00:00:02.680 --> 00:00:03.960
A listener production.

2
00:00:08.199 --> 00:00:10.960
Hi, you're listening to Crappy to Happy. I'm your host,

3
00:00:11.039 --> 00:00:14.199
Cas Dunn. I'm a clinical and coaching psychologist, a mindfulness

4
00:00:14.199 --> 00:00:17.160
meditation teacher, and author of the Crappy to Happy books.

5
00:00:17.679 --> 00:00:19.640
In this series, we talk about all the things that

6
00:00:19.719 --> 00:00:21.839
might be making you feel crappy, and she had tools

7
00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:25.160
and tips to help you overcome them. In each episode,

8
00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:29.600
I chat with interesting, inspiring, intelligent people who are experts

9
00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:31.960
in their field. And my hope is that you take

10
00:00:32.039 --> 00:00:35.000
something away from these conversations that helps you feel a

11
00:00:35.079 --> 00:00:35.679
little bit.

12
00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:37.079
Less crappy and more happy.

13
00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:41.320
Today, I am thrilled to bring you a conversation with Ozzie.

14
00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:47.560
Surfing legend Lane Beachley Blaine has achieved extraordinary and groundbreaking

15
00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:51.119
success in her chosen sport, amassing a total of eight

16
00:00:51.560 --> 00:00:55.520
world championship titles. She's also been a force for positive

17
00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:58.840
change in the world with her charities and ambassador positions,

18
00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:02.679
allowing her to channel her boundless energy into a variety

19
00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:06.359
of causes that deeply matter to her in both her

20
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:11.000
personal and professional life. Lane's journey hasn't been without its challenges.

21
00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:14.319
She's learned firsthand what it is to be motivated from

22
00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:17.359
a place of fear and the downsides of that kind

23
00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:21.719
of motivation and success. Fortunately, she's also learned a lot

24
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:24.359
of lessons along the way about how to reconnect with

25
00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:28.079
love and joy as a source of motivation, the power

26
00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:32.159
of vulnerability, and the importance of asking for help. Today,

27
00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:35.640
Lane is generously sharing some of those lessons for our benefit,

28
00:01:35.959 --> 00:01:38.000
and if you're interested to learn more from Lane about

29
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:40.599
how to awaken your own truth and take inspired action

30
00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:43.680
in your life, She's offering a sneaky discount on her

31
00:01:43.719 --> 00:01:46.040
online program, which I will share with you at the

32
00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:49.359
end of the show. Justa heads up that towards the

33
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:51.519
end of this episode there is a brief reference to

34
00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:54.359
sexual assault, so please be mindful if that's a topic

35
00:01:54.519 --> 00:02:00.159
that might cause you distress. Let's hear from Lane. I mean,

36
00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:02.359
let's just start with a bit of your background. You

37
00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:07.120
are I surfing legend in this country and around the world.

38
00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:14.280
You are six consecutive world titles. The only surfer male

39
00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:15.080
or female.

40
00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:16.680
To have won six consecutive world titles.

41
00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:20.000
Went back in one of seventh and I didn't realize

42
00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:22.759
until recently went back again just a couple of years

43
00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:27.439
ago and won the World Masters championships. So I guess

44
00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:30.759
my first question for our listeners is where do you

45
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:34.680
find that motivation? What motivates you to push yourself to

46
00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:36.240
those levels of success.

47
00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:39.360
That's a very good question, and it comes down to

48
00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:41.319
my intrinsic motivation.

49
00:02:41.479 --> 00:02:41.680
You know.

50
00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:45.360
I don't do it for external validation or to win

51
00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:48.000
more awards and more trophies, even though that's a great

52
00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:49.560
result and a byproduct of it.

53
00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:51.800
But I do it whole highly.

54
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:53.759
Because I want to do it and because I'm willing

55
00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:56.719
to do the work to generate the results I expect

56
00:02:56.759 --> 00:02:57.319
of myself.

57
00:02:57.639 --> 00:02:58.919
And I love to challenge myself.

58
00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:00.680
I love to step outside of my comfort zone, and

59
00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:03.879
I expand on my comfort zone by doing things that

60
00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:04.840
make me uncomfortable.

61
00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:05.280
Yeah.

62
00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:06.919
Well that's a really interesting answer.

63
00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:08.639
I was going to ask you, is this something that

64
00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:11.199
you feel like you were born with? Like, is this

65
00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:14.159
something that is intrinsic to you or is it something

66
00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:17.400
that you have learned or developed over time.

67
00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:20.120
Definitely something I've learned and developed over time.

68
00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:22.960
I mean I was probably born with a fighting.

69
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:24.759
Spirit, or maybe I even developed that when.

70
00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:26.520
I was in the humidic group for six weeks fighting

71
00:03:26.520 --> 00:03:28.680
for my life off because I was a premature baby,

72
00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:31.560
and I feel that that's probably where my fighting spirit

73
00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:34.319
emanated from. However, I was able to channel that into

74
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:38.159
becoming a world champion surfer and use it to my advantage.

75
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:41.319
The reason I retired from the pro tour was because

76
00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:44.479
I didn't really want to do the work anymore. Like

77
00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:46.520
I wasn't willing to do the training, and I wasn't

78
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:49.280
willing to deal with the expectations and all of the

79
00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:51.479
stuff that comes with being a professional athlete.

80
00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:54.639
I just wasn't ready to step up and continue to

81
00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:56.120
do that. So that's why I walked away.

82
00:03:56.159 --> 00:03:59.639
However, to win the Masters World Championship, it was just

83
00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:01.719
something that seemed like a bit of fun and an

84
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:04.000
opportunity to catch out with all my friends and peers and.

85
00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:05.800
See a part of the world I've never been to.

86
00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:09.439
And I must have only put maybe three days of

87
00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:12.960
training into that. Yeah, but then I have a trophy

88
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:15.919
room full of a reminder of what I've endured and

89
00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:19.560
how I've succeeded. And you know, experience is a wonderful

90
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:22.720
platform to resort back to and rely on in times

91
00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:23.600
when you really need it.

92
00:04:23.959 --> 00:04:25.680
I find that really interesting when you say I have

93
00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:26.480
a trophy room.

94
00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:29.959
Do you mean so I have all of this evidence

95
00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:33.120
that I can do this. I've got this and I

96
00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:35.759
don't need to stress myself about this.

97
00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:38.639
Yes, yes, we have a trophy room, and it's a

98
00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:39.040
pool room.

99
00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:41.399
There's a pool table in there, and there's just well

100
00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:44.160
there's trophies everywhere, and then there's framed records in excess

101
00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:45.879
records all around as well. So there's a lot of

102
00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:46.920
memorability in this room.

103
00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:48.399
But yes, that sounds like a great room.

104
00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:49.519
It's a great room.

105
00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:54.920
And there's a bar, a very well equipped bar, an allowance. Yes,

106
00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:57.480
it's all about balance, a lot of shot glasses, and

107
00:04:57.759 --> 00:05:00.560
it's a wonderful environment to walk into. I often say

108
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:02.519
that if I'm ever having a self pity party, for one,

109
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:04.639
I walk into that environment and just go, you know what,

110
00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:07.600
I've done pretty good. I've lived a great life and

111
00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:10.720
I've had some amazing experiences, and it's a reminder of

112
00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:13.639
all the things that I have achieved, because it's just

113
00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:16.000
as easy to block out all the crappy stuff as

114
00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:19.160
it is to remember all the happy stuff, and that

115
00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:21.600
for me going in there, it's a reminder of both,

116
00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:23.920
but of the results I can produce when I really

117
00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:27.560
put my heart and soul into something and dedicate myself

118
00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:28.439
to achieving something.

119
00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:31.199
Whenever I talk to people like you who have achieved

120
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:33.879
success at such a high level, I always want to

121
00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:37.800
ask you, know, we all have these self doubts and

122
00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:40.519
fears and I'm not good enough, and there's always somebody

123
00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:44.240
to compare ourselves to, somebody who's doing better. I'm always

124
00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:47.959
interested to know do you or have you experienced those

125
00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:50.920
kinds of fears and self doubts, and then how do

126
00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:53.000
you turn that around and overcome them?

127
00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:57.120
Absolutely, and I still experience those fears and self doubts.

128
00:05:57.360 --> 00:05:59.720
I reflect back on different periods of my career and

129
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:02.279
think about when I first joined the pro Tour.

130
00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:06.079
I felt immediately inadequate.

131
00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:09.319
And unprofessional because I looked at the fitness and the

132
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:12.519
health of my peers and my counterparts, and I thought, wow,

133
00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:14.439
I'm never going to measure up to that. So that

134
00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:18.839
comparison immediately led to a sense of inadequacy. And so

135
00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:22.519
I've noticed over my life that the one thing that

136
00:06:22.560 --> 00:06:25.920
makes me doubt myself is comparison. If I'm comparing myself

137
00:06:25.959 --> 00:06:29.319
to somebody else, I'm comparing myself to a future version

138
00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:32.959
of myself or a historical version of myself. I'm not

139
00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:36.439
going to be enough in the present moment. And if

140
00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:40.920
I'm doing that, it's also a trigger or a I

141
00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:43.120
guess triggers the right word here. It's a trigger to

142
00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:47.839
me to go, Okay, something's wrong because I'm either when

143
00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:51.480
I'm confident and when I feel when I'm centered in myself,

144
00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:55.279
I'm not looking outside of myself for validation. I'm very

145
00:06:56.480 --> 00:06:59.319
congruent with where I'm at and who i am. I've

146
00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:03.399
always lived a life according to my values, and except

147
00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:05.639
for the times when I've compromised them and made some

148
00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:06.680
really big mistakes and.

149
00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:08.120
Live to regret them.

150
00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:13.759
But ultimately, when I'm very centered and very balanced, then

151
00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:17.160
I'm not comparing myself. But the minute that I start

152
00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:19.720
to compare myself and then start to feel that sense

153
00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:22.879
of inaccuracy, that's a trigger to me go, Okay, something's

154
00:07:22.920 --> 00:07:25.120
going wrong here. So you're either worn out, or you're

155
00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:27.160
going too hard, or you're not taking care of.

156
00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:28.639
Yourself, you're not getting enough sleep.

157
00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:32.639
That's the opportunity for me to then put the mirror

158
00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:35.000
back on myself and ask myself what's leading to this.

159
00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:38.480
Yeah, that's a great level of self awareness to have

160
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:41.040
to be able to notice that, like you say, it's

161
00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:41.600
like a queue.

162
00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:43.319
Yes, that's the word, thank you.

163
00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:47.680
To tell yourself that, yeah, I've got to come back

164
00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:50.600
and recenter and work out where the problem is so

165
00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:51.600
that I can take steps.

166
00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:54.079
Yes, I didn't have that sense of self awareness in

167
00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:56.040
the early years of my professional career. You know, the

168
00:07:56.079 --> 00:07:59.240
first probably seven years of my professional surfing life, I

169
00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:02.680
certainly didn't have that level of awareness. So what that

170
00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:05.720
turns into is a lay blame game. So therefore it's

171
00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:07.360
everyone else's fault, and then.

172
00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:10.800
I get and then I've become very fierce and quite

173
00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:14.120
driven by my.

174
00:08:14.240 --> 00:08:17.839
Rejection issue that was deeply ingrained with me from being

175
00:08:17.839 --> 00:08:21.079
an adoptee. So I then behaved in a way that

176
00:08:21.160 --> 00:08:23.240
rejected people, or behaved in a way that gave them

177
00:08:23.279 --> 00:08:26.000
reason to reject me. Either way, it was fueled around

178
00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:27.199
fear and rejection.

179
00:08:27.879 --> 00:08:29.279
And then it was everyone else's fault.

180
00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:31.120
There was the judge's fold and my peers folded, and

181
00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:33.000
my equipment's folder was everyone else's fault.

182
00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:35.080
And this sucks and I hate this and this is shit,

183
00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:36.159
and yeah.

184
00:08:36.039 --> 00:08:39.919
I became a little misnegative and didn't have the awareness

185
00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:41.679
to take ownership of it at that stage.

186
00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:43.799
I'm really glad that you mentioned that, because I was

187
00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:47.919
going to ask you about some of those early experiences before.

188
00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:49.960
I do though, when you say when you joined the

189
00:08:49.960 --> 00:08:53.679
pro surfing circuit, you didn't have that self awareness and

190
00:08:53.759 --> 00:08:55.879
you were engaged in a lot of comparison.

191
00:08:55.919 --> 00:08:58.159
How old were you when you joined the pro circuit?

192
00:08:58.480 --> 00:08:58.879
Eighteen?

193
00:08:59.320 --> 00:09:02.519
So quite young, very young, very young.

194
00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:07.039
So understandably those are lessons learned with time and experience.

195
00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:09.919
It's amazing how bulletproof and knowledgeable you are at eighteen.

196
00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:14.480
It's a fresh out of high school. I know everything.

197
00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:19.519
I hit my thirties and realized I know nothing. My goodness,

198
00:09:19.559 --> 00:09:20.720
I got so much to learn.

199
00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:26.960
Solene, you had some really difficult early experiences. I wasn't

200
00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:30.080
aware of the Humidy crib, but I was aware that

201
00:09:30.159 --> 00:09:35.360
you lost your mum at a very early age six

202
00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:38.360
when your mom passed away, I was, and then shortly

203
00:09:38.440 --> 00:09:40.000
after found out that.

204
00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:40.759
You were adopted.

205
00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:41.679
Correct.

206
00:09:41.919 --> 00:09:45.000
Yes, I think it's fair to say we mostly only

207
00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:49.320
realized appreciate the enormity of things like that when we

208
00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:52.080
get older. But do you recall how that affected you

209
00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:54.799
at that age, how you process that as a child.

210
00:09:55.440 --> 00:09:56.759
Yeah, I recall how I felt.

211
00:09:56.799 --> 00:10:00.000
I didn't I don't really recall how deeply it affects

212
00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:02.120
did me at the time. And as you say, when

213
00:10:02.159 --> 00:10:05.679
we have the wisdom and the experience to reflect back

214
00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:09.080
on that period and you can determine the catalyst that

215
00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:11.159
it was. I know when my mom died, it was

216
00:10:11.159 --> 00:10:13.039
deeply distressing. It was heartbreaking.

217
00:10:14.320 --> 00:10:18.240
I had nightmares. I cried a lot. I know I

218
00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:19.080
missed her a lot.

219
00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:22.799
But I was also a very independent tomboy that relished

220
00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:24.600
with her freedom to go and play and.

221
00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:27.120
Experience and fall out of trees and break bones, and

222
00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:28.759
that never resulted in a lawsuit.

223
00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:30.919
I was able to just go and play and have fun.

224
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:34.440
And so that was my solace as a kid, and

225
00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:35.799
it's still to this day is my.

226
00:10:35.799 --> 00:10:38.039
Solace as an adult as well. You know, when I'm.

227
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:41.960
Feeling distressed or unhappy or sad, or needing to process

228
00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:44.720
emotions and fears, the first place I resort to is nature,

229
00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:47.120
and either the ocean or the bush.

230
00:10:47.159 --> 00:10:48.279
Primarily it's the ocean.

231
00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:51.600
Because where I live, so a law of proximity gives

232
00:10:51.679 --> 00:10:52.720
me the benefit of the doubt.

233
00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:56.320
When my dad told me I was adopted, it.

234
00:10:56.240 --> 00:10:58.840
Was a completely different feeling, and that was because I

235
00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:02.279
was older and I had the brain waves to then

236
00:11:02.399 --> 00:11:05.240
go from being a narcissist.

237
00:11:04.720 --> 00:11:05.360
To a victim.

238
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:08.399
So what that looked like is when my mom died,

239
00:11:08.440 --> 00:11:12.279
it wasn't my fault. Well, yeah, no, it wasn't my fault,

240
00:11:12.279 --> 00:11:14.600
but it was happening to me. But when my dad

241
00:11:14.639 --> 00:11:17.480
told me I was adopted, it was my fault. And

242
00:11:17.799 --> 00:11:20.519
what that looks like is that he's telling me, you know,

243
00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:22.080
I love you and you're my baby girl, and we

244
00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:24.879
always wanted you. However you don't. You're not a blood relation.

245
00:11:25.039 --> 00:11:27.440
And the stories I subscribe to in my own mind

246
00:11:27.480 --> 00:11:30.159
where I've been abandoned, rejected, and I'm undeserving of love.

247
00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:34.399
So the stories that we tell ourselves then trigger a

248
00:11:34.399 --> 00:11:38.000
certain emotional response which then feels a behavioral response which

249
00:11:38.039 --> 00:11:40.240
then determines the results or of you know, you become

250
00:11:40.279 --> 00:11:42.639
the self fulfilling prophecy of the story that you create.

251
00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:45.279
Fortunately, the story I created.

252
00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:46.799
Was hang on, if I'm not deserving of love, I

253
00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:48.840
have to become a world champion, because then I will

254
00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:51.279
be deserving of love. And so then I'd field it

255
00:11:51.320 --> 00:11:56.000
into something very self serving, but became a whole lot

256
00:11:56.039 --> 00:11:56.519
more than that.

257
00:11:56.799 --> 00:11:58.399
I was going to ask you, how did these feelings

258
00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:02.200
have abandoned the manner fest and you've just explained that.

259
00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:05.080
So obviously some of those experiences can lead to really

260
00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:05.840
tragic outcomes.

261
00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:06.759
People can really.

262
00:12:06.559 --> 00:12:09.840
Spiral into a you know, in a negative into a

263
00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:13.879
dark place. But you really used it to fuel you to.

264
00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:18.120
Achieve, absolutely, and that tends to be a common denominator

265
00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:21.200
through people who have had pretty challenging upbringings.

266
00:12:21.240 --> 00:12:24.759
You know, they use that as a as a.

267
00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:26.960
Platform to then propel them towards success, or they use

268
00:12:27.039 --> 00:12:28.639
it as a hook to hang their shit on and

269
00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:30.360
just say I'm never going to make it because that's

270
00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:32.720
what happened to me as a kid. So it tends

271
00:12:32.759 --> 00:12:37.039
to be two very clear, definitive channels or pathways that

272
00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:37.600
we choose.

273
00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:40.840
I think what's also really typical of people who experience

274
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:44.639
the sense of abandonment. And for you, it was finding

275
00:12:44.639 --> 00:12:46.919
out that you're adopted. You know, for other people, there

276
00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:48.919
are various issues. Even the death of a parent you know,

277
00:12:49.840 --> 00:12:55.480
will lead to abandonment issues, parents with addiction or even.

278
00:12:55.360 --> 00:12:56.840
From divorce, et cetera.

279
00:12:57.000 --> 00:13:00.480
Like, there's lots of ways that this can manifest experience

280
00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:07.200
abandonment issues, they often become heavily self reliant and find

281
00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:08.679
a challenging to let people in.

282
00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:11.919
Well, I guess I'm asking. Is that true for you and.

283
00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:15.720
How is that something you had to learn to overcome

284
00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:16.799
to be able to.

285
00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:17.600
Ask for help?

286
00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:21.919
Absolutely, yes, all of that is true for me.

287
00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:26.519
I kept everybody at arms distance and I was in control.

288
00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:28.960
Trust is a big issue.

289
00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:31.120
And I would only let people in when it served me,

290
00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:34.320
and so that made it very difficult for me to

291
00:13:34.360 --> 00:13:37.080
ask for help. And I am a silent sufferer because

292
00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:39.320
there was so much shame wrapped up in being wrong

293
00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:43.519
and making mistakes and getting hurt, especially in during myself.

294
00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:49.200
When I think about the result of that behavior, it

295
00:13:49.279 --> 00:13:52.919
made my journey through life a lot more challenging than

296
00:13:52.919 --> 00:13:56.279
it needed to be, and it exacerbated the pain and

297
00:13:56.320 --> 00:13:59.039
suffering because I would stay stuck in.

298
00:13:59.000 --> 00:13:59.960
It for way too long.

299
00:14:00.360 --> 00:14:02.879
So, for example, when I had chronic fatigued the second time,

300
00:14:02.919 --> 00:14:05.240
I obviously didn't learn the first time, so the second

301
00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:09.159
time was way more debilitating, and I had depression. I

302
00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:11.559
was in suicidal thoughts with you know, I had a

303
00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:13.000
lot of suicidal tendencies.

304
00:14:14.039 --> 00:14:15.679
I had to sleep fourteen hours a day.

305
00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:18.440
I was just in a really crappy place, and I

306
00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:22.039
was a really unhappy, dark, dismal, depressed person, and I

307
00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:23.960
still didn't have the courage to ask for help.

308
00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:26.759
And it wasn't until one.

309
00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:30.120
Day I actually got scared about the situation I found

310
00:14:30.159 --> 00:14:34.120
myself in and I finally got dissatisfied with the feeling.

311
00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:38.080
I believe that dissatisfaction is the precursor to change, and

312
00:14:38.159 --> 00:14:40.639
until you get dissatisfied, you're not going to do anything different.

313
00:14:40.759 --> 00:14:41.840
So I had.

314
00:14:41.720 --> 00:14:46.000
Convinced myself that this is okay somehow, and it wasn't

315
00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:49.360
until I actually stopped and recognized how scared I was.

316
00:14:49.399 --> 00:14:51.840
I got really scared, I got dissatisfied.

317
00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:52.879
And I went, okay, I need to ask for help.

318
00:14:53.759 --> 00:14:56.879
Then the next BIGOTS challenge is knowing who to ask

319
00:14:57.559 --> 00:15:00.799
and having that netw work around you.

320
00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:02.000
After being an.

321
00:15:01.960 --> 00:15:04.879
Adoptee with a rejection case and pushing everyone away, there's

322
00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:07.120
very few people that I had the courage to call.

323
00:15:07.799 --> 00:15:12.120
And fortunately a good dear friend of mine called Joanna Griggs,

324
00:15:12.600 --> 00:15:16.200
who I knew had been through at least glandular fever,

325
00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:18.159
which is the precursor to chronic fatigue.

326
00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:20.200
So I knew she'd been through similar experiences.

327
00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:22.320
I picked up the phone and rang her and I said,

328
00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:23.720
I'm scared, I need help.

329
00:15:23.720 --> 00:15:25.759
And her response was what took you so long?

330
00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:26.200
Oh?

331
00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:27.480
Really? Yeah?

332
00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:31.679
Other people see things in ourselves that we sometimes take

333
00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:33.159
a little longer to see.

334
00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:35.879
Exactly, but you won't do anything about it until you're ready.

335
00:15:36.440 --> 00:15:39.879
I think it's really interesting too that, as you say,

336
00:15:39.960 --> 00:15:43.320
those feelings of rejection, abandonment, not asking for help, pushing

337
00:15:43.320 --> 00:15:47.279
yourself to attain the achievement almost as a form of

338
00:15:47.480 --> 00:15:48.639
validation and to.

339
00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:49.639
Boost yourself worth.

340
00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:55.159
That's positively reinforcing when you're winning and you're getting the

341
00:15:55.159 --> 00:16:00.240
gold medals, like, there's an upside to that too. There's

342
00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:03.759
obviously all of this other downside which you've just described.

343
00:16:04.200 --> 00:16:08.600
But for you, are you aware in hindsight that that

344
00:16:08.759 --> 00:16:12.120
was partly what kept you from asking for help or

345
00:16:12.159 --> 00:16:14.679
what keep for listeners? You know, it's what keeps a

346
00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:18.000
lot of people from asking for help, because there's reward

347
00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:21.480
to all of that pushing and succeeding and striving.

348
00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:26.639
The question you need to ask yourself is, firstly, what's

349
00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:27.360
wrapped up.

350
00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:28.039
In your success?

351
00:16:28.360 --> 00:16:31.279
Is your sense of self worth wrapped up in your success.

352
00:16:31.799 --> 00:16:34.919
Then secondly, do you believe that success has to be hard?

353
00:16:36.120 --> 00:16:38.240
And I was deeply invested in struggle.

354
00:16:38.759 --> 00:16:39.720
It's the whole reason.

355
00:16:39.519 --> 00:16:42.600
Why I created my academy was to help people detach

356
00:16:42.639 --> 00:16:47.120
from fear and shortcut the struggle. Because yes, I'm viewed

357
00:16:47.240 --> 00:16:49.919
and regarded as one of the most successful athletes.

358
00:16:49.519 --> 00:16:50.120
In the world.

359
00:16:50.240 --> 00:16:53.440
However, I want to ensure that people don't do it

360
00:16:53.480 --> 00:16:57.519
the way I did it because it cost me a lot. Yes,

361
00:16:57.600 --> 00:16:59.799
there's a lot of upside. I've got trophies, and I've

362
00:16:59.799 --> 00:17:04.920
got fame, and I've got success, However at what cost.

363
00:17:05.359 --> 00:17:08.119
And it cost me my quality of health, a lot

364
00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:09.480
of great relationships that.

365
00:17:09.440 --> 00:17:10.559
Are never going to be mended.

366
00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:14.279
It cost me now I'm in constant pain management because

367
00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:16.960
I didn't kind of honor my body. You know, it

368
00:17:16.960 --> 00:17:19.839
cost me a lot as well. And it can be

369
00:17:19.880 --> 00:17:23.480
done differently if you learn to trust in that. But

370
00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:26.559
trust and me really didn't go hand in hand. You know,

371
00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:30.200
adoptees and we do not trust it very easily. I mean,

372
00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:34.480
in my book, in my biography, the woman who I

373
00:17:34.480 --> 00:17:36.359
referred to as my nan who brought me up after

374
00:17:36.440 --> 00:17:39.400
Mum died, she said it took her a good eighteen

375
00:17:39.440 --> 00:17:40.359
months for me to hold.

376
00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:43.400
Her hand in public. And I'm six years of age,

377
00:17:44.079 --> 00:17:44.200
you know.

378
00:17:44.480 --> 00:17:52.079
So, Yeah, I was very strong, willed, stubborn and determined

379
00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:56.599
to do it myself, very independent, and just to prove to.

380
00:17:56.559 --> 00:17:58.839
The world that I can do this. I can do

381
00:17:58.880 --> 00:17:59.599
this on my own.

382
00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:05.839
And nobody achieved anything alone, nobody achieved anything great alone.

383
00:18:05.920 --> 00:18:08.440
And when I start to write down the list of

384
00:18:08.480 --> 00:18:10.160
all the people who have helped me in my life,

385
00:18:10.319 --> 00:18:11.480
it's pages long.

386
00:18:12.039 --> 00:18:14.680
Yeah, when you picked up the phone and you called

387
00:18:14.720 --> 00:18:17.799
Joanna and she said, what took you so long? I'm

388
00:18:17.839 --> 00:18:21.039
curious to know what were the first steps then that

389
00:18:21.119 --> 00:18:25.279
you took towards healing that and learning to do things differently.

390
00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:29.559
The first step I took was to forgive myself for

391
00:18:29.599 --> 00:18:33.880
putting myself in this situation, because by forgiving myself, I'm also.

392
00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:36.839
Taking responsibility for it. And then I.

393
00:18:36.839 --> 00:18:40.160
Recognized that it was time to do things differently, and

394
00:18:40.279 --> 00:18:42.559
I didn't know what to do, so I asked her

395
00:18:42.599 --> 00:18:44.519
for guidance, like who did you see?

396
00:18:44.680 --> 00:18:46.880
Or where do I go? And she told me.

397
00:18:46.839 --> 00:18:49.359
About a practitioner in Manly, which was nice and close

398
00:18:49.359 --> 00:18:52.240
by it to where I was living. And I had

399
00:18:52.279 --> 00:18:55.160
to go on a very strict diet yeast free, wheat free,

400
00:18:55.200 --> 00:18:58.920
sugar free, dairy free, fruit free, alcohol free diet. Yeah,

401
00:18:58.960 --> 00:19:02.960
no red meat, nothing tin can or preserved. Basically it

402
00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:05.000
was a very simple guy. There was no gluten free

403
00:19:05.000 --> 00:19:07.519
menus back in the nineties. I mean, I was referred

404
00:19:07.559 --> 00:19:08.480
to as yuppies.

405
00:19:08.160 --> 00:19:11.319
Disease, so the community had very little empathy for me.

406
00:19:11.400 --> 00:19:13.839
So of course I had very little empathy for myself,

407
00:19:13.880 --> 00:19:16.359
so that I'd beat myself up to beat people to

408
00:19:16.440 --> 00:19:19.640
the punch. And I was quite hard on myself. So

409
00:19:19.720 --> 00:19:24.839
I had to lower my expectations, boost my immune system,

410
00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:29.480
nurture myself, surround myself in love and forgiveness, and just

411
00:19:29.720 --> 00:19:30.279
ride it out.

412
00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:31.079
And I gave.

413
00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:34.079
Myself as much time as I needed to get through it,

414
00:19:34.519 --> 00:19:36.799
and then surround myself with who I referred to as

415
00:19:36.799 --> 00:19:39.759
my honesty bromenas the people who bring the best out

416
00:19:39.759 --> 00:19:42.440
in me, people who were honest with me, but people

417
00:19:42.440 --> 00:19:45.079
who console me in my defeat, celebrating my successes.

418
00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:48.200
But just see the best in me and bring the

419
00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:48.920
best out in me.

420
00:19:49.640 --> 00:19:52.759
And I've heard you say that you won the first

421
00:19:53.200 --> 00:19:58.599
six titles from a place of fear, but the seventh,

422
00:19:58.720 --> 00:20:01.000
You're in a whole different wa place. So is that

423
00:20:01.200 --> 00:20:04.000
the transition where that healing happened. And what was different

424
00:20:04.039 --> 00:20:05.279
in that seventh.

425
00:20:05.240 --> 00:20:08.319
Well, so I actually won five world titles in a

426
00:20:08.519 --> 00:20:10.519
place of fear and two in a place of love,

427
00:20:10.599 --> 00:20:12.319
And so that was world title number one and World

428
00:20:12.319 --> 00:20:14.440
time number seven. I won in a place of love,

429
00:20:14.480 --> 00:20:16.720
and well titled number two to five, I want two

430
00:20:16.720 --> 00:20:20.519
to six. I won in fear. The difference for me was,

431
00:20:20.640 --> 00:20:24.039
I loved the process. I loved the experience. I loved

432
00:20:24.079 --> 00:20:28.000
the learning, I loved the I loved the winning, and

433
00:20:28.039 --> 00:20:28.920
I loved the losing.

434
00:20:29.160 --> 00:20:30.920
And I losing taught me how to win.

435
00:20:31.480 --> 00:20:37.000
And I detached from the outcome and just followed the process,

436
00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:39.640
and therefore there was a lot more joy in it.

437
00:20:40.200 --> 00:20:41.960
And then when I won it, it was effortless.

438
00:20:42.599 --> 00:20:44.920
And when I was sitting in the water, I was

439
00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:48.599
enjoying the challenge, and I just wholeheardly immersed myself in

440
00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:52.359
the whole experience. But from world title number two to six,

441
00:20:52.759 --> 00:20:55.960
I became defined by the experience. I became defined by

442
00:20:56.000 --> 00:20:59.279
my results. And so therefore the euphoria of success was

443
00:20:59.319 --> 00:21:02.759
really high. The depths and darkness and depression of failure

444
00:21:02.880 --> 00:21:05.160
was really, really low, and so that it became this

445
00:21:05.279 --> 00:21:07.440
roller coaster ride. And that's what I wanted to teach

446
00:21:07.480 --> 00:21:10.480
people to avoid riding that roller coaster by taking the

447
00:21:10.519 --> 00:21:13.119
time to self define as opposed to being defined or

448
00:21:13.160 --> 00:21:17.039
dictated to by external circumstances and results. So when I

449
00:21:17.079 --> 00:21:18.680
came back and won the seventh one, I had to

450
00:21:18.680 --> 00:21:21.160
do it the same way when I won my first one.

451
00:21:21.119 --> 00:21:23.519
Because I had to ask myself number two to six.

452
00:21:23.359 --> 00:21:28.119
How sustainable was it? It was completely unsustainable. I had

453
00:21:29.160 --> 00:21:35.880
reoccurring injuries, I'd lost my sponsors, I had strained relationships.

454
00:21:35.200 --> 00:21:38.519
With my peers. You know, it was just hard all

455
00:21:38.640 --> 00:21:39.079
the time.

456
00:21:39.119 --> 00:21:43.240
But that was validating my subconscious belief that success.

457
00:21:42.839 --> 00:21:43.400
Had to be hard.

458
00:21:43.920 --> 00:21:44.799
Isn't that interesting?

459
00:21:44.920 --> 00:21:47.599
So ask yourself, does success have to be hard?

460
00:21:48.680 --> 00:21:50.799
Because I didn't have to look too farther through.

461
00:21:50.759 --> 00:21:51.319
To prove it.

462
00:21:52.079 --> 00:21:56.160
And so, how have you you've achieved all of this sex?

463
00:21:56.359 --> 00:21:57.359
Of six sex?

464
00:21:58.759 --> 00:22:01.880
I wish i'd achieved all this sex, but in my

465
00:22:01.960 --> 00:22:02.799
twenties and thirties.

466
00:22:02.839 --> 00:22:03.200
Definitely.

467
00:22:05.240 --> 00:22:09.599
Let's start that one from the top. So how have

468
00:22:09.640 --> 00:22:10.759
your goals changed?

469
00:22:11.160 --> 00:22:11.480
Now?

470
00:22:12.440 --> 00:22:13.079
Great question.

471
00:22:13.240 --> 00:22:16.799
My goals used to be outcome driven now, they're intrinsically

472
00:22:16.839 --> 00:22:19.119
aligned with how I want to feel. So I don't

473
00:22:19.160 --> 00:22:21.440
set a goal based on what I want to achieve anymore.

474
00:22:21.519 --> 00:22:23.599
I base it on and the same with my decision

475
00:22:23.640 --> 00:22:26.519
making framework. It's all based on how I feel and

476
00:22:26.559 --> 00:22:29.000
how I want to feel, and so that's.

477
00:22:28.799 --> 00:22:31.920
My vision for today. If you think about your values.

478
00:22:31.599 --> 00:22:33.440
As a twenty year old or a thirty year old,

479
00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:35.680
they evolve as you do as a human being, and

480
00:22:35.720 --> 00:22:37.920
so does our vision, and so do our goals for ourselves.

481
00:22:37.960 --> 00:22:40.880
So my goals are really wrapped around my standards.

482
00:22:40.880 --> 00:22:43.240
What standards do I set for myself as far as

483
00:22:43.279 --> 00:22:46.839
my health and my physical wellbeing, my emotional wellbeing, my

484
00:22:46.920 --> 00:22:49.920
mental wellbeing? And then how am I better serving the world,

485
00:22:49.920 --> 00:22:52.519
How am I bringing more knowledge and experience and wisdom

486
00:22:52.559 --> 00:22:53.000
to the world.

487
00:22:53.000 --> 00:22:55.599
How am I helping people be better versions of themselves?

488
00:22:55.720 --> 00:22:58.279
That's where I see it as far as goal setting

489
00:22:58.359 --> 00:22:58.920
is concerned.

490
00:22:59.119 --> 00:23:03.279
There seems to be the theme with people who are

491
00:23:03.359 --> 00:23:06.720
really living their best life that there is this focus

492
00:23:06.759 --> 00:23:10.359
on It shifts very much from being all about me,

493
00:23:10.519 --> 00:23:14.960
as you say, and achievement and success and outwards to

494
00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:18.359
what I can contribute. I guess I'm just opening up

495
00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:20.119
for you to talk about all of the ways that

496
00:23:20.200 --> 00:23:27.039
you now find joy and pride in service and contribution.

497
00:23:28.759 --> 00:23:32.880
Where shall I start, Well, let's start with the first

498
00:23:32.880 --> 00:23:35.400
thing is my academy, a Wake Academy, which is a

499
00:23:35.440 --> 00:23:39.279
center for self empowerment. And I created a course called

500
00:23:39.279 --> 00:23:42.160
Own Your Truth, which is pretty much the forty years

501
00:23:42.160 --> 00:23:44.680
of life lessons all wrapped up and condensed into a

502
00:23:44.720 --> 00:23:48.000
seven round online course for people to help them wake

503
00:23:48.079 --> 00:23:50.440
up and own their shit and trust in love. I

504
00:23:50.480 --> 00:23:53.240
want to help people detach from fear, take control of

505
00:23:53.279 --> 00:23:55.759
their lives, but design a life they love, versus living

506
00:23:55.759 --> 00:23:57.720
one by default, which was what I was doing a

507
00:23:57.720 --> 00:24:00.599
lot throughout my professional career and also back in retirement.

508
00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:03.400
It's amazing, you know, we can learn all these wonderful lessons,

509
00:24:03.440 --> 00:24:07.079
but we have to continuously apply them otherwise we waste

510
00:24:07.160 --> 00:24:10.160
the opportunity. And I ebb and flow in and out

511
00:24:10.160 --> 00:24:11.920
of you know, we all teach what we need to learn.

512
00:24:12.039 --> 00:24:14.279
So I know that these.

513
00:24:13.680 --> 00:24:16.759
Kind of discussions are really healthy reflection points for me too.

514
00:24:16.599 --> 00:24:18.160
Going am I really doing that today?

515
00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:21.000
You know, this morning I woke up feeling quite hungover

516
00:24:21.079 --> 00:24:23.839
and dusty, and like, okay, I sabotaged myself last night.

517
00:24:24.200 --> 00:24:26.359
So today I'm going to nurture myself and do things

518
00:24:26.359 --> 00:24:29.680
that make me feel good and making sure that to

519
00:24:29.720 --> 00:24:32.319
contribute to the world, I have to contribute to myself first.

520
00:24:32.759 --> 00:24:35.440
To inspire people, I have to feel inspired as well.

521
00:24:35.480 --> 00:24:38.880
To motivate others, I have to be motivated, so holding

522
00:24:38.920 --> 00:24:41.799
myself accountable to then be able to better serve. So

523
00:24:41.880 --> 00:24:44.160
that's why I'm really proud of the academy. I love

524
00:24:44.279 --> 00:24:48.039
the course material it took me. Basically, COVID was a

525
00:24:48.079 --> 00:24:50.119
blessing in disguise for me because it gave me ten

526
00:24:50.160 --> 00:24:53.920
months to invest myself wholeheartedly into building this course and

527
00:24:54.000 --> 00:24:56.960
recording it and writing it and you know, designing the

528
00:24:56.960 --> 00:25:01.119
workbook and recording the videos and yeah. So it's been

529
00:25:01.160 --> 00:25:03.599
a real passion project that I really wish to share

530
00:25:03.599 --> 00:25:06.319
with the world because I know it's going to positively

531
00:25:06.400 --> 00:25:09.240
enhance people's lives. Because as a keynote speaker, which is

532
00:25:09.240 --> 00:25:12.720
also another way I contribute to the world, I feel

533
00:25:12.880 --> 00:25:16.720
people are wanting more after I leave, you know, I

534
00:25:16.759 --> 00:25:18.160
give them more I can in an hour.

535
00:25:18.279 --> 00:25:21.000
But then this is great follow up work. It's self paced.

536
00:25:21.079 --> 00:25:23.799
You can jump online onto awake Academy dot com, dot

537
00:25:23.839 --> 00:25:25.400
you and just go through the course at your own

538
00:25:25.400 --> 00:25:26.759
pace whenever you feel like it.

539
00:25:26.920 --> 00:25:30.480
So, and it's all about awareness of your.

540
00:25:30.319 --> 00:25:34.000
Feelings, your stories, your limiting beliefs, your strengths, your loves,

541
00:25:34.039 --> 00:25:36.000
your roles that you play in your life, and then

542
00:25:36.039 --> 00:25:38.839
aligning yourself with your dream team, aligning yourself with who

543
00:25:38.920 --> 00:25:41.720
you truly are, and then awakening your spirit and bringing

544
00:25:41.720 --> 00:25:45.200
in more celebration and more play and better health. And yeah,

545
00:25:45.359 --> 00:25:49.480
just creating a life that you love around and awakening.

546
00:25:48.960 --> 00:25:50.960
You to who you truly are and who you truly

547
00:25:50.960 --> 00:25:51.359
want to be.

548
00:25:51.759 --> 00:25:56.400
So that's there are two main ways that I contribute today. Yeah,

549
00:25:56.480 --> 00:25:58.440
and then there's a great movie coming out soon called

550
00:25:58.480 --> 00:26:02.839
Girls Can't Surf, which is like a documentary around women

551
00:26:02.880 --> 00:26:05.559
surfing in the eighties and nineties, and it's a fascinating

552
00:26:05.559 --> 00:26:12.400
snapshot of the chauvinistic, misogynistic and sexism that we encountered.

553
00:26:12.720 --> 00:26:22.359
Through those periods. It's a really great film.

554
00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:26.519
Lane, going back to your personal story, having been adopted,

555
00:26:26.559 --> 00:26:30.160
you did find your mum or she found you when

556
00:26:30.160 --> 00:26:33.880
you're in your twenties. How important was that for you

557
00:26:33.960 --> 00:26:35.519
to reconnect with her.

558
00:26:36.000 --> 00:26:38.279
At the time I didn't think it was that important.

559
00:26:38.640 --> 00:26:41.640
Quite honestly, I applied for my birth certificate when I

560
00:26:41.680 --> 00:26:44.480
was twenty four, and that really gave me some sort

561
00:26:44.480 --> 00:26:46.960
of consolation prize that I went okay. So she was

562
00:26:47.000 --> 00:26:49.079
seventeen when I was born. She was living in sorry

563
00:26:49.160 --> 00:26:51.680
Surrey Hill's in Sydney. So thank god she gave me up.

564
00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:53.799
Otherwise I would have been too far from the beach.

565
00:26:53.880 --> 00:26:56.200
I may have become a tennis player, but surfing is

566
00:26:56.240 --> 00:27:00.079
still my number one passion. And she was.

567
00:27:00.039 --> 00:27:03.799
From Scotland, and so I immediately decided that she was

568
00:27:03.799 --> 00:27:06.039
a backpacker from Scotland that just got caught up in

569
00:27:06.079 --> 00:27:07.680
the wrong crowd and then had to go back to

570
00:27:07.680 --> 00:27:09.200
Scotland after she gave birth to me.

571
00:27:09.279 --> 00:27:11.440
And it wasn't until she.

572
00:27:11.559 --> 00:27:14.759
Found me in nineteen ninety nine, which is I was

573
00:27:14.799 --> 00:27:18.279
twenty seven years of age, that she was able to

574
00:27:18.640 --> 00:27:23.920
clarify the story. And it was a tenuous relationship because

575
00:27:23.960 --> 00:27:26.799
I didn't trust her version of the story and who

576
00:27:26.839 --> 00:27:29.480
am I to judge her version of the story? And

577
00:27:29.519 --> 00:27:33.000
it was and I realized my judgment of others is

578
00:27:33.039 --> 00:27:34.400
what keeps them at arm's length.

579
00:27:34.519 --> 00:27:36.279
You know, it's my fear because we.

580
00:27:36.359 --> 00:27:39.599
Judge what we don't know, and we we judge what

581
00:27:39.640 --> 00:27:42.119
we don't understand, and we fear what we don't know.

582
00:27:42.359 --> 00:27:45.160
So my judgment of fear just kept everybody at arm's

583
00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:47.839
length and kept me in control of when I was

584
00:27:47.880 --> 00:27:51.359
going to allow these connections to occur. When I stopped

585
00:27:51.400 --> 00:27:53.880
judging my mum's story, I was then able to create

586
00:27:53.920 --> 00:27:56.160
a much stronger bond with her. But then at that

587
00:27:56.240 --> 00:27:59.079
point she chose to reject me again, So we always

588
00:27:59.119 --> 00:28:03.759
had this tenue dance with each other. She was living

589
00:28:03.759 --> 00:28:07.480
in America by the time I met her, and she

590
00:28:07.799 --> 00:28:10.640
living in Spakane in Washington State, so I'd see it

591
00:28:10.680 --> 00:28:13.720
maybe once a year. We'd communicate, you know, four or

592
00:28:13.720 --> 00:28:16.079
five times a year, but I would not call it

593
00:28:16.079 --> 00:28:18.920
it was I guess it's a long boat to say

594
00:28:18.960 --> 00:28:22.519
it was a mother daughter relationship. It was quite a Yeah,

595
00:28:22.559 --> 00:28:25.319
it was quite a distant mother daughter relationship. But I

596
00:28:25.680 --> 00:28:29.559
finally allowed myself to call her mum, which took a lot,

597
00:28:29.640 --> 00:28:31.680
because I'd always equated motherhood with loss.

598
00:28:32.039 --> 00:28:36.079
I guess I'm curious to know, was there the word

599
00:28:36.119 --> 00:28:41.200
that people throw around is closure, and how important was

600
00:28:41.200 --> 00:28:44.240
it for you to meet her to find out about,

601
00:28:45.160 --> 00:28:50.079
you know, find out the story to close off that

602
00:28:50.920 --> 00:28:52.000
unknown for you.

603
00:28:53.039 --> 00:28:55.559
Yeah, I think the challenge with adoptees is that the

604
00:28:55.559 --> 00:28:57.559
more you know, the more can of worms it opens.

605
00:28:57.680 --> 00:29:01.160
So it doesn't really provide cult closure at all.

606
00:29:01.279 --> 00:29:04.640
You know, I've since connecting with mum. Yes, it gave

607
00:29:04.680 --> 00:29:07.720
me some didn't really give me closure. It just gave

608
00:29:07.759 --> 00:29:11.160
me some confidence in understanding about who I am and

609
00:29:11.200 --> 00:29:13.200
why I am the way I am, But it certainly

610
00:29:13.279 --> 00:29:18.240
didn't close any mystical loops or mysterious loops. And then

611
00:29:18.319 --> 00:29:22.640
having no recollection or no connection with my biological father

612
00:29:22.759 --> 00:29:25.720
because Mum was raped, so she really didn't want to

613
00:29:25.720 --> 00:29:30.599
connect with my biological father and anytime I mentioned it.

614
00:29:30.480 --> 00:29:32.160
It caused a lot of distress to her.

615
00:29:32.400 --> 00:29:35.799
So and then I've had four or five guys come

616
00:29:35.880 --> 00:29:38.799
forward claiming to be my father since my story has

617
00:29:38.839 --> 00:29:42.160
been released, and I've had three or three or four

618
00:29:42.240 --> 00:29:44.799
DNA tests. Yeah, none of them have checked out to

619
00:29:44.799 --> 00:29:45.359
be my dad.

620
00:29:45.480 --> 00:29:47.759
So how is that for you?

621
00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:48.720
It's bizarre.

622
00:29:48.720 --> 00:29:50.400
I mean it opens up a whole can at worms

623
00:29:50.400 --> 00:29:53.200
as well, So you know, I go through the process

624
00:29:53.240 --> 00:29:54.599
because it's just worth exploring.

625
00:29:54.640 --> 00:29:56.839
If these guys claim to be my dad. Then I'm

626
00:29:56.839 --> 00:30:01.119
willing to be open to the consideration. I'm very pragmatic,

627
00:30:01.200 --> 00:30:01.359
you know.

628
00:30:01.359 --> 00:30:06.720
I don't get too bogged down in it, Otherwise it

629
00:30:06.759 --> 00:30:09.240
can become a little overwhelming. So I just let's just

630
00:30:09.319 --> 00:30:12.279
play it out and see what happens. And deep down

631
00:30:12.319 --> 00:30:13.319
I get a feeling.

632
00:30:13.000 --> 00:30:14.680
That, yeah, I don't think this guy's my dad.

633
00:30:14.680 --> 00:30:18.000
I think he's just written himself into my story, which

634
00:30:18.000 --> 00:30:20.200
has happened a couple of times. So and then I

635
00:30:20.279 --> 00:30:22.359
just stopped connecting with you know, I stopped communicating with

636
00:30:22.400 --> 00:30:29.359
them immediately. But then Mum died two years ago from

637
00:30:29.359 --> 00:30:33.480
a very en cancer at sixty two. And the one

638
00:30:33.559 --> 00:30:37.400
closure I did have the wonderful opportunity.

639
00:30:36.839 --> 00:30:38.519
To experience is that on her deathbed.

640
00:30:38.599 --> 00:30:42.839
So she rang me in my April of twenty eighteen

641
00:30:42.880 --> 00:30:44.640
and said, Li've given me three weeks to live, can

642
00:30:44.680 --> 00:30:45.519
you come say goodbye?

643
00:30:45.880 --> 00:30:47.920
Jumped on a plane the next day, sat on her bedside.

644
00:30:47.920 --> 00:30:49.920
I had a bedside vigil and we.

645
00:30:49.920 --> 00:30:53.200
Had a five minute conversation where we literally forgave each

646
00:30:53.240 --> 00:30:56.319
other for being bitches to each other and not connecting

647
00:30:56.359 --> 00:30:57.920
with each other, and said I love you, and then

648
00:30:57.960 --> 00:30:59.440
she fell asleep and that was it.

649
00:30:59.519 --> 00:31:00.559
She never went up again.

650
00:31:01.160 --> 00:31:03.680
That for me was the closure that I needed, just

651
00:31:03.720 --> 00:31:06.880
to say sorry and thank you and then that's it.

652
00:31:06.920 --> 00:31:11.279
And so whenever I whenever I start feeling sad about

653
00:31:11.680 --> 00:31:13.279
the lost opportunity or.

654
00:31:13.240 --> 00:31:17.960
The lack of connection, or the division that I created,

655
00:31:18.079 --> 00:31:18.880
or the pain.

656
00:31:18.640 --> 00:31:21.519
That I created or caused, I just go back to

657
00:31:21.559 --> 00:31:24.240
that conversation and that reconciles it for me and then

658
00:31:24.279 --> 00:31:27.200
I move on. So I feel for people in COVID,

659
00:31:27.480 --> 00:31:29.359
you know, who haven't had the opportunity to say goodbye,

660
00:31:30.279 --> 00:31:31.880
because that's the closure that you need.

661
00:31:32.599 --> 00:31:36.240
And COVID funerals are I experienced one of those very

662
00:31:36.240 --> 00:31:37.920
early during COVID.

663
00:31:38.079 --> 00:31:38.759
It's a tragic.

664
00:31:38.920 --> 00:31:42.240
Oh really, it's just a sad, sad situation to have

665
00:31:43.400 --> 00:31:46.680
nobody at a funeral and be watching a live stream

666
00:31:46.720 --> 00:31:47.640
with nobody in a room.

667
00:31:47.960 --> 00:31:49.119
My heart breaks for people.

668
00:31:49.839 --> 00:31:53.079
I'm fascinated by the fact that multiple men have lined

669
00:31:53.160 --> 00:31:56.160
up to say, oh, yeah, I raped somebody in the seventies.

670
00:31:56.519 --> 00:31:59.039
Well, they've all claimed that Mum wasn't raped. They're all

671
00:31:59.039 --> 00:32:02.440
claiming that she was Misgierson, that you know, she was

672
00:32:04.240 --> 00:32:08.599
not what she claimed to be. So very complex, it's

673
00:32:08.640 --> 00:32:10.359
a really complex situation.

674
00:32:13.720 --> 00:32:16.640
You said earlier that you have always been a very

675
00:32:16.799 --> 00:32:21.160
values driven person. What are your highest values now?

676
00:32:21.720 --> 00:32:22.240
Right now?

677
00:32:22.400 --> 00:32:26.920
My overarching value is a sense of freedom, but my

678
00:32:27.839 --> 00:32:35.240
driving values are vitality, giving back and being real, authenticity,

679
00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:40.440
and then support. I have to feel supported for me

680
00:32:40.559 --> 00:32:44.839
to have the confidence to do something audacious, such as

681
00:32:44.920 --> 00:32:47.240
build an online academy. Like I was in the car

682
00:32:47.440 --> 00:32:50.319
driving to the agency that was going to help me

683
00:32:50.359 --> 00:32:52.720
build this thing with my business partner, and I was

684
00:32:52.720 --> 00:32:54.880
in tears, going, if this is a.

685
00:32:54.799 --> 00:32:56.599
Struggle, I don't want anything to.

686
00:32:56.559 --> 00:33:00.359
Do with it because I don't wish to go through

687
00:33:00.400 --> 00:33:02.799
what I went through to win six consecutive all titles

688
00:33:02.839 --> 00:33:03.200
like that.

689
00:33:03.839 --> 00:33:04.960
It's just not worth it.

690
00:33:05.240 --> 00:33:07.119
I mean, it's worth it because it's given me a

691
00:33:07.160 --> 00:33:12.000
platform to talk and share my life lessons and ideally

692
00:33:12.079 --> 00:33:18.680
shortcut people's struggles and pains. However, it wasn't completely worth

693
00:33:18.720 --> 00:33:21.960
it because it was just so painful and it's such

694
00:33:22.000 --> 00:33:25.480
a trigger. So now I'm very aware of how much

695
00:33:25.519 --> 00:33:28.519
I rely on others to help me navigate my way

696
00:33:28.559 --> 00:33:29.200
through life.

697
00:33:29.440 --> 00:33:30.720
Yeah, so important.

698
00:33:31.480 --> 00:33:34.839
And I've heard you also say that you surf every day,

699
00:33:34.920 --> 00:33:38.200
and you mentioned earlier that really looking after yourself is

700
00:33:38.839 --> 00:33:42.400
fundamental that's center for you. Apart from surfing every day,

701
00:33:42.400 --> 00:33:46.799
what other habits do you have to keep yourself well

702
00:33:46.839 --> 00:33:47.440
and healthy?

703
00:33:47.799 --> 00:33:49.759
I do yin yoga beside my bed every night.

704
00:33:49.839 --> 00:33:51.960
I have a yoga mat next to my bed, and

705
00:33:52.000 --> 00:33:55.039
I drink a lot of water. I've always got a

706
00:33:55.039 --> 00:33:59.519
water bottle in my hand. I do the fast diet

707
00:34:00.240 --> 00:34:01.240
two oh wow.

708
00:34:01.319 --> 00:34:02.920
And we Kirk.

709
00:34:02.839 --> 00:34:04.920
And I schedule those in weeks in advance, so then

710
00:34:04.960 --> 00:34:09.039
non negotiable days of Mondays and Thursdays, unless, of course,

711
00:34:09.039 --> 00:34:12.840
our schedule somehow sabotages those days. But we you know,

712
00:34:13.119 --> 00:34:15.639
last week, last Friday, Turk's like, okay, what fast days

713
00:34:15.679 --> 00:34:17.480
we do next week? When we scheduled them in and

714
00:34:17.920 --> 00:34:19.880
we're asked out for dinner, sorry it's a fast day,

715
00:34:19.880 --> 00:34:23.599
we can't go. So for us, it's really benefited our

716
00:34:23.639 --> 00:34:25.599
lives and we've been able to bring it into our

717
00:34:25.639 --> 00:34:27.599
lives and become part of our life as opposed to

718
00:34:27.800 --> 00:34:28.880
dominating our life.

719
00:34:29.079 --> 00:34:30.920
And we've been doing it for maybe six and a

720
00:34:30.920 --> 00:34:33.079
half years now. Wow, we really like it.

721
00:34:33.119 --> 00:34:36.039
But when we got on holiday, it's at seven zero

722
00:34:36.360 --> 00:34:41.079
twenty one zero balance balance, Yes, but I.

723
00:34:41.039 --> 00:34:42.719
Love it, and you know, it's like I said, I.

724
00:34:42.679 --> 00:34:45.360
Woke up feeling hungover this morning, and there's no surf,

725
00:34:45.440 --> 00:34:46.920
so I make sure I make the time to at

726
00:34:46.960 --> 00:34:49.039
least get in the water, which is where my hester wet.

727
00:34:49.079 --> 00:34:50.719
I was having a swim this morning.

728
00:34:51.320 --> 00:34:56.000
I prioritize my sleep, you know, I get at least eight,

729
00:34:56.159 --> 00:35:00.159
if not nine, hours of sleep. I was injured for

730
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:02.320
for two months after falling down the stairs here at

731
00:35:02.320 --> 00:35:04.519
my office and wasn't able to surf and wasn't able

732
00:35:04.519 --> 00:35:07.679
to exercise, and I got dissatisfied after about six weeks.

733
00:35:07.679 --> 00:35:09.599
I went, surely, there's got to be something I can do.

734
00:35:09.679 --> 00:35:12.039
So I created like this six minute workout that I

735
00:35:12.079 --> 00:35:14.719
can do every day. So that's the oga MAT is.

736
00:35:14.719 --> 00:35:16.920
Therefore in the morning for my six minute workout. Because

737
00:35:16.920 --> 00:35:18.559
it's six minutes, no need to skip it.

738
00:35:18.679 --> 00:35:20.719
I can fit that in anytime and it just makes

739
00:35:20.719 --> 00:35:24.639
me feel better. I don't eat I don't eat dairy products.

740
00:35:24.920 --> 00:35:27.719
I haven't eaten red meat for over twenty years. I

741
00:35:27.880 --> 00:35:32.719
maintain eating as much organic and seasonal produce as I

742
00:35:32.760 --> 00:35:33.440
possibly can.

743
00:35:33.519 --> 00:35:35.559
So I just prioritize and nurture myself.

744
00:35:35.599 --> 00:35:37.639
But also I allow myself to fall off the rails

745
00:35:37.679 --> 00:35:39.719
and my husband's looking at bringing out a rose.

746
00:35:39.920 --> 00:35:40.639
So we had to do some.

747
00:35:40.679 --> 00:35:43.440
Rose testing and there was five bottles that we had

748
00:35:43.440 --> 00:35:46.599
to get through yesterday, but fortually drink more.

749
00:35:46.719 --> 00:35:49.559
I mean we tasted them all. Yes, Hey, if you

750
00:35:49.559 --> 00:35:51.199
open up five bottles of wine, you've got drink at

751
00:35:51.239 --> 00:35:52.000
least one of them.

752
00:35:52.599 --> 00:35:57.719
I'm fascinated by that, the five two and how I'd

753
00:35:57.760 --> 00:35:59.880
love to know what the benefits of that are that

754
00:35:59.880 --> 00:36:01.760
you have directly experienced.

755
00:36:01.880 --> 00:36:04.719
Yeah, so at first, I mean I did it for

756
00:36:04.840 --> 00:36:07.599
weight management. I don't really like to lose too much

757
00:36:07.639 --> 00:36:09.639
weight because I'm happy with how my body is. But

758
00:36:09.679 --> 00:36:13.800
it helps me maintain my weight, so if I and

759
00:36:13.840 --> 00:36:16.079
it also prevents me from eating foods.

760
00:36:15.719 --> 00:36:18.199
That aren't a part of my regular diet without guilt.

761
00:36:18.519 --> 00:36:20.159
Because I love hot chips.

762
00:36:20.280 --> 00:36:23.519
I can't deny myself a hot chip, and so I

763
00:36:24.280 --> 00:36:28.239
just I have guilty pleasures and without the guilt, which

764
00:36:28.400 --> 00:36:29.039
what I really.

765
00:36:28.960 --> 00:36:32.440
Love about the five two. It's helped me maintain my weight.

766
00:36:32.920 --> 00:36:36.320
It's helped me maintain all my vitals, you know, so

767
00:36:36.480 --> 00:36:42.360
my blood pressure, my cholesterol, my blood sugars, it gives

768
00:36:42.400 --> 00:36:47.599
my digestive and immune and digestive immune and endocrine systems

769
00:36:47.599 --> 00:36:50.079
all the break on the days because today's a fast day,

770
00:36:50.079 --> 00:36:51.519
so I have a smoothie in the morning, and then

771
00:36:51.559 --> 00:36:53.760
we have a three out of four hundred calorie dinner.

772
00:36:54.880 --> 00:36:57.159
I wake up a lot more. I'm actually a lot

773
00:36:57.159 --> 00:37:00.719
more mentally clear. I function and think a lot clearer.

774
00:37:01.119 --> 00:37:03.360
Yes, I have about I have an energy crashed at

775
00:37:03.360 --> 00:37:05.199
around two or three, but then I just blocked that

776
00:37:05.280 --> 00:37:09.000
time out for a nap and just drink a lot

777
00:37:09.039 --> 00:37:12.199
of water, so I wake up more hydrated and a

778
00:37:12.199 --> 00:37:13.840
lot more refreshed on the next day.

779
00:37:14.000 --> 00:37:16.559
So I've just I've seen that there's a lot of benefits.

780
00:37:16.559 --> 00:37:17.239
And then Kirk when it.

781
00:37:17.239 --> 00:37:18.960
Had his blood tests. He's really good with his health

782
00:37:18.960 --> 00:37:21.679
because he's had cancer, so he's really good at monitoring

783
00:37:21.719 --> 00:37:24.760
his health. So after he gets blood tests every six months,

784
00:37:24.760 --> 00:37:28.280
and the last test was just a glowing report of

785
00:37:28.320 --> 00:37:28.719
his health.

786
00:37:28.760 --> 00:37:31.920
His liver function, his kidney function, his heart, he's cholesterols,

787
00:37:31.920 --> 00:37:32.719
his blood shugars.

788
00:37:32.719 --> 00:37:36.239
Everything was just perfect and they keep getting better as

789
00:37:36.239 --> 00:37:36.920
he's getting older.

790
00:37:36.920 --> 00:37:37.480
It's amazing.

791
00:37:38.440 --> 00:37:41.800
So it works for us, so we live by My last.

792
00:37:41.559 --> 00:37:46.559
Question, Lane is how do you now define success?

793
00:37:47.719 --> 00:37:51.920
I've defined success by living a life. I love that

794
00:37:51.960 --> 00:37:54.199
doesn't mean you're always going to be doing things you love,

795
00:37:55.079 --> 00:37:58.199
and it doesn't mean life's all good and everything's amazing

796
00:37:58.280 --> 00:38:02.920
all the time. To me, it means having the choice

797
00:38:03.559 --> 00:38:05.840
to do what I want to do when I want

798
00:38:05.880 --> 00:38:13.119
to do it. However, it's primarily driven or determined by

799
00:38:13.280 --> 00:38:16.199
how I want to feel, and every day, I want

800
00:38:16.239 --> 00:38:18.840
to feel energized. I want to feel healthy, I want

801
00:38:18.880 --> 00:38:21.239
to feel happy. I want to feel like I'm contributing.

802
00:38:21.400 --> 00:38:23.159
I want to I love to learn, so I want

803
00:38:23.199 --> 00:38:27.800
to feel like I'm growing, and if I'm doing that consistently,

804
00:38:28.079 --> 00:38:30.679
then I'm living a very successful life.

805
00:38:30.840 --> 00:38:33.800
I'm so grateful for your time today, Lane, and I

806
