This is the Maharani Moment Podcast
2
00:00:06,311 --> 00:00:12,599
brought to you by Rebel City Distillery and Good Day Cork.
3
00:00:12,599 --> 00:00:20,899
We have all been at that juncture in time where life has offered us
4
00:00:20,899 --> 00:00:24,800
choices and no matter what we picked,
5
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:29,399
there was no guarantee of how things were gonna turn out yet.
6
00:00:29,399 --> 00:00:35,700
There's this instinct that helps us make a life-changing choice.
7
00:00:35,700 --> 00:00:41,000
We might not even know it at that moment it’s only on reflection.
8
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:46,111
We realise, “Aha. That was a Maharani Moment!”
9
00:00:46,111 --> 00:00:49,074
“..that moment of Liberation.”
10
00:00:49,074 --> 00:00:53,568
We have gathered stories to offer you comfort,
11
00:00:53,568 --> 00:00:59,399
to help you realise that self-liberation is well within our reach.
12
00:00:59,399 --> 00:01:04,200
We don't have to go very far to get these stories.
13
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:12,000
The Maharani Moment Podcast is created right here in Cork - featuring people of Cork.
14

This is the Maharani Moment Podcast.
18
00:01:38,500 --> 00:01:44,799
In episode 1, our host Bhagya Barrett co-founder of Rebel City Distillery

And Dr. Eliza Di Carlo, an environmental scientist.
21
00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:04,500
We hope that this conversation inspires you to live your best life.
22
00:02:09,300 --> 00:02:12,900
Hi Thay thanks for joining us today.
23
00:02:12,900 --> 00:02:15,433
It's lovely to have you here and
24
00:02:15,433 --> 00:02:20,500
it would be it's a great opportunity to hear your story as well.
25
00:02:20,500 --> 00:02:25,199
How was your day? It was beautiful and thank you Bhagya
26
00:02:25,199 --> 00:02:35,500
for the opportunity to share my story with you and with the world.
27
00:02:35,500 --> 00:02:41,599
So my day was beautiful even though it was raining all day.
28
00:02:41,599 --> 00:02:46,400
So I really really enjoy gardening and farming.
29
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:52,800
So I was doing I was sowing and planting.. this kind of stuff.
30
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,500
It was nice.
So while gardening,
31
00:02:55,500 --> 00:02:59,199
do you listen to any songs?
32
00:02:59,199 --> 00:03:01,699
Yes, I love piano.
33
00:03:01,699 --> 00:03:03,800
I love classical music.
34
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:14,400
Oh, so every day when I go there I do my meditations
and yes piano piano and piano.
35
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:19,500
Sometime I sing for the plants as well.
36
00:03:19,500 --> 00:03:22,300
Do your plans listen to music like you do?
37
00:03:22,300 --> 00:03:26,500
Yeah. I think they love this.
38
00:03:26,500 --> 00:03:33,199
I can see the brightness coming up.
39
00:03:33,199 --> 00:03:37,800
So Thay, when you moved from Brazil to Ireland, three years ago -
40
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:43,000
Was there any moment where you got stuck and how did you overcome that?
41
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:50,199
I think my real unstuck moment was when I was here.
42
00:03:50,199 --> 00:03:53,699
So as I said to you I was living in Dublin before
43
00:03:53,699 --> 00:03:59,500
and I lived there for three years and the point was - there -
44
00:03:59,500 --> 00:04:02,699
we have a really really huge
45
00:04:02,699 --> 00:04:09,000
community …Brazilian community and then I was living with Brazilians.
46
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,900
I love my country. But you know,
47
00:04:11,900 --> 00:04:24,100
I love my people but my goal wasn't this -
like, I travelled a 10,000 miles to come to Ireland
48
00:04:24,100 --> 00:04:28,500
and I found myself stuck and stuck
49
00:04:28,500 --> 00:04:31,100
yeah between the Brazilians again,
50
00:04:31,100 --> 00:04:39,100
and I could not improve my English, I was talking in Portuguese all the time and bad jobs,
51
00:04:39,100 --> 00:04:46,800
you know, so cleaning and babysitting and I said to myself like,
52
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,000
“Okay, so it's not what I want to do…”
53
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:57,699
You know, it's wasn't for this the why [reason] you know,
54
00:04:57,699 --> 00:05:01,699
I came from Brazil and okay,
55
00:05:01,699 --> 00:05:05,300
[I knew] that it’s time. “Let's move again.”
56
00:05:05,300 --> 00:05:14,300
“Let’s move again.” This is how I found Cork and and I fell in love.
57
00:05:14,300 --> 00:05:23,699
I came here three times before I moved to Cork .
58
00:05:23,699 --> 00:05:28,100
So that's why that was very important to me.
59
00:05:28,100 --> 00:05:33,699
You know that intuition.. listening [to] the voice of inside me like okay,
60
00:05:33,699 --> 00:05:36,100
“You need to do more, You can do more!”
61
00:05:36,100 --> 00:05:39,500
You know, you can go far.
To come out of that comfort zone, right?
62
00:05:39,500 --> 00:05:43,699
Yeah come out of the comfort zone and push out of the comfort zone.
63
00:05:43,699 --> 00:05:46,500
Yeah. Exactly. You can come out.
64
00:05:46,500 --> 00:05:50,634
Yeah and hats off to you Thay, because moving
65
00:05:50,634 --> 00:05:53,600
from one country from Brazil to
66
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,800
Ireland learning a new language
67
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,899
and pushing out of the comfort zone and now going ahead
68
00:05:58,899 --> 00:06:01,500
and starting up a business - Hats off to you.
69
00:06:01,500 --> 00:06:05,100
I think it needs a lot of courage a lot of passion - kudos to you
70
00:06:05,100 --> 00:06:08,158
for the courage to stand up for that
71
00:06:08,158 --> 00:06:11,699
and achieve more than what you already had.
72
00:06:11,699 --> 00:06:14,100
I think Corona in one way it's good
73
00:06:14,100 --> 00:06:17,600
for all of us because it makes us think outside the
74
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,800
box and kind of find innovative ways of doing business,
75
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,100
isn't it like the ‘Growth Box you're doing [at Cork Rooftop Farm] and all those.
76
00:06:25,100 --> 00:06:30,600
I think it's brilliant. People are .. all the businesses are
trying to do business in different way,
77
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,420
which we wouldn’t even have thought,
78
00:06:32,420 --> 00:06:33,699
if Corona was not there.
79
00:06:33,699 --> 00:06:37,100
Yeah. I think the challenge makes humans think more, isn’t it?
80
00:06:37,100 --> 00:06:45,100
I totally agree.
If the Corona virus didn't come up,
81
00:06:45,100 --> 00:06:48,300
I don't know if I [would be] doing gardening,
82
00:06:48,300 --> 00:06:52,000
you know, I don't know if…
You see it pushed you and now…
83
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:56,500
Yeah.
Now your’e running a Cork Rooftop Farm so it pushed you.
84
00:06:56,500 --> 00:07:00,600
Yes. Yes a lot.
85
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:05,100
Maharani means Queen.
86
00:07:05,100 --> 00:07:11,699
So is there a moment in your life where you felt like a queen and where you felt totally liberated?
87
00:07:11,699 --> 00:07:19,500
Was there any moment where you felt like a queen
and could you please share that with us?
88
00:07:19,500 --> 00:07:26,600
Yes. Yes. I have I really really big moments in my life,
89
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:32,399
that made me literally jump, you know
90
00:07:32,399 --> 00:07:45,500
in from from the abyss. Like my Maharani..
91
00:07:45,500 --> 00:07:55,800
Moment was a really big decision that I did 17 years ago
92
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,500
when I decided to run away from home.
93
00:07:59,500 --> 00:08:05,199
I was living with my father and his brother.
94
00:08:05,199 --> 00:08:11,199
He tried to abuse me and my father was out of the reality,
95
00:08:11,199 --> 00:08:16,699
you know, he was alive, but with the traumas,
96
00:08:16,699 --> 00:08:20,000
you know - it had consumed his soul,
97
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:29,000
his brain and everything. My mom unfortunately,
98
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:33,200
[committed] suicide and my grandmother passed away.
99
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:43,600
Within one year after my mom and in sequence [following that] the
100
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:49,899
favourite sister of my father .. my aunt was very ill.
101
00:08:49,899 --> 00:08:54,000
It was in a very short period of time
102
00:08:54,000 --> 00:09:01,100
and that was a completely disaster - strikes our family you know.
103
00:09:01,100 --> 00:09:07,299
I think that [they] those three women were holding the entire family
104
00:09:07,299 --> 00:09:20,500
because after that we just you know - we separate[d]. It was like a tsunami in our family and yeah.
105
00:09:20,500 --> 00:09:24,500
I guess that's why my father, you know could not see you know
106
00:09:24,500 --> 00:09:30,299
and care about me and my brother - I have one brother.
107
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:40,600
The government was giving my father money
to help us; me and my brother - but he wasn't,
108
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:45,600
you know doing anything with the money and we had our house as well.
109
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:51,399
So that money should be enough for our education, for food,
110
00:09:51,399 --> 00:09:54,200
but he was sick as well.
111
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:59,700
You know, I forgive my father because now I can understand.
112
00:09:59,700 --> 00:10:10,399
You know, I can see everything clearly. But I could not stay so I ran from my home that day.
113
00:10:10,399 --> 00:10:17,000
I was praying and crying in front of Christ.
114
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:23,399
I had one how can I say this Monument or statue?
115
00:10:23,399 --> 00:10:27,100
Yeah, and I had this image in my room
116
00:10:27,100 --> 00:10:31,899
and then I was crying crying crying asking for help and asking for my mom
117
00:10:31,899 --> 00:10:39,399
and trying to understand why .. that you know what was happening with me.
118
00:10:39,399 --> 00:10:43,945
You know [asking myself], “What I did?”
119
00:10:43,945 --> 00:10:49,399
And God gave me this answer: go to - run away,
120
00:10:49,399 --> 00:10:53,799
you know - go to your auntie.
121
00:10:53,799 --> 00:10:56,200
She's very lovely.
122
00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:04,500
And is [the] sister of my mom and I lived there with her three years of my life.
123
00:11:04,500 --> 00:11:09,386
That was the second time, I found love in my life
124
00:11:09,386 --> 00:11:13,100
that moment - to me was very important
125
00:11:13,100 --> 00:11:15,299
because I was needing,
126
00:11:15,299 --> 00:11:18,500
you know - a hug and care,
127
00:11:18,500 --> 00:11:25,767
you know - and simple things like a hug, talking.
128
00:11:25,767 --> 00:11:29,899
So that was a big decision.
129
00:11:29,899 --> 00:11:34,700
But but was one of those - the best of my life
130
00:11:34,700 --> 00:11:43,500
because I could go back to studying, I had my room, I had my own privacy.
131
00:11:43,500 --> 00:11:45,873
You know - so these things to me is very
132
00:11:45,873 --> 00:11:47,399
very very very important.
133
00:11:47,399 --> 00:11:53,131
You know, I always - how can I see this? I
134
00:11:53,131 --> 00:11:57,299
am always very grateful to her
135
00:11:57,299 --> 00:12:00,974
because I lived with her for three years
136
00:12:00,974 --> 00:12:04,200
and was from my 15yrs to my 18yrs.
137
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,799
So I get the support,
138
00:12:06,799 --> 00:12:09,799
you know to be a grown woman,
139
00:12:09,799 --> 00:12:13,899
you know to understand
and be independent.
140
00:12:13,899 --> 00:12:21,799
Yes independent and to be aware what was coming next like okay?
141
00:12:21,799 --> 00:12:25,100
‘Suicide is this’ - ‘Life is this, this and that,
142
00:12:25,100 --> 00:12:31,200
you know, you know until you're 15 and right now,
143
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:35,600
you know more this. She gave me the love and knowledge,
144
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:40,068
you know, “So be careful with this, with that.”
145
00:12:40,068 --> 00:12:43,700
Things that I was missing from my mom
146
00:12:43,700 --> 00:12:47,799
and my dad - so yes.
147
00:12:47,799 --> 00:12:53,299
Yeah, Thay losing a dear one, family one is a very hard thing, right!
148
00:12:53,299 --> 00:12:55,799
I'm happy that you shared it
149
00:12:55,799 --> 00:12:59,232
because it's a very personal thing and it's .. such a ..
150
00:12:59,232 --> 00:13:01,100
very emotional thing as well.
151
00:13:01,100 --> 00:13:02,500

And thanks Thay, for sharing that particular moment with us.

I wish I could give you a hug - hugs for you.
157
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,899
Yeah, I'm feeling your hug.
158

Don't worry. I'm feeling. I am feeling. .
159
00:13:30,399 --> 00:13:36,000
Remember last time when we were speaking you were
