I know health might not sound like a topic we’d be covering in an entertainment industry podcast, but we’ve always believed, no matter what your career goals are, health needs to be a priority. Health keeps you feeling clear and that you’re putting your best foot forward. Think about it; when you’re healthy you’re sleeping better, you’re less inflamed and you might even be a nicer version of yourself.Lola’s also a trained nutritionist so in this episode Sam gets to grill her on all and any health questions. From sleep hacks to decreasing inflammation in the body to finding balance.Health looks different for everyone and at the end of the day it’s about feeling your best. Of course when it comes to health, like any of us, it’s best to seek the advice of a trained health professional who can look at your case specifically.Talk Points:- Side notes; we both loved seeing Top Gun at the iconic Chinese Theatre; you can just book a ticket like going to the movies back home. Here’s the website I used to book my tickets: http://www.tclchinesetheatres.com/- Here’s the health shop I went to for those full on shots, its expensive but worth at least one visit when you’re in town. Special mention; I also love their vegan taco salad and deep dish pumpkin pie. https://www.erewhonmarket.com/- Guest 1: We get 3 top tips on how to deal with overwhelm from Australian solutions focussed therapist Pettina Stanghon https://www.instagram.com/pettina.stanghon.solutions/- Guest 2: Top UK Performance and wellness coach Harry Jameson teach us how to stay active and focussed when time is limited https://www.instagram.com/harryjamesonpt/We hope you loved this episode; remember we’re doing an “Ask Us Anything” episode so feel free to DM us anything you’d like answered in the ask us anything epSam insta: https://www.instagram.com/samrken/https://www.instagram.com/samrken/Lola insta: https://www.instagram.com/yummololaberry/Big love!

Manoj is a Buddhist meditation and mindfulness teacher. I think this episode will inspire you to really embrace the things that make us feel more mindful and connected. Manoj openly shares about his journey to date. I ask him to talk about Holotropic breathwork; what it is and what it does. As 2 days before this chat I'd been to one of his breathing classes and I had no idea what to expect but was go smacked by all the different experiences; people were crying, screaming and laughing, it seemed like a huge release. I get Manoj to share some of his Buddist philosophies with us; the tail of the 2 arrows is really interesting and something we can most differently apply in our real life.Here’s a little more about Manoj:-He co-owns Open; a meditation, movement and mindfulness space here in Venice, LA but it’s also a wonderful online place to access mindfulness; they’ve set me up with a code to give you 30 days trial for free that you can do from the comfort of your own home from anywhere in the world.https://go.o-p-e-n.com/LOLA30-Here’s a link to Manoj’s first book:Still togetherhttps://www.amazon.com/Still-Together-Connection-through-meditation/dp/1743796714-And here’s his insta:https://www.instagram.com/manojdias_/-You’ll hear us talk about our mutual mate Joe Wicks AKA The Body Coach who taught me the term “wobble day.” He’s also been on the pod too, you can listen to that episode here:https://shows.acast.com/fearlessly-failing/episodes/97.fearlesslyfailing-joewicksakathebodycoach-Manoj also mentioned the book The Surrender Experiment by Michael A.

Strap yourselves in for this true crime LA episode. We visit 4 iconic murder locations here in Los Angeles, we share the story of each location, and as you’ll hear things come up for David relating to the murders. Some places felt really eerie and gave you the heebeegeebees, whilst others felt calm, like the energy had shifted a pinch. Here's a list of the places wevisited in order:Location 1:El Coyote on Beverly Boulevard in West Hollywood, whist this wasn’t an actual murder location, it’s where Sharon Tate and her friends came for their last meal before they were brutally murdered by the Charles Manson cult clan on the evening of August 9th1969. You’ll hear David straight away pick up on the way she had been murdered without knowing her story. So fascinating.Location 2:The Hillside Strangers. This story is really creepy. And as youll hear, it still feels creepyFrom 1977-1978 two cousins kidnapped, raped, tortured and strangled girls. Then would load them into their car and dump their nude bodies long the LA hillsides. Super creepy. Both David and I dint like the vibes of this place, we went to the auto mobile service centre (which it still is today) which is where they took and tortured their victims.Location 3:The LaBianco residence. This husband and wife were victims of another Manson murder. This time Charles Manson was actually involved and on sight. He entered the house first; tied his victims up and told them nobody would hurt them, only that they were being robbed. He then exited the house and sent his Mason family clan upon them. The couple were brutally murdered just like the evening before at Sharon Tate’s house. Theses murderers were only kids, literally in their teens.Location 4:You’ve heard me talk about this please before, this is the Los Feliz murder mansion. When cardiologist Harold came home one night and went for his wife with a ball pin hammer, then then moved onto his 18-year-old daughter who escaped, along with his two other kids (just 11 and 13 years old). He then went to his bathroom and took a concoction of meds and died 15 minuets later. The really spooky part of this story is that someone bought the house and left it untouched for 6 decades, rumours say you could still see Christmas presents wrapped through the windows from that December night in 1959.This episode is like nothing we’ve done before on Fearlessly Failing, but I must say it was so fascinating and David was wonderful, he shared so much and I felt very safe and protected with him there.

Welcome back to Sam and Lola in La La Land!We’re here to share with you our experiences (as two home grown Aussies) of working in Hollywood. Now this episode actually has nothing to do with tinsel town or even America. It’s all about Sam’s epic gig of host producing the 75th BAFTAs in 2022. I mean talk about once in a lifetime dream job!In this ep we talk about literally the biggest awards nights in the UK. The BAFTAs (as Sam teaches us, stands for the British Academy of Film and Television Arts) is held at the start of the year and there’s over 5000 people live in the audience but it’s being broadcasted to millions of people all over the world. You’ll hear Sam talk about all the behind the scenes madness, how scary the autocue is when you forget your glasses or contact lenses, how to get a bit (or joke) across the line and what a host producer’s role is. To be honest it sounds to me like Sam’s the worlds best problem solver.As you’ll hear in this ep, you’ll not only get a taste of what goes on backstage but you’ll soon come to realise that an awards night is a beast of it’s own. It’s different from a stand up comedy show, very different from sit down talk show and it’s not really acting either. There’s a talent to keeping the live audience happy as well as remembering most of your audience is at home watching this through the telly. So it takes a very skilled person (spoiler alert… Rebel Wilson) with a great host producer (that’s our Sam) to host an Awards night as respected and prestigious as this!We hope you love this ep; if you do, please share it with your mates, subscribe, like, comment. You know the drill, that’s how we can keep this pod alive and keep recording.Big love from La La LandSam & LolaHere’s a little taste of the show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLgCv4I6BpkCheck out Rebel’s glam team on instagram:Rebels Stylist @elizabethstewart1Rebels Stylist Assistant @jennyrodriguezstyleRebels Make up artist @karindarnellRebels hair stylist @itsdashHere’s the highlight reel of Sam’s experience too: https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/17921163365133244/Sam’s insta: https://www.instagram.com/samrken/Lola’s insta: https://www.instagram.com/yummololaberry/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Holy moly, what a legend. I’ve been bugging Tanya to jump on the pod for what feels like (and probably is) years now, but we’ve just never been in the same place at the same time. So, it took a bit of magic to make this podcast align, literally, we recorded this at Disneyland! Tanya had just finished filming a travel show at the Happiest Place on Earth and on her one day off before that long haul flight home, she said yes to jumping in the pod, what a legend! Tanya is unstoppable; she’s a comedian, author, TV presenter, radio announcer and creator of the coolest makeup collection going round! I’m a huge fan and as you’ll hear in this pod, she’s one of the hardest workers you’ll ever meet! Get ready to laugh at this human who doesn’t filter herself, she’s the real deal and will always have a fan in me.Follow Tanya here:Insta:https://www.instagram.com/tanhennessy/Tanya’s newest book:https://www.booktopia.com.au/spotlight-please-it-s-stevie-louise-tanya-hennessy/book/9781760526429.htmlYoutube:https://www.youtube.com/c/TanyaHennessyFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/thetanyahennessy/Big love,LolaFollow Lola Berry on Instagram: @yummololaberrywww.lolaberry.comwww.lolacoffee.co See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
