Righto - We have a Solo ep today! We're talking all things: DHARMA

Ever feel like you’re doing everything "right" on paper, but you still feel strangely disconnected? 🌀 In today’s episode, we are diving deep into the yogic concept of Dharma—your unique cosmic blueprint and life purpose. Spoiler alert: It’s not just a job title.

Finding your purpose isn't about creating something new from scratch; it’s about remembering who you have always been. Grab a journal, find a quiet space, and use these five deep-diving questions from today's episode to map out your own path:

• The Question: What do people consistently ask you for help with?
• The Reflection: We are often blind to our own zone of genius because it feels easy to us. Look at your text messages and your friendships—what is the specific energy or skill the world naturally seeks from you?

• The Question: What is a specific problem in the world that moves you to tears or makes your blood boil?
• The Reflection: Dharma is rarely just fluffy, happy thoughts; it is often born out of a holy frustration. Your purpose is intimately tied to something you feel called to heal, fix, or protect.

• The Question: Whose life or career do you secretly envy, and why?
• The Reflection: Don't shame yourself for jealousy, just decode and understand it. Envy is actually a map showing you your own unlived potential. Are you jealous of their bank account, or are you actually craving their creative freedom?

• The Question: Before the world told you who you had to be to survive or pay bills, what did you do for pure joy?
• The Reflection: Go back to your ten-year-old self. Your younger self knew exactly what your energy was meant for before adult expectations took over. What did you lose track of time doing?

• The Question: If you keep living the exact lifestyle you lived this past week for the next 10 years, what will you regret most?
• The Reflection: Shakedown your own complacency. Don't let your comfort zone become the graveyard of your potential. What is the thing you will wish you had started today? I'm all about having no regrets, and this question cuts right through to the core.

For the next three days, wake up 15 minutes earlier. Before checking emails or scrolling social media, sit in morning silence with your journal. Clear out everyone else's opinions so you can finally hear your own intuition speak.

Welcome back to your Friday Diary!

Righto, here’s the cliff notes of the past 7 days in LA

• Did a fun seggie on KTLA talking Summer Electrolyte Recipes (see my last substack for all the recipes)
• Ps. I ended up wearing a frock I bought almost 20 years ago in Sydney! I wasn’t sure it would work, but it did! Rapt!
• After TV Matt took me out for a celebratory lunch date at All Time in Los Feliz, I’m more plant based nowadays with my lowering cholesterol journey, so i went for their Good Ass salad and added avo. Very good, fresh summery salad with grapefruit and sweet peas. Boss got the burger and old me would have got their brekkie burrito which is off the chain good!
• Looked after little Lennon gal - the guide dog puppo that we’re co-fostering, she was a dream to look after, we miss her so we’re excited to have her again this weekend. She has guide dog puppy kindie tomorrow!
• Went for a walk around Echo Park lake today, def pop it on your LA list, you can ride swan boat on the lake, its also just sweet to walk around or have a picnic. Today there were heaps of cygnets (baby swans) which were very cute and fluffy balls of energy. What didn’t know was that adult male swans are called cobs, and adult females are called pens.
• Just got an audition for a Chrissy movie, so i’ll work with my dialect coach to get that American accent feeling strong before i put it on tape. Love me anything festive so really excited for that one!
• I’ve been put on hold for a poddy too, so that could be fun, as a guest so i wouldn’t need to prep a think, being interviewed is loads easier than doing the asking! So if it happens, i think it will be a fun one!
• I’ve officially hit 80 days of meditation in a row, keen to keep going, i have that 100 day mark in my sights now!
• And now i’m off to Larchmont to meet my buddy for a coffee at a ripper coffee place called Go Get Em Tiger! Its a coffee chain all over LA but the coffee is solid, keep an eye out for it if you’re ever in Los Angeles.
• Righto, thats it from me, mega love!

What a brill chat this one was: Analesa Fisher is an unreal human, who taught me loads about sharks and shark conservation!

Analesa is an actor, writer and prolific voice artist. They are best known for voicing Firefly in Honkai: Star Rail and playing Kendall Sarn in the Netflix film Metal Lords And.. Clara in Saving Buddy Charles of course, we had Jillian Shea Spaeder on a couple of weeks back. It's officially available on amazing prime right now!!!

The really cool thing about this chat was that yes, we totally unpacked their career which is super super impressive but then we got to deep dive shark conservation! And if you know me you’ll know I love anything shark related!

You can follow Analesa on insta here: https://www.instagram.com/AnalesaFisher/
