Because right after I 25 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,479 Speaker 1: recorded that episode I recorded for you from Yucker Valley, 26 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 1: I went for my morning walk and I saw this 27 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: massive snake and it's was the first third of it 28 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: was black and the rest of it was like this 29 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: dusty pink color. I think they're called coach whip snakes. 30 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: Their name means they can whip real quick. And even 31 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: as soon as I saw it, it saw me and 32 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: it was like and turned to face me, and I 33 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 1: was like, oh golly, you're You're going to be a 34 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,239 Speaker 1: quick one, aren't you. Anyway, I tried to get a 35 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 1: little VID and I was so nervous, and then I 36 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,959 Speaker 1: went home so quickly because it was just chilling. He 37 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: or she was just chilling on the side of the road, 38 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 1: like not in the bushes, not away, like very very 39 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,920 Speaker 1: close to the road, and I was walking on the 40 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 1: road anyway, so I thought I mentioned that. And I 41 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 1: also saw loads of ravens a lot of people say 42 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 1: they're bad luck, but I also think a lot of 43 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: cultures say they're really good luck to like for transformation 44 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 1: as well as being like highly adaptive and resilient and strong. Anyway, 45 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 1: so I was walking there were these five just sitting 46 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: on a like a wire, just looking down at me, 47 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: very full on but kind of like quite fun as well, 48 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 1: felt like, you know, eerie, spooky. I would have mentioned. 49 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,959 Speaker 1: In the last day we saw coyotes and these little 50 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: field chipmunk things. They're not mice, but they're the size 51 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,079 Speaker 1: of mice, and they're kind of white in color, very 52 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: light creamy. And then being back in La I gotta say, 53 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 1: because we ate loads of America, we went out for 54 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: a lot of American food, and that last day we 55 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,519 Speaker 1: went back into Pineertown, took our mates, went to Pappy 56 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,080 Speaker 1: and Harriet's. Got the grill again. Matt subsess loves the ribs. 57 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: It was a lot of fun, but it was really 58 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 1: heavy food, which I'm not so used to. But here's 59 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: the thing about me. Here's the thing about me, Gang, 60 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 1: I've f had it really hard to reel back in 61 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: after I've been having treaties and not my normal diet. 62 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: So it's taken me a little while to kind of 63 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: like come back to feeling like in my rhythm again. 64 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: So I've had to find like, you know, I don't 65 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: know about you, but when I like cut something out, 66 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: I have to find a healthy alternative for a while. 67 00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: And so like I found my favorite gluten free blondie 68 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: that I get from Lassens, the natural health storing in 69 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 1: La and I I got that because that was like 70 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 1: I was craving sweet. And then I found this chocolate 71 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: that's sweetened with fiber. So the brand is called Gatsby. 72 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: The whole bar has seventy calories five grams of sugar, 73 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: and the flavors cookies and cream of course, but they 74 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:30,720 Speaker 1: are using I believe alulos a sweeter. There's mcten here 75 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: are sweeted with stevia. But that was yummy. Oh yeah, 76 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,039 Speaker 1: allulos is the first ingredient, So that was really really yummy. 77 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:42,359 Speaker 1: Cool Gatsby inspired branding like the wise little Martini glass. 78 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 1: I don't know if you can get this in Australia, 79 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: but the brand is Gatsby. They have other flavors like 80 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 1: salted caramel, almond, but I've tried them in the past 81 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 1: and cookies and cream is the winner. I also tried 82 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: a new health bar. It's called a hemp bar. Twelve 83 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: grams of protein cookie dough flavor was really really nice 84 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: and it did hit the spot. Why didn't I bite 85 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: again when I was in lessons yesterday? I feel like 86 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:11,839 Speaker 1: I might have had high Eighteen grams are cub four 87 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 1: grams of sugars, that's not too bad, cashiw butter, hemp, protein, monk, fruit, innuline, 88 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: fire fiber, pea, crisp blend, maple syrup, sunfowl like thin 89 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,480 Speaker 1: sea salt, cinnemum, pretty clean. Hemp Bar is that brand. 90 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: And then four Sigmatic do the mushroom coffee. But I 91 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 1: tried their Boost, which is the organic elyixa mix of 92 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: quarter set mushroom and I can never say this word right, 93 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: but Soshandra, it's just because I've got a massive lisp 94 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: and it was really good. So they're just some of 95 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 1: the things I've tried this week, kind of like trying 96 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: to get back onto my little health health grind. We've 97 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: got people coming over for dinner tonight, which will be 98 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 1: so nice. That's why I'm jetting to work a bit 99 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,480 Speaker 1: earlier so i can sneak out a bit earlier and 100 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,799 Speaker 1: have a Din's at home tonight. I've got my little 101 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 1: diary here of all the things that we've done this week. 102 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I had a meeting yesterday. You know, the 103 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 1: nutrition brand Kylo. I'm an ambassador for them in America, 104 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 1: so specifically the American territory. So I met their marketing 105 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,840 Speaker 1: team yesterday. We've got a whole content shoot coming up, 106 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 1: so it was just like planning that out and figuring 107 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:29,039 Speaker 1: out how much we can physically like film in a 108 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 1: very like in a one day shoot. So I don't 109 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,840 Speaker 1: know if you know this, but recipes take a long 110 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,280 Speaker 1: time to shoot, so where I think we're planning five 111 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: recipes to yoga to five recipes to yoga Q and 112 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 1: a BTS. But yeah, that's all happening in August, which 113 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,839 Speaker 1: is really really exciting. What else have I called to 114 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 1: tell you. I've been working my butt off at the 115 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 1: yoga studio as per USU had a couple of long 116 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: days this week, like eleven hour days, and I was 117 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 1: like it knocked me, you know when, like I'm a 118 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: pretty apparent. I don't know if you know about human design. 119 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 1: If you don't, I've got a whole podcast episode on 120 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 1: it with the Beautiful em and Dumbwoodie. And I'm a 121 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 1: manifesting generator, which means we rarely burn out, which can 122 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: just like go go go, go, go go go. But 123 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 1: then I'll get frustrated if I haven't kind of made 124 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: time for myself and for me. I'm passion, like I 125 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 1: have to live my passion, and so I yues I 126 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: was like, to man, I'm feeling very frustrated today. And 127 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 1: so I had my therapist and I hadn't had my therapist, 128 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: like I had a session with my therapist. We figured 129 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 1: out for like a month, just because I think life 130 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 1: got really busy for both of us. My therapist was 131 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: traveling and obviously, like I've taken on this full time 132 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 1: position at the Yolk Sudo, but I guess I wanted 133 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 1: to mention it because it wasn't an easy session. Yeah, 134 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 1: sometimes you come out of therapy and you're like, oh 135 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 1: my god, that was the best. Oh my god, I'm 136 00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: a superhuman. Oh my god, I just faced all this, 137 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 1: I've grown, I've stretched. That's usually how I feel, or 138 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 1: I feel like he really helps me like anchor myself 139 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: or realign anything that he's realignment. But like, yesterday was 140 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 1: just like a really hard session, a lot of tears, 141 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: a lot of like coming to terms with things that 142 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 1: I didn't really want to come to terms with. And 143 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: I was just like, well it was so hard on 144 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 1: Matt's like this is so good, and I'm like why 145 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: is this good? And he's like, because you're processing. That's 146 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 1: what this is forcing you do. He's like, you are 147 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,559 Speaker 1: processing and I was like really, and He's like, yeah, 148 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 1: you're moving through stuff.
