1
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:05,440
Speaker 1: Welcome to your Diary episode. Here's the thing. I'm a

2
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:08,720
Speaker 1: bit of a nomad, so these episodes come to you

3
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:12,039
Speaker 1: from wherever I'm living or traveling to at the time,

4
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 1: so I'll share with you what's going on in my world,

5
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:22,080
Speaker 1: from book tours, animal encounters, delish meals, nature adventures, health discoveries,

6
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,799
Speaker 1: to swimming in hidden Byron Bay Beaches. Come with me

7
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,159
Speaker 1: as I share my adventures with you.

8
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 2: Hello, Ala Diary.

9
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: So last time we checked in, it was an episode

10
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 1: with Matt and I and we just basically gave you

11
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: a lay of the land of what was going on

12
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: with the wildfires. I just did a quick check of

13
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 1: current containment and the Eaten Fire, which is the Pasadena fire.

14
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 1: I believe it is a forty five percent, no fifty

15
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: five percent containment. There's this app called watch Duty, and

16
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: it just it's so good. You literally just click on

17
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: the fire and it gives you a full breath down

18
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: up to date details. So the Eaten Fire, the big

19
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: Pasadena fire, is fifty five percent containment, which is I

20
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: want to say, quite positive because it's sat at thirty

21
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 1: for a while, thirty five for a while. And the

22
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: Pacific Palisades one is now at twenty two percent containment.

23
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:26,759
Speaker 1: Now to give you context for the last like since

24
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: I would say even like up to yesay, it was

25
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: fourteen percent containment, So this feels like a bit of

26
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 1: a wind. But there are fires more in Venturer area.

27
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: There's a fire called the Auto Fire that's an eighty

28
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: five percent containment. So it is Thursday here in La.

29
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: I know Friday for most of the listeners who are

30
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: in Australia, but this is the day where the winds

31
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: are meant to come a little bit. So a lot

32
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: of people are calling this the transition day, so hopefully

33
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: things come down a little bit. I am recording this

34
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: because Boss and I have just come from set. I

35
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: went on a TV show here called KTLA, and I

36
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: just went on and put my nutrition hat on and

37
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: did a segment all about helping to manage oxidative stress

38
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: when it comes to smoke in the air. So we

39
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 1: know that smoke causes oxidave stress in our bodies, which

40
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: means we need more antioxidants to combat this ox dave stress.

41
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 1: So things that are anti inflammatory and things that helped

42
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 1: to mitigate free radical damage. So I went on and

43
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: did a segment about water quality foods, really high antioxidant foods,

44
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: foods really high in gludathion, which we know is a

45
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: antioxidant great for lung health and DNA damage. And then

46
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: we talk supplements as well, but I just wanted to

47
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: make it really accessible to people that can, you know,

48
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 1: hopefully duck down to a local wherever they get their

49
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: fresh fruit and veggies and be able to get some

50
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 1: of these ingredients. Were really focused on whole foods and

51
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: teas and things that are a little bit you know,

52
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 1: more accessible than supplements. Like you know, we all know

53
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: it's so important to be taking vitamin C in times

54
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: like this, a nac amigas as well. So yeah, it

55
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: was really it was really fascinating doing this segment because

56
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: because of the fires and all the breaking news with

57
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: the fires, this segment was booked and canceled four times,

58
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: and so it's just so interesting live news when things

59
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: break and like being ready and then going on like yeah,

60
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: it's just fascinating and so such a brilliant career lesson

61
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: for me because I've done more television in Australia where

62
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: you book your seggy and you're up, you bring your

63
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: props or you make your recipe and Bob's your uncle,

64
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: you know. Whereas this was like, Lola, if the winds

65
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: go in this direction, the segment won't air. If this

66
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: happens overnight, the segment went.

67
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 2: It's so it's been just so fascinating and I'm so.

68
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: Grateful that they got me on and I'm really happy

69
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 1: that I got to do a segment that hopefully will

70
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:26,119
Speaker 1: help people. So that was our morning with the Boss

71
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: and I. Both Boss and I have had a bit

72
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: of respiratory issues and found it a little tricky to

73
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: breathe and things like that. So we're sneaking away just

74
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: for a night, just to get fresh air in our

75
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: lungs for a night reset and then come back. All

76
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: systems go in la. So we're sneaking off to Joshua

77
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: Tree and just giving ourselves a tiny little reset to

78
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,359
Speaker 1: get some fresh air. Because I just also feel like

79
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but I had a therapy

80
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: session and I was like, I can't focus on anything,

81
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,679
Speaker 1: I can't get anything done, I can't help people. I'm

82
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: like my brain is a jumble, like it feels like

83
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: I'm scrambled in my brain. And my therapist said, like,

84
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: you're literally living in a toxic environment. Right now, you're

85
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: inhaling all of these toxins, and that's why it's hard

86
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,359
Speaker 1: for you to breathe, and it's hard for boss to breathe,

87
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: and that's why you've got like low level anxiety because

88
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,359
Speaker 1: you know that there's this constant sense of danger. Like

89
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: we check that what shuitty fire rapp like I don't know,

90
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: like one hundred times a day because you don't. When

91
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: we saw the fire that was really close to us,

92
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: it grew from ten acres to sixty in about thirty

93
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: minutes and it just begun as the sun went down,

94
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 1: like it was.

95
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 2: We were like what.

96
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:53,119
Speaker 1: So it's just been a really like anxiety inducing time

97
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: and so we've just Matt just said record your pod

98
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 1: and then we're packing our stuff and we're just getting

99
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: out for a night and just making it so so

100
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: easy and just giving ourselves a night to just relax

101
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: and reset and reclibrate and just take some time from

102
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: mental health to be honest. So that's us my friends

103
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: and I will share as much that kind of the

104
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: KTLA stuff online so that you know, if you're in

105
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: Australia wherever you are, hopefully you can hopefully you get

106
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,359
Speaker 1: to see it. And to all my mates that have

107
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 1: supported me, thank you so much. As you know, like

108
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 1: working in television in America is a real dream of

109
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 1: mine as well. And I guess what today feels good

110
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: because it was just genuinely to help people and hopefully

111
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: share some things that they can implement and feel a

112
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: little a little more empowered when it comes.

113
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 2: To their health. So yeah, that is me, guys. That

114
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 2: is my Friday update.

115
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: I do want to like preface and say, like, if

116
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 1: you do feel like overwhelmed or anxious about anything, booking

117
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: with your therapist or booking with a therapist or counselor

118
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: it's a really great way to just kind of like

119
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: calm the storm and to have perspective. Because I was

120
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: getting all this guilt and like guilt around not being

121
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: productive and guilt around not helping enough and guilt and

122
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: I was just like, oh, my goodness, and my therapist

123
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: is like, you've got to look after yourself and then

124
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: you can help others. And so I hope that me

125
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: sharing that empowers you if you feel like when you

126
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: look after your.

127
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 2: Mental health at all. But that is me, gang.

128
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,280

Speaker 2: So yeah, we're still finding it a

132
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: Little tricky de breeze, So we just we just want

133
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,280
