WEBVTT - Want to live your best?.....MANIFEST! 

0:00:19.400 --> 0:00:22.439
<v Speaker 1>Hi, guys, and welcome back to another episode of Life

0:00:22.440 --> 0:00:22.880
<v Speaker 1>on Cut.

0:00:22.920 --> 0:00:26.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm Laura, and I'm Brittany, and I'm also very sorry Laura.

0:00:26.840 --> 0:00:28.840
<v Speaker 1>Guys, I am in so much trouble.

0:00:28.880 --> 0:00:31.640
<v Speaker 2>I have just done the most rookie thing you could

0:00:31.640 --> 0:00:32.199
<v Speaker 2>possibly do.

0:00:32.400 --> 0:00:32.600
<v Speaker 1>Now.

0:00:33.440 --> 0:00:35.680
<v Speaker 2>I have done something that we've probably done once ever,

0:00:35.760 --> 0:00:37.680
<v Speaker 2>which was maybe two years ago at the beginning of

0:00:37.680 --> 0:00:38.199
<v Speaker 2>the podcast.

0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:39.599
<v Speaker 1>It's something that you should never do.

0:00:40.280 --> 0:00:43.839
<v Speaker 2>I mixed my microphones up, so I have been recording

0:00:43.880 --> 0:00:47.040
<v Speaker 2>off the wrong microphone. We just did a killer episode.

0:00:47.120 --> 0:00:49.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean, okay, we only did the start of the episode,

0:00:49.240 --> 0:00:49.880
<v Speaker 2>but it was killer.

0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:51.240
<v Speaker 1>We were on fire.

0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:54.080
<v Speaker 2>We were on like a roller coaster that was had

0:00:54.120 --> 0:00:55.520
<v Speaker 2>no intention of ever ending.

0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:57.720
<v Speaker 1>It was going so well. It was full steam ahead.

0:00:57.760 --> 0:00:58.840
<v Speaker 1>It was full steam ahead.

0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:01.320
<v Speaker 2>And then I just looked over at my I just

0:01:01.360 --> 0:01:03.000
<v Speaker 2>saw I just glanced over and I was like, that

0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:05.400
<v Speaker 2>is not tracking on my podcast machine like it probably

0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:08.280
<v Speaker 2>should be. And then I had a moment, Look, Laura,

0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:10.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna be honest. I probably knew for about three minutes,

0:01:10.800 --> 0:01:13.360
<v Speaker 2>and I was too scared to tell you. I was like,

0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:16.600
<v Speaker 2>how do I how do I tell Laura what's happening

0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:17.000
<v Speaker 2>right now?

0:01:17.040 --> 0:01:18.880
<v Speaker 1>Because I was. I was like, I was gonna get

0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:21.280
<v Speaker 1>in trouble and I'm so sorry. How do I tell

0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:25.360
<v Speaker 1>you that you fired? Excuse me? I am I'm an

0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:27.320
<v Speaker 1>og beginner, so you can't find me. Hey.

0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:29.200
<v Speaker 2>Then the other thing that's so funny about this though,

0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:32.199
<v Speaker 2>it's okay, whatever we here, we are, We're going for gold.

0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:34.360
<v Speaker 2>This is gonna be the best intro. This is like

0:01:34.400 --> 0:01:36.120
<v Speaker 2>that song you know, it's the best song in the

0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:36.880
<v Speaker 2>what's the what?

0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:40.000
<v Speaker 1>How does the song go? This is it's Jack Black.

0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:42.880
<v Speaker 2>This this intro is literally asked telling you about the

0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:44.120
<v Speaker 2>best intro that there ever was.

0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:45.240
<v Speaker 1>It was the best song in the world.

0:01:45.280 --> 0:01:46.959
<v Speaker 2>Producer A Kisha, Can you just put a snippet of

0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:48.760
<v Speaker 2>that song in so people know what we're talking about.

0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:50.120
<v Speaker 3>So happened to.

0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:52.960
<v Speaker 1>Be the best song in the world.

0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:56.240
<v Speaker 4>It was the best song in the world.

0:01:56.440 --> 0:01:59.000
<v Speaker 2>It was the best song in the world. That is

0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:01.680
<v Speaker 2>so not on TNE or tune. But I'm you know what,

0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:03.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm never gonna be on Master sing us.

0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:03.640
<v Speaker 1>That's the truth.

0:02:03.640 --> 0:02:05.240
<v Speaker 2>But let me tell you, let me tell you why

0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:07.360
<v Speaker 2>this happened, because this is this is exciting for you guys.

0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:08.320
<v Speaker 1>Well, I think it's exciting.

0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:11.880
<v Speaker 2>This happened because I usually only have one microphone attached,

0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:14.400
<v Speaker 2>but I had two microphones attached that I mixed up.

0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:16.880
<v Speaker 1>And that is because Jordan.

0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:20.040
<v Speaker 2>And I finally recorded the podcast episode that you guys

0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:22.160
<v Speaker 2>have wanted. You have wanted us to record an episode

0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:23.960
<v Speaker 2>because you wanted to meet Jordan. Now, I'm still trying

0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:26.399
<v Speaker 2>to work out why, to be honest, and I hope

0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:28.760
<v Speaker 2>none of you are thoroughly disappointed. Jordan is not a

0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:30.720
<v Speaker 2>radio host, he is not a podcast so it doesn't

0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:33.200
<v Speaker 2>come naturally to him. But we did do the episode,

0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:35.160
<v Speaker 2>and that's why the mics are mixed up. So just

0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:37.840
<v Speaker 2>that you guys know that episode is coming very very soon,

0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:40.120
<v Speaker 2>and also just don't like, don't hold it against Jordan,

0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:42.120
<v Speaker 2>don't hold it against myself. It's like we did it.

0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:43.679
<v Speaker 2>We did it for you guys. It's not gonna be

0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:45.440
<v Speaker 2>number one. We're not gonna go and win any awards.

0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:47.120
<v Speaker 2>We're not gonna win an Aria Award, but like we've

0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:48.840
<v Speaker 2>done it for you guys. Okay, for a little while there,

0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:50.359
<v Speaker 2>I was worried, like you could just like run away

0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:52.480
<v Speaker 2>and start a podcast with Jordan. But I'm glad that

0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:54.760
<v Speaker 2>you're telling me it's not gonna be a possibility. Laura,

0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:56.560
<v Speaker 2>you wait too, you hear the episode, because Laura doesn't

0:02:56.560 --> 0:02:58.400
<v Speaker 2>hear yet, Wait to hear it. You're gonna be blessed

0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:01.880
<v Speaker 2>Jordan's little soul, like he he gives really cute answers

0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:04.359
<v Speaker 2>and he gives his best rendition of being a great

0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:06.720
<v Speaker 2>supportive boyfriend that's come to do the podcast because you

0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:07.320
<v Speaker 2>guys ask for it.

0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:09.120
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, you don't lose. You're not gonna leave your

0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:09.960
<v Speaker 1>job anytime soon more.

0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:11.880
<v Speaker 5>The other weird thing that we do, which I don't

0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:13.680
<v Speaker 5>know now why we're talking so much about how we

0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:16.079
<v Speaker 5>record these podcasts, but the weird thing that we do

0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:18.720
<v Speaker 5>before we start every episode, and we do it every

0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:20.839
<v Speaker 5>single time Britt and I sit down to record. We're

0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:24.560
<v Speaker 5>currently on like a FaceTime because obviously BRIT's overseas, but

0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:27.000
<v Speaker 5>even on FaceTime we still do this. We have like

0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:29.079
<v Speaker 5>a little ritual, little mantra, and that is that we

0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:31.040
<v Speaker 5>sit down in front of our mics and then we

0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:33.120
<v Speaker 5>slap ourselves in the phase.

0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:36.000
<v Speaker 2>Like like we're like ah, And we do this before

0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:39.640
<v Speaker 2>every single record like a fighter going into a boxing match,

0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:42.000
<v Speaker 2>to psych ourselves up in order to be able to

0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:43.520
<v Speaker 2>bring you the best episode possible.

0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:45.600
<v Speaker 1>So there you go. We do it every single time.

0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:47.880
<v Speaker 1>It's weird, but it actually works.

0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:50.200
<v Speaker 2>And I reckon there'd be athletes and other people out

0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:52.600
<v Speaker 2>there that are about to go on stage or no,

0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:54.680
<v Speaker 2>they would like anyone that's going about to have a

0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:56.760
<v Speaker 2>big moment that they just need to pep themselves up,

0:03:56.840 --> 0:03:59.400
<v Speaker 2>give themselves some energy, give themselves, you know, literally a

0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:01.640
<v Speaker 2>slap in the face. It's like you cannot be asleep

0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:04.120
<v Speaker 2>any longer if you slap yourself in the face, Like

0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:06.760
<v Speaker 2>it's not possible. So that's what we do. There's method

0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:09.320
<v Speaker 2>too our madness. Anyway, Guys, if you actually knew what

0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:10.880
<v Speaker 2>goes on behind the scenes, you would think that we

0:04:10.880 --> 0:04:12.600
<v Speaker 2>were a bat shit crazy and you would question why

0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:14.520
<v Speaker 2>you listen to an hour episode from us every week.

0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:17.120
<v Speaker 2>But in the interim this week, we are talking about

0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:20.719
<v Speaker 2>something something that we've mentioned from time to time on

0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:23.280
<v Speaker 2>the podcast before, but we're really doing a deep dive

0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:27.000
<v Speaker 2>and we're unpacking it and that is Manifestation. Now, before

0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:28.920
<v Speaker 2>we get into that, there's a couple of other things

0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:31.240
<v Speaker 2>that I want to talk to you about, Brittany, and

0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:33.359
<v Speaker 2>the most important part of that is a piece of

0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:36.440
<v Speaker 2>hard hitting journalism that I came across this week.

0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:38.760
<v Speaker 1>It really stood out. I'm so skeptical.

0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:40.320
<v Speaker 2>Every time you have come to me so far and

0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:43.560
<v Speaker 2>said there's a journalistic piece of information that you want

0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:45.880
<v Speaker 2>to pass on to me, it's always very questionable.

0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:48.160
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, not this one. You don't ever impart much

0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:49.920
<v Speaker 1>knowledge on me with these articles, Lauren.

0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:53.120
<v Speaker 5>This is one that I really think just had such

0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:56.000
<v Speaker 5>cut through and is really relative to the current state

0:04:56.040 --> 0:04:56.360
<v Speaker 5>of the world.

0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:57.920
<v Speaker 1>And that is from Pedestrian TV.

0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:00.800
<v Speaker 2>And the title of this article is the best and

0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:03.200
<v Speaker 2>worst alternatives to lube when all you have is a

0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:07.280
<v Speaker 2>fridge and a tight hole? Yes, hang on, what if

0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:08.240
<v Speaker 2>you don't have a tight hole?

0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:10.520
<v Speaker 1>What if it's a loser? Does that mean you're excluded

0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:11.279
<v Speaker 1>from this article?

0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:11.360
<v Speaker 4>No?

0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:12.880
<v Speaker 1>I think it might just need to mean that you

0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:13.800
<v Speaker 1>need more. I don't know.

0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:16.120
<v Speaker 2>No, you can, it doesn't matter. The whole is not

0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:18.360
<v Speaker 2>the important part of this. It's what are you using

0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:19.039
<v Speaker 2>for lubrication?

0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:19.720
<v Speaker 4>Now?

0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:22.600
<v Speaker 2>The best thing is that this is an article that's

0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:25.080
<v Speaker 2>been written. It's a pros and cons list about the

0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:27.080
<v Speaker 2>different things that you might find in your pantry or

0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:29.760
<v Speaker 2>in your fridge that you can use for lube if

0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:31.520
<v Speaker 2>you don't have any lubricant on hand.

0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:33.599
<v Speaker 1>So there is an entire article.

0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:36.640
<v Speaker 2>There is an entire article made on what you can

0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:39.719
<v Speaker 2>use at home for loom. Am I correct, yes, And

0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:42.400
<v Speaker 2>also I did a call out to all of our listeners.

0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:42.960
<v Speaker 1>Of course you did.

0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:45.160
<v Speaker 2>And I just want to preface this by saying that

0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:48.320
<v Speaker 2>this is clearly not as weird as what I thought

0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:50.440
<v Speaker 2>it was when I very first read this article, because

0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:54.480
<v Speaker 2>I received hundreds of messages from you guys all about

0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:56.920
<v Speaker 2>the different weird stuff that you have used for lube

0:05:56.960 --> 0:05:58.680
<v Speaker 2>and whether it was a good idea or a bad idea.

0:05:58.720 --> 0:05:59.920
<v Speaker 1>But we'll get into that in a second.

0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:02.840
<v Speaker 2>These are some of the alternate normal go tos when

0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:05.960
<v Speaker 2>it comes to lubricant. Number one, the hero that everybody

0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:09.600
<v Speaker 2>knows about coconut oil straight off the bat. Great, okay,

0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:11.279
<v Speaker 2>I can see that. I think that's the normal go to.

0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:14.080
<v Speaker 2>I probably once use coconut oil as a lubricant, but

0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:16.839
<v Speaker 2>only once, and it smells really good. Actually, But I

0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:18.320
<v Speaker 2>will actually, you know what I need to do. Something

0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:21.200
<v Speaker 2>I need to educate the people something that you may

0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:22.919
<v Speaker 2>or may not know, because I reckon a lot of

0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:25.760
<v Speaker 2>people would be using coconut oil as lube and maybe

0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:26.720
<v Speaker 2>we can put another pole out.

0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:28.320
<v Speaker 1>We love a pole at Life uncut.

0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:32.920
<v Speaker 2>If you are using a condom, coconut oil can actually

0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:35.080
<v Speaker 2>like deteriorate the condom and you can get pregnant.

0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:36.960
<v Speaker 1>So that could be a way to trap a man, ladies. No,

0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:39.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm joking too soon, Okay.

0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:41.120
<v Speaker 2>What I like the most about this is that we

0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:43.840
<v Speaker 2>so like, like I already said, we already pre recorded this,

0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:47.320
<v Speaker 2>and then it obviously went to shit. Britt doesn't use lube,

0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:48.960
<v Speaker 2>she told me just before. It doesn't use lube.

0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:51.520
<v Speaker 1>Wait it out me. Laura has a big old jar

0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:54.159
<v Speaker 1>of coconut oil next to the bed. Yes, that's true.

0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:58.880
<v Speaker 1>I do. I do have coconut oil next to my bed.

0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:03.039
<v Speaker 2>But my defense that is mainly I know that there

0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:05.080
<v Speaker 2>are vibrators and daughters there as well, and you would

0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:07.719
<v Speaker 2>probably think that that's what it's for. No, that is

0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:12.040
<v Speaker 2>mainly for massages. Yeah, right with your dildo, Okay, I

0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:14.600
<v Speaker 2>actually yeah, it's for massages of the clitteress with my daughter.

0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:20.360
<v Speaker 2>I use coconut oil as actually as moisturizer. I will

0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:22.520
<v Speaker 2>use it on my whole body. It's so hydrating. And

0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:25.640
<v Speaker 2>that this is not sponsored by coconut I agree.

0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:27.120
<v Speaker 1>Coconut oil has so many uses.

0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:29.440
<v Speaker 2>You can use it when you're sunbaking, you can use

0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:32.040
<v Speaker 2>it as a moisturizer, and it is the number one

0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:34.240
<v Speaker 2>pantry staple that you can use as a go to

0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:37.840
<v Speaker 2>for lubricant. I didn't know that it erodes a condom though,

0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:39.720
<v Speaker 2>so that like, don't don't say that. We don't teach

0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:42.960
<v Speaker 2>you anything here at life on cut. Very educational. Okay,

0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:45.520
<v Speaker 2>what's next on this list of at home uses for lube?

0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:48.120
<v Speaker 5>So another big one was Alivira gel, and I know

0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:51.080
<v Speaker 5>a lot of people actually messaged in saying that they

0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:54.040
<v Speaker 5>had tried Alavira gel before and it was really stingy

0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:57.120
<v Speaker 5>and something that they wouldn't recommend. Now, the reason why

0:07:57.240 --> 0:07:59.880
<v Speaker 5>some Alvira gels are not recommended is because some of

0:07:59.920 --> 0:08:02.400
<v Speaker 5>the have alcohol in them. So unless it's pure, like

0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:04.920
<v Speaker 5>one hundred percent pure Alevira, like you've just gone down.

0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:07.880
<v Speaker 1>To the garden snapped off a leak, probably don't use it.

0:08:07.960 --> 0:08:11.800
<v Speaker 5>But it is an alternate, very moisturizing, very hydrating, apparently

0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:12.760
<v Speaker 5>very lubricating.

0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:14.800
<v Speaker 1>I would not be using Alvira.

0:08:15.800 --> 0:08:17.760
<v Speaker 2>I also love that I'm really thinking about everything that

0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:19.120
<v Speaker 2>you're going to say here, and I'm giving you my

0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:21.440
<v Speaker 2>honest answer, Like, this is all about what lub I

0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:25.240
<v Speaker 2>would use. I would not use al I would not

0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:28.480
<v Speaker 2>use Alavira because Olivira is a little bit it can

0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:30.160
<v Speaker 2>be a little bit bernie. I think it's supposed to

0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:33.199
<v Speaker 2>be just for like outside uses like abrasions and cuts

0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:34.480
<v Speaker 2>and juice.

0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:36.280
<v Speaker 1>I would one hundred percent agree.

0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:39.240
<v Speaker 2>I would almost put my life on it, or bet

0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:41.840
<v Speaker 2>money on the fact that on every single tube of

0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:43.920
<v Speaker 2>Alavira gel that you would buy from the shops, it

0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:45.920
<v Speaker 2>would say for external use only.

0:08:45.840 --> 0:08:47.600
<v Speaker 1>Do you not use with your dial noo, please and

0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:47.920
<v Speaker 1>thank you.

0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:50.720
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So there's two more on this. One of them

0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:53.040
<v Speaker 2>is less offensive than the other. But this, okay, this

0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:55.080
<v Speaker 2>pedestrian list that I'm telling you right now, this is

0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:57.800
<v Speaker 2>just the things you can use in your fridgeer on

0:08:57.800 --> 0:09:00.320
<v Speaker 2>your pantry. They also have a full list of things

0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:02.760
<v Speaker 2>that you shouldn't use. But I think we can unpack

0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:04.600
<v Speaker 2>the stuff that you guys have written into us. So

0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:07.720
<v Speaker 2>the next thing on this was olive oil. Not that

0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:09.200
<v Speaker 2>makes me feel sick. I hate olive oil.

0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:11.000
<v Speaker 1>What do you mean you hate olive oil? No one

0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:12.319
<v Speaker 1>hates oliver It's delicious.

0:09:12.800 --> 0:09:16.040
<v Speaker 2>No I No, that's okay. God, I'm such a liar today.

0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:17.800
<v Speaker 2>I love olive oil, and I love it when it's

0:09:17.840 --> 0:09:20.079
<v Speaker 2>mixed with balsamic, but I don't like the smell or

0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:22.200
<v Speaker 2>the feel of the texture. Like it just needs to

0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:24.520
<v Speaker 2>get from the bottle to my mouth, not from the bottle.

0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:24.800
<v Speaker 1>To my vagina.

0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:28.600
<v Speaker 2>It's a no, it's a hard pass on on the

0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:29.160
<v Speaker 2>olive oil.

0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:31.719
<v Speaker 1>Okay, unless it's on a caprizy salad, I don't want

0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:32.240
<v Speaker 1>to know about it.

0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:34.440
<v Speaker 2>Well, if the caprizi salad was on your vagina and

0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:36.920
<v Speaker 2>someone was eating it off there, it also sounds like

0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:39.760
<v Speaker 2>a straight far As track to getting yourself back toial vaginosis.

0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:43.200
<v Speaker 2>This is the other thing, right, Like don't use food products.

0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:45.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I know that sometimes it can be central

0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:47.760
<v Speaker 2>and it can be sexy, and there's probably some people

0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:50.200
<v Speaker 2>who would disagree with me, but I really think that

0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:53.720
<v Speaker 2>you might be erring on a thrush infection or some

0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:57.079
<v Speaker 2>sort of imbalance in your microflora by.

0:09:57.000 --> 0:09:59.160
<v Speaker 1>Using things that shouldn't be inside you.

0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:02.400
<v Speaker 2>Do you know, I actually one hundred percent agree with that.

0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:04.680
<v Speaker 2>But also the funny thing is, like we watch these

0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:07.559
<v Speaker 2>movies growing up, and like pornos or whatever you watch,

0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:09.880
<v Speaker 2>and the people that like I mean even The Bachelor

0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:11.320
<v Speaker 2>where they had a chocolate bath.

0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:14.400
<v Speaker 1>But where the idea that like dribbling.

0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:16.840
<v Speaker 2>Chocolate over someone's body and like whipped cream is all sexy.

0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:18.080
<v Speaker 1>It's not fucking sexy.

0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:20.360
<v Speaker 2>It gets everywhere if you put if you have like

0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:22.400
<v Speaker 2>a sexy chocolate session, and that shit is all through

0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:24.679
<v Speaker 2>your linen sheets, that is on the carpet, that's in

0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:27.320
<v Speaker 2>your hair, like, there is nothing sexy about it.

0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:30.040
<v Speaker 5>There was truly nothing sexy about Alex Nation and Richie

0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:31.120
<v Speaker 5>in a chocolate bath.

0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:33.360
<v Speaker 2>I think most people who watch that are just still

0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:34.560
<v Speaker 2>confused and scarred by it.

0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:37.560
<v Speaker 5>It was more trauma inducing. But the most confusing and

0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:39.880
<v Speaker 5>conflicting one for me on this list, like this is

0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:43.200
<v Speaker 5>a journalist who's gone out written article about what you

0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:46.280
<v Speaker 5>care news when you have sex. This is the one

0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:49.199
<v Speaker 5>that confuses me the most. The last one on this

0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:51.680
<v Speaker 5>list is egg whites and.

0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:54.160
<v Speaker 2>Not the yolk, just the egg whites, not the yoak.

0:10:54.280 --> 0:10:56.200
<v Speaker 2>You have to separate the yolks from egg whites. This

0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:58.280
<v Speaker 2>is what it says, egg whites. This one has the

0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:01.000
<v Speaker 2>potential to go very wrong, very fast, which makes me

0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:03.520
<v Speaker 2>think if it can go so poorly, maybe it's not

0:11:03.559 --> 0:11:05.720
<v Speaker 2>one that you should be recommending. But anyway, it says,

0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:09.200
<v Speaker 2>as long as you're using very good, very fresh eggs,

0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:11.640
<v Speaker 2>you can make yourself a little mixture to have handy

0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:14.880
<v Speaker 2>and it'll work just like lube. As long as you

0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:16.719
<v Speaker 2>go down to the farmer's market on a weekend and

0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:19.360
<v Speaker 2>you get those organic eggs fresh, you are good to go.

0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:21.520
<v Speaker 2>But you must use it at room temperature within ten

0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:22.440
<v Speaker 2>minutes of getting it on.

0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:24.960
<v Speaker 5>So well, that's just it, right, like okay, if you

0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:27.080
<v Speaker 5>have to use them when they're very fresh, you obviously

0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:29.360
<v Speaker 5>can't like make a pre made mixture. So at what

0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:32.200
<v Speaker 5>point during quitas are you like, hey, just hold on

0:11:32.200 --> 0:11:34.080
<v Speaker 5>one second while I run out the door, crack a

0:11:34.080 --> 0:11:36.840
<v Speaker 5>couple of eggs, separate the yolks, and then bring the

0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:40.160
<v Speaker 5>egg whites into the bedroom. My other question is we

0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:42.760
<v Speaker 5>all know what happens when you beat egg whites.

0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:48.959
<v Speaker 2>It gets very frothy. My favorite drink is an Ammorono sour.

0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:51.680
<v Speaker 2>It's a frothy it's egg white, and they froth the

0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:53.599
<v Speaker 2>egg whites, so it's this thick layer on top of

0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:54.079
<v Speaker 2>the drink.

0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:55.959
<v Speaker 1>But that shit is so frothy.

0:11:56.040 --> 0:11:58.959
<v Speaker 2>Imagine if that was on your vagina with the friction

0:11:59.200 --> 0:12:00.679
<v Speaker 2>of the sex going in and out.

0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:02.680
<v Speaker 1>It would just keep frothing. It would just froth, roth, froth,

0:12:02.679 --> 0:12:04.840
<v Speaker 1>froth city. And I feel like cross city. If you're

0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:07.719
<v Speaker 1>on you imagine if you were on your first date.

0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:09.280
<v Speaker 2>It was like the first time you're getting sexy and

0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:11.199
<v Speaker 2>a you were like, excuse me, while like to get

0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:13.199
<v Speaker 2>my eggs, beat them and put them on to the

0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:16.480
<v Speaker 2>my vaginal can froth? Guys know I'm passing. I've thought

0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:18.720
<v Speaker 2>about this thoroughly. The egg whiter and no. The thing

0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:21.160
<v Speaker 2>that makes this all weirder is I read this article.

0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:23.440
<v Speaker 2>I felt a lot of feelings and I was like,

0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:25.240
<v Speaker 2>I want to tell you all about it. So then

0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:27.280
<v Speaker 2>I put a call out on our Instagram. I was like,

0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:29.760
<v Speaker 2>I want to know from you our listeners, what are

0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:32.600
<v Speaker 2>some of the weirdest shit that you have used for

0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:34.320
<v Speaker 2>loob and was it a good idea or was it

0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:36.200
<v Speaker 2>a bad idea? So I put the call out on

0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:39.439
<v Speaker 2>Life on Podcast on Instagram. You're all going to be bad.

0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:42.960
<v Speaker 2>I cannot tell you how many responses we got to

0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:46.040
<v Speaker 2>this brit Like. We received hundreds of dms, And the

0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:48.600
<v Speaker 2>thing I love the most is that everybody who DM

0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:50.840
<v Speaker 2>does like no one made burner accounts. All of you

0:12:50.880 --> 0:12:53.880
<v Speaker 2>guys were writing into us just with your name, writing

0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:56.320
<v Speaker 2>all the cooked stuff that you've used out of your pantry,

0:12:56.400 --> 0:12:58.840
<v Speaker 2>out of your cupboard, or like in your makeup drawer

0:12:58.840 --> 0:12:59.559
<v Speaker 2>and medicine cupboard.

0:12:59.559 --> 0:13:01.120
<v Speaker 1>This was so many things.

0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:03.560
<v Speaker 2>Some of you guys got super creative, and I want

0:13:03.559 --> 0:13:05.600
<v Speaker 2>to read some of these out to you.

0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:07.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh they're gonna be disaster. Put on your unders and

0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:08.600
<v Speaker 1>strap yourselves in.

0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:10.520
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I'm gonna read a few of these out to

0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:13.080
<v Speaker 2>you because they're fucking great. He just threw a cup

0:13:13.080 --> 0:13:15.760
<v Speaker 2>of water on it. Wait, I'm gonna I'm gonna read

0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:16.680
<v Speaker 2>you don't even.

0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:22.640
<v Speaker 1>Need to read that again. That was brilliant. Like I

0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:24.360
<v Speaker 1>feel like we all know water doesn't work. You just

0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:25.000
<v Speaker 1>got to think about it.

0:13:25.000 --> 0:13:27.360
<v Speaker 2>If you have sex in the pool or like the shower,

0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:29.880
<v Speaker 2>water alone is not great well water.

0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:32.080
<v Speaker 1>It's like it's a myth. It's not lubricating. But I

0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:32.440
<v Speaker 1>just love that.

0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:34.280
<v Speaker 2>She's like I was, like, I'm sitting on the bed

0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:35.840
<v Speaker 2>and he just threw a cup of water on it.

0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:38.440
<v Speaker 2>We called it a day after that cocoa body oil.

0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:42.800
<v Speaker 2>It worked great and I had a super shiny volver afterwards. Okay,

0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:45.440
<v Speaker 2>so many people wrote in vasoline and it was a

0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:49.880
<v Speaker 2>common denominator vasoline after watching Puberty Blues, Okay, I feel

0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:52.640
<v Speaker 2>like petroleum jelly would be fine, right, be sure?

0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:55.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean I feel like it would stay like I

0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:55.480
<v Speaker 1>think it was.

0:13:55.520 --> 0:13:58.520
<v Speaker 2>Shit's too thick, right, like using poor por ointment, which

0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:01.280
<v Speaker 2>also was another one that was mentioned.

0:14:01.280 --> 0:14:01.880
<v Speaker 1>Isn't that when you.

0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:04.280
<v Speaker 2>Put like old school we used to put on baby's

0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:05.640
<v Speaker 2>gums when they're teething and stuff.

0:14:05.640 --> 0:14:08.400
<v Speaker 1>I think you're thinking of bongella.

0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:11.480
<v Speaker 6>I thought we don't use bongella on your vagina, everybody.

0:14:11.600 --> 0:14:14.520
<v Speaker 1>That's a fucking terrible idea. Fuck, you won't feel anything,

0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:21.480
<v Speaker 1>You'll be completely dumb waiting for it.

0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:25.280
<v Speaker 2>Okay, this one Margarine, and no, it was a bad

0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:29.280
<v Speaker 2>life decision. Could you imagine using not even using butter,

0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:32.120
<v Speaker 2>not even using like Western Star or learn that just

0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:35.000
<v Speaker 2>going for some fucking shitty margarine, Which makes me think

0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:36.960
<v Speaker 2>that you definitely had to be a beauty student because

0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:38.200
<v Speaker 2>who's still buying margarine?

0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:38.920
<v Speaker 1>Now? Guilty?

0:14:38.960 --> 0:14:41.480
<v Speaker 2>I would always buy Marjorine over butter. I would do that,

0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:43.200
<v Speaker 2>but if I was gonna use it for lou Bud,

0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:44.200
<v Speaker 2>buy butter full fat.

0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:44.800
<v Speaker 1>Oily butter.

0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:50.280
<v Speaker 2>I would spend extra for that pleasure. My roomy told

0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:52.800
<v Speaker 2>me that he used olive oil, but not like normal

0:14:52.800 --> 0:14:53.360
<v Speaker 2>olive oil.

0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:55.960
<v Speaker 6>He used his spray can kind and he just sprayed

0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:57.000
<v Speaker 6>it onto her vagina.

0:14:57.240 --> 0:14:59.600
<v Speaker 1>And the spray olive oil that used like pancakes. This

0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:02.680
<v Speaker 1>summers sting. But also imagine him it's like fumigating.

0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:04.640
<v Speaker 2>It's like sending back and fumighinting in the vagina and

0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:07.400
<v Speaker 2>like spraying it for pests. But it would also be

0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:11.560
<v Speaker 2>so cold, like the spray. Any sort of compressed compressed deodorant,

0:15:11.600 --> 0:15:14.320
<v Speaker 2>compressed olive oil, like anything that's been compressed into a can,

0:15:14.520 --> 0:15:16.240
<v Speaker 2>makes it really cold when it comes out. And really

0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:18.680
<v Speaker 2>imagine someone's spraying olive oil.

0:15:18.520 --> 0:15:20.400
<v Speaker 1>On your vagina. And at what point do you say, no,

0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:21.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm not into this.

0:15:21.480 --> 0:15:23.680
<v Speaker 2>Did he keep the recommended distance? You know, he's supposed

0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:25.880
<v Speaker 2>to have like a foot of distance from spray. It

0:15:26.000 --> 0:15:28.560
<v Speaker 2>probably got up two clotes. It's like blasted the clid off.

0:15:31.680 --> 0:15:34.720
<v Speaker 5>Now this next one is extremely questionable for very very

0:15:34.760 --> 0:15:39.200
<v Speaker 5>different reasons. I once used strawberry lube and it tasted really,

0:15:39.320 --> 0:15:43.160
<v Speaker 5>really great. I cannot recommend strawberry lube enough anyway. I

0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:45.560
<v Speaker 5>then decided to eat it as a snack when I

0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:48.880
<v Speaker 5>was on a diet because it's really low in calorie,

0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:50.720
<v Speaker 5>and you would think that she would be on her

0:15:50.720 --> 0:15:52.960
<v Speaker 5>own with that. However, another one of our listeners wrote

0:15:53.000 --> 0:15:54.880
<v Speaker 5>in and said, I used to eat flavored lube on

0:15:54.920 --> 0:15:57.400
<v Speaker 5>its odor as a snack. Trust me, it's super yummy.

0:15:57.640 --> 0:16:00.600
<v Speaker 1>Guys, this is not a food. Lube is not a replacement.

0:16:00.640 --> 0:16:02.520
<v Speaker 2>It's not a meal replacement, and it's not a weight

0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:05.000
<v Speaker 2>loss tool unless you're using it to have sex and

0:16:05.040 --> 0:16:05.800
<v Speaker 2>burn calories.

0:16:05.800 --> 0:16:07.920
<v Speaker 5>That is the only way you should be using it. Like, guys,

0:16:07.960 --> 0:16:10.640
<v Speaker 5>it's not fucking aeroplane jelly. Just go to the shops

0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:11.360
<v Speaker 5>and make.

0:16:11.240 --> 0:16:13.760
<v Speaker 1>Some treat yourself. Treat yourself.

0:16:13.960 --> 0:16:16.120
<v Speaker 2>I have two more than I'm gonna share with you now.

0:16:16.160 --> 0:16:18.680
<v Speaker 2>This one part of me, I was just like, dear God,

0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:20.720
<v Speaker 2>I just want to know who this is A made

0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:23.080
<v Speaker 2>of mine. Hooked up with a very famous football player

0:16:23.320 --> 0:16:26.360
<v Speaker 2>who used a mashed banana for lubricant. It was a

0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:29.600
<v Speaker 2>fucking mess. Afterwards. When I asked her, don't you mean

0:16:29.640 --> 0:16:31.400
<v Speaker 2>he just used a firm hole.

0:16:31.240 --> 0:16:34.680
<v Speaker 6>Banana, she said, no, he actually mashed up the banana

0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:38.479
<v Speaker 6>and used it on my banana.

0:16:38.560 --> 0:16:40.760
<v Speaker 2>Okay, this girl needs to tell us who this football

0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:42.560
<v Speaker 2>player is. We'll keep it anonymous, but like, just for

0:16:42.640 --> 0:16:44.400
<v Speaker 2>Laura's and my sake, we need to know who that is.

0:16:44.440 --> 0:16:45.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if we would keep it anonymous.

0:16:45.960 --> 0:16:47.960
<v Speaker 5>I think if somebody came forward and told me something

0:16:48.000 --> 0:16:49.400
<v Speaker 5>like that, I think I just have to share it

0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:49.880
<v Speaker 5>with you, guys.

0:16:49.960 --> 0:16:51.920
<v Speaker 1>It's too good. I have a question for Laura.

0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:54.560
<v Speaker 2>Go hit me if you could use this is this

0:16:54.640 --> 0:16:57.520
<v Speaker 2>is all you had in the fridge, butter egg white

0:16:57.840 --> 0:16:58.720
<v Speaker 2>or tomato sauce.

0:16:58.760 --> 0:17:00.440
<v Speaker 1>What do you use for lip? You have to because

0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:01.960
<v Speaker 1>you're you're like, you're so dry.

0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:04.840
<v Speaker 2>Okay, you're so dry because the guy's trying to use banana,

0:17:04.880 --> 0:17:07.359
<v Speaker 2>But you have to choose something else to you personally

0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:08.040
<v Speaker 2>out of those things.

0:17:08.080 --> 0:17:09.520
<v Speaker 5>I'm just going to tell you how much I love

0:17:09.560 --> 0:17:11.600
<v Speaker 5>tomato sauce. I will have tomato sauce on everything.

0:17:11.640 --> 0:17:14.280
<v Speaker 2>I will literally put it on my breakfast, on my toast,

0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:14.960
<v Speaker 2>on my like.

0:17:14.960 --> 0:17:15.679
<v Speaker 1>I will give you.

0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:17.879
<v Speaker 2>If he was just to put tomato sauce on his

0:17:18.000 --> 0:17:20.480
<v Speaker 2>penis and it was like a sausage with tomato sauce, great,

0:17:20.520 --> 0:17:22.879
<v Speaker 2>he would get a blow job every day when mass

0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:24.800
<v Speaker 2>can be walking around the house now with a boner

0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:26.560
<v Speaker 2>and tomato sauce on him at all times.

0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:27.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to go with butter.

0:17:28.760 --> 0:17:30.840
<v Speaker 5>I'm going to go with like slightly melted down butter

0:17:31.359 --> 0:17:33.080
<v Speaker 5>and then a bit of salt and some season like that.

0:17:33.119 --> 0:17:36.320
<v Speaker 1>You've thought that through, I am going.

0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:38.959
<v Speaker 2>To finish with one more, which I loved. This was

0:17:39.119 --> 0:17:42.080
<v Speaker 2>her once boyfriend now husband. My once upon a time

0:17:42.119 --> 0:17:45.880
<v Speaker 2>boyfriend now husband once poured red wine on my vagina

0:17:45.920 --> 0:17:49.680
<v Speaker 2>and entire glass, thinking he was being sensual and sexy. No,

0:17:49.840 --> 0:17:52.160
<v Speaker 2>red wine is a terrible lubricant because all it does

0:17:52.240 --> 0:17:52.600
<v Speaker 2>is burnt.

0:17:53.200 --> 0:17:53.400
<v Speaker 1>There.

0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:56.040
<v Speaker 2>We have it, guys, some dows, some domes. If you

0:17:56.080 --> 0:17:58.119
<v Speaker 2>don't have any lube in the fridge, I would just

0:17:58.160 --> 0:18:01.520
<v Speaker 2>suggest using saliva probably a good opt in. If you're

0:18:01.520 --> 0:18:04.960
<v Speaker 2>feeling particularly dry in the mouth, maybe try some coconut oil.

0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:06.320
<v Speaker 1>But apart from that, I just think.

0:18:06.200 --> 0:18:10.080
<v Speaker 2>You're opening yourself up to some very serious thrush, bacterial vaginosis,

0:18:10.200 --> 0:18:13.439
<v Speaker 2>or some urine track infections, which was also something that

0:18:13.520 --> 0:18:16.000
<v Speaker 2>I think fifty percent of people who wrote in were like, hey,

0:18:16.040 --> 0:18:18.359
<v Speaker 2>I also contributed it to this thing that happened to me,

0:18:18.480 --> 0:18:20.520
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, be safe, guys.

0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:23.520
<v Speaker 1>One hundred percent you've got your new track, Infection. Thank

0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:25.640
<v Speaker 1>you for bringing me this segment that I just didn't

0:18:25.680 --> 0:18:27.480
<v Speaker 1>even know I needed. But anyway, Laura, you don't get.

0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:29.240
<v Speaker 2>The microphone back for the rest of the episode because

0:18:29.520 --> 0:18:30.640
<v Speaker 2>the damage is done.

0:18:31.160 --> 0:18:33.520
<v Speaker 1>Let's talk about what the episode actually is.

0:18:33.600 --> 0:18:37.720
<v Speaker 2>We are speaking to a lovely, lovely woman named Jordana Levine. Now,

0:18:37.720 --> 0:18:40.480
<v Speaker 2>she's a journalist and an author and a podcaster, and

0:18:40.520 --> 0:18:45.320
<v Speaker 2>she's someone that is all about manifestation, manifesting the good

0:18:45.320 --> 0:18:48.760
<v Speaker 2>things in life, good relationships and jobs and good energy.

0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:51.280
<v Speaker 2>She's written two books, Make It Happen and a very

0:18:51.280 --> 0:18:54.120
<v Speaker 2>newly released Higher Love, and both of these talk about

0:18:54.119 --> 0:18:58.080
<v Speaker 2>self empowerment and making things happen for ourselves. Now, I

0:18:58.119 --> 0:19:00.520
<v Speaker 2>am someone that has been very into manif station in

0:19:00.520 --> 0:19:03.919
<v Speaker 2>my life over the years. I wasn't always, but I

0:19:03.960 --> 0:19:06.720
<v Speaker 2>got into it probably, oh, I don't know, maybe when

0:19:06.720 --> 0:19:08.440
<v Speaker 2>I started traveling in my mid twenties.

0:19:09.119 --> 0:19:10.560
<v Speaker 1>So I was really excited to talk to.

0:19:10.520 --> 0:19:15.240
<v Speaker 2>Jordana because I never really researched it thoroughly or went

0:19:15.280 --> 0:19:18.160
<v Speaker 2>to extreme lengths. I just started to really slowly introduce

0:19:18.200 --> 0:19:20.320
<v Speaker 2>it into my life after I heard a few friends

0:19:20.359 --> 0:19:23.399
<v Speaker 2>talk about it. I read the Secret like three. I

0:19:23.400 --> 0:19:25.879
<v Speaker 2>think thirty million other people read the book The Secret.

0:19:25.960 --> 0:19:27.720
<v Speaker 2>I think you read the book The Secret, Laura.

0:19:27.880 --> 0:19:30.240
<v Speaker 5>I actually watched the docu series on The Secret, which

0:19:30.280 --> 0:19:32.159
<v Speaker 5>is on Netflix. I'm pretty sure it's on Netflix. I

0:19:32.160 --> 0:19:34.560
<v Speaker 5>watched it when I was in the Batch mansion and

0:19:34.640 --> 0:19:35.000
<v Speaker 5>I was.

0:19:34.960 --> 0:19:38.720
<v Speaker 2>Doing everything I possibly could in order to I wanted

0:19:38.720 --> 0:19:40.000
<v Speaker 2>to win Matt's love for me.

0:19:40.040 --> 0:19:42.080
<v Speaker 1>I was like, what can What's going to set me apart?

0:19:42.200 --> 0:19:42.360
<v Speaker 2>Night?

0:19:42.440 --> 0:19:45.040
<v Speaker 5>And I watched this series and I was like, Okay,

0:19:45.080 --> 0:19:47.119
<v Speaker 5>I'm gonna I mean, I had nothing else to do

0:19:47.160 --> 0:19:48.439
<v Speaker 5>in the house anyway, and I was like, I'm going

0:19:48.480 --> 0:19:52.000
<v Speaker 5>to put all my mental energy towards focusing on the

0:19:52.040 --> 0:19:53.200
<v Speaker 5>things that I want in my life.

0:19:53.320 --> 0:19:55.439
<v Speaker 2>And So what did that look like for you? Was

0:19:55.440 --> 0:19:57.399
<v Speaker 2>that like writing things down? Or was that just like

0:19:57.440 --> 0:20:00.399
<v Speaker 2>repeating a mantra? Or was that just having like a

0:20:00.400 --> 0:20:02.520
<v Speaker 2>pillow cushion that you put pins kind of thing in,

0:20:02.560 --> 0:20:04.639
<v Speaker 2>you know, those little light Yeah, I created a I

0:20:04.720 --> 0:20:05.919
<v Speaker 2>created a Matt voodoo doll.

0:20:06.000 --> 0:20:07.320
<v Speaker 1>No, I think it was more so for me.

0:20:07.480 --> 0:20:10.560
<v Speaker 5>It was around and look, I am like the most

0:20:10.800 --> 0:20:14.119
<v Speaker 5>non spiritual person, even though I do things in my

0:20:14.200 --> 0:20:16.760
<v Speaker 5>day to day life that are quite spiritual and I

0:20:16.800 --> 0:20:19.600
<v Speaker 5>do really believe in like positive thinking. I do believe

0:20:19.640 --> 0:20:21.760
<v Speaker 5>in taking control of your life and of your actions.

0:20:22.040 --> 0:20:24.440
<v Speaker 5>But I guess sometimes for me, I find it quite

0:20:24.480 --> 0:20:29.320
<v Speaker 5>difficult to tap into the spiritual language around things like manifestation.

0:20:29.840 --> 0:20:33.399
<v Speaker 5>Now do I think that I manifested Matt into my life. No,

0:20:34.160 --> 0:20:35.720
<v Speaker 5>But I do think that I got to a point

0:20:35.720 --> 0:20:38.080
<v Speaker 5>in my life where I recognized that I was making

0:20:38.119 --> 0:20:40.639
<v Speaker 5>the wrong decisions for myself and I wanted to change something,

0:20:41.040 --> 0:20:44.000
<v Speaker 5>and I really was in this period of self development.

0:20:44.520 --> 0:20:47.159
<v Speaker 5>The thing for me about manifestation that I think was

0:20:47.160 --> 0:20:49.679
<v Speaker 5>a real positive is that it really allowed me to

0:20:49.800 --> 0:20:52.119
<v Speaker 5>align my thoughts, and the way I see it was

0:20:52.119 --> 0:20:53.359
<v Speaker 5>a very practical sense.

0:20:53.840 --> 0:20:55.240
<v Speaker 1>I see it more as like.

0:20:55.720 --> 0:20:57.640
<v Speaker 5>You have a goal and when you know, we've all

0:20:57.640 --> 0:21:00.600
<v Speaker 5>heard that sort of adage of someone who started business

0:21:00.640 --> 0:21:02.720
<v Speaker 5>and then put that they wanted to make a million

0:21:02.800 --> 0:21:05.879
<v Speaker 5>dollars on their board like a vision board, and then

0:21:05.920 --> 0:21:08.280
<v Speaker 5>they went out and they achieved that goal. I very

0:21:08.320 --> 0:21:11.240
<v Speaker 5>much believe that if you set yourself a goal in life,

0:21:11.320 --> 0:21:14.240
<v Speaker 5>and you keep that front of mind and you're thinking

0:21:14.280 --> 0:21:16.760
<v Speaker 5>about it and you're focusing on it, then your actions

0:21:16.760 --> 0:21:19.879
<v Speaker 5>will follow. But you actually have to take actionable steps

0:21:19.880 --> 0:21:22.000
<v Speaker 5>in order to achieve that. I think it was Jim

0:21:22.080 --> 0:21:26.000
<v Speaker 5>Carrey actually that tells this story. He was a struggling actor.

0:21:26.040 --> 0:21:30.159
<v Speaker 5>He wasn't in any movies yet he said, that's it.

0:21:30.200 --> 0:21:30.840
<v Speaker 5>I've had enough.

0:21:30.840 --> 0:21:32.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to manifest my life because he read the

0:21:32.520 --> 0:21:35.160
<v Speaker 2>manifestation thing. He was sleeping in his car. He wrote

0:21:35.240 --> 0:21:38.760
<v Speaker 2>himself a check in his car on a piece of paper.

0:21:38.800 --> 0:21:40.640
<v Speaker 2>It was just like a made up check. He did

0:21:40.720 --> 0:21:43.320
<v Speaker 2>every single detail on the check. He said, address his

0:21:43.359 --> 0:21:46.120
<v Speaker 2>full name, he did the date, he wrote bankers check numbers,

0:21:46.160 --> 0:21:50.320
<v Speaker 2>like completely made up, signed it, wrote the date which

0:21:50.400 --> 0:21:52.840
<v Speaker 2>is one year, it was one year away, and he

0:21:52.920 --> 0:21:56.040
<v Speaker 2>wrote the sum and he wrote ten million dollars one.

0:21:55.880 --> 0:21:57.240
<v Speaker 1>Year almost to the day.

0:21:58.359 --> 0:22:00.920
<v Speaker 2>He signed onto his first huge movie, which was Dumb

0:22:00.920 --> 0:22:03.600
<v Speaker 2>and Dumber, for ten million dollars. And he swears, he's like,

0:22:03.680 --> 0:22:05.840
<v Speaker 2>I fucking manifested this shit out of that. And like

0:22:05.880 --> 0:22:07.800
<v Speaker 2>when you hear him talk about that story, you get

0:22:07.840 --> 0:22:11.040
<v Speaker 2>goose bumps. But there are so many celebrities, some that

0:22:11.080 --> 0:22:13.280
<v Speaker 2>you'll know, some that you don't, that are really big

0:22:13.320 --> 0:22:15.320
<v Speaker 2>on manifestation and they really do preach it. And one

0:22:15.320 --> 0:22:17.240
<v Speaker 2>that you would know is Oprah. Another that you might

0:22:17.320 --> 0:22:20.920
<v Speaker 2>know is Deepak Chopra. And now I actually did a

0:22:20.920 --> 0:22:25.640
<v Speaker 2>manifestation abundance course from Deepak Chopra last year.

0:22:25.720 --> 0:22:27.600
<v Speaker 1>I did that. I signed up.

0:22:27.600 --> 0:22:29.119
<v Speaker 2>There were a few friends that I knew like that

0:22:29.200 --> 0:22:31.080
<v Speaker 2>were doing it at the same time. And it's a

0:22:31.119 --> 0:22:33.840
<v Speaker 2>twenty one day abundance course and I can really recommend

0:22:33.880 --> 0:22:35.880
<v Speaker 2>it to you guys if you're looking for something like that.

0:22:35.960 --> 0:22:38.080
<v Speaker 2>I just did it on my own accord, and it

0:22:38.160 --> 0:22:42.040
<v Speaker 2>was about exactly that. It's it's about being grateful for

0:22:42.080 --> 0:22:44.359
<v Speaker 2>your life, taking a step back and looking at your

0:22:44.359 --> 0:22:46.919
<v Speaker 2>life as a whole as a helistic view. Are you

0:22:46.960 --> 0:22:48.879
<v Speaker 2>happy with it? What aren't you happy with? What are

0:22:48.880 --> 0:22:50.480
<v Speaker 2>you grateful for? What do you want to improve, What

0:22:50.480 --> 0:22:52.000
<v Speaker 2>do you want to work on? What do you want

0:22:52.040 --> 0:22:54.840
<v Speaker 2>what's your ultimate goal? And I got so much out

0:22:54.880 --> 0:22:56.560
<v Speaker 2>of that over the twenty one day, so I one

0:22:56.680 --> 0:22:57.920
<v Speaker 2>hundred percent can recommend that.

0:22:58.040 --> 0:22:59.679
<v Speaker 5>One of the things I loved about this chat with

0:22:59.720 --> 0:23:02.600
<v Speaker 5>yourd is that she makes the idea of manifestation. She

0:23:02.680 --> 0:23:05.919
<v Speaker 5>makes the concept of the law of attraction very palatable

0:23:05.960 --> 0:23:09.040
<v Speaker 5>for anybody who maybe struggles with the more spiritual side

0:23:09.080 --> 0:23:11.600
<v Speaker 5>of manifestation. She talks about it in a way that

0:23:11.760 --> 0:23:14.040
<v Speaker 5>really allows you to be able to implement it into

0:23:14.080 --> 0:23:17.600
<v Speaker 5>your life. And I love that about this because I

0:23:17.640 --> 0:23:20.440
<v Speaker 5>guess I personally there's a few things for me that

0:23:20.520 --> 0:23:23.360
<v Speaker 5>I have always felt a little bit conflicted about whenever

0:23:23.560 --> 0:23:26.760
<v Speaker 5>somebody really preaches this idea of manifestation. And that's why

0:23:26.800 --> 0:23:29.280
<v Speaker 5>I have been hesitant for us to do a whole

0:23:29.320 --> 0:23:32.080
<v Speaker 5>episode on it before. And that's because I think if

0:23:32.080 --> 0:23:34.919
<v Speaker 5>you look at it with one view, as in like,

0:23:34.960 --> 0:23:37.400
<v Speaker 5>if you look at it from a very single minded view,

0:23:38.080 --> 0:23:41.360
<v Speaker 5>it can almost feel sometimes a little bit victim blaming

0:23:41.600 --> 0:23:44.840
<v Speaker 5>in that it's very wonderful and very tantalizing to think

0:23:44.880 --> 0:23:47.880
<v Speaker 5>that you can create the beautiful life that you live,

0:23:47.920 --> 0:23:50.720
<v Speaker 5>that you're responsible for everything that is wonderful that comes

0:23:50.720 --> 0:23:52.800
<v Speaker 5>into your life. But on the flip side of that,

0:23:52.960 --> 0:23:57.080
<v Speaker 5>I think great things happen to shitty people, and shitty

0:23:57.119 --> 0:24:00.520
<v Speaker 5>things also can happen to awesome people, and it's not

0:24:00.720 --> 0:24:03.159
<v Speaker 5>just because those people had a negative mindset. It's not

0:24:03.280 --> 0:24:06.520
<v Speaker 5>because they didn't manifest hard enough. And I really just

0:24:06.560 --> 0:24:08.879
<v Speaker 5>want to make sure that anybody who's listening to this

0:24:09.280 --> 0:24:12.360
<v Speaker 5>who has been through trauma in their life, who has

0:24:12.440 --> 0:24:16.160
<v Speaker 5>experienced something really negative or maybe you're still going through

0:24:16.359 --> 0:24:18.360
<v Speaker 5>some shit and you're in the middle of it that

0:24:18.440 --> 0:24:21.439
<v Speaker 5>you don't listen to this or feel like you have

0:24:21.560 --> 0:24:24.520
<v Speaker 5>created that, because there's so much that happens in life

0:24:24.560 --> 0:24:27.440
<v Speaker 5>that we are not in control over. This conversation though,

0:24:27.480 --> 0:24:30.159
<v Speaker 5>around manifestation is to take charge of the stuff that

0:24:30.200 --> 0:24:34.080
<v Speaker 5>you are in control of. So maybe, like me, you

0:24:34.400 --> 0:24:36.560
<v Speaker 5>went through a period where you've been dating the same

0:24:36.600 --> 0:24:38.880
<v Speaker 5>type of shitty guys. And we get into it with Jordana,

0:24:38.960 --> 0:24:40.960
<v Speaker 5>like we really do unpack it. But maybe you've been

0:24:41.040 --> 0:24:43.439
<v Speaker 5>dating the same types of shitty guys. Maybe there's a

0:24:43.480 --> 0:24:44.960
<v Speaker 5>pattern there, and there's a part of it that you

0:24:45.040 --> 0:24:48.240
<v Speaker 5>can take responsibility for. Is it your fault what those

0:24:48.280 --> 0:24:51.200
<v Speaker 5>shitty guys or girls have done? No, it's not your fault.

0:24:51.400 --> 0:24:53.200
<v Speaker 2>But it's just looking at the bits that you can

0:24:53.240 --> 0:24:55.359
<v Speaker 2>take control over it in order to set yourself up

0:24:55.400 --> 0:24:58.280
<v Speaker 2>to live a life that you can be super proud of.

0:24:58.760 --> 0:25:00.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and I think one thing I've said it on

0:25:00.960 --> 0:25:01.960
<v Speaker 1>podcasts in the past.

0:25:01.960 --> 0:25:04.320
<v Speaker 2>If you guys are an OG listener, you will have

0:25:04.440 --> 0:25:06.520
<v Speaker 2>heard me say this in the past. I learned this

0:25:06.640 --> 0:25:08.800
<v Speaker 2>in a really, really great way from a month that

0:25:08.840 --> 0:25:11.439
<v Speaker 2>I spent a month with five years ago. Now, I

0:25:11.480 --> 0:25:13.640
<v Speaker 2>spent this random month with a monk learning from him.

0:25:13.960 --> 0:25:18.000
<v Speaker 2>He taught me a lot about manifestation and about exactly

0:25:18.040 --> 0:25:20.639
<v Speaker 2>this putting the energy out, the law of attraction. But

0:25:20.680 --> 0:25:23.800
<v Speaker 2>a really big message that he drove home was that

0:25:24.000 --> 0:25:27.479
<v Speaker 2>every single person in life is going to have something

0:25:27.520 --> 0:25:31.040
<v Speaker 2>shit happened to them. Everyone like that is we cannot

0:25:31.080 --> 0:25:33.000
<v Speaker 2>avoid it. We're all going to lose someone we love

0:25:33.000 --> 0:25:35.080
<v Speaker 2>at some point. We're all going to go through trials

0:25:35.080 --> 0:25:37.439
<v Speaker 2>and tribulations. We're all going to have our heart broken.

0:25:37.800 --> 0:25:39.560
<v Speaker 2>Some people are going to have it broken over and

0:25:39.600 --> 0:25:42.360
<v Speaker 2>over and over again. We can't change that. But what

0:25:42.440 --> 0:25:45.600
<v Speaker 2>we can change is the way we deal with that

0:25:45.760 --> 0:25:48.360
<v Speaker 2>and the way we look at the future, the way

0:25:48.359 --> 0:25:51.439
<v Speaker 2>we look at the situation. So that is something that

0:25:51.480 --> 0:25:53.679
<v Speaker 2>you can control, and that's what this is about. It's

0:25:53.720 --> 0:25:56.000
<v Speaker 2>about saying, you know what, this fucking sucks, but what

0:25:56.040 --> 0:25:57.600
<v Speaker 2>can I do with it? What can I do to

0:25:57.640 --> 0:26:00.760
<v Speaker 2>move forward? What energy can I put back into the universe.

0:26:00.800 --> 0:26:03.960
<v Speaker 2>So hopefully you guys get something from this. We really did,

0:26:03.960 --> 0:26:05.320
<v Speaker 2>but well, we don't want to tell you.

0:26:05.200 --> 0:26:06.960
<v Speaker 1>Too much more about what.

0:26:06.840 --> 0:26:09.040
<v Speaker 2>The episode's going to be, even though we have given

0:26:09.080 --> 0:26:11.320
<v Speaker 2>you a pretty good insight. But Giordana, who were speaking to,

0:26:11.440 --> 0:26:13.840
<v Speaker 2>is she's just so knowledgeable and she has written and

0:26:13.920 --> 0:26:16.240
<v Speaker 2>researched so much about this, so I know you're going

0:26:16.320 --> 0:26:18.920
<v Speaker 2>to get something from it. But before we do that,

0:26:19.520 --> 0:26:22.639
<v Speaker 2>we're going to smash out our favorite segment, which is

0:26:22.680 --> 0:26:23.760
<v Speaker 2>accidentally unfiltered.

0:26:24.200 --> 0:26:25.320
<v Speaker 1>But we are just.

0:26:25.280 --> 0:26:29.120
<v Speaker 2>Doing one today because we both picked the same accidently unfiltered,

0:26:29.119 --> 0:26:30.639
<v Speaker 2>so we thought that was a sign from the universe.

0:26:30.680 --> 0:26:32.320
<v Speaker 2>We're like, fuck, did we manifest that we did the

0:26:32.359 --> 0:26:34.240
<v Speaker 2>same one less? So that's what we're going to bring you. No,

0:26:34.359 --> 0:26:35.880
<v Speaker 2>I think it's just that we spend way too much

0:26:35.920 --> 0:26:37.639
<v Speaker 2>time together and we find the same shit funny.

0:26:37.640 --> 0:26:40.399
<v Speaker 1>Now literally, that's what it is. Okay.

0:26:40.600 --> 0:26:43.000
<v Speaker 2>So the earthquake in Melbourne today was a sign that

0:26:43.080 --> 0:26:45.879
<v Speaker 2>I had to message you guys about my earthquake poop

0:26:45.960 --> 0:26:49.000
<v Speaker 2>story before this Melbourne earthquake story. I want you to

0:26:49.040 --> 0:26:52.000
<v Speaker 2>know that earthquakes are very common in Mexico and I'd

0:26:52.040 --> 0:26:55.760
<v Speaker 2>never experienced one before. Now picture this. It's Christmas Day,

0:26:55.840 --> 0:26:58.480
<v Speaker 2>twenty seventeen and I'm staying with my partner's family in

0:26:58.480 --> 0:27:01.880
<v Speaker 2>a high rise apartment in Akapo. A post Christmas lunch

0:27:02.000 --> 0:27:04.720
<v Speaker 2>dump was definitely in order, so I left the festivities

0:27:04.720 --> 0:27:08.040
<v Speaker 2>for peace and quiet of the bathroom. I'm literally midshit

0:27:08.119 --> 0:27:12.000
<v Speaker 2>when I suddenly hear a loud bang. My mind is

0:27:12.000 --> 0:27:14.199
<v Speaker 2>already raising. Did I just break the toilet seat with

0:27:14.200 --> 0:27:14.560
<v Speaker 2>this shit?

0:27:14.640 --> 0:27:18.840
<v Speaker 1>What has just happened? Has a bomb gone off? God?

0:27:18.840 --> 0:27:20.640
<v Speaker 2>That was a big dump if you broke the toilet

0:27:20.640 --> 0:27:23.680
<v Speaker 2>bowl with your poop. I started to feel vibrations swiftly

0:27:23.720 --> 0:27:25.880
<v Speaker 2>moving up through the floors beneath me until they hit

0:27:25.920 --> 0:27:29.000
<v Speaker 2>the floor I'm on. All of a sudden, everything is

0:27:29.000 --> 0:27:32.400
<v Speaker 2>shaking and whole building begins to lurch violently. I feel

0:27:32.440 --> 0:27:34.520
<v Speaker 2>like I'm being bounced around, so I just grip onto

0:27:34.520 --> 0:27:37.440
<v Speaker 2>the toilet seat for dear life like a lifeline, thinking

0:27:37.720 --> 0:27:40.280
<v Speaker 2>pun intended. Man, this is gonna be a shit way

0:27:40.320 --> 0:27:47.280
<v Speaker 2>to die. After about twenty seconds, everything seems to calm down.

0:27:47.320 --> 0:27:50.320
<v Speaker 1>I've only just started to collect my thoughts, realize I'm alive,

0:27:50.400 --> 0:27:52.000
<v Speaker 1>and realize it was an earthquake.

0:27:52.200 --> 0:27:54.560
<v Speaker 2>And then I see that I am covered in toilet

0:27:54.560 --> 0:27:57.399
<v Speaker 2>water and poop. When my partner and his mum burst

0:27:57.400 --> 0:27:59.280
<v Speaker 2>through the door to check if I'm okay, I'm like

0:27:59.320 --> 0:28:02.280
<v Speaker 2>a deer in headline picture me pants down, wet of

0:28:02.320 --> 0:28:05.240
<v Speaker 2>wei wet of poop. Having continued shock on my face.

0:28:05.480 --> 0:28:08.080
<v Speaker 2>We all mutter things embarrassingly until they back out and

0:28:08.160 --> 0:28:10.840
<v Speaker 2>leave me alone. Luckily, for me, there was no after shock.

0:28:11.280 --> 0:28:16.119
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, no, it's pretty funny.

0:28:16.400 --> 0:28:18.560
<v Speaker 2>Imagine how scary that would be. Pants down, you can't

0:28:18.560 --> 0:28:20.600
<v Speaker 2>even run because your pants are around dr ankles and

0:28:20.640 --> 0:28:21.400
<v Speaker 2>there's an earthquake.

0:28:21.720 --> 0:28:23.840
<v Speaker 5>I mean, everyone knows the worst thing about going to

0:28:23.880 --> 0:28:25.840
<v Speaker 5>the toilet, especial if they're in a public toilet is

0:28:25.880 --> 0:28:27.840
<v Speaker 5>the splash back. Anyway, could you imagine how bad the

0:28:27.880 --> 0:28:29.000
<v Speaker 5>splashback is after?

0:28:29.280 --> 0:28:31.679
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you've got to be pretty vicious, like, oh,

0:28:31.680 --> 0:28:32.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't get splashed back.

0:28:32.920 --> 0:28:35.199
<v Speaker 1>You gotta be pretty violent you don't get splashed back.

0:28:35.200 --> 0:28:37.040
<v Speaker 1>I like put toilet paper down there so I don't

0:28:37.080 --> 0:28:39.360
<v Speaker 1>get splashed back. You never get splash back. I must

0:28:39.400 --> 0:28:43.120
<v Speaker 1>be really gentle and just like cute. Like wow. On

0:28:43.200 --> 0:28:45.920

<v Speaker 1>Thanks for having me, Jordana.

0:29:19.880 --> 0:29:22.640
<v Speaker 2>Now, we do a segment on every episode which is

0:29:22.640 --> 0:29:24.800
<v Speaker 2>called accidentally Unfiltered. Now, I don't know if you've been

0:29:24.800 --> 0:29:27.240
<v Speaker 2>prepped on this, but I'm hoping you have been. Accidentally

0:29:27.320 --> 0:29:30.040
<v Speaker 2>Unfiltered is where we get our guests to share their

0:29:30.160 --> 0:29:33.320
<v Speaker 2>most embarrassing stories and we all laugh together like.

0:29:33.280 --> 0:29:35.520
<v Speaker 1>The beautiful community that we are. I've listened to a.

0:29:35.520 --> 0:29:38.320
<v Speaker 4>Few episodes in people's stories, and I really wanted to

0:29:38.320 --> 0:29:40.280
<v Speaker 4>come up with a good one. I was thinking back.

0:29:40.400 --> 0:29:42.160
<v Speaker 4>I asked a couple of friends because I couldn't think

0:29:42.200 --> 0:29:44.600
<v Speaker 4>of stuff, and I was like, I'm sure we've had

0:29:44.640 --> 0:29:46.800
<v Speaker 4>conversations where I've said to you, oh my god. I

0:29:46.880 --> 0:29:49.840
<v Speaker 4>was so mortified. So I tried to like flash back

0:29:49.880 --> 0:29:53.160
<v Speaker 4>to those, to those scenarios. And then I walked out

0:29:53.200 --> 0:29:55.880
<v Speaker 4>of the house the other day and something happened to

0:29:55.920 --> 0:29:58.640
<v Speaker 4>me and I remember the first time it happened, the

0:29:58.680 --> 0:30:01.760
<v Speaker 4>og time, which was really embarrassings. I was back in

0:30:01.800 --> 0:30:05.520
<v Speaker 4>my corporate days. I was working in publishing, and so

0:30:06.160 --> 0:30:08.440
<v Speaker 4>I was working like office hours, and I used to

0:30:08.480 --> 0:30:09.960
<v Speaker 4>get up really early in the morning, like I know

0:30:10.000 --> 0:30:11.640
<v Speaker 4>a lot of people do to go to the gym.

0:30:12.120 --> 0:30:15.040
<v Speaker 4>Was really dark, and what I'd usually do is set

0:30:15.080 --> 0:30:18.000
<v Speaker 4>all my clothes out the night before, make sure they

0:30:18.000 --> 0:30:20.160
<v Speaker 4>were packed properly, make sure my gym clothes were ready

0:30:20.200 --> 0:30:22.680
<v Speaker 4>to go. Anyway, I hadn't done that this morning, and

0:30:22.720 --> 0:30:26.040
<v Speaker 4>I'd woken up in a flurry. The bus only came

0:30:26.080 --> 0:30:28.160
<v Speaker 4>every half hour to get me into the city, and

0:30:28.240 --> 0:30:29.720
<v Speaker 4>I had like five minutes to get there. So I

0:30:29.800 --> 0:30:31.720
<v Speaker 4>kind of like threw on some leggings that I had

0:30:31.720 --> 0:30:34.360
<v Speaker 4>on the floor, and you know, threw all my clothes on,

0:30:34.560 --> 0:30:36.520
<v Speaker 4>raced out the door with my gym bag. Got to

0:30:36.560 --> 0:30:39.680
<v Speaker 4>the bus stop. There was one of my neighbors who

0:30:39.720 --> 0:30:41.680
<v Speaker 4>I'd been flirting with for a very long time. We

0:30:41.720 --> 0:30:45.200
<v Speaker 4>had this really long chat, and I distinctly remember hopping

0:30:45.240 --> 0:30:48.240
<v Speaker 4>on the bus first and walking up the aisle of

0:30:48.240 --> 0:30:51.200
<v Speaker 4>the bus, so he was behind me, and thinking to myself,

0:30:51.560 --> 0:30:53.200
<v Speaker 4>I better check him out, you know, as I walk

0:30:53.280 --> 0:30:55.920
<v Speaker 4>up the bus sat down on the bus. He kind

0:30:55.920 --> 0:30:59.160
<v Speaker 4>of sat behind me. We got off at the same stop.

0:30:59.480 --> 0:31:01.600
<v Speaker 4>He went in the way I walked into the gym,

0:31:02.120 --> 0:31:04.360
<v Speaker 4>got into the gym, had a chat to the ladies

0:31:04.360 --> 0:31:06.680
<v Speaker 4>in the lobby. There was this one kind of woman

0:31:06.720 --> 0:31:08.560
<v Speaker 4>who was looking at me funny, but didn't really think

0:31:08.600 --> 0:31:10.840
<v Speaker 4>anything of it. Went into the change room, had some

0:31:10.960 --> 0:31:12.840
<v Speaker 4>chats in there, went into the weights room. There was

0:31:12.880 --> 0:31:15.400
<v Speaker 4>this guy who I'd been flirting with in the weights room.

0:31:15.440 --> 0:31:17.520
<v Speaker 4>This was me in my early twenties, floating with everyone.

0:31:17.880 --> 0:31:20.400
<v Speaker 4>He was also looking at me a bit funny. Didn't

0:31:20.400 --> 0:31:23.680
<v Speaker 4>really think anything of it. And then I left. And

0:31:23.800 --> 0:31:27.680
<v Speaker 4>usually I'd get changed down in the gym into my

0:31:27.720 --> 0:31:29.760
<v Speaker 4>office clothes, but I didn't. I thought I'll go and

0:31:29.760 --> 0:31:32.960
<v Speaker 4>get changed at work. And so I was walking on

0:31:33.000 --> 0:31:35.120
<v Speaker 4>my way to the office out in the street in

0:31:35.160 --> 0:31:37.960
<v Speaker 4>the middle of Sydney, and one of the guys I

0:31:38.040 --> 0:31:40.280
<v Speaker 4>worked with came up to me and he kind of

0:31:40.400 --> 0:31:43.360
<v Speaker 4>tapped me on my butt and he's like, jord, what

0:31:43.520 --> 0:31:46.160
<v Speaker 4>is that? And I was like, what is what? And

0:31:46.240 --> 0:31:48.560
<v Speaker 4>I looked around and felt it and I thought, my god,

0:31:48.560 --> 0:31:50.640
<v Speaker 4>what is that? And he put his hands down my

0:31:50.720 --> 0:31:52.400
<v Speaker 4>pants to pull it out. This was a good friend

0:31:52.400 --> 0:31:55.440
<v Speaker 4>of mine, and it was an old g string from.

0:31:55.320 --> 0:31:56.080
<v Speaker 1>The day before.

0:31:56.240 --> 0:31:59.280
<v Speaker 4>Obviously that had been in the leggings, that had been

0:31:59.280 --> 0:32:03.840
<v Speaker 4>there the whole Why. Oh it was mortifying and I thought,

0:32:03.880 --> 0:32:06.760
<v Speaker 4>oh God, all those people all that morning had seen

0:32:06.760 --> 0:32:08.760
<v Speaker 4>it and no one had said anything. It's like when

0:32:08.760 --> 0:32:11.000
<v Speaker 4>you have spinach in your teeth, but like way worse.

0:32:11.480 --> 0:32:13.040
<v Speaker 1>This is gonna make you feel a little bit better.

0:32:13.080 --> 0:32:16.880
<v Speaker 2>We actually received an accidentally unfiltered story similar to yours

0:32:16.920 --> 0:32:19.640
<v Speaker 2>from someone who listens to the podcast just recently. However,

0:32:19.960 --> 0:32:21.720
<v Speaker 2>she was on a date and she went to put

0:32:21.720 --> 0:32:23.520
<v Speaker 2>her denim jacket on and was like, oh, what's that

0:32:23.600 --> 0:32:25.480
<v Speaker 2>in the arm and put her arm through and there

0:32:25.520 --> 0:32:28.080
<v Speaker 2>was a dirty g street in the arm of her jacket,

0:32:28.840 --> 0:32:31.120
<v Speaker 2>sitting at a dinner table. So don't worry, You're in

0:32:31.240 --> 0:32:32.200
<v Speaker 2>savor company.

0:32:32.400 --> 0:32:34.440
<v Speaker 1>That is worse now, Jodanna.

0:32:34.520 --> 0:32:36.680
<v Speaker 2>The reason why we got you on the podcast was

0:32:36.720 --> 0:32:39.800
<v Speaker 2>to firstly to talk about manifesting and this idea of

0:32:40.240 --> 0:32:42.880
<v Speaker 2>what is manifestation and how can we bring it into

0:32:42.880 --> 0:32:45.760
<v Speaker 2>our lives. But also I'm just gonna come totally clean,

0:32:46.080 --> 0:32:48.120
<v Speaker 2>and because I think that some people who are listening

0:32:48.120 --> 0:32:50.560
<v Speaker 2>to this might be like, why is Laura talking about this?

0:32:51.200 --> 0:32:54.800
<v Speaker 2>I am like quite practical and quite pragmatic. And what

0:32:54.920 --> 0:32:57.840
<v Speaker 2>I really liked about your book is how you make

0:32:58.320 --> 0:33:02.880
<v Speaker 2>this concept of manifest very palatable for people who don't

0:33:02.920 --> 0:33:06.240
<v Speaker 2>know how to how to actually or what it is,

0:33:06.280 --> 0:33:07.920
<v Speaker 2>how to actualize it, and how to bring it into

0:33:07.960 --> 0:33:10.720
<v Speaker 2>their life. So firstly, let's just kick off with what

0:33:10.880 --> 0:33:12.160
<v Speaker 2>is manifesting.

0:33:12.360 --> 0:33:15.240
<v Speaker 4>Well, look, I'm the same as you. I'm super practical

0:33:15.240 --> 0:33:18.240
<v Speaker 4>and pragmatic. I happened to be raised quite spiritual. My

0:33:18.280 --> 0:33:20.480
<v Speaker 4>mum was a bit of a hippie. But I'm also

0:33:20.520 --> 0:33:22.480
<v Speaker 4>coming from the same angle as you, and I think

0:33:22.520 --> 0:33:26.880
<v Speaker 4>if you really simplify it down, manifestation is about taking

0:33:27.000 --> 0:33:30.680
<v Speaker 4>ownership of a future that you desire, and that's it.

0:33:31.040 --> 0:33:34.400
<v Speaker 2>So what was your background before you started writing books?

0:33:34.440 --> 0:33:36.040
<v Speaker 2>I know you said before you were in publishing.

0:33:36.200 --> 0:33:38.840
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I was a journalist, So I was in magazines.

0:33:39.000 --> 0:33:41.680
<v Speaker 4>Always wanted to be a writer, and I was told

0:33:41.880 --> 0:33:43.920
<v Speaker 4>in high school and I'm sure a lot of writers

0:33:43.960 --> 0:33:45.280
<v Speaker 4>can relate to this, that if you wanted to be

0:33:45.320 --> 0:33:47.239
<v Speaker 4>a writer, you had to be a journalist. So I

0:33:47.280 --> 0:33:49.719
<v Speaker 4>was like, oh, okay, So I went and studied journalism

0:33:49.880 --> 0:33:52.640
<v Speaker 4>and I didn't know what I wanted to do with it.

0:33:52.840 --> 0:33:56.120
<v Speaker 4>I thought maybe like women's magazines like Cosmo and Cleo

0:33:56.280 --> 0:33:58.640
<v Speaker 4>and all those sparkly glosses that we had growing up.

0:33:59.200 --> 0:34:01.520
<v Speaker 4>But I ended up in food publishing, of all things,

0:34:01.520 --> 0:34:03.600
<v Speaker 4>like really strange place to end up. It was lots

0:34:03.600 --> 0:34:05.280
<v Speaker 4>of eating. There was lots of eating involved. But I

0:34:05.320 --> 0:34:07.400
<v Speaker 4>kind of got to the top of the corporate ladder

0:34:07.480 --> 0:34:09.840
<v Speaker 4>in food publishing and I was like, Oh, this is

0:34:09.920 --> 0:34:12.200
<v Speaker 4>actually isn't all that fun. I'm not enjoying it at all.

0:34:12.239 --> 0:34:14.200
<v Speaker 4>So I left and I just started writing about the

0:34:14.200 --> 0:34:17.880
<v Speaker 4>things that I cared about, and then these books kind

0:34:17.920 --> 0:34:19.080
<v Speaker 4>of started to pour out of me.

0:34:19.320 --> 0:34:22.239
<v Speaker 2>Why did you have this really big pool to write

0:34:22.280 --> 0:34:25.640
<v Speaker 2>about manifestation? And I guess what happened in your life?

0:34:25.680 --> 0:34:28.120
<v Speaker 2>Was there a series of events that made you realize

0:34:28.440 --> 0:34:31.000
<v Speaker 2>that it's a thing and that you were actually bringing

0:34:31.000 --> 0:34:32.279
<v Speaker 2>these things into your life?

0:34:32.520 --> 0:34:34.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and it was for me. It was a series

0:34:34.480 --> 0:34:36.960
<v Speaker 4>of really shit things. Like I said, top of my

0:34:37.040 --> 0:34:40.680
<v Speaker 4>field in my job, I was bloody miserable. I was

0:34:40.719 --> 0:34:44.480
<v Speaker 4>in a toxic relationship, I was injuring myself all the time,

0:34:44.640 --> 0:34:47.720
<v Speaker 4>my friendships were falling apart. And I kind of sat

0:34:47.760 --> 0:34:49.920
<v Speaker 4>back one day and I was like, you know what, George,

0:34:50.000 --> 0:34:52.759
<v Speaker 4>you made all of this happen, all of this shit,

0:34:53.320 --> 0:34:56.400
<v Speaker 4>it's because of you, and it's time to take responsibility

0:34:56.480 --> 0:34:59.960
<v Speaker 4>for it. And once I realized that I had created

0:35:00.040 --> 0:35:01.880
<v Speaker 4>all this negative shit in my life, I kind of

0:35:01.880 --> 0:35:04.920
<v Speaker 4>applied the same principles to create some good stuff.

0:35:05.200 --> 0:35:08.120
<v Speaker 2>So why do you think that you when you were saying,

0:35:08.200 --> 0:35:10.320
<v Speaker 2>because that just took me back a little bit, because

0:35:10.360 --> 0:35:14.279
<v Speaker 2>I'm sort of preaching, not preaching, but sometimes when really

0:35:14.320 --> 0:35:16.319
<v Speaker 2>bad things happen, or negative things happen, or people are

0:35:16.360 --> 0:35:18.200
<v Speaker 2>in toxic relationships, you know, there'll be a big part

0:35:18.200 --> 0:35:20.759
<v Speaker 2>of me that will say, this isn't your fault, Like,

0:35:20.800 --> 0:35:22.840
<v Speaker 2>don't blame yourself for being in this relationship if this

0:35:22.880 --> 0:35:26.360
<v Speaker 2>person brought that to you. Obviously there's a part that

0:35:26.480 --> 0:35:29.319
<v Speaker 2>sometimes we stick around for too long, and I guess

0:35:29.360 --> 0:35:31.239
<v Speaker 2>we are to blame in that sense. But why do

0:35:31.320 --> 0:35:34.759
<v Speaker 2>you think you are so hard on yourself saying this

0:35:34.800 --> 0:35:35.680
<v Speaker 2>is all your fault?

0:35:36.480 --> 0:35:39.480
<v Speaker 4>Well, because it was for me, And I agree with you.

0:35:39.520 --> 0:35:43.800
<v Speaker 4>I think sometimes people are in situations that aren't their fault.

0:35:43.920 --> 0:35:46.560
<v Speaker 4>But in this circumstance, it was mine. It was me

0:35:47.719 --> 0:35:51.040
<v Speaker 4>going against what I knew I wanted out of life.

0:35:51.120 --> 0:35:53.200
<v Speaker 4>So having clarity of where I wanted to go and

0:35:53.320 --> 0:35:56.840
<v Speaker 4>not aligning any of my thoughts, my feelings, my actions

0:35:56.880 --> 0:36:02.120
<v Speaker 4>with that doing actually the complete opposite, staying in situations

0:36:02.160 --> 0:36:05.160
<v Speaker 4>that weren't serving me at all. I was getting severely

0:36:05.239 --> 0:36:08.000
<v Speaker 4>bullied by my boss at the time, and like I said,

0:36:08.080 --> 0:36:10.600
<v Speaker 4>I was in a toxic relationship that I had the

0:36:10.680 --> 0:36:13.200
<v Speaker 4>ability to walk out of, and I didn't. I stayed

0:36:13.200 --> 0:36:15.239
<v Speaker 4>in it a lot longer than I should have. And

0:36:15.320 --> 0:36:18.440
<v Speaker 4>I think when people start to do some self reflection

0:36:19.000 --> 0:36:22.160
<v Speaker 4>on certain areas of their life, they can tell when

0:36:22.280 --> 0:36:25.640
<v Speaker 4>it's something that they actually can be taking responsibility for.

0:36:25.880 --> 0:36:28.480
<v Speaker 5>One of the things that I really liked and appreciated

0:36:28.600 --> 0:36:31.960
<v Speaker 5>from your book, and it's this idea that whether we

0:36:32.040 --> 0:36:35.120
<v Speaker 5>are actively doing it or we're subconsciously doing it, there

0:36:35.200 --> 0:36:37.640
<v Speaker 5>is still it's still happening. And I look back on

0:36:37.719 --> 0:36:40.920
<v Speaker 5>my relationship and I've spoken about it loads on the podcast,

0:36:41.000 --> 0:36:43.720
<v Speaker 5>but when I was going through this cycle of dating

0:36:43.760 --> 0:36:46.279
<v Speaker 5>the same kind of guy over and over and over

0:36:46.320 --> 0:36:48.880
<v Speaker 5>and then having the same type of relationship over.

0:36:48.760 --> 0:36:49.479
<v Speaker 1>And over and over.

0:36:49.920 --> 0:36:51.440
<v Speaker 5>It's only now that I'm out of it and I'm

0:36:51.480 --> 0:36:53.239
<v Speaker 5>in a really happy place in my life, and I

0:36:53.280 --> 0:36:56.400
<v Speaker 5>have done some work on myself that I go okay,

0:36:56.680 --> 0:36:59.319
<v Speaker 5>as much as I was harping on about the fact

0:36:59.320 --> 0:37:01.480
<v Speaker 5>that I wanted to it a nice guy, and you know,

0:37:01.520 --> 0:37:03.160
<v Speaker 5>there was no nice guys in Sydney and I wanted

0:37:03.160 --> 0:37:06.120
<v Speaker 5>someone who treated me properly. I wasn't doing anything to

0:37:06.160 --> 0:37:07.799
<v Speaker 5>be able to attrack that into my life, like I

0:37:07.880 --> 0:37:11.160
<v Speaker 5>was still pursuing, and if anything, I was attracted to

0:37:11.320 --> 0:37:13.600
<v Speaker 5>the guys that were never going to provide that for me.

0:37:14.080 --> 0:37:15.960
<v Speaker 5>And so I think, whether or not you're consciously doing

0:37:16.000 --> 0:37:18.960
<v Speaker 5>it or you're subconsciously doing it, this idea that if

0:37:19.000 --> 0:37:22.080
<v Speaker 5>your actions and your thoughts don't align, then it can

0:37:22.120 --> 0:37:23.799
<v Speaker 5>either set you on a positive path or a very

0:37:23.840 --> 0:37:24.680
<v Speaker 5>very negative path.

0:37:24.920 --> 0:37:26.919
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and you've really hit the nail on the head

0:37:26.920 --> 0:37:29.600
<v Speaker 4>with that, Laura, because you know, I hear so many women,

0:37:29.640 --> 0:37:32.640
<v Speaker 4>and I've said it myself, say why do I keep

0:37:32.760 --> 0:37:35.920
<v Speaker 4>attracting the same type of guys or you know, women,

0:37:35.960 --> 0:37:38.560
<v Speaker 4>whatever it might be. And the truth is, when you

0:37:38.600 --> 0:37:41.120
<v Speaker 4>really step back and you look at your type that

0:37:41.200 --> 0:37:44.520
<v Speaker 4>hasn't been working for you, it's who you're attracted to,

0:37:45.239 --> 0:37:49.080
<v Speaker 4>you know. And for me it was narcissists. I loved

0:37:49.160 --> 0:37:53.000
<v Speaker 4>them because they're so charming, guilty. Put our hands up.

0:37:53.520 --> 0:37:54.040
<v Speaker 1>It's guilty.

0:37:54.120 --> 0:37:57.480
<v Speaker 4>And you know you can say, why are narciss is

0:37:57.560 --> 0:38:00.560
<v Speaker 4>attracted to me? But it's like you all the common nominator.

0:38:00.640 --> 0:38:04.120
<v Speaker 4>So really, yes, taking a step back and seeing what

0:38:04.160 --> 0:38:06.799
<v Speaker 4>you're doing consciously, but also what's playing out on a

0:38:07.120 --> 0:38:08.120
<v Speaker 4>subconscious level.

0:38:08.280 --> 0:38:11.760
<v Speaker 5>So talk me through manifestation and what does it comprise

0:38:11.840 --> 0:38:13.720
<v Speaker 5>of and how can we implement it in our lives?

0:38:13.719 --> 0:38:15.240
<v Speaker 5>Like kind of give me the rundown.

0:38:15.360 --> 0:38:17.759
<v Speaker 4>I'll give you guys an equation if you like. It's

0:38:17.760 --> 0:38:21.560
<v Speaker 4>called the manifestation equation, and it goes like this, thoughts

0:38:21.840 --> 0:38:28.080
<v Speaker 4>plus feelings plus actions plus faith equal successful manifestation. And

0:38:28.120 --> 0:38:31.200
<v Speaker 4>it's only when you apply all four parts of the

0:38:31.239 --> 0:38:36.240
<v Speaker 4>equation together that you really get to that successful manifestation.

0:38:36.480 --> 0:38:39.000
<v Speaker 4>So it's about saying, what is it that I want

0:38:39.040 --> 0:38:43.200
<v Speaker 4>to create in my life? Are my thoughts aligned with

0:38:43.280 --> 0:38:47.680
<v Speaker 4>that intention or are they actually you know, the opposite?

0:38:47.680 --> 0:38:50.439
<v Speaker 4>Are they putting me in the other direction? How would

0:38:50.560 --> 0:38:53.719
<v Speaker 4>having that thing manifest make me feel? And can I

0:38:53.760 --> 0:38:57.239
<v Speaker 4>start to feel those things now before I achieve it?

0:38:57.320 --> 0:39:00.160
<v Speaker 4>Because if we're just waiting to get to a feeling

0:39:00.200 --> 0:39:02.680
<v Speaker 4>and we can't actually sit in it right now, then

0:39:02.680 --> 0:39:04.279
<v Speaker 4>what's the point of it. We don't even know what

0:39:04.280 --> 0:39:05.919
<v Speaker 4>it is we want to create. We need to create

0:39:06.000 --> 0:39:09.800
<v Speaker 4>those vibrations now in the present. The third thing, which

0:39:10.080 --> 0:39:13.839
<v Speaker 4>a lot of manifestation texts leave out, and I think

0:39:13.920 --> 0:39:15.839
<v Speaker 4>this is why it's been put in the Woo woo

0:39:15.880 --> 0:39:20.000
<v Speaker 4>spiritual basket, is the action piece, like what action steps

0:39:20.000 --> 0:39:22.839
<v Speaker 4>are you taking, what responsibility are you taking to get

0:39:22.880 --> 0:39:25.920
<v Speaker 4>closer to that intention? And then the last piece is

0:39:25.960 --> 0:39:29.680
<v Speaker 4>the faith piece, and that's trust in yourself that you're

0:39:29.719 --> 0:39:31.560
<v Speaker 4>worthy and deserving of the thing that you want to

0:39:31.600 --> 0:39:34.919
<v Speaker 4>create in your life, but also having faith that there's

0:39:34.920 --> 0:39:38.359
<v Speaker 4>something bigger than you, something greater than you, that's out

0:39:38.400 --> 0:39:40.760
<v Speaker 4>there working with you. So I call it the universe,

0:39:40.800 --> 0:39:42.840
<v Speaker 4>but you might call it God or you know, whatever

0:39:42.880 --> 0:39:45.680
<v Speaker 4>you want to call it. And that's the idea that

0:39:46.160 --> 0:39:49.080
<v Speaker 4>if the thing that you're trying to create doesn't happen,

0:39:49.719 --> 0:39:52.600
<v Speaker 4>maybe it's because there's something better waiting for you, and

0:39:52.719 --> 0:39:56.120
<v Speaker 4>kind of holding onto that feeling rather than this idea

0:39:56.200 --> 0:39:58.400
<v Speaker 4>of oh, the world's against me and I'm being punished

0:39:58.440 --> 0:40:00.160
<v Speaker 4>and I'm just, you know, never going to get what

0:40:00.200 --> 0:40:00.520
<v Speaker 4>I want.

0:40:00.680 --> 0:40:03.120
<v Speaker 2>What's your opinion, And this might be a controversial ask

0:40:03.320 --> 0:40:05.360
<v Speaker 2>but what's your opinion on things like the Secret.

0:40:05.480 --> 0:40:08.640
<v Speaker 4>I mean, the Secret's great, it's how I got into manifestation,

0:40:08.880 --> 0:40:11.759
<v Speaker 4>but at a certain level, it's flawed. It's based on

0:40:12.160 --> 0:40:14.759
<v Speaker 4>the law of attraction, which states, you know, positive things

0:40:14.800 --> 0:40:17.840
<v Speaker 4>created a positive outcome, negative things created negative outcome. And

0:40:17.880 --> 0:40:20.200
<v Speaker 4>the idea is that it's based on our thoughts, So

0:40:20.280 --> 0:40:22.480
<v Speaker 4>think good things you know, and everything that you want

0:40:22.520 --> 0:40:24.880
<v Speaker 4>will will come to you. There's a problem with that,

0:40:25.040 --> 0:40:28.480
<v Speaker 4>and the problem is that there was a study conducted

0:40:28.560 --> 0:40:32.400
<v Speaker 4>at Michigan State University that basically said that something like

0:40:32.520 --> 0:40:35.480
<v Speaker 4>eighty five percent of our thoughts that we have every

0:40:35.560 --> 0:40:38.919
<v Speaker 4>day are untrue, and about eighty percent of our thoughts

0:40:39.000 --> 0:40:40.719
<v Speaker 4>are just repeats of the thoughts that we had the

0:40:40.800 --> 0:40:44.040
<v Speaker 4>day before. So, I mean, that's a lot of stuff

0:40:44.040 --> 0:40:47.760
<v Speaker 4>that you can't actually factor as truth, right, that's running

0:40:47.800 --> 0:40:50.280
<v Speaker 4>around in our head day to day. And of those

0:40:50.320 --> 0:40:53.759
<v Speaker 4>thoughts that are untrue, like one hundred percent of them

0:40:53.800 --> 0:40:58.040
<v Speaker 4>are about ourselves. So if we were purely basing manifestation

0:40:58.160 --> 0:41:00.879
<v Speaker 4>on our thoughts, we actually wouldn't get very and it's

0:41:00.920 --> 0:41:04.799
<v Speaker 4>impossible to think positive thoughts all the time. Instead, what

0:41:04.840 --> 0:41:06.400
<v Speaker 4>you want to do with your thoughts is like I

0:41:06.400 --> 0:41:09.160
<v Speaker 4>said before, is just make sure day to day that

0:41:09.239 --> 0:41:11.800
<v Speaker 4>your thoughts are religned with what you want to create.

0:41:11.880 --> 0:41:15.400
<v Speaker 4>If you want to find the perfect partner, telling yourself

0:41:15.400 --> 0:41:18.640
<v Speaker 4>constantly that you're never going to is not going to help.

0:41:18.719 --> 0:41:21.840
<v Speaker 4>We are all manifesting every second of the day without

0:41:21.880 --> 0:41:24.239
<v Speaker 4>even realizing that we're doing it. So what I'm trying

0:41:24.280 --> 0:41:26.760
<v Speaker 4>to get everyone to do is do it with conscious

0:41:26.760 --> 0:41:29.839
<v Speaker 4>intentions so that we can start to manifest the things

0:41:29.840 --> 0:41:32.640
<v Speaker 4>that we really want to. If you start to look

0:41:32.640 --> 0:41:35.200
<v Speaker 4>at everything in your life you've created, and Laura, I'm

0:41:35.239 --> 0:41:38.360
<v Speaker 4>interested to hear what you think in the whole Bachelor

0:41:38.440 --> 0:41:41.120
<v Speaker 4>experience and where you've gotten to now having watched the

0:41:41.160 --> 0:41:43.680
<v Speaker 4>Secret in the House, I mean, do you think that

0:41:43.880 --> 0:41:46.640
<v Speaker 4>on a subconscious or a conscious level that that was

0:41:46.680 --> 0:41:47.880
<v Speaker 4>something that you created?

0:41:48.280 --> 0:41:51.319
<v Speaker 5>You spoke about something in High Love which is like

0:41:51.400 --> 0:41:54.080
<v Speaker 5>Kismet connections, and I kind of wanted to get into

0:41:54.080 --> 0:41:56.120
<v Speaker 5>that and have you explain that. But this, I mean,

0:41:56.120 --> 0:41:57.759
<v Speaker 5>I'm sure there's going to be some people listening to

0:41:57.800 --> 0:42:00.400
<v Speaker 5>this who know this story, but for anyone who doesn't,

0:42:00.760 --> 0:42:03.440
<v Speaker 5>I saw Matt before ever going on The Bachelor, So

0:42:03.680 --> 0:42:06.200
<v Speaker 5>I was at Iceberg's at the gym and I went

0:42:06.239 --> 0:42:07.960
<v Speaker 5>into the sauna and there was a guy there who

0:42:08.040 --> 0:42:10.560
<v Speaker 5>was super hot, and I didn't recognize who he was

0:42:10.560 --> 0:42:11.120
<v Speaker 5>because I had.

0:42:11.040 --> 0:42:12.240
<v Speaker 1>Never watched The Bachelor before.

0:42:12.280 --> 0:42:17.520
<v Speaker 2>But when Matt was sitting next to that guy, we

0:42:17.760 --> 0:42:21.360
<v Speaker 2>just locked eyes and had a real moment. Nothing was said,

0:42:21.400 --> 0:42:23.719
<v Speaker 2>there was no conversation, and then I went on with

0:42:23.760 --> 0:42:25.080
<v Speaker 2>my day. I mean, you know when you kind of

0:42:25.160 --> 0:42:27.480
<v Speaker 2>see someone or someone crosses your path and you have

0:42:27.560 --> 0:42:29.880
<v Speaker 2>that real, like thump to the chest, and then that

0:42:30.000 --> 0:42:30.359
<v Speaker 2>was it.

0:42:30.400 --> 0:42:31.719
<v Speaker 1>Months and months later.

0:42:31.640 --> 0:42:33.960
<v Speaker 5>I rocked up on the show and then there was

0:42:34.000 --> 0:42:35.799
<v Speaker 5>the guy from the sauna standing at the end of

0:42:35.800 --> 0:42:38.360
<v Speaker 5>the footpath and it was on our first date. It

0:42:38.360 --> 0:42:40.200
<v Speaker 5>it got edited out, but on our first date I

0:42:40.200 --> 0:42:41.840
<v Speaker 5>said to him, I was like, oh, I have this really.

0:42:42.360 --> 0:42:44.160
<v Speaker 5>I mean, you're gonna think I'm a weirdo, but I

0:42:44.239 --> 0:42:46.640
<v Speaker 5>have this. We've crossed paths before.

0:42:46.680 --> 0:42:48.000
<v Speaker 1>And he was like, yeah, I know, you're the girl

0:42:48.040 --> 0:42:48.640
<v Speaker 1>from the sauna.

0:42:49.160 --> 0:42:51.040
<v Speaker 2>So they never showed that because I think it would

0:42:51.080 --> 0:42:54.520
<v Speaker 2>have ended up giving away the ending the totally. But

0:42:54.680 --> 0:42:58.200
<v Speaker 2>when you described this thing called Kismet connections in your book,

0:42:58.239 --> 0:43:00.480
<v Speaker 2>and I would love for you to explain what that is,

0:43:00.760 --> 0:43:03.640
<v Speaker 2>I really felt quite aligned to my personal experience with

0:43:03.719 --> 0:43:06.880
<v Speaker 2>Matt in that and in the explanation of what that is.

0:43:07.440 --> 0:43:11.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, well, Kismet basically means fate or destiny. It's actually

0:43:11.440 --> 0:43:14.560
<v Speaker 4>an Islamic term. It's about fate and destiny. So you

0:43:14.560 --> 0:43:17.640
<v Speaker 4>know that movie Serendipity, Guys, I've watched that with John

0:43:17.719 --> 0:43:20.239
<v Speaker 4>Cusack and Kave can Sell. A great movie that was

0:43:20.280 --> 0:43:22.840
<v Speaker 4>a Kismet encounter, you know, like it was meant to be.

0:43:23.600 --> 0:43:27.719
<v Speaker 4>And I think there are situations in our life, in

0:43:27.760 --> 0:43:30.400
<v Speaker 4>relationships where that is true. And I think that you

0:43:30.440 --> 0:43:33.200
<v Speaker 4>and Matt are a perfect example of that Kismet connection.

0:43:34.000 --> 0:43:38.239
<v Speaker 4>I think what happens sometimes with the fantasies that we

0:43:38.440 --> 0:43:42.359
<v Speaker 4>run is that women, especially start to think that the

0:43:42.400 --> 0:43:46.080
<v Speaker 4>only time a relationship is valid is when there is

0:43:46.160 --> 0:43:50.080
<v Speaker 4>a Kismet encounter attached to it, and I think that

0:43:50.080 --> 0:43:51.239
<v Speaker 4>that can stump us.

0:43:51.560 --> 0:43:55.280
<v Speaker 5>It can also mean that if you're in a toxic relationship,

0:43:55.360 --> 0:43:57.839
<v Speaker 5>but you have had this sort of Kismet encounter, like

0:43:57.880 --> 0:44:00.920
<v Speaker 5>you have had a really incredible attract to this person's

0:44:00.960 --> 0:44:03.560
<v Speaker 5>start or a really unique way that you've met, you

0:44:03.600 --> 0:44:05.640
<v Speaker 5>can also hold onto that and it can be this

0:44:05.880 --> 0:44:08.320
<v Speaker 5>something that keeps pulling you back to them because you're like, well, no,

0:44:08.400 --> 0:44:11.319
<v Speaker 5>we're supposed to be and you buy into that fairy

0:44:11.400 --> 0:44:14.080
<v Speaker 5>tale and you buy into that narrative, and maybe you

0:44:14.280 --> 0:44:17.160
<v Speaker 5>hold onto a relationship far past the expiry date just

0:44:17.200 --> 0:44:19.440
<v Speaker 5>because the beginning of it was something that was so

0:44:19.480 --> 0:44:21.520
<v Speaker 5>special and hard to let go of.

0:44:21.880 --> 0:44:25.960
<v Speaker 4>Absolutely, I've had that happened to me twice, and I

0:44:26.000 --> 0:44:27.640
<v Speaker 4>didn't learn it the first time. I had to learn

0:44:27.640 --> 0:44:30.279
<v Speaker 4>it the second time. But yeah, it can. It can

0:44:30.360 --> 0:44:32.520
<v Speaker 4>keep you stuck. First time, it kept me stuck in

0:44:32.560 --> 0:44:35.560
<v Speaker 4>an on and off relationship for twelve years. It's a

0:44:35.600 --> 0:44:36.200
<v Speaker 4>long time.

0:44:37.640 --> 0:44:39.400
<v Speaker 1>It's too long to be on and off. You're like,

0:44:39.520 --> 0:44:41.120
<v Speaker 1>I learned my lessons and that's why I wrote a

0:44:41.120 --> 0:44:41.680
<v Speaker 1>book about it.

0:44:41.719 --> 0:44:43.879
<v Speaker 4>But I was about to say that's why Higher Love

0:44:44.000 --> 0:44:46.680
<v Speaker 4>was written. So thank you twelve year on enough relationship.

0:44:46.800 --> 0:44:51.200
<v Speaker 2>Ah. So you speak about this thing called personal vibrations,

0:44:51.239 --> 0:44:53.520
<v Speaker 2>and you mentioned it at the very beginning as well.

0:44:53.719 --> 0:44:56.759
<v Speaker 2>Can you explain to us what is personal vibrations and

0:44:56.800 --> 0:44:58.800
<v Speaker 2>why is it so important in the dating world.

0:44:58.880 --> 0:45:02.759
<v Speaker 4>Personal vibration Basically, it's just a term I use to

0:45:02.800 --> 0:45:06.879
<v Speaker 4>get people to tune into that version of themselves where

0:45:06.880 --> 0:45:10.640
<v Speaker 4>they feel most like them, So it's different for everybody,

0:45:10.960 --> 0:45:13.160
<v Speaker 4>but like if you can imagine a moment in your

0:45:13.239 --> 0:45:17.879
<v Speaker 4>life or a circumstance where you feel completely like you,

0:45:17.960 --> 0:45:20.640
<v Speaker 4>like your most authentic self. So for me, it's around

0:45:20.640 --> 0:45:23.440
<v Speaker 4>certain friends and you know, like you can feel your

0:45:23.480 --> 0:45:27.239
<v Speaker 4>posture change, your words flow easily. I find if I'm

0:45:27.280 --> 0:45:29.520
<v Speaker 4>around the right kind of people, I can be quite witty.

0:45:30.160 --> 0:45:33.080
<v Speaker 4>I feel very intelligent and smart. I say fun things.

0:45:33.560 --> 0:45:36.120
<v Speaker 4>And then you know those moments when you're not in

0:45:36.160 --> 0:45:40.000
<v Speaker 4>those situations and you just feel uncomfortable and like you

0:45:40.040 --> 0:45:44.799
<v Speaker 4>can't tap into you at your most authentic self. Yeah,

0:45:44.840 --> 0:45:49.200
<v Speaker 4>So when you know the situations when you're not feeling

0:45:49.320 --> 0:45:52.040
<v Speaker 4>like yourself and you're stumbling on your words and you

0:45:52.080 --> 0:45:54.960
<v Speaker 4>can't be funny, I mean, being funny to me is

0:45:55.040 --> 0:45:57.719
<v Speaker 4>like my greatest attribute. So when I'm in a situation

0:45:57.760 --> 0:46:01.000
<v Speaker 4>where I can't say anything witty, I know something's off,

0:46:01.200 --> 0:46:02.920
<v Speaker 4>you know, like the energy in the room's just not

0:46:03.160 --> 0:46:06.120
<v Speaker 4>my vibe. And that's what I want people to tune

0:46:06.200 --> 0:46:09.759
<v Speaker 4>into with their personal vibration. What are the things that

0:46:09.960 --> 0:46:13.319
<v Speaker 4>strengthen your personal vibration that make you feel like this

0:46:13.480 --> 0:46:16.120
<v Speaker 4>radiant version of you, And what are the things that

0:46:16.160 --> 0:46:18.640
<v Speaker 4>weaken it, and can you do less of the things

0:46:18.680 --> 0:46:20.920
<v Speaker 4>that we can it and lean towards those things that

0:46:21.000 --> 0:46:21.640
<v Speaker 4>strengthen it.

0:46:22.000 --> 0:46:24.359
<v Speaker 2>So, what are some things that can negatively affect your

0:46:24.360 --> 0:46:27.040
<v Speaker 2>personal vibrations? Is that just like putting yourself on dates

0:46:27.160 --> 0:46:30.319
<v Speaker 2>or in situations or nights out when you don't want

0:46:30.320 --> 0:46:31.000
<v Speaker 2>to be in that place?

0:46:31.040 --> 0:46:32.839
<v Speaker 1>What are the things or is it more like the

0:46:32.840 --> 0:46:34.640
<v Speaker 1>food dre eating and the alcohol you're drinking.

0:46:34.719 --> 0:46:36.640
<v Speaker 2>Is it more like physical things that you're put into

0:46:36.640 --> 0:46:37.080
<v Speaker 2>your body.

0:46:37.360 --> 0:46:39.400
<v Speaker 4>I think it's all those things. It's like, I mean,

0:46:39.440 --> 0:46:42.239
<v Speaker 4>alcohol's a really good example of it. There are are

0:46:42.280 --> 0:46:44.719
<v Speaker 4>moments in my life if I'm in a really good

0:46:44.760 --> 0:46:47.839
<v Speaker 4>headspace where I can go out and have a few

0:46:47.920 --> 0:46:50.719
<v Speaker 4>drinks and feel great and feel good the next day,

0:46:50.760 --> 0:46:53.279
<v Speaker 4>you know, maybe a bit hungover, but feel okay. But

0:46:53.360 --> 0:46:55.520
<v Speaker 4>there are times where I'm going through a bit of

0:46:55.560 --> 0:46:58.360
<v Speaker 4>shit and maybe my personal vibration is a little bit weaker,

0:46:58.719 --> 0:47:01.200
<v Speaker 4>and if I go out and have few I'm just oppressed.

0:47:01.239 --> 0:47:03.040
<v Speaker 4>It's not a fun time at all, you know. So

0:47:03.200 --> 0:47:06.520
<v Speaker 4>being aware of that alcohol is a funny one because

0:47:06.560 --> 0:47:08.719
<v Speaker 4>of course it's going to change our state of mind,

0:47:08.880 --> 0:47:13.080
<v Speaker 4>change our mood. But things like work environments where you

0:47:13.160 --> 0:47:16.680
<v Speaker 4>go and you just can't tap into a good version

0:47:16.719 --> 0:47:20.480
<v Speaker 4>of yourself. You're just constantly feeling dragged down. Or certain

0:47:20.520 --> 0:47:23.080
<v Speaker 4>people in your life you know, and they might even

0:47:23.120 --> 0:47:26.360
<v Speaker 4>be your friends unfortunately, but like you know that every

0:47:26.400 --> 0:47:28.040
<v Speaker 4>time you go and meet them for a coffee, you

0:47:28.120 --> 0:47:30.680
<v Speaker 4>actually walk away feeling worse than when you sat down.

0:47:31.239 --> 0:47:34.560
<v Speaker 4>And it's just being aware of what those things are

0:47:35.160 --> 0:47:38.680
<v Speaker 4>and knowing that if you want to start attracting things

0:47:38.719 --> 0:47:42.200
<v Speaker 4>into your life, you need to have that strong vibration.

0:47:42.800 --> 0:47:45.360
<v Speaker 4>And the reason I say that is there is a

0:47:45.480 --> 0:47:48.520
<v Speaker 4>universal law called the law of vibration, and the law

0:47:48.520 --> 0:47:51.320
<v Speaker 4>of vibration states that everything in the universe vibrates on

0:47:51.400 --> 0:47:54.839
<v Speaker 4>its own frequency, and things with a similar frequency are

0:47:54.920 --> 0:47:57.840
<v Speaker 4>drawn together. So really, what we want to start doing

0:47:58.040 --> 0:48:00.040
<v Speaker 4>is we want to start vibrating on a frequent and

0:48:00.080 --> 0:48:02.879
<v Speaker 4>see that's us at our best. And I'm not saying

0:48:02.880 --> 0:48:05.200
<v Speaker 4>that we can be that all times, at all times

0:48:05.239 --> 0:48:08.040
<v Speaker 4>of day, but if we can try and be in

0:48:08.080 --> 0:48:10.400
<v Speaker 4>a strong vibration as much as possible, we're going to

0:48:10.520 --> 0:48:15.200
<v Speaker 4>start to attract someone or something or some job that's

0:48:15.239 --> 0:48:16.799
<v Speaker 4>on a similar vibration to that.

0:48:17.200 --> 0:48:19.279
<v Speaker 5>I mean, I think like from us as much as

0:48:19.320 --> 0:48:22.000
<v Speaker 5>we haven't done so many episodes that are kind of

0:48:22.200 --> 0:48:23.760
<v Speaker 5>in this spirituality field.

0:48:23.800 --> 0:48:24.200
<v Speaker 1>A lot of the.

0:48:24.200 --> 0:48:27.880
<v Speaker 5>Stuff that we talk about is exactly this but packaged

0:48:27.960 --> 0:48:32.319
<v Speaker 5>up differently. This idea of like saying, no knowing your boundaries,

0:48:32.560 --> 0:48:35.160
<v Speaker 5>putting parameters in place in your life that allow you

0:48:35.239 --> 0:48:37.400
<v Speaker 5>to kind of live your authentic self.

0:48:37.680 --> 0:48:39.759
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I agree with you. And like I said to

0:48:39.760 --> 0:48:43.520
<v Speaker 4>you before, like I'm not a super spiritual person. I

0:48:43.600 --> 0:48:47.680
<v Speaker 4>happen to write books and have podcasts that have spiritual content.

0:48:48.040 --> 0:48:50.920
<v Speaker 4>But I think the reason that they do so well

0:48:51.160 --> 0:48:54.800
<v Speaker 4>is because of the practicality and relatability that I offer

0:48:54.880 --> 0:48:57.440
<v Speaker 4>in them. And I think, you know, the messages that

0:48:57.480 --> 0:49:00.600
<v Speaker 4>we get, like you said, through these spiritual teachings already

0:49:00.640 --> 0:49:02.840
<v Speaker 4>being taught in everyday life. It's just looking at it

0:49:02.880 --> 0:49:03.720
<v Speaker 4>from a different angle.

0:49:04.080 --> 0:49:06.040
<v Speaker 2>I also just want to say as well, like there

0:49:06.080 --> 0:49:08.200
<v Speaker 2>is and I think that sometimes it can come with judgment.

0:49:08.239 --> 0:49:10.759
<v Speaker 2>And when I say that I am not someone who's

0:49:10.800 --> 0:49:12.640
<v Speaker 2>been able to tap into it, this is not me

0:49:12.719 --> 0:49:15.759
<v Speaker 2>in any way judging somebody else who finds ease in

0:49:15.760 --> 0:49:18.680
<v Speaker 2>tapping into their idea and the conversation around spirituality. It's

0:49:18.719 --> 0:49:21.440
<v Speaker 2>just something that has been relatively new for me, and

0:49:21.520 --> 0:49:23.520
<v Speaker 2>there is no judgment attached to it. There's no like

0:49:23.640 --> 0:49:25.239
<v Speaker 2>this is the right way and this is the wrong way.

0:49:25.280 --> 0:49:28.320
<v Speaker 2>Wherever you are on your own personal journey and however

0:49:28.360 --> 0:49:31.640
<v Speaker 2>this resonates with you is what's most important. Yeah, well,

0:49:31.640 --> 0:49:34.160
<v Speaker 2>I think it's really important too that we drive home

0:49:34.200 --> 0:49:36.760
<v Speaker 2>the fact and this is the whole concept of your book,

0:49:36.840 --> 0:49:39.799
<v Speaker 2>Like the whole foundation is that it is one thing

0:49:40.000 --> 0:49:42.440
<v Speaker 2>to one hundred percent manifest something. You need to be

0:49:42.520 --> 0:49:44.239
<v Speaker 2>a positive energy, and you need to put out what

0:49:44.280 --> 0:49:46.000
<v Speaker 2>you want to get back. And everybody needs to think

0:49:46.040 --> 0:49:50.000
<v Speaker 2>for a second about when you are around somebody that's

0:49:50.000 --> 0:49:51.719
<v Speaker 2>a bit toxic for you or a bit negative, all

0:49:51.760 --> 0:49:53.400
<v Speaker 2>that's pulling you down, and every time you leave and

0:49:53.440 --> 0:49:55.640
<v Speaker 2>you're feeling exhausted, you don't ever want to be that

0:49:55.640 --> 0:49:57.719
<v Speaker 2>person to someone else either. So I do think that

0:49:57.760 --> 0:49:59.560
<v Speaker 2>what you put out is what you get back. But

0:49:59.640 --> 0:50:02.920
<v Speaker 2>having said that, you can't just sit in your room

0:50:03.719 --> 0:50:06.160
<v Speaker 2>and write down and wish you were in a loving

0:50:06.200 --> 0:50:07.719
<v Speaker 2>relationship and you had a boyfriend and then not doing

0:50:07.719 --> 0:50:09.320
<v Speaker 2>anything about it. You can't not go and meet people

0:50:09.360 --> 0:50:11.160
<v Speaker 2>and you can't knock on their dating apps. You can't

0:50:11.200 --> 0:50:12.680
<v Speaker 2>sit in your room and say I want to be

0:50:12.719 --> 0:50:15.320
<v Speaker 2>an actress, but never go for an audition, And I

0:50:15.360 --> 0:50:17.800
<v Speaker 2>think there's something that I've come across a lot in life.

0:50:17.880 --> 0:50:19.319
<v Speaker 2>I've had a lot of people say to me, you're

0:50:19.360 --> 0:50:22.799
<v Speaker 2>so lucky, and I am very lucky. I feel very

0:50:22.880 --> 0:50:26.320
<v Speaker 2>lucky and very blessed in my life, but things don't

0:50:26.400 --> 0:50:29.200
<v Speaker 2>happen to me out of luck. People don't see how

0:50:29.239 --> 0:50:32.120
<v Speaker 2>many times I've gone for an audition or a job

0:50:32.200 --> 0:50:35.279
<v Speaker 2>and I have had the no answer, or they don't

0:50:35.280 --> 0:50:38.560
<v Speaker 2>see how many times I went even for a medical job,

0:50:38.600 --> 0:50:40.400
<v Speaker 2>like a radiology job, and it hasn't worked out, or

0:50:40.400 --> 0:50:41.600
<v Speaker 2>I haven't got the promotion I want.

0:50:41.640 --> 0:50:43.239
<v Speaker 1>But then they see that you get it.

0:50:43.320 --> 0:50:45.520
<v Speaker 2>One day, you finally get what you want, and all

0:50:45.560 --> 0:50:47.200
<v Speaker 2>of a sudden, I was like, you're so lucky, and

0:50:47.239 --> 0:50:47.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, well, i'm not.

0:50:48.480 --> 0:50:49.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure I wanted it, but.

0:50:49.600 --> 0:50:52.560
<v Speaker 2>I actioned it over and over and over again until

0:50:52.560 --> 0:50:53.600
<v Speaker 2>I got what I wanted.

0:50:53.960 --> 0:50:56.319
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I'm with you one hundred percent. I've had that

0:50:56.440 --> 0:50:59.440
<v Speaker 4>my whole career. You're so lucky, you always get every

0:50:59.480 --> 0:51:02.480
<v Speaker 4>job you go for. Oh my god, you've published two books.

0:51:02.480 --> 0:51:04.640
<v Speaker 4>I'm like, yeah, it only took me twenty years. You know,

0:51:04.840 --> 0:51:07.239
<v Speaker 4>like there's no overnight success to it.

0:51:08.080 --> 0:51:10.640
<v Speaker 5>And I know that this idea We've actually spoken about

0:51:10.640 --> 0:51:13.400
<v Speaker 5>this just recently, this idea of like an overnight success,

0:51:13.480 --> 0:51:15.959
<v Speaker 5>what seems like an overnight success is never the case,

0:51:16.000 --> 0:51:17.680
<v Speaker 5>and that we all have our own pitfalls and our

0:51:17.719 --> 0:51:20.399
<v Speaker 5>own challenges and it's only through talking about our own

0:51:20.440 --> 0:51:24.920
<v Speaker 5>personal experiences that it kind of normalizes that journey for everyone. Yeah,

0:51:24.960 --> 0:51:26.719
<v Speaker 5>I do think it's kind of important to say that

0:51:26.760 --> 0:51:29.319
<v Speaker 5>as much as we have worked hard to achieve the

0:51:29.320 --> 0:51:31.280
<v Speaker 5>things that we've achieved in life, there is a certain

0:51:31.360 --> 0:51:34.319
<v Speaker 5>level of privilege that comes as well. So there would

0:51:34.320 --> 0:51:36.720
<v Speaker 5>be someone listening to this who would go, yes, maybe

0:51:36.719 --> 0:51:40.160
<v Speaker 5>you've had failures, but you started at a more privileged

0:51:40.200 --> 0:51:42.680
<v Speaker 5>starting point to be able to achieve the things, and

0:51:42.760 --> 0:51:44.960
<v Speaker 5>somebody else. And I know that we're all on a difference,

0:51:45.120 --> 0:51:47.000
<v Speaker 5>like we're all on different spectrum with this, So I

0:51:47.000 --> 0:51:48.320
<v Speaker 5>think that's important to technologe.

0:51:48.360 --> 0:51:50.920
<v Speaker 4>It's a really good thing to talk about, especially in

0:51:50.960 --> 0:51:54.359
<v Speaker 4>the world of manifestation, because I think, especially in the

0:51:54.560 --> 0:51:58.560
<v Speaker 4>girl's spiritual world, manifestation gets put up on a pedestal

0:51:58.600 --> 0:52:02.840
<v Speaker 4>of privilege, and it's true, it is privilege. Manifestation is privilege.

0:52:02.880 --> 0:52:05.040
<v Speaker 4>But if we really want to break it down to

0:52:05.120 --> 0:52:08.000
<v Speaker 4>the simpler things in life, like I said at the

0:52:08.120 --> 0:52:11.800
<v Speaker 4>very beginning of this podcast, it's about creating a future

0:52:11.840 --> 0:52:14.359
<v Speaker 4>that you desire, and that future is the world that

0:52:14.400 --> 0:52:16.440
<v Speaker 4>you live in and what you can create through that.

0:52:17.040 --> 0:52:21.320
<v Speaker 4>I think what's really important with manifestation is this idea

0:52:22.360 --> 0:52:24.479
<v Speaker 4>that a lot of people don't see and they don't

0:52:24.520 --> 0:52:27.520
<v Speaker 4>talk a lot about in the text, is your level

0:52:27.560 --> 0:52:31.279
<v Speaker 4>of self worth is directly correlated to what it is

0:52:31.320 --> 0:52:33.880
<v Speaker 4>you're able to manifest in your life. So in the

0:52:33.920 --> 0:52:36.960
<v Speaker 4>areas of your life where you're lacking self worth or

0:52:37.000 --> 0:52:39.359
<v Speaker 4>you don't feel deserving of the things that you want

0:52:39.400 --> 0:52:43.000
<v Speaker 4>to create, you're going to find manifestation quite tricky. And

0:52:43.120 --> 0:52:45.960
<v Speaker 4>in the areas of your life where you have lots

0:52:46.000 --> 0:52:49.040
<v Speaker 4>of confidence and really high levels of self worth, you'll

0:52:49.080 --> 0:52:52.520
<v Speaker 4>probably find that manifestations quite easy in those areas of

0:52:52.560 --> 0:52:55.239
<v Speaker 4>your life. So if there are areas where you're finding

0:52:55.320 --> 0:52:58.640
<v Speaker 4>a little bit sticky, having a look at how your

0:52:58.640 --> 0:53:01.120
<v Speaker 4>self worth is varing in that area, it's a really

0:53:01.120 --> 0:53:02.279
<v Speaker 4>good place to start. Well.

0:53:02.320 --> 0:53:04.160
<v Speaker 5>I think that also leads me into my next question,

0:53:04.200 --> 0:53:06.439
<v Speaker 5>which is in regards to dating and just coming back

0:53:06.480 --> 0:53:09.520
<v Speaker 5>to this idea of like cyclical dating where we kind

0:53:09.560 --> 0:53:12.520
<v Speaker 5>of go after the same person on repeat, not the

0:53:12.520 --> 0:53:14.360
<v Speaker 5>good ones, not the good one. I mean, if you

0:53:14.360 --> 0:53:15.759
<v Speaker 5>do come back to the same good ones, and that's

0:53:15.760 --> 0:53:17.520
<v Speaker 5>great for you. Why do you think a lot of

0:53:17.560 --> 0:53:20.680
<v Speaker 5>people have very cyclical dating experiences where they do date

0:53:20.719 --> 0:53:22.759
<v Speaker 5>that same type of person over and over and over

0:53:22.920 --> 0:53:25.080
<v Speaker 5>without necessarily learning the lessons that are there.

0:53:25.320 --> 0:53:27.520
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, well, I think you hit the nail on the head.

0:53:27.560 --> 0:53:30.920
<v Speaker 4>It's they're not learning the lessons. So to ask yourself,

0:53:31.120 --> 0:53:33.760
<v Speaker 4>why am I dating the same type of guy? What's

0:53:33.800 --> 0:53:36.440
<v Speaker 4>attracting me to them? Has it got something to do

0:53:36.520 --> 0:53:39.160
<v Speaker 4>with self worth issues? Is it a deservedness thing? Do

0:53:39.239 --> 0:53:42.120
<v Speaker 4>I think I don't deserve better than that? And why

0:53:42.200 --> 0:53:47.359
<v Speaker 4>aren't I questioning it? All of this stuff like love, dating, manifestation,

0:53:47.520 --> 0:53:50.440
<v Speaker 4>it's all about self awareness and self reflection, and we

0:53:50.600 --> 0:53:53.080
<v Speaker 4>really have to just keep coming back to ourselves. That's

0:53:53.120 --> 0:53:54.680
<v Speaker 4>the only thing we have control over.

0:53:54.800 --> 0:53:56.440
<v Speaker 2>You know. There was a quote in one of your

0:53:56.440 --> 0:53:58.520
<v Speaker 2>books that said, instead of falling in love, we can

0:53:58.640 --> 0:53:59.319
<v Speaker 2>rise in love.

0:53:59.560 --> 0:53:59.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:53:59.880 --> 0:54:03.200
<v Speaker 4>I think when it comes to love, we have some

0:54:03.400 --> 0:54:06.400
<v Speaker 4>very dramatic terms that we like to use, like falling

0:54:06.440 --> 0:54:08.960
<v Speaker 4>in love, madly in love, crazy in love, you know,

0:54:09.080 --> 0:54:13.239
<v Speaker 4>desperately in love. And instead I'm saying, how about we

0:54:13.440 --> 0:54:16.240
<v Speaker 4>rise in love? How about love is something that lifts

0:54:16.320 --> 0:54:19.239
<v Speaker 4>us up instead of like plummets us into these like

0:54:19.360 --> 0:54:23.279
<v Speaker 4>pitfalls of you know, despair. So it's really just kind

0:54:23.320 --> 0:54:26.080
<v Speaker 4>of changing the language that we use around love.

0:54:26.440 --> 0:54:28.160
<v Speaker 5>So many of the people listening to this will have

0:54:28.160 --> 0:54:31.640
<v Speaker 5>had a relationship that made them feel batshit fucking crazy,

0:54:31.680 --> 0:54:34.799
<v Speaker 5>which love can sometimes do, and you almost hold on

0:54:34.840 --> 0:54:37.279
<v Speaker 5>to that as being like, but I feel like this

0:54:37.360 --> 0:54:41.200
<v Speaker 5>because I love them so much, and we confuse this

0:54:41.520 --> 0:54:45.160
<v Speaker 5>craziness with love. But whereas really that crazy feeling is

0:54:45.200 --> 0:54:48.160
<v Speaker 5>toxicity and that's not always easy to differentiate when you're

0:54:48.200 --> 0:54:50.600
<v Speaker 5>stuck in the cloud of being in love with someone.

0:54:50.960 --> 0:54:53.480
<v Speaker 5>And this idea of rising in love is more so

0:54:53.560 --> 0:54:56.640
<v Speaker 5>attributing it to as well, this feeling of like you

0:54:56.680 --> 0:55:00.160
<v Speaker 5>can be your best or better self when you're with someone.

0:55:00.160 --> 0:55:02.120
<v Speaker 5>You don't have to compromise who you are, and you

0:55:02.160 --> 0:55:04.719
<v Speaker 5>don't have to you know, if you're in a relationship

0:55:04.760 --> 0:55:07.359
<v Speaker 5>that you don't necessarily like the person that you are

0:55:07.360 --> 0:55:08.000
<v Speaker 5>when you're in that.

0:55:07.960 --> 0:55:10.200
<v Speaker 1>Relationship, that's not the relationship for you.

0:55:10.440 --> 0:55:11.600
<v Speaker 4>Absolutely reckon.

0:55:11.600 --> 0:55:12.640
<v Speaker 1>Hollywood fucked us up.

0:55:13.719 --> 0:55:17.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, in terms of like I didn't look like romantic,

0:55:17.680 --> 0:55:20.439
<v Speaker 2>like these beautiful movies where you're like, oh, they locked

0:55:20.480 --> 0:55:22.360
<v Speaker 2>eyes across the road and then they have this beautiful

0:55:22.440 --> 0:55:24.359
<v Speaker 2>ending and they feel in love. Everyone gets a happy ending,

0:55:24.400 --> 0:55:26.879
<v Speaker 2>and this love is all consuming and like.

0:55:27.400 --> 0:55:28.319
<v Speaker 1>Wrong, it's not.

0:55:28.600 --> 0:55:32.200
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't sometimes it is, but for us little romantic

0:55:32.239 --> 0:55:35.319
<v Speaker 2>fairy tailors like myself, I was waiting a long time

0:55:35.360 --> 0:55:36.080
<v Speaker 2>for that to happen.

0:55:36.280 --> 0:55:37.319
<v Speaker 1>I think it messed us up.

0:55:37.480 --> 0:55:40.759
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I'm with you. I think so too. I love

0:55:41.000 --> 0:55:43.120
<v Speaker 4>rom coms. I love them. If you want a long

0:55:43.160 --> 0:55:44.880
<v Speaker 4>list of my favorite I can give them to you.

0:55:44.960 --> 0:55:46.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean I do also love them.

0:55:46.280 --> 0:55:49.520
<v Speaker 4>I do think that they've they've messed us up a lot.

0:55:49.600 --> 0:55:52.000
<v Speaker 4>And it's not just Hollywood, you know, it's it's those

0:55:52.000 --> 0:55:56.240
<v Speaker 4>beautiful romantic Nicholas Sparks books and you know Bollywood movies

0:55:56.280 --> 0:55:57.840
<v Speaker 4>like The Whole Shebang.

0:55:57.480 --> 0:55:59.160
<v Speaker 1>Fifty Shades of Gray. I mean what.

0:56:00.160 --> 0:56:03.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean it is a version of love, but

0:56:03.520 --> 0:56:06.400
<v Speaker 4>it's a version of love that doesn't have the mundane moments.

0:56:06.560 --> 0:56:08.759
<v Speaker 4>Is it's a version of love that's wrapped up in

0:56:08.800 --> 0:56:11.399
<v Speaker 4>one hundred and eight minutes. It's a version of love

0:56:11.440 --> 0:56:14.319
<v Speaker 4>where we don't actually see how it ends, and it's

0:56:14.480 --> 0:56:18.880
<v Speaker 4>those meat cute moments that we hold ourselves to. You know,

0:56:19.000 --> 0:56:22.360
<v Speaker 4>I had a girlfriend who met a great guy on

0:56:22.400 --> 0:56:26.080
<v Speaker 4>an app, and it took her months and months to

0:56:26.200 --> 0:56:29.080
<v Speaker 4>get her head around the fact that they didn't have

0:56:29.120 --> 0:56:32.319
<v Speaker 4>a meat cute moment that they'd met on Tinder, and she,

0:56:32.520 --> 0:56:35.120
<v Speaker 4>you know, she almost didn't want the relationship to work

0:56:35.160 --> 0:56:36.600
<v Speaker 4>out because she's like, I just want to have a

0:56:36.640 --> 0:56:39.759
<v Speaker 4>story to tell my grandkids. And I was like, we

0:56:39.840 --> 0:56:42.600
<v Speaker 4>can't hold ourselves to those meat cute moments because they

0:56:42.680 --> 0:56:43.799
<v Speaker 4>might not happen, and.

0:56:43.800 --> 0:56:45.440
<v Speaker 1>We're in a pandemic we meet online.

0:56:45.440 --> 0:56:47.600
<v Speaker 2>Now, Yeah, I don't think it's just like Hollywood wrong

0:56:47.600 --> 0:56:49.080
<v Speaker 2>comms that you need to blame for this shit though,

0:56:49.160 --> 0:56:51.520
<v Speaker 2>Like we see this every day on Instagram. It's not

0:56:51.600 --> 0:56:53.760
<v Speaker 2>just a meet cute. It's also comparison culture.

0:56:53.760 --> 0:56:55.840
<v Speaker 5>And we talk about that loads on this podcast, This

0:56:55.960 --> 0:56:58.640
<v Speaker 5>idea that like you see the best and we have

0:56:58.719 --> 0:57:01.000
<v Speaker 5>so much access to people's lives now, you know, there's

0:57:01.320 --> 0:57:04.399
<v Speaker 5>people put everything on display. So it's not just what

0:57:04.480 --> 0:57:07.160
<v Speaker 5>we know is fiction on Hollywood. It's people who we

0:57:07.200 --> 0:57:09.560
<v Speaker 5>think are real and they're not showing us that the

0:57:09.680 --> 0:57:11.799
<v Speaker 5>hard bits, of the negative bits, they're showing us this

0:57:11.880 --> 0:57:14.439
<v Speaker 5>perfectly stylized life. And the person that comes to mind

0:57:14.480 --> 0:57:16.360
<v Speaker 5>straight away is I don't know if you follow them

0:57:16.360 --> 0:57:20.000
<v Speaker 5>on Instagram, but Gypsy Lust and Gypsy Travel they are

0:57:20.000 --> 0:57:23.800
<v Speaker 5>this huge. They're huge Instagram, a couple of million, millions

0:57:23.840 --> 0:57:27.280
<v Speaker 5>of followers between them, and they had created this incredibly

0:57:27.360 --> 0:57:30.200
<v Speaker 5>aspirational lifestyle where they traveled to all different countries and

0:57:30.200 --> 0:57:31.480
<v Speaker 5>took beautiful photos.

0:57:31.120 --> 0:57:34.080
<v Speaker 2>Themselves, and they were both beautiful. They're beautiful looking. They'd

0:57:34.080 --> 0:57:37.280
<v Speaker 2>built a beautiful villa in Bali, and then they came

0:57:37.320 --> 0:57:39.360
<v Speaker 2>out and did this really public statement a couple of

0:57:39.360 --> 0:57:41.920
<v Speaker 2>months back saying that they had broken up. And there

0:57:41.960 --> 0:57:44.520
<v Speaker 2>is nothing in their social media that would make you

0:57:44.560 --> 0:57:47.200
<v Speaker 2>think that they weren't happy or weren't a great couple.

0:57:47.480 --> 0:57:50.160
<v Speaker 2>But all of a sudden, this couple has just has

0:57:50.240 --> 0:57:52.720
<v Speaker 2>just fallen apart. And I think, you know, we can

0:57:52.760 --> 0:57:55.480
<v Speaker 2>look in on people's lives and think, maybe our relationship

0:57:55.560 --> 0:57:58.360
<v Speaker 2>doesn't match up because we live the mundane bits. We

0:57:58.440 --> 0:58:00.600
<v Speaker 2>lived the boring bits, and you.

0:58:00.520 --> 0:58:02.560
<v Speaker 5>Look at Instagram, you look at all these other things,

0:58:02.560 --> 0:58:04.760
<v Speaker 5>and you think, oh, everybody else has a bit more

0:58:04.800 --> 0:58:06.840
<v Speaker 5>of a spectacular spark than what I have.

0:58:07.280 --> 0:58:10.280
<v Speaker 4>So we do have to start coming back to what

0:58:10.440 --> 0:58:14.600
<v Speaker 4>is reality and what is happening irl and hopping off

0:58:14.920 --> 0:58:16.439
<v Speaker 4>what we read in the books and what we see

0:58:16.480 --> 0:58:19.760
<v Speaker 4>on the screens, and really starting to think about how

0:58:19.760 --> 0:58:22.440
<v Speaker 4>it is that you want to feel in love, because

0:58:22.480 --> 0:58:25.440
<v Speaker 4>what love looks like to other people is not nearly

0:58:25.480 --> 0:58:27.200
<v Speaker 4>as important as how it feels to you.

0:58:27.760 --> 0:58:31.160
<v Speaker 2>What's your perceptional what are your beliefs around soulmates?

0:58:31.520 --> 0:58:34.880
<v Speaker 4>I believe in them, but I don't think that there's

0:58:35.000 --> 0:58:38.400
<v Speaker 4>one for everybody. I mean, wait, I think that everyone

0:58:38.480 --> 0:58:41.200
<v Speaker 4>gets one, but I think there's more than one.

0:58:42.600 --> 0:58:45.880
<v Speaker 1>I know, I bet you clarified that people don't get one. Sorry, guys,

0:58:46.480 --> 0:58:47.600
<v Speaker 1>start and then Lucky did today.

0:58:47.680 --> 0:58:49.280
<v Speaker 4>Sorry, you're not getting a soulmate in this life?

0:58:50.280 --> 0:58:52.320
<v Speaker 1>You go on? You not you? Sorry?

0:58:52.440 --> 0:58:52.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:58:52.640 --> 0:58:56.400
<v Speaker 4>Oprah Obrah, No, I think that there's lots to be

0:58:56.480 --> 0:58:58.680
<v Speaker 4>honest with you. I think I've already been with two

0:58:58.840 --> 0:59:02.080
<v Speaker 4>of my soulmates, and I'm not with any of them now.

0:59:02.680 --> 0:59:05.800
<v Speaker 4>I do think that sometimes our girlfriends are our soulmates,

0:59:06.160 --> 0:59:08.560
<v Speaker 4>but I do believe in them, and I think what

0:59:08.760 --> 0:59:14.240
<v Speaker 4>soulmate is is this vibrational match it's this feeling of

0:59:14.320 --> 0:59:15.880
<v Speaker 4>resonance with somebody else.

0:59:16.160 --> 0:59:19.439
<v Speaker 2>I feel like I have probably I one hundred percent

0:59:19.440 --> 0:59:21.880
<v Speaker 2>agree with you. I think that you have different soulmates

0:59:22.400 --> 0:59:26.040
<v Speaker 2>at different times of your life, for when maybe subconsciously

0:59:26.080 --> 0:59:28.680
<v Speaker 2>or consciously you need that person and you might not

0:59:28.720 --> 0:59:31.120
<v Speaker 2>realize at the time. But I feel like I'm madly

0:59:31.120 --> 0:59:33.240
<v Speaker 2>in love now, but I feel like I have definitely

0:59:33.600 --> 0:59:36.320
<v Speaker 2>been with a soulmate in the past, like one hundred percent.

0:59:36.760 --> 0:59:39.520
<v Speaker 2>I cannot and I love this word vibrations now that

0:59:39.600 --> 0:59:41.600
<v Speaker 2>you've introduced me to It's.

0:59:41.480 --> 0:59:42.560
<v Speaker 1>The exact word for it.

0:59:42.600 --> 0:59:45.360
<v Speaker 2>The vibrations were like off the chart, and I just

0:59:45.360 --> 0:59:47.080
<v Speaker 2>feel like we both needed each other for that time

0:59:47.120 --> 0:59:49.040
<v Speaker 2>and it didn't work out, and obviously didn't work out

0:59:49.080 --> 0:59:52.160
<v Speaker 2>for a reason because both of us are very happy now,

0:59:52.640 --> 0:59:56.440
<v Speaker 2>But I can't ever get away from the fact that

0:59:56.440 --> 0:59:58.960
<v Speaker 2>that was something I remember at the time being like,

0:59:59.080 --> 1:00:01.760
<v Speaker 2>I have just not ex experienced a vibration or a

1:00:01.760 --> 1:00:03.880
<v Speaker 2>connection like that, So I do think and now it

1:00:03.880 --> 1:00:06.760
<v Speaker 2>would not be like that, absolutely not. It was definitely

1:00:06.800 --> 1:00:08.520
<v Speaker 2>for that period of both of our lives.

1:00:08.680 --> 1:00:11.360
<v Speaker 4>I think what's really important though, when we're talking about

1:00:11.800 --> 1:00:16.760
<v Speaker 4>soulmates and that vibrational resonance is not confusing it with chemistry.

1:00:16.920 --> 1:00:21.360
<v Speaker 4>Where the chemistry is there sometimes I believe as a

1:00:21.400 --> 1:00:24.520
<v Speaker 4>form of glue to keep us there to learn a lesson,

1:00:24.880 --> 1:00:27.760
<v Speaker 4>because if there was no chemistry, we wouldn't stick around

1:00:27.840 --> 1:00:30.160
<v Speaker 4>for someone treating us like shit. But we do get

1:00:30.160 --> 1:00:32.400
<v Speaker 4>a lesson out of it, right, So that's why I

1:00:32.400 --> 1:00:36.080
<v Speaker 4>think chemistry is there Sometimes. I think a soulmate connection

1:00:36.320 --> 1:00:40.080
<v Speaker 4>really is when there's a vibrational resonance that takes you

1:00:40.160 --> 1:00:45.280
<v Speaker 4>both to a place of deep learning that's rewarding and

1:00:45.320 --> 1:00:47.760
<v Speaker 4>not like a wound. Do you know what I mean?

1:00:47.840 --> 1:00:48.840
<v Speaker 4>Can you see the difference?

1:00:49.120 --> 1:00:49.680
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely?

1:00:49.720 --> 1:00:51.760
<v Speaker 5>And I'm really glad you said that because I think

1:00:51.800 --> 1:00:54.520
<v Speaker 5>that you know, we can, like exactly what you said,

1:00:54.520 --> 1:00:58.280
<v Speaker 5>we can miss interpret what chemistry is. And I think

1:00:58.600 --> 1:01:01.680
<v Speaker 5>it can be incredibly damage to think that your soulmate

1:01:01.800 --> 1:01:05.440
<v Speaker 5>is someone who brings toxicity into your life. I don't

1:01:05.480 --> 1:01:07.960
<v Speaker 5>think from my personal perspective on what it is is

1:01:07.960 --> 1:01:10.720
<v Speaker 5>that that could possibly be a soulmate, because soulmate should

1:01:10.720 --> 1:01:14.000
<v Speaker 5>be elevating you to being a just being a more

1:01:14.240 --> 1:01:17.320
<v Speaker 5>authentic version of yourself where you feel understood and you

1:01:17.400 --> 1:01:20.400
<v Speaker 5>feel loved and believed and secure in all those things

1:01:20.400 --> 1:01:22.600
<v Speaker 5>that you should get from a loving relationship. That's what

1:01:22.640 --> 1:01:25.080
<v Speaker 5>a soulmate should provide. And so if there is anyone

1:01:25.120 --> 1:01:27.400
<v Speaker 5>listening to this who's found themselves in a really toxic

1:01:27.440 --> 1:01:30.880
<v Speaker 5>relationship but thought that's my soulmate, that guy.

1:01:30.720 --> 1:01:32.440
<v Speaker 1>Ain't it like that is not your soulmate?

1:01:33.200 --> 1:01:35.200
<v Speaker 5>How can we use sort of going back to this

1:01:35.240 --> 1:01:39.000
<v Speaker 5>idea of manifestation, how can we use manifestation to kind

1:01:39.000 --> 1:01:42.680
<v Speaker 5>of avoid these traps of dating toxic people or being

1:01:42.720 --> 1:01:46.040
<v Speaker 5>in a workplace that's unfulfilling. How can we better utilize

1:01:46.040 --> 1:01:48.280
<v Speaker 5>it on a day to day in a very practical

1:01:48.320 --> 1:01:50.920
<v Speaker 5>sense to be able to achieve whatever it is in

1:01:50.920 --> 1:01:52.280
<v Speaker 5>our lives that we want to change.

1:01:52.360 --> 1:01:54.880
<v Speaker 4>I think it's working out what your personal vibration is,

1:01:54.960 --> 1:01:58.400
<v Speaker 4>so working out exactly what that feels like so that

1:01:58.480 --> 1:02:01.600
<v Speaker 4>you know when it's being compromised. And then it's just

1:02:01.640 --> 1:02:04.160
<v Speaker 4>getting really clear on the things that you want to

1:02:04.200 --> 1:02:07.480
<v Speaker 4>create in your life and moving through that manifestation equation

1:02:07.880 --> 1:02:10.920
<v Speaker 4>my thoughts aligned with that intention. Am I feeling the

1:02:10.960 --> 1:02:13.800
<v Speaker 4>things I want to feel? Am I taking action steps

1:02:13.840 --> 1:02:15.960
<v Speaker 4>to get towards it? And do I have faith and

1:02:16.000 --> 1:02:17.920
<v Speaker 4>trust in myself and something greater than me?

1:02:18.320 --> 1:02:20.800
<v Speaker 2>Well, Jordanna, thank you so much for coming on today.

1:02:20.920 --> 1:02:23.320
<v Speaker 2>It's definitely something that we've wanted to talk about for

1:02:23.360 --> 1:02:25.240
<v Speaker 2>a long time. Definitely something that I'm more open to

1:02:25.320 --> 1:02:25.800
<v Speaker 2>than Laura.

1:02:26.040 --> 1:02:28.040
<v Speaker 5>No, I'm not not open to it. I would hate

1:02:28.040 --> 1:02:30.200
<v Speaker 5>anyone to walk away thinking that that's the case. I

1:02:30.200 --> 1:02:31.800
<v Speaker 5>think I've just like I said, I think I've just

1:02:31.840 --> 1:02:34.400
<v Speaker 5>packaged it up differently in my mind before I had

1:02:34.440 --> 1:02:37.080
<v Speaker 5>a different name for it. But it's something that I

1:02:37.120 --> 1:02:39.400
<v Speaker 5>do exercise in my life all the time. I'm very

1:02:39.400 --> 1:02:41.400
<v Speaker 5>big on that your thoughts and your actions need to

1:02:41.400 --> 1:02:42.240
<v Speaker 5>be fully aligned.

1:02:42.720 --> 1:02:45.720
<v Speaker 2>Tell everybody where they can find you your books, and

1:02:45.800 --> 1:02:47.440
<v Speaker 2>your podcasts and your instagram.

1:02:47.560 --> 1:02:48.959
<v Speaker 1>You got all the things I do.

1:02:48.920 --> 1:02:52.040
<v Speaker 4>Have all the things. My instagram is just my name,

1:02:52.160 --> 1:02:56.959
<v Speaker 4>so Georgdana Levine. My website Geordana Levine dot com. Both

1:02:56.960 --> 1:03:01.560
<v Speaker 4>books can be found in bookstores across Australia, New Zealand,

1:03:01.720 --> 1:03:06.200
<v Speaker 4>UK and the US. And yeah, and podcasts. I've got

1:03:06.240 --> 1:03:08.520
<v Speaker 4>a podcast called Luna Lover and I've also got a

1:03:08.520 --> 1:03:11.480
<v Speaker 4>podcast that goes with the book Higher Love, where I

1:03:11.600 --> 1:03:14.440
<v Speaker 4>kind of took three women through all the exercises.

1:03:14.480 --> 1:03:14.760
<v Speaker 6>People.

1:03:18.320 --> 1:03:20.400
<v Speaker 2>All right, guys, you know that we never finished an

1:03:20.400 --> 1:03:23.080
<v Speaker 2>episode without our suck and our sweet, our highlight and

1:03:23.160 --> 1:03:26.560
<v Speaker 2>our low light of each and every week, and Brittany, you.

1:03:26.560 --> 1:03:29.640
<v Speaker 1>Can go first, hit me, what is your suck? Okay,

1:03:29.760 --> 1:03:30.800
<v Speaker 1>let's keep this quick.

1:03:31.000 --> 1:03:33.480
<v Speaker 2>My suck is just that my time has come to

1:03:33.480 --> 1:03:35.840
<v Speaker 2>an end. I'm leaving Jordan very very soon, and I

1:03:35.880 --> 1:03:38.480
<v Speaker 2>feel like I feel like every day I'm really morbid

1:03:38.520 --> 1:03:40.439
<v Speaker 2>with him. I'm just like, it's like our life is over.

1:03:40.520 --> 1:03:42.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm like counting down the hours, the days, and the

1:03:42.520 --> 1:03:44.520
<v Speaker 2>minutes and the seconds until we leave each other. And

1:03:44.600 --> 1:03:46.000
<v Speaker 2>He's like, you've got to start doing that. You've been

1:03:46.000 --> 1:03:47.680
<v Speaker 2>doing that for like twelve weeks. I'm like, it's only

1:03:47.720 --> 1:03:51.800
<v Speaker 2>twelve weeks left. It's like just enjoying the moment. But

1:03:51.840 --> 1:03:53.520
<v Speaker 2>that's definitely my suck. I'm going to see him for

1:03:53.520 --> 1:03:56.800
<v Speaker 2>a few months again. My sweet was that, I know

1:03:56.920 --> 1:04:00.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm late to the party, but I've only just recently

1:04:00.480 --> 1:04:02.320
<v Speaker 2>got around to watching Peaky Blinders.

1:04:02.320 --> 1:04:02.400
<v Speaker 4>Now.

1:04:02.440 --> 1:04:04.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you've seen that, Laura, I've never

1:04:04.080 --> 1:04:06.240
<v Speaker 1>even heard of it. I'm obsessed with it. So we

1:04:06.320 --> 1:04:08.920
<v Speaker 1>just decided to watch it the other day. It is

1:04:08.960 --> 1:04:09.640
<v Speaker 1>on Netflix.

1:04:10.000 --> 1:04:12.080
<v Speaker 2>I had heard my friends recommend it before. Both of

1:04:12.160 --> 1:04:15.400
<v Speaker 2>us are obsessed. But this is also going into my suck.

1:04:15.480 --> 1:04:17.600
<v Speaker 2>We've been watching it together, and you know when you're

1:04:17.600 --> 1:04:19.760
<v Speaker 2>watching a show together, you're not supposed to like go

1:04:19.840 --> 1:04:23.080
<v Speaker 2>ahead of the other person. The little fucker started to

1:04:23.120 --> 1:04:25.240
<v Speaker 2>watch it one night without me, so now he's ahead

1:04:25.280 --> 1:04:26.760
<v Speaker 2>of me and we can't watch it at the same time.

1:04:26.800 --> 1:04:28.880
<v Speaker 2>So that's like my sweet and suck roll into one

1:04:28.960 --> 1:04:32.560
<v Speaker 2>that is so controversial. I feel like any couple that

1:04:32.640 --> 1:04:34.840
<v Speaker 2>has been together for a peo of time knows you

1:04:34.920 --> 1:04:35.960
<v Speaker 2>never steam ahead.

1:04:36.040 --> 1:04:38.760
<v Speaker 1>You never steam ahead. Jordan. Jordan's just walked into the room.

1:04:39.120 --> 1:04:41.480
<v Speaker 1>You can't. He hasn't been He hasn't been here the

1:04:41.480 --> 1:04:43.880
<v Speaker 1>whole time. He hasn't been here the whole record.

1:04:44.160 --> 1:04:46.360
<v Speaker 2>He just walked in as he literally walked in, as

1:04:46.400 --> 1:04:47.880
<v Speaker 2>I said, the little fucker.

1:04:48.120 --> 1:04:50.680
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, you can't steam ahead. It's like the number

1:04:50.720 --> 1:04:52.320
<v Speaker 1>one note, you can't, Jordan.

1:04:52.560 --> 1:04:55.600
<v Speaker 4>In my defense, it is really good and I just

1:04:55.640 --> 1:04:56.200
<v Speaker 4>couldn't wait.

1:04:56.840 --> 1:04:58.920
<v Speaker 1>That's a good defense. I thought you were gonna actually

1:04:58.920 --> 1:04:59.880
<v Speaker 1>have something good to say.

1:05:00.400 --> 1:05:02.240
<v Speaker 2>No, not really, I mean that is my only defense.

1:05:02.280 --> 1:05:02.960
<v Speaker 2>So I screwed up.

1:05:03.120 --> 1:05:06.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you screwed up. That defense actually sucked, Jordan. Okay,

1:05:06.640 --> 1:05:08.880
<v Speaker 1>Laura What's yours. Matt has learned the hard way not

1:05:08.920 --> 1:05:09.320
<v Speaker 1>to do that.

1:05:09.520 --> 1:05:11.760
<v Speaker 2>I have a recommendation for you guys, if you haven't

1:05:11.800 --> 1:05:14.960
<v Speaker 2>seen yet. On Amazon Prime, there is a docu series

1:05:15.040 --> 1:05:16.360
<v Speaker 2>called Lula Rich.

1:05:16.720 --> 1:05:18.120
<v Speaker 1>It is so random.

1:05:18.160 --> 1:05:21.080
<v Speaker 2>It is all about this clothing company in the States,

1:05:21.080 --> 1:05:24.400
<v Speaker 2>which is called Lula Rose, and the pyramid scheme and

1:05:24.440 --> 1:05:28.000
<v Speaker 2>how they managed to make billions of dollars selling leggings

1:05:28.440 --> 1:05:32.120
<v Speaker 2>in America. It's wild. I have never heard of the

1:05:32.120 --> 1:05:35.360
<v Speaker 2>brand before. Matt and I were so hooked on this series.

1:05:35.440 --> 1:05:36.360
<v Speaker 2>It's on Amazon Prime.

1:05:36.360 --> 1:05:38.720
<v Speaker 5>I feel like I've consumed everything there is to consume

1:05:38.720 --> 1:05:41.920
<v Speaker 5>on TV now, so I really recommend it. It's only

1:05:41.920 --> 1:05:44.800
<v Speaker 5>a couple of episodes, but you guys will enjoy it anyway.

1:05:45.040 --> 1:05:46.800
<v Speaker 5>That's not my suck and Sweet. My suck for the

1:05:46.840 --> 1:05:49.479
<v Speaker 5>week is wait, is it suck first or sweet first?

1:05:49.520 --> 1:05:52.720
<v Speaker 1>I forgot? Are you serious? You can't be serious. You've

1:05:52.720 --> 1:05:54.440
<v Speaker 1>done this for two years and you asked me this

1:05:54.520 --> 1:05:56.760
<v Speaker 1>every freehoing week. It's the suck first because you have

1:05:56.800 --> 1:05:58.280
<v Speaker 1>to finish on a high. Okay.

1:05:58.360 --> 1:06:01.920
<v Speaker 5>My suck is that the routine is getting really boring.

1:06:02.160 --> 1:06:05.040
<v Speaker 5>And Matt and I had a chat yesterday because we're

1:06:05.080 --> 1:06:09.080
<v Speaker 5>both really flat, and you know, going to the park

1:06:09.120 --> 1:06:12.600
<v Speaker 5>in the morning for a walk for an hour and

1:06:12.640 --> 1:06:15.720
<v Speaker 5>then working from home from a dining room table, and

1:06:15.760 --> 1:06:17.720
<v Speaker 5>then you know, running around the backyard with the kids

1:06:17.760 --> 1:06:20.280
<v Speaker 5>of an afternoon and not having anything else to break

1:06:20.360 --> 1:06:24.640
<v Speaker 5>up the monotony is really boring. So it's been ten

1:06:24.680 --> 1:06:27.040
<v Speaker 5>weeks of it. Now, as you guys all know everybody

1:06:27.040 --> 1:06:29.800
<v Speaker 5>else who's let been in lockdown, it's very hard to

1:06:29.920 --> 1:06:32.760
<v Speaker 5>kind of think of another suck. So yeah, we just

1:06:33.040 --> 1:06:35.120
<v Speaker 5>have kind of forgotten what it is to have other

1:06:35.200 --> 1:06:37.320
<v Speaker 5>great things to look forward to.

1:06:36.920 --> 1:06:39.400
<v Speaker 1>To have a life to see.

1:06:39.840 --> 1:06:41.200
<v Speaker 2>I just want to see my friends. I want to

1:06:41.200 --> 1:06:44.200
<v Speaker 2>see my friends, So that's like the big suck. The

1:06:44.320 --> 1:06:46.680
<v Speaker 2>suite for the week, though, is the one thing that

1:06:46.720 --> 1:06:49.040
<v Speaker 2>I did get to do which broke the monotony.

1:06:49.000 --> 1:06:51.400
<v Speaker 1>And it was awesome last week.

1:06:51.480 --> 1:06:53.520
<v Speaker 5>So in the next coming weeks, I have a new

1:06:53.600 --> 1:06:55.520
<v Speaker 5>collection coming out with Tony May. We're dropping in new

1:06:55.520 --> 1:06:58.760
<v Speaker 5>capture range. And on Thursday last week, we got to

1:06:58.800 --> 1:07:01.560
<v Speaker 5>do we got approval from council to do a photo

1:07:01.560 --> 1:07:04.360
<v Speaker 5>shoot outside a camp cove with a model, a photographer

1:07:04.360 --> 1:07:07.360
<v Speaker 5>and a makeup artist, and it just felt a little

1:07:07.360 --> 1:07:09.920
<v Speaker 5>bit like what the old work used to be. Like,

1:07:09.920 --> 1:07:11.640
<v Speaker 5>we got to be outside, we got to do something

1:07:11.720 --> 1:07:14.400
<v Speaker 5>that was really creative, and guys, like, we had to

1:07:14.440 --> 1:07:17.120
<v Speaker 5>go through all of the COVID safe restrictions, we had

1:07:17.160 --> 1:07:19.000
<v Speaker 5>to have a COVID safe plan, like, it was.

1:07:19.080 --> 1:07:21.240
<v Speaker 1>All completely above board.

1:07:21.480 --> 1:07:24.040
<v Speaker 5>But at the same time, it was just so wonderful

1:07:24.040 --> 1:07:26.520
<v Speaker 5>to be able to do something even though it was work,

1:07:26.880 --> 1:07:31.120
<v Speaker 5>and feel productive and accomplished in that. Again, I just

1:07:31.200 --> 1:07:33.160
<v Speaker 5>I'm so grateful to be able to have one day

1:07:33.160 --> 1:07:33.680
<v Speaker 5>of work.

1:07:33.840 --> 1:07:36.440
<v Speaker 2>It was great just to feel like what life was.

1:07:36.480 --> 1:07:38.480
<v Speaker 2>I guess it's just like a reminder of, Oh, this

1:07:38.640 --> 1:07:41.080
<v Speaker 2>is what life used to be, and hopefully one day,

1:07:41.280 --> 1:07:43.120
<v Speaker 2>very soon this is like what life is again.

1:07:43.320 --> 1:07:44.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and it will be.

1:07:44.280 --> 1:07:46.560
<v Speaker 5>You know, I was having a conversation with a friend recently,

1:07:46.600 --> 1:07:48.600
<v Speaker 5>because we've been in this situation, all of us for

1:07:48.680 --> 1:07:50.640
<v Speaker 5>so long now, there is this feeling of, oh, it's

1:07:50.680 --> 1:07:50.960
<v Speaker 5>going to.

1:07:50.960 --> 1:07:51.880
<v Speaker 1>Be like this forever.

1:07:52.240 --> 1:07:54.400
<v Speaker 5>But then you think about our grandparents, Like our grandparents

1:07:54.400 --> 1:07:57.000
<v Speaker 5>lived through the Great Depression, they lived through they would

1:07:57.040 --> 1:07:59.520
<v Speaker 5>live through fucking wars, like they lived through so much

1:07:59.520 --> 1:08:02.720
<v Speaker 5>shit and life went back to normal afterwards. So you know,

1:08:02.760 --> 1:08:04.440
<v Speaker 5>I think sometimes it's hard to see the light at

1:08:04.440 --> 1:08:06.680
<v Speaker 5>the end of the tunnel. But I was just really

1:08:06.720 --> 1:08:09.560
<v Speaker 5>really grateful to be able to go and work, and

1:08:09.640 --> 1:08:12.400
<v Speaker 5>obviously it was in a very limited capacity, but it

1:08:12.480 --> 1:08:14.240
<v Speaker 5>was so nice to be able to be around people

1:08:14.280 --> 1:08:16.400
<v Speaker 5>and do that. So yeah, I'm really really grateful for that.

1:08:16.479 --> 1:08:18.320
<v Speaker 5>And also I'm just super stroked for our new collection

1:08:18.360 --> 1:08:20.280
<v Speaker 5>to come out. There's a little plug hashtag go follow

1:08:20.280 --> 1:08:20.760
<v Speaker 5>Tony May.

1:08:21.200 --> 1:08:23.360
<v Speaker 1>And that is my second speaking for the week. Guys,

1:08:23.360 --> 1:08:24.080
<v Speaker 1>that's it from.

1:08:24.000 --> 1:08:26.720
<v Speaker 5>Us, another episode, done and dusted. We hope that you

1:08:26.800 --> 1:08:29.400
<v Speaker 5>got something out of the conversations around manifesting.

1:08:29.479 --> 1:08:30.719
<v Speaker 1>We hope that you know.

1:08:30.640 --> 1:08:32.720
<v Speaker 5>It gives you the opportunity to look at life in

1:08:32.760 --> 1:08:34.680
<v Speaker 5>a different way and to be able to start to

1:08:34.760 --> 1:08:37.120
<v Speaker 5>kind of break some negative thought patterns and bring some

1:08:37.200 --> 1:08:39.840
<v Speaker 5>positivity into your life. Because the number one thing we

1:08:39.880 --> 1:08:41.160
<v Speaker 5>want to do for you right now is to be

1:08:41.200 --> 1:08:43.880
<v Speaker 5>able to create a little bit of escapism for you

1:08:43.960 --> 1:08:46.000
<v Speaker 5>to come here and have a safe space and just

1:08:46.120 --> 1:08:48.400
<v Speaker 5>enjoy yourself for the hour or hour and fifteen minutes

1:08:48.439 --> 1:08:50.160
