Speaker 1:

All right, guys, today on the podcast, we're going to be diving into this big old word overwhelm that our community have been feeling. We have been feeling it, and so we're kind of feeling like you might be feeling it. So just remember that overwhelm is not a sign of you failing. It's just a sign you need to pause, prioritize, and so we're going to do that in this week's podcast. So buckle up and let's go. I'm Mia, a mum of two, a former burnt out ambo, who sold it all to travel Australia in her caravan and turned a single TikTok idea into a six-figure content creation business leveraging UGC. And I'm Kristen, also a mum of two, with over 15 years experience in branded marketing. I went from the corporate world to being made redundant and decided to back my idea of starting a branding business and a successful wedding venue side hustle generating six figures, all whilst living on the vineyard. One random DM between us sparked more than just a friendship. It ignited a passion to mentor women online around the world. We know what it takes to make it work online and we're here to show you what's possible. In less than 12 months, we built a six-figure membership together. And here's the kicker we have not met in person. Yet that is a kicker. We're here to show you the power of reoccurring revenue and how achievable it really is. We don't sugarcoat things around here. We talk about the real shit, the good shit and the bullshit. So buckle up, let's go.

Speaker 1:

Welcome to the I am dot dot dot podcast, the podcast for busy creators who want to consume useful shit for their biz and their life. I'm Kristen Werner and I'm joined by Mia, who doesn't like to free talk and sometimes just needs everything written. Yeah, I'm not a good talker and, as you might have realized that Kristen is a very good talker. I'm a great listener. No, you're a great talker once we get on a roll. But we're just like doing the intro and she's like but what do I say? And I was like, just, I don't know. Just say the thing she's like, but I can't. I was like, fucking, I'll do it. Then need to be confident. We all have our strengths and we all have our weaknesses, and if I had to read something and talk to you, it would sound like shit. So that's, if I had to read something and talk to you, it would sound like shit. So that's why I have to raw dog it, as we just said. There you go. And that's my ADHD brain. I have to write everything down, I have to write people's names down, I have to write fucking everything down, otherwise it's just gone and my words are just like a jumbled mess. So, yeah, which? Look? I think there's benefits for both, cause I feel like sometimes I just stuff up and go bleh and just whatever.

Speaker 1:

But that's okay, guys, we are wanting to talk to you about being overwhelmed, because we sent an email to our community this time last week, so a Friday ago, and it was a really honest, like no sales pitch, absolutely nothing like from the heart. I nearly like we wrote it and nearly didn't send it because I was like, I don't know, does this make us sound like we're not coaches and we can't be trusted and all that shit that goes through your head? But it came from a place of we are feeling the overwhelm. You know the constant emails that come in, the constant sales pitches, the constant things you've got to do, the mum life, the brain life, the ADHD, the everything that we've got just really hit so hard that we were both in a really kind of uncomfortable place. Heavy, heavy, yeah, it did. It did feel like really heavy. And so we sent that email out and kind of at the bottom of it, put you know if you're feeling this way, hit reply and sometimes you get like no replies. And to sales emails sometimes we get no replies, and we got quite a few replies and beautiful replies. Responses of people like this is so refreshing. Thank you so much.

Speaker 1:

I'm so overwhelmed so we kind of wanted to do a podcast for you today around a topic we just discussed inside the membership that we gave to our members around how they can kind of overcome this paralyzing feeling of overwhelm. So, mia, in terms of, I suppose, where we were at and look, it's not over, we haven't passed it, but we're certainly getting through it. I feel a lot better after we've kind of doubled down, done some coaching. Yeah, so what do you reckon like? What's the biggest thing? And certainly from yesterday's discussion with our community, what was the biggest thing that came out of it? I think a lot of people are feeling that biggest thing that came out of it.

Speaker 1:

I think a lot of people are feeling that information overload. There's so much information on the internet, there's so much content. You're consuming way too much content and the shiny object syndrome, like there's a lot going on and it can be really hard to maintain focus on your niche, your topic, your content, your offer. And you know we've fallen into this too. You know we've got to change this and everything's changing and this person's doing this and they're really successful and maybe we should do this and it's a lot, and a lot of our members and, I would assume, a lot of people in this social media space are feeling that, because you can get into these big content consumption holes where you just kind of almost consume a lot more than you create, and that can have a huge impact on your business, because if you're not driving traffic to your offer and you're sort of losing who you are and the core of why you're doing this in the first place, you can get lost and that's when it becomes really overwhelming.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and I think it's one of those things that we also underestimate I don't know if we do, but maybe we do underestimate the power of the algorithm like it is. It's an algorithm for a reason. It is trained to serve you content that has high volume of views, high volume of likes, high volume of content. So you look at that and go shit, everybody must have this content that's just got hundreds of thousands of views. Why am I failing? Nah, mate, you're not failing. The algorithm's pushing it to you.

Speaker 1:

And that's kind of the tricky part. When it comes to social media, like there's such a beautiful aspect of it that it's free marketing, it's free branding. Like there is nothing free in the marketing world when it comes to selling yourself. Like I've worked in businesses that have had million dollar brand campaigns and you know the ad spend astronomical and then now we've got this ability to do it for free. So as much as we complain about this stuff, it's more because of a frustration I think that's built up in the over consumption. I truly believe it's over consumption that, therefore, you don't create because you don't think you're good enough.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, those algorithms are designed to keep people on the app to consume more. So of course, they're going to put out the stuff that you know is great and I mean sometimes viral can be bloody amazing for your business, depending on what business you're running. Bloody amazing for your business, depending on what business you're running. But the damage that it causes your mindset when you do over consume and you start comparing yourself and you start getting that imposter syndrome and there's all. There is so many products out there, so many digital products, but the thing is, if you're trying to be everything to everyone, you're nothing to no one and if you lose your focus, then that's when you know your results start to slip and then you start to think it's because of what you're doing or your product, or I've got to change this and change that.

Speaker 1:

But really it's just maintaining focus and being consistent and not slipping off the horse, and so we'll kind of touch base a little bit around some work that Mia and I have done recently to kind of regain our focus, because, hey, we're not embarrassed to say we've been lost in the fucking washing machine of algorithms. They're coming in suds. We've been on the spin cycle, baby. I think we want to share this stuff transparently because part of it like we both probably got I mean me has been diagnosed with ADHD. I'm pretty sure I've got ADHD, but we just share shit because we know it's helpful at the end of the day.

Speaker 1:

Because if we're feeling like this, we know that you guys must be feeling triple this, because you know we've got a brand and we've got a business and we're building a membership and, you know, having success in that space, but also going hang on. Why isn't it as successful as we really think it should be? And that's where this focus retargeting, yeah, sorry. Also, why aren't we millionaires yet? Yeah, I mean, it's because you haven't sold your fucking feet pics I'll come out one day eventually. I mean, feet are gross, so don't do that. I don't want to see my feet. I don't want to see anyone's fucking feet. I hate feet.

Speaker 1:

That's a sad topic, but what we wanted to do today is actually talk you through really quickly. So we're going to talk you through the exercise that we did inside the membership around this overwhelmed process, just so that, if you're feeling this way, this can give you some kind of clarity and confidence. And all you need to do, if you're walking right now, just listen out, maybe tag this one, just note this one and come back to it. If you're sitting down, grab a piece of paper, your phone, whatever, or just listen to the excuse me, listen to the process, and you'll be able to do this at any stage. But it's something that we did with the members the other day and it's something that you know even after the the process, and we'll talk about it in a minute. But the things that have been hanging over my head was paying some bills and literally for a week and a a half I've looked at them on my desk under my keyboard like, oh yeah, I'll do that a minute. Oh yeah, I'll do that a minute. We did this process and then, three minutes before I went to school pickup, I paid the fuck of bills and I was like everyone doesn't know when you got like these things piling up because you haven't organized your brain to just get it done. Yeah, so I suppose let's jump into it if you've said pen paper or just take a listen and then we can walk through this a bit later.

Speaker 1:

But one thing that we did do first of all was just get the members to find a meditation that suited them. Now we grabbed one that is a Gabby Bernstein one. That's really, really good. We can put it in the show notes if you'd like. It's just a three minute simple meditation just to kind of set the scene. I suppose that's good. Yeah, it was beautiful and I personally love Gabby Bernstein's stuff. She's got a really soothing voice and it's really like some of the meditations that you find on YouTube and stuff are male, like American voices, and I'm like shut up, not that soothing at all, not that soothing. I find Gabby's really nice, so we'll put that into the show notes. That's just kind of the number one thing to do to set the scene, to let yourself kind of get set up.

Speaker 1:

And the other thing that I gave I shared was Gabby's book. You Are the Guru. Now, a coach shared this with me years ago and I got on Audible obsessed. Like the only reason I was paying for Audible subscription is because of this book, because it's got six different steps that are all it's really easy to listen to. I used to listen to it when I was hanging out, washing or I just need a little pep in my step. But there's six different meditations that go with each section and there's a couple in there. My favorite one is In Silence we Receive, and I used to listen to that one before I go to bed. It's so beautiful and it just like it's like four. It's so beautiful and it just like it's like four. I think four or ten minutes, that's about how long they are and it just is a really, really good listen. So highly recommend that you are the guru by gabby bernstein. So we'll put that when you.

Speaker 1:

If you feel crap because you take a break from social media, that's okay. In that silence, something might come to you that makes the whole thing change for you. So, yeah, I suppose you're probably the same me. I don't know about your ADHD, but my tendency are, if I'm feeling overwhelmed and like there's too much going on that I can't decipher, I'll add more noise, like I'll put a podcast in my headphones in one ear. I'll have the kids. I'll have the TV on. The more silent it is, the more my head just does not stop talking to me. So I need to fill it with so much noise. It's not healthy. We're not saying this is the healthy part. Exactly the same. If you tell me to sit in a room by myself with nothing, I'll be like what, are you kidding me? That's torture. Yeah, and I think that's why I enjoy running and exercise so much, because it's basically the only time my mind is still and clear. And it might be still or I might be thinking things, but the things that I'm thinking come with clarity and they come with a fucking punch.

Speaker 1:

So you know, finding your jam is what this is about Finding a space for you to do this, and if it's not meditation, don't do the damn meditation, but if it is, or if it's going for a walk in the sunshine or whatever, just find something that can start this process for you. Yeah, um, so do you want to talk through the whole, like the naming it and claiming it part? So when we did this with our members, we just got them to write down everything that was in their head. Doesn't matter what it is, just a whole entire list of whatever was circulating inside. Your brain could have been I've got to wash the kids socks, I've got to fill out this form, I've got to do that, like everything. We just put it on a big piece of paper.

Speaker 1:

And I don't know about you, but for me, like I'm overwhelmed a lot of the time because my mind is so busy, but just putting it on paper and looking at it and trying to think of everything that's in my head, to put it on paper. When I looked at it I'm like that's not that bad, it's totally achievable. There's nothing that is so chaotically overwhelming on that piece of paper that I'm just like going to curl up into a ball, and you know. So it was a good exercise to just realise that when it's all in your head and you're not exactly pulling it out and looking at it on a piece of paper. It can feel a lot worse when it's just swimming around in there. And isn't it funny like when it's just swimming around in there getting, and isn't it funny like when it's in your head you give it so much weight and so much meaning and so much like.

Speaker 1:

If we go just to that simple bill story that I was making up, it was on my desk and I kept looking at it, thinking God, if I don't open that, it's going to be the date and when the date goes past, there's going to be an overpayment and then my husband's going to be annoyed at me because he's going to be like Chris, you've got to pay the bills on time, that's kind of your job. Like, you've got to do this. And so that was a fucking story that was spinning in my head and then, literally, because I wrote it down and saw it, I paid it in three minutes on time on date and was like, huh, that story's gone and yeah, and I do the same again. But I think that's, and that's the thing is, we put so much weight to these things that are swimming in our head and we make a story up and we let that story fester. And that's what this was about is just get it all out.

Speaker 1:

And the thing that I did if you've been around the block a couple of times, you'll know I'm a real digital gal and part of my dyslexia means that my brain works so fast that I can't get it out quick enough, and so if I'm typing it, it just doesn't make sense, and if I'm writing it, it just doesn't come out right. So I like to verbalize it all, and I got the chat GPT app on my phone. Hey, what's up? I'm talking like Kristen likes to talk. Sorry, guys, talking to your devices too. I really do. We have great chats. It actually understands me. I literally just got out the ChatGPT app and I told it what I was doing and then I just listed everything, just shut my eyes and listed everything that was in my mind and then it put it in a list and then it categorised it for me and I was like cheers.

Speaker 1:

I'm going to talk about AI too, and how that can help with overwhelm as well, because chat GPT has been freaking amazing for our business and our crazy minds that go so fast that we can't articulate what's in there. Yeah, so it helps with that Absolutely. Yeah, I really loved that 4D method that we went through as well. So you've got 4D so you can separate them into these four sections. You've got your to-do list that's swimming around your head. So you've got do so tasks that you need to take immediate action on.

Speaker 1:

Delegate something that you can assign to someone else. You know, especially as mums, we just take on so much and I think sometimes it's just inbuilt in us to be like I'll do it, I'll do it. Sometimes it's because I'll do it better or quicker or we have a hard time delegating. But it's really important to do that. Defer so tasks that can just wait for later, that don't you know. The world's not going to crumble if it's not done today.

Speaker 1:

And delete, delete shit from your list and your brain. So I felt like that is a really fantastic exercise to do as well. Well, because it just shows you that this overwhelm is kind of like a made-up story in your head and when you put it down and you go delegate, defer, delete, it kind of clears that slate and it also helps you break up that. If it's a massive list, it helps you break up that list to be like, okay, the do things, what needs to be done immediately, let's choose five things and they might be really simple things, but you've made that story up and all of a sudden you've done them and you're like, oh, it's not even like 10 past nine, sick, amazing. So that list is really really amazing. And then just put your things that are on your massive brain dump list into those sections and try and use that daily.

Speaker 1:

You know what I'd like to do one day yeah, maybe not so far future is have a VA for your life, just for your life. That's called a chat GPT. You can't pay bills and stuff, they're true. Yeah, it would be awesome to just delegate a heap of slough that sits in your mind that you know someone you could be paying someone to do. Yeah, I think that's the thing.

Speaker 1:

Like me attached on is we have so much that it's hard to delegate. But some of those things you know, sometimes for me it feels like I'm nagging my husband if I ask him again, but he's often said to me you just have to ask because I don't think about. I'm like, well, lucky you, that's great for you be a mind reader or something like health. Doing that 4D method is going to really help you just decipher that big brain dump list that you've got, and then it's a real mindset shift in terms of even looking at that 4D list, or looking at the list before you do the 4D, or, as you're kind of doing it and literally saying to yourself things like shifting that perspective around.

Speaker 1:

I have too much to do, I have no time to do it, I can't get it all done to. Okay, I'm in control of this list. What can I achieve today? What can be done today? Yeah, I like the affirmations that you put in there too. So I'm in control of my actions and my time. I focus on what matters most and let go of the rest.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and especially, I think that really comes as like in this digital marketing world. It can be really really overwhelming if you just stay in your own lane and just remind yourself I'm in control. I need to not let everything around me affect what I'm doing. Um, I think that's going to be really helpful and just having that awareness I'm getting a little bit off track here. I'm consuming too much or I'm tempted to buy another course, but is that just going to be information overload when I know I know the basics, I know them, I know them well, but I think that the next big course is going to make the big change, or the next investment is going to change everything for me, when it kind of just comes back to creating content, building a brand and driving traffic to your offer.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, exactly, and I think that you know, if the content part of it is the part that's overwhelming you in this space, then even adding that into these action plans, adding that into these 4D in terms of okay, if the content is overwhelming you, then your initial kind of do task might be do one real TikTok, whatever it is today, do one, don't do five. This week, do one and one is better than none. And tasks Instead of changing the font on your website or fixing up your funnel or that shit doesn't really matter, no one's gonna care, no one's probably gonna notice that your content. And if you and if you struggle with your content in a sense that, oh, I don't know what to post, there are tools to help you with that, especially AI, and you know we've been helping our members with that. We've built these AI agents that are going to help them with their content ideas, their captions, like all that overwhelming stuff that makes it 10 times harder. Ai is here. It's not going anywhere. Use it to your advantage to help with the overwhelm and help you stay on track and get a plan and help you with your content ideas. You'd be crazy enough to, absolutely, and we're going to touch on I just want to go back to that in a minute, mia, but before we do, just to kind of wrap that up, because that's basically all it is that we want you to do, because we're not here to overwhelm you, because that would be really shit.

Speaker 1:

If you're like, listen to an overwhelmed podcast and then do 5,000 things, basically to wrap it in a really lovely bow is to you know, look at this process that you can do. It's a brain dump. So just get everything out of your head. Listen to something, do something that takes you away from thinking everything running the YouTube kind of mindset stuff, whatever that might be. Brain dump everything down as much as you can and then put it into the four D's. So, like Mia said, do delegate, defer, delete, put them into those different things and you might get a nice little thing going that this might take you a while to start with, and then you've just got this set up, that each day you just look at and go, okay, what's my do, what's my delegate defer, delete the four big d's and then just moving into that whole mindset shift and really thinking about the way that you're talking to yourself, like, like, I don't have time, I can't do this, how do you make time? Or I've got time to do one thing, I've got time to do this, I can create this, I can do that. So, thinking about that mindset shift, and then also just a really simple mindset gratitude type exercise, just to round it all out. It sounds, you know, I think we've all heard the gratitude stuff that you should do it and I know sometimes I do it, sometimes I don't, when I do it I feel better and even something really small that you do before you go to bed or the first thing when you wake up make some jot down three things you're grateful for, prioritise the one to five things you want to get done and then find an affirmation that just hits you and just really fucking try to do it, like, just really so. Yeah, do you?

Speaker 1:

Did you ever read Eckhart Tolle's books? No, the power of now, holy moly, the best. Like I don't, I cannot read books. That's basically the only book I've ever been able to read from front to back changed everything for me for years, and when I stopped going back to it and when I stopped reading it and touching on it, I went back to my old ways. The ego started to come back, started you know, the negative talk and listening to the ego and all that sort of stuff. So that's my reminder to go back and read that book again, because it's incredible.

Speaker 1:

So what's it called Eckhart Tolle, the Power of Now. Yeah, really really good. Just do yourself a favour. Even if you have to listen to an audible, it's really really good and it brings you back down to nothing. Nothing's really that overwhelming or scary. Or you know, it's your ego, it's the stories that you tell yourself, it's that voice in your head that you keep going back to. Um, you're having that awareness and going, oh, there it goes again. There's my ego, there's those stories in my head. Let's just shut it down now. Really thoughtful book, um, so, but yeah, my point was, even with this gratitude stuff and affirmations, you have to practice it, otherwise you just do it once and you're like I did it, it's not gonna work. You gotta keep doing it and it's one of those things, like you know, even just talking about I will, I will put that book down. I do love me a little cheeky book of a night time. There's a woman that never read books and that's like what I was known for. And then I found, found some personal development kind of books when I left, yeah, when I was made redundant, and then best books, some of the best books I've ever read.

Speaker 1:

But back to the ego stuff. I think what's really interesting and Mia and I have done this recently and we kind of do it often, every so often we find ourselves where we actually say to each other we just like, is this an an ego thing now? Like, is what we're doing wrong? And we're just doing it because it boosts our ego. We've asked ourselves that over probably the last week and we've had moments that it fucking hurts when you realize that maybe it is your ego, but when you can put that to the side and see it clearly and kind of go, oh, okay, it's, it's really. It lifts a really big weight off your shoulders. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. So the other thing that so that's kind of wrapping that up. So it's not hard, it's nothing too much, but really try and practice it. Really try and do it. Let us know, hit us up on the dms if you tried it, if it helped.

Speaker 1:

But I suppose, in terms of just really quickly touching on the whole content idea and what we've created with these ai agents, I suppose one thing we go to we don't need to go too deep into it because we'll do a whole segments and podcasts on it but if you are feeling overwhelmed with your content right now and you're consuming everything and you're like I don't know and all the things, let's just explain what these AI agents are and that we've created one for content, purely for content. Betty is her name. We'll shine a little bit of a light on it because it might be incredibly helpful for you in terms of what we've created and what we've done and why we've done it. Yeah, so most people are going to know what ChatGVT is, ai it's everywhere now, but not many people know that you can actually train your own chatbot agent type things. So it's a combination of your knowledge and what you know and what you want it to put out, and AI. So we've trained. We've made a few of these agents one for content and a few for UGC as well.

Speaker 1:

Basically, we've put everything in our head into these agents and it's mixed with ai and you put some you know it might be your niche or your target audience or a content pillar in there and then it starts to generate you some content, ideas based on your business and whatnot. So it can really help with the overwhelm and help you to plan out your content without getting too off track and too overwhelmed and too oh, should, should I post about this or this or this or that? It really helps you streamline your content and it saves you a buttload of time and it's still you creating the content, talking about it, but it's just taking that edge off. Oh, what am I going to post today? Not sure, I think that's. You know. Even that is part of the overwhelm itself.

Speaker 1:

Like as a busy mom, a content creator, you go from, okay, we're waking up, like even you today, me, you've got two kids home from school and kinder, they're sick. So your brain is not thinking, geez, what can I post on social media? Yeah, and that's like the reality for most of us, where when you've got a tool like Betty, but then you turn to, and that's like the reality for most of us, where when you've got a tool like Betty, but then you turn to and you look at what she's punched out, you're like, damn, that's good. Then you, the creator, can take those prompts, those ideas, turn them into your own and create the piece of content Like it's all in you, it's within you anyway. All we need is to use these as tools to give us the prompts, to give us the confidence to go. Of course I can do that.

Speaker 1:

I just realized, like at the beginning of my journey, I was posting about UGC and I was pretty on track and focused. But the more that I learned, the more that I consumed, the more money that I made, the more overwhelmed I got with content. What do I post? What funnel do I build? Like, the more that you consume and you know, get stuffed inside your head, the muddy, the water it gets, really you gotta drip it all back, go back to the basics, talk to that one person that you want to talk to and drive that traffic to your offer. That's it. Yeah.

Speaker 1:

And these blocks can just help you streamline those content, ideas. And you know, we've trained it to give you hooks, text on screen. The captions are written for you, you know. It just takes that overwhelm out of the whole freaking thing, basically, and when we say trained it or we didn't take it to school, we took obviously our knowledge, but things like our podcasts and our working documents and stuff in the membership and stuff that I've done for years that me has done for years content scripts. We've written all the things that we know make up incredible content and we've put it in there for for it to use, to understand, so it understands content creation from six-figure content creators who know what is required with this stuff.

Speaker 1:

So it's that's the cool part about it is, and that that's what I love the most about, especially this whole overwhelm side and this whole overwhelm topic is that is the biggest point of overwhelm that we certainly found when we were talking to our members and and this just makes it easier because you don't have to add to the overwhelm be like I don't know what to post today, oh my God. And then you get yourself into a knot. You're like, oh, I've done nothing, yeah, I'm not going to post today because I don't know what to post, yeah, and when we do that, we're not growing. So I think that's been a real game changer. But if you want to know that information, it is in the show notes. But that's our cheeky little overwhelm. Hopefully that helps.

Speaker 1:

And if you're feeling that way, I suppose we wanted to say so normal, we get it, we're in it. I was going to say it comes in waves, moons and hormones. Now, mia, I'm going to ask you your loves, don't loves, even though we didn't write it down. So should we raw dog it or oh yeah, let's raw dog it. Hey, what is your don't love this week? Don't love this week. Oh Jesus, now you put me on the spot. I just did a few Pilates classes this week and they were freaking hard, like I'm sore, I'm sore, so I'm not liking that transition into getting super fit. You know, when you're starting from nothing, like when you're trying to get to the next stage of fitness, it hurts, it's really, it's a struggle to keep it going. But I just want to get to that next point where I'm strong enough, where I'm like oh, this is enjoyable, this is great. Something I don't love I love. You know what I'm gonna say teachers, this week I, my son, had a big production last night.

Speaker 1:

They went all out big willie wonka production it was incredible went for two hours. I was just sitting there thinking these teachers have coordinated this whole entire thing with preppies, grade ones up to grade six. They were out all night and I I couldn't do it. Honestly, I don't know how they do it, but yeah, I just, yeah, love teachers for what they do because, yeah, pretty, that's nice, that's nice. We got our membership too and they're all bloody lovely. They are amazing, amazing, yeah, yes, what about yourself?

Speaker 1:

My don't loves this week would be I was pretty pumped about turning 40 and then my body broke down and was like hey, we're just going to give you a sore arm, sore, neck, sore back. Like I was not good for a week, not good Like even me. I was like dude, I think you need to go to the GP. Like it's not good. Even me, I was like dude, I think you need to go to the GP. Like it's not good, I know. And I was like I kind of thought that, fuck, now I have to go, and so I had this like full meltdown. Anyway, I went to the physio. I'm all sorted, guys, me next Me, back Me, and my crack, my neck, my neck. So that's what I don't love.

Speaker 1:

But my love would be, randomly this is very random for me because I don't have any time for cricket, no time whatsoever for cricket, right? I freaking hate the sport. Sorry, if you love it, hate it. But my son bless his cotton socks has just started cricket at school and my love is seeing the joy on his face, like he is so pumped and like that to me is gold, because kids in sport I have a huge love for. I think it's so, so important and as much as like.

Speaker 1:

Even when we had a boy like the first thing, we were like he's not going to play cricket, like we'll buy him a motorbike, we've bought him a motorbike, we've done all the things that we tried to do, and he's like hey, can I play cricket? Then I was like and he's like beaming with it. So I was like damn it, yeah, okay, a lot of cricket. So I look he's only young, so like we're just playing an hour game tonight or something, but there's wine involved. So I'm there, I'm there, it's okay, take your flask down there. I don't think it's flask worthy. I think we're gonna let you go. Hope that was helpful and we'll see you next podcast. So many good ones too.
