Speaker 1 (00:00):
I would like to acknowledge the traditional owners of the
land on which this episode is being recorded, the Combomb
Merry people. They've been having conversations and telling stories on
this land for thousands of years, and we show our
gratitude and respect for their contribution to our environment and culture.
(00:21):
This is Rise and Conquer, the podcast where we strive
to become the highest version of ourselves through curious conversations,
healthy mindsets, laughter, connection, and a deep desire to evolve.
I'm your host, Georgie Stevenson. Join me as we explore parenthood, business, manifestation,
(00:46):
and so much more. It's positive, it's practical, and it's
about putting you in the driver's seat of your own life.
Are you ready? Cooper Welcome back to the Rise and
Kuka podcast.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Thanks for having me again. He's that work.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Let's get straight into this episode today. I want to
chat to you about our best habits, hacks, like things
that we have done and tried that have actually helped
our personal growth in us becoming who we are now. Oh,
(01:25):
but I want them to be stuff that we've done
ourselves and we can facilitate ourselves because I know mean,
you both have like a huge journey with you know,
getting help and all that sort of thing. But like
let's just talk very kind of like things we do daily, rituals, habits,
that sort of thing that have been so powerful in
(01:47):
our journey. Yeah, I think we'll just go one for
one so you can start.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
I reckon. For me, the strongest thing that I've been
doing is going to gym. I just think exercise and
moving your body is the number one thing for longevity.
Like I've been that, Like things have come up, like
with granddad passing as well, I took to other people
(02:12):
and their grandparents and how old they lived and what
they've done, and like a lot of the older Nanning
granddads that have lasted over ninety years, Yeah, they've all
been so active. Like I feel like it's very common
thing that I keep hearing and I've heard, like I've
(02:35):
seen some documentaries on Netflix in Japan, a lot of
elderlies they're just still walking, still doing exercise. Whatdd they eating? Really,
there's a lot of other factors. One of the main
ones I lost jevity is exercise, and I just yeah,
I'm all for it, whatever that may be.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Like committed, I think with you, you exercise but you're
not like slogging your body. You know how those smeles
there and they're like running marathons. You movement and exercise,
but it's very functional, yes, rather than just you go
out run fifteen k every day, because.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
That can do damage to your body in long term
if you're going too hard and exerting, like, it's good
to do it here and there. We should be sprinting
as humans, we should be sprinting. It was like a whoa, whoa.
It was a study to say that we should be
able to sprint like one hundred meters all the way
(03:35):
up until when you're old, and studies show that if
you can do that as massive longevity.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
What makes sense. Like back in the day, we're running
for food and stuff.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
From a line. Well, well it's even like mind's exercise.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
When we're recording pregnant And I stopped working out for
a bit there once I got that placenta PREVR. Well,
I just I stopped doing heavyweights because he said, don't
do heavyweights like you can do just like normal movement.
But it kind of just stopped because like mentally I
had to. But I've just gotten back into reformer platis
and platis and I just do it twice a week
(04:15):
and it's like a very gentle movement. But I've also
just noticed the endorphins. It's not even anything crazy, but
I just feel even structurally, like I walked it before,
when I was walking down the stairs, I was like,
oh my god, am I I'm going to be full
term and slip a disc or something like it felt
(04:36):
it didn't feel good, but like now it's only been
a couple of weeks, but like the muscle memory, like structurally,
I just feel better.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
What makes sense to me, Like you've got to oil
your engines. You gotta keep things moving, your muscles, your bones, everything,
your tendons, to keep them moving and strengthening. Just makes
sense to me. Yeah, love, Yeah, that's mine.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Okay, my one would be I'm actually gonna split this up,
but the first one.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Is really drag it out.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
I'm going to really drag this episode out again. So meditation.
But there's two types of meditation that I do. So
the first type is meditation, but it's more about giving
myself space and stillness, so just times during the day
(05:30):
where I am kind of just like we clean our
teeth every single day because we have to clean our
teeth because we're using them to eat food. Like I
look at the type of meditation that it's like it's
not a guided meditation. It's like sitting there in stillness
where I'm either repeating a mantrat in my brain or
(05:52):
doing kind of like transdental sort of meditation, and it's
just like stillness and space, so I can clean my brain,
clean my thoughts and just having some space. And I'll
often do this when I feel myself being anxious or
like rushing or like in fear, and I can feel
myself in that kind of like survive all that panic
(06:15):
and just like some stillness. And that is just like
been life changing for me because I never used to
be able to sit in stillness. I never used to
take a moment. Yeah, Like I never used to take
a moment for myself, and then that was reflected in
my life like I was just going, going, going, but
like my life was just going, going, going, was now
(06:36):
I'm taking moments where I'm actually just like So something
I'll actually do is like sit and be present and
I'll be like what can I smell? What can I see?
What can I touch?
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Well?
Speaker 1 (06:46):
And I'll go through my five senses of being present
in the moment, because I feel like we're constantly either
living in the past or the future. Yeah, and we're
never actually in the moment. And then even so, if
I'm feeling a bit anxious or I don't know, rush
or whatnot, I'm like, in this moment, everything's perfect. Yeah,
(07:07):
I have my family that loves me. I'm you know,
nothing's actually wrong.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Well, you can even go down to a deeper level
of like, I'm so grateful to being able to breathe,
to be able to see. Yeah, like those weird things
that we take for granted every day I can move
like I'm here to be thankful. Yeah, I have gratitude
for that. But you get that with silence.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Yeah, just like stillness. Yeah, I know that sounds so simple,
but I never.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Sat in still We're just not We're not taught that
these days. We're taught you got to work, you got
to work harder, and if you work harder, you get
more money and you get more pay But with what
we've come to realize is you can work less.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
The less you work, the more you get paid.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Well, that's the reality that we're built.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
That's because that's our belief.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Yeah, but like why not install that?
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Yeah, but you can't install that until you have stillness,
until you actually have a moment. And that's even like
I'll have a moment where I'll be like, hang on,
the panic or the fear or the stress, is it
even something I need to be stressed about? And I'll
be like, no, this is all just an illusion.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
This isn't real.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Mean to you. We're actually talking about this at lunch
and we were saying like, how so many people's stresses
aren't real, Like it's fake, like it's fake fear or like.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
What is real for that person? But they believe that
it's real, so.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Or they believe it's important. But it's like, is that
really important?
Speaker 2 (08:49):
It doesn't have to be real.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
So much of our own stress and anxiety is we
don't actually need to be stressed and anxious about it.
We don't actually need to have that fear. And that's
what stillness has helped me with.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
I really want to meditate more, and that is just
the belief that I don't have the time, and it's.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
You don't have the time. Yeah, Oh my god, goober,
that weird. That is so on. Yeah, what's your next
habit life changing hack habit.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Well, I've come to learn how to do certain exercises
and processes on myself. And this has come from my
what do you call leva, my Levi, my Levi, just
what you've learned. Yeah, yeah, he's not really psychiatrists, psychologists.
He's a trauma and toxin therapist. Yes, yes, So from that,
(09:46):
I like, he didn't really sit me down and teach
me these things. I just had such a pull towards
memorizing them, and I just thought, I need to learn
this stuff because this is life changing, and one day
I'm going to teach these sorts of things to help
(10:07):
everyone else because that's yeah, life changing for me because
when I have certain things come up in my life
and I'm disregulated, Yeah, I can't perform to my best self.
We can't think I'm not the best doubt, I'm not
the best husband, And they're obviously the ones that get
(10:28):
all of my shit, and so I don't want to
put that onto them all the time. You can't, Yes,
my kids and my wife and so yeah I can
like at night when I've had a big day and
I've had a trigger or something has annoyed me and
I've got a certain emotion, I just say, ash, I
just I need fifteen minutes. I can do it pretty
(10:50):
quick now because I've done it so many times. So
just eft padding, which is Levi's exercise that he has.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Been Well, it's just it's similar to ef TEA tapping,
but it's called padding. Well known is ef T tapping.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
So tapping is what everyone knows, different Meridians, different way
to do it.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
So like the thing of like when you're tapping different
parts of your body while saying you know certain things.
You've probably seen it on social media.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Yes, it is hard to explain. Yeah, I haven't done it. Sorry,
this thing everyone knows in my head.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
What are you doing.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
About I haven't done a podcast in a while. You
don't remember that.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
I just know what I'm saying, and so tell us
about padding, Like, so when would you do it?
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Just when I'm just regulated, when my emotions are high,
when I'm feeling angry, annoyed, frustrated, fearful. Yeah, anythink that
I want to regulate and I'm not like I'm just
I'm in fight or flight mode like survival. Yeah. Yeah,
So like if I'm angry and you go home you're
(11:59):
going to at that angle onto your partner, your wife,
your kids, like, and they're gonna copy it because that's
their job and that's okay. But if you did have
the choice to regulate that, and then once you've finished
regulating yourself, come out and be that happy dad and
(12:19):
give them the love and attention they need. Like, I
think that's beyond powerful.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
You know what's interesting with patting two is it will
make me see things in a completely different way.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Just low as your ego, yeah, likes.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
I can be in such a heightened emotional state and
be like so certain that like let's say, for what, Yeah,
it's just I.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Can I know, like I am right, Yeah, like so
certain your ego I'm right, or like Tim's wrong, and
like this is the reality victim. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
And then I'll do padding and I'll be like like,
oh my god, what he's.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Wrong with me? Yeah, like I I'm actually really happy.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Yeah, and I'll be like, oh, wow, I completely didn't
see his view of things, or like I didn't understand
how Cooper felt, And now I can see things in
such a different way, and then we'll be able to
have a conversation and it can be so civil and nice,
whereas before I was in such a heightened emotional state
that I was like, no, like this is the way
(13:25):
I'm right, this is how it should be. It like
completely opens up those like blinders in your like belief system.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Yeah, I don't have tunnel vision anymore. Fully step back
and see everything, make better decisions, be your best self.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Yeah, and not that from a place of scarcity or
fear or because we did like a lot of you know,
patting in the Abundance Academy around money triggers, and people
commented how they were able to completely transform their relationship
(14:03):
with money in their financial situation by literally just using padding.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
You're welcome. You get rid of those doubts, like when
you don't have doubt in yourself and the fear and scarcity,
and it's so clear, like it's just right in front
of you, and it's just so much easier. Yeah, it's
definitely life changing for me.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Sure I'm the exact same with padding. Life changing. Yeah,
And you can do it like on yourself, really simple.

via the link in the show notes. My next one
is so I said like stillness meditation that kind of
like giving myself space. This is like the follow up.
It's guided meditations that help me see things from a
(16:00):
different lens. So let me explain it. So, like in
the Rise app, we do a lot of like guided
meditations where it empowers you to show up as your
best self. It's like or like calm down or like
giving you emotions to step into and I really love
(16:20):
using them. You know, we have very specific situations too,
like if you're about to go to a family gathering
or like a gathering where you feel anxious, and it's
just like guiding your thoughts and emotions to a specific
lens so you're able to move through that experience differently.
And I love using them for just seeing things a
(16:41):
different way, like again having that stillness and deciding like
which because like, if you think about it, there's multiple
Georgies happening all the time and all these different timelines.
Like I have multiple aspects of me, and so when
I do guided meditations, it's almost it's like picking which
(17:01):
me who I want to show up in that moment.
It's a very weird way of explaining it. It's what
makes sense in my head. Yeah, And so I love
guided it's almost like boring power, Like it's boring, Yeah,
how do I want to show up? Who do I
want to be? What I want to believe? Because our
beliefs shape everything. What we believe to be true about
(17:22):
ourselves and life is then what is like, you know, reflected.
So I love guided meditations to like get me on
the frequency or the vibe that I want to be on.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Yeah, So it kind of just shows you where you
actually want to go. Subconsciously, by listening to something yes,
that guides you to where you actually need to go,
and not having these other voices in your head and fears,
it just makes everything so much clearer.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Yeah, And I'll often like I'm listening listening to a
guided meditation every day, listening to yourself yeah oh you yeah,
or like I'll do and ones on YouTube and whatnot.
But instead of like listening to the radio or like
listening to a podcast, I'm very intentional of like, Okay,
(18:10):
well I'm going to work and I'm feeling a bit anxious.
I'm going to put this on so I can show
up to work not feeling anxious, not feeling rushed, and
I can get the most out of my day. Like
I use it very like intentional, and I'm using it
literally every single day really, Like this morning, I put
one on. We have a very specific one basically about
(18:32):
showing up even when you're tired. And I had insomnia
last night and I was just feeling really low energy,
and it's basically just to get you on like a
higher energy, and so like I put that on because
I'm like, even though I have low energy and I'm
feeling tired, I still want to show up to and
I still want to do my things because I know
I'm going to feel really good after and so that's
(18:53):
what I picked. Yeah, well look I'm here record on
podcasts day. Yeah. So, like I think guided menagedas are
like so underrated.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
You can actually do that with patting as well. Let
you know, you can fall put in the emotion you're
feeling is super tired, and you go through the process
and that at the end of it, you're not tired anymore.
I know. Wild, that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
But like how crazy that our emotions control us so
much where we think they're real and they're not actually real.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
But there's so many tools around us to actually help us.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
We just everyone like just the emotions.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
I just think I'm just going to listen to music
and be sad or be tired, go home and just
say I'm so tired.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
And winge and be a victim. Don't do it, honestly,
don't do it. Just down for us, Just get out
of your own shit. No, but it is. I let
it's like my pet hate is I cannot stand anyone
being a victim. Like it's something that like, yeah, I'm like.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Come on, come on, do something about it.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Like this day and age like it is different with
our parents, but this day and age like.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
At the time much different with their parents.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Okay, I know you hate when I say that. Like
with our iPhones, chatch etp with the touch of anything,
we have so much at our fingertips and it's so
much free content that you can utilize on YouTube or
you know, different platforms. I just cannot stand when people
like stay stuck in their own stuff.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
We know they need to do it, but wake up.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
I know you can do it. I have no spice
for it. Okay, what's another habit? So you've done movement
and you've done padding.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Next very important is me time. If I don't get
me time, I just I know my me time is
go and play golf so we have some fun and
I'm sad the next day because I've had too much fun.
(21:07):
But like, if I don't play golf, I can just
feel my mood on the weekends because weekends is family
time most of the time. Sometimes I play golf because
I do a comp but yeah, I just I love
to just be home.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
And so what's the benefits of me time though that.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
I get more space in my head, and I get
more space for the people around me, and I'm able
to give more than because if like we're all kind
of I reckon, we're all born to be givers. And
if you're so stuck in your energy and your bad.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Bad energy, I guess you become a martyr.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Yeah, and you're just you'll become the victim as well.
Like if you're not looking after yourself, you'll always say, oh,
go to go to work. I just I have to.
I'm just so miserable. But like if you know you've
got a me day and you get a free day
as well as your weekends, and I don't know, like whatever,
it's so different for everyone. For me, I just need
(22:10):
one day, one half a day a week, and I
get my weekends with my family, Like that's all I need.
Like I get recharged going to work by myself as well,
and that's different. But yeah, just for me personally, I
don't get one me day. Not good.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Yeah, well I think growing up that wasn't Ever it's
still as prioritized or like were doing.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Why are you going to golf? You should be working
and why are you working harder?
Speaker 1 (22:44):
I don't know what a dance out the other day.
He's like, look where Naked Harves is and you work
two hours a week. He's like, imagine if you worked
full time.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Yeah he said that to me as well.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Yeah, I know he didn't say that to me. I'm
saying that's what he's like.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Imagine if you did forty to fifty hours, Imagine how
big the company was. I'm like, well, actually it would
probably be smaller, dad, because I would be understanding. He's like, yeah,
I don't understand that.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
You learn to say that.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
I've also had a long journey with the me time
and absolutely, like I feel again, it's like the whole
if I fill up my own cup, I am such
a different wife, mother, creative person in the business. And
my whole thing is like I just love sitting in
the sun and listening to something or like I don't
(23:35):
want to be doing anything. I don't want to be
playing golf, I don't want to be like moving. I
love just like having time or eating food. Yeah, eating food,
love eating like a cye bolt on the beach with
a book ten out of ten else Yeah, but yeah, no,
I'm the exact same, and I feel like people don't
realize sometimes is, especially when you are building something, taking
(23:58):
that time out for yourself to re charge, you come
back and your capacity, your impact is tenfold.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Well, I like to look at when you're in an aeroplane
and they always say when it if it's going to crash,
you've got to get your mask and put it on
yourself and then help your kids. And it's such a
good metaphor to use to like, you can't look after
your kids if you're dead or if you're not breathing,
(24:27):
like you can't help them. So yeah, it's very drastic,
but no, it's the same thing in life because it
really is drastic, and a lot of people aren't getting
me time and they're not looking after themselves because they
want to provide, they want to make more money, they
want to do this for their kids and that sort
of thing. And really it's the kids don't want any money,
(24:51):
they want time, but some thing. But yeah, if you
have that space, that's everything else around you.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Like Tim is a stay at home dad, but Ivy
still goes to kindy two days a week so he
can have his time because he's such a better dad
and like such a better husband. If it is, actually
I don't.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Like people judge that as well.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Yeah, and that awesome anyone.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
But but then he has molded his life to suit
himself and I just think, good on you, Tim.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Yeah, like he's living the dream and that's intentional.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
So good of you for doing that because now you
can be a better dad. Yeah, because he went on
a trip to Japan by himself. I was like, that's awesome, Like,
good on you.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
It's so rogue. Yeah, just like broken our family.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Very yeah, in our family and they're like, what's Tim
doing going he has all the time off and oh my,
that's awesome to come back so refreshed. Yeah, he's going
to do it and he's going to be a better
dad now, Like that sounds good to me.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Well, also, it's like it's understanding biologically it's going on
a bit of a ramp. But like men crave freedom
and women crave support and being adored. Like, biologically, this
is what I believe. So it's like with Tim, for
him to be a great man, the head of our family,
(26:29):
he needs that freedom, whether it's a golf day or
you know, gone to Japan, go to but it then
creates him to feel like not a man. But do
you know what I mean, like it makes him be
like I'm good, so then I can support and be
the best for my family.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Yeah. Yeah, there's heaped parts of it, like yeah, freedom,
loved feeling that you're Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Anyway, next, so this isn't something that I've been doing lately,
and it's about detaching, so like anything happening in my life,
not taking it personally, not reacting, detaching from that whatever,
(27:16):
I guess, just not reacting and then being like, hang
on a second, do I want to believe this is
this true? Do I want to be this person? Do
I want to have this reality being like intentional with
co creating the next steps or what I want in
my life? And again, I think to get to this point,
(27:37):
you really need that previous regulation stillness to actually have
because I feel like most of us are just reacting
constantly to life, and so in certain moments, let's say,
you know, Tim does something and it makes me feel
like shit, but I'm like, in that moment, I'm like,
do I want to accept this as truth? Do I
(28:00):
want this to be my reality? Do I want to
believe in this or can I believe in something else?
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Yeah? You really got to do the work to get
to that point.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
And like really deciding.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
But it's cool because knowing that you can get to
that position in your life by just doing work on yourself,
it's great to know that you can get to that point.
It takes a lot of work expert level.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
But have you been doing that too, like almost just
being like like I was saying, like something will happen,
and my perception is let's say, like, oh, people don't
like me, I'm not loved. I know whatever the fears
or reaction would be that my inner child would feel.
And I can like catch that and be like that's
(28:50):
not true. That's an illusion, and I refuse to believe that,
and then I moved through my day like that didn't happen.
Like it's a bit tululu, yeah, almost like being proper crazy,
but it's helped me so much to be like I
don't have to constantly take on everything. I don't have
to like believe what's happening in my reality is what's
(29:14):
actually happening.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
What would you call this like detached the.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Broad Well, well I'm trying. I'm trying to make it
into like a habit, but yeah, like not taking things personally,
detaching and actually.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Deciding, just taking a step back and not being stuck
in the emotions and not reacting, like to say it
more on a higher level, so I can understand it.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
More so like detachment and deciding how I want that
moment to.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Be it and then you can get that easy.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
And that has that has been so helpful.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
That's very cool that you're in that part of your life.
My next one is eating healthy, healthy eating for me,
because it's to really understand food and that sort of thing.
Like I've listened to a lot of podcasts and obviously
(30:18):
the people around us has told them. They've told me
a lot of things. And if I just do a
whole whole foods diet, man, I feel good and it
doesn't have to be boring, Like you can look for
ways where it like fruit instead of sugar stuff, Like
(30:39):
fruit is so sweet. So I had the other day,
I had a little lolly and then I had had
a lot of grapes. The grapes were waist sweeter and
a trumped sugar like it's.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
Well, it's like whatever your accustomed to.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Yeah I didn't. That was grossly anyway.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
But you know, if you're constantly eating process crap and
then you have a piece of fruit, You're like, it's
got no taste to it.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Like if I just have meat, a couple veggies not much,
and then just fruit. I love peanut butter. I have
peanut butter. I just love a cyeballs and then nuts
and stuff. Like I'm full guns deep into diet mode.
It's just like second nature to me now, like I
really went into it and understood certain things that was
(31:32):
a lot to do. LEVI helped me with that, and
so it's just to listen to your body. Some things
I can't have but other people can. Like it's just
to listen if you.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
I think our body type, Like I know myself too,
I feel best high protein, high fat, low car and
it's like that's like what my body feels best on.
I think it is most people, though, Yeah, unless you're
like an athlete and you're like burning off cars, you
need that. I think also for me though, it's because
(32:04):
I have PCOS, so I had to go on that
whole like balancing my blood sugar levels and just anything
high carb is going to shoot your blood sugar out,
So it's like you have to always pair it with
like proteins. Fats die for me, it's fun important. Yeah,
I'm trying to think of there's anything else. I feel
like that kind of like really wraps things up. Honestly,
(32:25):
my biggest thing is like the meditation and like regulating
my emotions so I'm not reacting. And that was the
kind of my final point of like having detachment and
being like so intentional of do I want to continue
in this mood? Do I want to continue in this
frequency and then being able to decide yes or no?
Whea was I feel like so many of us are
(32:45):
like in survival in this like not understanding that we're
constantly in fear or anger or whatever. We're not able
to move through life. Probably yep.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
It is crazy that like we have these crazy emotions
and beliefs that we've installed. They control us so bad.
But like if you think about it's a lot to
do with the book that we've read, Like you can
shape your beliefs and you can change anything you ever want.
(33:19):
But then it goes against everything that we've been brought up,
everything we've been taught, and it's just But then if
I would say to you, but what about if that's true,
Imagine if you could live your life without fear or
live your life in riches without without Yeah, and people
(33:43):
I don't know, I would hope they would say, yeah,
I would love what you would want. But that's just
a belief that you could have. But it's crazy that
we just our emotions are so strong in us that
we straight away go back and can't do that.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Yeah, it can't be really cool.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
It's not even real. But like there's someone on this
planet that's doing that exact same thing right now.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Who has those beliefs, who has that life.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Yeah, So like beliefs huge come Yeah, like are just
so massive, and it's imagine if you could just change them.
Well you can, that's the thing. That's what I'm Yeah,
and it's crazy that no one knows that that can
actually happen and they don't want to believe it. And
(34:33):
because there's a lot of people around me that say
these things and I'm like, no, this could be it,
and they're like, no, it can't. You're like, what about
if it is true?
Speaker 1 (34:44):
Like that can't do it just because our society is
bread and shape to think worst case scenario, to think,
don't ever you know, dream big or have these high
goals because you'll be disappointed, you'll never make it likes farmed. Yeah, Well,
it's like we that's the way it has kind of been.
(35:06):
That's the way we've all grown up, and so it
is hard to break out of that. But then once
you do, you realize the truth and you're like, holy shit,
life's actually so easy.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
It can't It can be easy.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
It can be easy. You have to heal your shit
and you have to work through it, and you have
to take responsibility. Yep, one little step, all right, Coop,

Speaker 2 (01:02):
Thanks for having me again. He's that work.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Let's get straight into this episode today. I want to
chat to you about our best habits, hacks, like things
that we have done and tried that have actually helped
our personal growth in us becoming who we are now. Oh,
(01:25):
but I want them to be stuff that we've done
ourselves and we can facilitate ourselves because I know mean,
you both have like a huge journey with you know,
getting help and all that sort of thing. But like
let's just talk very kind of like things we do daily, rituals, habits,
that sort of thing that have been so powerful in
(01:47):
our journey. Yeah, I think we'll just go one for
one so you can start.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
I reckon. For me, the strongest thing that I've been
doing is going to gym. I just think exercise and
moving your body is the number one thing for longevity.
Like I've been that, Like things have come up, like
with granddad passing as well, I took to other people
(02:12):
and their grandparents and how old they lived and what
they've done, and like a lot of the older Nanning
granddads that have lasted over ninety years, Yeah, they've all
been so active. Like I feel like it's very common
thing that I keep hearing and I've heard, like I've
(02:35):
seen some documentaries on Netflix in Japan, a lot of
elderlies they're just still walking, still doing exercise. Whatdd they eating? Really,
there's a lot of other factors. One of the main
ones I lost jevity is exercise, and I just yeah,
I'm all for it, whatever that may be.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Like committed, I think with you, you exercise but you're
not like slogging your body. You know how those smeles
there and they're like running marathons. You movement and exercise,
but it's very functional, yes, rather than just you go
out run fifteen k every day, because.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
That can do damage to your body in long term
if you're going too hard and exerting, like, it's good
to do it here and there. We should be sprinting
as humans, we should be sprinting. It was like a whoa, whoa.
It was a study to say that we should be
able to sprint like one hundred meters all the way
(03:35):
up until when you're old, and studies show that if
you can do that as massive longevity.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
What makes sense. Like back in the day, we're running
for food and stuff.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
From a line. Well, well it's even like mind's exercise.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
When we're recording pregnant And I stopped working out for
a bit there once I got that placenta PREVR. Well,
I just I stopped doing heavyweights because he said, don't
do heavyweights like you can do just like normal movement.
But it kind of just stopped because like mentally I
had to. But I've just gotten back into reformer platis
and platis and I just do it twice a week
(04:15):
and it's like a very gentle movement. But I've also
just noticed the endorphins. It's not even anything crazy, but
I just feel even structurally, like I walked it before,
when I was walking down the stairs, I was like,
oh my god, am I I'm going to be full
term and slip a disc or something like it felt
(04:36):
it didn't feel good, but like now it's only been
a couple of weeks, but like the muscle memory, like structurally,
I just feel better.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
What makes sense to me, Like you've got to oil
your engines. You gotta keep things moving, your muscles, your bones, everything,
your tendons, to keep them moving and strengthening. Just makes
sense to me. Yeah, love, Yeah, that's mine.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Okay, my one would be I'm actually gonna split this up,
but the first one.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Is really drag it out.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
I'm going to really drag this episode out again. So meditation.
But there's two types of meditation that I do. So
the first type is meditation, but it's more about giving
myself space and stillness, so just times during the day
(05:30):
where I am kind of just like we clean our
teeth every single day because we have to clean our
teeth because we're using them to eat food. Like I
look at the type of meditation that it's like it's
not a guided meditation. It's like sitting there in stillness
where I'm either repeating a mantrat in my brain or
(05:52):
doing kind of like transdental sort of meditation, and it's
just like stillness and space, so I can clean my brain,
clean my thoughts and just having some space. And I'll
often do this when I feel myself being anxious or
like rushing or like in fear, and I can feel
myself in that kind of like survive all that panic
(06:15):
and just like some stillness. And that is just like
been life changing for me because I never used to
be able to sit in stillness. I never used to
take a moment. Yeah, Like I never used to take
a moment for myself, and then that was reflected in
my life like I was just going, going, going, but
like my life was just going, going, going, was now
(06:36):
I'm taking moments where I'm actually just like So something
I'll actually do is like sit and be present and
I'll be like what can I smell? What can I see?
What can I touch?
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Well?
Speaker 1 (06:46):
And I'll go through my five senses of being present
in the moment, because I feel like we're constantly either
living in the past or the future. Yeah, and we're
never actually in the moment. And then even so, if
I'm feeling a bit anxious or I don't know, rush
or whatnot, I'm like, in this moment, everything's perfect. Yeah,
(07:07):
I have my family that loves me. I'm you know,
nothing's actually wrong.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Well, you can even go down to a deeper level
of like, I'm so grateful to being able to breathe,
to be able to see. Yeah, like those weird things
that we take for granted every day I can move
like I'm here to be thankful. Yeah, I have gratitude
for that. But you get that with silence.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Yeah, just like stillness. Yeah, I know that sounds so simple,
but I never.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Sat in still We're just not We're not taught that
these days. We're taught you got to work, you got
to work harder, and if you work harder, you get
more money and you get more pay But with what
we've come to realize is you can work less.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
The less you work, the more you get paid.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Well, that's the reality that we're built.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
That's because that's our belief.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Yeah, but like why not install that?
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Yeah, but you can't install that until you have stillness,
until you actually have a moment. And that's even like
I'll have a moment where I'll be like, hang on,
the panic or the fear or the stress, is it
even something I need to be stressed about? And I'll
be like, no, this is all just an illusion.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
This isn't real.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Mean to you. We're actually talking about this at lunch
and we were saying like, how so many people's stresses
aren't real, Like it's fake, like it's fake fear or like.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
What is real for that person? But they believe that
it's real, so.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Or they believe it's important. But it's like, is that
really important?
Speaker 2 (08:49):
It doesn't have to be real.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
So much of our own stress and anxiety is we
don't actually need to be stressed and anxious about it.
We don't actually need to have that fear. And that's
what stillness has helped me with.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
I really want to meditate more, and that is just
the belief that I don't have the time, and it's.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
You don't have the time. Yeah, Oh my god, goober,
that weird. That is so on. Yeah, what's your next
habit life changing hack habit.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Well, I've come to learn how to do certain exercises
and processes on myself. And this has come from my
what do you call leva, my Levi, my Levi, just
what you've learned. Yeah, yeah, he's not really psychiatrists, psychologists.
He's a trauma and toxin therapist. Yes, yes, So from that,
(09:46):
I like, he didn't really sit me down and teach
me these things. I just had such a pull towards
memorizing them, and I just thought, I need to learn
this stuff because this is life changing, and one day
I'm going to teach these sorts of things to help
(10:07):
everyone else because that's yeah, life changing for me because
when I have certain things come up in my life
and I'm disregulated, Yeah, I can't perform to my best self.
We can't think I'm not the best doubt, I'm not
the best husband, And they're obviously the ones that get
(10:28):
all of my shit, and so I don't want to
put that onto them all the time. You can't, Yes,
my kids and my wife and so yeah I can
like at night when I've had a big day and
I've had a trigger or something has annoyed me and
I've got a certain emotion, I just say, ash, I
just I need fifteen minutes. I can do it pretty
(10:50):
quick now because I've done it so many times. So
just eft padding, which is Levi's exercise that he has.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Been Well, it's just it's similar to ef TEA tapping,
but it's called padding. Well known is ef T tapping.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
So tapping is what everyone knows, different Meridians, different way
to do it.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
So like the thing of like when you're tapping different
parts of your body while saying you know certain things.
You've probably seen it on social media.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Yes, it is hard to explain. Yeah, I haven't done it. Sorry,
this thing everyone knows in my head.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
What are you doing.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
About I haven't done a podcast in a while. You
don't remember that.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
I just know what I'm saying, and so tell us
about padding, Like, so when would you do it?
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Just when I'm just regulated, when my emotions are high,
when I'm feeling angry, annoyed, frustrated, fearful. Yeah, anythink that
I want to regulate and I'm not like I'm just
I'm in fight or flight mode like survival. Yeah. Yeah,
So like if I'm angry and you go home you're
(11:59):
going to at that angle onto your partner, your wife,
your kids, like, and they're gonna copy it because that's
their job and that's okay. But if you did have
the choice to regulate that, and then once you've finished
regulating yourself, come out and be that happy dad and
(12:19):
give them the love and attention they need. Like, I
think that's beyond powerful.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
You know what's interesting with patting two is it will
make me see things in a completely different way.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Just low as your ego, yeah, likes.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
I can be in such a heightened emotional state and
be like so certain that like let's say, for what, Yeah,
it's just I.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Can I know, like I am right, Yeah, like so
certain your ego I'm right, or like Tim's wrong, and
like this is the reality victim. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
And then I'll do padding and I'll be like like,
oh my god, what he's.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Wrong with me? Yeah, like I I'm actually really happy.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Yeah, and I'll be like, oh, wow, I completely didn't
see his view of things, or like I didn't understand
how Cooper felt, And now I can see things in
such a different way, and then we'll be able to
have a conversation and it can be so civil and nice,
whereas before I was in such a heightened emotional state
that I was like, no, like this is the way
(13:25):
I'm right, this is how it should be. It like
completely opens up those like blinders in your like belief system.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Yeah, I don't have tunnel vision anymore. Fully step back
and see everything, make better decisions, be your best self.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Yeah, and not that from a place of scarcity or
fear or because we did like a lot of you know,
patting in the Abundance Academy around money triggers, and people
commented how they were able to completely transform their relationship
(14:03):
with money in their financial situation by literally just using padding.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
You're welcome. You get rid of those doubts, like when
you don't have doubt in yourself and the fear and scarcity,
and it's so clear, like it's just right in front
of you, and it's just so much easier. Yeah, it's
definitely life changing for me.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Sure I'm the exact same with padding. Life changing. Yeah,
And you can do it like on yourself, really simple.

is so I said like stillness meditation that kind of
like giving myself space. This is like the follow up.
It's guided meditations that help me see things from a
(16:00):
different lens. So let me explain it. So, like in
the Rise app, we do a lot of like guided
meditations where it empowers you to show up as your
best self. It's like or like calm down or like
giving you emotions to step into and I really love
(16:20):
using them. You know, we have very specific situations too,
like if you're about to go to a family gathering
or like a gathering where you feel anxious, and it's
just like guiding your thoughts and emotions to a specific
lens so you're able to move through that experience differently.
And I love using them for just seeing things a
(16:41):
different way, like again having that stillness and deciding like
which because like, if you think about it, there's multiple
Georgies happening all the time and all these different timelines.
Like I have multiple aspects of me, and so when
I do guided meditations, it's almost it's like picking which
(17:01):
me who I want to show up in that moment.
It's a very weird way of explaining it. It's what
makes sense in my head. Yeah, And so I love
guided it's almost like boring power, Like it's boring, Yeah,
how do I want to show up? Who do I
want to be? What I want to believe? Because our
beliefs shape everything. What we believe to be true about
(17:22):
ourselves and life is then what is like, you know, reflected.
So I love guided meditations to like get me on
the frequency or the vibe that I want to be on.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Yeah, So it kind of just shows you where you
actually want to go. Subconsciously, by listening to something yes,
that guides you to where you actually need to go,
and not having these other voices in your head and fears,
it just makes everything so much clearer.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Yeah, And I'll often like I'm listening listening to a
guided meditation every day, listening to yourself yeah oh you yeah,
or like I'll do and ones on YouTube and whatnot.
But instead of like listening to the radio or like
listening to a podcast, I'm very intentional of like, Okay,
(18:10):
well I'm going to work and I'm feeling a bit anxious.
I'm going to put this on so I can show
up to work not feeling anxious, not feeling rushed, and
I can get the most out of my day. Like
I use it very like intentional, and I'm using it
literally every single day really, Like this morning, I put
one on. We have a very specific one basically about
(18:32):
showing up even when you're tired. And I had insomnia
last night and I was just feeling really low energy,
and it's basically just to get you on like a
higher energy, and so like I put that on because
I'm like, even though I have low energy and I'm
feeling tired, I still want to show up to and
I still want to do my things because I know
I'm going to feel really good after and so that's
(18:53):
what I picked. Yeah, well look I'm here record on
podcasts day. Yeah. So, like I think guided menagedas are
like so underrated.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
You can actually do that with patting as well. Let
you know, you can fall put in the emotion you're
feeling is super tired, and you go through the process
and that at the end of it, you're not tired anymore.
I know. Wild, that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
But like how crazy that our emotions control us so
much where we think they're real and they're not actually real.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
But there's so many tools around us to actually help us.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
We just everyone like just the emotions.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
I just think I'm just going to listen to music
and be sad or be tired, go home and just
say I'm so tired.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
And winge and be a victim. Don't do it, honestly,
don't do it. Just down for us, Just get out
of your own shit. No, but it is. I let
it's like my pet hate is I cannot stand anyone
being a victim. Like it's something that like, yeah, I'm like.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Come on, come on, do something about it.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Like this day and age like it is different with
our parents, but this day and age like.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
At the time much different with their parents.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Okay, I know you hate when I say that. Like
with our iPhones, chatch etp with the touch of anything,
we have so much at our fingertips and it's so
much free content that you can utilize on YouTube or
you know, different platforms. I just cannot stand when people
like stay stuck in their own stuff.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
We know they need to do it, but wake up.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
I know you can do it. I have no spice
for it. Okay, what's another habit? So you've done movement
and you've done padding.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Next very important is me time. If I don't get
me time, I just I know my me time is
go and play golf so we have some fun and
I'm sad the next day because I've had too much fun.
(21:07):
But like, if I don't play golf, I can just
feel my mood on the weekends because weekends is family
time most of the time. Sometimes I play golf because
I do a comp but yeah, I just I love
to just be home.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
And so what's the benefits of me time though that.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
I get more space in my head, and I get
more space for the people around me, and I'm able
to give more than because if like we're all kind
of I reckon, we're all born to be givers. And
if you're so stuck in your energy and your bad.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Bad energy, I guess you become a martyr.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Yeah, and you're just you'll become the victim as well.
Like if you're not looking after yourself, you'll always say, oh,
go to go to work. I just I have to.
I'm just so miserable. But like if you know you've
got a me day and you get a free day
as well as your weekends, and I don't know, like whatever,
it's so different for everyone. For me, I just need
(22:10):
one day, one half a day a week, and I
get my weekends with my family, Like that's all I need.
Like I get recharged going to work by myself as well,
and that's different. But yeah, just for me personally, I
don't get one me day. Not good.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Yeah, well I think growing up that wasn't Ever it's
still as prioritized or like were doing.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Why are you going to golf? You should be working
and why are you working harder?
Speaker 1 (22:44):
I don't know what a dance out the other day.
He's like, look where Naked Harves is and you work
two hours a week. He's like, imagine if you worked
full time.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Yeah he said that to me as well.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Yeah, I know he didn't say that to me. I'm
saying that's what he's like.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Imagine if you did forty to fifty hours, Imagine how
big the company was. I'm like, well, actually it would
probably be smaller, dad, because I would be understanding. He's like, yeah,
I don't understand that.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
You learn to say that.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
I've also had a long journey with the me time
and absolutely, like I feel again, it's like the whole
if I fill up my own cup, I am such
a different wife, mother, creative person in the business. And
my whole thing is like I just love sitting in
the sun and listening to something or like I don't
(23:35):
want to be doing anything. I don't want to be
playing golf, I don't want to be like moving. I
love just like having time or eating food. Yeah, eating food,
love eating like a cye bolt on the beach with
a book ten out of ten else Yeah, but yeah, no,
I'm the exact same, and I feel like people don't
realize sometimes is, especially when you are building something, taking
(23:58):
that time out for yourself to re charge, you come
back and your capacity, your impact is tenfold.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Well, I like to look at when you're in an aeroplane
and they always say when it if it's going to crash,
you've got to get your mask and put it on
yourself and then help your kids. And it's such a
good metaphor to use to like, you can't look after
your kids if you're dead or if you're not breathing,
(24:27):
like you can't help them. So yeah, it's very drastic,
but no, it's the same thing in life because it
really is drastic, and a lot of people aren't getting
me time and they're not looking after themselves because they
want to provide, they want to make more money, they
want to do this for their kids and that sort
of thing. And really it's the kids don't want any money,
(24:51):
they want time, but some thing. But yeah, if you
have that space, that's everything else around you.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Like Tim is a stay at home dad, but Ivy
still goes to kindy two days a week so he
can have his time because he's such a better dad
and like such a better husband. If it is, actually
I don't.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Like people judge that as well.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Yeah, and that awesome anyone.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
But but then he has molded his life to suit
himself and I just think, good on you, Tim.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Yeah, like he's living the dream and that's intentional.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
So good of you for doing that because now you
can be a better dad. Yeah, because he went on
a trip to Japan by himself. I was like, that's awesome, Like,
good on you.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
It's so rogue. Yeah, just like broken our family.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Very yeah, in our family and they're like, what's Tim
doing going he has all the time off and oh my,
that's awesome to come back so refreshed. Yeah, he's going
to do it and he's going to be a better
dad now, Like that sounds good to me.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Well, also, it's like it's understanding biologically it's going on
a bit of a ramp. But like men crave freedom
and women crave support and being adored. Like, biologically, this
is what I believe. So it's like with Tim, for
him to be a great man, the head of our family,
(26:29):
he needs that freedom, whether it's a golf day or
you know, gone to Japan, go to but it then
creates him to feel like not a man. But do
you know what I mean, like it makes him be
like I'm good, so then I can support and be
the best for my family.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Yeah. Yeah, there's heaped parts of it, like yeah, freedom,
loved feeling that you're Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Anyway, next, so this isn't something that I've been doing lately,
and it's about detaching, so like anything happening in my life,
not taking it personally, not reacting, detaching from that whatever,
(27:16):
I guess, just not reacting and then being like, hang
on a second, do I want to believe this is
this true? Do I want to be this person? Do
I want to have this reality being like intentional with
co creating the next steps or what I want in
my life? And again, I think to get to this point,
(27:37):
you really need that previous regulation stillness to actually have
because I feel like most of us are just reacting
constantly to life, and so in certain moments, let's say,
you know, Tim does something and it makes me feel
like shit, but I'm like, in that moment, I'm like,
do I want to accept this as truth? Do I
(28:00):
want this to be my reality? Do I want to
believe in this or can I believe in something else?
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Yeah? You really got to do the work to get
to that point.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
And like really deciding.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
But it's cool because knowing that you can get to
that position in your life by just doing work on yourself,
it's great to know that you can get to that point.
It takes a lot of work expert level.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
But have you been doing that too, like almost just
being like like I was saying, like something will happen,
and my perception is let's say, like, oh, people don't
like me, I'm not loved. I know whatever the fears
or reaction would be that my inner child would feel.
And I can like catch that and be like that's
(28:50):
not true. That's an illusion, and I refuse to believe that,
and then I moved through my day like that didn't happen.
Like it's a bit tululu, yeah, almost like being proper crazy,
but it's helped me so much to be like I
don't have to constantly take on everything. I don't have
to like believe what's happening in my reality is what's
(29:14):
actually happening.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
What would you call this like detached the.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Broad Well, well I'm trying. I'm trying to make it
into like a habit, but yeah, like not taking things personally,
detaching and actually.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Deciding, just taking a step back and not being stuck
in the emotions and not reacting, like to say it
more on a higher level, so I can understand it.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
More so like detachment and deciding how I want that
moment to.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Be it and then you can get that easy.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
And that has that has been so helpful.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
That's very cool that you're in that part of your life.
My next one is eating healthy, healthy eating for me,
because it's to really understand food and that sort of thing.
Like I've listened to a lot of podcasts and obviously
(30:18):
the people around us has told them. They've told me
a lot of things. And if I just do a
whole whole foods diet, man, I feel good and it
doesn't have to be boring, Like you can look for
ways where it like fruit instead of sugar stuff, Like
(30:39):
fruit is so sweet. So I had the other day,
I had a little lolly and then I had had
a lot of grapes. The grapes were waist sweeter and
a trumped sugar like it's.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
Well, it's like whatever your accustomed to.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Yeah I didn't. That was grossly anyway.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
But you know, if you're constantly eating process crap and
then you have a piece of fruit, You're like, it's
got no taste to it.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Like if I just have meat, a couple veggies not much,
and then just fruit. I love peanut butter. I have
peanut butter. I just love a cyeballs and then nuts
and stuff. Like I'm full guns deep into diet mode.
It's just like second nature to me now, like I
really went into it and understood certain things that was
(31:32):
a lot to do. LEVI helped me with that, and
so it's just to listen to your body. Some things
I can't have but other people can. Like it's just
to listen if you.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
I think our body type, Like I know myself too,
I feel best high protein, high fat, low car and
it's like that's like what my body feels best on.
I think it is most people, though, Yeah, unless you're
like an athlete and you're like burning off cars, you
need that. I think also for me though, it's because
(32:04):
I have PCOS, so I had to go on that
whole like balancing my blood sugar levels and just anything
high carb is going to shoot your blood sugar out,
So it's like you have to always pair it with
like proteins. Fats die for me, it's fun important. Yeah,
I'm trying to think of there's anything else. I feel
like that kind of like really wraps things up. Honestly,
(32:25):
my biggest thing is like the meditation and like regulating
my emotions so I'm not reacting. And that was the
kind of my final point of like having detachment and
being like so intentional of do I want to continue
in this mood? Do I want to continue in this
frequency and then being able to decide yes or no?
Whea was I feel like so many of us are
(32:45):
like in survival in this like not understanding that we're
constantly in fear or anger or whatever. We're not able
to move through life. Probably yep.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
It is crazy that like we have these crazy emotions
and beliefs that we've installed. They control us so bad.
But like if you think about it's a lot to
do with the book that we've read, Like you can
shape your beliefs and you can change anything you ever want.
(33:19):
But then it goes against everything that we've been brought up,
everything we've been taught, and it's just But then if
I would say to you, but what about if that's true,
Imagine if you could live your life without fear or
live your life in riches without without Yeah, and people
(33:43):
I don't know, I would hope they would say, yeah,
I would love what you would want. But that's just
a belief that you could have. But it's crazy that
we just our emotions are so strong in us that
we straight away go back and can't do that.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Yeah, it can't be really cool.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
It's not even real. But like there's someone on this
planet that's doing that exact same thing right now.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Who has those beliefs, who has that life.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Yeah, So like beliefs huge come Yeah, like are just
so massive, and it's imagine if you could just change them.
Well you can, that's the thing. That's what I'm Yeah,
and it's crazy that no one knows that that can
actually happen and they don't want to believe it. And
(34:33):
because there's a lot of people around me that say
these things and I'm like, no, this could be it,
and they're like, no, it can't. You're like, what about
if it is true?
Speaker 1 (34:44):
Like that can't do it just because our society is
bread and shape to think worst case scenario, to think,
don't ever you know, dream big or have these high
goals because you'll be disappointed, you'll never make it likes farmed. Yeah, Well,
it's like we that's the way it has kind of been.
(35:06):
That's the way we've all grown up, and so it
is hard to break out of that. But then once
you do, you realize the truth and you're like, holy shit,
life's actually so easy.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
It can't It can be easy.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
It can be easy. You have to heal your shit
and you have to work through it, and you have
to take responsibility. Yep, one little step, all right, Coop,

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
