Also, it 91 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: feels like such an evolution of me. Yeah, so that 92 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: also happened, and they save up.

And I appreciate all your support. 95 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 1: But yeah, she's had a big wig. So let's just 96 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:48,919 Speaker 1: get into the episode. I went for a job with 97 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: the Commonwealth Games about a year ago and I missed out. 98 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 1: I was told I was the runner up, and I 99 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: was very disappointed, but kept trying to believe this or 100 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 1: something better. Fast forward to now and the Games have 101 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 1: been canceled and I would have been out of a job, 102 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: still waiting to see what is next. I love that. 103 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 1: Did the Commonwealth Games get canceled? 104 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, Victoria canned them. It's gonna cost them too much money. 105 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 1: So who's hosting them? It's up in the moment. 106 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 2: I think they have to pay a fine. 107 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: What Yeah, when's the Commonwealth Games again? 108 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 2: Twenty twenty six. 109 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:31,039 Speaker 1: Ah, so we've got time. 110 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 2: They've got time to sort out who's hosting it? 111 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:35,280 Speaker 1: So rogue. 112 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 2: So the most random thing they held a random press conference. 113 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 2: They're like, we've given up, We're not doing It's gonna 114 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 2: cost too much. 115 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 1: What a random little fact I know to put it 116 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: in this episode, everyone liked something today. But first of all, 117 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 1: I love this and this is such a perfect moment 118 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:01,159 Speaker 1: of like life happens for me it was never meant 119 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: for me. And I also really loved the saying of 120 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 1: like rejection is just redirection. So even though this person 121 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: doesn't fully know where they're getting redirected, it's like fully trusting. 122 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 2: That, Yeah, and it'll come. It'll be amazing. Update us 123 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 2: when it happens, Yes, please update us. The next one 124 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 2: we have is buying a house. We placed an offer 125 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,239 Speaker 2: on a house which felt so right, but the seller 126 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 2: accepted another offer. While we were sad, we held onto 127 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 2: the belief of it's this or something better. And the 128 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 2: next day we were shown another home which had everything 129 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 2: we wanted and our our offer was accepted. We got 130 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 2: the keys this week. 131 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: Oh I love this so much. I have the exact 132 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: same situation with when I was buying my car. I 133 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 1: fully put an offer on another car and he's like, 134 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 1: oh my god, I'm so sorry. We just like sold it, 135 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 1: and I was devastated. And then literally two days later 136 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 1: another car popped up that was like the more specific 137 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 1: to the model I wanted. It was cheaper and all 138 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: the things, and I was like, oh my god, oh so. 139 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 2: Meant to be. 140 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:12,679 Speaker 1: Yeah. 141 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 2: I feel like with such big things, you can it's 142 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 2: so easy to forget that you can get something better. 143 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: Yes, because it feels like, no, this is the only one. 144 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, Like it's the only car, it's the only house, 145 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 2: and it's close enough, and it's not perfect, but what 146 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 2: will be perfect? 147 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: Yes, and you can get really attached to it. 148 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 2: Yeah. So I love that. I love that it ended 149 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 2: up being so perfect for them. 150 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 1: My husband missed out on a job that would have 151 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 1: allowed us to move to the GC, which is what 152 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 1: we have been manifesting for so long. We were so 153 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: upset when he missed the job because the universe was 154 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: showing us all the signs that he was going to 155 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:54,560 Speaker 1: get it. Two months later, and completely out of the blue, 156 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 1: an incredible job opportunity at the Gold Coast got offered 157 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 1: to my husband, literally handed to him in a way 158 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 1: that we had never ever thought or anticipated, a much 159 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 1: better paying job and lots of flexibility around working from home. 160 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 1: We look back now and realize that things have worked 161 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 1: out better than we could have imagined. This experience reminded 162 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 1: me to trust the timing of the universe. I was 163 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,679 Speaker 1: so confused because we were all getting the signs we 164 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 1: asked for and positive confirmation that we would be getting 165 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 1: our desire, but we just had to be patient and 166 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 1: trust the plan. Oh my god, I love that she 167 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 1: too brought up the signs. Yeah, because that's such like 168 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: a common thing of it. I'm getting all the science 169 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 1: and then the universe is like, yeah, it's coming, just wait, 170 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 1: just wait, and then when you don't get like the 171 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 1: sides were wrong. 172 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 2: I love that she brought up timing too, because I 173 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 2: feel like that's something people couldn't forget. And I actually 174 00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,680 Speaker 2: I think it was Fee I was speaking to and 175 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 2: she said to me. She was like, if I got 176 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 2: offered my book five years ago, it would not be 177 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 2: the book that I wrote today. And I feel like 178 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 2: it's so easy to get caught up in like I 179 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 2: want it and I want it now, but you forget 180 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 2: that sometimes there's lessons and things you have to go 181 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,560 Speaker 2: through so that the thing you want is even better 182 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 2: than you could have imagined. 183 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,439 Speaker 1: Yes, so well that's how I feel about my law degree. Yeah, 184 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 1: Like so many people are like, oh are you like 185 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,679 Speaker 1: upset that you did six years of study and then 186 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 1: didn't use the degree. Yeah, and I'm like no, because 187 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 1: it was like what I needed to do in the 188 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 1: meantime to gain the skills and experiences to then do 189 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:39,079 Speaker 1: the thing. Mmm. I love it. It's just so much 190 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 1: about perspective, isn't it. 191 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 2: Yeah. Our next story, my high school accidentally enrolled me 192 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:50,719 Speaker 2: into the wrong subjects. 193 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: I would be so base. 194 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,199 Speaker 2: This is so roque, and I wasn't eligible for an 195 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 2: A taskore anymore, which means no ability to apply for 196 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 2: my dream course. Luckily, I had done a third three 197 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 2: in nursing assistance during grade twelve. This is the subject 198 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 2: that actually made me ineligible for an ATA score. Turns 199 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 2: out that course gives you automatic entry into my dream course, 200 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:18,439 Speaker 2: but only that course. Went from devastated and not motivated 201 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 2: to finish high school to totally relax because regardless of 202 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 2: my final grades, I was going to be admitted to 203 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 2: my course. 204 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 1: What did the chances? I know. 205 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,440 Speaker 2: That's why I loved this story so much. 206 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 1: Oh my god, I love and like it's just like 207 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 1: the universe putting that all together. 208 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 2: For Yeah, that's incredible because I can imagine being in 209 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 2: grade twelve and having a melt down if I found 210 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 2: out that I couldn't get into UNI because someone at 211 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 2: my school clicked the wrong button. 212 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 1: Oh like a meltdown. Yeah, yeah, like the Guidance County. 213 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 1: Yeah you didn't tell me. Oh my god. 214 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 2: But I don't know how it worked out for her. 215 00:11:54,280 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 1: That's beautiful, all right. Our next story. The first is 216 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 1: I was in a car accident and slipped two discs 217 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: and tore almost all my muscles in my back. Oh 218 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,440 Speaker 1: and I was on bed rest for around three months 219 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 1: and was able to work for a year. I lost friends, 220 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 1: a lot of money, and my health and wellbeing, my 221 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 1: sense of sanity, and my job. I thought that I 222 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 1: had lost everything. Whilst I was unable to work, I 223 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:30,199 Speaker 1: decided to start my own businesses because I thought I'd 224 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 1: never be able to work a normal job again with 225 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:36,680 Speaker 1: an injury slash chronic pain, and I started studying to 226 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 1: fill in time. Now, around seven years later, I have 227 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 1: two incredibly successful businesses, the lingerie boutique I began back then, 228 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,439 Speaker 1: and also a counseling and coaching business that I started 229 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: studying for during that time. If I hadn't had that 230 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,840 Speaker 1: car accident or that injury. I would not be here 231 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 1: with these two amazing businesses earning the money I am 232 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 1: and making the impact I am. 233 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 2: I love this story so much. 234 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 1: Oh, this is incredible. It makes me so happy, obviously 235 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 1: so devastating. Yeah, you know what came to mind when 236 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 1: I read this story is almost that I can't remember 237 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 1: the quote, but it's kind of like if you don't stop, 238 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 1: and it's really different to the story, but like, if 239 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 1: you don't stop and be grateful for what you have, 240 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:33,319 Speaker 1: the universe will remind you. Oh so it's like something 241 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 1: not intentionally bad will happen, because I don't believe in that, 242 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,320 Speaker 1: but it's like, if you don't realize, like how good 243 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 1: life really is, something will happen to make you realize. Yeah, 244 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 1: and it's also like making sure you're not getting to 245 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 1: that point. Obviously so different to this story, but that's 246 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 1: just like what it's. 247 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 2: Kind of like when when you get a little bit sick, 248 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,320 Speaker 2: like a bit of a ruddy nose, and then you're 249 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,679 Speaker 2: so grateful for what it feels like when you don't 250 00:13:55,720 --> 00:14:00,120 Speaker 2: have to deal with it exactly. Yeah, I love that 251 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 2: that quote, But. 252 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 1: That is an incredible story. 253 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 2: So the second story we have from the same person. 254 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 2: She said, there was a big storm in Newcastle and 255 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 2: the roof came off her house. 256 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:12,959 Speaker 1: Oh my god, she lost just. 257 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:16,199 Speaker 2: About everything she owned and everything she'd worked hard for 258 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 2: on her own. She's in brackets. I've lived alone since 259 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 2: I was fourteen. This, of course, forced me to move house. 260 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 2: I moved to a new unit and became friends with 261 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 2: the guy upstairs. We were out drinking one night and 262 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 2: his friend asked if he could bring his little sister. 263 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 2: Of course I said yes. That little sister became my 264 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 2: best friend. But the story doesn't end there. That little 265 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 2: sister slash. My best friend introduced me to her cousin, 266 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 2: who I am now engaged to, with kids, houses and 267 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 2: all of the love with. If I hadn't have lost 268 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 2: my home and had to move, I would never have 269 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 2: met my neighbor his friend, and then now my best 270 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 2: friend and fiance. 271 00:14:55,640 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 1: Live habits for me.

When I was on Matt leave, my 295 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 1: partner was keen to relocate back to where my family lives. 296 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 1: I wasn't really ready to leave CBR, but my job 297 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 1: said I could transfer, so we relocated. Once we moved 298 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 1: my job, it gave my role to someone else and 299 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: said I couldn't transfer anymore. I was super lost as 300 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 1: a new mum and had worked really hard on my 301 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 1: career to get where I was. I felt so defeated 302 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 1: about my career. In the end, I chose to not 303 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 1: take legal action and just trusted that there was a 304 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 1: dream job. Wait. I had no clue what the job was, 305 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 1: but I knew that something better was coming out of 306 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,200 Speaker 1: the blue. I got a call from an amazing role 307 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 1: that I was offered on the spot, a job I 308 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 1: didn't even know existed. It was flexible working and I 309 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,359 Speaker 1: get to fly back to CBR for work so I 310 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,399 Speaker 1: can still see my friends too. I have the best 311 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 1: boss who understands I am a mom first and foremost 312 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:27,879 Speaker 1: and is so supportive of still developing my career. Sorry 313 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,679 Speaker 1: long post, but it was just even better than I 314 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 1: could have imagined. To top it all off, I thought, 315 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,680 Speaker 1: since I'd never done this job before, that I would 316 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,119 Speaker 1: be taking a pay cut. I was okay with that, 317 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 1: but they matched my salary but with even more benefits. 318 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 1: I love that. Oh my god, that's amazing. 319 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 2: Such a happen and I think, like when something like 320 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 2: that happens and you choose to take the high road 321 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 2: and just trust and know something's better coming and you 322 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,879 Speaker 2: don't get caught up in like the nitty gritty. It 323 00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 2: just comes to you so much faster. 324 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 1: You're a quote the other day and it said the 325 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 1: best revenge is no revenge, and I was like, you're 326 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:12,959 Speaker 1: so right, Like any time that you do something with vengeance, 327 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:14,920 Speaker 1: it's like it's never gonna work out. 328 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:16,479 Speaker 2: No, it's not good energy. 329 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,239 Speaker 1: No, And it's just so much better to just like 330 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 1: you said, take the high road. And it's like, I'm 331 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 1: going to learn from this, I'm going to grow from this. 332 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 1: And I guarantee you why that's able. She was able 333 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:30,360 Speaker 1: to attract that so easily. 334 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 2: Wow, that's actually such a quote. Our next one. From 335 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:42,160 Speaker 2: what I've learned, rejection is redirection, So here it goes. 336 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 2: I was let go from my job as a real 337 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 2: estate receptionist. I was told my inexperience was starting to 338 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 2: show through and they didn't have time to train me. 339 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 2: I was one and a half assignments to go before 340 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,920 Speaker 2: I was certified to hold my full set for unrestricted 341 00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,880 Speaker 2: of sales and property management. When I was let go 342 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 2: after six weeks on the job, I was devastated as 343 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 2: my boss pulled me into the office and told me 344 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 2: I was being let go. I went home early that 345 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 2: day and applied for an educator role at my local 346 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:14,439 Speaker 2: out of school hours care club, starting from the bottom 347 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,359 Speaker 2: with no qualifications.

I would love to eventually work for 359 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:53,200 Speaker 2: a DCP of foster children.

Interesting. So it's like who you are 374 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,160 Speaker 1: after you're shown the contrast. Yeah, And I love that. 375 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 1: She's like she's shown that, no, I actually don't want 376 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 1: this job, and then she keeps being resilient and moving forward. 377 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, and not just like loving around being sad because 378 00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:57,199 Speaker 2: you got let go. 379 00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:58,679 Speaker 1: Yeah. I love that. 380 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 2: Our next one. I didn't get my first preference as 381 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,679 Speaker 2: a graduate nurse and was down on myself as I 382 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,400 Speaker 2: was comparing myself to people around me who had got 383 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 2: jobs they loved. Straight out of UNI, I began working 384 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 2: as a nurse in a ward that was super toxic 385 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 2: and affected me a lot. I almost gave up on 386 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:22,359 Speaker 2: the profession all together. So I kept applying for jobs 387 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,680 Speaker 2: while still working in the toxic ward. I kept getting 388 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:29,159 Speaker 2: knocked back, being told I needed more experience, until a 389 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 2: few weeks ago I received three callbacks for job interviews. 390 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 2: The last hospital I got an interview with was the 391 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,440 Speaker 2: one I was least keen on, and as I thought, 392 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,439 Speaker 2: I wasn't going to get it due to me doubting 393 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,159 Speaker 2: my skills and was so close to not going to 394 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,680 Speaker 2: the interview, but I decided to show up and try 395 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:48,160 Speaker 2: my best. Anyway, fast forward, I got offered two out 396 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,159 Speaker 2: of the three jobs soon after the interviews, but for 397 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 2: positions I wasn't super keen on. Although I was happy 398 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,479 Speaker 2: for an opportunity to leave my current work environment, I 399 00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,680 Speaker 2: accepted one of the jobs to start the end of 400 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 2: this year. Month. Then the final place that I was 401 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,679 Speaker 2: beating myself up over thinking that I didn't get the 402 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 2: job called me back yesterday saying that not only I 403 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 2: got the job, but in the exact word I have 404 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:12,880 Speaker 2: been manifesting for. 405 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's so beautiful. 406 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:16,360 Speaker 2: I know. 407 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 1: So again, it's like it's so beautiful when you are 408 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 1: currently somewhere you really don't want to be and you're like, nah, 409 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:25,920 Speaker 1: I'm going to keep trusting. 410 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,719 Speaker 2: I'd seen that. I think it was a TikTok. And 411 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 2: it's called like the beta something where sometimes you have 412 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,880 Speaker 2: to be somewhere that you hate and it's super toxic 413 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 2: and you despise it, so you don't get stuck because 414 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,359 Speaker 2: you move when you're super uncomfortable. But if you're in 415 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 2: like a job that you kind of like, you're happy 416 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 2: being there, your boss is nice or like, it's not 417 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:51,440 Speaker 2: super toxic, but you. 418 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,720 Speaker 1: Get complacent, You get complacent and you would never move. No, 419 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:56,880 Speaker 1: I love that. 420 00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 2: But sometimes you have to be put into something that's 421 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 2: just it's like not good at all, so that you 422 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 2: make the move and end up yeah, on the other end, 423 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:07,640 Speaker 2: so good. 424 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 1: Yeah. I applied for a number of internal jobs and 425 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:17,119 Speaker 1: was never successful. I finally gave up and decided to 426 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,680 Speaker 1: focus on having a baby instead. A few months later, 427 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,280 Speaker 1: I was offered to work in a dream role at 428 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 1: another location. I acted in the role, applied for the role, 429 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 1: and then found out I got it. A week later, 430 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,399 Speaker 1: I found out I was pregnant. I was then going 431 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:38,160 Speaker 1: off on Matt leave on double my original income. While 432 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,439 Speaker 1: I was off on Matt leave, the person in my 433 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 1: role at my preferred location retired and I was able 434 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 1: to transfer into that role. I have constantly been surprised 435 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:52,199 Speaker 1: and delighted about how easily everything worked out for me 436 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:53,639 Speaker 1: when I surrendered. 437 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 2: Is a beautiful thing. 438 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 1: This is like obviously, the whole context of this episode 439 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:03,400 Speaker 1: is like to surrender and not let things stress you out, 440 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 1: because oh, just as humans, God, we're highly anxious little 441 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:12,160 Speaker 1: things and we are so in our heads about everything. 442 00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,920 Speaker 1: And imagine if you went through life just being like, hmm, 443 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 1: this is happening for me, this is amazing. Yeah, and 444 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:21,960 Speaker 1: it's like really shitty things and you're just like, nah, 445 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:23,640 Speaker 1: I'm not even gonna let this rule my day. 446 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 2: I love that because I think you're the only person's 447 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:29,159 Speaker 2: day's threwning. 448 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 1: Yes, so just don't let it so just stop. But like, resilience, 449 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:39,120 Speaker 1: I honestly is probably like one of the best traits 450 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:43,560 Speaker 1: that you can be and do. Yeah, be and do 451 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,360 Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Have that's a better word. 452 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 2: I actually I'm falling out a quote. I saw this 453 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:54,160 Speaker 2: quote the other day where it was like the most 454 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 2: successful people have more beginnings than endings, and that's the difference. 455 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 2: And it's resilience. It's like the more times you bounce 456 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 2: back and the more times you start again and you're 457 00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,399 Speaker 2: not scared to start again and you do it, the 458 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 2: more successful you'll be. 459 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:12,679 Speaker 1: That's like every single overnight success you see, you realize 460 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 1: I've actually been doing it for like eight years or 461 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 1: saday You're like, oh, I dodn even know they're around. Then, exactly, 462 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 1: I love those. 463 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 2: Our next one, small one for you. The same thing 464 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:31,439 Speaker 2: happened to me. I resonated the story. I was gutted 465 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:33,879 Speaker 2: when I didn't get Taylor Swift tickets and the Wednesday 466 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 2: pre sale and then ended up getting great seats for 467 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 2: two different shows on the Friday sale. 468 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:43,720 Speaker 1: You literally included this because this is your story. It's 469 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 1: not exactly my. 470 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 2: Story because I am only going once. 471 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:50,920 Speaker 1: But that's amazing. We love yeah, we love you getting 472 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 1: Tailor Swift. The same thing happened actually to Tim with 473 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 1: Luke Holmes. Really yeah. So he wanted obviously Brisbane tickets 474 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 1: and didn't get them, but then they re released some 475 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 1: more tickets to Melbourne, so he's like, I'm just gonna 476 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 1: go there. I love that. Yeah, So he had a 477 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:13,120 Speaker 1: fun little weekend. Two. Next story, I decided to have Wow. 478 00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 1: I decided to have a career change quite soon after 479 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 1: completing a dual degree that I realized just wasn't for me. 480 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 1: It was a beag, but I trusted my gut and 481 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 1: that I wasn't meant to follow that pathway. I went 482 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 1: back to study within a new industry and ended up 483 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 1: applying for a casual job within this new field just 484 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,680 Speaker 1: a few hours a week with a really awesome organization. 485 00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:39,800 Speaker 1: Within a couple of weeks, I was asked to come 486 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:43,360 Speaker 1: on part, which I was super flattered by. I excelled 487 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 1: in the role so quickly because I had finally found 488 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,359 Speaker 1: exactly what I was meant to be doing. My gut 489 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,399 Speaker 1: instincts were one hundred percent right when I made the 490 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 1: decision to go back and start again. Fast forward to 491 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,679 Speaker 1: now two years later and I'm in the core leadership 492 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:03,439 Speaker 1: team traveling around Australia delivering our biggest projects and have 493 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,960 Speaker 1: had so many opportunities come my way. I love to 494 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,440 Speaker 1: tell my friends this story who are thinking of pivoting careers. 495 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,159 Speaker 1: You don't need to have it all figured out. You 496 00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:16,720 Speaker 1: just need to plant a seed somewhere. It's bound to 497 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,359 Speaker 1: grow if you water it. I love that just throws 498 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:22,640 Speaker 1: in our own quote we don't even need so it's 499 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:27,919 Speaker 1: so that's incredible, And a huge thing I think is 500 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 1: so interesting is like, as humans, how we do not 501 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:36,359 Speaker 1: like pivoting. Not known, It's like we don't like change. Yeah, 502 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,680 Speaker 1: so it creatures of habit. But that is like the 503 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 1: one thing that I've noticed throughout like my self development journey, 504 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:48,440 Speaker 1: is like the people who are okay with pivoting are 505 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 1: always so much more successful, always have so many more 506 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 1: opportunities and excel compared to the people who are like, 507 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,120 Speaker 1: oh no, I'll just keep going the same path, even 508 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 1: though it's like, you know, I'm not passionate about it anymore. 509 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,320 Speaker 2: I agree and like starting again. And I feel like 510 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 2: that's why people get stuck on pivoting, because they look 511 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:09,120 Speaker 2: at it as a step backward. 512 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, where it's really it's a step forward in 513 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 1: what you want to do. 514 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:20,000 Speaker 2: Yeah. And next one we put an offer down on 515 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 2: a house and we were so disappointed when we didn't 516 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,240 Speaker 2: get it. The next week a house that was ten 517 00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 2: times better popped. 518 00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,760 Speaker 1: Up and it was out. Oh another goodie, Another goodie, 519 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:36,360 Speaker 1: another good house. Love that. I love that, all right, guys, 520 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 1: Our last story, and oh my god, this is a goodie. 521 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:44,040 Speaker 1: So I have worked for this specific company for thirteen 522 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:46,760 Speaker 1: and a half years, and I've literally given up and 523 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:50,280 Speaker 1: sacrificed so much my life for this career. I have 524 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 1: moved states, had multiple failed relationships, and really have seen 525 00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,720 Speaker 1: my family and friends because of how much time this 526 00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:00,200 Speaker 1: career has taken up. Twelve months ago, I really it's 527 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:04,080 Speaker 1: just how unhappy I was. I felt stuck financially and 528 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 1: also had the limited belief that I would never succeed 529 00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:10,640 Speaker 1: without this job. I decided to take my long service leave, 530 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,480 Speaker 1: go to Europe, then decide what's next for me. But 531 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:17,000 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. I was comfortable being comfortable, so 532 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,280 Speaker 1: thought I'd just go back to my old job and 533 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,760 Speaker 1: put up with this yucky, stuck feeling. Fast forward to 534 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 1: the last day of my holiday, I get a call 535 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 1: from my boss. I have been made redundant. Although the 536 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:32,480 Speaker 1: uncertainty of not having a job is scary, I truly 537 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:37,480 Speaker 1: believe this is what I manifested because I wanted financial freedom. 538 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 1: I've got a big payout, and I wanted to slow 539 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 1: down and not work as hard as I have for years. 540 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,960 Speaker 1: I'm leaning into discomfort as I am a workaholic, but 541 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:51,920 Speaker 1: many things have happened this year that has been major 542 00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:55,240 Speaker 1: warning signs that I need to slow down and not 543 00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,200 Speaker 1: make so much of my life about work. I also 544 00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 1: looked at what I had written in my Life Life 545 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:04,120 Speaker 1: Happens for Me journal months ago and I had forgotten 546 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:09,320 Speaker 1: about and everything I had written has come true. So 547 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:11,480 Speaker 1: I wanted to say a big thank you to the 548 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,840 Speaker 1: ron C girlies for inspiring me to start manifesting, journaling 549 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,040 Speaker 1: and truly going after what I want. 550 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 2: Yay, the journals are magical. 551 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:26,360 Speaker 1: I'm convinced.
