You know, it would be disingenuous and lacking in integrity to allow this sort of backdrop that existed in my life at the time to continue.

yeah I don't even know if it was that premeditated at the time I mean I'd I'd watched there were three series before mine that were all men and so I'd watched it with this sort of freedom of thinking I wonder if I could do I'd probably give that a shot I don't know if I'd be any good at that part you know um sort of um sofa kind of coaching you know and um

And then they announced that they were going to allow women to participate.

And so I put something on my Instagram.

I shared a story, I think, from Matt Middleton's account.

And then I was just inundated with people saying, well, then are you going to apply?

And it honestly hadn't actually crossed my mind.

And I sort of did it just to say, yeah, OK, OK, I have.

I have filled out the application form.

Now leave me alone.

And then, of course, you go through a process and just, yeah, chain reaction.

And you're there.

And then I was there in Chile.

And I thought it had been some big mistake or that I'd last for 24 hours and be out.

And actually, at the time, I was meant to be running a retreat in Kefalonia for Barworks.

So I had to give that a miss and send some of my team to do that.

And I thought, I'll probably join them.

Yeah.

So I got through 11 days.

And as you just said, you know, it was the most amazing kind of concentrated, accelerated period of transformation for me.
