00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 3: I used to haven't done it in a while, but

120
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 3: I used to do like a writing retreat. I'd go

121
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 3: for a week and sit in a cabin and swim

122
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 3: in the creek every day.

123
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: This is advice I give to anybody. So a lot

124
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: of people come to me for book mentoring, like I've

125
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: seen you do courses in it as well. And the

126
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: biggest piece of advice I give to people, like change

127
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 1: your environment. You might go and book an airbnb, even

128
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: if it's for two or three nights, just to get

129
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 1: your like it changes.

130
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 2: Your every time. It never lets you down.

131
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 1: Ever, it's the biggest trick in the book, is like

132
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: even if you do a housewalk with a mate, like

133
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,239
Speaker 1: you've just got to change in euro chemistry.

134
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 2: Bit. Okay, do you have a fear?

135
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 3: Yes, I am incredibly coostrophobic.

136
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, yeah, how do you fly?

137
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 3: Well? I was going to say, like, I feel it

138
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,919
Speaker 3: the most on flights. I'm fine with short haul, but

139
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 3: as soon as it's long haul and my bright, my

140
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 3: little virgo moon brain starts going, I couldn't get off

141
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 3: this if and if I wanted to. Yeah, that's when

142
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 3: I start to freak out a bit. The thought of

143
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,359
Speaker 3: like being When I was a kid, I got locked

144
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 3: in the cupboard of a caravan by accident.

145
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 2: There for hours it was hot, and I.

146
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that that's probably my biggest fear. But I

147
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 3: don't fear things like death or darkness or anything. The

148
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 3: most common answer is death, isn't that Yeah? No, I

149
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 3: don't either. No, they say.

150
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 1: You love like so when you say to people beat

151
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: or forest, and I always go forest.

152
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

153
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 2: They that psychologically got to do with not fearing death. Really,

154
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 2: how weird?

155
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 1: That's so interest because it's dark, like it's a darker

156
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: place to choose to be very interesting when you talk

157
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 1: to you about that all day long. Okay, what's something

158
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: that's moved you recently the author? There'd be a lot.

159
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 3: Yeah. Actually, I don't know if this is going to

160
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 3: be surprising to people, but I read Emma Carry's book

161
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 3: The Girl Who Fell from the Sky.

162
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 2: Yes, and you've interviewed her, interviewed her on.

163
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 3: The pod, and I was when I read that book,

164
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 3: I was going through a bit of a moment of

165
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 3: feeling sorry for myself about something I can't remember what

166
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 3: it was, and it just really put everything into perspective

167
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 3: for me. I cried several times reading it. It really

168
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 3: moved me. And she's a brilliant.

169
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 2: Writer and speakers. It's beautiful. She's incredible. So that, yeah,

170
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 2: that would be it. Oh, there you go. There's everyone's

171
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 2: summer reading sorted.

172
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: Okay, this is going to be a tricky one, okay,

173
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: and probably, now that you've taught me so much about astrology,

174
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: a weird one to ask you. But do you have

175
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: a favorite star sign or the qualities of a star

176
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: sign that you like?

177
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 3: Yeah?

178
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 2: For sure?

179
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 3: For it. You can't judge any star signs, and you

180
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 3: can't have favorites. But I am really drawn to scorpios.

181
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we're saying men scorpios here because they're a.

182

Speaker 2: Yeah, but this is true.

184
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 3: I like the depths in which they're willing to go.

185
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 3: They can be a bit secretive.

186
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 2: I don't know.

187
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,280

188
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,480
