Summary

G’day! It’s Thursday! Hooray! Today on the show, we bring you the remarkable Turia Pitt. Turia is an author, mining engineer, athlete, and motivational speaker. In 2011, she was caught in a grassfire while running an ultramarathon, suffering severe burns to 65 per cent of her body as a result. In the almost decade since, Turia is now one of Australia’s most inspiring voices. In this chat, we ask Turia exactly how she responds to her inner critic, as well as whether there’s pressure that comes with being such a leading voice on resilience at a time like this.

Guys it's that time of year when lots of people jet off to have their Euro summer so we thought it would be a nice time to reflect on our own travels.

0:07.6

Yeah, Mitch, we love a little trip down memory lane. One of my favorite holidays of all time was my Europe trip last year. I know you're the same last year. I actually flew to Italy and

0:16.8

drove to the countryside to catch up with a whole group of friends. It was like the perfect mix of a social

0:22.2

trip that was also relaxing.

0:23.7

Yeah, that's absolutely the goal for any trip of mine.

0:26.4

I hate coming back from a holiday and feeling like I need a second holiday to recover.

0:31.1

So give us all the details, Zazzie. What made this stay so special?

0:34.7

Oh it was Aracom for sure. I actually made a great Tik-Tok about it.

0:37.6

If that makes say so myself, I don't make very good Tik-Tok.

Hey! But this one was good. We stayed in the countryside as I said and being a group we wanted a place that gave us a heap of space but also a bit of privacy as well. So Airbnb provided us with exactly that.

and the point is to spend time together.

1:01.9

Yeah, 100%. We were able to hang out just with our group of friends.

1:05.0

We had some iconic dinners on our outdoor table as a group looking over the countryside as well as

1:09.5

some mid-afternoon apparel.

1:10.7

Beside one of the more picturesque pools you've ever seen, I am not sure I will ever have a holiday that could get.

1:15.3

With trips like that in mind, Airbnb has you covered. Plus the reviews and ratings help you find

1:21.5

exactly what you're looking for with confidence.

Thank you so much to Airbnb for making this episode of shameless possible.
