206
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: Breeze with leaves or grass is one of my favorite sounds,

207
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: and it can work very well as a background sound

208
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 1: on a hot, airless day, or in headphones making masking

209
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: a sound when I'm trying to work if there are

210
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: people speaking nearby. So he talks about sound pollution, like

211
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: if there's people on a work site next door drilling,

212
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 1: or if you're working in an office space and you

213
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 1: can hear the phone call on the other side of

214
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 1: the dividing wall. He's like, that makes it much harder

215
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: for you to focus. So he'll talk about putting sounds

216
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 1: in that are like great for working. His talks about

217
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: the power of water. Listening to water. This is really cool.

218
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: Water works. Water can work its magic too. If you

219
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: ever have problems sleeping, the gentle sound of surf may

220
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: well be the answer. Its typical frequency is very similar

221
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: to the breathing pattern of a sleeping person, so there's

222
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 1: a strong psychological association. Emotionally, we tend to associate it

223
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: with being relaxed, stress free on a beach somewhere. And

224
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: then this is the one I love the most. He

225
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: talks about birds song so literally like hearing the tripping birds.

226
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: You know that when well, I know when I live

227
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: in Byron, you can hear the birds as you wake up.

228
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 2: Sydney.

229
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 1: I used to love that in Sydney because the birds

230
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: in Sydney sound very different to the birds in Melbourne.

231
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: And it was when I first moved there. I was

232
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 1: like twenty six and I was like, oh my god,

233
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,719
Speaker 1: the birds and Sydney are very vocal, and I just

234
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 1: just more birds I think anyway, So he said, here,

235
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna hold it better so that I'm closer

236
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 1: to the Mike Aroney. Okay, he goes, I've mentioned bird

237
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: song before in this book, and I make no apology

238
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: for again extolling its virtues as a sound that promotes

239
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: mental alertness, it's time to be awake when the birds

240
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: are singing, and emotional security. When the birds are happily singing,

241
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 1: we feel safe. There are apps and recordings available for

242
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: you to play bird song on your mobile device or computer, but.

243
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 2: It's so there.

244
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 1: We feel secure when we hear bird song, and that's

245
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: from like literally like if there was danger or something wrong,

246
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 1: the birds will stop singing and obviously fly away. So

247
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: it's like this, it's for waking up the morning. So

248
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: like alertness and focus, but also like to feel safe

249
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 1: while you're focusing.

250
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 2: How cool.

251
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: But he talks about how sound can affect our health

252
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: and wellbeing, talks about the power of I think he

253
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 1: calls it conscious listening.

254
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 2: Really really cool.

255
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: The way we speak about like sometimes we speak in

256
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:57,559
Speaker 1: like negatively and like gossipy, and yeah, really really fascinating.

257
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 1: But he's very passionate about conscious listening always creates understanding.

258
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 2: Cool book. It is nonfiction, of course, so.

259
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 1: Like when I've reviewed for you, like the Colleen Hoover

260
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: or the Canvas Fox fiction books, obviously you can power

261
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 1: through them in a day or two, but this is

262
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: much more like you're teaching your brain something and you're

263
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: learning something. So I would highly recommend it. It's called

264
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: How to Be Heard Secrets Were Powerful, Speaking and Listening

265
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: by Julian Treasure. I just ordered it off book Topia

266
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: and I got it like in a week. But I

267
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 1: have you know, I have been dragging my legs, my legs,

268
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: my eye. I haven't been reading it consistently. Also probably

269
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: because Boss and I are season four now in Yellowstone

270
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: loving it, getting really into the musicians that are on

271
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: the show. I had no idea that all these singers

272
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: were actually on the show as well. And we're getting real,

273
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: like I've got a Montana playlist now, and Boss and

274
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 1: I have a dream to like buy a ranch and

275
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: build a ranch in Montana or Wyoming.

276
00:14:59,240 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 2: Legit.

277
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: But it's so incredible. The cast is amazing. The way

278
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: that the writer Taylor Shedon writes women is really empowering

279
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: and strong, and they're layered and complex, and it's really cool,

280
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: fun fact, the lead actress that plays Beth, Beth Done

281
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 1: is actually British in real life, but she sounds she's

282
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 1: Her American dialect is bang on like ten out of ten. Anyway,

283
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: we're really down the Yellowstone Cornlet, loving it to.

284
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 2: The point that I don't know what we'll watch after

285
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 2: because we're just.

286
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 1: Like, oh my goodness, this is so good, and it

287
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 1: is it is so so so good.

288
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 2: So that's at my update. I've been swimming in the ocean.

289
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 1: I've been trying to do some night swim so I

290
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: went for a big hike with my mate back and

291
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: then we did lighty saw so much wildlife, and then

292
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: just dumped in the ocean, went for a swim at

293
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 1: like six pm at night. It's such a great ritual. Well,

294
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: it's so hot here at the moment, and loving it,

295
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: loving all the nature, loving all the health, love, and

296
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: just connecting back to our bodies.

297
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 2: Boss and I are doing.

298
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: It's a full moon on Monday, the sixth of February,

299
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: and on Friday, the night before, we're having a few

300
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: mates over for a full moon ceremony. So we have

301
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 1: a little fire pit in our backyard and we just

302
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: invite a handful of mates over to write down what

303
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: they want to let go of and burn it in

304
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: the fire and they can have some nibblies or drinks

305
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 1: if they want to anyway, so that'll be fun.

306
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 2: That's on Sunday too, all right.

307
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 1: Hooru Gang hooru, big love, thanks for being awesome, and

308
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: I'll speak to you.

309
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 2: I hope you enjoy the Fertility Pod it two.

310
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,720
