So 44 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 1: I guess this podcast is about fucking up. Really, it's 45 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: about failing because I think Instagram celebrates all the good 46 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 1: shit and it's like kind of like a highlight reel 47 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,919 Speaker 1: for life. So the reason why I wanted to get 48 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 1: you on here is because I know that you've kind 49 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: of like gone against the grain to create this business, 50 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 1: to create to be in this industry and to keep 51 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: your own integrity. You're using obviously social media to you know, 52 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: generate business, and I just I find your story fascinating. 53 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: And then when I delved a bit deeper and got 54 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: onto your website and looked into your bio, and I'm 55 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 1: a virgo, so I like to know all the facts 56 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 1: before a podcast.

It was really dark, 173 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 2: and I really missed out on a lot of life, 174 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 2: to be honest, and I spent a lot of days 175 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 2: just in bed, really depressed, suffered heaps of anxiety, especially 176 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 2: social anxiety, and basically I was battling eating disorder. So 177 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 2: namely Bilimia spent so much time just focusing on food 178 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 2: all the time and worrying about food constantly, either buying 179 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 2: food or throwing up food or eating food or you know, 180 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 2: that was basically my life. 181 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: Ask how long that phased? 182 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 3: Ten years?

I was twenty one and I 190 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 2: was about to go overseas. I was about to move overseas, 191 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 2: and I said to my GP, I think there's something 192 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 2: wrong with me. 193 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 3: I've got this is what I'm doing, and I can't stop. 194 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 3: I don't know how to stop this. And and she said, well, 195 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,560 Speaker 3: that's bulimia. You need to go. You have to go 196 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 3: and see a psychologist. And I left. 197 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:39,839 Speaker 1: I left it. 198 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 3: I didn't do anything about it. 199 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 2: I just went overseas and thought if I moved away, 200 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 2: then I a problems, which. 201 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 1: We've all tried to do so just for people that 202 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 1: might be like eating disorder is just a mental condition, 203 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 1: but blame me or as specifically, you'd often potentially gorge 204 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,439 Speaker 1: or binge and then and then purge, right, yeah, yeah, 205 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 1: and that was kind of your cycle. Did it just 206 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 1: come up in times of stress or that was something 207 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: that was like an very much part of your everyday life. 208 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 3: It was every day for a very long time. Yeah. 209 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 1: As I got better, it got better reously, but. 210 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 2: For a very long time it was every day, sometimes 211 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 2: a lot of times a day, okay. 212 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 1: And there was guilt with certain food or was it 213 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 1: a response to stress, was like I'm really stressed at 214 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 1: the moment, I'm just not going to keep my food down. Yeah, 215 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 1: I think it was. 216 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 3: It was. 217 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 2: I think at the start it was probably just that 218 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 2: it was just a response to stress, and I just 219 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 2: found a way to deal with it. And obviously you 220 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 2: get the hit, right, the dope mean rush that comes 221 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 2: with doing anything like that, any kind of addiction gives 222 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 2: you that, and that formed into a habit, and over 223 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 2: time it was just such a habit that it didn't 224 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:59,199 Speaker 2: matter matter even when I was extremely happy or extremely sad, 225 00:11:59,240 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 2: it actually didn't matter. 226 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 1: It was just a part of you. 227 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 3: She's part of me now. 228 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 1: That you can look back at that time and nameingly 229 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 1: the eating disorder.

Whereas if there's something that I'm stressed about, 280 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 1: I'm moving into a scenario where I might not have 281 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 1: control or might feel like I'm being judged. That's when 282 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 1: my stuff.

That was where you know, the 289 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 3: bathroom was very used to throw up. 290 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's it is a It is a trigger. 291 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 3: And even even going to certain. 292 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 2: Shopping shopping centers or places that I used to do 293 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 2: and foods that I used to do do what with 294 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 2: a lot that would trigger me as well. 295 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 1: So did you binge as well? Or did human? Yeah? 296 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 1: The delight in binging, I don't think anyone would understand 297 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 1: unless they've done it. But it's like in the moment, 298 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 1: you're just like, I can have everything I want, and 299 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,480 Speaker 1: I got so bad. This is when I was like, really, 300 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 1: I shouldn't even make a joke of about it. But 301 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 1: I'd have a list of all the things I'd eat 302 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 1: on my binge day. You were such a virgo, Yeah 303 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 1: that's to do. And I'd literally ticked off me, like, yep, 304 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 1: went for that smash nabo there and it's all healthy up. 305 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 1: But I would just have like six days worth of 306 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 1: food in one day. Like I would go to the 307 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 1: point of feeling sick. I never was good at I 308 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:08,960 Speaker 1: don't like vomit, so I always just put weight on 309 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 1: when I binged. I kept it all in. But it 310 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 1: unless you've done it, you don't like. I mean, some 311 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 1: people be like, oh, yeah, I know what you're talking about. 312 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 1: I ate too many chocolates some day. I'm like, it's 313 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 1: nothing like that. Time's that by like, and there's this 314 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 1: sense of self loathing. All interlace with it and then 315 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 1: throw gills into it and then throw shame into it, 316 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 1: and it becomes this vortex of like and then you're 317 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 1: jacking a serotonin up. If it's got any sugar in 318 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 1: it as well, because the body's inflamed, and so it's like, ah, 319 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 1: I must protect myself. I'm being attacked, and so you 320 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 1: feel good at the same time, it's this really fucked 321 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 1: up kind of vortex that you get sucked into. So 322 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 1: it's really cool you've shared that, because I haven't spoken 323 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 1: anyone else on here about eating disorders, and I think 324 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 1: it's still a very prevalent thing, especially we can see 325 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 1: on Instagram. Yes, yeah, and you and I both spoke 326 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 1: at an event recently, and you know those girls that 327 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 1: also spoke who were big, you know, influencers.

I actually think like the first I also see 512 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 1: a therapist, and the first few months, I was like, oh, 513 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,360 Speaker 1: my mom and dad are shit. Like I was blaming 514 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:15,119 Speaker 1: them because when you first start therapy, you often go 515 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 1: back to childhood things that have happened that they become 516 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:19,239 Speaker 1: triggers the way that you are as an adult and 517 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,720 Speaker 1: you're coping mechanisms, and so I would remember all these 518 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,760 Speaker 1: like just little niggerly things that mum or dad had said, 519 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:27,400 Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, no, I need space away 520 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 1: from them because they're the whole reason that I'm fucked 521 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,720 Speaker 1: up right now. And then as the therapy goes on, 522 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,160 Speaker 1: you realize they're actually fucking amazing human beings, but they're 523 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,320 Speaker 1: also just human beings trying to do the best they 524 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:40,720 Speaker 1: can and they are going to fuck up. I'm going 525 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 1: to fuck up as a parent one day, you know 526 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 1: what I mean. And as soon as you get past that, 527 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,439 Speaker 1: you're like, oh, they're actually pretty cool, and actually they 528 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 1: did a really awesome job, and I probably would do 529 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 1: much like I would aspire to do that good of 530 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 1: a job. And I think, yeah, it is our own 531 00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 1: responsibility to face our own shit learn from it. And 532 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 1: I think as well, what I love about you is, yes, 533 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 1: you are all about energy work, but like that's one 534 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,240 Speaker 1: form of self care.

You 791 00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:25,759 Speaker 1: touched on it just before about like the ear thing 792 00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:28,600 Speaker 1: and listening and the metaphysical side. Just for people that 793 00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:31,440 Speaker 1: don't know much about metaphysical healing or what that kind 794 00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:36,480 Speaker 1: of means, can you, in a nutshell explain what metaphysics is? Yeah? 795 00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:37,520 Speaker 3: Sure, I guess. 796 00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:40,840 Speaker 1: I guess. When we in this type. 797 00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:43,880 Speaker 2: Of work that we do, so energy healing, quite often 798 00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:47,719 Speaker 2: people will come to see you and they a lot 799 00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:49,920 Speaker 2: of the times they come with an emotional sort of issue, 800 00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:53,440 Speaker 2: but at the back end they're also struggling with something 801 00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:54,319 Speaker 2: physical going on. 802 00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:57,000 Speaker 1: Back pain pain, Yeah, you're right, you know what. 803 00:39:57,040 --> 00:40:01,120 Speaker 2: I recurring cough that won't go away, that kind of stuff. 804 00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:07,720 Speaker 2: And it's really important to note that because the belief 805 00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:11,000 Speaker 2: is that everything about us is connected, right, So at 806 00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:12,480 Speaker 2: a soul level, there's. 807 00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:15,840 Speaker 3: Also the physical and emotional. Everything is connected. 808 00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:19,560 Speaker 2: So whatever's going on for you physically is a message 809 00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:23,160 Speaker 2: to you from your body to say, hey, hey, this 810 00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:26,279 Speaker 2: needs attention here. So in my case with the ear 811 00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:29,840 Speaker 2: it's hey, you're not listening to something that's really important here. 812 00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:32,480 Speaker 1: And they say, the more you ignore it, the worse 813 00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:34,680 Speaker 1: that can get. In yoga, when I teach you in 814 00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:37,160 Speaker 1: yoga and we talk to there's a pose called half 815 00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:40,080 Speaker 1: pigeon or sleeping sworn. It's a hip opener, and we 816 00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:44,400 Speaker 1: say hips hold our current energy and our current emotional shit. 817 00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:47,359 Speaker 1: When I say energy, sorry, your current emotional energy. So like, 818 00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:50,960 Speaker 1: whatever you're facing now, it's uncomfortable now. And the amount 819 00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:54,040 Speaker 1: of times like literally you don't even talk to it, 820 00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:56,520 Speaker 1: and you're just like, hey, guys, let's get into half pigeon. 821 00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,279 Speaker 1: End of the class.

But it's different to white sage. So 848 00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:16,759 Speaker 1: if you want to do a cleanse at home, or 849 00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:19,640 Speaker 1: you've moved into a new apartment, or you're just like 850 00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:21,799 Speaker 1: I've had a shit fucking week and I want to 851 00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:25,040 Speaker 1: reset my energy, you can buy Palo Sando from like 852 00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:27,880 Speaker 1: health store, some health stores, hippy kind of crystal stores. 853 00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:29,800 Speaker 1: Tell me about Palo Santo. 854 00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:35,440 Speaker 2: It's basically called holywood, and it's from South America, usually 855 00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:40,640 Speaker 2: Ecuador or Peru. And basically you've got to wait until 856 00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:44,520 Speaker 2: the wood has fallen from the trees for it to 857 00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:47,479 Speaker 2: be sacred and for it to really work, the energy 858 00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:51,600 Speaker 2: needs to So you can't chop down a brand new tree. 859 00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:52,919 Speaker 1: Col I didn't know that. 860 00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:58,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, otherwise it doesn't have the same yeah, same energy. 861 00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:02,719 Speaker 1: So there's a lot of shitty sustainable, shitty stuff. Yeah, 862 00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:03,839 Speaker 1: so look for sustainable. 863 00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:05,880 Speaker 3: Is that what you're saying. Yeah, it's really important. 864 00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:09,239 Speaker 1: And you can tell because they're darker. Then that one's 865 00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:09,960 Speaker 1: a big mother. 866 00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:11,359 Speaker 3: That is a big, chunky one. 867 00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:15,320 Speaker 1: Yeah. And so the reason why I use Palo santo 868 00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:17,919 Speaker 1: when I teach yoga and so I like it because 869 00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:20,080 Speaker 1: I know that it clears the energy, cleanses the energy, 870 00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:22,279 Speaker 1: but it also invites positivity and is that right? 871 00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:23,480 Speaker 3: Yeah it does. 872 00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:26,520 Speaker 1: Versus white sage that just is more of a cleanser. Yeah. 873 00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:30,480 Speaker 2: White sage is great for cleansing, especially if you've got 874 00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:32,759 Speaker 2: really dense shit stuff going on. 875 00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:36,920 Speaker 1: It's like lamb chops. Yeah, it's pretty gross, actually roast. 876 00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:39,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of people don't like it, but it 877 00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:42,120 Speaker 2: is good for really removing heavy, heavy stuff. 878 00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:43,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good tip. 879 00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:45,880 Speaker 1: Oh my god, Okay, I could talk to you all 880 00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:49,399 Speaker 1: day long.

And that sounds like 886 00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:08,920 Speaker 1: a morbid thing to say, but I think the darkness 887 00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:10,840 Speaker 1: is kind of like what brings the lightness, and at 888 00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:13,000 Speaker 1: least it makes us kind of like go for that, 889 00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:16,799 Speaker 1: Like you know, when you're on the right path, you're like, 890 00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:18,360 Speaker 1: I don't want to be back in the shit, Like 891 00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:20,279 Speaker 1: I know, I don't want to have an eating disorder again. 892 00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:22,800 Speaker 1: I'll feel that trigger and be like sit with it, 893 00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:26,000 Speaker 1: learn from it, and find the lighters.
