Okay.

Yeah, absolutely.

Uh, Rachel, I'm gonna go straight to Rachel's, 'cause she wrote a column in this issue, and it is, you read it and you just go, "Wow." Because she, she's not only an amazing runner, but she's an amazing writer as well.

Um, and it's called Someone Eventually Has to Drive Home.

And I'm gonna, sorry, I'm gonna find it here.

Um, basically, what she writes about is you have to deal with the race high of finishing, and then you've, you've gotta s- you've gotta kind of process it and drive home and understand that you just finished this big race.

And I know she's referring back to her win at Cocodona.

Bonkers.

and

then, and then what makes our relationship work.

And we were like, is this a formula? Is this something that we can teach? And so we, set for us to write the book.

And then for the last six years, we had been teaching the principles out of this to marriages, just really seeing it transform relationships.

But the one area that I think needed extra help was the physical intimacy.

And so that's why we designed Aria Luxury Lubricant.

It comes with a conversation card that enhance more connection before sex because women are always saying, I just, I want to make love to my husband.

We encourage couples to pursue spirituality together in this non-judgmental, non-condemning, atmosphere where they seek a God that is bigger than themselves, that is good, and that is mysterious.

How do we identify those things? How do we become self-aware of those areas of lack in our leadership?

Yeah.

You know, and there are two areas that, um, you know, I like to focus for me and, and for other people that I've seen is the reflection and, and, and insight.

Okay? So first, when we talk about insight, insight from others, and I tell people, w- ask people like, you know, "What, what am I doing well? What do you see that I do that stands out for you that is most useful?" Okay, that is most useful in what you're trying to do or what our company is trying to do.

And so that's one thing that taps into the strengths that you have.

You know, and where do you see that I have some opportunity? And, and it just can have one thing, and you start to ask people that, and you look at that and you say, "Okay," 'cause it's not just about what I think I need to work on, it's about the people that are around me that are counting on me.

How do they see that? And so when people ask those two simple questions, and it doesn't have to be this big thing.

So, uh, I guess, w- [chuckles] what does it look like when leaders say they care but it's not truly modeled that way?

Yeah.

That's great.

Um- Yeah, no. Um, so this issue is the trails issue.

It is, it was in every single Western States runner's gift, go- goodie bag I guess, race packet pick-up, um, with all their swag that they get.

And, um, it's special because we have not our normal columns, but we have all these features about the trails, and in this issue in particular we also have a, a couple photo essays which is, I mean, it's been...

We started these kind of back in January, Feb- sorry, February, March, and, um, it's just been so refreshing.

We've had so many great, uh, compliments on these photo essays, kind of feeling like we're bringing it back to the, to the days of, you know, trail photography and just, you know, bringing the trails to life in our issue.

Love those guys.

There's just so much-

You're listening to a Mamamia podcast.

Mamamia associate lifestyle editor Amy Clark says there are some simple tricks to make sure you're actually getting the best deal as the sales start to roll in.

End of financial year sales generally run longer than events like After Payday and Click Frenzy, so there's genuinely no rush.

Plus, brands and retailers actually go on sale more frequently than ever, so you are rarely ever going to actually miss out.

To avoid aimless browsing, make a list of the things you actually need or want, then shop the sales with those in mind.

And if you're after a more sought-after item, subscribe to the brand's or retailer's newsletter so you'll be notified if and when a sale will start.

Finally, don't forget to ask about price matching because if you don't ask, you don't get.

Tell us what we can expect from this, and then let's get your personal insight.

Okay.

So the...

Everything was different this year at Barkley, so the, it started a month early unexpectedly.

Like, you know, it was, it was like, "Well, we're gonna, we're gonna bump it back a month, and we're gonna, you know, have this event in February." And the entire campground is demo- like, it's under construction.

So we're not gonna be able to do it at this, at the old yellow gate that we normally do.

And if we...

So what else should we know that's in this issue?
