Friday LA Diary","description":"<p>LA UPDATE:</p><p><br></p><p>No acting auditions this week, just two availability checks - one for a commercial audition that was looking for a podcast host, so that would have been a fun one. The other was a background availability check for Baywatch, which is shooting in Venice Beach, but i had a podcast already booked in so I couldn’t do that one. Actually one audition came in right before i recorded this! So i'll be self taping that right after this recording</p><p><br></p><p>Since was last spoke i’ve recorded 4 pods; one with a bravery expert, one with a shark conservationist, one with an actor and today I recorded a health episode all around lipid profiles and cholesterol.</p><p>The Bravery one came out on Monday, here’s a couple of take aways:</p><ul><li>To be successful, you need to grow. To grow, you need to face discomfort.</li><li>Discomfort and growth are two sides of the same coin</li><li>To be brave is to be willing to face discomfort</li><li>Bravery is contagious</li></ul><p><br></p><p>We also saw the new Mando &amp; Grogu film a The Chinese Theatre on IMAX and it was unreal! Highly recommend and kiddo friendly too!</p><p><br></p><p>After that we had a date night at Musso &amp; Frank the iconic LA spot thats been open since 1919, we had a gin martini with a twist and shared broccolini, a steak and some chippies. It did not disappoint. You can take photos in the restaurant but its got this old Hollywood feel to it, in fact I think they filmed scenes from&nbsp;<em>Once Upon a Time in Hollywood</em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>The Studio</em>&nbsp;there too!</p><p><br></p><p>We’ve also been going through all the fostering steps and approvals for Guide Dogs of America (GDA) to foster a little girl, we had our house check yesterday, we attended a GDA meeting last weekend and we have our final interview today, wish us luck!</p><p><br></p><p>Big Love</p><p>Lola x</p>","author_name":"Lola Berry"}
