Ft. My Mum! ~ Power of Visualisation ~ Fearing Success ~ Connection to Spirits
4k Plays2 years ago
My guest today is very special, because it’s my Mum! Anna is a manifesting Queen herself and has a very powerful story which she shares in this episode. There are two key elements which helped her manifestation materialise; the power of visualisation and the importance of taking inspired action. She also explains how important it is to not only focus on what you want, but to want it so bad that you absolutely won’t give up - unless something better comes, of course, which is pretty common when you surrender. ‘I accept this, or something better.’ - Gabby Bernstein.
We touch on how our inner critic can steer us away from success, because often our biggest dreams can be scary. However, if your dreams don’t scare you … they aren’t big enough!
We chat about our connection and experiences with our spirit guides, angels and loved ones in heaven. I share a very special connection with my Nan (mum’s mum) which comes through in magical ways.
We end the episode pulling a card from my brand new deck, which launches on the day this podcast is released! The card we pull is absolutely CRAZY for what this episode was ~ they always align.

Introducing Cleo's Mum
00:01:31
Speaker
I hope this episode can inspire you. It's a fun chat with my mum. She doesn't know what we're doing or what we're talking about. So it really is just a conversation with us too, but with you guys all listening. So I hope it's okay, but I thought it would be fun to do something different.
00:01:47
Speaker
a little introduction to my mum just so you know a little bit about her. She grew up in the entertainment industry. She was a singer in a band, a band of which my dad was the drummer in, and she from then created Rockerstedford, sung in musicals, was a radio host. Then we moved up to the Gold Coast and she was a performing arts teacher for years. She
00:02:11
Speaker
became a writer and an actor and she does all of the things within the entertainment industry. She is a great gal. I am very lucky to have a very close relationship with my mum. So let's just get right into it. I hope you enjoy. Why am I nervous?
00:02:32
Speaker
Okay, we've got a nervous mum in here. Why are you nervous? I don't know. It feels weird. Well, to be fair, I haven't told mum anything about really what we're talking about, have I? No. Well, this is just a chat for the people. I'm sure they'll enjoy it.
00:02:52
Speaker
Right. Okay.
Manifesting 'Stage Mums'
00:02:53
Speaker
Well, I wanted to start off by talking about manifesting because the pass around the smile is love manifesting. And you are quite the powerful manifester. I am. I made you. You did. I manifested you. Oh, that's nice. Oh, well, I wasn't going to talk about manifesting me, but I wanted to talk about the manifestation story that I know and love that has a few different elements that I kind of want to talk about.
00:03:17
Speaker
And it is the story of how you manifested your web series stage mums to be picked up by network 10. Yeah. So why don't you just, let's just jump straight in because it's such an inspiring story and I never get sick of hearing it. So let's, let's talk about it. I started off doing some skits with a friend of mine, Tara, about two stage mums who had daughters that they wanted to make famous. And they went pretty well on YouTube.
00:03:47
Speaker
And people enjoyed it, the storyline, everyone could relate to it, whether they were soccer moms, swim moms, or dance moms, or whatever. Basically, these moms loved their kids so much, they wanted them to be really high achievers in the film and TV world, which is what stage moms was. So then it developed into a web series.
00:04:10
Speaker
and that was eight seven minute episodes and it just came together so easily it was bizarre we had all these professionals working on it you know because you played my daughter
00:04:25
Speaker
Obviously. And we had all these people that you'd worked with on H2O Just Add Water came on and helped out. It was just an amazing week of filming with a fantastic vibe. And once it was filmed, I was like, this is better than just throwing it up on online. This has got to be seen on a TV.
00:04:49
Speaker
and I was like yeah in my head you know arguing with myself saying well all well and good Anna but it's a web series you don't put web series on tv and the other side of Anna was going yeah but this is so good it deserves to be on a tv screen so I just kept visualizing it being on a big tv screen not just on phones and computers
00:05:13
Speaker
And once it was all edited, I was even more like, it's going to be on TV, it's going to be on TV. And I didn't know how to get it there because no web series are on TV. So I started looking on Facebook. I found a group. It's not even there anymore about women in television. And I put it out there and said, I've got this comedy series. Is anyone?
00:05:42
Speaker
interested or does anyone have any tips for how I can get it on TV? And then somebody wrote to me from network 10 saying, Oh, I'm really interested to have a look at it. And I was like, as if you're from network 10, like, yeah, all right, sure. Okay. I'll send it to you anyway. Not believing that they were really from network 10 and they were from network 10 and they loved it.
00:06:07
Speaker
And all of a sudden it was like, okay, we'd love this. We're going to put it on 10 peach in a family time slot. How does that suit you? And I'm like, ah, yeah, thank you. That'd be great. So I went on 10 peach and then it went on to 10 play where it's just come off 10 play. It was there for three years as well. And, um, yeah, it,
00:06:31
Speaker
It happened. Like what I visualized actually happened and it still amazes me. Yeah. It's, it's so crazy. And I love so many different elements of it. The first element that I want to talk about is way, way back at the start when you decided to start doing the web series, you started doing it because there weren't many roles for women your age. Am I right? Yeah, exactly. So you created your own work. Yes. And you just did it.
00:07:01
Speaker
Yeah. You didn't wait around. No. And I did it with the focus being, yeah, I want work as an actor and a performer and a writer, but also I want to have fun and I want people to laugh. So,
00:07:21
Speaker
My aim wasn't just to be who I want to be seen. My aim was to fulfill my creative talents, to use what talents I've been given, but also to serve people in a way that I can entertain them, let them escape from
00:07:38
Speaker
life, have a giggle, that sort of thing. Yeah, I love that and I think that's why it happened so effortlessly, the web series, why it came together, why all of these professionals were so passionate about it, K-1 said I will help you
00:07:55
Speaker
you know, at no cost. Like it was incredible. Like everyone just coming together because they all believed in this project because they were vibrating then off your energy because your energy was vibrating so high. And it was this energy of giving and receiving and having fun and you know, just enjoying the craft of acting and writing and comedy and everyone just vibrated off that. And that's why it did just kind of happen so effortlessly.
00:08:22
Speaker
Yeah, and on set, like you were there, everyone was just like having so much fun. So they were all using their talents as well to create a fun thing. Yeah, and in the process, of course, you were essentially, there was a big part of this that you were doing it for yourself, but you were doing it for a lot of other people too. And I think I've talked about this in manifestation episodes in the past where
00:08:48
Speaker
you know you can ask for whatever you want but if you have a reason behind what you are asking for and if that reason is for the highest good for all it is going to happen and it's going to happen effortlessly and that's not to say we can't ask for materialistic things but just have a why have a reason and you definitely did so okay so moving on you've done the web series then the next part i want to talk about is
00:09:17
Speaker
the inspired action you took once it was edited and completed and you were like, okay, I don't know
Visualization Techniques for Success
00:09:24
Speaker
how to get this to TV, but I know I have a goal of TV. And it reminds me of Jim Carrey's quote, which is something like, I'm probably going to get this wrong. It's about asking the universe for what you want, then working toward it while letting go of how it comes to pass. So essentially you were still working toward this thing. Like you weren't just sitting around on the couch.
00:09:46
Speaker
you know, waiting for it to happen. But you also didn't know the path of how, but you believed that something was going to work out. So talk us through that. Yeah. And I think now I'm thinking back, like before even the network turn deal happened, for some reason channel nine came to me and I remember getting that message.
00:10:12
Speaker
saying, oh, we've seen that you've made this comedy series. Do you want to come on our today show? Was it Today Extra, the one after? And again, I thought that it was just like, oh, I don't know, maybe the Gold Coast Channel 9 or whatever. And it was like, no, we'll fly you to Sydney. We want you to talk on Today Extra with David Campbell and oh my God, I've forgotten the lady's name. And
00:10:35
Speaker
They flew us down to Sydney, me and Tara, and put us on the Today Extra Show and showed all these snippets of stage mums in the making of it and
00:10:46
Speaker
I'd totally forgotten about that. Yeah. So cool too, because that essentially was on TV. And that was just another part of your manifestation where you were like, I want this to be on TV and I accept this or something better. So you got that and better things as well. You never thought you would be interviewed on today extra, but because you had surrendered being like, whatever good is going to come from this, I'm here and I'm ready. I'm open. More opportunities came. Yeah.
00:11:13
Speaker
And also I felt like I owed it to all those people that had been involved. I really wanted it for them as well, not just for me. It became all these people believed in me. They believed in my project. I want this to be as successful as it can be so that so many people out there have the opportunity to see it, see what these people can do and laugh. And again, that's you just focusing on
00:11:41
Speaker
the highest good for all, like what's gonna make everyone happier? What's going to like spread love, spread positivity? Like you can't argue with that. Love and fear can't coexist and you chose love. So when you choose fear, like it's not gonna work out. But of course there was fear, like talk about maybe the fear side of things. Like what were you feeling? Oh my God, I thought I was a fraud. I was like, what am I? I'm just like this housewife that's like brought together all these professional people
00:12:11
Speaker
And they're all here filming something that I wrote just from having a bit of fun. Like, oh my God, they're going to know I'm a fraud. And I was freaking out. You know, I had a massive panic attack when we were filming. And what do you think those feelings of anxiety were coming from? And what was your inner voice telling you? I think it was like that imposter syndrome. Yeah. Yeah. So just not feeling good enough?
00:12:40
Speaker
Yeah, just like I've tricked all these people, they're going to find out. They're flying up from Melbourne and these ones are flying from Sydney and oh my God. And what did you think they were going to find out?
00:12:51
Speaker
that it was just a big joke. Like Anna doesn't know what the hell she's doing. This is going to be a flop. Yeah. Yeah. And how did you cope with the panic attacks and the anxiety that came along with it? Not very well. Hey, you helped me a lot. No, but you did. Like you got through. Oh, I did get through it. I went to a nice naturopath and got natural things meditated, you know, just tried to stop that.
00:13:22
Speaker
the ego side of me, telling me that I wasn't good enough. Yeah. Yeah. It was, it was hard. And what would you maybe say to other people who are striving for something big and then it happens and then they are so fearful of when it's happening because it's big and it's scary, but it's what they wanted. Yeah. Maybe when I was manifesting, I wasn't manifesting the actual making of it.
00:13:49
Speaker
I was manifesting the end product, which was it being on TV, right? But maybe I needed to manifest or not manifest, what's the word, like visualize the process of all these people coming together and of us filming. And if I'd maybe visualized that, then my whole mental state and body would have been ready. It wouldn't have been so overwhelming. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's really good advice actually. So,
00:14:18
Speaker
thinking about the whole process. And I think a lot of the time when we are manifesting, we're manifesting the end product. We're manifesting the car or the money or, you know, the friendship or whatever it is. But what about the process of getting there so that when you are in that process, say if you are manifesting a new friend, if you're in the process of getting to know someone and you're all of a sudden feeling like overwhelmed because they want to like hang out all the time or just a random example, but
00:14:45
Speaker
If you had visualized the amount that you want to hang out and the places that you want to hang out, of course, with being flexible as well, I accept this or something totally better, totally different, that is still, you know, good for me. I think that's a really good piece of advice. Like don't just visualize the end. Because it might be a dream that is so big.
00:15:05
Speaker
That's scary. Yeah. And your dreams are supposed to scare you. And I think if your dreams don't scare you, they're probably not big enough and you're sitting in your comfort zone too much. And we can sit in our comfort zones. Good things do come from comfort zones, but nothing like exhilarating and incredible comes from comfort zones.
00:15:22
Speaker
It's a very good piece of advice. Thank you, darling. I do give good advice. You do. So let's talk about the visualization process because with your manifestation, this particular one, you didn't really use the traditional steps, which I really like. You basically did just use visualization and it goes to show
00:15:41
Speaker
how powerful just visualizing something is. And when I say you just use visualization, you also took inspired action. You weren't just sitting on the couch visualizing stage moms on a TV. You were also taking steps. So let's talk about the visualization side of things.
00:15:58
Speaker
Well, like I said, I visualized it on TV and that was my end goal. And I was a bit like a dog with a bone, I guess. You were focused and you were like, I want this or something better. I know I've already said that a few times, but that is such an important part when you're manifesting is being really focused on what you want, but still letting go of the idea that it could be something else. And it might, you may not have ever thought of it.
00:16:28
Speaker
Yeah, and I mean, the thing was, to me, seeing a web series on television was so stupid, because web series aren't on television. And I have no idea why, at that time, Network 10 decided to just try a couple of web series. So there was me and, well, not me, stage mums and, I don't know, maybe two others that they tried at that time.
00:16:53
Speaker
I have no idea why. And it was just everything collided perfectly for me at that time. I know why. Because you manifested it. Maybe those other people did too. And it was all happening at the same time. Yeah. Well, it's energy attracting energy. It's so exciting. Like it's so magical. And it just goes to show every time you manifest something, it's like, oh my gosh, like you're so powerful. You can manifest anything.
00:17:19
Speaker
But of course, some things have certain limiting beliefs attached to them or some things are hard, you know, so it makes some things harder to attract. So visualization, I've had people ask me, I don't actually understand how to visualize. And people say, oh, this is a silly question, but I don't think it's a silly question. How do you, like, do you do it through meditation? Do you do it when you're, you know, when you were sitting on the couch watching TV?
00:17:45
Speaker
I don't know. I think it's really important to have quiet time, like go for a walk or meditate or like I pray. I pray to God. I pray to my mum who died when you were just one. Um, and the angels, just a group of angels out there. I talk to them all the time.
00:18:05
Speaker
But I think it's really important to have quiet time where maybe you're just sitting, staring at the beach or going for a walk and just let things come to you and then picture them clearly. I don't know. I remember sitting on the couch when I was pregnant with you and looking at these glass doors and seeing you as a teenager open the door. And I was like, Oh my God, like there she is. There's the blonde girl I'm going to have.
00:18:34
Speaker
Like just, I don't know, you just let things come to you. Yeah, and don't be afraid of kind of what's coming. And I guess trusting what you're seeing, because sometimes like when I'm meditating or walking along the beach and an idea comes to me, sometimes it can be really weird or like not exciting or kind of stupid. But
00:18:59
Speaker
you know, those are the ideas that could change your life one day. Yeah. Yeah. So writing them down, taking note of the coincidences of repetition. Yeah. Yeah. Coincidences. And sometimes I have dreams. I've always had things like that, but when my life gets too busy, they don't come.
00:19:21
Speaker
And so it's really, I was so much better at this when I was younger before I had responsibilities and life was too busy. I think that I had lots of dreams and little thoughts that would pop into my head that would come to fruition a lot more than when, when I was really busy. Yeah.
00:19:44
Speaker
So after you had all of this success with Stage Moms, you know, you achieved a huge goal for you. At that time, that goal was the biggest thing that you could achieve. And you, I know that you were just so proud and so excited as you should have been. And then what happened after that? Like, did you set more goals? Yes. So then we decided to write half hour episodes, eight half hour episodes, which was huge. That's, you know,
00:20:14
Speaker
I'm like, Oh, Hey, I'm not a writer. I can't do this. And you know, all that imposter nonsense that comes in, I got you to help, um, which was the best thing ever. So that helped because I had your support. And then we got an awesome script editor. We ended up with these great scripts.
00:20:35
Speaker
you know, fast forward, we were ready to go into production for the half hour episodes and then COVID happened. Yes. So when COVID happened, it kind of all, it didn't fall apart, but it did essentially for that to go into production like that month. So since then, yeah, look, it made everything difficult. Investors fell over, branding support fell over and the three years have just been us trying
00:21:04
Speaker
to put those things back together again to be able to go into production and it's been a struggle and it's been hard and it's so different to when we did the web series that came so easily. Yeah.
00:21:18
Speaker
I'm just getting road blocked constantly. And I think we've been so confused about why it has been so hard because the first part of this journey was so easy and effortless. And, you know, we'll do our cards and we'll ask for guidance and there is a block that we are still working on.
00:21:38
Speaker
Something that I like to think about is how we set these goals and we achieve a goal. And at the time it's the most amazing thing ever. And you're so proud. And then you set a new one and it might not go in our case, it might not go the way that we had hoped. And it almost takes away from that first goal that you achieved and were so excited about. Did that kind of happen for you a little bit?
00:22:02
Speaker
Yeah, and I think that happens with life altogether. You achieve things in your past constantly and then you forget what those achievements were. And I hate how with media, you know, they call people has-beens.
00:22:19
Speaker
And it's so awful. It's like, yeah, but they achieved that. And that was something really momentous. Don't call them a has-been. Just because time has passed. Yeah. That was still an amazing thing they did. And they are still that person that achieved that. So they're not a has-been. They're still there. That's just part of their journey. And they might do something amazing again later, but it might not be in the public eye. Yeah.
00:22:45
Speaker
Yeah, exactly. Yeah, I think we need to remind ourselves that when we do set new goals, to not get defeated and think that you are a failure completely, look back at what you have achieved to get to this point. And I think with us, with stage mums, the first goal, like going back to that first goal, the first goal was to
00:23:06
Speaker
create roles for ourselves to have fun with the people in the industry that we loved and trusted and make something funny to make people laugh. That was it and we did it. Yes, of course, then we got more opportunities to create longer episodes and it was so exciting and we thought, this is it. This is gonna take off our acting and writing careers in a way that is so perfect for us because we get to work together and it's on comedy, it's we get to hire people that we love.
00:23:35
Speaker
And look, it's still probably going to happen. It's not over, but it has been really hard. So I guess just dissecting why it's been hard and what we're doing wrong. And I think some of the elements that we are doing, I don't want to say wrong, but a little bit, they aren't aligning is the fact that
00:23:55
Speaker
it all got a bit overwhelming and we weren't focusing back on that number one goal and things were getting a bit big and scary. And we were letting imposter syndrome come in and we were listening into that voice of fear. Yeah. And you do, you know, like to create eight half hour episodes is when you start visualizing how that's going to happen. It's scary as
00:24:19
Speaker
And I think that fear of success is a real thing, whether it's getting that new job or that new house. There's so many things in our lives that if you are successful to achieve those things, it's really scary how you're going to actually cope. Yeah. And I think maybe because you did have those
00:24:42
Speaker
feelings of anxiety the first time around your subconscious is probably trying to protect you going don't do this because you're going to get anxious again and that's just trying to protect you but really it's doing the opposite because it's stopping you from moving forward and I'm not saying that's why you know the next season hasn't come to play there's so many different elements and I know it will in the right way for us yeah and I think one bit I'm proud of is that we have stayed very strong to
00:25:09
Speaker
what we know and believe the project to be. We just haven't let it happen in ways that are smaller or less than we know that it deserves. And if it doesn't get made in the way that we want it to, that's okay as well. I guess we're surrendering.
00:25:26
Speaker
We are. We're surrendering. And it has been tough as well. Like, I can't count the amount of times we've cried and, you know, over this next, the longest series, it's been, you know, we've been feeling pretty defeated, but we have a choice as well to feel defeated and to stay down or we have a choice to pick back up and try our best. Yeah. So you were saying before that when you manifest, you ask,
00:25:54
Speaker
your mum who's my nanny waters, your angels, your guardian angels.
Spiritual Connections and Guidance
00:25:59
Speaker
So what do you kind of feel when you talk to them? Like talk us through like your beliefs, I guess. So I was brought up Catholic, so I don't go to church anymore, but I'd strongly believe in God.
00:26:13
Speaker
and a higher power. I call it God, but you can call it whatever you want or the universe. So I talked to that being, but after mum died, I talked to her like she was here. It's like a conversation and I have always talked to her.
00:26:32
Speaker
And I don't know. It's just like having a conversation with someone you love. Yeah. Chatting with them and asking them to help you or to watch over. I always get her to watch over you and Joey. Um, that's your brother. Yes. Oh yes. I have a brother called Joey everyone. Um, and I guess too, I wanted to talk about this because I also talk to Nanny Waters and I have a very deep connection with her, which is,
00:27:01
Speaker
Kind of strange because she did pass away when I was one so I never got to know her but I cannot explain the strong connection that I feel with her and that I have always felt with her and You have a bit of a story as well. Yeah, it's just it's so lovely that you have that connection with her like when So you were one when when mum died?
00:27:27
Speaker
and trying not to get emotional. So one morning you were sitting in your high chair demanding food because that's what I do. That's what you always do more, more. You always used to say, um, and mum had died and there was just this overwhelming feeling when I looked at you and I'm feeding you food that mum had just gone into you, which I know she,
00:27:56
Speaker
I know you already have your own soul but I just felt like she came in and was a part of you somehow. It's quite bizarre and it was such a strong overwhelming feeling and even now as an adult sometimes when you're talking to me I'm like
00:28:14
Speaker
Hang on, is this Cleo telling me this or is this mum speaking through Cleo because you mother me a lot? And it is like sometimes mum is just talking through you to me and it's a very weird but very strong feeling that I've had ever since she died that she came into you in some way.
00:28:36
Speaker
Yeah and it's weird because I feel that too and even like when I was so young I just remember like you talking about her and me just being like yeah I know like I just I knew yeah I felt like I knew everything there was about her even though like really never
00:28:52
Speaker
met her when I did I was a baby I don't remember but I do yeah so yeah I wanted to bring this conversation up because it's a bit a bit of a different conversation for the pass around the smile podcast and we might have people that don't resonate with you know higher powers or angels or loved ones that have passed on but we might have people that need to hear this that um you know that there have been some kind of strong feelings or energy moving around them that maybe it is someone that you love that's in heaven or
00:29:22
Speaker
or just an angel or a spirit guide.
00:29:25
Speaker
you know, some type. Yeah. So yeah, it's pretty cool. And there are some really cool and crazy stories out there. But I mean, I feel so lucky to have that connection with her. And I know when I've meditated, I have like, I don't know. And again, this is going to seem really woo woo. And there are so many parts of Nanny Waters in that she's got a huge family. So many parts of her would be in so many different people within the family.
00:29:53
Speaker
and I don't know whether it's because I meditate a lot and I just feel it stronger or what but yeah like when I meditate I can literally see her and feel her like within my energy like it's weird like she's like yeah it's so weird it sounds weird to say someone's a part of my soul or something but she is and then sometimes too when I am mothering you when I'm speaking to you I will kind of sometimes walk away and be like
00:30:19
Speaker
That was weird. Like, where did that come from? Or, you know, like that didn't really sound like me, but like, I know it, it is me, but maybe it is her coming through. I'm not sure, but it's pretty cool. Yeah. And coming through with love, it's not like you've been taken over by an, you know, an otherworldly presence because that's another thing altogether. And that can be really scary. This is, this is a loving energy that,
00:30:46
Speaker
you can call on and know that it's there to help you. And there are times I actually do feel that she's not there like yeah within me as well and I'll have to like call on her because she's you know she's a busy woman like I said she's got a big family like she's here there and everywhere she can't always be like with me or with you or you know but um I've
00:31:10
Speaker
found myself feeling like a little bit empty, like when she's not. And then when I call on her and when I feel that she's there, I like feel kind of full. Yeah. It's really weird. Yeah. Yeah. It's just always been like a part of me since I was so little. It's just weird. It's kind of, it's, do you say inexplainable or unexplainable?
00:31:28
Speaker
Inexplicable. Oh, it's that inexplicable. It's that. And then I don't know if I've actually shared this story on the podcast yet, but maybe I'll just share it now, which is that time that I was going to America for the third time. And I was like, I really, I don't want to go. Like I, should I go? Should I not? I'm confused. I need guidance. Like, please, like Nanny Waters, just show me anything. Like show me something. And I started finding these five cent pieces everywhere. And that
00:31:56
Speaker
you know kind of sounds weird because it's like yeah five cent people do just drop five cent pieces or they leave them here and there but i'm talking in a couple of days i filled up a small jar like and they were on like i'd go to sit in my car and there was one on my car seat and i was like i know that wasn't there before like where did this come from um i would go to you know um self-serve and they'd be like
00:32:18
Speaker
seven five cent pieces in there anyway so it was happening and i was like i don't know what this means but i know that i'm being guided somehow that something is trying well someone is trying to tell me something most likely nanny waters and then i got home and i was still confused because i was like what are finding five cent pieces mean and i was like i was getting to like two or three days until i leave i better get my suitcase down which i hadn't
00:32:42
Speaker
touched in ages, like a year or so. So I reached up to top of my cupboard, got my suitcase down. As I opened the suitcase, there was a five cent piece sitting in the middle of the suitcase and then my nanny waters teddy from the cupboard fell into the suitcase.
00:33:00
Speaker
So for my listeners my Nanny Waters teddy was Nanny gave me this teddy when I was born and I just always called it Nanny Waters and when I was a kid I'd sleep with it every night and it had been up in my cupboard for you know a long time as like an adult like I don't sleep with the teddy anymore and it literally fell into the suitcase and on to the five cent piece and that trip was the trip that I
00:33:24
Speaker
You know, was the best one was the best one. Well, Beyonce, come on. But a lot more than just Beyonce. It was a realization that I can manifest and that I can share this with the world. So really, it was the start of pass around the smile. Yeah, which is so crazy.
00:33:39
Speaker
Yeah because yeah when you went on that trip that's when you thought it up hey. Yeah yeah yeah yeah. Oh well I reckon we can probably end there. Do you have do you have a quote a favorite quote at the moment? Um not really I just think that
00:33:56
Speaker
we should do what makes us laugh and bring us joy. I don't know. It's not much of a quote. Find what makes you happy. And I guess there probably will be listeners being like, yeah, but I don't know what makes me happy. And all I can say to that is I've been there as well. And what I do when I'm in that, I go back to little Anna on a swing. I had a swing when I was little.
00:34:22
Speaker
Swinging and singing and just out in the garden looking around and I just loved singing and imagining. Imagining and playing. Playful and fun energy. I think it's find that little inner child and what you used to love doing. Yeah. And for me it was making up stories and singing.
00:34:48
Speaker
And I think people too, they think that they have to do that, like the playful fun thing for a career as well. And for some people, yes, that is what you're meant to do. But for some people, their career is...
00:35:04
Speaker
just to make money. And you know, I'm hoping you don't hate your career. I don't think anyone should hate their job, but it might just be something that you do do for money. And then on the weekends, you do have the money to be that playful, fun person that you so badly want to be. And I think as long as that weekend or that weeknight or whatever fills you up and takes is stronger than your, you know,
00:35:28
Speaker
I don't know what I was going to say there.
Finding Joy in Hobbies
00:35:31
Speaker
Yeah, because you've got to have hobbies. You can't just work to exist, to earn the money to live. That's boring. You've got to do what makes your soul and heart happy. And they are the hobbies that maybe you enjoyed as a kid.
00:35:48
Speaker
if they become your career, that's awesome. But they may just be hobbies, fun things that you love doing. Yeah. And that, I think what I was trying to say is when you're doing those hobbies or when you are filling yourself up in ways that work for you, then that like loving, good vibration will overflow into your work life in other ways as well.
00:36:10
Speaker
that you won't kind of know that you won't because you're you're full you're feeling happy so you're going to work happy because of what you did on the weekend or because of what you did last night so yeah like if it's meant to be your career amazing and if it's not amazing as well yeah
00:36:25
Speaker
Um, I think what we will do is pull a card from my very new deck, which when this episode comes out, it's launch day. So I will grab the deck.
Conclusion and Maternal Healing Card
00:36:36
Speaker
Okay. So I have the beautiful new deck here. This will be your first reading with the new deck. It's very pretty. That's so pretty. This isn't my deck, like my deck, if that makes sense. So this might not be completely in tune reading, but this is the deck.
00:36:56
Speaker
Alright, what do we need to talk about to end this podcast? Oh my god! We got the maternal card. Spend time and energy around motherly healing. Check in with your feelings toward the maternal figures in your life and yourself as a maternal being.
00:37:19
Speaker
Oh, I can't believe we pulled that. Oh my God. That's you and me. I know, they're elephants. We don't even need to talk about that because that's just pretty incredible that we pulled that on a Mother Daughter podcast. Oh my God. Well, thank you for coming on. I hope you enjoyed it and I'll see you in two minutes when we have morning tea. Thanks for listening, everyone.
