SPEAKER_02: Would you believe that after almost four years of spiritual as fuck, this is officially our last episode together.
0:14
SPEAKER_00: Hey, I'm Liz Bolfey.
0:16
SPEAKER_00: And I'm Diane Druskell.
0:18
SPEAKER_00: And this is Spiritual as Fuck.
0:20
SPEAKER_00: Where spirituality meets the real world.
0:34
SPEAKER_02: And here we are.
0:36
SPEAKER_02: Would you believe that after almost four years of spiritual as fuck, this is officially our last episode together?
0:49
SPEAKER_02: Diane, this is pretty crazy, right?
0:53
SPEAKER_00: Oh my god, I can't believe you're actually saying those words.
0:57
SPEAKER_00: It's like fuck.
0:59
SPEAKER_02: So what started as a phone call four years ago when I jumped on to a girl I didn't even really know, and I've followed an intuitive hit at Asta to be a co-host on this idea for a show.
1:11
SPEAKER_02: Can you believe that four years later, I'm the one receiving the phone call to say it's the end?
1:18
SPEAKER_02: Oh my goodness.
1:19
SPEAKER_02: Diane, we were just having a joke before because I know that you'd probably normally be handing your resignation in or going to find the HR office.
1:30
SPEAKER_01: Complaining about working conditions.
1:34
SPEAKER_01: I mean, I don't blame you because working with me is pretty hard.
1:39
SPEAKER_01: Dear Liz.
1:41
SPEAKER_01: Yes.
1:42
SPEAKER_00: Oh my suit.
1:44
SPEAKER_00: Oh my god.
1:45
SPEAKER_00: This is this is gonna be a hard one to get through without crying.
1:49
SPEAKER_00: Oh, wow.
1:50
SPEAKER_02: And we will fill you in, don't worry.
1:52
SPEAKER_02: Um, but we thought that in true Liz and Diane style, we should go out the way that we're coming in as a pair.
2:00
SPEAKER_02: And that is by exploring all of the joys of these last four years.
2:05
SPEAKER_02: Because boy, has it been a journey.
2:07
SPEAKER_02: So I thought, Diane, today I'm gonna just gonna take the lead and I'm gonna take you through some questions.
2:13
SPEAKER_02: We're gonna dig deep.
2:14
SPEAKER_02: We're gonna go down memory lane with our listeners, and uh yeah, let's just uh remember, reminisce and uh just see how we go, Charlie.
2:26
SPEAKER_02: Sounds perfect to me, absolutely perfect.
2:29
SPEAKER_02: Amazing.
2:30
SPEAKER_02: And for anyone listening, if you haven't already just gone to click follow wherever you're listening, please do because without you, we can't attract the most amazing guests and continue to have these conversations.
2:42
SPEAKER_02: Even though Diane's not here, I'm gonna need more friends.
2:45
SPEAKER_02: So come along for the ride.
2:50
SPEAKER_02: Anyway, back to you, Diane.
2:52
SPEAKER_02: Now, I think the the question that we should start with here is do you remember our very first podcast conversation?
3:02
SPEAKER_00: As in before we did the interview.
3:05
SPEAKER_00: Yes.
3:06
unknown: Yeah.
3:06
SPEAKER_02: Tell me about that from your from your point of view.
3:10
SPEAKER_00: It's so funny looking back now because it seems like a lifetime ago.
3:14
SPEAKER_00: It really, it really does.
3:16
SPEAKER_00: Like for me, the context in my life at that point in time was my whole life was falling apart.
3:22
SPEAKER_00: It was turned upside down.
3:23
SPEAKER_00: I'd been, you know, my marriage was falling apart, my either spiritual awakening.
3:30
SPEAKER_00: Um, yeah, I was heading for another breakdown, was literally what I what I felt was on the cards.
3:36
SPEAKER_00: And yeah, I just didn't know what to do with all this energy that was coursing through my my body.
3:43
SPEAKER_00: I seemed to gravitate towards Instagram, and lo and behold, on Instagram I found Liz.
3:51
SPEAKER_00: Look at you.
3:52
SPEAKER_00: The masked medium.
3:54
SPEAKER_00: I will never forget it.
3:55
SPEAKER_00: I swear, Liz, I will never.
3:57
SPEAKER_00: It was one of those kind of, you know, moments that just light you up.
4:00
SPEAKER_00: And I was like, oh fuck, that's Liz.
4:03
SPEAKER_00: That's Liz, that's Liz.
4:04
SPEAKER_00: And I messaged you.
4:05
SPEAKER_00: You knew who it was, the two of us.
4:07
SPEAKER_00: I just remember us having this flurry of an exchange, almost like we knew that something big had happened in the connection, and we needed to jump on the phone as soon as possible.
4:18
SPEAKER_00: And then we I just remember us getting on a Zoom call.
4:22
SPEAKER_00: We literally was like variable download to each other completely, and we haven't stopped since.
4:29
SPEAKER_00: But but that's what it was.
4:30
SPEAKER_00: It was just like, oh my god, all the stuff that was going on for me, all the stuff that was going on for you, and it all just blurted out.
4:37
SPEAKER_00: And then that seemed to leave the bedrock because I think it was probably maybe two weeks later, is what I'm thinking, that you got back to me then with this idea to, you know, please don't say yes right away.
4:50
SPEAKER_00: So funny.
4:51
SPEAKER_00: Because back then I would have known nothing about human design or my human design, and I'm not sure.
4:55
SPEAKER_00: It's almost like I knew you.
4:56
SPEAKER_00: What about it?
5:00
SPEAKER_00: You had a psychic idea.
5:02
SPEAKER_00: He's asking me about, oh, do you want to do a spiritual podcast?
5:06
SPEAKER_00: And it was like, I was screaming, hell yes, inside.
5:09
SPEAKER_00: And it was like, but at the same time, it's like I just kept thinking about my poor mommy having to go into the shop, you know, to buy bread and milk.
5:14
SPEAKER_00: And somebody said, God almighty, is she having a midlife crisis yourself on a spiritual podcast?
5:22
SPEAKER_00: But we didn't.
5:23
SPEAKER_00: It was like it was a no-brainer, it was an absolute no-brainer, and to think where it has led is it's just crazy.
5:32
SPEAKER_02: Like, I know, right?
5:33
SPEAKER_02: I think it's interesting, isn't it?
5:35
SPEAKER_02: Because I think people listening today might understand when you have that instant connection with someone, like there's that chemistry there, the feeling of you feel like you've known them before, or you already know them very fast after speaking to them just for a few minutes.
5:49
SPEAKER_02: And and I love that because I think that's a definite soul connection.
5:53
SPEAKER_02: When you feel that that buzz and your energy feels really high after speaking to someone, even if you've not known them before, or yeah, it's just such a great sign that something's good, you know, something good is gonna happen.
6:08
SPEAKER_00: And it is, and it was almost like a shared sense of purpose, even though I didn't even know what the purpose was at that point in time.
6:14
SPEAKER_00: But there was there was like a reason for us connecting, and there's no doubt about it.
6:20
SPEAKER_00: Because looking back now, thinking, okay, it's not just a podcast, it's like an online community, it is uh you know, online events.
6:29
SPEAKER_00: We went on a bloody retreat to Bali.
6:31
SPEAKER_00: It's like, who are these people?
6:33
SPEAKER_02: I know it's just crazy, and the people that we've interviewed along the way, oh yeah, and uh, even back in the very start, I don't know if you agree with this, but I had a feeling that this would become something.
6:45
SPEAKER_02: Did you?
6:48
SPEAKER_00: No.
6:51
SPEAKER_00: It's like I just didn't like I had no concept of what it could end up in.
6:58
SPEAKER_00: And this is it's funny, this is probably reflective of my life as well.
7:02
SPEAKER_00: It's like I need to do things for me first and foremost.
7:05
SPEAKER_00: So for me, doing the podcast, us doing the podcast together was about my hunger for knowledge, my search for answers, my need to have a buddy to be on the path along with me, and that kind of helper mode where okay, who else can we help along the way?
7:22
SPEAKER_00: But I never at any point thought it would get like 90 plus countries, like we've lost count.
7:30
SPEAKER_00: Um, yeah, I had no concept whatsoever that it would be this big.
7:34
SPEAKER_02: And I think that's really uh reflective of our relationship as well.
7:38
SPEAKER_02: Because I always feel like I'll come up with an idea and I already think that it's taking over the world.
7:43
SPEAKER_02: And you can give along for the ride.
7:47
SPEAKER_01: And listeners, exactly.
7:49
SPEAKER_00: And for our listeners, just so you know, it's like if the podcast was left up to me, it would never have happened because Liz is the one who has the you know balls of steel and will go out and ask anybody for anything.
8:01
SPEAKER_00: I remember us going to the Mind Body Spirit Festival in Melbourne, and I saw this sign.
8:08
SPEAKER_00: It was like, no, no posters going up anywhere, and there was Liz with her blue tag putting posters up everywhere, and I'm like, we shouldn't be doing this, we should you initially have your heart palpitations walking around.
8:23
SPEAKER_00: And you're totally brazen, but it's like that's why we've had the caliber of guests that we've had on the show, because you've been the one who has, you know, in truth, you're the visionary and the kind of brand custodian, if that's the right way to put it.
8:37
SPEAKER_00: It's like the spiritual as fuck is it's both of us together, but at the same time, you're the person who just has always had the the vision.
8:47
SPEAKER_00: So it's almost like you're the visionary and I'm the operational.
8:51
SPEAKER_00: You know, I'll do whatever needs to be done.
8:54
SPEAKER_00: The two of us pull in together then, and we do like we work so well together.
9:00
SPEAKER_00: Like it has really shown me what it is to work this well with someone who just gets you, and that you your strengths kind of, you know, complement each other in such a great way.
9:12
SPEAKER_02: Oh, absolutely.
9:13
SPEAKER_02: And this was apparent from really early on.
9:15
SPEAKER_02: I remember like a we met for the very first time, and our goal was let's record three interviews.
9:22
SPEAKER_02: Um we had a wonderful producer, Maritza Brown, at the time, and she had said record three, and then you're gonna release them really, really quickly because then it you know gets people interested in what you're doing.
9:33
SPEAKER_02: So we turned up, we booked this co-working like service to office.
9:37
SPEAKER_02: Oh no, wait, we went to my husband's office.
9:39
SPEAKER_02: Yes, dude.
9:41
SPEAKER_02: That's right.
9:42
SPEAKER_02: We met Jesse for a coffee.
9:44
SPEAKER_02: I managed to get a room off him, and it was so funny because we had no gear.
9:49
SPEAKER_02: I think we'd got one microphone.
9:52
SPEAKER_02: We brought my laptop and I brought along a box to stand the laptop on, and we were in like a really bad room.
9:58
SPEAKER_02: And if you ever go back and watch the first few episodes, oh my god, like they're so bad.
10:03
SPEAKER_02: But do you remember there was a huge big selenite crystal in the room?
10:08
SPEAKER_00: It was like, where the hell did that come from?
10:10
SPEAKER_00: Why is it even here?
10:11
SPEAKER_00: But it was like our prop.
10:15
SPEAKER_02: It was all just meant to be as everything spiritual took.
10:18
SPEAKER_02: And yeah, and we sat there, and I remember us giggly energetic, nervous.
10:23
SPEAKER_02: Um, but the minute we started talking, obviously, that was amazing.
10:28
SPEAKER_02: And our first ever session, they it it just went really well, didn't it?
10:33
SPEAKER_02: We just recorded, we recorded two actually, because then our third, our first guest, our first guest was David the Medium.
10:42
SPEAKER_00: Oh my god, it's crazy to think that we were able, yeah.
10:47
SPEAKER_00: It's it would it just blew my mind that we were able to get that caliber of a guest, like straight away.
10:53
SPEAKER_00: And look at David now, like look at like he is you know global road show, like he's he's coming back to Ireland and the UK, like he's been here already, he's coming back again.
11:04
SPEAKER_00: Like it's just incredible to watch, you know, uh not just our own growth as our our journey, but you know, all of the people who've been guests on the show and just watching them go from strength to strength as well.
11:18
SPEAKER_00: It's amazing.
11:19
SPEAKER_02: So inspiring.
11:20
SPEAKER_02: Oh, I love it, it's so good.
11:22
SPEAKER_02: So I've got a question, Diane.
11:24
SPEAKER_02: What's something that's happened behind the scenes at some point over the last four years that no one will know about?
11:31
SPEAKER_02: Maybe I won't even know, but take us behind the scenes.
11:34
SPEAKER_00: Oh god, here's a there's a hard one.
11:38
SPEAKER_00: Um I'm just thinking probably the amount of muttering and cursing that I do to myself when I'm creating snippets.
11:50
SPEAKER_00: Oh yes.
11:50
SPEAKER_00: It's like the editing that goes on because I think for anyone, anyone who does a podcast knows how much work there is on the back end, and we're not even the editors, like we've had fantastic editors over the years, and but there's still a huge amount of work that goes on behind the scenes as well as like I just want to be interviewing people, I just want to be doing the fun stuff, and it's like nah you still have to, you know, chop wood, carry water, do the things that need to be done to get it done.
12:20
SPEAKER_00: And it's funny because I really enjoy doing it, but I go down a rabbit hole with it with the editing, and then it's like something will glitch in the software, and then I'll start muttering and cursing to myself.
12:31
SPEAKER_00: So, yes, not feeling too spiritual as fuck in those moments.
12:35
SPEAKER_02: Typically Irish, though.
12:38
SPEAKER_02: There's an Irish thing to do, exactly.
12:41
SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
12:42
SPEAKER_02: Okay, well, I have decided to do something quite special here.
12:45
SPEAKER_02: We are going to do the spiritual as fuck awards.
12:50
SPEAKER_02: Drum roll here, please, editor.
12:55
SPEAKER_02: I have a few categories, and I want you to think on your feet and see who you are going to award the following.
13:01
SPEAKER_02: Are you ready?
13:03
SPEAKER_02: The first award.
13:05
SPEAKER_02: The spiritual as fuck, holy shit, a moment.
13:09
SPEAKER_02: Which guest our conversation blew your mind, Diane.
13:13
SPEAKER_00: Oh, I this has to go to our first guest.
13:17
SPEAKER_00: We just named it.
13:18
SPEAKER_00: How funny.
13:19
SPEAKER_00: Um, David the Medium.
13:21
SPEAKER_00: So on that episode, there was probably a degree of nervous energy.
13:26
SPEAKER_00: So Liz was in the room with David.
13:28
SPEAKER_00: I was on Zoom on the other side of um, you know, the screen.
13:33
SPEAKER_00: But David actually brought through my mum's partner who had passed, and all you knew straight away, like you, because David wasn't sure whether it was for me or whether it was for Liz.
13:45
SPEAKER_00: And Liz knew straight away that it was for me, the connection was for me.
13:49
SPEAKER_00: And oh my god, the tears were welling up.
13:51
SPEAKER_00: But the things that he said, he got the name right, he got even got my mum's name right.
13:56
SPEAKER_00: It was like to this day, uh I don't think anything will ever top that.
14:02
SPEAKER_00: Probably because we were so new to it, because it came so effortlessly, so fluidly to David.
14:09
SPEAKER_00: And yeah, it's it was such a gift, is the only way to put it was such a gift because none of my family, we we all know that it was definitely him.
14:18
SPEAKER_00: There's not like, oh, that could have been anybody.
14:20
SPEAKER_00: There's no skeptic in it, it's a hundred percent.
14:22
SPEAKER_00: So that for me was my holy shit moment.
14:26
SPEAKER_00: And holy shit, look at the calibre of guests that we're starting out with, like just amazing, amazing.
14:34
SPEAKER_02: Oh, and so amazing to watch, I have to say.
14:36
SPEAKER_02: I love that's the thing I love about David He is he doesn't just give you the basic information, you get you get quite deep with him, and he gives you very specific information that you know makes him so good.
14:47
SPEAKER_02: That's why he's touring the world now and he's obviously just doing so well.
14:51
SPEAKER_02: So good job, David.
14:52
SPEAKER_02: You've won the uh holy shit moment.
14:54
SPEAKER_02: Well, no better, man.
14:58
SPEAKER_02: I'm trying to think of what mine was.
15:00
SPEAKER_02: Mine would probably be our interview with Vinnie Tolman, which let me just see episode nine, um, Beyond the Body Bag, and hearing his story of basically he he took a health drug.
15:16
SPEAKER_02: Is that right?
15:17
SPEAKER_02: He he basically took some type of powder, like a health powder that came from Thailand.
15:22
SPEAKER_00: A supplement, yeah.
15:23
SPEAKER_02: A supplement, that's right.
15:24
SPEAKER_02: And him and his friend ended up both pretty much dying, and he had a near-death experience that left him waking up in a body bag.
15:32
SPEAKER_02: Now, that was the first near-death experience that I'd ever heard directly from somebody's mouth.
15:38
SPEAKER_02: Yes, and I mean, in that episode, we didn't even ask him questions, it was an hour or longer of him just sharing that story, and you could hear a pin drop like that.
15:51
SPEAKER_02: To me, I remember gasping the entire way through that story.
15:55
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, because he could visualize and just imagine what he actually experienced there.
16:03
SPEAKER_00: I mean, mine did, he had such a spiritual experience and spiritual in a kind of almost religious uh spiritual experience as well, which is not something we'd touched a lot on in the show, but it was so so so beautiful.
16:18
SPEAKER_00: And then we invited him back to do a second one where we got to ask him all the questions as well.
16:23
SPEAKER_00: But yeah, there's no doubt about it.
16:25
SPEAKER_00: That was an incredible episode.
16:28
SPEAKER_02: Oh, the best.
16:29
SPEAKER_02: Okay, moving on.
16:32
SPEAKER_02: Next, the Spiritual Award for the biggest rabbit hole.
16:38
SPEAKER_02: Now, this is silly because you're gonna have everyone because I know that you are pretty new the digger of rabbit holes.
16:45
SPEAKER_02: But is there like one specific topic that made you go down that research spiral?
16:51
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and it's okay.
16:53
SPEAKER_00: I'll share with the listeners now something I said to Liz offline.
16:57
SPEAKER_00: I actually, when I was reviewing all of our episodes, this was just me, you know, reminiscing in my own way with a spreadsheet.
17:04
SPEAKER_00: Oh, bloody hell.
17:07
SPEAKER_00: And here I was putting down all the ones, and I was like putting little asterisk and remind reminding myself of everything that came in it.
17:14
SPEAKER_00: But there's no doubt about it.
17:15
SPEAKER_00: I had a category that I called the the out there episodes, like and we had so many of them.
17:22
SPEAKER_00: Like that was the thing, it was really, really difficult.
17:25
SPEAKER_00: Um, but I do know as a theme in general, anything to do with um near-death experiences or past lives, always for me, like I really love that as a topic.
17:34
SPEAKER_00: And it was actually Boris Walter that um was on the show recently.
17:39
SPEAKER_00: Um, and I say this because it was more so when I was doing the research for Boris.
17:45
SPEAKER_00: Oh my god, I swear I was traveling around with him in my ears.
17:48
SPEAKER_00: Any podcast, anything I could hear, and there was so much I have to do a shout out to Hard Yarns because he was show, he was on that show quite a bit, and I was just like fascinated, could not get enough of it.
18:00
SPEAKER_00: So it was absolutely incredible to be able to interview him, and it just added another layer onto something you know that's a rabbit hole.
18:08
SPEAKER_00: I'm already fairly deep into in terms of you know past life regression.
18:12
SPEAKER_02: Yes, oh yeah, great episode.
18:15
SPEAKER_02: I think I'm gonna say that's right.
18:16
SPEAKER_02: Everything you say.
18:17
SPEAKER_02: Um, mine has to be uh the interview with Vader Austin about water, yes, yeah, because Vader was up there.
18:24
SPEAKER_00: I Vader and Dita were up on mine as well.
18:28
SPEAKER_02: Uh but you know, I think it was such a different conversation.
18:31
SPEAKER_02: I mean, yeah, when I was saying to people, yeah, we're interviewing about water, it's like, what?
18:36
SPEAKER_02: Like, what the hell?
18:37
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, the places that she went in that interview, and we could have interviewed her for 24 hours, like she's full of knowledge and research, and I just went all the directions down the rabbit hole after that.
18:51
SPEAKER_02: You know, I'm labelling things on my water, I'm exploring, I'm finding out more.
18:56
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I just thought it was mind-blowing.
18:58
SPEAKER_02: And I I think that's an episode that everyone actually should listen to.
19:01
SPEAKER_00: Everyone absolutely, yeah, yeah.
19:03
SPEAKER_00: It doesn't matter what your three.
19:05
SPEAKER_00: Yes, it doesn't matter what your spiritual persuasion or flavor is.
19:09
SPEAKER_00: Like we all drink water, we're made up of water.
19:12
SPEAKER_00: Just that is definitely it will change, it totally will change the way you think about water.
19:17
SPEAKER_02: Absolutely.
19:18
SPEAKER_02: Okay, moving on.
19:19
SPEAKER_02: This is a good one.
19:20
SPEAKER_02: I wonder if we've both got the same for this.
19:23
SPEAKER_02: I think we might.
19:25
SPEAKER_02: I think we might.
19:26
SPEAKER_02: The spiritual asput funniest moment award.
19:30
SPEAKER_02: Is there being a time where you just completely lost it laughing, Diad?
19:34
SPEAKER_00: Oh, uh yes, but it wasn't on the podcast.
19:37
SPEAKER_00: I know what you're gonna say now.
19:39
SPEAKER_01: It's the same, go for it.
19:42
SPEAKER_00: It's like Liz, like I said, is the marketing genius.
19:46
SPEAKER_00: She's the one who comes up with all the titles and all the graphics and all the beautiful social media stuff.
19:51
SPEAKER_00: And it's like, I'm just not great at that stuff at all.
19:53
SPEAKER_00: I say I'm not great, I'm useless.
19:55
SPEAKER_00: So we had one day where we were trying to come up with an episode name, and we were both getting a little bit, a little bit stuck on it, and we were signboarding and throwing ideas around.
20:06
SPEAKER_00: And I said, it just needs to be something like, don't fuck with my field.
20:10
SPEAKER_00: Like the minute we said the two was bust out laughing, it was like, that's it, that's it.
20:14
SPEAKER_00: But I think for me it was the fact that, oh my god, how many episodes in were we?
20:18
SPEAKER_00: And I'd finally come up with a, you know, a witty name or something worthy to put on.
20:24
SPEAKER_00: So for me, it was just our laughter, like our like that kind of brainstorming energy that we have, and that's you know, almost like taking the piss completely.
20:34
SPEAKER_00: That's what's so funny when we're when we're doing that.
20:37
SPEAKER_00: It doesn't, I think we're usually good when we're on air with a guest.
20:41
SPEAKER_00: We're kind of holding ourselves together, being somewhat professional, but when we're on our own, we're a total other, a total other planet.
20:49
SPEAKER_00: Oh, the behind the scenes.
20:55
SPEAKER_02: Tell me it was the episode recording with Alicia Temerman.
20:59
SPEAKER_02: Oh, yes, that was my close second, but I wasn't in the room with Alicia.
21:06
SPEAKER_02: This was the hardest episode, so I'm not gonna call it the funniest.
21:09
SPEAKER_02: It was the funniest and the hardest for me because and I've spoken about this before, but I was face to face with Alicia.
21:16
SPEAKER_02: We were very, very early on.
21:17
SPEAKER_02: What was it, episode 12?
21:20
SPEAKER_02: And Alicia was channeling spirit guides, but not in a normal voice.
21:27
SPEAKER_02: She was channeling spirit guides in a different voice, a spirit, a spirit guide voice, if you know what one of them sounds like.
21:36
SPEAKER_02: But it was crazy because I was sat in Jesse's office.
21:40
SPEAKER_02: I could hear people in the next office.
21:42
SPEAKER_02: The walls were that thing, I could hear them typing, and there was Alicia giving the most profound messages from the other side, and I was almost dying inside because I could see shadows of people walking past, and I was dying to laugh.
21:56
SPEAKER_02: At the same time, I was horrified because I'm thinking these people are probably.
22:00
SPEAKER_02: witch hunt me when I leave the office.
22:05
SPEAKER_01: Jesse's wife is weird.
22:07
SPEAKER_01: What is she doing?
22:10
SPEAKER_00: Everybody needs to go back and watch that episode on YouTube to just see because you will see.
22:15
SPEAKER_00: Like obviously I I didn't know what was going on because I was on the other side of the the Zoom call.
22:22
SPEAKER_00: I didn't realize but I could see people walking by in the background.
22:27
SPEAKER_00: I suppose that was in the early stages where we didn't have a definite setup.
22:32
SPEAKER_00: But that was that was hilarious.
22:34
SPEAKER_00: When we spoke about that afterwards, you were dying poor Alicia.
22:37
SPEAKER_02: Do you know what and Alicia did so amazing like because she was so in the channel right and I had to go back and listen to it to get the messages afterwards.
22:45
SPEAKER_02: But that is the true uh example one foot in one world and one foot in the other for me because I'm half listening to something that I'd never heard before in my life.
22:54
SPEAKER_02: It was absolutely amazing.
22:56
SPEAKER_02: And yet half of the other was in my rational thinking mind in the ego thinking I am literally dying with embarrassment, shame and every other negative emotion at the same time.
23:08
SPEAKER_00: Whereas I I could soak up the glory of everything that Alicia was doing because I wasn't experiencing any of them at all.
23:16
SPEAKER_00: Classic spiritual classic brilliant yeah so we need to let Alicia know that that's definitely the the funniest moment.
23:25
SPEAKER_00: Oh absolutely uh do you have an award for the most unexpected guest like someone that just really surprised you yeah and again this this was kind of hard um I actually had Alicia for you that sort of my head for you um but it has to be John Edward um like the fact that we both got to meet him in person the fact that like he really was someone that I would have grown up watching on on TV but it wasn't that so yes there was an element of being starstruck um you know nervous energy in the beginning but it was his humility his totally down to earth and you know when we finished recording he just you know because we were recording it in an apartment and John just leaned against the kitchen counter and you know shoot the breeze with us for I don't know it must have been half an hour or 40 minutes afterwards as if there was no hurry on it whatsoever.
24:24
SPEAKER_00: So his you know generosity of time generosity of knowledge of spirit was just so so so beautiful like it was almost as if time stopped just absolutely loved it.
24:36
SPEAKER_02: Oh yeah I second that I mean John Edward is a truly special person as well as being a truly special media he's like very authentic and um he's truly incredible at what he does.
24:52
SPEAKER_02: So yeah I feel like we should just give him that award we don't need to even mention anyone else there.
24:59
SPEAKER_00: Exactly it's funny I saw on social media that uh David Maddock who uh who's connect with David that we also interviewed on the show met um John Edward recently and we had a little bit of a message exchange over WhatsApp about how excited he just couldn't believe that he'd actually met him and same thing just that beautiful beautiful spirit that he has has has come through.
25:22
SPEAKER_00: So yeah John well deserved this one.
25:25
SPEAKER_00: Yeah absolutely okay the award for the episode that changed you was the a conversation that just shifted your way of thinking yes definitely and this is one that continues to give to me and it was with Ainsley McLeod.
25:45
SPEAKER_00: Yes so and I have to say I have such a soft place in my heart for Ainsley like just the interview um the way that he spoke so Ainsley was speaking about um past lives and after the episode I had a reading with him so he he read for both Liz and I in the episode but I had a one-on-one reading with him afterwards and I'm actually going to share the piece of wisdom that he said like there was loads in it there was so much but I was at a time where I was grappling with do I move home to Ireland or not?
26:18
SPEAKER_00: Do I uproot my teenage daughter?
26:21
SPEAKER_00: Do I you know beg my former husband you know try to convince these two people to come to the other side of the world into the great unknown and uh part of me was so worried that would this do damage to my daughter?
26:34
SPEAKER_00: Like would this end up being something that God lovers she'd need therapy later on in life because mommy mommy has extricated her from her life but I was really grappling with it.
26:44
SPEAKER_00: And I explained this to Ainsley through I was hoping it would come out in the in the reading and it wasn't coming out in the way that I wanted and I just said to myself look I said I'm just afraid I'm making the wrong decision.
26:56
SPEAKER_00: And he just said you have your soul path and your daughter has her soul path and both of you clearly have a soul path that leads to Ireland.
27:05
SPEAKER_00: So it was I don't even remember his exact words but it basically made me realize that oh here's me thinking oh if I stayed in Australia for her sake then everything would be okay but it was like then I would be going against the grain of what we had both probably agreed to coming into this lifetime.
27:23
SPEAKER_00: So and now that I'm on the other side of it I'm settled in Ireland Ashling was up on the stage last night you know playing piano with her school and I'm just like oh my God she's so settled in here it's so fantastic.
27:34
SPEAKER_00: But that as a parent it's lovely when you get a perl of wisdom or a little bit of guidance that just makes life a little bit easier.
27:41
SPEAKER_00: And that for me was yeah beautiful abs and life changing for me.
27:46
SPEAKER_02: Oh I love that yeah that's a great episode actually what episode is that one with Ainsley do you think oh I'll need I'll need to go back and check I know I have it here somewhere like yeah let us know on that one because it's uh a really beautiful uh episode 40 42 episode 42 amazing my spreadsheet's in the background folks just in case you're wondering of course it is that's why I asked you otherwise if I didn't think you had a backup then we can then we can solve the spreadsheet what about for you was there anything that really changed there's there's a lot of episodes that shifted my way of thinking but I have to say there's no non yeah I'm just gonna say this one it was episode one I I don't think there's anything that shifted me shifted me more than episode one because it was the moment in time the absolute pivot the absolute throwing myself out there with you to go out to the world as my true authentic self as a spiritual person.
28:46
SPEAKER_00: I mean geez that really did take some balls for both of us that was hardcore especially like when you come from um corporate or you know me from business yeah you are really kind of putting yourself on the line in a way and I know that many people talk about this you are known with an identity and then suddenly you're coming out as something different and we all know even in this day and age there's some people that don't believe in half the stuff that we talk about you know and probably think that we are absolutely crazy and I'm okay with that I'm okay too and if you're listening welcome to the crazy crew we know you're just the same you wouldn't be listening otherwise that's right maybe you'll tune into the wrong podcast and you're quickly turning it off who knows well yeah episode one for me um yeah Timor awards okay the spiritual spook award for the one that got away was it I think we both oh god I think we both know what this one is you're gonna say the the person beginning with TH yes the one that we had on our manifestation board from day one from day and we were so convinced that we would absolutely have so it's Tyler Henry folks for me enemy that was it it just constantly constantly constantly came up and who knows Liz that could still be a possibility Tyler Henry on this podcast to be the last thing that I do and I'll do it for you I'll be back begging please miss well you know what Diane I'm gonna say this here that the moment that I lock in Tyler Henry you need to come back as a guest kind of okay it's a deal it's a deal to we'll uh flesh out the manifestation board yes still sending the positive vibes out there Tyler absolutely yeah but we'll we'll send him the snippet once it goes live please Tyler I don't want to beg but I'll beg I'm fine I'll beg.
30:49
SPEAKER_00: Diane who does your award for the most spiritual foot moment go to what moment if you could sum up all the moments sums up the show uh definitely the first episode but the very specific moment in it tell me more where where I spoke about I was trying to describe the electricity that was going through my body when I had my spiritual awakening oh god I know I get impact I can't believe I forgot about this yes I'm so glad my God of the archives so this is the archives this is but like as I was trying to explain it to Liz I went to say a certain word and then I went to edit myself I thought I can't bloody say that I thought no we're real we're raw and that I think that for me it set the tone for me that it's from then on it was like no we're not editing we're not holding back if something we want to say something we say it.
31:52
SPEAKER_00: So basically I described it like having uh you know an orgasm over months that was like okay that heightened electrical energy going through my body that's like I mean how does one cook dinner how does one cope I feel like that one comment in the first episode got us into 90 countries in three months that was the winner the winning the the missing ingredient for every other podcast is they're not talking about whole body orgasms.
32:24
SPEAKER_02: Oh my god 90 it's like oh sorry mommy if you're listening oh classic I'm not even gonna say mine now because that that is just what it is that is the best and that gets that wart absolutely well done I still want to know you can't do that I'm too curious yeah you have to tell me well my other one was something you've already mentioned which was coming up with the title Stop don't fuck with my field yes yes oh amazing I mean I know that you will agree with me here that we have shared so much during these four years.
33:01
SPEAKER_02: I have a question just around your changing views of spirituality over the years because we all change and I know that our listeners and we have got hundreds if not thousands of listeners that tune in that have gone on this journey with us from very early days.
33:17
SPEAKER_02: You know I know that there's a lot of people that have been with us since episode one and looking back they've changed you know they weave in and out of spirituality they come they go their beliefs have changed with a lot of the conversations is there anything that that's changed with your beliefs since the the podcast oh so much like so much I think every time we have a guest on the show I get another snippet or another perspective and what I know is I know nothing.
33:49
SPEAKER_00: Like I feel like I'm the eternal student um I I feel like I'll frame things in my current thinking is because I it's always evolving.
34:03
SPEAKER_00: I learn something else and I think oh that makes sense and there's room for like every kind of race colour and creed of spirituality under it all like I mean some of us gravitate towards like language some may gravitate towards healing some may gravitate towards you know Akashic records whatever it might be but it all fundamentally boils down to us all trying to make sense of our place in the universe.
34:28
SPEAKER_00: It's like who are we?
34:30
SPEAKER_00: And for me it's more that look within and within we are a you know a replica of everything that is going on in the in the cosmos.
34:40
SPEAKER_00: It's definitely that and and that whole continue from life to life to life the journey of the soul as opposed to of the the human that for me is the and it's like I always believed that anyway but I've got so much more depth so much more perspective so many more experiences just from the amount of guests that we've had on the show and the amount of you know even modalities that I've learned myself because of the show itself as well so it's like totally totally transformed my my thinking and I do very much believe that we're in a life school like I'm here I planned this life I knew okay I'm gonna take this this this and this lesson I'm going to learn these while I'm here I'm probably stumbling falling cutting my knees getting back up again a million times and I'm sure like we all notice after a while and I'm now in my early 50s so you notice oh there's a recurring pattern that's happened here.
35:38
SPEAKER_00: I still haven't learned that lesson so it's just and that's why I I'm just so fascinated by the whole thing like I've always been fascinated by human behavior.
35:47
SPEAKER_00: I've always been fascinated by you know my place in the universe and just I love that there is so much to learn and I still know nothing.
35:58
SPEAKER_00: What is one of those lessons if you could just share one lesson that you're walking away with yeah okay um it's probably the idea of soul contracts I think just that that believing that between lives so if you're you know like you're someone who's listening to the show for the first time today and it's not something that you're familiar with and I definitely this is my you know my current thinking it's not even a um you know I'm not saying it's the right thing but it's that idea that between lifetimes we take time to figure out okay if my primary purpose is to evolve as a soul then who are the people so I have no doubt Liz that you and I made a soul contract before coming into this life and that we were meant to meet 100% after like we had met before that but that was a very surface level and I think I I feel like we even planned that so we would have some degree of familiarity of each other when the big moment arrived um and that seems to be true for me and in some of my relationships in my life as well it's like you just you have these moments then that's okay this is really big.
37:10
SPEAKER_00: We're meant to work through this together and I've no doubt about it that we planned that and then it's a matter of going through it.
37:18
SPEAKER_00: And I do feel even to a degree that that soul contract has been fulfilled in some way as well as you know as now and I don't think that this is the end of because nothing's ever going to end the friendship.
37:31
SPEAKER_00: It's you know the friendship there'll probably be other ways for us to work together in the future but that major thing that we were meant to do together the thing that we were meant to be for each other the support mechanism because people only see the podcast they don't see the the friendship support that we've been for each other as well along the lines but I've no doubt about it that that idea of a soul contract and that could be a karmic relationship for people that could be a you know some people talk about twin flame relationships that can be a business relationship it can be a like it's definitely with your kids with your parents you've actually agreed to all of those before you come into this lifetime that's the the the idea that for me is it gives me so much that I even look with my daughter I think oh she chose me as her mum you know like you know she comes from a you know I hate to use the word broken home but her parents are no longer together but that's I it it just gives me that little bit that I don't beat myself up about so many things that I used to back when my mental health wasn't good.
38:32
SPEAKER_00: So it's given me a better way to just view the world and surrender to the oh I haven't still mastered that one but you know what I mean I can surrender a little bit better than I used to oh yeah I love that I mean this friendship absolutely I agree with everything you've just said and I think that when you look back there's like so many different times that our paths had crossed you know we could have been in the same room many times who knows if we really took a look at it.
39:00
SPEAKER_00: Yeah um pretty crazy Diane our friendship has evolved what do you think that we brought out in each other what what did you learn about me do I want to know what what did I learn about you oh you are like Liz you are and I'm not gonna talk to listeners I'm gonna talk to you you are an absolute powerhouse like I had don't make me cry now no like do you know what I mean like okay I'm gonna say I'm gonna just say it the way I want to say it so it's like you are gorgeous you are glamorous you are this dainty little being and yet you can move mountains you like I have never seen anybody's capacity for work for change for mobilization the way you are and like I do a lot of work that's change related like that's like that's my whole life that's my whole business but I'm usually someone who's facilitating the process of change but you're the person who has the vision the person who makes things happen and I see you juggle that through your business through life through the podcast or your family like just being able to juggle all of these things with absolute grace.
40:12
SPEAKER_00: Like you just yeah yeah absolutely do and I think I I just love that because for me I work best when I have either a vision to be followed or a problem to be solved like I even in corporate in that I was always at my best when I was a two IC like the the second in command or the operational it's like okay what are we doing?
40:34
SPEAKER_00: Great let's let's um then I'll mobilize the troops I'll get everything done whatever needs to happen but but for you it's just that vision um and just how much you trust trust trust your intuition like and I've seen that evolve and grow from the very first time that we were interacting together to now that it's like yeah you don't doubt it.
40:56
SPEAKER_00: You're you're just sitting back into it so relaxed so comfortable just knowing you know trusting in your gift which is absolutely amazing but no the fact that you are a total powerhouse that's the the number one for me.
41:10
SPEAKER_00: I mean and people people don't see that people do not see that in you because I see it all in the back end and obviously in all the other business interests that you that you have um and your background but you know most people who are on the podcast with us they don't realize the other elements that we have going on in our businesses and things like that.
41:32
SPEAKER_02: So it's yeah go check out Liz's other work please all of that and more back at you because the thing is the that's the energy that we've both brought are completely different strengths to the table that when mixed together is the magic sauce right that's the magic sauce that has grown the podcast to 90 countries.
41:54
SPEAKER_02: It's not one of us it's actually both of us bringing our skills and the best thing about you is the fact that whenever I've brought any type of idea to the table 99.99999% you will listen and go, let's do it.
42:10
SPEAKER_02: You know it doesn't and then the support that you just all that's all I need you know and this is where our uh human designs come together and work really well in flow is that all I need someone is just to say yeah that's good and then together we make it happen and then oh my God I mean don't get me started on we all we have a laugh on the spreadsheets and your attention to detail and how thorough you are but holy shit I am none of that and like all of those skills I literally honor you I bow down to you.
42:41
SPEAKER_02: Holy shit without you no one would be able to be listening today to becomes so careless and you pick up everything.
42:50
SPEAKER_02: And one thing I will say Diane like the quality of spiritual AF from the very start is all down to you.
42:58
SPEAKER_02: And I feel like that's what's really made the Spiritualist podcast different as well is the time and effort that you've put in to ensure that our listeners have the best possible experience.
43:08
SPEAKER_00: So thank you for everything.
43:11
SPEAKER_00: Oh my God and it do you know what I love it I just think that we both this has allowed both of us to play to our strengths because you know when like I think of for me even to come up with a title for an episode I spin my wheels that's one thing whereas you know for you those things come so naturally anything that's marketing that's um you know that's that's visually beautiful all of that stuff is down to you and I just I love that we're able to do both we just complement each other so well and I do think too that we've always been able to you know sing out for help like if if one of us gets you there's a lot on our plate or there's something happening like for me moving over here you know moving back to Ireland it was like okay you know I need I need Some help, I'm not able to get through all the stuff that we need to get through.
44:03
SPEAKER_00: And it's just knowing that, you know, I've you're always a safe pair of pants for me.
44:08
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
44:09
SPEAKER_02: And I love that we're finishing on a high.
44:11
SPEAKER_02: You know, when relationships are coming to a close or an experience is coming to come close, I know that the first thing people always think is, Oh, what's happened?
44:19
SPEAKER_02: You know, God.
44:21
SPEAKER_02: Oh no, what's happened behind the scenes?
44:23
SPEAKER_02: No, nothing like that.
44:24
SPEAKER_02: So I guess the question that probably everybody has been waiting for you to answer is, Diane, what's made you feel like it was time for a new chapter?
44:32
SPEAKER_02: And what's next?
44:35
SPEAKER_00: Oh God, this is it's funny for me.
44:38
SPEAKER_00: A lot of these things I've come to learn that being a manifesting generator, like a human design manifesting generator, like I know I'm always looking for something new.
44:48
SPEAKER_00: Like even when I was in corporate, I was in a different role at least every 18 months.
44:54
SPEAKER_00: Like I always need something new, something, and it's it's it just seems to gravitate towards it.
45:01
SPEAKER_00: Now I it's not that I felt that so much on this, it was more the universe was pushing me in this direction.
45:08
SPEAKER_00: And the big thing for me was I've moved my whole life to Ireland, but a lot of my clients are still on the, you know, ANZ, Asia Pack kind of side of the globe.
45:21
SPEAKER_00: The podcast is on that side.
45:24
SPEAKER_00: I, you know, I still have other ties in Australia, and I just kept getting this download that I needed to set my foundations um in in in Ireland to the point, and I I'm just realizing now, I never even put this out on social media, and I probably should, but I changed my word for the year in at the end of September to foundation.
45:46
SPEAKER_00: So I literally thought, okay, everything, um, and it was actually after I had a reading with Luke Bulk.
45:53
SPEAKER_00: It's so funny, you would think that I run off for a reading with people every day of the week, but but that's my fascination with understanding people as well.
46:01
SPEAKER_00: But um, after we had uh met with Luke Bulk Bulk, I got an astrology reading from him, which was fascinating.
46:09
SPEAKER_00: And he reflected back to me a lot of the things that I was actually either resisting, you know, denying, not going to be.
46:17
SPEAKER_00: As you do.
46:18
SPEAKER_00: As you do.
46:20
SPEAKER_00: And I just thought to myself, okay, what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna set a clean slate and I'm gonna say, okay, universe, if I threw out everything, like absolutely everything, what would I be keeping, knowing the kind of life that I want to live and knowing that I, you know, life circumstances, I need to spend a lot of time focusing on family at the moment as well.
46:40
SPEAKER_00: And it was like, okay, when I went through all of that, it was just like, okay, now is the time.
46:46
SPEAKER_00: It's and what killed me, what bloody killed me was, and this is why I dragged my heels even on making the decision.
46:53
SPEAKER_00: It was like, I don't want to not see Liz.
46:55
SPEAKER_00: I don't want to not be working together.
46:58
SPEAKER_00: It's yeah, and I I know that that's not gonna go away.
47:02
SPEAKER_00: I know the two of us will will already be, you know, still on tapping each other and voice noting and catching up on scene and it's still it will still be there, but it is different when you're when you're not working with someone when there isn't a set intention or like a shared purpose together.
47:19
SPEAKER_00: So that did make it extremely, extremely hard.
47:22
SPEAKER_00: But it just felt like the time was right and that I need to be focused more on this side of the of the globe to just set my roots and my energy over here.
47:33
SPEAKER_02: Oh, absolutely.
47:33
SPEAKER_02: And you know, we've just run a series last month on backing yourself, right?
47:37
SPEAKER_02: And this is such a good example for everyone listening of all the stuff that we've spoken about for four years.
47:44
SPEAKER_02: It's that the universe will take you in a direction, and your job is to trust.
47:50
SPEAKER_02: Like you have to trust, you don't know the answer, you don't have to explain why, but you've got to take the leap of faith sometimes.
47:58
SPEAKER_02: And I know, Diane, this is a huge leap of faith.
48:01
SPEAKER_02: Leaving something that you genuinely love, that you, you know, have fun with, that yeah, we've got this great partnership, but you have to trust that it will always be replaced by something better, you know?
48:13
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and for anyone listening, I think I feel like it's an important time coming up to the end of the end of the year to reflect on things like this.
48:20
SPEAKER_02: Like sometimes it's better to leave things on a high than wait until you are, you know, treading through mud and you're filled down and it doesn't feel right and you're resisting change.
48:32
SPEAKER_02: It's like, no, yeah, do it the way Diane's doing it here, feel into it and just do it.
48:39
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's it's funny because I think one of you know, I spoke earlier about the life lessons and things that kind of we circle and it comes back again and it comes back again.
48:49
SPEAKER_00: And I know for me, things like you know, when I didn't leave my corporate role, I ended up having burnout and breakdown.
48:58
SPEAKER_00: So, and I was heading for another burnout and breakdown when I was in denial about leaving my marriage as well.
49:05
SPEAKER_00: So it's like, God, I'm not putting you in that category.
49:08
SPEAKER_00: God pressure.
49:11
SPEAKER_00: But it's but it is the example of realizing, isn't it so much better to leave things on a high, as you say, and do it like work with the universe, work with the energies, work with where the little breadcrumb trail is is setting you.
49:29
SPEAKER_00: And then, you know, yes, because we've just done a week of back yourself, you know, like encouraging everybody to do.
49:35
SPEAKER_00: We were talking about David the medium earlier, like just the fact that seeing so many people go from strength to strength to strength, it's like if you don't listen to those little nudges, if you don't listen to your your intuition, like for me, that's my inner compass.
49:50
SPEAKER_00: It's like that's the thing that's guiding me forward.
49:53
SPEAKER_00: And there's no point in me teaching that if I'm not gonna be, you know, the role model and following it myself, if I'm not gonna do and practice in my own life what I'm speaking to other people about.
50:04
SPEAKER_00: So, yeah, 100% just make the changes, course correct.
50:10
SPEAKER_02: Okay, so Diane, next chapter.
50:13
SPEAKER_02: What advice do you have for me as I take spiritual into the future?
50:18
SPEAKER_00: Oh, Liz, you have to keep going.
50:21
SPEAKER_00: I'm I'm so grateful that you didn't decide to call it quits either, because that was part of my resistance to letting go as well.
50:32
SPEAKER_00: Because I feel this is needed, like it was needed when we started out, it's still needed.
50:37
SPEAKER_00: Um, and I know every day someone new finds the podcast, um, you know, in their moment of need, but definitely keep, keep, keep going.
50:46
SPEAKER_00: But I would also say to you to experiment with co-hosts.
50:50
SPEAKER_00: So have some different people, like even have some of our guests come back to co-host with you for a season or to trial different things just to get the and you know, people like a degree of change and things being spiced up a little bit as well.
51:07
SPEAKER_00: But my I think my overarching thing would be keeping it real, keeping it raw, which I know you will.
51:13
SPEAKER_00: Like that's I think that's what everybody gravitates towards.
51:17
SPEAKER_00: So whether it's an episode that's been just the two of us or it's been with a guest, we try to, you know, have this be spirituality for the real world.
51:25
SPEAKER_00: It's down to earth, it's being vulnerable.
51:28
SPEAKER_00: And, you know, I mentioned before about you being the custodian of the, you know, you're the person who birthed it into the world, it was your initial intuitive hit.
51:37
SPEAKER_00: And, you know, like we watch this baby grow together.
51:41
SPEAKER_00: So it's like, it's I know that you, because your intuition is so strong and because you do pay attention to where Spirit is guiding you, that wherever you take this will be absolutely the right thing that it is needed.
51:59
SPEAKER_02: Oh, thank you, Diane.
52:01
SPEAKER_02: Yes.
52:02
SPEAKER_02: I mean, we may have a listener sat there right now hearing that, going, wow, I'd really like to be a guest host with Liz on the Spiritual Earth podcast.
52:12
SPEAKER_02: Follow your intuition if you just got given a little nudge from Diane there.
52:17
SPEAKER_02: What is the worst thing that can happen, right?
52:19
SPEAKER_02: You've got to follow the breadcrumbs.
52:21
SPEAKER_02: Yes, thank yourself.
52:23
SPEAKER_02: Thank yourself, yeah.
52:24
SPEAKER_02: Oh wow.
52:25
SPEAKER_02: It's our time is coming to an end.
52:28
SPEAKER_02: The hour and a bit has just gone really fast.
52:30
SPEAKER_02: Diane, what a bloody legend that you are, girl.
52:34
SPEAKER_02: What a legend.
52:36
SPEAKER_02: Oh gosh, I can't see for the four years.
52:39
SPEAKER_02: It's been amazing.
52:41
SPEAKER_02: We've not even mentioned Bali, really.
52:44
SPEAKER_02: I know Bali and Alchemy retreat was just it was super special.
52:49
SPEAKER_02: So yeah.
52:50
SPEAKER_00: I think so.
52:51
SPEAKER_00: And that that's one of my biggest moments.
52:53
SPEAKER_00: And not just the fact that we did a retreat, we backed ourselves, we had a retreat in Bali, we got spent so much time together.
53:01
SPEAKER_00: We, you know, and then so many people had trusted us to come on retreat with us.
53:05
SPEAKER_00: Some some people hadn't even left the country before, you know, all of a sudden they were going off solo on a retreat to Bali, but it was also getting to spend time with Jesse and the kids, and it was just like, oh, I got adopted into the Volte family for a week, which was lovely, absolutely lovely.
53:24
SPEAKER_00: So, yeah, Liz, this is definitely not goodbye forever.
53:29
SPEAKER_00: And I, you know, I am open to appearing as a guest host from time to time if you want me back, if you want to, you know, put that resignation letter into, you know, uh but no, I I have no doubt it will go from strength to strength to strength, and I will be the most avid listener, the most, you know, the biggest cheerleader with the pom poms cheering you.
53:51
SPEAKER_00: I know.
53:52
