0:15
Speaker 1: Hello, beautiful beans, and welcome to this very very special episode.
0:19
Speaker 1: This is my four hundredth episode, four hundred episodes.
0:25
Speaker 2: That just blows my mind that we've done that many.
0:28
Speaker 1: And I say wee because it's like just been a
0:30
Speaker 1: collective of like, you know, the people that have you know, Shanaiah, Maddie, everyone,
0:36
Speaker 1: and then you guys who have like inputed in the episodes.
0:38
Speaker 2: Anyway, four hundred, it's fucking crazy.
0:41
Speaker 1: And we thought we'd just dedicate this episode to a
0:44
Speaker 1: few of your voice messages that you guys sent in,
0:47
Speaker 1: and I've got one email as well that I'm going
0:50
Speaker 1: to read out as well that people have sent in.
0:52
Speaker 1: But basically, I just want to say that little Rundown,
0:56
Speaker 1: of the last four years, this has been so much
0:59
Speaker 1: more than I ever expected it would be like having
1:01
Speaker 1: this podcast, having it be my main gig, my career,
1:06
Speaker 1: what I do has just been the best curve ball
1:10
Speaker 1: I could have ever expected for my life. Like I
1:13
Speaker 1: just as most of you guys know, I started this
1:16
Speaker 1: podcast while I was halfway through my Masters because I
1:20
Speaker 1: wanted to help myself consolidate information. I just wanted to
1:24
Speaker 1: share what I was learning. I thought i'd go into
1:26
Speaker 1: lecturing and I thought, oh, podcast is a really good thing.
1:28
Speaker 1: It's a passion project. On the side, it's like an
1:31
Speaker 1: outlet for me to talk about all these concepts that
1:33
Speaker 1: I'm learning about and studying.
1:36
Speaker 2: I would have never thought.
1:37
Speaker 1: I knew that you could make a career out of podcasting,
1:39
Speaker 1: but I thought that was just like the Joe Rogans
1:42
Speaker 1: and that's it. I would have never thought that it
1:46
Speaker 1: could turn into something that it's turned into, that we
1:48
Speaker 1: would build the community the way we have, and not
1:52
Speaker 1: only across Australia, but across the world, like huge audiences
1:56
Speaker 1: in the US, in the UK, in the Netherlands, Germany, Canada,
2:00
Speaker 1: New Zealand, just like Ireland. It's just been unbelievable and
2:06
Speaker 1: it really means the absolute world to me knowing that
2:10
Speaker 1: there's people all across the road and here at home
2:13
Speaker 1: that tune in and feel like they get, you know,
2:16
Speaker 1: this piece of advice or it feels like you know.
2:19
Speaker 1: So many of you guys have said you're like the
2:20
Speaker 1: sister I've never had, and it's literally we have built
2:22
Speaker 1: a community. We've done a live show, we're about to
2:25
Speaker 1: do another five live shows. I've met so many if
2:29
Speaker 1: you guys in person. I've had like mindset hacks, and
2:33
Speaker 1: then I've had you know, like extras for the podcast episode,
2:38
Speaker 1: and now I've got the app. There's just so many
2:39
Speaker 1: different things that we've done together and gone on this
2:41
Speaker 1: journey together. So many If you guys have bought the
2:43
Speaker 1: card game, it's been unbelievable. I even met this bean
2:47
Speaker 1: at the Formula one the other day and she was
2:50
Speaker 1: absolute fucking legend. She literally was like, Oh my god,
2:53
Speaker 1: I have to tell you this. I have to tell
2:54
Speaker 1: you this. I listened to your podcast on the way
2:57
Speaker 1: back home from a big night out so I don't
3:00
Speaker 1: get demons the next day. So she's literally like she's like,
3:03
Speaker 1: I'm coming down. I'm like, I've had a huge night
3:06
Speaker 1: and I will put your podcast on before I go
3:07
Speaker 1: to sleep, so that way the next morning I feel good.
3:09
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know what, I just love the many
3:12
Speaker 1: different purposes that my podcast serves and I adore you guys.
3:15
Speaker 1: So I'm going to stop rambling and I'm going to
3:17
Speaker 1: share some of your messages to me. So the first
3:21
Speaker 1: one's going to be the email, and then I've got
3:22
Speaker 1: four beautiful voice messages that you guys have sent through.
3:25
Speaker 1: So love you so much, Adore. You can't believe it's

3:48

5:07
Speaker 3: pretty much I was scared before that too. I was
5:09
Speaker 3: just scared of everything. And over the last five years

7:06
Speaker 4: a place of I suppose I could say someone who
7:10
Speaker 4: was very lost, didn't really understand myself, didn't really know
7:14
Speaker 4: why I felt the way that I felt about things
7:17
Speaker 4: and why I reacted the way that I did and
7:19
Speaker 4: why I even thought and did the things that I did.
7:22
Speaker 4: It wasn't until I came across you and your amazing
7:27
Speaker 4: creation that I've felt a validation that I've never felt before.

7:45
Speaker 4: your platform with all of your audience, We've been able
7:48

7:51
Speaker 4: close to us. That has an impact on those relationships.
7:54
Speaker 4: So I want to really thank you for being you
7:58

Speaker 5: Congratulations on making it to four hundred episodes. I found
9:38
Speaker 5: your podcast about three years ago when I was in

Speaker 1: helping people with their relationship with themselves, with their self
10:22
Speaker 1: love is honestly the best thing ever because you guys
10:27
Speaker 1: are the ones doing all the work. But if I
10:29
Speaker 1: can provide information in a way that maybe resonates with
10:32
Speaker 1: you in a way that hasn't before, that makes that
10:34
Speaker 1: is like that catalyst for you to create that change
10:36
Speaker 1: for yourself. It is honestly so fucking cool because when
10:40
Speaker 1: you have that self love, I feel like everything everything
10:44
Speaker 1: in your life turns around. So thank you so much
10:47
Speaker 1: for sharing just my fucking global beans are the best.
10:50
Speaker 2: Love you guys. Okay, I think this is the last one. Hi, Alexis.
10:53
Speaker 6: This is Sharon calling from the Sunshine costin Kollowin and
10:57
Speaker 6: I just wanted to congratulate you on almost four hundred
11:01
Speaker 6: podcast episodes. It's absolutely amazing. You should be super, super
11:05
Speaker 6: proud of yourself. I listen to most of your episode
11:08
Speaker 6: and I love them are I love your energy, you Ube.
11:11
Speaker 6: They're interesting, they're fun, but they're also so relatable and
11:14
Speaker 6: so educational too. So love what you're doing. Keep doing
11:18
Speaker 6: what you're doing, because it's awesome. My favorite podcast so
11:21
Speaker 6: far will be the Growth Versus Fixed Mindset, and I
11:26
Speaker 6: actually loved it even more because when my ten year
11:29
Speaker 6: old daughter came home from school that day after that
11:31
Speaker 6: I listened to it, she told me about something that
11:34
Speaker 6: happened at school and it was such a great opportunity
11:37
Speaker 6: for me to bring up the discussion about growth and
11:40
Speaker 6: fixed mindset. And I told her, oh, I listened to
11:43
Speaker 6: this podcast from Alexis today and she's like, oh, the
11:47
Speaker 6: cheek swears a lot, and I'm like, yeah, that's the
11:50
Speaker 6: one because I swear a lot too, So I always
11:52
Speaker 6: tell her how relatable it feels. And also she he
11:56
Speaker 6: is in the background when I'm in the studio often,
11:59
Speaker 6: but I said it was about growth and fixed mindset
12:02
Speaker 6: and she's like, oh, interesting. We actually discussed that at
12:05
Speaker 6: health during one of the school lesson of health. But
12:09
Speaker 6: she's like, I wasn't quite sure about the difference. Can
12:12
Speaker 6: we talk more into it? So we had this massive
12:15
Speaker 6: discussion about it, and I can just see the difference.
12:18
Speaker 6: We actually stop and look at each other now during
12:21
Speaker 6: the day. It's like song because we have a growth mindset.
12:25
Speaker 6: What we're gonna say now instead of saying this, we're
12:28
Speaker 6: gonna say that. So it's been having a huge impact
12:31
Speaker 6: on just the way to view things moving forward, even
12:35
Speaker 6: for her little ten year old brain. So thank you.
12:39
Speaker 6: I hope you go and have a big celebration because
12:43
Speaker 6: you deserve it. And I can't wait to meet you.
12:45
Speaker 6: Actually today I was meant to go to your event
12:48
Speaker 6: in Molulabah, but it's been canceled because of the cyclone.
12:53
Speaker 6: So I can't wait to meet you. On the twenty
12:55
Speaker 6: second and yes, congratulation again, I stopped blubbering a bay, Oh.
13:02
Speaker 1: My god, this is so exciting because that event. So
13:05
Speaker 1: I'm recording this on the Wednesday. This episode comes out
13:08
Speaker 1: on Friday, and then the event is on the Saturday,
13:11
Speaker 1: so I'll see you tomorrow.
13:12
Speaker 2: If you're listening to this, that's epic and.
13:17
Speaker 1: Yeah that I honestly love that you can talk to
13:22
Speaker 1: your kids about I mean, like, you know, obviously you're
13:24
Speaker 1: not going to play well maybe you would. I don't know,
13:26
Speaker 1: love that either way. But you know, there's a bit
13:28
Speaker 1: of swearing and there's complex terms and whatever. But I
13:30
Speaker 1: love so much that you can talk about these topics
13:34
Speaker 1: with your ten year old daughter. I don't think it's
13:35
Speaker 1: ever too young to start talking about mindset and how
13:40
Speaker 1: you approach, you know, thinking about things, and especially growth
13:43
Speaker 1: mindset and fixed mindset.
13:44
Speaker 2: That's sick that they were talking about that at her school. Also,
13:47
Speaker 2: like fucking love that so much, And I just love
13:51
Speaker 2: that she knows that I'm the one that swears just
13:52
Speaker 2: like you. I love that.
13:53
Speaker 1: That's honestly. Thank you so much for sharing. It just
13:57
Speaker 1: gives in like an insight into your lives and who
13:59
Speaker 1: you are. And I feel like, obviously you guys see
14:02
Speaker 1: so much about me and I share so much about me.
14:04
Speaker 1: But it's so nice to even just like hear your voices.
14:07

14:09
Speaker 1: it's like that way of connecting with you guys. So
14:13
Speaker 1: always send in your voice message, even if it's not
14:16
Speaker 1: a listener question.
14:17
Speaker 2: Please feel free to just send in a voice message whenever.
14:20
Speaker 1: You can email it through or you can send in

Speaker 1: thank you to everyone who you know wrote in.
14:37
Speaker 2: I'm just you know. I love what I do.
14:40
Speaker 1: And a big part of why I love what I
14:42
Speaker 1: do is because of my audience, because of my community,
14:45
Speaker 1: because of the feedback that I get from you. The
14:47
Speaker 1: questions that you guys, you know, send in, the trust
14:51
Speaker 1: that you put in me, the fact that you want
14:53
Speaker 1: to hear my advice. I just love it all, and
14:55
Speaker 1: it just makes this honestly like the best job in
14:59
Speaker 1: the world.
15:00
Speaker 2: At least for me, it is the best job in
15:02
Speaker 2: the world. So I love it.
15:04
Speaker 1: I love you guys, and we're gonna keep going for
15:07
Speaker 1: another at least four hundred episodes, if not four hundred
15:10
Speaker 1: thousand more.
15:11
Speaker 2: You guys will kill me if I did four hundred
15:12
Speaker 2: thousand episodes.
15:13
Speaker 1: But anyway, love you guys so much. Thank you for
15:16
Speaker 1: tuning in. This is a short, but sweet and exciting episode.
15:20
Speaker 1: Four hundred. Oh what a milestone. I would have never
15:25
Speaker 1: never imagined. I remember sitting on my bed in my
15:29
Speaker 1: I was living in this sharehouse in Surrey Hills and
15:31
Speaker 1: I was sitting on my bed and I didn't want
15:33
Speaker 1: to like disturb my housemates. And I had this ninety
15:35
Speaker 1: nine dollars mic like in my seven year old laptop
15:38
Speaker 1: that was dying that always had like that circle of
15:40
Speaker 1: that rainbow circle of death. And that's when I recorded
15:43
Speaker 1: my first ever episode. And I probably recorded it over
15:45
Speaker 1: like three hours, and I kept stopping and going downstairs
15:47
Speaker 1: to eat some like gummy bears and gummy worms, but
15:51
Speaker 1: I didn't want to bring the gummy worms up to
15:52
Speaker 1: my bedroom because then I just eat the entire packet
15:54
Speaker 1: and you hit rustling.
15:55
Speaker 2: So I was like, no, I won't do that. So
15:57
Speaker 2: it took me so long to record this EPP.
15:59
Speaker 1: And when I finished it, I remember the next day
16:02
Speaker 1: I was going to upload it and then I thought,
16:04
Speaker 1: I don't know if I like that.
16:07
Speaker 2: I think I'm going to record it again. And then I.
16:11
Speaker 1: Was like, you're a fuck with because the episode is
16:14
Speaker 1: about taking a leap of faith and ultimately, like part
16:16
Speaker 1: of that episode talked about starting before you're ready, and
16:19
Speaker 1: I am so happy that I didn't become over analytical
16:23
Speaker 1: or too critical. I'm so happy that that's the episode
16:26
Speaker 1: that I went with. That's what I uploaded. It was
16:28
Speaker 1: the realest.
16:30
Speaker 2: Form of what I wanted to say.
16:32
Speaker 1: It was me in every way, shape and form, and
16:35
Speaker 1: I'm just thrilled that I never second guessed myself because
16:37
Speaker 1: had I gone and re recorded it, I think I
16:39
Speaker 1: would have been even less happy, and I think I
16:41
Speaker 1: would have stalled in starting the podcast.
16:44
Speaker 2: So sometimes you've just got to do something.
16:46
Speaker 1: It might not be perfect, but you just kind of
16:48
Speaker 1: like think, you know what, it's as it's good.
16:51
Speaker 2: It's as good as it's going to get for now.
16:53

17:12
Speaker 1: I'm starting to grow an audience. And then that's when
17:14
Speaker 1: I started doing my weekly episodes. And then I think
