Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome to your Diary episode. Here's the thing.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
I'm a bit of a nomad, so these episodes come
to 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, their friends,
and welcome to the Los Angeles Pod Diary. I've got
fair bit to catch you up on, and of course,
as always, well not as always, but a bit of
a theme is I do a little oracle card reading,
so I've got my deck of oracle cards here as well.

(00:46):
Holy Molly, I believe we're officially out of Virgo season
and into Libra season.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
How good.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
And we're through all the eclipses of twenty twenty five,
so that is.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
Eclipses are often a.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
Big of like letting go and moving on and uncomfortable
often letting go. So through tick done. So today I'm
going to chat to you about a few things that
are really exciting. I have just signed on with true
Niagen as an influencer Ambassador's that's really fun. I've been
filming content for them the last couple of days, so

(01:21):
I'll tell you a bit about that. Also, my dear
friend David the Medium has a live show in Australia.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
And New Zealand.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
I'm going to mention that. And I was featured on
my buddy Emma's Substacks.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
I'm going to mention that. But also let's do what we.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
Always do on a Friday episode, which is talk about
the week that was. So since we last spoke, I
interviewed an incredible photographer on the Potteroony Pip.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
She's unreal.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
We actually went to this cool pod space that I'd
never been to before in Venice. It's called the Lighthouse,
and we recorded that. This episode's going to come out
on Monday, so it's super fresh. She has shot Tata,
Taylor and Travis. She's shot Taylor, I think on multiple occasions.
Stephen Colbert, Prince, William, Jason Bateman like humongous, and she's

(02:11):
an Aussie just crushing it out here in America. On
top of all that, she's also a director and screenwriter.
So just a very inspiring, down to earth, grounded Aussie.
Go get up, I think you're gonna love that app
So this is for anyone that has just got like
an each of her passion to you know, to kind
of follow or be inspired.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
This is the for you becuse that was really nice.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
After I recorded with Pip, I met another friend of mine, Ray,
and we had a beautiful lunch in Santa Monica at
this place called Alfalfa. I think it's only in there
might be more than one location. The branding's really cool.
It's like pink like it's a big pink sign, and
all the salads are great. I got this I think

(02:57):
it was called the Laguna Salad, named after lou Laguna Beach,
and it was really good. It was like really like fresh,
and that one was all plant based. And if you're
ever in that kind of like Santa Monica Venice area,
it's a really affordable salad place. It's like fourteen fifteen
bucks for a salad, really yummy, really fresh, all made

(03:18):
fresh on the spot.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
So highly highly recommend that. And of course I lovely the.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
Catch with my butto, and then we went to Blue
Bottle and got matches as well, and so that was
really great too. I forget that, like Americans say, Marcher
or as I say, Matcher, Okay, I had an Aussie
Maye in town. Alice, I feel like you listened to
the pod. Alice, you may or may not. Anyway, of course,
I had to take her to Air one and get

(03:44):
her the Hailey be Best Strawberry Blaze smoothie.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
It did not disappoint. Alice was wrapped.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
I'm on this like since turning forty, which for anyone
that has missed the last couple of weeks of the Pod,
I turned forty on the fourteenth of septemb bus like
a week and a half ago, and I have kind
of been on a bit health kick ever since. Not crazy,
but I think your birthday, as my friend Holly said,
birthday is kind of like a reset. It's kind of

(04:09):
like a new year, right, and so you kind of
use it as like a full like, Okay, what am
I liking?

Speaker 1 (04:15):
What am I not liking? You know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (04:16):
Like it's kind of you look at your values, you
look at what's working, what's not working, all that kind
of thing. So I've kind of been really raining in
eating really really healthy. That said, before that happened. Before
that happened, I did get a lot of the pumpkin
spice stuff from tread to Joe's and road test them
for you first of all of the four things. If

(04:38):
anyone's playing long on Insta, it's all on Instro as well.
I got a pumpkin pie sheetcake which has got like
the cream cheese frosting. I got pumpkin pumpkin spice gluten
free struice or muffins. I tried the Tahini mo cheese,
which aren't at all full season, but they're packagingly spooky,

(04:59):
remind me of the wind Day branding, so I was like, okay,
I'm going to get that. And then I tried the
maple ice cream so the sesame se Tarhini mocheese could
take them a leave them not great, not like not wowsers,
like the strawberry mo cheese off the chain and the
maple so I think it was salted maple ice cream

(05:21):
was okay, nothing to write home about. But those gluten
free struiceal muffins like so pumpkiny, so spicy and like
it doesn't taste like gluten free, like it tastes like cakes,
so good, and then the sheet cake amazing, but because
I don't usually gluten obviously, like I felt a bit
sick after that, but really good.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
So there you go.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
There's your road test of that. I also took Yog's
in Hollywood this week, which is really nice. Matt and
I both went to a wedding. It was incredible. It
was here in Los Angeles. It was a three day wedding,
so we had the welcome the welcome drink on a Thursday.
That was this incredible rooftop views of La at a

(06:05):
great hotel called the Addition. I don't know how extensive
it is to state the edition, but it looked beautiful,
like the space, the hotel, even the lobby looked really great,
and obviously the rooftop pool was where the event was.
But definitely pop the Audition on your list if you're
looking for somewhere like in West Hollywood to stay in LA,
I feel like it'd be a goodie. The wedding itself

(06:27):
was at the Beverly Hills Hotel, so iconic, so beautiful.
Matt and I had never actually been to the Beverly
Hills Hotel before, so that was a hoot. And right
after the ceremony, as we were walking into like the
dinnery reception bit everyone was handed Martini's. There was a
cabar station was so beautiful and special, and our mates

(06:51):
looked gorgeous and so happy and it was really fun.
There a lot of people there. I think it was
about one hundred ish kind of people. Yeah, really beautiful.
And then there was the recovery party in the Like
Mansion the Hollywood Hills as well. It was really really beautiful, so.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
Fun to go.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
I've never been to a wedding in America for fun fact,
it was Ozzie is getting married in America, so it
was amazing. It was like everything was thought out, like
the branding, like the tote bags we got given Beverly
Hills Hotel slippers.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
It was so gorgeous and so fun.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
I had to like, I got stressed in the lead up,
like figuring my outfits out. Matt is so much more
of a chill bean than me, and so I wore
some fun outfits. It was just like, yeah, a lot
of fun, really lovely way to catch up with so
many like Aussie mates all in one spot. So I
highly recommend going to weddings if you feel like you're
just like, oh my god, I haven't seen that person ages.
It was such a nice way to see so many

(07:50):
people and obviously like all, you know, have a lot
of fun and celebrate love and all those good things.
So yeah, beautiful, and yes, the Beverly Hills Hotel is
as beautiful as everyone says. We actually asked the staff
like their favorite famous people encounters, and they said Robin
Williams and The Rock were their two favorites. And they

(08:13):
said that there was a time where Prince lived there
for one year, and obviously Marilyn Monroez stayed.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
In those bungalows.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
Like it's such an iconic kind of spot in Los
Angeles especially, and it's just so beautiful and like old
Hollywood vibes. But yeah, apparently Prince lived there for a
year and would like come up to and just like
jam on his guitar, like come up to the where
we were. We're in an event room. Anyway, it was gorgeous, beautiful,

(08:42):
no notes. Loved it, and the bride looked so so
stunning And I don't know when the pickies are coming up.
I can't wait. I can't wait to see it all
like come together, you know. But it was ten out
of ten. Loved it, big big congrats, tests and sewn. Okay,
what did I do next?

Speaker 1 (09:02):
Well?

Speaker 2 (09:03):
That was my notes for the week. That was my
notes for the week. I've taken some meetings, which in
La is like how business is really done here. It's
all networking, it's all meetings.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
It's a lot of.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
Like you know, you want to rock up ready and
on your a games that kind of that kind of vibes.
I've had a couple of big meetings, which is really exciting.
So just cross your fingers and toes for me and
send all the lucky vibes. It's so funny as well,
like having been in LA for so long now or
what feels like so long, you also get really used

(09:37):
because obviously the acting world is that of a fair
bit or rejection. You get so used to like letting
go a meeting after it happens, it's a bit like
an audition, like you prepare for it, you put your
best foot forward, and then you're just like okay and
just let it go. But I found it's like hard
with nerves. Do you know what I did on the
way to this meeting? I locked my car keys in
the car. That's how like I was a nervous anyway,

(10:00):
I was so early.

Speaker 1 (10:01):
I was early.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
I even filmed some stuff I had to film, for instance,
up like I was crossing my t's and dotting my eyes.
Friends and I still locked the keys in the car
out the front of the meeting.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
Low.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
Anyway, we got the math. It got opened, so it's fine.
I was so lucky. The person that we read in
the car from was like, there's a code. I don't worry,
but yeah, I did do that. I gotta be honest. Okay,
So I want to talk to you about Trite Nigroen. Basically,
I used to be a nutrient well I guess I
am a nutritionist, but I'm so pumped to be teaming

(10:34):
up with these guys. Basically, their product is called NR
which is a precursor to NAD, and it's really really
big in the energy space, in the anti aging space,
and it's in America. Like it's a huge kind of
like world, the NAD world, Like you can get this

(10:57):
this itself true. Nigroen is a precursor and a booster,
so it supports cellular repair, promotes healthy aging, supports brain health,
even involved in involved in our circadian rhythm.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
So that's what helps us sleep at night.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
Anyway, I have teamed up with them, which means I
have a really awesome code that will get you twenty
percent off. So you just go to their website and
you use the code Loller twenty for our ripper discount,
and I'll put it all.

Speaker 1 (11:22):
It's going to be.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
All over socials and all that kind of thing. But
the reason why I love it is like I've just
turned forty, and so anything from skin health to sleep
health to just like longevity and energy, I'm like across.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
I'm reading about I want to know about.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
And I think, like I said at the start, like
since turning forty, like I want to understand healthy aging.
I want to understand what my body needs. And NAD
declines as we age, so a booster like NR, which
is found in trie Nigen, really helps to increase NAD levels.

(11:58):
So I'm humped be working with them. It's literally the
number one NAD supplement in the US, and he is
backed by over thirty five clinical trials and over five
hundred peer reviewed studies. So pumped their legends. It's been
so much fun to work with them and to create

(12:19):
content with them here in America too, because I still
do a lot of influencing stuff back in Australia, but
it's so nice when I get to do American stuff too.
The next thing I want to talked about, which I
mentioned at the top of this, is David the Medium.
He's obviously a friend of the pod. He's been on
mazillion times and he's doing this live to us, so
that I think the Melbourne show is sold out. Then

(12:40):
he's got like brizzy Gold Coast Perth duh, and like
he literally is going everywhere you name it. And then
at the very end, so it kicks off I believe
on October the fourth, and then it literally ends in Auckland,
New Zealand in early December.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
So like he's going to be NonStop now for the
next two months.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
Just having had him literally read for me on the pod,
I'm telling you, like you're gonna love it. He's so
and he's so honest and fun and quirky and so funny.
Like we send each other voice notes and every time
we just crack each other up. Also, just so you
know what he's done on this pot is I've taken
him around. This is not a word of a lie

(13:22):
to literal murder locations like We've been to the Black
Dahlia House, We've been to the Cecil Hotel, we've been
to one of the two of the Charlie Charles Manson locations,
and he every time. So the premise is I take
him around and I don't tell him anything. And so
I took him. I remember the first time we did
this together. I took him to where Sharon Tate had

(13:43):
her last meal. And you would know she was famously
murdered by the Charles Manson clan, and she was pregnant
and there were all these stab whims in her stomach
and she died really sadly. Obviously, not to say that
when someone does not say anyway, I'm over talking. But
my point is as soon as we pull up to
l Coyote, which is where she had her last meal,

(14:04):
David was literally like, oh, I've got like the worst
cramps in my stomach. And I'm like really, and he's like, yes,
something to do with stomach. And I was like, ah, yeah,
she was stabbed like mazillion times in her stomach. So
he is very fascinating and very open, Like we've got questions,
He'll answer them on the spot. Like every time I
ask him he's like straight away and I'll like he's

(14:26):
read for me multiple times on the pod as well,
like my Grandpa's come through, my NaN's come through, like
he is unreal banana appeal. The other one is my
friend Emma's got this substack account. I think I have
it saved here anyway, she asked me to write a
letter to her substack ease. Is that what they're called

(14:50):
substack ease, because I also have a substack. My substack
is just.

Speaker 1 (14:53):
Here my Lalla Berry, just like Instagram.

Speaker 2 (14:55):
But she got me to write a guest letter. And
her subst is called Attempts at Optimism by Emma Vivian,
and she just she's a writer. She's got this incredible
story and she shares like the truth about grief and
about healing and about writing. She's really cool and she's
a good friend of mine. We walk her pups together

(15:17):
all the time. Anyway, So she got me to do
a letter, and I talked about that feeling of jumping
off the cliff when you don't have a safety net,
like backup plan. That's what that whole essay is about.
So yeah, go check that out. It's on my substack,
it's on her substack. Her substack again is called attempts

(15:37):
at optimism. Okay, okay, fan bam. I feel like it
might be Oracle card time here. We've hit fifteen minutes.
I'm yabbering away today, aren't I just non stop? Non stop?
I am feeling good, like in my little health era,
but I'm also feeling Matt things I've got adiature. He
always tells me how to do. But I'm also feeling

(16:00):
like I never get enough done in a day. You
know that feeling where you're just constantly chasing your tail feather.
So I feel right now, But anyway, that's just for me.
I've got a real going live for the second after this,
and I've got to edit another real 'stuye by inter day,
so we are just you know, fine. So you know
the way I do this, I do past present, future.

(16:24):
When I pull the deck of cards, I'm using is
Mermaid and dolphins. Top of the deck except Heaven's help.
You've prayed for help, so get out of the way
and let Heaven help you. That's cool, And then the
bottom of the deck is set your sites higher, increase
your standards, and expect more for yourself. Don't settle past

(16:44):
play time. The dolphins know the importance of playing as
joy creates miracles and manifestation. I love that. And then
you've got for the present. It's time to let go
of the old, worn out so that the new can
come in. I love that, I said Matt, like, I've
had a few really exciting meetings this week, but I
overthink them after I'm like, oh, was I true?

Speaker 1 (17:05):
Calm? Was I true?

Speaker 2 (17:06):
Chill? Because Americans are quite like direct and forward and
Australians are a little bit more like we're very laid back,
and you really notice that in an American meeting, and
Matt's like, no, you have to be yourself, like that
is so important, like as an artist, but also someone's
gonna want to work with you, like you need to

(17:26):
be you anyway.

Speaker 1 (17:28):
So I think for me that time to move on
is letting go.

Speaker 2 (17:30):
Of that self doubt. Very big thing that I said
to Matt when I turned forty. I was like, I
just want to let go of that ruminating self doubt.
And then this next pub it's really cool is morning affirmation.
Say positive affirmations each morning to open up the gates
of manifestation. And I love that also because I really,

(17:52):
I really if I do yoga in the morning or
some form of movement, it just changes my whole day.
And so I think that's going to be something I'm
going to be really committed to this next little week
or so. I just feel like I've been like cleaning
up my diet aside from the trader Joe's testing that
he's beforehand, and I'm now starting to like we always

(18:15):
go to the gym. Matt and I have gimy our building.
We're very lucky, so we always go to the gym.
But like I noticed, I do yoga, it's like something
else shifts me, you know what I mean. All Right,
all right, fam bam. That is me done and dusted
with my weekly check in with you your la actor diary.
And next week, remember on the app we have the

(18:36):
beautiful photographer Pip who's just been texting me. As we've
been chit chatting, I can see your name's been flashing
up on my phone and laptop. And then after that,
the week after that, we have got Remember I told
joined to do this actor and the movie was in
bargo episode was embargoed because the movie wasn't out yet.

Speaker 1 (18:54):
So the movie is will.

Speaker 2 (18:56):
Be out, So we've got You've got Piped the photographer
this week. You already got Linda the executive producer of
The Queen's Jewels. Incredible, incredible person. That episode's live. If
you haven't listened to it, go back and listen to it.
Then you've got Hip the Photographer on Monday. Then you've
got this beautiful actress the week after that. And now
I have just just booked. I'm so pumped. It's a

(19:18):
friend of mine. But he is the costume designer on
Austin Butler's last film, Court Stealing, which Matt and I loved.
And the other cool thing that he's done is the Fault.
He's actually on loads of stuff. But the fallout is
really cool with what Woggans? Is that how I say, Isa,
what Goggins? He's so funny and cool. Oh. Ps, just

(19:40):
before I say come with him Rattley on today, aren't I?
Just before I say good bye? Matt and I are
watching Severance. Matt's already watch it. We're on the final
episode of season two. Holy Molly, what a ride. That
show is incredible, incredible. I go through phases of who
my favorite characters are because they've all got such interesting characters. Anyway,

(20:03):
if you haven't seen Severance, it's on Apple TV. Do
yourself a favor. Okay, big, big love, I'll speak to
you soon. Thank you for letting me voice all of
this with you, and I'll chat to you next week. Pumped,
can't wait, can't wait,
