Speaker 1: and because we yeah, I have only met yesterday officially,

32
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: although we did have a little zoom moment a.

33
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,040

34
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 2: for Lego in c.

35
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 3: Isn't that great?

36
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 2: And your story. So two things I want to talk

37
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 2: about with Lego with you.

38
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: First of all, we're here for the botanical collection range

39
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 1: and your knowledge of the flat so we're making like

40
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: adult mindfulness Lego and so we all make different flowers

41
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: or a bondzite.

42
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 2: And your knowledge.

43
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: You're telling me all about the Californian poppy yesterday, daisies

44
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 1: and fertility yep, how do you know all this about plants?

45
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 3: I actually have most of my fluoromancy knowledge passed down

46
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 3: through my Irish maternal bloodline.

47
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 1: Oh yes see, I told you I'd want to go

48
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: straight into this. This is the really amazing like stuff

49
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 1: that I'm so excited about. Okay, let's do it. Let's

50
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 1: just dive in, ye, and we'll come back to the

51
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: Lego stuff, because you've got an incredible story about your

52
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: relationship to Lego as well.

53
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 2: So talk to me.

54
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: About the plants, the flora knowledge and where it's come from.

55
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 3: All right, cool. So when I was a little girl,

56
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 3: my mom kind of tried to dissuade me from my

57
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 3: family history because it's such an interesting and also kind

58
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 3: of difficult job. But I come from a line of

59
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 3: Tassio mancists and flora mancists and beautiful Irish herbalist witches

60
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 3: and you know, in the center of Ireland. So I

61
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 3: grew up in this world of beautiful spiritualism from a

62
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 3: different kind of folklory sense.

63
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: Is speaking to all my dreams. If my boyfriend I

64
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: love watching kind of I want to say fantasy, but

65
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: like that kind of folk where there's a lot of

66
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: folk or on those pagan winnings where the hands are

67
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: bound together there and all that, and I'm like, oh,

68
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: this is amazing. It is like you're weird, Lola, But

69
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: I digress. I didn't know until I really researched you

70
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,559
Speaker 1: last night that it comes from Irish folklore.

71
00:03:58,760 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 2: Yep.

72
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 3: So a lot of the symbols and semiotics that I

73
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 3: have learned and that I've been practicing for the last

74
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 3: twenty years comes down that line and has beautiful roots

75
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 3: in Ireland and in Scotland within my family.

76
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 2: And are you is this eight generations?

77
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 3: It's eight generations that we know of, but we think

78
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 3: it goes back further. It's just eight generations that have

79
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 3: been passed down in stories.

80
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 2: Wow, dude, Oh you lucky bugger. So you didn't end

81
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 2: have a choice in the matter, did you.

82
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 3: Well, my mom wanted me to get a real job,

83
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 3: and I tried really hard. I promise, I went to UNI,

84
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 3: I got my degrees, and my heart just always came

85
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 3: back to my practice.

86
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: So when I met you yesterday, I was like, so,

87
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: how long have you been reading tea leaves for? And

88
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, twenty years. And I looked at you

89
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: and I was like, hang on, she's definitely younger than me.

90
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: And I was like, sorry, sorry, what and you go, yeah,

91
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: twenty years? Are you like ten or eleven or yep?

92
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 3: I started when I was eleven.

93
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 2: Wow.

94
00:04:55,839 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 3: My mom actually started when she was seven, but it

95
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 3: late apparently I'm not late blue, and my daughter she

96
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 3: started it too, so it's just something that's inherently in

97
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 3: our being.

98
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: I think, wow, sorry, if you can hear me, kind

99
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,119
Speaker 1: of like stepping off of mic, that's because I'm sipping tea.

100
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 2: Annie will read later.

101
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: So get your earbuds ready, because I had this done

102
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: yesterday and literally I was like, whenever I'm going to

103
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 1: get definitely be working or doing something with you or

104
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: I don't know what, but we're gonna. I'm pumped you, okay,

105
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: So pass it down through maternal bloodlines went so at

106
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: eleven years, I'm fascinated. So was it like learned or

107
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 1: was it intuitive like did your mum kind of or

108
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: your Yeah, it's.

109
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 3: A combination of both. So I secretly used to often

110
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 3: sit outside the kitchen door and listen in on my

111
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 3: mum's readings because she was always reading at our kitchen table,

112
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 3: and we'd come home from school starving and not be

113
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 3: allowed to go in the kitchen because there would always

114
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 3: be someone in there experiencing, you know, the art of

115
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 3: tassiomancy and learning about their next twelve months out of

116
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 3: a teacup. So I listened a lot and I read

117
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 3: all of the journals. And my mum published a book

118
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 3: when I was young too, which is like a dictionary

119
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 3: definition kind of system of how to read cups. Ah,

120
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 3: it's a really beautiful book and I'm currently in the

121
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 3: process of reworking that.

122
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 1: Oh really, Oh you've got a book you need for sure, dude,

123
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: for sure, Like, promise me you do that.

124
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 3: Yes, definitely. So we've got all of these beautiful definitions

125
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 3: that have been passed down in our family, and when

126
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 3: you see them over and over and over again, you

127
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 3: really develop a love of the symbols and the ability

128
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 3: to tell any kind of story based on the pictures

129
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 3: that appear in the tea cup, in the teacup.

130
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: So for a novice like me, so for someone listening, going, okay,

131
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: what does it involve? So at the moment, you have

132
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: brewed me a beautiful cup of your own tea.

133
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 2: So we're having talked me through the tea we're having today.

134
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 3: So today you're having an English breakfast with jazz and safflower.

135
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 2: It's delicious. And yesterday I had.

136
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 3: Yesterday you had Joye's blend. Yes, it's rhebus with hibiscus

137
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 3: roses and colandular.

138
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 2: Yes, that's right, skin love, and I love clandula for skin.

139
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: And we're having in your beautiful teacup and saucer the

140
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: solar plexus.

141
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 2: Yes, and there's one for each chakra. Yes.

142
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: So I'm going to put all the show notes in here.

143
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: You can see my brain is getting so excited and

144
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: I'm like jumping around. But just so you know, so

145
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: listeners know. So if someone comes to you for reading,

146
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: they'll drink tea with you and then you will read.

147
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 2: The tea leaves full? Is it usually for the next

148
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 2: twelve month?

149
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 3: In the next twelve months, I love to give everybody

150
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 3: a really specific forecast. So my goal is, you know,

151
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 3: time binding. I want to be able to show you

152
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 3: things that will actually appear in that twelve months.

153
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: And you've told me so many stories of people being

154
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,559
Speaker 1: like I came to you a bit like negative nancy,

155
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: not need of it, but like I don't believe you

156
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: all the skeptics that's a word. And then they call

157
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: you up and they're like, so any.

158
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 2: Everything you said happen with any kind of like wow

159
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 2: stories where you were like yep, called that. Oh.

160
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 3: I have to write a book specifically about the stories

161
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 3: that people have told me. So I've seen amazing things

162
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 3: like emergency plane landings and beautiful lovers kind of emerging

163
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 3: out of oceans as triathletes, and people buying houses and

164
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 3: people overcoming the most incredible health stories. Literally anything is

165
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 3: possible in a teacup.

166
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,199
Speaker 1: And you were telling me you so there were a

167
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: few fertility stories that you've totally pat some people. Those

168
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: women are like and we all had some readings together,

169
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 1: a few of us, and there were a few stories

170
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: that were coming up, and I was like, and it

171
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: was really interesting. Yesterday you were reading someone's tea leaves

172
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: and I was watching, and I was innately called to

173
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: help that person. So something how happen to teacup and

174
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: you were like, hey, just be you know, like look

175
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 1: after that part of yourself. And I was like, oh,

176
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: I've got to teach her the natural way that I

177
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 1: do it. Yeah, And and it was so interesting that I.

178
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 3: Like, it was a very you picked up on the vibe.

179
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, as you do.

180
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: You and I were both straight away like there were

181
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 1: so many more natural options my fred exactly. Okay, so

182
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:24,199
Speaker 1: so pumped, I could go in so many different angles

183
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 1: for this. So I just want to talk a little

184
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,079
Speaker 1: bit more about your heritage because you have this beautiful combination.

185
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 1: So it's half Irish and half Italian. Yes, because to me,

186
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 1: I'm dating an Italian and he's very Oh my god,

187
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 1: I dreamt about that person and then I saw them

188
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: and he trusts his intuition so much as does his mom,

189
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 1: and and so I feel like that Italian culture almost

190
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 1: like supports natural gifts.

191
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 3: It definitely does. So the best way to describe it,

192
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 3: my dad, who is not in my bloodline, learned from

193
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,080
Speaker 3: my mum how to read cups and he is one

194
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,119
Speaker 3: one of the most spectacular cup readers just through observation

195
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 3: and practice. And also you know, he gets a bit

196
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 3: of spook from his Italian side too, right, because there

197
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 3: is a lot of the dreaming that comes through that family.

198
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 3: And whilst I do focus all of my energy into cups,

199
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,599
Speaker 3: I do have really spooky dreams too that happen to

200
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 3: appear every soften.

201
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like I've only hit the tip the

202
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: tip of the iceberg with you. Would you say that

203
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: it kind of comes under the realms of a little bit,

204
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 1: like I know when I saw you read yesterday, you

205
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: use your like it's almost like something's channeling through it.

206
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 2: Feels like that to watch.

207
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: But would you say there's like an element of psychic

208
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: to it or is it more specific to Tea leaves.

209
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 3: I refer to myself as a translator.

210
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 2: Oh I like that.

211
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 3: So I'm a translator of imagery. I understand the imagery.

212
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 3: Occasionally I get beautiful messages and voices and say things

213
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 3: that I don't understand where they've come from. My mouth

214
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 3: just opens and words come out it. But in a sense,

215
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 3: it is translation, and it's a lot of practice and study,

216
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 3: and so it's something that anybody can learn as well.

217
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 3: It just takes time and you teach people, right I do.

218
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 2: How cool? I'm jealous.

219
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:13,959
Speaker 1: I don't live in Melbourne right now. I would have

220
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 1: one hundred percent booked in to learn this. I'm like

221
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:20,199
Speaker 1: that girl that studied reiki crystal healing, and so yeah,

222
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: this really resonates me. And that's why, literally, guys, at

223
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:25,679
Speaker 1: the end of our work gig yesterday, we were both

224
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: pretty exhausted, and I was like, do you want to

225
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,199
Speaker 1: jump on the pod tomorrow morning before we have to

226
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: do a mega workday again? And You're like, yep, I'll

227
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: see you there. So I appreciate you sharing so much.

228
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: Of your heart and time here, I've got so many. Yeah,

229
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: my little brain is like buzzing right now. What happens

230
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: if something comes up in a teacup? That feels like

231
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: a warning sign.

232
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 3: So with a teacup, I'm always truthful. I don't leave

233
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 3: anything out. But I've learned over the last twenty years

234
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 3: how to communicate things in a really positive way. So

235
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,839
Speaker 3: the idea is, when you're reading tea, you know, no

236
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 3: one dislikes tea, and even if you dislike tea, like,

237
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 3: for example, I really dislike tea.

238
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 2: It's revolting.

239
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 3: But there are other things you can drink that still

240
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 3: give you that happiness and that warmth. So I love

241
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 3: herbal blends. When you are drinking a cup of tea,

242
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 3: there is not a moment in that space where you

243
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 3: feel unwell or sick or sad or miserable or angry,

244
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,319
Speaker 3: because it's such a positive experience. So with the physics

245
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 3: and the science involved, it's not really science, but I

246
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 3: like to think it is. You know, energetically, we're going

247
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 3: to get a really positive interpretation because we're dealing with

248
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 3: your subconscious on such a heightened and positive level. So yes,

249
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 3: sometimes occasionally we get negative symbols or warning symbols, but

250
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 3: there is always a positive way to communicate those symbols.

251
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 3: And because it's a tea cup, you know, you can

252
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:54,079
Speaker 3: change things. It's not set in stone. So if your

253
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 3: cup says be careful, be careful, and you can adjust

254
00:12:58,400 --> 00:12:59,319
Speaker 3: how things unfold.

255
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: And even I think yesterday I had a little tombstone

256
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: in my reading and I kind of liked it because

257
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 1: the way you described it as a closure of something

258
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: like maybe the end of a contract or the end

259
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: of project or something like that.

260
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 2: And I was like, oh, And I call my boyfriend

261
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 2: last night.

262
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, so in September, something's gonna be

263
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: fully wrapped up and done, just so you know, And

264
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 1: he's like awesome, And yeah, I just think it's so

265
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: nice to hear you described that, because as someone that

266
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 1: has now experienced this from you, I love I love

267
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: the way you read the leaves because I felt very

268
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:45,079
Speaker 1: safe and nurtured and yeah.

269
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 3: Thank you. That's really lovely.

270
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,079
Speaker 1: No, No, I just I really felt like that. Okay,

271
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: So I did some research last night. I was like,

272
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: I'm going to go down the rabbit hole of Irish folklore. Yeah,

273
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: and kind of like where this all begun, and I

274
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: was like, oh, this is great. Is it true that

275
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: it is bad luck to get a tea bag? Cut

276
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: it open, pour it in? All right?

277
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 3: So with superstition and bad luck, okay, there are all

278
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 3: kinds of beliefs. And I was really lucky that RMI

279
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 3: t let me do a master's in tea leaf reading.

280
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 3: So I got to go and study all of the practices,

281
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 3: all of the superstitions, all of the folklore, and I

282
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 3: discovered through all of that that all of those superstitions

283
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 3: are only up to the person. So you know, there's

284
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 3: no right or wrong at all in what you are doing.

285
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 3: There are a few guidelines, and there are some beautiful

286
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 3: like symbol based systems, like you know, turning your cup

287
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 3: three times anti clockwise to form a circle, or but

288
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 3: if you're desperate, you can cut open a tea bag.

289
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 3: It's not going to be the end of the world.

290
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 3: It's just it's up to the reader, and it's up

291
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 3: to the person that's being read. It's about what makes

292
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 3: you comfortable. So when I practice, it is purely about

293
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 3: your comfort and the thing that makes you happy, because

294
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 3: that's going to give you the best reading totally. Also

295
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 3: a lot of that superstition when I was researching for instance,

296
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 3: you know, three times anti clockwise stems from the Gypsy

297
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 3: heritage of cupreading, and it was a way that Gypsies

298
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 3: could ensure that repeat business when they were practicing. So

299
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 3: you know, you'd occasionally kind of pretend to curse somebody

300
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 3: if they didn't follow your instructions. And a lot of

301
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 3: those superstitions come from trade and the practice of ensuring

302
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 3: your trade. And that's okay, it's just not something I

303
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:30,359
Speaker 3: would do. Yeah, it's meant to be fun.

304
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 2: Totally totally. When you were studying all over the world,

305
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 2: because you were saying you study in Turkey, I did.

306
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 2: Was there anything where you were like, oh my god,

307
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 2: how am I he? Right now? Was there any like

308
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 2: pinch yourself moment?

309
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 3: I had the most amazing experience in Turkey with all

310
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 3: of these beautiful women that had all of these separate

311
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 3: lives and worked, you know, in religious spaces or ran

312
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 3: different restaurants, and they'd all come together in the morning

313
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 3: and read their coffee cups. And because cupreading it's not

314
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 3: just tea, it's coffee, it's red wine, it's hot chocolate,

315
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 3: is whatever you've got that leaves a mark and you

316
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 3: can read it and through you know the culture within

317
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 3: Turkey as well. It's so normal to read cups. Yeah,

318
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:14,359
Speaker 3: it's just everyday practice.

319
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, I was based in La for a little

320
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 2: while and there's a.

321
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: I think it's either I think it's a Spanish candle

322
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: shop and you buy these law these really talk kind

323
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: of like altar candles in different colors with different like

324
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: spiritual people printed on the side.

325
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 2: You go, they tell you you go in and you're like.

326
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: Oh, I was like, I'm going to a rough breakup

327
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: and then like, okay, take this burn it.

328
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 2: You cannot let it go out. Oh wow, it has

329
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 2: to burn for like eight days straight.

330
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: Every time I go to your class, I'm like, I'm

331
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: going to burn down the airbnbag.

332
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 2: I'm going to burn down the airbenbeit. And you take

333
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 2: that candle back in.

334
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 1: Once it's burnt out, they read the bottom of the

335
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 1: wax and prescribe you a new candle or tell you

336
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: you're here like no need, that's done. And I was addicted,

337
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: Like they got so many.

338
00:16:58,640 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 2: Pieces out of me.

339
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 1: I was like I feel like I need one for

340
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: career and for love and so like there was but

341
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 1: it's this massive candle shop in like West Hollywood in

342
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 1: LA and it is be z with people, and it

343
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 1: feels like it's kind of that same it is.

344
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 3: It stems from geomancy so well. Tassio mancy is the

345
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 3: art of reading cups, but geomancy is the foundation of

346
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 3: a lot of these practices of the mansis, and geomancy

347
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 3: is the art of reading the earth and the sky

348
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 3: and you know the energy around you, the world around you.

349
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 3: So you take those practices, you put them in a teacup,

350
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 3: You've got tassiomancy. You take them and you put them

351
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 3: in cards, and you've got cartermancy. So really it's about

352
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 3: reading symbols.

353
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 2: Cool man, what a cool job you have.

354
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,439
Speaker 3: I love reading things like fire because you can have

355
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 3: a beautiful fire and see symbols within that and that's pyromancy.

356
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 3: So really the skills related to tassiomancy or geomancy are

357
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 3: transferable amongst the different mediums.

358
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 1: I totally would feel that, Like I feel like if

359
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 1: I brought my candle to you, you'd be like, let's

360
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: have a geeze.

361
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 3: I'm also secretly obsessed with Harry Potter, so occasionally I

362
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 3: run Harry Potter functions and we read wax and your

363
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 3: candles you put them in the cauldron and you can

364
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 3: read the symbols that form in your cauldron as well.

365
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,439
Speaker 1: My boyfriend, who's gonna be eniting this is the being

366
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 1: as Harry Potter fan. Like we live in Byron Bay now,

367
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 1: have just moved, and I walk really early in the

368
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 1: mornings at the lighthouse and I'll be like, Boss, I

369
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: call him Boss. I'm like, guess what I sawed on

370
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,919
Speaker 1: is like anaghini because he's like because I'm like, I

371
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: want to see a snake, but I don't want it

372
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: to hurt me, so I'm like, I hope I get

373
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: to see a nighini from a distance. And we have

374
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 1: like Harry Potter lingo in our household and people literally

375
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: look at us like what are you saying? So, yeah,

376
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 1: we're Harry Potter. My boyfriend is the bigger nerd. But

377
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 1: I have absolutely joyfully jumped on board the Harry Potter train.

378
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,360
Speaker 1: And I had a guy on the podcast, an actor

379
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,919
Speaker 1: that was in a movie with his name the actors

380
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 1: called Joel Jackson, but he was movie with Daniel Radcliffe

381
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 1: and I was.

382
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 2: Like, oh my god, that's so cool.

383
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: What did you do when it was like, literally, they're

384
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,199
Speaker 1: filming in South America, is like every now and then

385
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:08,640
Speaker 1: I'd pick up a stick and be like, I think

386
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: I found my wand so like nerdburgers all around yeap,

387
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 1: which fuck other people?

388
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:16,360
Speaker 2: Yes, totally.

389
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 1: And I'm going to tell you another show that you

390
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 1: need to watch. I know it's totally off topic, but

391
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 1: as I was researching you, you would totally love the

392
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: show I was telling about.

393
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 2: Yees So the witch Are which is on Netflix.

Speaker 3: It's on my list?

395
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:33,159
Speaker 2: Is it good? Good? Good good? Just because it's very esoteric.

396
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:34,760

00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:50,120
Speaker 1: touch on, I just want to hear the Lego stuff. Yeah,

401
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 1: because I found all this cool stuff about you because

402
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 1: I went down to Lego Masters at ten pm.

403
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 2: I was thinking I sent you a photo of been

404
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 2: like guess that I'm watching.

405
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:01,640
Speaker 1: So you were on Lego Masters Australia season two and

406
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: you went in to compete with your friend Runa Runa and.

407
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 2: I had a look.

408
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,159
Speaker 1: I've never watched Lego Masters before last night. I had

409
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 1: a look at the stuff you created. Holy moly, honestly,

410
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 1: thank you.

411
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 2: Incredible.

412
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 1: These flowers must feel like a pinch to you that

413
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 1: we're doing in our city list.

414
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 3: I still love the flowers. They're gorgeous. But yes, I've

415
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,880
Speaker 3: been a massive Lego nerd since I was about fifteen.

416
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,120
Speaker 2: So your Lego story, Okay.

417
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 3: When I was fifteen, I had a brain infection and

418
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:39,479
Speaker 3: I suffered about twenty nine massive sieges that lasted ten

419
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 3: minutes at a time, and I'd lost a year and

420
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,360
Speaker 3: a half of my memory. More more than that, more

421
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 3: like three years, and I bite my tongue off. They

422
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 3: told me that I wasn't going to live very long,

423
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 3: basically because they had no idea why I was sick

424
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 3: or why I was having these ten minute long sieges.

425
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 3: And so I couldn't finish high school. I couldn't really

426
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 3: function as a human being. It sucked. But one of

427
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 3: the things that the hospital kind of suggested was that

428
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 3: I play with Lego because I couldn't really read or

429
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:13,400
Speaker 3: write anymore. I've lost those abilities. So Lego instructions were

430
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 3: the thing that got me back into cognitive function really,

431
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 3: and they gave me something to do from a hospital

432
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 3: bet because when you've had a seizure and you feel

433
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 3: like you've been hit by a truck, you can't move.

434
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 3: And I was having them every two weeks, which is

435
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 3: tough in year eleven, Yeah right, and you're figuring out

436
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 3: who you are. And so I missed all of that.

437
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,959
Speaker 3: I don't remember any of them. So I had lego,

438
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,719
Speaker 3: and so then naturally, my mother just kept buying me

439
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,199
Speaker 3: lots of lego, and my whole bedroom was lined with

440
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 3: police stations and Harry Potter things and all of this

441
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:47,159
Speaker 3: beautiful stuff. And I had this skill set and a

442
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 3: love of these beautiful colored bits of plastic. And then

443
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,439
Speaker 3: when I was twenty one, I decided to leave home

444
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 3: and start a new life in Melbourne because I'm originally

445
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:04,640
Speaker 3: from Perth. So I got on a plane and disappeared

446
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:08,199
Speaker 3: from Perth. Started again to escape that label of the

447
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 3: sick girl, because in Perth everybody tiptoed around me because

448
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 3: they weren't sure if I was going to have a

449
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 3: seizure at any point. Because I never got an official diagnosis.

450
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 3: It was idiopathic epilepsy. We don't know why. So I

451
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 3: started again And when I landed in Melbourne, I landed

452
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 3: in Mooney Ponds. Yeah, right near me, beautiful'st little space

453
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 3: and there was a Lego shop there, really there was.

454
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 3: And so I scooted into the Lego Shop twenty one

455
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 3: on a scooter.

456
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 2: There.

457
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 3: It's not anything, isn't it?

458
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 1: Not one?

459
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 2: There's something on Union Road. Maybe it's more a gaming shore.

460
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 3: This one. This one was tucked away on Whole Street, okay,

461
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,640
Speaker 3: And I scooed it in and I said to the owner, Hi,

462
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:47,640
Speaker 3: I've just landed here. Can I please have a job

463
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 3: And she said, sure, of course you can in a

464
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 3: Lego shop, because that's where I wanted to work. So

465
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 3: I got this great little casual job in a Lego shop,

466
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:59,919
Speaker 3: working with Lego education, teaching kids science and math and

467
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 3: robotics with Lego, and I did the rest of my

468
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 3: studies whilst I was working here. It was fabulous. And

469
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:12,640
Speaker 3: then through that community, I got involved in the Lego community,

470
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 3: the adult fan of Lego community, otherwise known as a fols.

471
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:18,439
Speaker 3: Some people call them a foles as well, but that

472
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 3: sounds inappropriate. So I became part of the Melbourne Lego

473
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 3: User Group and I got involved in the National Lego Convention,

474
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,919
Speaker 3: which is enormous. We filled the Royal Exhibition Building with

475
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 3: Lego with three hundred builders, and twenty thousand people walk

476
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 3: through the door each January to see Lego models. And

477
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 3: I grabbed hold of the microphone and I became the

478
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 3: person that welcomed people in. And through that experience, I

479
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 3: developed such a love of free building and the things

480
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,120
Speaker 3: you can mock, which stands for my own creation.

481
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:53,640
Speaker 2: Also you're making it, yep.

482
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 3: So a creation that is not from instructions is called

483
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 3: a mock.

484
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 2: Got it.

485
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 3: And there's all this fabulous lingo involved in the world

486
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 3: of Lego. And then through that, Lego Masters became a thing. Yeah,

487
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:06,879
Speaker 3: and season one came around and they asked me to

488
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 3: be on that one. I said no, thank you. And

489
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 3: when season two was there, it was just the right time. Yeah,

490
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 3: and I got to go on with Runa. And Runa

491
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:20,399
Speaker 3: and I bonded at Prickvention, the Lego convention because she

492
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 3: won the event and she'd had a brain tumor, and

493
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,119
Speaker 3: we bonded over the fact that we both had brain trauma. Yeah,

494
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,679
Speaker 3: and we both liked Lego and she's a scientist and

495
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 3: I'm a psychic and we thought.

496
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:34,160
Speaker 1: Great, your opposite energy, but it works.

497
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 3: Yep.

498
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 2: When I was watching and fangirling over you last night.

499
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 3: It was such an amazing experience and I would not

500
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:42,920
Speaker 3: have done it with anybody else. She was the perfect

501
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 3: partner and our ideas worked. And you know, she had

502
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,159
Speaker 3: a bit of spook that came in too. So that

503
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,400
Speaker 3: first episode where we had to build a whole new world,

504
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 3: she looked at the island and went, oh, I feel

505
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 3: like it's a turtle, and the spiritualness came out of

506
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 3: her and turtles are so spirit and then we had

507
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 3: the whole symbology and the story running through that build

508
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 3: and it was fabulous. It was so much fun.

509
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:08,879
Speaker 2: Ah.

510
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:12,199
Speaker 3: And because we were the first knocked off, it was

511
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 3: not stressful.

512
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:14,880
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah yeah.

513
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 3: We had a great time, a great experience. I made

514
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 3: amazing friends. Yeah, and then there was no stress.

515
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 1: Oh, so thank you for sharing that, because I, yeah,

516
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 1: I felt like I was missing that piece of your puzzle.

517
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,680
Speaker 1: Because yesterday we met and they were like, Annie is

518
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 1: lego expert.

519
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 2: I was like, okay, whoa all right?

520
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 3: Yeah? Why is she?

521
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 2: Like's not? Well?

522
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 1: It was just more like, okay, make the space mate,

523
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 1: And so it was so nice to kind of like, yeah,

524
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 1: and hear how Lego has almost had a medicinal role

525
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 1: in your journey as well. I've heard you in another

526
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 1: interview talk about Fairy Bricks.

527
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 3: Yes, so can you explain what that is. Fairy Bricks

528
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 3: is an international charity that supplies Lego to children in hospital.

529
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 3: That is their key goal. So when I wish Fairy

530
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 3: Bricks had been around when I was in hospital because

531
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:08,439
Speaker 3: that's something that I would have benefited from, then I

532
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 3: naturally did. But now because it's such an official program

533
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,640
Speaker 3: and it's supported by Lego internationally, and I've been fortunate

534
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:16,400
Speaker 3: to be a part of one of the deliveries, which

535
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 3: is fabulous. It's something very close to my heart.

536
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,360
Speaker 2: It sounds so cool, it sounds.

537
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 1: It just sounds like it's meant to be, Like yeah,

538
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 1: and I'm just pumped that as an adult I get

539
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 1: to enjoy Lego too.

540
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 3: Now Yeah, well now we can because they've worked out

541
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,400
Speaker 3: that Lego's actually for grown ups totally.

542
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,119
Speaker 1: But you can feel yesterday even like how mindful like

543
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 1: everyone I was like, do we get them to have food?

544
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 3: Now?

545
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:44,159
Speaker 2: The guests, I'm like, but they're so in the zone.

546
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're still building yeah.

547
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:47,639
Speaker 1: And my favorite thing you got us to do at

548
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 1: the very start was like mindfulness exercise around holding a

549
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 1: peace and then doing a little visualization. And it was

550
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 1: so funny hearing people's responses to some people's like I

551
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 1: built a brand, Like so you'd hold a little piece

552
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 1: of lego that probably part of one of the flowers,

553
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,159
Speaker 1: and a lot of people you could see people have

554
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: more scientific brains versus creatives, and it was so interesting

555
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: and someone's like, oh, I just pretended there was another piece,

556
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 1: or I added somebody were pattern based and would see

557
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:19,440
Speaker 1: more of the same pattern, and then old mate over here,

558
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, this became a king with a crown.

559
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 2: And then I had this whole story going.

560
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 1: And then I enjoyed it so much that in the

561
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 1: second group, I just pretend like because I wasn't participating,

562
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 1: I was watching. I was like, oh, pretend you've got

563
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:34,640
Speaker 1: the Californian poppy pedal and neck. Minute I could see

564
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 1: a lion eating an orie.

565
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 3: That's it. The visualization component. That's what makes you a

566
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 3: master build up, because if you can take a piece

567
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 3: and visualize like that, you can actually turn it into

568
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 3: a model.

569
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 2: Ah.

570
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 1: It was just so fun It was a really fun

571
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:52,919
Speaker 1: way to practice mindfulness as someone that's got quite a

572
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 1: busy mind.

573
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:54,160
Speaker 2: Yep.

574
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 1: It allowed me to feel comfortable using that busy mind.

575
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 3: We can see how creative you are and eating an orange,

576
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:02,880
Speaker 3: wearing a cape.

577
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: I've watched Doc to do a little on the plane down,

578
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 1: so I was like, am I really in the lion mode?

579
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,680
Speaker 1: Because I've been wanting to Okay, I feel like it

580
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 1: might be time to have a little reading this. So

581
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 1: while this has been going on, and he made me

582
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 1: a tea and I've been sipping away on this tea

583
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 1: and it's delicious. By the way, it's the first time

584
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,639
Speaker 1: I tried your English breakfast? Is that what it is

585
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:29,160
Speaker 1: in breakfast? It is go for it, my friend.

586
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 3: So let's have a look.

587
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 2: Oh, I've got the tees again.

588
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:37,439
Speaker 3: You do this tells us, you know, sensitivity when we

589
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 3: have beautiful tears in.

590
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 2: A cup, So that means little drips, little drips. Yeah.

591
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 3: And my great granny used it as encouragement to drink

592
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:48,239
Speaker 3: more tea because there was the belief that if your

593
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 3: cup is crying a little bit, it hasn't showed you

594
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 3: everything that it can, so you need to drink more

595
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 3: and get more pictures.

596
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like that, But this.

597
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 3: Is really interesting because can you see the heart in

598
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 3: your cup? We have to take photos. Oh, the heart

599
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 3: is a right finn. Yeah, okay, So yesterday when we

600
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 3: were speaking, I was talking to you about the whale

601
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 3: and that house that was on the back of the whale,

602
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 3: and your migration and having this ability to travel around

603
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 3: the world and live in different places. One of the

604
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 3: things that didn't come up in your cup was the

605
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 3: family imagery. Yeah, that's in this cup. Okay, all right, okay,

606
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 3: so it's talking about families. When we look for imagery

607
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 3: and a cup. You know, we pretend that we're five

608
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 3: years old and we're looking at clouds and things don't

609
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 3: have to be perfect. They just need to give us

610
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 3: a sensation or you know, a guide as to what

611
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 3: we think it is. So here, what's the first thing

612
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 3: that pops into your head when you look at that picture?

613
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 2: It's the heart.

614
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 3: It's the heart. But can you also see an animal?

615
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 1: I feel okay, so I can see like a dragon

616
00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 1: thing flying across the top.

617
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 3: And can you see a duck in yeah? Yes, yes,

618
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 3: so your heart is a duck.

619
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 2: Yes, I see that.

620
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 3: You can see that? Really clearly a little duckling. So

621
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 3: heart syncops. When we're partnered, they tell us that our

622
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 3: love is in a really good place when they're solid

623
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 3: and gorgeous like this, And when we're single, they can

624
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 3: tell us that love is coming to us. But we

625
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 3: know you're in a lovely relationship with the boss man.

626
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 2: Yes, that's right.

627
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 3: When we turn its side on and we see the duckling.

628
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 3: Ducklings traditionally are a symbol of new life. I and

629
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 3: ducklings tend to represent baby boys entering our circle. Awesir, Okay,

630
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 3: so here within your heart we have the potential for

631
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 3: a baby boy. So should you wish to pursue that?

632
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 3: Because I believe that all of these imageries that they're

633
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 3: a choice, right, yeah, this imagery is a choice. But

634
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 3: you've got that symbol. They're waiting for you. Yeah right now.

635
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 3: Time wise, it's an overriding image. It is not time bound.

636
00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 3: But the guide is kind of sitting around that six

637
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 3: month point.

638
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I noticed that.

639
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 3: So we know that there's the moving stuff. We know

640
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 3: the career stuff was in your cup yesterday, the family

641
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 3: and the love stuff is here now. And then at

642
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 3: the top we've got your rabbit. Ah, yeah, and your

643
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 3: rabbit is about doing it like rabbits.

644
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, I love this. My boyfriends to be like,

645
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 2: oh my god, lolla.

646
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 1: You told me yesterday it was all about like having

647
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 1: properties in different parts of the world.

648
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 3: Well it's that too. Yeah, this is just the next stage.

649
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 3: So you know, it's beautiful. And then from you know,

650
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 3: going back to the career stuff. Can you see this

651
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 3: amazing frog that's leaping into your cup, like it's literally

652
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 3: jumping into the air. Its legs are extended. You know,

653
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 3: it's flying into your cup at this three month point.

654
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 3: Because when we're reading cups, we can get a twelve

655
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 3: month picture based on the position of the handle, so

656
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 3: we're able to tell time like a clock. And here

657
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 3: at your three month point, your frog is leaping and

658
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 3: frogs symbolically are very much a metamorphosis image. But then

659
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 3: we've also got the element of leap, yeah, because this

660
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 3: frog is jumping head first into its next project. So

661
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 3: at three months we've got, yes, that dramatic metamorphosis, but

662
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 3: the also you know, also that element of jumping in cool, yes,

663
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 3: and you've got lots of gorgeous dogs through your cup,

664
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 3: all with extended necks.

665
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yes, we're getting in it. We want to

666
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 2: get in tell me in greyhound, which is a very

667
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 2: long neck.

668
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 3: So can you see this little dog here with a

669
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 3: really long neck.

670
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh, this makes me very happy.

671
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 3: So dogs represent, yes, literal dogs, and they also represent

672
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 3: beautiful friendships. So yes, there's this lovely kind of dog

673
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 3: in here with a very long neck sitting around you.

674
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 3: Four to five month point perfect right. And the other

675
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 3: thing that we can we can say about friendships is

676
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 3: that you've got friends either putting their neck out for

677
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 3: you right, willing to put you forward because they're putting

678
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 3: their necks out, but also sometimes being a little bit

679
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 3: inquisitive and asking for extra information because they're curious and

680
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 3: they're looking around. But friends are extremely loyal when they

681
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 3: appear as dogs in our cups, so we know that

682
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 3: they're long standing relationships.

683
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 1: Ah, it's so interesting that it's come up today because

684
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 1: I was talking to one of my besties last night.

685
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 3: And your heart's really solid. The other thing that your

686
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 3: heart kind of looks like, which I don't think is

687
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 3: for you. I'd say it's more for your partner is

688
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 3: a tooth. So teeth when they appear in cups, they

689
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 3: can represent income. Oh yeah, because teeth, the concept of

690
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 3: teeth falling out in a dream is about money coming

691
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 3: to you, so it's a very old image two hundred

692
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 3: years ago. Definition can be about money coming in. And

693
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 3: the other thing teeth can be about is literally going

694
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 3: to the dentist, so it might be a dental trip

695
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 3: in six months.

696
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 2: Yeah.

697
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 3: Cool, but yeah it looks like a backtooth.

698
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 2: Cool. Yeah, it all makes sense.

699
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 3: And then in here you've got this lovely little picture

700
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 3: of a person doing that kind of achievement fist in

701
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 3: the air. Yeah, but come on sign. Yeah, so that's

702
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 3: a nice win at your nine month point.

703
00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 2: Great, what is this little guy here? There's like one

704
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 2: little loan set.

705
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 3: This is really interesting because sometimes we're drawn to elements

706
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 3: of a cup and we're not quite sure what they are.

707
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:11,759
Speaker 3: So that can mean that the picture is coming, but

708
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 3: it hasn't quite fully formed yet. Your subconscious is working

709
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:17,359
Speaker 3: on something, because not everything has to mean something at

710
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:21,280
Speaker 3: the time. Yeah, but you know that's there's a project

711
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,479
Speaker 3: or a concept that's a formulating at e twelve month point,

712
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:25,879
Speaker 3: it's just not fully formed yet.

713
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 2: Yeah.

714
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:28,840
Speaker 3: And a lot of people struggle with a cup because

715
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,800
Speaker 3: it's really hard, especially hard to read for yourself.

716
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 1: In the world, I'd be like, oh, I can see

717
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 1: a Laine Like I'd just be putting in all.

718
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:43,320
Speaker 3: My Yeah, and it is the hard even reading for myself.

719
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 3: I find that the most challenging. I can read for anybody,

720
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 3: but myself. I struggle.

721
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 2: I asked you that yourself, like who reads for you?

722
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 2: And you're like, well, I do occasionally.

723
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:54,319
Speaker 3: It's just tricky, but it does take a lot of

724
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 3: practice and eventually the key pictures will jump out at you.

725
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 3: It's like reading those blot images.

726
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, the blot pictures.

727
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 3: That's a great way to start practicing.

728
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 2: Ah, this is so cool. You are the best.

729
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 1: And people listening and he's literally sitting here and just

730
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 1: kind of like gazing as if imagining into a crystal ball.

731
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,320
Speaker 1: And it is the left over of my tea that

732
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:21,879
Speaker 1: I've drunk. There's these beautiful tea leaves or and it's

733
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 1: completely different to my tea.

734
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:25,320
Speaker 2: Leaves yesterday that were kind of a bit more.

735
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:30,880
Speaker 3: Scattered in the sediment that the cup forms is the

736
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 3: thing that you read. Yeah, So it doesn't matter what

737
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 3: it's made of. It could be ground coffee, it could

738
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 3: be yeah, whatever, kind of residue you have from the

739
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 3: beverage that you're drinking. You just need to make sure

740
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:44,879
Speaker 3: there's some kind of residue because otherwise you can't read it.

741
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:48,280
Speaker 3: But tea leaves are one of the most gentle divination

742
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 3: art forms internationally. Like, who doesn't love a cup of tea?

743
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 1: Dude?

744
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 2: I love this so much. Oh, you've totally made my day.

745
00:35:57,920 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 3: I'm excited about your duckling.

746
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 2: Oh my yes, I was like, no fertility like a

747
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 2: white player. I don't worry. No fertility stuff came.

748
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:09,840
Speaker 3: Up, mate, So with fertility pictures too. This is a

749
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 3: really good point to share with people because when you

750
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 3: get a teacup, sometimes there'll be things in there that

751
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 3: you're not necessarily ready for or you don't want, because

752
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:20,360
Speaker 3: a cup is just a guide. So if there's something

753
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:22,319
Speaker 3: like that, yep, we can take it as a nice nod.

754
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 3: But then we can put it in a back pocket

755
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:27,279
Speaker 3: and you know, leave it for another twelve months. If

756
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 3: your cup, for example, said you're accidentally gonna fall pregnant,

757
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 3: you can take precautions.

758
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, exactly.

759
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 3: It's not said instant.

760
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 2: I said that yesterday.

761
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,879
Speaker 3: It is possible to defer imagery and imagery will keep

762
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:42,240
Speaker 3: repeating until it happens. So you can push an image

763
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 3: further away, you can bring it closer to you. Everything

764
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 3: is a choice, and I love that about a teacup

765
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:50,840
Speaker 3: because you are in control of your subconscious It's not

766
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 3: the other way around.

767
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I love it.

768
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 1: But I this does bring some comfort to me because

769
00:36:56,640 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 1: people will know lising the podcast, I've always wanted to

770
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 1: be mum, but later in life, and so this brings

771
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 1: me a little bit of like comfort as well.

772
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:08,800
Speaker 3: A little duckling a little when you're ready for it.

773
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 2: It's bad ducklings growing up.

774
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 3: I love ducklings.

775
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:12,759
Speaker 2: Oh they're so cute.

776
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:16,719
Speaker 1: They get big, though, mate, they get so big, and

777
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:17,719
Speaker 1: we named.

778
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:19,359
Speaker 2: Ours peaking on the range. Don't worry, we didn't.

779
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 3: Oh that's adorable, ye.

780
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 1: But they got really aggressive towards me then, like every

781
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 1: time we'll go outside, they.

782
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 2: Just peck at my ankles.

783
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 1: Really but they were so cute as babies, and eventually

784
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:31,399
Speaker 1: Mom's like, we have to give these guys away.

785
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 2: This is so aggressive towards you.

786
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:36,760
Speaker 1: And I was like, okay, yeah they were massive, dude,

787
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 1: Like I'm talking huge big ducks.

788
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, but as ducklings, cute another thing that baby ducks

789
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 3: can symbolize if we're absolutely certain that it's not about babies,

790
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:51,480
Speaker 3: because not everything is about babies. Yeah, they can symbolize

791
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 3: the birth of ideas. Yeah, the birth of business concepts. Yeah,

792
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 3: so we can use that in our you know, in

793
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 3: our favorite as well.

794
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:04,319
Speaker 1: No, it's nice, it's really nice. It's and it's really

795
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 1: nice for anybody listening. Like, I have a lot of worry,

796
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 1: and I know I come across as very confident, but

797
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 1: I get a lot of I'm quite an overthinker about

798
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:14,399
Speaker 1: my future and I worry a lot.

799
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:16,279
Speaker 2: And that's why you say, with the career stuff and

800
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 2: a lot of.

801
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 1: The traveling, you're like, you're fine, calm down and so

802
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 1: and this is kind of like I know this will

803
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:25,400
Speaker 1: happen after a lot of the travel, and so that

804
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 1: kind of it all feels right.

805
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:29,799
Speaker 3: It's probably why it's the second cup that you've had,

806
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 3: because it's giving us a bit further into the future. Yeah,

807
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 3: we've had the career cup. We're onto the next one.

808
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:36,360
Speaker 2: Yeah. So cool.

809
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:38,799
Speaker 1: And just to talk quickly about the career cup I

810
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 1: got yesterday. It was you're like, oh my god, You're like,

811
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 1: there's a whale with a house.

812
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:47,840
Speaker 2: You're migrating, and I was like, how does she know this?

813
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 2: How does she know this?

814
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:52,240
Speaker 1: And I'm like and we were talking about buying, and

815
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't know if I'm buying in

816
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:56,280
Speaker 1: Buyra and I don't know if I'm buying overseas.

817
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 2: You're like, probably both, yep.

818
00:38:57,520 --> 00:38:59,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely both. Yep.

819
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:01,439
Speaker 2: It was It was just really it.

820
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 1: And that's why I really was so excited to get

821
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 1: you on the podcast, because it was so reassuring to

822
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 1: this overthink. It would just be like, go with a

823
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:12,319
Speaker 1: flow a bit more, Lola, stop freaking out and just

824
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 1: enjoy the journey.

825
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 2: That is like I wouldn't have.

826
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 1: Thought two months ago, with all the COVID stuff that

827
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 1: you and I'd be sitting here in a hotel room

828
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:21,760
Speaker 1: doing this podcast in real life.

829
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 3: No. And yet my teacup was full of aeroplanes.

830
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 2: You said that because it's so very per a bit.

831
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 3: Yeah. I've been to Perth in the last couple of

832
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 3: months as well and avoided everything, avoided lockdowns, but my

833
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:35,799
Speaker 3: teacup showed me that that was there. My teacup has

834
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,279
Speaker 3: showed me some amazing things over my life, Lola. It

835
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:40,880
Speaker 3: showed me my husband. It showed me both my children.

836
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 3: It showed me the house that we bought, right because

837
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:47,839
Speaker 3: we had two auctions in two hours on one day,

838
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 3: and my cup said it was all going to work,

839
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 3: and it did really yep. And it showed me the

840
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 3: tumor that I had when I was twenty two.

841
00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:57,880
Speaker 2: You had a tumor.

842
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:00,319
Speaker 3: I had a tumor at twenty two in my right

843
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 3: ovary and my cup showed me that, and it kept

844
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 3: reappearing and reappearing. Because sometimes cups give us health warnings,

845
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 3: but we have to remember not a diagnostician, right, you

846
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 3: go and get professional assistance. But my cup showed me

847
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 3: these pictures over and over and over again, and I

848
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:16,759
Speaker 3: ignored them. So I thought, that's not me, you know,

849
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 3: why is it there? And then by accident, you know,

850
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 3: I hurt myself, had an X ray and they found

851
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 3: a tumor and then I was on a plane and

852
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 3: in a specialist room. And as soon as I had

853
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:32,279
Speaker 3: that tumor removed, the picture went away. Yep, because the

854
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 3: image was dealt with. My subconscious had showed me what

855
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:38,280
Speaker 3: it needed to. And then the next series of pictures appeared,

856
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:41,359
Speaker 3: so so cool.

857
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:43,399
Speaker 1: At the end of a teak up ready. You often

858
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 1: say to people, do you have any questions?

859
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:46,839
Speaker 2: To us? What's the most common question? Is it love?

860
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 3: Well, actually, the most common thing people say is no, sorry,

861
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:53,319
Speaker 3: I don't have any questions. Thank you for answering them

862
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:56,240
Speaker 3: all right totally, which is really nice.

863
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:58,239
Speaker 2: Even when you offered it to us, I was like.

864
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, quick, I have a habit of answering the

865
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 3: questions before they've been asked. But yes, sometimes they are

866
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 3: more often than not love related, because people often come

867
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 3: for questions of the heart or for questions of whether

868
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:18,319
Speaker 3: they're living or what they're aiming to achieve. But more

869
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 3: often than not, those images will already be there and

870
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:24,759
Speaker 3: we've already talked about them. So that's my that's most

871
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 3: satisfying element. I think I'm reading a.

872
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 1: Cup and I think also getting that call like a

873
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 1: year later, okay everything you said, Okay, let's start again.

874
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 1: So for people listening that are like, oh my goodness,

875
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 1: I need any in my life, you do do zoom

876
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 1: consults and Zoom tea readings. I'll put all of any

877
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:45,799
Speaker 1: details in the show notes. She's got a website you

878
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 1: can book through insta page which is half Lego half tea. Yeah,

879
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:52,400
Speaker 1: it's a bit sure, it's a bit of both worlds.

880
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:56,840
Speaker 1: And I can't wait. I'm already like why I'm in Melbourne.

881
00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 1: I wanted how long are the courses when you teach them?

882
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:01,920
Speaker 3: So I teach a for weight course, Yeah, generally, which

883
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:03,880
Speaker 3: gives you all of the basics and all of the

884
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:08,279
Speaker 3: stuff that my great granny passed down. And I also

885
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 3: do an extended course which takes about twelve weeks. And

886
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:14,799
Speaker 3: I've had some spectacular students over the years who now

887
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:17,720
Speaker 3: work with me and have their own practices as well.

888
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:19,880
Speaker 2: You said that because you said that tea leave readers

889
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 2: are quite rare.

890
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:23,960
Speaker 3: Yes, So it's one of the lost art forms, which

891
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 3: is why I was inspired to do my masters, because

892
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 3: you know, coffee reading, there's a lot of that, but

893
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 3: tea has been lost because it was such common practice.

894
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:35,279
Speaker 3: It was a British parlor game you played with your

895
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:38,360
Speaker 3: friends while you were drinking tea. It was in Tetley's

896
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:43,759
Speaker 3: manuals and in advertising two hundred years ago. So it

897
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 3: got lost because it died along with the beautiful women

898
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:52,720
Speaker 3: that practiced. And so I wanted it to come back.

899
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 1: Oh well mate, let's get this. Let's get this message out.

900
00:42:57,320 --> 00:42:58,359
Speaker 3: Let's make it come back.

901
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 1: I really wanted to do course, I really want to
