Speaker 1: life pass you by, then you're.
Speaker 2: In the right place.
Speaker 1: Hello, my loves, and welcome back to the potty. Today's
Speaker 1: episode is a bit of a tough love one. I
Speaker 1: wrote this on the plane when I was coming back
Speaker 1: from Europe.
Speaker 2: Honestly a bit of a different It was a bit of.
Speaker 1: An alter ego moment and I read my notes out
Speaker 1: to a tr and we were like, oh, she's being
Speaker 1: a bit brutal, and.
Speaker 2: It's what I needed to hear.
Speaker 1: Personally, though, well, I feel like it's very much old
Speaker 1: Georgie who just used to say whatever she wanted. And
Speaker 1: I am a bit brutal, but I say it with
Speaker 1: so much love, and I feel like this is for
Speaker 1: the people. If you ever, you know, if you catch
Speaker 1: yourself saying I don't have enough money, money is really
Speaker 1: hard to come by. If only I had a bit
Speaker 1: more money for this or that.
Speaker 2: This episode is for you.
Speaker 1: It's basically just a solo pep talk about how important
Speaker 1: our mind'st is around money and around like attracting and
Speaker 1: holding wealth and abundance. Guys, I have been on such
Speaker 1: a journey, but your mindset and the words you speak like,
Speaker 1: I love this saying like the words you speak are
Speaker 1: honestly spells.
Speaker 2: Like what you're.
Speaker 1: Saying out like and you're projecting that's what comes to life.
Speaker 1: So if you're constantly saying like I don't have enough money,
Speaker 1: you're complaining about certain things, I just would be so
Speaker 1: careful listen to this episode because it just might open up.
Speaker 1: I truly believe because in this episode I do talk
Speaker 1: about how much people can be a victim by money,
Speaker 1: and it's how we're brought up, it's you know, it's
Speaker 1: how we're taught by society.
Speaker 2: So I get it. But I truly believe that.
Speaker 1: If you are being a victim somewhere, you are not
Speaker 1: reaching your full potential and you're playing small.
Speaker 2: So if you do feel like you're.
Speaker 1: A victim to money, the great moment of having that
Speaker 1: realization is you're not in your full potential with abundance
Speaker 1: with money, So you.
Speaker 2: Get to change, you get to evolve.
Speaker 1: Also, guys, a special announcement, we are running a really
Speaker 1: fun promo to celebrate the restock of our Goddess Energy

Speaker 1: our weekly recommendations tt.
Speaker 3: Mine is so biased the rise app money content.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say the same thing, you can't steal mine.
Speaker 3: I've been going through it and honestly, because I edited
Speaker 3: it all, I did watch it. But then I've been
Speaker 3: rewatching it and I've written like another three pages of
Speaker 3: realizations of things I need to work on, and.
Speaker 2: It's just so good.
Speaker 3: And I have been working on my money mindset a lot,
Speaker 3: so even just having the meditations to listen to and
Speaker 3: go to every day so quickly and easily has been amazing.
Speaker 3: And I'll give a second recommendation, and that is if
Speaker 3: you're after like a silly, little fun movie a family
Speaker 3: Affair on Netflix, it's Zach Efron and Nicole Kidman.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, what a vibe.
Speaker 3: It is just like a really silly one though, So
Speaker 3: if you're want something of subsistance. I wouldn't watch that,
Speaker 3: but just like a bit of like, you know, when
Speaker 3: you really just want to be entertained in tune. Now, Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's one of those Oh yeah, what about you?
Speaker 2: What is your reck?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 1: I was going to also recommend rise because such a
Speaker 1: fun month, and I have been doing the meditation on
Speaker 1: the way to work, and it's really about setting myself
Speaker 1: into the frequency of being this.
Speaker 2: Really, you know, my most abundant self.
Speaker 1: So then throughout the day I'm making decisions in that
Speaker 1: same frequency, you know. And I love that I'm matching her,
Speaker 1: so that comes to me quicker. So that's what I've
Speaker 1: been doing and loving. And then other recommendations. I listen
Speaker 1: to this podcast episode let me.
Speaker 2: Just get it off.
Speaker 1: So it is a Grace Beverley working hard, hardly working
Speaker 1: ep and it is genius is more about habits than genetics.
Speaker 1: How to Find Your Five Am Club with Robin Sharma.
Speaker 1: So I've never read that book, The Five Am Club.
Speaker 1: And then I listened to this episode and it was
Speaker 1: so good. He's amazing, And now I'm gonna go listen
Speaker 1: to the book.
Speaker 2: But just that episode I got so much out of highly.
Speaker 1: Recommend Love I'll give that a listen, definitely do it.
Speaker 2: Shall we get into the episode.
Speaker 3: Yes, you know it's gonna be a good episode when
Speaker 3: Georgie has her journal out to read from.
Speaker 1: I wrote this episode when we were coming back from
Speaker 1: Dubai and guys, I was on a bit of a
Speaker 1: different vibration because I read my notes back and I
Speaker 1: was like, oh, she was a bit spicy.
Speaker 2: I read some to a tea and she was like,
Speaker 2: holy shit, I know.
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, okay, so this episode is
Speaker 1: going to be a bit of tough love. But I
Speaker 1: feel like, really just it channeled through, so it's obviously
Speaker 1: meant to be for you know, specific people. So if
Speaker 1: it's not for you, that's absolutely fine. But I feel
Speaker 1: like this is either going to trigger you or really
Speaker 1: kind of like wake you up to be like, Okay,
Speaker 1: this is somewhere I need to look, which is basically
Speaker 1: what all self development should do. If every single like
Speaker 1: self development podcast or training or whatever just makes you
Speaker 1: feel like good, excited and motivated, you're not doing it right.
Speaker 1: Like you should be triggered, because when you're triggered, it's
Speaker 1: showing you areas where you do need to work on,
Speaker 1: where you do need to up level. So that's a
Speaker 1: little disclimer.
Speaker 3: Okay, if you get mad, it's your fault.
Speaker 2: It's you, not me. Yeah, I'm just gonna take no responsibility.
Speaker 1: No I do you know. I do take a bit
Speaker 1: of responsibility. But no, it's funny games.
Speaker 3: It is you'll get my life reaction to this pep
Speaker 3: talk that I need.
Speaker 1: Okay, So basically, you know, this whole month, we're really
Speaker 1: chatting about money. We have our money month in the
Speaker 1: Rise app, and we also do have a money course coming.
Speaker 1: So I keep telling everyone and then it is like,
Speaker 1: no one actually knows that. I'm like, oh, now they do.
Speaker 2: There's no secrets on the podcast. No.
Speaker 1: And I was thinking about this the other day and
Speaker 1: it's a very niche texture with money mindset, and I
Speaker 1: feel like it might be a blind spot quite a
Speaker 1: few people. And if you can look at this and
Speaker 1: change this, this will be such a catalyst for you
Speaker 1: attracting more wealth in easier and in a better way.
Speaker 1: So yeah, let's just do it. I really want you
Speaker 1: to think about in this episode where you are being
Speaker 1: a victim to money, So where you're in a victim
Speaker 1: mindset to money, it might be very obvious where you're
Speaker 1: just like, oh, I never have enough money, it's never
Speaker 1: coming to me. Or my friends have money, my friends
Speaker 1: have trust funds, my boyfriend's got money, blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: Like that's a very obvious. You're in a victim mindset.
Speaker 1: I want you to even go a layer deeper where
Speaker 1: you have become a victim to money. So let's just
Speaker 1: say you work for someone, you get to work from
Speaker 1: home a couple of days, and you know you're in
Speaker 1: this victim mindset. No, sorry, you're in this mindset where
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, I want more money and it's not
Speaker 1: coming to me. But you're having thoughts like oh, I
Speaker 1: have to, you know, do this job to get money,
Speaker 1: or I have to do this certain thing, and I
Speaker 1: want to flip that on its head. And like I
Speaker 1: wrote here, poor you forgetting to make money.
Speaker 2: Poor you.
Speaker 1: You get to sit at your computer at home, in
Speaker 1: your comfy you know, sweats, tap on your computer and
Speaker 1: make money. Tear scringe, so literally, you know, like we
Speaker 1: are so privileged, so privileged, we are so privileged. Like
Speaker 1: even like me, I get to sit on this microphone
Speaker 1: talk about what I believe in, and I get to
Speaker 1: make money and sometimes I'm such a victim to money.
Speaker 1: Like if you get to work from home and make money,
Speaker 1: what a fucking privilege. And there's people who complain about that,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, and that's even another thing, is like
Speaker 1: if you get to work from home, not only can
Speaker 1: you get paid for that, but you also have a
Speaker 1: lot of privilege to do a side hustle, you know,
Speaker 1: like you have the means if you have your own computer,
Speaker 1: you have a means to make money. Like the amount
Speaker 1: of money you can just make on social media, on
Speaker 1: you know, with tech is actually ridiculous.
Speaker 2: Like we have never.
Speaker 1: Been in a time where it is so easy to
Speaker 1: make money, and there's so many people complaining about it.
Speaker 3: Like poor me, I get to go to work and
Speaker 3: make TikTok's and get paid for it.
Speaker 2: Literally, Oh my.
Speaker 3: I die.
Speaker 2: Sorry to all social media.
Speaker 1: Love you if I love you, I know, like poor you.
Speaker 1: You get to like poor me. I got a cake
Speaker 1: thrown out my face and that's something that made me money,
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, like, imagine if I was an
Speaker 1: invictive mindset about that. I know, and so many people are.
Speaker 1: And it's because maybe you're not in your dream job,
Speaker 1: maybe you don't make money in like the best way.
Speaker 1: But if you are not grateful for what you currently
Speaker 1: have or even grateful for what you could have and
Speaker 1: the means you could have, you are blocking yourself for
Speaker 1: more money to come in because you are in a
Speaker 1: victim mindset and such a like yeah, like you actually
Speaker 1: have so much more privilege than so many other people,
Speaker 1: and you're like, oh poor me.
Speaker 3: Like, to be honest, if you live in Australia, you
Speaker 3: have nothing to be worried about to an extent, like
Speaker 3: what other country do you have the privilege to maybe
Speaker 3: get CENTERINGK if you lose your job? True, there's so
Speaker 3: many things that we take for granted that we expect
Speaker 3: as like the bare minimum that isn't.
Speaker 1: That's actually something Tim said after our euro trip. He's like, wow,
Speaker 1: I it has really illuminated how much privilege I have
Speaker 1: and how much For example, you know, if Ivy has
Speaker 1: a tantrum or something happens during his day, he will
Speaker 1: then let that affect his whole day and be in
Speaker 1: a victim mindset. And he's like, I am so privileged
Speaker 1: and I've let the smallest things affect my mindset and mood,
Speaker 1: which is such a privilege. And he's like, I can't
Speaker 1: believe I've you know, let myself do that. And I
Speaker 1: think it's really easy to get into a victim mindset
Speaker 1: when you do have more privileges. Absolutely, could you just
Speaker 1: expect it? And that's what he said. He's like, I
Speaker 1: just expect things to be amazing twenty four to seven.
Speaker 1: So when they're not, I'm grumpy and I'm like I
Speaker 1: could have Todd.
Speaker 3: But glad this trip illuminated it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm like, we're doing shadow work right now. This
Speaker 1: is amazing. So that's even the first, you know, thing
Speaker 1: I want you guys to start thinking about is where
Speaker 1: are you even not like you're like, oh, I want
Speaker 1: to earn more money. You're not even letting your mind
Speaker 1: go to places where you could earn more money. For example,
Speaker 1: I'm someone who has a seven and.
Speaker 2: Eight figure business.
Speaker 1: I still sell clothes on deepop.
Speaker 2: I love that, and that comes from.
Speaker 1: A value of I hate waste. So if I have
Speaker 1: some beautiful outfits in my closet that I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: wear that are super valuable, I have this and I
Speaker 1: also buy things on deepop and I have this thing
Speaker 1: about like I really want someone to have it. Who's
Speaker 1: going to value it and love it and love it?
Speaker 1: Obviously if it's you know, it's not a designer outfit,
Speaker 1: Like I would just give a lot of things to
Speaker 1: friends and you know, my mum and whatnot. But if
Speaker 1: it is something I'm like, someone would love this and
Speaker 1: not only love it because I got it for fifty
Speaker 1: percent off. You know, that's like a value of mine.
Speaker 1: But there would be people who are you know, they
Speaker 1: possibly work full time or whatnot, and they're like, well,
Speaker 1: I'm not doing that because I have, you know, a
Speaker 1: big girl job. Or even like you can literally walk
Speaker 1: dogs and get paid. Like you're walking anyway, Maybe you
Speaker 1: go for an afternoon walk every afternoon for an hour
Speaker 1: to get in your steps. You could literally be a
Speaker 1: paid dog walker and get paid to walk. I used
Speaker 1: to love cooking healthy recipes, so I made a healthy
Speaker 1: recipe ebook and got paid for it.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Do you mean there's so many things that you're probably
Speaker 1: already doing now that you're like, I could actually get
Speaker 1: paid for this.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like if you like going to the gym, maybe
Speaker 3: considering a p T shirt on the side, Yeah, and
Speaker 3: run a class on a Saturday morning or something.
Speaker 2: Yes, Like even stuff like that I guarantee you.
Speaker 1: There's so many people are like, oh, I never would
Speaker 1: have thought of that, But I'm complaining that I don't
Speaker 1: have much money.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you're not willing to do anything.
Speaker 1: No, That's what I'm talking about, being at a victim mindset.
Speaker 1: Like I even saw this TikTok the other day and
Speaker 1: this girl was like, do you know there's something happening
Speaker 1: in Australia right now where they're doing tests on like
Speaker 1: it was something to do with like females, so only
Speaker 1: females could do it. But she's like, I literally just
Speaker 1: had to give them my blood and I got paid
Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty dollars and it was for like
Speaker 1: a test they're doing. I think it's to do with
Speaker 1: like a varian cancer. I don't know, something like that.
Speaker 1: And she's like, there's actually so many things like this,
Speaker 1: but like just no one sorts it out. And I
Speaker 1: was like smart, very And that's even like I have
Speaker 1: this like what kind came to light of just you know,
Speaker 1: money mindset. And on our trip I on our euro trip,
Speaker 1: I bought a designer handbag and so we have this
Speaker 1: thing in all the countries where basically you can get
Speaker 1: if you buy something overseas and go back to your country,
Speaker 1: you can get the tax back because you're not a
Speaker 1: residence so you should be paying tax there. So I
Speaker 1: bought my bag in Paris, and so when I left
Speaker 1: to come home, you have to just like go to
Speaker 1: this like duty free place in the airport, show them
Speaker 1: the receipt, show them the bag, and then you get
Speaker 1: refunded like ten to fifteen percent. So my bag was
Speaker 1: very expensive, so like I was getting refunded like nine
Speaker 1: hundred dollars and it was like we had to like
Speaker 1: find this place and like sort it out. And Tim
Speaker 1: was like, why are we even doing this?
Speaker 2: Like who cares?
Speaker 1: Like just don't worry about it, Like, Tim, you are
Speaker 1: so free, like this is he did not say that.
Speaker 1: His was like he just like couldn't be bothered. Oh
Speaker 1: but that's like tired, yeah, And no. He even like
Speaker 1: made a joke about basically me being stingy, and I
Speaker 1: was like, no, yes, Tim, this is like three weeks
Speaker 1: of Ivy's daycare or like a pair of designer shoes.
Speaker 3: Exactly, Oh of that.
Speaker 1: And that's the thing is like it's even a reflection
Speaker 1: of like are you willing to take extra steps, are
Speaker 1: you willing to do extra things?
Speaker 2: And that's the.
Speaker 1: Beautiful thing is like blessed him. He honestly would be
Speaker 1: so fine with no money, like the simplest life. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it very much reflects his mindset. So that's not like,
Speaker 1: you know, bagging him out or anything, but it really
Speaker 1: just illuminated to me of my mindset. I'm like, if
Speaker 1: I can get nine hundred dollars back of specimply going
Speaker 1: to this place in the airport where we've got to
Speaker 1: wait three hours, anyway, of course I'm going to do it.
Speaker 1: But so many people are like, oh, poor me, I
Speaker 1: don't have money, but they're not willing to do the
Speaker 1: extra steps to let the money come in because often
Speaker 1: we get really stuck in the well. I want more money,
Speaker 1: so it has to come through my job, so it
Speaker 1: has to come through this specific way. But I have
Speaker 1: this belief that money is coming to me, like money
Speaker 1: is circulating through If you think about the amount of
Speaker 1: money circulating this earth is wild and it is honestly,
Speaker 1: it's just it's trying to come to you. It's trying
Speaker 1: to support you and protect you.
Speaker 2: It's like this mass skill.
Speaker 1: And energy that wants to be there for you, and
Speaker 1: so often we block it. So often we're like, oh
Speaker 1: I just I can't be bothered. But then we winch
Speaker 1: about not having it.
Speaker 3: And it's almost like a bit silly of us to
Speaker 3: think that we're just going to get all this extra
Speaker 3: money without putting any more work in because you're not
Speaker 3: exchanging energy then, But.
Speaker 2: It's that's the thing, is it?
Speaker 1: Apps money can actually come to you by you not
Speaker 1: putting in work, and like you know, people win the lotto,
Speaker 1: it can actually come to you in those ways.
Speaker 2: It's just if you it's almost.
Speaker 1: Like an ego thing to be like, oh, well I'm
Speaker 1: not dog walking or like yeah, I'm not selling my
Speaker 1: clothes on deep pop. Like that's embarrassing yea, you know,
Speaker 1: like it's an ego sort of move, even tim being
Speaker 1: like oh why you're so stingy? You know, Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: even something to look at. Where is your ego blocking
Speaker 1: you for more money to come in? That's interesting And
Speaker 1: that's even like I consider myself a very wealthy person,
Speaker 1: but I'm also highly resourceful. Yeah, if I can get
Speaker 1: something cheaper, I will. If I can get money back somehow,
Speaker 1: I will. Obviously I'm not ever crossing my boundaries or
Speaker 1: crossing integrity, Yeah.
Speaker 2: To get more money.
Speaker 1: But it's like, I am so willing to do those
Speaker 1: extra steps for that money to come in.
Speaker 3: Yeah. And it's as simple as like, if you're buying
Speaker 3: a camera, make sure you get a receipt and claim
Speaker 3: it on tax if you work in content. And it's
Speaker 3: like some people I know that working content have like
Speaker 3: bought the cameras and stuff and I'm like, well, you
Speaker 3: should claim it on tax because you use it for work,
Speaker 3: And they're like, oh, but I can't be bothered. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I can't be bothered keeping the receipt. I can't be bothered.
Speaker 2: And how much money they have coming in.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're like, yeah, that's interesting, Yeah exactly. Okay, So
Speaker 1: I and this is you know, a lot to do.
Speaker 1: I'm kind of talking about a shadow work lens here,
Speaker 1: which is basically just thinking about And that's the thing
Speaker 1: is often this story we have around money or how
Speaker 1: we feel stuck in money, it's not because logically we
Speaker 1: don't want more money to come in. It's because we
Speaker 1: are gaining something by staying where we are by having
Speaker 1: this specific money story. So, for example, let's just go
Speaker 1: to that deep hop example of mine, maybe you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm not you know, I refuse to sell my clothes
Speaker 1: on deep hop because it looks cheap or scrappy, crappy,
Speaker 1: and so it's like, Okay, that's your story. What are
Speaker 1: you gaining by having that story?
Speaker 2: What it like?
Speaker 1: What's the thing that you think you get by having
Speaker 1: that story, because you wouldn't have that story unless you're
Speaker 1: getting something or even you know, ask yourself. Maybe you
Speaker 1: have the story of like, oh, well, I'm not good
Speaker 1: with money because my parents had a shit relationship with money.
Speaker 1: They never showed me how to use money, and so
Speaker 1: anytime I get it, I just like spend it. And
Speaker 1: it makes sense because my parents have a shit relationship
Speaker 1: with money. That is completely valid. And look, we can
Speaker 1: go into limiting beliefs. We can do that work, and
Speaker 1: I absolutely do that work. But let's just go one
Speaker 1: step further. What are you actually gaining by having that story?
Speaker 1: What I can see straight away is you don't have
Speaker 1: to take responsibility. You can lose money and then let's
Speaker 1: just say your partner pays for things and you can
Speaker 1: blame oh, I'm shit with money because of my parents,
Speaker 1: and you actually get to gain You never have to
Speaker 1: be a big girl and actually look at your finances
Speaker 1: and actually take responsibility.
Speaker 2: So that's what you're.
Speaker 1: Gaining by having that money story.
Speaker 3: You don't have to make big purchases or investments like
Speaker 3: buying a house because your parents bad with money, So
Speaker 3: how how would you even get there?
Speaker 2: Exactly?
Speaker 1: And a lot of people think, no, no, I have
Speaker 1: this story. This is just my reality and it sucks.
Speaker 1: And yes I'm not saying it doesn't suck, like your
Speaker 1: experience is so valid, but you would not have this
Speaker 1: story or belief unless you are gaining something from it.
Speaker 1: So let's almost like bypass the ego stuff and go
Speaker 1: straight to oh what am I actually gaining from? Not
Speaker 1: ever looking at extra income streams. Maybe it's like you
Speaker 1: actually just don't want to do anymore, Like not that
Speaker 1: you're being lazy, but it's like maybe you actually don't
Speaker 1: want to earn more money because that would mean you
Speaker 1: get into a higher tax bracket you have to pay
Speaker 1: more tax, and that's scary to you, you know, like
Speaker 1: it can be something so much deeper. And when we
Speaker 1: shine a light on these things and really illuminate them,
Speaker 1: it's such an amazing moment to be like.
Speaker 2: Oh, this is the real story.
Speaker 3: And I think as well with being scared to diverse
Speaker 3: fire your income streams, so like look at other ways.
Speaker 3: Sometimes it just comes down to like it's a bit
Speaker 3: of an ego fluff. Like if you look at someone
Speaker 3: who's working multiple jobs, you go, oh, my gosh, well
Speaker 3: they're obviously not earning enough from their regular day job,
Speaker 3: or it's not as good as mine or all these things.
Speaker 3: But it's like maybe they're earning more than you from
Speaker 3: their regular day job, but they want an abundance of
Speaker 3: money so they can spend however they please and be
Speaker 3: a bit more willingly with their finances so they make
Speaker 3: sure they get that. So like maybe they're earning one
Speaker 3: hundred thousand dollars from their full time job, but they
Speaker 3: still work it like I don't know, mecha or something
Speaker 3: on the weekends because they like make up and that
Speaker 3: gives them a discount and money to spend. So like
Speaker 3: you can't really judge. But also if you're having that
Speaker 3: judgment on yourself and go, oh, well, I wouldn't want
Speaker 3: to work a retail job on the weekend, look at
Speaker 3: where that's coming from.
Speaker 1: Totally, And I think, also, yeah, like what are you
Speaker 1: gaining from that story, I was even thinking back to
Speaker 1: when I first started on my money mindset. And so
Speaker 1: when I was doing my law degree and I was working,
Speaker 1: it was probably a little bit more than part time.
Speaker 1: It was like a good three to four days a week.
Speaker 1: But I really leant into this story that I was
Speaker 1: always broke and I was always poor and I was always.
Speaker 2: Living week to week.
Speaker 1: And I like, when I was prepping this episode, I
Speaker 1: was thinking, Oh, what was I gaining from that?
Speaker 2: And so I wrote down I.
Speaker 1: Was gaining the story of like, oh, I worked so hard.
Speaker 1: Not only am I studying, but I'm also working basically
Speaker 1: full time.
Speaker 2: Poor me. I got to say that to everyone. I
Speaker 2: got to feel better.
Speaker 1: That's a dopamine hire Like, not only that I did that.
Speaker 2: Poor me.
Speaker 1: We love being victims, Yeah, we absolutely love it. And
Speaker 1: that's the thing is my my parents would absolutely indulge
Speaker 1: me in that.
Speaker 2: They'd be like, oh, she's such a hot worker.
Speaker 1: Not only that, like, for example, because I wasn't working
Speaker 1: for time in a new part time tim would pay
Speaker 1: for extra things. Again, he would indulge me, and he
Speaker 1: would be like, Oh it's right, babe, I've got it.
Speaker 1: You know, you work so hard. And don't have much money,
Speaker 1: so I could I could lean into that story. I
Speaker 1: could not take responsibility. I actually remember this, this, This
Speaker 1: is a key moment where my mindset changed around money.
Speaker 1: So I was only working part time, I was working
Speaker 1: my law degree, and I got a speeding fine. I
Speaker 1: got my red Joe and some some other bill came
Speaker 1: in and it was like twelve hundred dollars and I
Speaker 1: had only like six hundred dollars to my name.
Speaker 2: And I remember winging to Tim and being.
Speaker 1: Like, oh, I got this speeding fine and this happened,
Speaker 1: and I'm so shit with money.
Speaker 2: And I remember him.
Speaker 1: Like turning around and being like, Georgia, you earn like
Speaker 1: eight hundred dollars a week, Like sort it out, like
Speaker 1: sort it out. And I was like, pop off.
Speaker 2: Tim shot.
Speaker 1: I was shocked, and it was like, yeah, you're actually right,
Speaker 1: And I actually gained so much by leaning into I'm broke.
Speaker 2: I actually gained so much, So no.
Speaker 1: Wonder why I keep creating scenarios where I'm broke. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And that was such an epiphany moment. And that's honestly
Speaker 1: when things changed. When I became aware of my money
Speaker 1: story and what I was gaining from staying in that
Speaker 1: victim mentality and also another thing I was gaining again,
Speaker 1: I got to plan to the I'm a poor student story,
Speaker 1: and I don't have to make the next step. I
Speaker 1: didn't have to start saving for a house.
Speaker 2: I didn't have to even think about bigger things.
Speaker 1: Because I'm like, I'm the poor student again.
Speaker 2: It's a responsibility.
Speaker 1: I wanted to stay a kid, which is fine. Yeah
Speaker 1: I was actually quite young.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's like just being aware of that rather
Speaker 3: than like almost being avoidant with it, I think, because
Speaker 3: I think I did a similar thing where I was
Speaker 3: earning like a decent amount of money while I was
Speaker 3: working while studying, but I told myself, oh, I'm so young,
Speaker 3: I'm a student, and I didn't really save for a house.
Speaker 3: And that's fine because I chose to spend my money
Speaker 3: on other things that filled my cup. But I should
Speaker 3: have come from a place of like ownership rather than
Speaker 3: avoidance in going Yeah, I'm owning money, but I'm choosing
Speaker 3: it to spend. I'm choosing to spend it on travel
Speaker 3: right now, because I'm never gonna be in my early
Speaker 3: twenties again with the flexibility to go away for six weeks.
Speaker 3: Because once I start working full time, pending your style
Speaker 3: a job like a six week holidays bit more rare,
Speaker 3: Like it's so fine to do whatever you feel with
Speaker 3: your money, but just do it from a place of like,
Speaker 3: I have the privilege to choose to do this with
Speaker 3: my money, rather than I'll pull me. I don't have
Speaker 3: enough to do the big things, so I'm gonna do
Speaker 3: this instead, Like, be proud of your choice. Be proud,
Speaker 3: like I'm choosing to travel right now because that's what's
Speaker 3: gonna make me feel amazing. And I know a house
Speaker 3: is there when I come back.
Speaker 1: Yes, And that's kind of the point. It's what you
Speaker 1: do actually doesn't matter. It's your mindset the way you
Speaker 1: do it, And that's all I'm talking about. I'm not
Speaker 1: trying to like shit on certain people doing certain things,
Speaker 1: because I do actually believe you can do anything and
Speaker 1: it can be amazing. But I'm yeah, I'm talking about
Speaker 1: when you're in a victim mindset around money, around certain things,
Speaker 1: but you're making choices, yeah that propel that victim mindset.
Speaker 1: And see I see stuff on you know TikTok. It's
Speaker 1: very trendy to be like you won't always be twenty
Speaker 1: three traveling the world, like you can just earn more
Speaker 1: money when you get back, and I'm like, yes, I
Speaker 1: love that because I remember I did want to travel
Speaker 1: when I was younger, but I had all like my
Speaker 1: parents for very much like no at this age, you
Speaker 1: say for a house and you do this, and so
Speaker 1: I did it. But it wasn't like my choice. I
Speaker 1: was just doing because I had to do it.
Speaker 2: So I do look at those people and I'm like,
Speaker 2: good on you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's absolutely the truth. But as long as you're like, yes,
Speaker 1: this is what I want to do, and it's coming
Speaker 1: from a very empowered space.
Speaker 3: Because I actually saw a TikTok the other day of
Speaker 3: this girl who was like, all I want to do
Speaker 3: right now is be on a beach in Europe, but
Speaker 3: I bought a house last year and now I can't.
Speaker 3: And there were people in the comments going, hey, I'm
Speaker 3: someone in Europe would much rather be in a house
Speaker 3: I own right now. So I think, recognize the privilege
Speaker 3: you have and make your decisions, but make them for
Speaker 3: you and not for anyone else. Like if you're going
Speaker 3: to buy a house, amazing, but don't buy your house
Speaker 3: and then be like poor me, I have a house,
Speaker 3: I can't go to Europe.
Speaker 1: Like, well, I even think this is such an interesting
Speaker 1: topic that we always want what we don't have, and
Speaker 1: again our brains wired this way. But the grass is
Speaker 1: always greener, like you think, the grass is always greener
Speaker 1: on the other side.
Speaker 2: And that's like.
Speaker 1: When people ask me, oh, do you regret doing a
Speaker 1: six year law degree and then not using your degree,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, no, I gained so much from that.
Speaker 1: Why would I regret that? Whereas it's so easy because
Speaker 1: of society being like, oh yeah, that if I didn't
Speaker 1: have this house, I could be going to Europe. It's
Speaker 1: so easy to want the other thing. But again, take
Speaker 1: some responsibility, even if it is a choice that you don't.
Speaker 1: And this is actually reminding me. I made the choice
Speaker 1: that I probably wasn't going to practice law six months
Speaker 1: before I finish, and I it then got harder to
Speaker 1: show up for my law job, to show up for
Speaker 1: my PLT, and you know, to do the study because
Speaker 1: I was like, fuck, I'm probably not gonna do this.
Speaker 1: But I really had to sit in the well. I
Speaker 1: made this decision and I'm going to see it through
Speaker 1: because I am someone who finishes. I am someone who
Speaker 1: stays consistent. I am someone who is committed and I.
Speaker 2: Choose to be that person.
Speaker 1: So even though I'm probably not going to finish a
Speaker 1: practice law, I'm going to be so grateful that I
Speaker 1: gain these skills that I get my law certificate, Like
Speaker 1: what a proud achievement. And I had to really mentally
Speaker 1: challenge myself in those moments, which can be hard because
Speaker 1: it is it's like the grass always does look greener
Speaker 1: on the other side, yeah, but it honestly rarely is.
Speaker 1: So it's like, if you've made a certain decision take responsibility.
Speaker 1: You can always change it down the track, but it's
Speaker 1: like sit in it and be like, Okay, where can
Speaker 1: I actually take responsibility and have awareness for how privileged
Speaker 1: I actually am in this responsibility. And that's what even
Speaker 1: if you're currently have a side hustle and you work
Speaker 1: full time, you have a side hustle, you want to
Speaker 1: make the side hustle your full time thing. If you
Speaker 1: do not have gratitude for your full time thing, it
Speaker 1: is going to be so hard to make that, you know,
Speaker 1: side hustle full time because you're not in the appreciation,
Speaker 1: You're not in the high vibration of gratitude, it's going
Speaker 1: to be hard to shift that, and so again it's like,
Speaker 1: can you actually have so much gratitude for where you're
Speaker 1: currently are and illuminate where am I actually gaining from
Speaker 1: staying in this place if you are feeling like a victim.
Speaker 3: And Guys, once you shift into gratitude, it's literally a
Speaker 3: life changing as someone who's recently done that, because it
Speaker 3: was hard and like, I've had a lot of tests
Speaker 3: this year and money tests, and I was just like,
Speaker 3: oh my god, poor me, poor me, poor me? Why me?
Speaker 3: Why me? Why me? And I was like at some
Speaker 3: point you just got to like accept it and be like, well,
Speaker 3: this is the situation. What am I going to do
Speaker 3: about it? What choices am I going to make? And
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be grateful for it because I'm gonna be
Speaker 3: grateful for the fact that present me is looking after
Speaker 3: future me by making these decisions and sacrifices because it's
Speaker 3: not always all roses. But you can enjoy every single moment,
Speaker 3: Like you can get up every day and go, oh
Speaker 3: my god, how amazing and how grateful am I to
Speaker 3: have a fun job to go to or if you
Speaker 3: don't love your job, like I'm so grateful I have
Speaker 3: a job to go to and I get paid every
Speaker 3: week or every month without a doubt that money comes
Speaker 3: into my account, Like already that like what have you
Speaker 3: normalized already that you're taking for granted. Because some people
Speaker 3: they work casually and they haven't been able to get
Speaker 3: a full time job and they don't have a guaranteed
Speaker 3: paycheck coming in.
Speaker 1: There is always a mindset shift for anyone that's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you should be so grateful if you have a full
Speaker 1: time job at the moment, because there's so much going
Speaker 1: on in the economy where people are losing their jobs,
Speaker 1: you know. And then maybe if you did lose your job,
Speaker 1: is this the best thing that happened to you, because
Speaker 1: now maybe you get job that you've really wanted, or
Speaker 1: that is going to be the job where you're like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, thank god that happened, so I got
Speaker 1: this job. You know. Like there's always a mindset shift
Speaker 1: that is always a higher vibe available to you.
Speaker 2: It's just if you're willing.
Speaker 1: To take it and take responsibility.
Speaker 3: And if you are in that high vibe, you'll be
Speaker 3: surprised at what comes your way.
Speaker 1: It's going to be better than you could have imagined.
Speaker 1: As we like to say, yes it's our favorite. Well
Speaker 1: you know that started tough love, but I feel like
Speaker 1: it ended on a really great note.
Speaker 2: Me too, we did.
