Speaker 2: just going to tell you everything that has happened in

14
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 2: the week that was. Let's start off. I'm in Byron

15
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,200
Speaker 2: Bay at the moment, so well, this is where we live.

16
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 2: I had a great foodie experience. Went for a little

17
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 2: lunch date at Woods and I got their special Halloomy

18
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 2: Sun gluten free and yep, not dairy free or vegan

19
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 2: because I had halloomin in it. But it was just

20
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 2: like loads of greens, loads of herbs, loads of like

21
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 2: there was some pickled bege some spuds and it was

22
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 2: just really really yummy. So you already know I love

23
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 2: woods because they're banana bread, but I went and just

24
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 2: deviated from my natural order and I had this really

25
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 2: yummy salad. I am trying to be just super health

26
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 2: conscious with all the fertility stuff.

27
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 1: That's going on.

28
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 2: I'll give you a quick, little like express update of

29
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 2: that as well. Boss and I are actually going to

30
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 2: be doing a whole pod on the fertility journey, So

31
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 2: we'll be literally doing a four parta on the whole

32
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 2: experience of it and then bringing it out as a

33
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 2: four part series. So I won't go into too much depth,

34
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 2: but I will definitely keep you in the loop. And

35
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 2: of course, like all my insters got all the updates

36
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 2: of that, so had the Great Wood State. Also had

37
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 2: the Woods Boys over dinner, and we had like really

38
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 2: yummy oysters and we just had lots of little different

39
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 2: dips and like vegan cheeses and normal cheeses and nuts

40
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 2: and it was just really really nice. And then I've

41
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 2: got my notes for the week that was This week,

42
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 2: I have had my stitches out of my leg whoop,

43
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 2: So that means three more days and I'm back to

44
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 2: like can exercise totally.

45
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: Normally, Like I have no problems with my legs.

46
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 2: I've just got to make sure because the stitches are

47
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 2: out now, you don't want to kind of like re

48
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 2: rip the wound open apparently, so.

49
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:27,839
Speaker 1: That feels great. Stitches are out.

50
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 2: We had to have more bloods for the embryo stuff

51
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 2: and the freezing of the embryo, should I say, and

52
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 2: had an ultrasound as well, which I was really scared of,

53
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 2: but it wasn't too bad at all.

54
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: It's basically like a little.

55
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 2: Dial Do covered in loube, and it's actually more gentle

56
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 2: than I expected. I have had acupuncture this week. I

57
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 2: have had a shark clearing this week with my friend Laura.

58
00:02:55,080 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 2: I posted about my inser stories, but I should I'm

59
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 2: just trying to think what I can. Oh, I can

60
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 2: write it here. I'm pretty sure it's called Flourish, and

61
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 2: I'm looking it up as we speak, because I figure.

62
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 2: I love when I'm listening to pods and I can

63
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 2: oh good one. Lola don't even know my pass code,

64
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 2: but we were just texting one another, so I know

65
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 2: she's in my Here we go, here we go, Here

66
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 2: we go there we go. So it's called Flourish Lane

67
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 2: and Laura Pike and she does emotional well being and

68
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 2: energy healing and I had an energy healing with her

69
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 2: and I cried during it. We worked on each chark

70
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 2: section and I cried during it.

71
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: That mate.

72
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 2: Like afterwards, I bowled and I had a sleep and

73
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 2: been very teary today as well. But I think I've

74
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 2: been tiery today because we've been doing all the preliminary

75
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 2: stuff for the fertility and I just had a big

76
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 2: chat to my dad and it is it is an

77
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 2: overwhelming experience. I've just picked up all the medicine and

78
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 2: start injecting in a few days, like it's quite a

79
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 2: lot and just like a full on experience. But like

80
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 2: what I never expected was that Boss and I wouldn't

81
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 2: get a many care rebate, and so we kind of

82
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 2: went in thinking, oh, you know, yes, is going to

83
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 2: cost like six grand, and it's like fifteen. So it's

84
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 2: just quickly like crept up and crept up and crept up,

85
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 2: and then you get stung with the medicines and you

86
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 2: think it's going to be like a couple hundred and

87
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 2: it's two thousand kind of things.

88
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: So it's been a really big eye opener.

89
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 2: Financially, I had no idea, like I've gone in clearly

90
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 2: so naive, and I had no idea that it was

91
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 2: going to be so costly. So it's just been a

92
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 2: really confronting day and kind of like week financially as well.

93
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 2: But learning lots, learning loads about our house, learning loads

94
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 2: about our like what matters to us and our value system.

95
00:04:54,080 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 2: So we're here and I'm quite petrified, to be honest,

96
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 2: but also like looking forward to that moment of feeling

97
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 2: empowered as well, and so I think that that'll come.

98
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 2: So yeah, if you want any more updates on the

99
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 2: fertility stuff, We're going to be recording part one over

100
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 2: the weekend. It won't be coming out for a little

101
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 2: while because I want to record at different stages of

102
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 2: the whole process, and I will be sharing in real

103
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 2: time though everything on Insta stories and Instagram whatnot.

104
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: So if you want, if you're.

105
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 2: Fascinated, if you're thinking about it, if you want to

106
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 2: know what it feels like and is what's going on, like,

107
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 2: I share it all.

108
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: Okay, I have a book review for you too.

109
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 2: I finally finish this book I bought in LA It's

110
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 2: called Save The Cat Goes to the Movies, and it's

111
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 2: by Blake Snyder. I've talked to you about it before,

112
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 2: I think when I bought it many diaries ago, but

113
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 2: I finally finished it. It's a book about screenwriting and

114
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 2: it says here Screenwriter's Guide to Every Story Ever told.

115
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 2: So it's a breakdown of story theory, of different kinds

116
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 2: of genres of movies. Just really fascinating, I think as

117
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 2: an actor to understand like what kind of genre you're

118
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 2: auditioning for, what kind of genre you was an actor

119
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 2: sit in? And so I learned loads from it. I

120
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 2: loved it. You've kind of got to be in the

121
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 2: mood to be in. This is obviously a non fiction

122
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 2: and I've also I've read a fiction this week as well,

123
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 2: but i'll review it for you next week. But it's

124
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 2: really cool, like all.

125
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 1: The different themes of storytelling.

126
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 2: So like there's superhero movies, which is like Hero's journey.

127
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 2: You would have heard about who done it, so that's

128
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 2: where you're kind of trying to figure out like who

129
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 2: the bad he is, and you know a bit of

130
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 2: a kind of like thriller.

131
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: And then there's like.

132
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 2: Isn't that one called Genie in a bottle, and that

133
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 2: is like for anything that's a bit mystical and magical,

134
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 2: and it's just really fascinating, right of passage movies, and then.

135
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 1: What were the ones I loved? The one that I love.

136
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 2: Is Fools Fulls Triumph, so like the underdog winning and

137
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 2: things like that, really fascinating, really cool. I think you've

138
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 2: got to be into like acting and movies and that

139
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 2: to kind of like love it.

140
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: But I loved it, and yeah, I would recommend.

141
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 2: That, is my We've just been on the yeah, the

142
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 2: health wagon and just trying to feel really nourished and

143
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 2: healthy for.

144
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: This next little phase. So we'll start.

145
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 2: The IBF injections in I think two or three days

146
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 2: and then it'll all kick off and I think it

147
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 2: goes for about ten or eleven days of injecting, and

148
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 2: then you have the procedure and then they'll introduce matt

149
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 2: sperm to the embryos the eggs, and then hopefully we

150
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 2: get a few and pop them on ice and then

151
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 2: chase after that career without I'm a bit of an overthinker,

152
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 2: and so I really want I was saying in the matter,

153
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 2: I just really want to chase our dreams and go

154
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 2: for it all and have no regrets, and so we're

155
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 2: kind of doing this so that we can have Bambinos

156
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 2: down the track hopefully. So it's big, it's a lot,

157
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 2: and hang in there for the journey because there will

158
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 2: be a pod special coming. But I hope you have

159
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 2: a wonderful, a wonderful weekend. I'm just going to take

160
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 2: it easy. We've been doing loads of beach walks, so

161
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 2: just kind of like all the really nice nourishing stuff.

162
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 2: I haven't decided what EP you're going to have Monday.

163
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 2: You're either going to get a health episode or you're

164
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 2: going to get an extreme sports episode. I haven't decided.

165
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 2: Both are really cool humans. But yeah, thank you for listening,

166
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 2: and thank you to everybody that's been supporting me across

167
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 2: on Insta as well with all the fertility stuff. I

168
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 2: really freaking appreciate it. And it's so kind to not

169
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 2: feel so alone with something so scary. All Right, thank you,

170
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 2: Big Love by
