Part of it was that I had I had 91 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:23,039 Speaker 3: a little boy, Maxie, who's now twelve nuts, and I 92 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,279 Speaker 3: wanted I did want the flexibility. Even though at the 93 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 3: editor my editor at Vogue was really great, Edwina. She 94 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 3: was just like, yep, you know, you can work one 95 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 3: day from home, and you know, like there was there 96 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 3: was flexiblity, but it was still beauty. Editors are expected 97 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 3: to be like the kind of like and we used 98 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 3: to laugh, like kind of dance monkey, Like you were 99 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:48,359 Speaker 3: kind of like the the face of the magazine. Like 100 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 3: they drag us around to all the ad meetings and 101 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 3: you had to like do the spiel, and you had 102 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 3: to go out at event to events at night, and 103 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 3: you were expected to and if you said no because 104 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:00,920 Speaker 3: you were tired or you had child at home, you'd 105 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 3: get this kind of call from advertising and they'd be like, yeah, 106 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:05,840 Speaker 3: we've heard you, didn't you know, you couldn't attend the 107 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,919 Speaker 3: Revlon event or something, and you'd be like, oh, yeah, no, okay, 108 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 3: I'll be there. So it was kind of like your 109 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,719 Speaker 3: time was not really your own, even though even though 110 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 3: you know, and I'd done at that stage ten or 111 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 3: fifteen years when I must have been ten years of 112 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,600 Speaker 3: eventing and you know, beauty being a beauty editor and 113 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 3: beauty director, so the events were not at all exciting 114 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 3: to me anymore. It was just like, I just want 115 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 3: to get home and I want to be with my 116 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 3: child and my husband. So there was that, and then 117 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 3: there was also a desired upskill and I could see 118 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,600 Speaker 3: what was happening in the digital world, so that stage. Yeah, 119 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 3: magazines were closing and they still are. You know, they 120 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,840 Speaker 3: come back and then they close again, and it's heartbreaking. 121 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 3: So much creativity and all those wonderful talents and you know, 122 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:59,359 Speaker 3: and it's yeah, it's a tough industry and you know, 123 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 3: you would know from being in the media for so long. 124 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 3: So I wanted to learn how to do video, and 125 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 3: believe it or not, I would say to the online 126 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 3: team Vogue, like, oh, look, I want to produce, Like 127 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 3: I wanted to go and I was actually doing this 128 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,040 Speaker 3: very thing. I wanted to go into people's homes and 129 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 3: start shooting them at home with their beauty routine. And 130 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 3: then we did a couple of sort of stories like that, 131 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 3: but they were like, they wouldn't give me any budget 132 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 3: to do it, and I was like, this is Vogue 133 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 3: like and it was frustrating because I knew that I 134 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 3: could create the content. I grew up. You just met 135 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 3: my mum. She's a producer, incredible, and yeah, that's right. 136 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:39,720 Speaker 3: And my dad's a virgo and they're both journalists. And 137 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 3: my dad went into PR and my mom went into TV. 138 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 3: So I've grown up in the industry like, and I 139 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 3: knew that I could. You know, with a bit of 140 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 3: help and you know, learn how to kind of produce 141 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 3: stuff and do TV. And at that time, it was 142 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 3: very stay in your lane, like you were talking about 143 00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 3: with nutrition, and it still isn't a bit in Australia. 144 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 3: I think there's a lot more flexibility here. But I 145 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 3: remember saying to a very high profile magazine editor at 146 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 3: the time who was interviewing me for a job, and 147 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 3: I said, I, at that stage, this is way before Vogue, 148 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 3: and this is before a New Woman. And I went 149 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 3: for a job as a beauty editor at a magazine 150 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 3: and at the same time, I had done an audition. 151 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 3: I'm like, you like, I have always been very interested 152 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 3: in acting and drama and TV presenting, and I'd done 153 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 3: an audition for Fox Fox eight. It was for the 154 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 3: face of Fox eight, and I was waiting to hear back. 155 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 3: It was between me and this other girl who I 156 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 3: still know as well, and I did the magazine interview 157 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 3: and she was like, I said, I'm just still waiting 158 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 3: to hear back about this Fox eight job, and she 159 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 3: just like she was like, I've got so many girls 160 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 3: who would take your place. Right now, She's like, you 161 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 3: can't do t you can't do TV and magazines. You 162 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 3: have to decide, and I remember thinking, I just I 163 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 3: can't design. I love them both, you know, And I 164 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 3: ended up turning down the job really, really politely. She 165 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 3: never wrote back like she was pissed off that I 166 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 3: would have the audacity to think that I could do both, 167 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 3: or that I even wouldn't have I think that I 168 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 3: wouldn't commit myself wholly and fully to magazines.

And that's what I love about 226 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 3: this podcast is it celebrates those really beautiful people who 227 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 3: you who just glow within like yourself, like it just 228 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 3: it's people who are heart led and passionate and you know, 229 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 3: and and can sit in a place of vulnerability. 230 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 1: And that's where I think the magic is because also 231 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 1: you so openly and vulnerably have shared your own journey 232 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 1: of anxiety depression, which led yourself that led you to 233 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 1: essentially like check yourself into facilities. 234 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 3: I did, absolutely, I'm very open about it. I've done 235 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 3: two podcasts where I talk about it on my own podcast. 236 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 3: But yeah, last year I kind of hit a wall. 237 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:06,839 Speaker 3: And I think it was I didn't realize I had 238 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:10,319 Speaker 3: unresolved trauma from childhood from my parents split split when 239 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 3: I was eight. It was a pretty brutal separation, and 240 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 3: oh yeah, it was hard. And I was an early 241 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 3: child and we moved around a lot, so I didn't 242 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 3: have a sense of home and stability and. 243 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 2: Like seven different schools. 244 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, so it was a really hard time. And 245 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 3: I think I overcompensated and became a bit of a 246 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 3: perfectionist and worked really hard, and I've made myself chronically busy. 247 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 3: And that's something I'm still working on now, is that I, 248 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 3: like you say, anyone who watches my socials always like 249 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 3: you are so busy, Like I get exhausted watching you, 250 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 3: and I'm like, I'm exhausted, but I can't stop. It's 251 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,959 Speaker 3: like an addiction. And I realized that actually I went 252 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 3: back and did Trauma program at South Pacific Private, which 253 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 3: was the facility I went to, and they have a 254 00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:58,559 Speaker 3: Trauma one and a Trauma two, and I said, did 255 00:12:58,559 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 3: Trauma one while I was in there, and then I 256 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 3: came back and did trauma too. And everyone's in there 257 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 3: for all sorts of addictions, and as you know, there's 258 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 3: drugs and alcohol and then there's shopping addictions. And I 259 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 3: was made to look at like what they do is 260 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,560 Speaker 3: they make you talk about the unmanageability of your life. 261 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 3: So you're in these little groups. Group therapy is amazing. 262 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 3: I know you love talk therapy if you get a 263 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 3: chance to. If you ever find that there's something that 264 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 3: you're working on and you can find a support group 265 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 3: for that, I highly recommend because it's like and that's 266 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 3: why AA is so crucial for people. And NA it's like, 267 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 3: oh yeah. And I went to a couple of AA 268 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 3: meetings and NA meeting. Did I go to NA? No? 269 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 3: I didn't go to NA in the men and I 270 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 3: did go to what's it called ACA, which is Adult 271 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 3: Children of Alcoholics and Dysfunctional Families, which is fascinating and 272 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 3: they have that all over the world, or that are 273 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,840 Speaker 3: they called a CoA. No, they're called ACA now. And 274 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:57,559 Speaker 3: there's also CODA, which is for codependence anonymous. Wow, so wow, 275 00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 3: codependency is really interesting. And actually this is what the 276 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 3: catalyst that made me go to SPP South Pacific Private, 277 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 3: which is the the rehab slash treatment center I went to. 278 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 3: And I was so backtrack. I was having anxiety around 279 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 3: parenting that this was my first thing and that was 280 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 3: leading to depression. So my kids were getting complex as 281 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 3: they were getting older. They were having big outbursts and 282 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 3: I it just it shines a light on you, like 283 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 3: when your parent. You know that your issues just get 284 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 3: shined right back on you by your children because you 285 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 3: have to be so strong to guide them. And I 286 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 3: just given me goosebumps just talking about it. I would 287 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 3: come away from these altercations with my child and I 288 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 3: would cry and I couldn't help them with their emotions. 289 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 3: And notice how been being very careful about saying which 290 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 3: child I'm not going to ever put my kids like 291 00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 3: I don't want to talk about their issues because they're 292 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 3: their issues. But I would come away and I would 293 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 3: just cry. And also, like my daughter is eight, and 294 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 3: that was the age I was when my kid my 295 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 3: parents split up, so there was just all this stuff 296 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 3: coming back to me. But I couldn't I couldn't unpick it. 297 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 3: I couldn't work out what was triggering me and why. 298 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 3: And so I would cry, and I'd listen to these 299 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 3: parenting podcasts like Maggie Dent and she's just so amazing, 300 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 3: and I would ball, like for an hour on my 301 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 3: way to where when whenever I was driving the car, 302 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 3: i'd just cry. And I think Mum could tell, like 303 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 3: I was telling her about it. And so I went 304 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 3: to a psychologist and he said I said to him, look, 305 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 3: I cannot have these interactions with my family, like with 306 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 3: my husband. If I have an argument or if he's 307 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 3: no if Damien is upset or angry about work, I 308 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 3: think it's all about me. I'd take it on I 309 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 3: try to fix it. If I can't fix it, then 310 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 3: I get angry and I'm like, really like vollet, like 311 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 3: I knew I was doing stuff that didn't make sense, 312 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 3: you know. And I think that's often the first thing 313 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 3: that leads you to therapy is you're like, these are 314 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 3: my patterns, and I just can't work out what's wrong 315 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 3: with me. And I told the therapist and he's like, yeah, 316 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 3: you sound like you're codependent. And I was like, what's 317 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 3: that Like, isn't that just when you're dependent on one person? 318 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 3: Or it's like I knew about like addicts and their 319 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 3: codependent spouses. But he's like, no, it's much bigger than that. 320 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 3: And he said a lot of people who have childhood 321 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 3: trauma are codependent. And it's where there's a whole list, 322 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 3: like google it if you're interested. It's fascinating. There's like 323 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 3: this checklist of symptoms. And he reckons it, like, oh god. 324 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 3: Pr Melody has written a book called Facing Codependence, and 325 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 3: she's a psychologist who is a co founder or co 326 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 3: co founded the Meadows Treatment Center in Arizona and the 327 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 3: South Pacific Private is modeled off the Meadows, and she 328 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 3: basically came up with this whole model of developmental immaturity 329 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 3: and she reckons that the majority of us have some 330 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 3: form of childhood trauma and are codependent. And the things 331 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 3: that some of the things are you're taking on the 332 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 3: people's moods sort of motions. You don't know what you 333 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 3: feel like if someone says how are you feeling? You 334 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 3: have no idea. People pleasers, they're just some of them. 335 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:12,199 Speaker 3: I'm trying to think of some of the others, but 336 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 3: that everything she said. He sent me a YouTube video 337 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:17,879 Speaker 3: of p Melody in the eighties talking about it on 338 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 3: the nineties, and I watched it with my mom and 339 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,919 Speaker 3: I was like, check, Jeck, check, Like all the things 340 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 3: just sounded like me. And he said, I used to 341 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 3: work at South Pacific Private. He said, you could do 342 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:32,200 Speaker 3: a lot of therapy to fix this this situation, or 343 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:37,159 Speaker 3: you could consider it staying in a treatment facility. And 344 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 3: I was like, don't be ridiculous. I'm fine, I'm functioning. 345 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 3: I'm going to work. Like I was showing up on 346 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 3: social media on the days that I was okay and 347 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 3: the other days I was sort of working from bed. 348 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 3: I still do a lot of that, like I'll go 349 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 3: out and I'll be all good, and then I'll retreat 350 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 3: to the bed, like it's just kind of I need 351 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:56,920 Speaker 3: to recharge and I work. And so I went on 352 00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 3: their website and they've got like little questionnaires and they 353 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:03,439 Speaker 3: had ones for you know, addiction and anxiety, and I 354 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,159 Speaker 3: did the anxiety one and I was like, yeah, you 355 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 3: could do with some help here, and the codependence one, 356 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 3: it was like yes, and they so they treat codependence 357 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:14,679 Speaker 3: like an addiction. So I started looking into their trauma 358 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 3: program that they have in there, and it was like 359 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,679 Speaker 3: a three weeks day and I said to them, I can't, like, 360 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,719 Speaker 3: I cannot leave my family for three weeks. And then 361 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,920 Speaker 3: I talked to all these different psychologists and counselors and 362 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,159 Speaker 3: people I knew around the Northern Beaches where I live 363 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 3: in Australia, and a lot of them, weirdly, like three 364 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 3: of them I spoke to had worked at South Pacific. 365 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:35,920 Speaker 2: Oh wow, oh yes, so. 366 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 3: And they were like, that place is amazing. Everyone should 367 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 3: do it. And then they said, look, just chat to 368 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 3: our psychiatrist. And I had a chat to him and 369 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,360 Speaker 3: he was amazing doctor party, and he said, if there's 370 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 3: some way you can do this sigourney he said. He said, 371 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,880 Speaker 3: you can. You can keep going like you're going, he said, 372 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:53,960 Speaker 3: but if there is any way you can find the 373 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 3: time to take this three weeks out, it will change 374 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 3: your life. 375 00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 2: Oh my goodness. 376 00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:59,879 Speaker 3: And I can't tell you how much it's changed my life. 377 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 3: I actually am about to reach my one year anniversary 378 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 3: of coming out of being going in and I was 379 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:07,479 Speaker 3: just reflecting on it this morning and I was doing 380 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:09,399 Speaker 3: my makeup, and I was thinking, if you told me 381 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,239 Speaker 3: a year ago the shell of the person that I 382 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:15,399 Speaker 3: was when I was I come, if you told me 383 00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 3: that I'd be in La you know, doing interviews to 384 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:22,439 Speaker 3: my podcast and connecting with people on such a deep level, 385 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:24,880 Speaker 3: I wouldn't have believed you. 386 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, And can I say, like, having spent time with 387 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 1: you on your pod and having you on this there's 388 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 1: you feel really clear, which I like. I I can't 389 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 1: compare it to last time because I would have seen 390 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:42,359 Speaker 1: you probably yeah years ago. Yeah, isn't that fascin Like 391 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,679 Speaker 1: to me, that's how you feel. And so it sounds 392 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 1: like it really has changed your life. 393 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,399 Speaker 3: It has it has. I think I dealt with a 394 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 3: lot of the trauma. I mean, I'm still there's still 395 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 3: stuff there, but I let go a lot of a 396 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,400 Speaker 3: lot of self limiting beliefs I had about myself which 397 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:01,640 Speaker 3: was stopping me from being successful, like really like stopping 398 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 3: me from being believing in what I was doing enough 399 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,960 Speaker 3: to really put myself out there. I always felt a 400 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 3: bit almost even though Beauty Quate was successful and everyone 401 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,440 Speaker 3: seemed to think it was great, I had this nugget 402 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 3: in beside myself that it wasn't good enough and that 403 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 3: it wasn't helping people enough. Like I knew that beauty 404 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 3: was interesting to people and like, but I sort of 405 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 3: felt and I would compare myself with friends who were 406 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 3: teachers or nurses or psychologists or and I've got one 407 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 3: of those in each of my friendship group actually at home, 408 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 3: and I would think I'm not helping. Like, you know, 409 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 3: people say, oh, it's entertaining, I love beauty, but I 410 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:51,440 Speaker 3: was like, I'm not doing enough. And so I think 411 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 3: I was being a perfectionist in my own opinion of 412 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,400 Speaker 3: myself and so yeah. So I think I came out 413 00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 3: of there and I was like, I know how I 414 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:02,920 Speaker 3: can help talk about mental health. I can shine a 415 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,200 Speaker 3: light on these experiences that we have where we feel 416 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 3: so alone, and so yeah. I grappled with the idea 417 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:11,440 Speaker 3: of coming out with my story of being in a 418 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 3: treatment center. I knew it would shock everyone because I 419 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,879 Speaker 3: had this sort of reputation for being having it all together, 420 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,400 Speaker 3: even though I was honest on my socials. But I'd 421 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 3: never talked about mental health much. I alluded to anxiety, 422 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 3: but I hadn't said how hard I found it, and 423 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 3: I had never talked about my childhood or anything. So yeah, 424 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 3: it was a big thing to do. But when I 425 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,360 Speaker 3: launched the podcast, I at the same time I came 426 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 3: out with my story on social and I had a 427 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 3: big I had a big feature in Mary Clare and 428 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 3: I just said it's all out, you know, and I 429 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,880 Speaker 3: got in undated, like just the messages that just kept 430 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:47,440 Speaker 3: me going, Like I was like, this is the right 431 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 3: thing people saying. I feel so validated, I feel so seen. 432 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 3: I'm going to go and go and see a psychologist. 433 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 3: I'm going to go to a treatment center now. And 434 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 3: I've had so many messages like that, so that felt like, Okay, 435 00:21:59,119 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 3: this is it. I'm helping. 436 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:02,919 Speaker 1: Do you know before you reached out to me and 437 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:04,920 Speaker 1: told me you were coming to LA, people had told 438 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:06,639 Speaker 1: me to get you on the pod for this reason. 439 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 2: Yeah. 440 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,399 Speaker 1: Yeah, but I'm such a stickler for real life. I 441 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,360 Speaker 1: was like, okay, we'll do it when I'm back in SIDS. 442 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,120 Speaker 3: Oh my god, I didn't know that. That's so nice. 443 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 1: It was meant to be, but like just to like 444 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,840 Speaker 1: go back on what you were saying, like it obviously 445 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,200 Speaker 1: has had a huge impact on people, and I think 446 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 1: we're in a time where. 447 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:27,640 Speaker 2: Sharing real shit. 448 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 1: Is actually really important and actually helps and touches a 449 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:33,439 Speaker 1: lot of people, And it sounds like that was an 450 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 1: important piece of the puzzle. It might have been missing 451 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:39,119 Speaker 1: for you earlier, like now knowing how much probably every 452 00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 1: single chat you have helps people in one way or 453 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 1: another exact many. 454 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 3: Exactly, and they helped me. Like I sit there and 455 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:47,639 Speaker 3: I listen to you, and I'm like, oh, I was 456 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 3: so impressed by your resilience and you're like you just 457 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 3: a matter of fact, you know, this might take take 458 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 3: a while, but I'm you know, and these are my goals. 459 00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 3: And I just was like, every single chat I have 460 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,360 Speaker 3: gives me something. And then I think, well, and it's 461 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 3: always something you'll get, Like people will be looking for something, 462 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,359 Speaker 3: you know, and they'll get something out of one of 463 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,160 Speaker 3: these podcast chats. So yeah, it's it's rewarding. 464 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,440 Speaker 1: I totally like everybody has something to share, but I 465 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 1: really want to say like thank you for sharing, like 466 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 1: so openly, not just here, but like it sounds like 467 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 1: because I know you'd been toying with the idea of 468 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,200 Speaker 1: doing a pod for a little while, and it probably 469 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 1: was meant to be that you did, like share that 470 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:33,200 Speaker 1: really raw part of yourself and then do the pod 471 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,440 Speaker 1: and everything, because you've also set up a space where 472 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: everyone feels very safe to be vulnerable with you off 473 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:39,679 Speaker 1: the back of that. 474 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's exactly right. And I think and that it 475 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,720 Speaker 3: wasn't preordained or anything. It just kind of happened like that. 476 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 3: Like I realized as I was working on the podcast, 477 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,879 Speaker 3: and it was funny. I reshot the intro three times, 478 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,440 Speaker 3: I you know, toyed with the name. It probably took 479 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,199 Speaker 3: I was. I had sort of the outline of it 480 00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 3: before I went in, but when I came out, it 481 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 3: all just sort of solidified. And yeah, and then I 482 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 3: realized I have to start telling people, like, you know, 483 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:08,879 Speaker 3: I have to start making them feel as safe as 484 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 3: they can before we even chat start chatting. 485 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,399 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm a big believer in that one too.

And I 510 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 3: went through a stage where I was really good at 511 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 3: taking like the cursortan and the NMN, but then I 512 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:40,359 Speaker 3: started having reflux issues and that eclipsed everything in the 513 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,159 Speaker 3: longevity space. Because I've been trying to get to the 514 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:45,160 Speaker 3: bottom of that and I think I actually I believe 515 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:48,920 Speaker 3: so much about the mind body connection, and so what 516 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 3: I'm really trying to do is work on my nervous system. Yes, 517 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:55,720 Speaker 3: I did. I started a whole course actually, but I 518 00:25:55,720 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 3: couldn't keep up with the curriculum Repairing the nervous system 519 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 3: with Jessica Maguire and it's fantastic and I learned a 520 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 3: lot in just the bits that I did, and I 521 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:11,200 Speaker 3: and it's really cool embodiment practices or what she calls 522 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:15,720 Speaker 3: bio resources, so just you know, being having the exter 523 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:21,880 Speaker 3: reception and the inter reception. Oh yeah, so sitting then 524 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 3: in your space. And also I'm working with a therapist 525 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 3: at the moment who is really cool. He's got me 526 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,359 Speaker 3: just tuning in with myself multiple times a day and 527 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 3: just being like what do I need, what do I feel? 528 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 3: And that just the simple sorts of things where I'm 529 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,639 Speaker 3: so and it might be my ADHD that I was 530 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,399 Speaker 3: diagnosed with add I was diagnosed with the start of 531 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 3: the year, at the end of last year. But I'm 532 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:53,399 Speaker 3: very not very in touch with my body. So you know, 533 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 3: when people like nutritionists or people my mom says, oh 534 00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 3: I don't feel good after I eat that, I've got 535 00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 3: no idea. I just maybe get refluxed. But I can't 536 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 3: never even connect what I've eaten I'm just so off 537 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:08,119 Speaker 3: in my head. So having that kind of embodiment practice 538 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,479 Speaker 3: and trying to like dial in. And and then I 539 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 3: interviewed Jane Wherwand the other day who's the founder of Dermalogica, 540 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:18,680 Speaker 3: and she's amazing. So she every morning she goes out 541 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,480 Speaker 3: into the garden. This is her non negotiable and she 542 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:25,199 Speaker 3: stands there and she connects to the she stands in 543 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,159 Speaker 3: like mountain pos and connects to the ground and then 544 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,720 Speaker 3: she connects her I know this sounds weird, but she'd 545 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:32,560 Speaker 3: have describes it so much better than me. But like 546 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,480 Speaker 3: she she kind of connects her head to the universe, 547 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:39,199 Speaker 3: like and she feels like she says, I just connect in. 548 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 3: And she's incredibly intuitive and she really and she really 549 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:47,360 Speaker 3: believes in her crystals and things she is, so she's 550 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,639 Speaker 3: being guided in what she needs to do, like she 551 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:51,960 Speaker 3: and she says, you just are curious and you're open 552 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,920 Speaker 3: to everything and you see things and they So I'm 553 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,200 Speaker 3: starting to like and it's all very like I've never 554 00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,840 Speaker 3: been very woo woo, but I really believe in energy 555 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 3: and I and I know I don't know about crystals yet, 556 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 3: but I think that I think we I think what 557 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:10,440 Speaker 3: we need to do is, yeah, meditation. I'm a vedic meditator, 558 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 3: but I'm I'm elapsed, you know. 559 00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:13,399 Speaker 2: I think we are. 560 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 3: And I love it. I love it, but I can't 561 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 3: at the moment. It's just I can't sit still because 562 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:23,639 Speaker 3: I'm so excited about life and working and so I 563 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 3: wake up often at four or five and I jump 564 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 3: out of bed and I work, and so it's very 565 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 3: hard for me to just stop. But I know that's 566 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,240 Speaker 3: probably my biggest lesson in life is to come my 567 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,280 Speaker 3: nervous system. So to answer you in a very long way, 568 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 3: it's just yeah, finding those moments of peace, dialing in, 569 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:45,720 Speaker 3: tuning in, being intuitive. I started doing mind Valley, which 570 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:49,120 Speaker 3: is an app, and I started learning the silver Mine method. 571 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,760 Speaker 3: Oh cool, I don't know, Yeah, it's really cool and 572 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 3: vision I'm like, And I did that for like a 573 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 3: couple of months and then I got too busy, and 574 00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,200 Speaker 3: it's still every day it goes learn with Mine Valley, 575 00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:02,680 Speaker 3: and I'm like, shit, I should be doing that.

It's kind of like 581 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 3: the secret. It's kind of like manifesting, but it's like 582 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 3: it's it's a more it's almost like a hypnotherapy version 583 00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:28,920 Speaker 3: of that. So you hypnotize yourself. You'll love this. I 584 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 3: think you need to check it out. And you hypnotize 585 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 3: yourself and you go into a state and then you 586 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,760 Speaker 3: it's like visualize aerzation on steroids.

And you know, it wasn't put of 822 00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:28,640 Speaker 3: a mental health hack. I was like, you know, therapy 823 00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:32,200 Speaker 3: sounds lengthy and expensive, and they were like, well, your 824 00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:34,879 Speaker 3: health cover will cover this stay. So I was like, great, 825 00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:36,640 Speaker 3: I'll just go in and do all my therapy and 826 00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:37,600 Speaker 3: I'll come back fixed. 827 00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:40,400 Speaker 1: I love it, I mean, but the good thing is 828 00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:42,840 Speaker 1: it was essentially probably like jumping out of a plane 829 00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:45,680 Speaker 1: and then you then you were like, actually, yes, this 830 00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:47,319 Speaker 1: is a non negotiable for me, like. 831 00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:49,640 Speaker 3: Totally, And the amount of work I did in that 832 00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:53,400 Speaker 3: three weeks was like incredible. All I didn't have my phone, 833 00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:56,000 Speaker 3: I didn't have my laptop, I didn't have contact with 834 00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:59,040 Speaker 3: anyone outside like I just my phone call with the kids, 835 00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:01,400 Speaker 3: like I was allowed to speak to them on a phone, 836 00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:08,320 Speaker 3: but having that three weeks to just switch off, unplug 837 00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:10,600 Speaker 3: and they weren't even like you weren't even allowed to 838 00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:13,560 Speaker 3: watch TV, read papers. They had like you know, a 839 00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:17,840 Speaker 3: movie night and like trivia night and art therapy. But 840 00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:20,400 Speaker 3: there was no sense of what was going on in 841 00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:22,920 Speaker 3: the world, no sense of trying to keep up. There was. 842 00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:26,200 Speaker 3: It was so magical that, you know, having been a 843 00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:29,520 Speaker 3: media person for you know, twenty years, to have that 844 00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:33,239 Speaker 3: switch off was just, Oh, I think everyone should do it. 845 00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:35,759 Speaker 3: I wish there were I wish there were retreats in 846 00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:42,400 Speaker 3: places that were more psychologically based and trauma based that 847 00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:44,680 Speaker 3: I mean, you get a little better that that health retreats, 848 00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:46,760 Speaker 3: but it's kind of packaged up for a health retreating 849 00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:49,480 Speaker 3: a SPA.
