It's a 25 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: big open conversation about breaking up with toxic diet culture 26 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: and deconstructing BS beauty standards, which you guys know I'm 27 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: super passionate about. And what better person to do this 28 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: with than Madeleine Giajetta. I know I probably just butchered 29 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: her name and I'm so sorry Madeleine. If you are listening, 30 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,080 Speaker 1: I have tried to pronounce it so many times, but 31 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,639 Speaker 1: I'm sure you guys know who I'm talking about. 32 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 2: So if you. 33 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 1: Aren't familiar with Madeleine, she is a fitness influencer with 34 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 1: a following of over one million across her platforms. She's 35 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: a certified personal trainer and entrepreneur and creator of her 36 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: work it with mg app. In our chat today, Madeleine 37 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 1: tells us how her fitness journey all began back in 38 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen with a popular workout program and how she 39 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 1: grew her following organically with transformation photos that would go viral. Eventually, 40 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 1: Madeleine started to notice toxic messaging that was perpetuated throughout 41 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: the fitness industry, which led her to break up with 42 00:02:55,960 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 1: diet culture and totally overhaul her message. This movie You've 43 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 1: Came with its share of backlash and she lost over 44 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty thousand followers. What I amaya so 45 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 1: much about Madeline is her strength and how she dealt 46 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 1: with the circumstances with so much compassion. We get down 47 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 1: to what happens when you overhaul your message once you 48 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: have already built your audience. We also chat about business 49 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,959 Speaker 1: and we share resources of how you can read between 50 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: the lines of beauty standards that run rampant on social media. Also, 51 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 1: at the start of the episode, Mattie tells us she 52 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,640 Speaker 1: just got back from an overseas trip. Listening back to 53 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: that part of the CONFO and the idea of travel 54 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: seriously feels surreal. I hope you're all doing well right 55 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: now with everything happening, and you find some comfort or 56 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: joy in listening to this episode.

But before we do that, something I 67 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 1: asked all my guests is what season they're currently in. 68 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: And so to give you a bit of a context 69 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 1: of this question is I believe that we're all in 70 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 1: certain seasons and it's really important to honor the season 71 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: we're in because you know, that's what it is, realizing 72 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 1: that it's just that a season. So give us a 73 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: snapshot of what current season you're in. 74 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 3: Well, I've recently been on the road traveling for the 75 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 3: past ten months and I'm back in Perth now, been 76 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 3: all over. I was in Mexico, America, Italy, China. So 77 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,160 Speaker 3: now I'm just really wanting to kind of have a 78 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 3: space and a place that i can feel grounded and 79 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 3: get back to some of that instructur and routine. I 80 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 3: really felt like I was missing I am quite like 81 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 3: a spur of the moment kind of person than who 82 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 3: does not really run on organization. But I actually found 83 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 3: that I really missed that more than I thought I would. 84 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 3: So maybe this is like thorting my life out seven. 85 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: I love that. 86 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 2: I love that. 87 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 1: And so we were chatting off air, but you're currently 88 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 1: you're packing, you're getting ready to move and all that 89 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 1: sort of thing.

Yeah, 98 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: sharing that, do you want to give the audience just 99 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: a little bit of a snapshot of who are who 100 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,600 Speaker 1: those who might not know you. I have obviously done 101 00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 1: a bit of an intro, but I love when the 102 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 1: guests would in their own words. 103 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, no problems of course. So you know, I'm a 104 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:08,040 Speaker 3: health and fitness influencer, a bit like yourself, George, and 105 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 3: I think we have similar journey actually, in I think 106 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 3: we both used to be a bit more intense in 107 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 3: fitness and our bodies and how we viewed ourselves and 108 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 3: what we promoted. And then there kind of became that 109 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 3: switch from me where I really changed for more of 110 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 3: a non diet message. And because I used to promote 111 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 3: an acasing courage starting for weight loss and exercised for 112 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 3: changing the shape of your body, and was definitely part 113 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 3: of the non Excuses team, I really did believe like 114 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,280 Speaker 3: anyone could lose weight, they just had to stay focused 115 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:46,599 Speaker 3: and committed. But I've learned so much since probably the 116 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 3: past year. I've really learned a lot about that and 117 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,279 Speaker 3: being a lot more critical of the way I used 118 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,719 Speaker 3: to approach fitness and health, you know, learning that weight 119 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 3: loss is so much more complicated than you know, what 120 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 3: we say when we say no excuses. And I definitely 121 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 3: feel more comfortable now with the message I'm promoting, although 122 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 3: it has been more of a difficult journey. 123 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, because I have been following you for a very 124 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 1: long time and I've loved watching this transformation because like 125 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: you said, I have been through something similar and it 126 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 1: has actually been really cool to see the way that 127 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 1: you have navigated this transformation because a big thing. I 128 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 1: think it can feel so difficult, especially when you have 129 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 1: built a brand, a platform off a certain trying to 130 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 1: pivot and dealing with the criticism and all that sort 131 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: of stuff, which I one hundred percent want to get 132 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: into later in the episode. But before we get into that, 133 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: I just want to touch on first of all, what 134 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: was your journey like with health and fitness, Like how 135 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 1: did it begin for you. 136 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 3: I've started about four years ago. Actually, I was always 137 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 3: into exercise, I suppose in high school, but exercise in 138 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 3: the form of sports, you know, playing basketball, nothing like 139 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 3: weightlifting or anything like that. And I only really started 140 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 3: getting into it, ye as I said, four years ago 141 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 3: when I started doing I think, like everyone the BBG 142 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 3: challenged the King Body Guide and I started that with 143 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 3: my sister and we were both just kind of doing 144 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 3: it in my bedroom, just you know, doing the exercises together. 145 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 3: It was my first time like hearing about like even 146 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 3: like a mountain climber or a lashing twist or any 147 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 3: of those things. And I just started posting to my 148 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 3: Instagram account. I didn't really know what I was doing 149 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 3: at all, but it just kind of blew up organically 150 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:43,079 Speaker 3: and yeah, here we are. 151 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 1: And so did you, like what was your basis of 152 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 1: getting into health and fitness. Was it a purely you 153 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 1: wanted to look different or. 154 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely. I had been complaining for probably five years 155 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 3: about parts of my body and saying I'm going to 156 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 3: do this, I'm going to do that, and then I 157 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 3: never did. And I often say I think I am 158 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 3: one of those people that often says like, oh, I'm 159 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 3: going to do this and do that, and then maybe 160 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 3: it falls through. And so this time I was like, 161 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:15,679 Speaker 3: I'm committed to this. I'm actually going to do it 162 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 3: this time. And I think the fact that my partner 163 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 3: and my sister were like you're not, You're not, I 164 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 3: was like, hey, I am. It was a spiteful thing. 165 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:27,479 Speaker 2: I really wanted to prove them wrong. No, I love that. Yeah, 166 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 2: resonate like, no, I really have one wrong. 167 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 1: And so you started building this following on Instagram and 168 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 1: I feel it was I feel like you started gaining 169 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,559 Speaker 1: well I don't know, but I feel like it was 170 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:46,839 Speaker 1: quite a fast thing of you your following. So what 171 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 1: was that like? 172 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, it was pretty crazy, Like I remember one month, 173 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,599 Speaker 3: I gained like one hundred thousand in one month. I 174 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 3: was like, what is this? It was just I think 175 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 3: the time that I was on Instagram, and over the 176 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:03,440 Speaker 3: past to four years, fitness has exploded on Instagram in 177 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:05,560 Speaker 3: a massive way, and so I do think I was 178 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 3: in the white place at the right time, and I 179 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 3: think the kind of content that I posted was quite 180 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 3: realistic as well. So I think people like that felt 181 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 3: that there was some in a way they could trust me. 182 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 3: And it was quite easy to grow your content. So 183 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 3: you posted a transformation photo and it would get picked 184 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 3: up by King, Vogue, Cosmo, Pop Sugar, like everyone was 185 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 3: interested in it. It was definitely trending, and so it 186 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,079 Speaker 3: was a real time to kind of grow your account 187 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 3: if you had a fitness account back then. 188 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, because I often get asked about like growing your audience, 189 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 1: and I say kind and similar in regards of I 190 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 1: started my account like six years ago, and my sound 191 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 1: definitely started with a whole having a transformation photo and 192 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: it being shared a lot, and that's kind of how 193 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 1: it grew out the beginning, because it was that was 194 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 1: kind of how you did. It was so easy, and 195 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 1: I seeing your before and after photo do the rounds 196 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 1: a lot too, and it explodes. Yeah, so I wanted 197 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 1: to ask you, do you think you've got swept away 198 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 1: in the health and fitness movement. 199 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 3: Definitely. I'm naturally a really excitable, like enthusiastic person in 200 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,719 Speaker 3: terms of, like, if there is a new idea, I'll 201 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 3: get so excited by this new idea. Whatever it could 202 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,319 Speaker 3: be to do with a new business product or fits 203 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 3: to do with changing my body. I'm just I become 204 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 3: obsessed with it. I think, you know, I am an 205 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 3: entrepreneur at heart, and I do think that's part of 206 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,440 Speaker 3: what makes me who I am. It can be good 207 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,959 Speaker 3: and it can be bad, but I think you know, 208 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 3: when my Instagram was taking off, I didn't really stop 209 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 3: to ask questions and think critically. I was just thinking about, Okay, 210 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,680 Speaker 3: how can I make money from this? Basically, how can I, 211 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 3: you know, go with what I'm doing right now and 212 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 3: make this into a business. My business brain is always kicking, 213 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 3: and so I didn't really stop to think, hey, like, 214 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,320 Speaker 3: you're okay, maybe you're thinking that your body a little 215 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,320 Speaker 3: bit too much, your self esteem's gone down, and you're 216 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 3: talking about how you're feeling so much better. Are you 217 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 3: actually there wasn't really much of that critical self talk 218 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 3: because I was so focused on growing my business, making 219 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 3: the most of these opportunities, and it was exciting to 220 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 3: feel like, you know, people were listening to me and 221 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 3: watching me, and actually it was like an ego boost. 222 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 3: And when that's happening, you don't really look deep within 223 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 3: yourself to criticize yourself or be critical when things are 224 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 3: going well, because I think a lot of people why 225 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,599 Speaker 3: would they, right, they're feeling good, they're feeling great, so 226 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 3: they're not really thinking about some of the deepest stuff 227 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 3: that's going on inside. 228 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, and so let's kind of fast forward a bit. 229 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 1: So you know, you're creating this account. I know that 230 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 1: you were gaining followers fast. You were nearly up to 231 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 1: a million followers you have, you know, you had your 232 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: guides come out, and you had all this stuff happening, 233 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: Like you said it was this, I can imagine you 234 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 1: feeling very lots happening. And then there was a whole 235 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 1: shift in your content and your message. So I remember 236 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 1: the end of last year, you made this post on 237 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 1: Instagram and you were saying, you know, for the last 238 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 1: nine months, you have completely overhauled your message, your content, 239 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 1: your health and fitness app, everything, and you said that 240 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 1: it was everything was so enriched in diet culture in 241 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 1: most of your life, and now your journey has evolved 242 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 1: to one where you're learning to break up with diet 243 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 1: culture and giving that message to your audience too, which 244 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 1: is something I went through very similar in regards to 245 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 1: I did a one eighty, and I was like ditching 246 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,559 Speaker 1: the diets and that sort of thing. But I couldn't 247 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 1: even imagine. I'm someone who I had no products or 248 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 1: anything attached to me, so I couldn't imagine that process 249 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 1: of having your workout, guides, your app and all those 250 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,199 Speaker 1: different things attached to you based on your previous message 251 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 1: and then doing this complete overhaul. Can you tell us 252 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 1: about your experience in regards to why you felt the 253 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 1: need to completely overhaul. 254 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 3: I think it was a gradual process, like I'm very 255 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 3: good at, you know, compatalizing, you know, putting things into 256 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,320 Speaker 3: little boxes in my head and then not thinking about them. 257 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 3: But I think over time, you know, that starts to 258 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 3: come to the surface, and I can't really explain, like 259 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 3: why they started to come to the surface. It must 260 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 3: have been you know, small things, little things over time, 261 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 3: you know, an article here, a message from somebody, maybe 262 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 3: things flowing down and taking you know, a little bit 263 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 3: more time to think about things in more detail. But 264 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 3: there really was two ways for me when I look 265 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 3: back now you know how it affected me. And the 266 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 3: first is it was affecting me in the way that 267 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 3: I was viewing my body so like a personal part 268 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 3: of me, my obsession with changing and growing and fixing 269 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 3: how I looked, and I do feel looking back, it 270 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 3: took up a huge part on my brain space. And 271 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 3: I want to say I had no depth as a person, 272 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 3: but compared to how I feel now, I feel like 273 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 3: I have so much depth and so many layers and 274 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 3: so much more to me, Whereas I feel like I 275 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 3: was really just on my surface level back then. I 276 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 3: was too busy thinking about my body and how to 277 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 3: make money for my body that I didn't really have 278 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 3: much room for anything else. I mean. The second thing 279 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 3: that I felt was the actual influence that I was 280 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 3: having on other people. And I would still get messages saying, 281 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 3: you know, you inspire me so much with your transformation photos, 282 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 3: but they'd always be a sense of people saying, you know, 283 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 3: I wish my body looked like yours or you're my 284 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 3: goal body. How do I look like you? Or I've 285 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 3: been following this and I still don't look like have 286 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 3: your barm or have your you know, your abs. And 287 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 3: I think I just started to feel like guilty about 288 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 3: this responsibility and the message that I was having on 289 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 3: people and the impact I was creating. And you know 290 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 3: a lot of the way how I look is to 291 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 3: do with genetics, but it's also you know, I do 292 00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 3: work out, I do eat well, but there's also many 293 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,840 Speaker 3: things that other people can't do to achieve the body 294 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 3: like I have. And I feel like constantly having that, 295 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 3: like I said, no excuses mantra and posting like a 296 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 3: huge amount of images of your body, which I used 297 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 3: to do, like every photo was a meselfie if you 298 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 3: look back. Yeah, you know, I just felt like I 299 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 3: just kept repeating the same solution to people. Progressive overload. 300 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 1: I want to touch on your first point because it's funny. Literally, 301 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 1: I think last night I was on my stories and 302 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 1: I was just chatting about the fact that because I 303 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 1: my big awakening happened through learning intuitive eating, and so 304 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 1: I was chatting on my stories and I was explaining 305 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 1: that before when I was stuck in this like diet 306 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 1: culture mentality, one hundred percent what you were saying about 307 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 1: there was no depth to you. I remember, like they're 308 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 1: literally being no brain space left. Yeah, think about other things, 309 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 1: because I was so wrapped up and consumed in what 310 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,680 Speaker 1: was my next meal? How many calories was this? Should 311 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:07,399 Speaker 1: I be eating this? Should I not be eating this? 312 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 1: And then because I was very restrictive, my body was 313 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 1: in starvation mode and all I wanted to do was eat, 314 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,399 Speaker 1: and so I was so focused on what I was eating, 315 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,159 Speaker 1: how I was exercising. And then when you also have 316 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:25,479 Speaker 1: this social media presence that reinforces that, yes, this is 317 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 1: what you're doing, lots of people are watching you, this 318 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,399 Speaker 1: is what you should be doing, it is so hard 319 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:34,720 Speaker 1: to even see the broader picture. And so I love 320 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:38,399 Speaker 1: what you said about it's one hundred percent. It's like 321 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:42,160 Speaker 1: previously things did feel very surface level, but it's more 322 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 1: just the fact that we both didn't even have the 323 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 1: brain capacity because it was so consumed in what we 324 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 1: looked like and what we're doing. So I love that 325 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 1: you touched on that, and I wanted to ask you so, 326 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 1: like I said, my big thing was I started intuitive 327 00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 1: eating and then it like opened all these doors, and 328 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 1: I started reading different books. What was a big not 329 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,440 Speaker 1: necessarily big, but was there something like that for you? 330 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 1: That just started to be like, Okay, there's something here. 331 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:14,919 Speaker 3: I think it was the amount of articles that I 332 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 3: was reading. It started with one and then I would 333 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 3: read another, and then I would look into a few 334 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,160 Speaker 3: research studies. It was really. 335 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,919 Speaker 1: Articles, can you be quite specific? 336 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 3: Articles talking about why dives don't work? 337 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 1: Okay? Cool? 338 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:34,359 Speaker 3: And then reading about people's experiences with diets and what 339 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 3: that experience did to them, to their bodies, to their metabolisms, 340 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:43,639 Speaker 3: to their long term health, what that damaging effect had 341 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 3: on their lives for their rest of their lives, from 342 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,920 Speaker 3: being in colleged to diet from when they were young 343 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 3: because their bodies didn't fit, you know, the social acceptable standard. 344 00:18:55,560 --> 00:19:01,440 Speaker 3: And realizing that my message helped to perpetrate that, and 345 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:06,119 Speaker 3: that's my message was contributing even though I wasn't an 346 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 3: evil person, you know, it was contributing to weight sigma 347 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 3: and weight bias, and it wasn't helping people in the 348 00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 3: way that I wanted to help people. And that's not 349 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 3: saying that people that still have that message that they're 350 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,639 Speaker 3: bad people and they're not helping people because some people 351 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 3: still do want to lose light and some people have 352 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,880 Speaker 3: to lose weight for medical reasons or for personal reasons. 353 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 3: And that's fine like that, I understand that because the 354 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:32,119 Speaker 3: world we live in, you know, does reward dimness. But 355 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 3: for me, it was like, I don't feel comfortable promoting 356 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 3: this anymore. 357 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:42,120 Speaker 1: So run us through. What did the overhaul? You did? 358 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:42,400 Speaker 3: Say? 359 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,640 Speaker 1: It was quite a process. What did the overall look 360 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 1: like in regards to your personal message, your personal page, 361 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 1: and then your businesses? 362 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,440 Speaker 3: It was really difficult because you know what, I would 363 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,439 Speaker 3: love to say that I had a plan and I 364 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 3: wrote it all down and that I implemented things slowly 365 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:01,879 Speaker 3: and carefully, but I did not. 366 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 2: No, I yeah, I loved that. I love you went 367 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 2: full ball and I loved it. 368 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 3: I went full blown psycho like hating everyone and everything 369 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:19,160 Speaker 3: and everyone sucks. I say, I went full full blown 370 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,360 Speaker 3: angry feminists kind of like, yeah, before you find out 371 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 3: about feminism and then you find out. 372 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,359 Speaker 1: It was so I just say mad, it was so refreshing. 373 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 1: I really enjoyed it. Feel like you you could say 374 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:36,160 Speaker 1: that you were processing it yourself as through it. 375 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, it was, and you know what, it can't be 376 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 3: because you could say, look, I'm going to take six 377 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 3: months of social media, do all my research and reading 378 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 3: and thinking, and then I'm going to come back. I'm 379 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,200 Speaker 3: going to be this new person with these fully formed 380 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,919 Speaker 3: thoughts that aren't going to offend as many people, and 381 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 3: I'm going to be able to say them in the 382 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 3: right way. Like That's that's first of all, not possible 383 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,440 Speaker 3: for me personally, because I'm not like that. I don't 384 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 3: learn like that. I think learning happiness vacuum. You have 385 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 3: to be I've learnt so much, but I think of 386 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,200 Speaker 3: being and sharing my thoughts on social media, and it's 387 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 3: been a lot more difficult for me personally. But I 388 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,200 Speaker 3: didn't see the way forward if I had just taken 389 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,720 Speaker 3: time with social media and done at a learning by myself. 390 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 1: I love that you took messy action too. You were 391 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 1: just like, this is my feeling. I need to get 392 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,399 Speaker 1: that because it felt so raw and organic, and I 393 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: think that's why I did enjoy it so much. You 394 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:28,639 Speaker 1: could tell that you were kind of like, I'm just 395 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 1: to the point I can't preacha this anymore. I can't 396 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 1: talk about this. Let's go football, And you did, and 397 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:38,159 Speaker 1: so what did it look like to overhaul your workout app, because, 398 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,639 Speaker 1: like I said, I can imagine that being such a 399 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 1: heavy thing of having a certain message having a workout app, 400 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 1: and I know how much time and effort goes into 401 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:52,680 Speaker 1: an app. It's extraordinary. So how did that look then 402 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:54,119 Speaker 1: slowly changing the app? 403 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it was like fuss anyway, important not 404 00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,680 Speaker 3: to be overwhelmed and to be as kind as we 405 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 3: could when we received questions about why this was still 406 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:04,919 Speaker 3: there while we were doing this, you know, because we 407 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,479 Speaker 3: still had programs with diet culture language, we were still 408 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:13,359 Speaker 3: encouraging calorie counting, and there was still a lot about 409 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 3: my content even that talked about fout loss. And so 410 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 3: it was just going through all the parts of the 411 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,679 Speaker 3: apps and saying, okay, like what's that culture, what's not, 412 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 3: talking to other friends and professionals for their opinion and 413 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 3: advice on what we should take out, what we should 414 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 3: add in, and then also just thinking gentle in ourselves 415 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 3: because we knew we couldn't click our faint fingers and 416 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,440 Speaker 3: make it happen overnight, but we also knew that we 417 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 3: could make it happen, And then kind of just prioritizing 418 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:38,920 Speaker 3: what was the most important thing to do. For the instance, 419 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 3: for me, the calories was really important. So we made that, 420 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,160 Speaker 3: you know, a function that you could turn the calories 421 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 3: on and off. Didn't want to remove them altogether, because 422 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 3: I do think some people do find it important to 423 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,199 Speaker 3: see how much they're eating. It could be for a 424 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 3: variety of personal reasons. But to have that option to say, actually, 425 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 3: I don't want to look at that number because that 426 00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,399 Speaker 3: triggers me. I thought that was a great idea of. 427 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:03,879 Speaker 1: For us to have. Yeah, amazing. And so you also 428 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,200 Speaker 1: said in that post that I was talking about previously 429 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:10,639 Speaker 1: that you did receive a lot of criticism for overhauling 430 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 1: and have like pivoting, and I wanted to chat to 431 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 1: you about what was that like and how did you 432 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:17,920 Speaker 1: cope with that criticism. 433 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 3: I did not post, well, it's not not at or 434 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 3: I was an absolute mess, Like I am such a 435 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:34,040 Speaker 3: natural born people pleaser. And the thought was anybody a stranger, 436 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,879 Speaker 3: a friend, anybody not liking me absolutely kills me. You 437 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:42,960 Speaker 3: have to like me. It's just necessary. And so you know, 438 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 3: when I found that people didn't like me, not only 439 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 3: didn't like me, but put time and effort into creating 440 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 3: posts about me. YouTube trol videos about me that have 441 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 3: hundreds of thousands of view comments, people sending their fans 442 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,240 Speaker 3: kind of to my page to sploit hate to me. 443 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 3: It was so overwhelmed, and my anxiety and stress was 444 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:06,959 Speaker 3: just like sky high. Like I always say, like, you know, recommending, 445 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,960 Speaker 3: you know, how does someone pivot a brand? What kind 446 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 3: of advice would you have? And it's so difficult to 447 00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 3: do when you're in the public sphere because it can 448 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:20,159 Speaker 3: just be so painful for your mental health, and to 449 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 3: go through that online. I think people forget, like, hey, 450 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 3: I'm a real person, Like I'm sure if we sat 451 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 3: down and we chatted, we both like each other and 452 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:29,439 Speaker 3: we get on really well, and we'd be able to 453 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 3: have a conversation. But I think social media is a 454 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 3: lot about making yourself look good by making others look bad. 455 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,680 Speaker 3: So calling people out makes you look like a hero 456 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:42,439 Speaker 3: because you're that person who's you know, calling out the BF, 457 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 3: but you're kind of just being a bully. 458 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:51,639 Speaker 1: I couldn't imagine how hard and difficult that is. I 459 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,679 Speaker 1: actually remember a time chatting about it, and I just 460 00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,480 Speaker 1: I'm the exact sam age. I'm such a people please us, 461 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:01,159 Speaker 1: So I couldn't imagine caught that was for you and 462 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:03,639 Speaker 1: do you think like kind of a part of it 463 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 1: was like not taking things as personal. 464 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,640 Speaker 3: I'd like to say that I managed to do that, 465 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 3: but I struggling with that. What I found really helped 466 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:18,439 Speaker 3: me cope with it was a mix of education, so 467 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 3: finding out, hey, why do people what you know, for instance, 468 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:25,560 Speaker 3: cancer culture, like learning about that and listening to podcasts, 469 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 3: reading articles, understanding why people are the way that they are, 470 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,639 Speaker 3: because otherwise you can just become like really hateful and 471 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,159 Speaker 3: just think the worst of everybody. But there's reasons why 472 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,199 Speaker 3: people do the things that they do and say what 473 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 3: they say, and it's not because they're all evil. There's 474 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 3: reasons behind it. And so for me, it was about 475 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:45,480 Speaker 3: like being compassionate, understanding like why like people were treating 476 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:47,399 Speaker 3: me like this and talking about me like this, And 477 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 3: then that helped me not take it personally because I 478 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,359 Speaker 3: was able to see it's more about them than me, 479 00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 3: and that helped a great deal. 480 00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,920 Speaker 1: Oh wow, I love that. I've never thought about it 481 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 1: that sort of way. It does make sense. 482 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,919 Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, it was still difficult and I had to 483 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 3: and I still go into delopy for it, and because 484 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:10,440 Speaker 3: it triggered a lot of anxiety within me. But it's 485 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 3: something that I'm still working on. But I do think 486 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 3: it's you know, the hardest things that you go through 487 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 3: in life are the things that we really do go 488 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,600 Speaker 3: farm as lame as it sounds like, you learned so 489 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:22,399 Speaker 3: much about yourself. 490 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, one hundred percent. And I'm a big believer in 491 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:27,479 Speaker 1: you don't get anything that you can't handle. 492 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 3: I agree. And you know, when you go through these 493 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,359 Speaker 3: things and you come out the other side, you're like, oh, Okay, 494 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:33,880 Speaker 3: I did it. 495 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:35,119 Speaker 1: You know, I like you did it. 496 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 3: I'm so I always found that yeah, yeah, like, okay, 497 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,160 Speaker 3: that happened. Oh and with something else that happens, well 498 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 3: I did this. So this is a piece of cake. 499 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:42,479 Speaker 3: You know. 500 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 1: I love that. And so before I want to chat 501 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,719 Speaker 1: to you about the business side of things, but before 502 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:52,639 Speaker 1: you do that, I would love if you can just 503 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 1: give some quick sort of steps for the audience if 504 00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:59,720 Speaker 1: they are currently realizing that they're super stuck and diet 505 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,679 Speaker 1: culture and they want to break up with diet culture 506 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:06,159 Speaker 1: and sort of you know, get out of that diet 507 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,399 Speaker 1: cycle a bit more. Do you have any initial steps 508 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:09,920 Speaker 1: that you recommend for someone like that. 509 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 3: I think there's a few things you can do. But 510 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,000 Speaker 3: I mean, I think reading as many books as you 511 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 3: can about diet culture has helped me to most just 512 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 3: eat it, happy fat hunger. Reading about other people's experiences, 513 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,480 Speaker 3: not just I think, like I love to just eat it, 514 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:33,879 Speaker 3: but not just the kind of intuitive eating books. I 515 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 3: think really reading about that people's experience with diets. That 516 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 3: was a huge learning experience for me, and it made 517 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:48,160 Speaker 3: me so much more compassionate and understanding than I used 518 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,359 Speaker 3: to be. And I think most people they do have 519 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 3: this belief that you know, if you just eat less 520 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 3: and move more, you can move weight. And so I 521 00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:59,360 Speaker 3: really think not just reading books, but talking to other 522 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 3: people who are different from you. You learn so much 523 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:06,159 Speaker 3: from their experiences and it just like it is really 524 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:09,679 Speaker 3: like a heart opening experience. You have to open your 525 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:13,960 Speaker 3: heart little by little to kind of take in so 526 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 3: much more. And it's so worth it because you will 527 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:19,479 Speaker 3: be such a deeper, like more developed human like at 528 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 3: the end of it. But it is it is hard. 529 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,960 Speaker 3: It is really hard because you know, you don't just 530 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 3: do it in your head and then that's it. You're 531 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 3: going to walk out on the streets. You know, you 532 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:33,480 Speaker 3: deal with social media, you see people in real life, 533 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 3: their conversations you know, at work about diets, your friends 534 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:40,120 Speaker 3: who talk about diets. Everyone talks about tired. So it's 535 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 3: very difficult to kind of like escape that. But I 536 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,440 Speaker 3: do think with them, with the right resources and books 537 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 3: and community and a support of new family and partner 538 00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:54,520 Speaker 3: as well who understand like your boundaries and what you're 539 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 3: trying to do and how you're trying to do this, 540 00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 3: you can get through. It just takes time. 541 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,840 Speaker 1: I love that and I definitely agree. A big thing 542 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 1: for me was reading and also reading like research that 543 00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 1: proved a lot of things like don't you feel like 544 00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 1: there's so many beliefs we have around weight around health 545 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 1: that we think are like fact, and reading and studies 546 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 1: that completely disproved that was really eye opening to me 547 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 1: because it really I struggled where I was like, this 548 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,000 Speaker 1: can't be true, how can they be you know, how 549 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 1: can we be taught this one thing universally and then 550 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 1: that supports something else, Like it was really eye opening 551 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,280 Speaker 1: for me to look at that research and be like, oh, hey, 552 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:48,360 Speaker 1: we're fed a lot of bs in the main social 553 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,760 Speaker 1: media and media and just one hundred percent what you said, 554 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 1: like just being more eye opening. And I love what 555 00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 1: you said about hearing other people's experiences that are different 556 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,560 Speaker 1: to yours, and I like, I was exact same, Like 557 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:06,959 Speaker 1: I am a young, blonde female who genetically is in 558 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:10,720 Speaker 1: quite a small body, and so it was very eye 559 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:14,360 Speaker 1: opening to me to read other experiences and also follow 560 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 1: people with. 561 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:19,640 Speaker 3: Other guests and yes, exactly what I do. 562 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 1: On Instagram and just like open up your eyes that 563 00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 1: it's actually you know, it's like not everyone is super 564 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:31,120 Speaker 1: thin and super tall and blonde and skinny. It's just 565 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 1: so like just opening up what you consume. It was 566 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 1: a big thing for me. 567 00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,040 Speaker 3: It's a huge thing because I think we're kind of 568 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,520 Speaker 3: you know, there are beauty standards and we say this 569 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 3: is attractive, this isn't attractive. And for a long time, 570 00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 3: you know, I fake tan, And I said to my 571 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,280 Speaker 3: boyfriend the other day, you know, am I more attractive 572 00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:51,000 Speaker 3: when I'm fake tan? Like, I'm not sure I am. 573 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 3: I I think I am that he's at the beauty 574 00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:56,280 Speaker 3: standard because I feel like I look better when I'm brown. 575 00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:59,760 Speaker 3: And the more I've been following like other women on 576 00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:02,000 Speaker 3: the media who are very pale, and I think they 577 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 3: look so beautiful, the more I conceive the beauty in 578 00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:08,080 Speaker 3: being pale, and I think it's just what you're being fed. 579 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,840 Speaker 3: And so if you're surrounding yourself with women that all 580 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 3: look a certain way and that follow that beauty down, 581 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 3: and then that's what you're going to think is beautiful 582 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,880 Speaker 3: and attractive. So it's so important to diversify your feed 583 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,560 Speaker 3: and to get rid of, you know, stop following people 584 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:24,600 Speaker 3: that make you feel bad about yourself as well. 585 00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, I love that, And it was interesting. I was 586 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:30,160 Speaker 1: actually having conversation with someone and they were explaining that, 587 00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:33,680 Speaker 1: isn't it funny? Kind of like in Western culture it's 588 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,840 Speaker 1: all about being really tanned, like that is the beauty 589 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:40,120 Speaker 1: stand It's very tent and then in a lot of 590 00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:44,600 Speaker 1: Asian cultures it's actually the opposite, where the beauty standard 591 00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:47,240 Speaker 1: is the more pale, the more for sure. 592 00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:48,959 Speaker 2: But that's kind of what I was told. 593 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, definitely, all their products contain widening agents. You know, 594 00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:57,920 Speaker 3: pinness is beauty, So it's not what is beautiful, it's 595 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:01,480 Speaker 3: just what beautiful according to the culture. So you can 596 00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:04,040 Speaker 3: create your own standards of beauty and it doesn't have 597 00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:07,080 Speaker 3: any Anyone can be beautiful. It's just you know, pick 598 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,560 Speaker 3: some people make them up into products that we can 599 00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:13,360 Speaker 3: buy and package, and it's how plants make money, you know. 600 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:18,360 Speaker 1: And I think once you really understand that and get 601 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,720 Speaker 1: your head around that, and you're like, oh, okay, I'm 602 00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:22,880 Speaker 1: being really sucked in here. 603 00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,800 Speaker 3: Yeah.

And I love like 621 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,080 Speaker 1: that popping up on may feed like that was. I 622 00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,640 Speaker 1: think that's why I loved you transforming and doing it 623 00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:21,479 Speaker 1: so fast, because it was interrupting my feed and I 624 00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:25,240 Speaker 1: was like, oh, I love this, so keep doing what 625 00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:25,680 Speaker 1: you're doing. 626 00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:28,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's real.

And it's too kind 630 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,960 Speaker 3: of painful to hear an opinion of somebody that doesn't 631 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:44,400 Speaker 3: align with your own. It is difficult, but it is 632 00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:46,960 Speaker 3: important to listen to opinions that aren't the same as 633 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:48,920 Speaker 3: your own as well. And I think that's how you 634 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,280 Speaker 3: learn and grow. You don't have to agree with everything 635 00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,720 Speaker 3: the person says, but to follow people that don't have 636 00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:56,960 Speaker 3: the same opinion of view, that's how you learn and grow. 637 00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:00,040 Speaker 3: I think the fitness industry is such a bubble and 638 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:03,080 Speaker 3: they all say the same things and the same posts 639 00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:06,640 Speaker 3: and everything that we go urgitated, and everyone says yes, yes, yes, yes. 640 00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:07,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, one hundred percent. 641 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:11,200 Speaker 3: There's no one being like, oh, well, actually there's no 642 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:14,319 Speaker 3: study that proves diets work for longer than five years, 643 00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,960 Speaker 3: good majority of participants, and everyone's like, hey, you in 644 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:17,799 Speaker 3: the back, shut up. 645 00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:20,520 Speaker 2: You kill. 646 00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,440 Speaker 1: No. I love that, and I one hundred percent agree. 647 00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,520 Speaker 1: I think we should we should be following stuff that 648 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:33,000 Speaker 1: makes us a little bit uncomfortable, makes us double if 649 00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:36,600 Speaker 1: you go through your feed and it's, you know, one 650 00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,000 Speaker 1: hundred percent like all the same messages, everyone's saying the 651 00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:42,919 Speaker 1: same thing.

Focused on what you're good at 671 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,239 Speaker 3: and get someone who can feel in the weaknesses that 672 00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:53,200 Speaker 3: you don't have. I think that's how I do it. 673 00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:56,000 Speaker 3: And then making sure that my mental health is in check, 674 00:35:56,120 --> 00:36:00,239 Speaker 3: because if my mental health isn't in check, then and 675 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,600 Speaker 3: being on top of everything will be very difficult and 676 00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:07,240 Speaker 3: stressful overwhelming, is I'm sure you know. So making sure 677 00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:10,080 Speaker 3: that you know, you do whatever you can to make 678 00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:12,480 Speaker 3: sure that you're feeling good inside. And that might be 679 00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:16,560 Speaker 3: therapy or medication, or it could be you know, stained 680 00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:20,839 Speaker 3: grounded with medication or oil, or even just spending time 681 00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:24,160 Speaker 3: with your family. Just kind of figuring out what makes 682 00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:27,640 Speaker 3: you feel good and relaxed inside so you can get 683 00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:30,720 Speaker 3: on top of everything else that can cause stress. 684 00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:34,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I love that. And so do you have like 685 00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:38,439 Speaker 1: a morning routine or any like helpful habits that you 686 00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,400 Speaker 1: do daily so your mental health is in check and 687 00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:43,560 Speaker 1: you're kind of in a place where you can delegate 688 00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:45,680 Speaker 1: and you can deal with stressful situations. 689 00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:49,120 Speaker 3: I would love to give here my simple five day 690 00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:57,600 Speaker 3: morning routine, but I do not have. I feel like 691 00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:00,200 Speaker 3: I should, like you know, as a business woman, I 692 00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:02,640 Speaker 3: would have this a really great morning routine, but I 693 00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:04,880 Speaker 3: don't I do have a really good skin routine that 694 00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:07,840 Speaker 3: makes me feel really grounded and amazing in the morning. 695 00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:12,560 Speaker 2: I love that you're kind of winging it. 696 00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:16,480 Speaker 3: Yeah.

For me, it's about when, you know, when 697 00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:17,960 Speaker 3: I wake up in the morning, you know, I don't know, 698 00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,640 Speaker 3: like having my coffee, checking my emails, doing a bit 699 00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:23,279 Speaker 3: of meditation if I need it, But it's really just 700 00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,440 Speaker 3: checking in with myself each day and how I feel, 701 00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:28,640 Speaker 3: because every day I do feel different. And that's where 702 00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:31,160 Speaker 3: like therapy has really been a big help for me. 703 00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:33,080 Speaker 3: I know it's something that a lot of people and 704 00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:36,560 Speaker 3: myself include was really ashamed about that I needed therapy, 705 00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:39,319 Speaker 3: but that's been really helpful.

So I teamed up with my big 746 00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:34,080 Speaker 1: brother Cooper, who is also very health conscious. He is 747 00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:37,640 Speaker 1: gluten free and dairy intolerant, and we built from the 748 00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:41,200 Speaker 1: ground up a company that really cares about what we 749 00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:44,560 Speaker 1: put in our supplements.

All right, guys, let's get straight 764 00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:35,879 Speaker 1: back into the episode, and so let's chat about the 765 00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,120 Speaker 1: business side of things. We've kind of been chatting about that, 766 00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:43,400 Speaker 1: but has there been any big challenges come up, whether 767 00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:46,799 Speaker 1: it's with your app or or something like that, and 768 00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:50,879 Speaker 1: how have you sort of overcome and got through a 769 00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:51,520 Speaker 1: hard time? 770 00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:54,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say, I mean developing the app was 771 00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:57,480 Speaker 3: way more complicated than I have imagined. I knew it 772 00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:00,560 Speaker 3: would be difficult, but I definitely didn't how impot to 773 00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:04,080 Speaker 3: be as expensive and time consuming as it was. I 774 00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,520 Speaker 3: think if you get maybe like a cookie cutter app, 775 00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:09,040 Speaker 3: or you get like another company to do it for you. 776 00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:11,359 Speaker 3: I know there's lots of companies that you know, sell 777 00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,520 Speaker 3: them to as they are or that manage everything for you, 778 00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:16,959 Speaker 3: then that would have been easier. But I always wanted 779 00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:20,200 Speaker 3: something on my own terms and to build something that 780 00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:22,280 Speaker 3: I could, you know, have as part of my legacy 781 00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:24,279 Speaker 3: and as part of who I am, and make sure 782 00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:25,920 Speaker 3: that I could have this and if I wanted to 783 00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:28,400 Speaker 3: change my messaging or do anything. I could add it 784 00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:30,040 Speaker 3: to that and not be stuck in this kind of 785 00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:35,120 Speaker 3: cookie cutter like a layout. So that was definitely more 786 00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:38,319 Speaker 3: surprising knowing how much it was going to cost as 787 00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:40,640 Speaker 3: time went by. Because the Apple only takes doesn't cost 788 00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:44,120 Speaker 3: that huge amount to build, but the maintenance and updates, 789 00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:47,200 Speaker 3: and especially if you're changing your whole blanding message after 790 00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:50,799 Speaker 3: you've paid for everything, that costs quite a lot. 791 00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:55,040 Speaker 1: And so do you have someone working full time for 792 00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:55,960 Speaker 1: you with the app? 793 00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:59,560 Speaker 3: So I have a company in Melbourne that manages everything 794 00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:01,919 Speaker 3: for me. They don't work for me full time. They 795 00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:03,520 Speaker 3: just do work when it needs to get done and 796 00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:05,680 Speaker 3: they kind of post everything on their server. But my 797 00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:08,400 Speaker 3: older sister is the one that helps me with everything 798 00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:10,840 Speaker 3: in terms of she like, she's one laises with the 799 00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:14,439 Speaker 3: app developers and makes changes. You know, you never think 800 00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:16,840 Speaker 3: that something as simple as it could just be adding 801 00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:20,680 Speaker 3: a recipe would be so complicated. There's or you know, 802 00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:22,400 Speaker 3: the test that they have to send through the Apple 803 00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:24,360 Speaker 3: and then it comes back, or just these little things 804 00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:26,680 Speaker 3: that can cost thousands of dollars that you just don't 805 00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:30,560 Speaker 3: account for. So I think that's something to be aware 806 00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:32,960 Speaker 3: of if you're looking at, you know, building, building an 807 00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:33,839 Speaker 3: app and having one. 808 00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:39,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, And so I wanted to ask you. You said 809 00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:41,479 Speaker 1: you I remember reading a post and you kind of said, 810 00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:45,239 Speaker 1: you have been an entrepreneur for most of your life, 811 00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:48,240 Speaker 1: and what do you think makes you an entrepreneur? 812 00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:51,840 Speaker 3: I think, I think because I've never imagined working for 813 00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:55,480 Speaker 3: anyone else. Never, even when I was you know, I 814 00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:57,680 Speaker 3: used to just work part time at a cafe and 815 00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:01,160 Speaker 3: I was fashion signs about ten years go, and everyone 816 00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:02,440 Speaker 3: was asking, you know, what are you going to do 817 00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:03,799 Speaker 3: when you finish? Who are you going to work for? 818 00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:05,399 Speaker 3: And I was like, I'll do something on my own, 819 00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:06,640 Speaker 3: And then what are you going to do? I'm like, oh, 820 00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:08,799 Speaker 3: I'm not sure. I just something on my own. Like 821 00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:12,560 Speaker 3: I just, I never thought about working for somebody else. 822 00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:14,960 Speaker 3: You know. I've had my own social media business. I've 823 00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:18,280 Speaker 3: had a vintage online store, I've had a fashion label. 824 00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:21,840 Speaker 3: I've done so much before I even started fitness that 825 00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:24,680 Speaker 3: I don't know, It's never been something I've considered he's 826 00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:26,840 Speaker 3: getting a job for somebody else. I just I've always 827 00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:29,080 Speaker 3: been like, oh, I can do it myself, or that's 828 00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:31,280 Speaker 3: what excites me, that gets me up in the morning, 829 00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:34,480 Speaker 3: and that I often think like I love talking to 830 00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:37,399 Speaker 3: people that are working like a nine to five job 831 00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:38,880 Speaker 3: that they want to get out of and they have 832 00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:41,560 Speaker 3: a passion for something else.

I don't think. I mean, 862 00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:06,000 Speaker 3: I would never be where I am today if I 863 00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:10,239 Speaker 3: wasn't that kind of person that as soon as I 864 00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:12,440 Speaker 3: get an idea, I do it straight away. Like what 865 00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:14,799 Speaker 3: you said before, messy action. I like that. Give it 866 00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:17,839 Speaker 3: is a nice name that makes me sound organized. It's 867 00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:22,239 Speaker 3: messy action, guys, I look it up. I love it 868 00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:28,239 Speaker 3: because yeah, you have. It's just to have me how 869 00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:29,680 Speaker 3: I like to do things. And I think a lot 870 00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:31,480 Speaker 3: of people often ask me, and they probably ask you 871 00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:33,440 Speaker 3: as well, you know, how did you start? How did 872 00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:35,799 Speaker 3: you do this? Because you get so overwhelmed by just 873 00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:39,320 Speaker 3: the idea of starting that people just don't do anything. 874 00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:42,400 Speaker 3: But that's what you just have to do, right, You 875 00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:44,560 Speaker 3: just have to start, and you just have to just 876 00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:45,160 Speaker 3: get going. 877 00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:48,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, I love that it's because I don't see. I 878 00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:51,719 Speaker 1: love that word because that's something that I've used previously, 879 00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:54,920 Speaker 1: is like you just need to take messy action and 880 00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:56,799 Speaker 1: just kind of figure it out as you go. Like 881 00:45:57,040 --> 00:46:00,000 Speaker 1: when I look for my journey from quitting my life 882 00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:03,200 Speaker 1: law job to where I am now, like I no 883 00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:06,880 Speaker 1: way could have even envisioned it, Like it almost just 884 00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:09,160 Speaker 1: like I put one foot in front of the other, 885 00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:11,640 Speaker 1: and it was just like messy action, let's just do it, 886 00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:13,960 Speaker 1: let's get it done, and it all kind of led 887 00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:18,239 Speaker 1: this where I am now, where I'm like really not 888 00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:21,000 Speaker 1: comfortable but really like happy where I am. I really 889 00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:24,600 Speaker 1: can see, but I just had to start because back 890 00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:27,200 Speaker 1: then I just you never you just don't know. It's 891 00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:28,040 Speaker 1: not clear. 892 00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:31,239 Speaker 3: Because I think a lot of people there like to 893 00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:34,600 Speaker 3: start with perfection, you know, because they have reasons behind it. 894 00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:36,760 Speaker 3: But I think a lot of that is based on fear. 895 00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:38,960 Speaker 3: You know, as long as they know if it's perfect, 896 00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:41,800 Speaker 3: it might be a delay or they can get it started, 897 00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:45,239 Speaker 3: or they'll have you know, reasons. I think I get 898 00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:48,200 Speaker 3: it perfect that way, it won't fail. But otherwise you 899 00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:49,799 Speaker 3: need to you need to just put it out there 900 00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:53,480 Speaker 3: and then you can change if you go, And that's 901 00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:56,040 Speaker 3: always my approach to your business. 902 00:46:56,719 --> 00:46:59,279 Speaker 1: I love There's a quote and it's something like, if 903 00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:03,080 Speaker 1: you put some think out like the first time, and 904 00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:05,160 Speaker 1: you don't want to change it, it means you left 905 00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:05,680 Speaker 1: it too late. 906 00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:09,400 Speaker 3: Yeah. I like that. I'm going to say that to 907 00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:10,200 Speaker 3: see it next time. 908 00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:12,839 Speaker 1: I love my love. 909 00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:14,280 Speaker 2: We're just like throwing out quotes. 910 00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:17,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, I love it, my wall. 911 00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:21,560 Speaker 1: No, one hundred percent. I love what you said stepping 912 00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:26,240 Speaker 1: into the fear taking messy action. I very much resonate 913 00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:29,720 Speaker 1: with that. So thank you for sharing. And so before 914 00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:32,359 Speaker 1: you go, one last question that I like to ask 915 00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:37,080 Speaker 1: all my listeners is when you are not feeling yourself, 916 00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:40,200 Speaker 1: you're feeling a bit bla, you're not into whatever you 917 00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:42,640 Speaker 1: need to do, how do you sort of like motivate 918 00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:46,680 Speaker 1: and inspire yourself to get into it? Because that word 919 00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:51,040 Speaker 1: can be exercised, it can be anything. How do you 920 00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:51,760 Speaker 1: find motivation? 921 00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:58,279 Speaker 3: I find focusing on the way I know that it 922 00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:00,520 Speaker 3: makes me feel. So I might not be looking forward 923 00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:03,600 Speaker 3: to whatever that might be. It could be paying a bill, 924 00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:07,040 Speaker 3: it could be working out. But if I think about, okay, well, 925 00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:09,240 Speaker 3: I'm going to feel really organized on top of things, 926 00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:12,640 Speaker 3: or I'm going to feel really strong and powerful after 927 00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:16,200 Speaker 3: always remembering that I feel better when kind of the 928 00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:21,319 Speaker 3: job is done, like motivating myself with them with the afterthought. 929 00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:23,759 Speaker 3: But you know, because it's not all things that are 930 00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:26,600 Speaker 3: fun in terms of motivation to get things done, because 931 00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:28,759 Speaker 3: otherwise and I am that person like that that I 932 00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:36,680 Speaker 3: do like to do the fun things. First, I think 933 00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:39,360 Speaker 3: your motivation is really difficult because you're not going to 934 00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:42,759 Speaker 3: be motivated every day. Some days you're going to be 935 00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:44,759 Speaker 3: and some days you're not. And that's when people talk 936 00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:47,600 Speaker 3: about discipline, and that's like discipline is important. But I 937 00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:51,279 Speaker 3: do think that finding some sense of enjoyment from what 938 00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:53,960 Speaker 3: you're doing will help you and you won't need as 939 00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:57,360 Speaker 3: much motivation. You know, when I was away for ten months, 940 00:48:57,360 --> 00:48:58,880 Speaker 3: I didn't have to be motivated to go to the 941 00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:02,360 Speaker 3: gym every country I went to, which was difficult to 942 00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:04,400 Speaker 3: find and to get to I have to ride my bike, 943 00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:08,359 Speaker 3: and you know, it wasn't a simple process, but I 944 00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:10,759 Speaker 3: made I made the effort because I wanted to, because 945 00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:12,319 Speaker 3: I liked it. Like you made the effort to go 946 00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:15,080 Speaker 3: and buy iceola because you like it. Yeah, it was 947 00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:16,560 Speaker 3: the same thing for me. With the gym. I was like, 948 00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:19,040 Speaker 3: I want to do this. So I think that just 949 00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:21,440 Speaker 3: makes starts a difference. You don't even need the motivation 950 00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:23,600 Speaker 3: if you're if you want to do something and so 951 00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:25,279 Speaker 3: you just have to find a way to make that 952 00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:28,719 Speaker 3: process enjoyable. So it might be a different type of exercise. 953 00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:31,600 Speaker 3: It might be you know, maybe paying your bills at 954 00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:33,040 Speaker 3: your mum's house so you can have a TV with 955 00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:35,200 Speaker 3: so while you do it. Like finding a way to 956 00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:37,680 Speaker 3: make the process something that you can look forward to 957 00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:39,399 Speaker 3: because then you won't delay it. 958 00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:42,759 Speaker 1: Yeah, oh, I love that amazing. 959 00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:44,279 Speaker 3: Make everything fun? 960 00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:52,040 Speaker 1: Yes, Auto of the podcast, Well, thank you so much 961 00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:53,800 Speaker 1: for taking the time.
