She appeared on the podcast in March where she opened up on how she believes travel unveils a feeling of insignificance that can really shift your perspective on life.

The Mobland star revealed that after the collapse of her marriage five years ago, she checked into a £1,500 transcendental meditation retreat in Australia.

Joanne was married to James Cannon for nearly eight years until their split in February 2020, which she has said threw her life ‘in flux’.

She said she was inspired to take a solo visit to Soma Byron Bay just after the split, by watching the TV series Nine Perfect Strangers starring Nicole Kidman.

Speaking to travel industry expert Tanya Rose, she recalled: ‘I booked this retreat and it was an introduction to Ayurvedic meditation – some people call it transcendental meditation. 

‘Oh my goodness, it blew my mind. It was incredible. I went on my own.

‘Byron Bay is just the most stunning place anyway, it’s so beautiful. The beaches are amazing, it’s a very lush, tropical landscape. It’s just gorgeous.’

The boutique ‘wellness’ getaway boasts a geodesic dome, an outdoor cinema, a swimming pool and a fire pit and was used for the filming of Nine Perfect Strangers in 2020.

Joanne said she booked a transcendental meditation retreat that coincided with a job she had booked in Australia in 2022 after becoming ‘obsessed’ with the location when watching the show.

The Liar star, who now has a nine-month-old daughter with her new partner, Mark Turner, gushed over the unique retreat and how she bonded with the other travellers.

She explained: ‘You rock up and there’s a group of people there and there’s Ayurvedic food for you. It was either couples of single people and you don’t know anyone. You just spend this very intense but calm two and a half days together.

‘It was such an incredible experience – not only learning the meditation technique, because I found that really powerful.

‘Did I keep it up? No. I did for a while and it’s a great tool to go back to and I wish I kept it up more.

‘But what was so incredible about it was the setting was stunning, all of that just completely lived up to expectation – and some.’

She went on: ‘But it was just having that experience of being a solo traveller with a group of people that you didn’t know and how we bonded and shared stories and went through this experience together and shared so much of our lives in conversation. 

‘And that to me is the magic of travelling anywhere. You could be on a bus in wherever it may be, you could be in a lovely meditation retreat in Byron Bay, but really what makes it is the people you meet and the people you’re thrown in with and that you have these experiences with.

‘It really brought it home. It was just such a magical couple of days away from the world. We saw a koala that lives in the forestry around there and there were just these really special quiet moments that felt really magical.’
