Los Angeles Actor Diary

The week that was in Los Angeles:

OUR FIRST TIME VISITING SAG!

This has been a lovely week in Los Angeles! One of this weeks full of magic moments.

We went to our first ever screening at SAG! It was pretty special, we saw a screener of our mates feature film ahead of it being released. And the theatre at SAG is called the Meryl Streep Theatre. Then each chair has a different actors name on it, I was lucky enough to sit on the Matt Damon seat, Boss was on Julia Roberts and our mate Laura was on Ben Affleck, what a row! Apparently the names of people on these seats donated considerable amounts to SAG during covid. So the screening was loads of fun, we went to Barney’s Beanery in West Hollywood afterwards to celebrate out mates! So surreal to see a movie come to life like that, so so cool.

Then on Sunday we went to this Emmy nominations party for composers, Bosso is a composer so this was right up his alley. It was this cool house out in the Hollywood Hills and 4 composers and a choir performed from upcoming Emmy nominated TV shows, I loved the music from Agatha All Night Long.

They also had a real life Emmy at this party, I made a wish on it naturally!

This week I also had a lovely dinner at The Holloway House (which is part of Soho House), I went there with my mate Pip and we had dinner on their rooftop, it was a lovely place to watch the sun set.

I also took a meeting at Los Feliz cafe All Time. This place is still one of my favourite places in Los Angeles, it reminds me of the cute cafes we have in Byron Bay, lands of outdoor seating and plants. Feels a bit magical you know.

And now I’m about to start working on 2 influencer pitches, I have two scripts due today for influencer campaigns. So that’s a bit of fun!

No auditions this week, but I’ve booked 3 exciting guests for the podcast, I’ve been researching different podcast studios, I have 4 Virgos in my chart, so researching and planning is right up my alley.

That’s it from me fam-bam. P.s if you’re in LA and feel like a little getaway my yoga bud Meg and I are running a yogi retreat in October! Check out my last post for more info

Big love

Los Angeles Actor Diary

Righto Fam!

I have a really exciting update for you… Something for the heath nerds and yogis!

But first things first, lets have a little wrap up of the week; I’ve been crook all week, fighting some kind of lurgy, so my days off have been spent in bed, eating copious amounts of chicken soup, handmade by the Bosso of course.

On the plus side, I’m slowly coming out of it, and the downtime has meant I’ve been able to chip away at my American taxes, which feel like learning a foreign language, its so different to back home in Australia.

So it’s safe to say, I haven’t done a single audition this week, but thats ok, I’d be no good to anyone sounding snotty.

Now for the exciting stuff, I’m running a yoga retreat in Joshua Tree in October with my mate Meg. It’s a 3 night, 4 day retreat in October. Thing, yoges, hiking, cacao ceremony, breath work, somatic movement, lovely nourishing food and that stunning Joshua Tree backdrop.

Imagine waking up to desert light streaming through your window, moving your body in a gentle morning yoga flow, sharing nourishing meals with a small, supportive group, and feeling your nervous system finally exhale.

This retreat is your permission slip to rest.

Join us in the magical landscape of Joshua Tree for a weekend designed with one intention: Rest and relax.

Life is full — sometimes overwhelmingly so. This retreat is our way of creating space for you to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with yourself without distraction.

We’ll weave together yoga, breathwork, connection, and the natural beauty of Joshua Tree to nourish your body, mind, and spirit. You’ll leave feeling lighter, clearer, and more grounded — with memories of laughter, stillness, and shared moments under the desert stars.

Your experience will be fully supported from the moment you arrive:

Daily yoga flow + yin to energize and restore
Somatic yoga to tap into your nervous system and release
Breathwork to clear your mind and open your heart
Community hike through Joshua Tree’s breathtaking trails
Sauna & cold plunge contrast therapy for deep reset
Pool time — perfect for sunny afternoons or magical starlit swims
Cacao ceremony & sound bath to soothe your soul
Ample downtime to nap, journal, read, or simply be
Three nourishing meals per day — with love and intention

Here’s the link, if you’re interested, it’s on from October 2nd-5th and we will have day passes available too.

p.s I just pulled you an angel oracle card for today and here’s what you got: “Devine Magic: Extra magical energy surrounds your situation right now. Expect miracles.”

Look out for Monday's ep! 6 years of podcasting!! Can you believe it's been 6 years of the Fearlessly Failing podcast? To celebrate we're taking a walk down memory lane, revisiting our favorite episodes and biggest lessons we've learned along the way.

Big love,

Lola
