Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome to your Diary episode. Here's the thing. I'm a
bit of a nomad, so these episodes come to you
from wherever I'm living or traveling to at the time,
so I'll share with you what's going on in my world,
from book tours, animal encounters, delish meals, nature adventures, health
discoveries to swimming in Hidden Byron Bay Beaches. Come with
(00:25):
me as I share my adventures with you. Hello, Pod Diary,
Ala Los Angeles Pod Diary, but with a little twist
today because today, as this pod drops in Australia, it
is the Lionsgate Portal, and in America it's Lionsgate Portal. Tomorrow,
(00:46):
we're about seventeen hours behind Ossies, right, So what is
said Lionsgate Portal. Basically, it's the eighth of the eighth
and eight. It's all about manifes, festation, confidence, that real
specific like intuitive power and it's known as a really
(01:08):
really lucky day to manifest and apparently back in the
day eight eight was like a real celebrated day. So
I'm going to like nerd out for a little bit
on this with you. Of course I'm gonna do an
oracle card reading for you, but yeah, that is me
and then I'm straight after this I'm doing an audition
(01:29):
for a commercial, just a self tape. So it's been
this week has been good, lots of changes, like lots
of change and things going on in the cosmos that
my Virgo self is holding on really tight to like
control and not being able to go with the flow.
(01:49):
And my Sagittarius rising, which is also a firestone like Leo,
which is the sign room right now is like this
will all work out. Let go of control and be
free and wild. So I'm grappling the two right now.
But I say this because I'm teaching a for bide
yoga the next couple of days over this specific Lionsgate
(02:11):
portal time, so I just wanted to share a little
bit about it. So the eighth of August today, if
you're in Australia, it's the eighth of August twenty twenty five.
If you're in America, it's the seventh of August twenty
twenty five. But the portal opened on the fifth of August.
So the end this information is good for anyone, and
I believe it stays open till about the twelfth of August. Okay,
(02:34):
so in astrology. It's meant to be a really lucky
day for manifesting. It's called the Lionsgate Portal. What a
great name in numerology. It's a all about manifestation, abundance,
infinite power, happy days. So what I and I've just
like deep dived a fair bit of this because each
year I've manifested on Lionsgate Portal and I've always like
(02:55):
gone back over my notes for it as well, but
I haven't talked about it. So I thought, oh my goodness,
I'll quickly talk about it on the pod. So this
is what I do when I want to manifest, and
Boss and I are actually because I've got a day
off day, we are going to light a candle together
and do a little bit journaling and manifesting around this
(03:16):
portal energy after I record my audition later today. So
Lionsgate Portal manifesting time, this is how I do it.
I grab a piece of paper, I light a candle.
We're in Leo's season, so that the element of Leo
is fire. We're in a fire sign season. We also
have like five fing retrogrades going on right now. So
(03:38):
although it's a time for manifesting, it's also a time
to like be efing clear and to like be okay
with the uncomfortable side of manifesting, which people often don't
talk about. And it's the letting go and the shedding,
you know, the rebirth the phoenix from the ashes moment.
So grab yourself a piece of fad, light a candle
with intentions. So like box, My boss and I like
(04:01):
to box breathe together and then we'll set our intention
for that candle. We've I've gone to a special like
hippie witchy wi woo shop and bought a specific candle
for creativity. Any of my Los Angeles friends will know
that that's the shop I go to to buy them prezsies.
I love going that shop for all the fun stuff,
(04:22):
and I love buying candles to my friends. And they're
very specific manifesting candles. And then once you finish the candle,
you take it back in and they give you a
candle reading very cool. Okay, So what I do is
I grab some paper, we'll box breathe and then light
the candle with intention. And then I like to write
down all the stuff that I wish I could be
(04:44):
doing if nothing else mattered. So if financial stuff wasn't
a worry if you know, like if you've got kiddo's
and if you were like, okay, well, if I wasn't
spending ninety percent of my day looking after the kiddos,
this is what I'd be doing. Or you know, like
if you got a mortgage or you're in a your
day job isn't your passion, but it pays the bills
(05:05):
and keeps the lights on all that kind of stuff,
So it's like what would you do if nothing else mattered?
So for me, obviously acting is that real like hero
for me, and that like holy Grail. A few other things, well, podcasting,
tick love podcasting, so flipping much thank you for listening,
and writing probably comes in there as well. So it
(05:28):
doesn't matter if you've got a couple and then on
the other piece of paper you've got to write all
the shit that's in the way, self doubt, low self
esteem probably similar thing financial stuff, you know, having people
around you that maybe ain't super good friends for you,
or being a job that sucks your soul. I don't know,
(05:48):
like start listing the stuff that doesn't align with you
that's happening in your life. Maybe like there are things
that you're doing like theest self sabotage behavior, like I
was saying the boss. Fuck. We haven't gone to the
gym this week. I've been doing a lot of yogs,
but like and practicing yoga. But you know, we feel
really good when we lift weights. So just get really
(06:08):
real with yourself. And I do want to quote my
beautiful therapist Terry here and he says, Lola, it's time
to draw the fucket line in the sand. And I
think this is the energy of Lionscape Portal. It is
really about just drawing the fucket line in the sand.
And I saw this amazing creator online the other day
say it's all about catch and release. Catching that thing
(06:30):
you want to manifest, but you have to release. You
have to let go of all the other shit that's
in the way. So you have to have the courage,
you have to have the bravery, you be like no
thank you, no thank you, no thank you, and just
focus on the dream ahead one hundred percent. So that's
what I do. Set aside some time, grab a pen
(06:50):
and paper, light a candle, tap into that Leo energy
and then list of everything you want in your life,
and then a list of obstacles anything that's bringing you
down or in your way all of that, and then
you really want to be honest with yourself, so like
(07:12):
get specific, get clear, and just be honest, Like, Okay, realistically,
am I going to be able to like make these
changes you know in the next three months, what kind
of from now to three months? What coming from now
to six so I get really clear on that. The
other thing I want to say is shout out to
my beautiful client, Libby, who I'm coaching at the moment
(07:35):
around a book. And it made me realize how much
I love this stuff, like talking to people about like
getting really clear on their goals and getting really clear
on what their holy grail is and that like what
their passion is. And I think the cool thing about
(07:56):
this Lionsgate portal is you can do this for yourself
right now for three just set the side of time.
Set aside some time anywhere between now and the twelfth
of August. Now remember on the eleventh of August, because
we're in a mercury retrograde right now. On the eleventh
of August, Mercury goes direct. So that's gonna make communication
(08:16):
a lot easier. It's gonna make contracts feel easier. It's
gonna make you'll feel flow again. Everything will start to
roll again. So you know, you could make a list
of like your obstacles and where you want to be
and do all that today and then you could like
revisit it on the eleventh or twelfth because the portal
is still open and just be like, okay, cool. I
(08:38):
can feel that there's already changes, you know, all stuff
like it's bubbling away that I wrote down from four
days ago, just something to think about. It's going to
take a bit of courage. It's going to take a
bit of bravery. But you've totally got this one hundred
p You've got this. Okay, let's talk week. That was
the pod that I've got. I think I'm not the
(09:00):
pod the audition I've got. I just pulled it up, guys,
I think it's for a nun no joke. What's it for?
Let me read it? Yeah, none legit. Well, I can't
wear this Ti die Te shirt I was gonna wear.
So I've got a slate. This is they've sent me
like a brief. So it's I've got a slate casual
(09:24):
smiling and slate the city where you currently live and
you have to show your hands. I don't know if
you know that slating is literally like, hey, my name's
La La Berry. I am Australian. I live in Los Angeles.
I'm thirty nine years old. That's a slate. And in
this one you have to hold your hands next to
your face because they want to check that you I'm
(09:45):
guessing means the hands are in shot seen medium shot.
That's super normal. Ummm yeah, yeah, it's really cute. It's comedy. Okay, cool, Okay,
that is going to be such a fun script. So
I'm recording that straight after. So it's a commercial ad
(10:05):
and I have to be a nun, so I'm definitely
not gonna wear this tied eye T shirt. I'll probably
just wear a shirt like a white one on Matt's
white shirts. How cool. That's been my only acting audition
this week, I believe. But I am really excited. So
Monday's episode is the one I would keep banging on
(10:27):
about you. And it's with my pod manager, Claire, and
we talk about the doos and domes of podcasting, like
podcasting one O one. So if you've got some burning
desire to create a podcast, or you've got a pod
and you want to make it better. This is the
episode for you. So I've got to cut the real
hopefully tomorrow for it because it comes out your Monday,
(10:49):
my Sunday. And it's just a really great chat about
like the do's and donts of podcasting. And I drill
Claire as well, because she's got this. She's head of
all the digital marketing I believe where I'm with iHeartRadio
with iHeart, and she's just got a wealth of them.
She's a wealth of knowledge. And to be fair, for
(11:10):
this interview, and I hope Claire doesn't mind me saying this,
she really wanted to make it perfect. So we had
like a pre brainstorm interview the day before in Sydney
in person. That's right. I just got this crazy salmon
sperm DNA injected under my eyes. Have you heard of it?
Oh my goodness, I can't belit. I've admitting it to
you and Claire I met straight after and I literally
(11:31):
had all these tiny, like I reckon fifty bumps under
each eye. So funny. Love the results though. Anyway, So Claire,
we went to lunch and we literally planned this episode out,
brainstormed it, and then the next day we recorded it
with all the Sydney guests. Now the footage from Sydney,
the video footage is a bit skew if so, I
(11:52):
do think there's some nice shots to Claire though. So
you will get a little taste of it on reels
and all the other social stuff on Monday, Monday, and then,
oh my goodness, next week, I'm actually recording a pod
with an amazing director, film director, feature film director. His
name's Josh. He's unreal. Wee caught up last week and
(12:14):
he has got a feature film that's come out or
about to come out. He sent me the screener, so
boss and I watched it a couple of nights ago.
Loved it was so much fun. I get so nerdy
when actors or directors or writers let me see their screener.
So a screener is like they send you the movie
digitally ofs like on a like a private page, and
(12:38):
then you've got to put a code in and you
get to see it. But in a couple of weeks time,
we're actually going to screening of it too, like a
public experience. So we're so excited. So yeah that we're
recording next week. Cannot wait. So pumped and Josh is
just like so passionate and kind and yeah, so that's
gonna be fun. That will come out the week after.
(12:59):
I've got my mate editing that content for me. So yeah,
the pod is like my little babe. I'm really loving it.
Oh one other thing about Alay, Me and my friend
Meg are running a yoga retreat in Joshua Tree in
a couple of months and so we've just locked in
the venue where it's all starting to come together. It's
(13:21):
really really we had a big meeting about it this morning.
Actually stats really exciting obviously to the Aussie listeners. That's
a fair hike for you to get all the way
to Joshua Tree, but it'll be so much fun. It
is three nights, four days, and it's just gonna be
like yoga, nourishing food. The location itself is right on
the edge of Joshua Tree National Park, so we're going
(13:42):
to hike the national park. We really want to bring
in an external sound like soundbowl healing, but also with
cacao ceremony, you know, just like cool fun, giving back
to yourself kind of vibes, and if it goes really well,
we want to keep rolling them out, So yeah, I'm
really I'm really really looking forward to seeing that unfold.
(14:06):
So it's just been a week of kind of like
moving things and getting things in place and kind of that.
I feel like I'm doing my US tax at the moment,
so I feel like I'm in that mode, you know,
like like focusing on things and moving things around. And yeah,
and I've been taking my online clients so much fun.
I don't know if I tell I've told you this,
but I love taking it. I do online clients and
(14:29):
I essentially just guide you through if you've got an
idea for a book or a podcast, and we work
on it together. So if you're interested in that, just
email me at lollaberry dot com and I essentially become
a cheerleader and we get this idea and together I
just help you kind of like bring it to life
(14:49):
essentially until if it's a book, until it's ready to pitch,
so that means full manuscript and pitch deck, ready to go.
And if it's a pod, it's usually like executing the
like all the pre production so that you're ready to go.
But some people come to me with already existing pods
as well and just want to kind of like have
(15:09):
a tune up and because there's a lot of amazing
cool dues and don'ts in Podland, which are gonna learn
on Monday anyway. All right, So now I feel like
I've waffled a bit. I feel like I've given you
a nice old update and now we're going to pull
some oracle cards on Lionsgate Portal. No less, how good.
(15:33):
So I feel like, since it's the magic of eight eight,
I'm just gonna pull eight cards. What do you reckon?
That's good energy. So again I'm using the during virtue
Mermaid Dolphin cards. Can't get them anymore. I've had these
for literally yonks. Okay, so there's one. Oh I'm not
(15:56):
I'm nearly pulled with my right hand. You're allowed to
if you're right handed. You have to pull with your two, three, four, five, six,
Oh yeah seven? That one eight? Cool? All right? So
(16:20):
pulled eight cards. So here's the delio. Just take what
resonates with you, ignore what doesn't. Like I don't, and
I always look at what's on the top of the deck.
So top of the deck, healing heart, you're a powerful healer.
Keep up the great work. Bottom of the decks stay
optimistic your dreams are coming true. Don't quit right before
the miracle occurs. Okay, I'm pulling the eight cards now.
(16:42):
Like I said, take what resonates with you, leave what doesn't.
Card one morning affirmations. Say positive affirmations each morning to
open up the gates of manifestation. Blessed change. A major
life change brings you great blessings. Love that self forgiveness,
let go of old guilt, and remember that you are
(17:04):
God's perfect child. You're being helped. I love this card.
It's so beautiful. I can't describe to you how cool
it is. It's this little tiny mermaid and she's chilling
with a dolphin and a duck, and then there's like
a bigger dolphin under the water. Oh so when it's
like in mangroves. Anyway, you're being helped. Heaven is working
(17:25):
behind the scenes to help you, even if you don't
see results yet. So you need to remember that when
you're doing your manifesting, you know, have the courage, pay
attention notice repetitious signs in your inner guidance, as they
can yield valuable information. Contemplation time, spend time alone meditating
upon what you truly desire, let yourself receive, allow others
(17:49):
to give you loving care. Receive without guilt or apologies.
Oh final card, divine magic extra magic energy surrounds your
situation right now. Expect miracles. There you go. Well, that's
got to feel like good lions Gate energy, does it not?
(18:09):
We have it? Friends, Go out there, turn that little
like flicker of flame in your heart and turn it
into a wildfire like fan it. So that means go
out chase your dreams, but get clear on your goals,
like spend the time, go buy Butcher's paper, go just
go and manifest like literally, get really clear on exactly
(18:31):
what you want. Don't be afraid of being like, this
is what I want, this is what I'm doing, this
is where I'm going. You know what I mean? All right?
So that's me hooru, Big love, Happy Lionskate portal
