Speaker 1 (00:01):
And Amanda jam tell you what, at this time of year,
many of us are feeling tired, lost, in need of
a boost, needing to feel recentered and connected well. Seven
times World surfing champion Lane Beachley has a new book
out with wellness mentor Test Brauer. The book is called
a Wake Academy and it could transform your life. Lane.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Hello, that's in excess. It's a banging surf song.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
It's just a banking song.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Can we just talk about the great surf trap? What's
been going on?
Speaker 4 (00:31):
I was talking to the chaps the other day and
Cronulla Way, there just seems to be no surf.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Yeah, well there's a bit on the Northern beaches. You're
just being starved down there.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
But that's always this is what happens because on the
Northern beaches the sand is better and the surf is better.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
True, So you can't argue with that.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
You know, it's weird. Your sand is yellow on the
Northern beaches. If you notice that house.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Is white, Manly's white, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
But it crosses over once you get up to avl
on the sand is yellow.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Well.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
You know, I could listen to this all day, but
I'd rather talk to Lane.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
I've had to go back to wind surfing because I
better de evolving.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
He's regressing.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
At this time of year, many of us are feeling challenged.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Yeah, what are you.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Suggesting we do?
Speaker 3 (01:13):
I'm suggesting we stop and take a breath, because we're
just on the hamster wheel of life. We're getting too
out of control. We're losing connection with the things that
are really important to us, such as just our emotions,
which then prevents us from begin to connect with people properly.
Then we become siloed, and then we numb, or we drink,
or we just do things that we can sabotage our
long term health and well being. So this book is
(01:34):
providing you with a toolkit to help you rebuild yourself
from the inside out, because, as we know, if we
don't go within, we'll always go without. So it's about
helping people boost their energy, their empathy, and their emotional
intelligence to live a more happier and more purposeful life.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
When you were in the you were at the height
of your fame and yet in the depths of some darkness. Yes,
could you've imagined yourself educating other people on how to
find their way out?
Speaker 3 (01:58):
No, I couldn't even do it myself. That's what I
had to resort to dealing or drawing on the resources
of professionals and experts and therapists to help provide me
with the toolkit. So essentially Tessa and I have condensed
our life lessons and they lived and learned into a
toolkit to help people do the same, and we've saved
people thousands of dollars in therapy.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
I'll send you send the invoices.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Yeah, because my therapy is I just say, get a motorcycle.
You write a.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
Motorcycle running moment, and just get what you do. You
live in the moment everything For me and I don't
drive a car. I just write a motorbike every day
and that's my therapy. But also I like getting out
in the surf. Yes, I like swearing when I go windsurfing,
because that is the dumbest thing in the history of
the world to do.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
It is so but it.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Doesn't always have to be physical stuff, does it. You
can find you're in a piece and all the things
that sent to you without having to be.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
A surfer or.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
I'm not saying having to jump on a motorbike.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
You don't need to buy a motiv what you really need.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
To do is just to stop and immerse yourself in
nature and connect with your emotions. But a lot of
us are too afraid to even connect with our emotions
because they're so out of control, and sometimes we don't
want to know what we don't want to know. But
nature is our greatest healer. And if we can just
stop and center ourselves. Take one round of a box
breathing exercise in how for four seconds, hold for four seconds,
ex hel for four seconds, and hold for four seconds.
(03:14):
You create this sense of calm and clarity in your mind,
and then that empowers you to choose how you respond
to life's adventures. Otherwise we're always in this reactionary mode
and we're behaving in ways that's not congruent with who
we really want to be.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
And social media doesn't help, specially when we're talking about siloing,
because if you're on Twitter or any of those news sites,
once you click on that, you're in an algorithm.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
So whatever that algorithm.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Is, it'll keep feeding you. Yeah, yeah, because it obviously
wants to distract you from life. And that's what social
media ultimately is, is this constant distraction, which creates a
lot of apathy, not empathy. It actually fuels disconnection versus
creating more connections. So we need to start establishing boundaries
around the utilization of our media sources and our connection
(03:56):
to things outside of us, and learn how to recenter
ourselves and bring up cells back home, which is just
within our heart.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
We had you on the show just before talking about
Tom Caroly's. Okay, he cracked his head in the surf,
but then you were telling us this story.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
He board flipped and he got the fin right up
his wreck done.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Have you ever had a similar thing? Have you had injuries?
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Quirky quirky injuries? I certainly haven't had a fin up
my ears, So Finn.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Brothers, you take me all over to you. I'm sure,
Slider double date man.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
But I've had plenty of injuries. I mean this, this
dimple on my face is actually a scar from my
board hitting me in the face and it split. Sorry,
that's the microphone split my face apart.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Yeah. And I got dragged up the beach and I
got plumped on a stretcher in the I was in
Japan and the sand is black over there by the way,
and they put me on a stretcher under just a
marquee on the sand. And fortunately there was a doctor
there at the contest to us from Hawaii. So he
put a needle in my face, which hurt more than
my face apart, and sewed me up with plastic surgery
stitches on the sand, sent me home with an ice pack,
(05:05):
and then I had I woke up the next morning
with two black eyes, my left eye swollen shut, a
cricket ball size of swelling on my left on the
left cheek, and paddle back out.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
That's hard, of course, she did.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Now imagine those people watching though they see lame Beach,
they come off, they put up. It's like at the
horse races where they go and shoot the contender. I
would have thought, well, you know, they put the curtain
up around there.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Like the Hunger Games, Yes, the Hunger Games.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
If he hadn't been there and stitch your face in
that way, what wouldn't happen.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Well, I don't know. I must I would have been
sent to a hospital in Japan. And I don't speak
very good Japanese.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Because that's a really nice it looks like a smile.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
It does look like a smile line. But that's coming
back to the book talk a lot about building empathy,
and I didn't have any empathy for myself, so I
had this win it all cost mentality, just get through it,
Just get through it. And a lot of us are
ignoring the symptoms in pursuit of something. But firstly, we
don't know what we're pursuing, and secondly, we're pursuing it
at a win it all cost mentality, and that's what
(05:58):
I had.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
I had.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
I was tagged as having the compacts of a tiger shark.
And we can't which means none, which means zero. Exactly,
you're in my way, you're on my way, get out
of my way. And because I had no compassion or
empathy for myself, I can't extend that to anybody. We
can't pull from an empty cup, so we want to
help people fill the cup back on good.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
So I'm going to take my sup board and got
in the lineup next to you.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Please don't see how that compassion.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
