Speaker 1: I think you need to take pressure off yourself because
Speaker 1: I feel a lot of pressure. It kind of feels
Speaker 1: very manic that you're like, I need to find something,
Speaker 1: and I think it's about realizing that you maybe need
Speaker 1: to create space for that thing to come. Welcome back
Speaker 1: to the Rise and Conquer Podcast. I'm your host Georgie Stevenson,
Speaker 1: former lawyer turned entrepreneur, social media personality and personal development junkie.
Speaker 1: This podcast is for my girl gang who want to
Speaker 1: feed their mind with positive and expansive thoughts to help
Speaker 1: them step into their power and live their most authentic life.
Speaker 1: We chat a variety of topics including mindset, business, relationships, health,
Speaker 1: and so much much more. Basically, wherever you are on
Speaker 1: your journey, I want to help you feel inspired and
Speaker 1: empowered to rise up and conquer your next bold move.
Speaker 1: I know that's going to look different for everyone, but
Speaker 1: just no, I'm right here by your side and that
Speaker 1: you have the rn C community behind you.
Speaker 2: Let's do this.
Speaker 1: Hello and welcome back to the Rise and Conquered Podcast.
Speaker 1: I'm your host Georgie Stevenson, and today I have another
Speaker 1: advice with g segments. So we started last solo episode.
Speaker 1: So yeah, last week, and I had so many questions
Speaker 1: in my inbox, so we're doing another week of advice
Speaker 1: with g I've got some good questions today. I feel
Speaker 1: like a lot of people would be in the same boat.
Speaker 1: So we've got questions about, you know, if you're not
Speaker 1: super passionate about your current job and you don't know
Speaker 1: what to do, and tips on how to go from there.
Speaker 1: I also chat to another girl about struggles with trust
Speaker 1: issues in a relationship because she has been cheated on before,
Speaker 1: and I talk about my experience with trust issues and
Speaker 1: previous cheating and how I feel about that. We also
Speaker 1: chat about signs from the universe and how to know
Speaker 1: if they're like correct or not, and also getting into
Speaker 1: a routine and my tips for that. So before we
Speaker 1: get into our little advice segment, I do want to
Speaker 1: obviously preface this and just say, you know, I am
Speaker 1: a qualified life coach and health coach, but I'm not
Speaker 1: a qualified you know, mental health practitioner, a medical doctor,
Speaker 1: anything like that. So this is general advice. This is
Speaker 1: not specific advice, and this is very much my own opinions,
Speaker 1: So you guys know, this is what this podcast is.
Speaker 1: So if you are looking for very you know, specific
Speaker 1: advice or if any of these topics.
Speaker 2: You know, super triggering and stuff is happening.
Speaker 1: I always always advocate for seeking professional mental health help.
Speaker 1: I personally see a psychologist. But yeah, I just thought
Speaker 1: it was a bit of a fun segment if you
Speaker 1: are wanting, I guess another perspective on your situation. So
Speaker 1: let's get straight into it. So the first question, and
Speaker 1: I am going to sum these up just because I
Speaker 1: get some long emails. I love that though it gives
Speaker 1: me more context. So the first person I'm chatting with
Speaker 1: is Kate, the Lovely. Kate said that she loves the
Speaker 1: podcast and she loves the solo PEP talks and has
Speaker 1: gotten so much more self confidence and positive energy since listening.
Speaker 1: So appreciate that, Kate, and sending so much love back.
Speaker 1: So Kate is asking advice about her job. She explains that,
Speaker 1: you know, in high school, she did legal studies.
Speaker 2: She thought it would be cool to do law.
Speaker 1: She then did her degree and she almost just like
Speaker 1: fell into her job, and she's like, you know, I
Speaker 1: thought I'd just do it for a little bit and
Speaker 1: see how I felt. But now I'm six years down
Speaker 1: the track as a lawyer and she's starting to really
Speaker 1: think of, you know, this job isn't necessarily my passion.
Speaker 1: I feel like I could do more and be more,
Speaker 1: but she just doesn't know where to start. So she
Speaker 1: says that she's from the discussions about the six week
Speaker 1: project that she sees people already know their passion, but
Speaker 1: they're just scared of taking a leap of faith. And
Speaker 1: she's kind of the opposite where she's ready to take
Speaker 1: the leap of faith, like she's gearing, she's ready to go,
Speaker 1: but she just doesn't know what is next. She knows
Speaker 1: that she wants to be flexible with her schedule and
Speaker 1: do some creative but that is about it. She's like,
Speaker 1: I love travel, food, learning new things, reading, listening to podcasts,
Speaker 1: except but she doesn't really see those as career options.
Speaker 1: So she goes, do you have any next steps to me?
Speaker 1: What would you do in regards to looking for a
Speaker 1: clear path moving forward, particular in relation to job slash career.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 1: Okay, so first of all, Kate with the project, that's
Speaker 1: not actually true. So so many people in the project
Speaker 1: actually do it because they're not clear. And I was
Speaker 1: looking at this question going, oh my god, Kate would
Speaker 1: thrive in the project because in the first couple of
Speaker 1: weeks that's literally like Module one is called get Clear.
Speaker 1: So that's actually what I do in my six week
Speaker 1: self development course, is I really help you get clear.
Speaker 1: So honestly, I think like our next enrollment won't be
Speaker 1: till mid year, so it's probably not the greatest, but
Speaker 1: oh my god, you would love the project because obviously
Speaker 1: I'm going to get into it so much deeper over there.
Speaker 1: But just kind of brisk on things with the whole saying,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm interested in adventures, travel, food, learning new things,
Speaker 1: but you don't think that can be your career, Like
Speaker 1: that is a limiting belief because you know, just look
Speaker 1: at me. I literally started doing health and fitness, doing recipes,
Speaker 1: all these various things, and now I have a podcast
Speaker 1: and a natural supplement company. And it's not like at
Speaker 1: the start, I was like that's what I wanted to do.
Speaker 1: It was these you know, hobbies and side hustles and
Speaker 1: passions that led to that. So honestly, Kate, the first
Speaker 1: thing that comes up for me, and all these advice
Speaker 1: of G segments are very like intuitive, I'm not really
Speaker 1: thinking about it. I'm just kind of saying whatever comes
Speaker 1: to me.
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's good or not, but are
Speaker 2: we gonna do it?
Speaker 1: What comes to me is I think you need to
Speaker 1: take pressure off yourself because I feel a lot of pressure.
Speaker 1: It kind of feels very manic that you're like, I
Speaker 1: need to find something, and I think it's about realizing
Speaker 1: that you maybe need to create space for that thing
Speaker 1: to come. So, for example, going back to my experience,
Speaker 1: I didn't have what I needed to do. I quit
Speaker 1: my corporate job first to give me the space to
Speaker 1: then explore what I wanted to do. So I know
Speaker 1: that's not you know, necessarily everyone has.
Speaker 2: That sort of privilege.
Speaker 1: Because my side hustles of my social media's were earning
Speaker 1: me enough money that I could, you know, quit and
Speaker 1: still pay my mortgage and live my life. So a
Speaker 1: couple of things come up for me. It's like, you know,
Speaker 1: do you quit your job and just kind of get
Speaker 1: like an in between jobs so you have more space
Speaker 1: to figure this out, or do you keep doing your
Speaker 1: job plus start getting some passions on the side, So
Speaker 1: you guys know, I, you know, throughout my whole law
Speaker 1: degree and when I worked at a law firm, I
Speaker 1: was doing my side hustle, social media, fitness and health
Speaker 1: on the side. Yes, it was crazy and I didn't
Speaker 1: have a lot of time for myself, but I feel
Speaker 1: like when you have a passion, like you make it work.
Speaker 1: So it was literally like I would wake up at
Speaker 1: four thirty, I'd do gym, you know, to get that
Speaker 1: in there.
Speaker 2: In my lunch breaks, I would be.
Speaker 1: You know, editing YouTube videos and stuff like that, and
Speaker 1: then I would get home and do a lot after
Speaker 1: work too. So it wasn't the best life for a
Speaker 1: couple of years, but at one hundred percent what catapulted
Speaker 1: me to being able to leave my job comfortably. So
Speaker 1: I do recommend like exploring these hobbies and passions on
Speaker 1: the side while you have your secure job, Like I
Speaker 1: think that's so fine to do that and don't. And
Speaker 1: that's also another thing I wanted to chat on is
Speaker 1: I want you to really think about if it's important
Speaker 1: that your job is your passion because I think, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe you're hearing a lot of podcasts, you're seeing a
Speaker 1: lot of stuff on social media where these people you
Speaker 1: know are doing their job and that's their passion, which
Speaker 1: includes me. But I always say the example of my
Speaker 1: husband Tim, who he you know, absolutely loves golf, and
Speaker 1: golf's all weekend and sometimes during the week and for him,
Speaker 1: it's like he is so happy to work his job.
Speaker 1: He obviously works in Naked Harvest, but he's so happy
Speaker 1: to you know, do his job and then do his
Speaker 1: hobby on you know, the weekends. And I remember even
Speaker 1: saying to him at one point, like, would you want
Speaker 1: to quit Naked Harvest and you know, be a golf
Speaker 1: teacher or something like that, and he was like, no way,
Speaker 1: Like golf is my passion and I think it wouldn't
Speaker 1: be as fun if it was my job. So he
Speaker 1: actually likes keeping them separate. And so I think sometimes
Speaker 1: we just get a bit overwhelmed with everyone on social
Speaker 1: media like doing their passions, but it's like do you
Speaker 1: actually want that? And that's something to get clear on.
Speaker 1: So another huge thing here, and this is obviously what
Speaker 1: I teach in my Rise and Conker project, is when
Speaker 1: we are tapped into our intuition, into you know, when
Speaker 1: we're feeling aligned and we really know ourselves. And this,
Speaker 1: you know, for me, I know I'm tapped into my
Speaker 1: intuition and in alignment when I feel in flow when
Speaker 1: I'm working when you know, I'm doing my practices of
Speaker 1: meditation and journaling and I really, like, I feel so
Speaker 1: confident in who.
Speaker 2: I am and what I'm doing.
Speaker 1: That does take time, But honestly, when I was reading
Speaker 1: this question, I was like, this is what Kate needs
Speaker 1: to do. Like Kate, you need to tap into your intuition.
Speaker 1: You need to start exploring yourself, which you know, guys,
Speaker 1: I'm a huge self development junkie because I think what
Speaker 1: might happen if you're stuck on the next step. Like
Speaker 1: me personally, I'm never stuck on this next step. And
Speaker 1: that's because I'm so tapped into my intuition in alignment
Speaker 1: that I can, you know, sit there and meditate and
Speaker 1: might take a little bit, but the next step will
Speaker 1: always come to me because that is my core belief.
Speaker 1: I know that when I'm in alignment, when I'm you know,
Speaker 1: tapped into the most authentic Georgie, the next step is
Speaker 1: always there because the universe has my back, and that
Speaker 1: is you know, like, that is my belief and that
Speaker 1: is how my life goes. And I'm so certain on that,
Speaker 1: and so I would love to know if you ask
Speaker 1: someone who is you know, already tapped into your intuition
Speaker 1: and really kind of exploring yourself because I think a
Speaker 1: lot of clarity comes with that one last thing before
Speaker 1: I move on to the next question. Another little thing
Speaker 1: to add. And it is kind of hard for me
Speaker 1: because I don't have the whole story, Kate. But when I,
Speaker 1: you know, quit my corporate job, I didn't know what
Speaker 1: I wanted to do. So I talk about this kind
Speaker 1: of concept of it's kind of like there was fog.
Speaker 1: There was fog everywhere, and it's like I can't see
Speaker 1: the goal, but I could see two steps in front
Speaker 1: of me, and one of those steps was to quit
Speaker 1: my corporate job. And even though I couldn't see the
Speaker 1: end goal, I had to surrender and trust it just
Speaker 1: felt right for me. And so that's a huge, you know, intuitive,
Speaker 1: you know, sort of state, which I know not everyone
Speaker 1: is in, but for me, it's like when I'm in
Speaker 1: alignment and flow, I don't even have to see the
Speaker 1: end goal because I can just trust that everything is
Speaker 1: happening for me. Everything will fall into place and I've
Speaker 1: just got to take these next steps.
Speaker 2: I hope that.
Speaker 1: Makes sense, Kate. It's just what came out to me.
Speaker 1: All Right, guys, let's get on to the next question.
Speaker 1: So t Shak had a very similar question as Kate,
Speaker 1: kind of in regards to how do I find out
Speaker 1: what I'm passionate about and what goals I need to
Speaker 1: set and go from there, And then she also asked
Speaker 1: me if I have any So she's saying, I want
Speaker 1: to get into manifestation and into my limiting beliefs and blocks.
Speaker 1: What are the resources I can look into? T shirt,
Speaker 1: you literally have to do my six week project. This
Speaker 1: is what we this is what we do, guys.
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: It's so the project is currently running right now and
Speaker 1: we're in I think it's week four, and week four
Speaker 1: is such a special week because the hard yards are
Speaker 1: kind of done and everyone is having these amazing aha
Speaker 1: moments and like so much clarity, and oh my god.
Speaker 1: Our Facebook group everyone is like so supportive. They're like
Speaker 1: they're manifestations are starting to happen, and they're like, you know,
Speaker 1: really trusting their intuition and they feel in alignment and
Speaker 1: the energy and everything is just it is insane. And
Speaker 1: that's why I absolutely love when we do rounds THET
Speaker 1: because it is just the most insane container of people
Speaker 1: where we do that. But other than that. So kind
Speaker 1: of like with Kate, I'd be using your spare time
Speaker 1: to tap into your intuition, really getting to know yourself,
Speaker 1: you know, meditating, journaling, doing those things, other kind of
Speaker 1: books and whatnot. I feel like I do have a
Speaker 1: blog about this, but let me just think. So my
Speaker 1: favorite manifesting books I love Gabby Bernstein and her books.
Speaker 1: My absolute favorite book is kind of Yeah, I guess
Speaker 1: it's a little bit about that, but how to Be
Speaker 1: a badasst Making Money by Jensen Cerro And yeah, so
Speaker 1: I would just start with some personal development stuff, don't
Speaker 1: put too much pressure on yourself, and go from their
Speaker 1: t shir. This episode is brought to you by Naked
Speaker 1: Harvest Supplements, the natural supplement company I co founded with
Speaker 1: my brother.
Speaker 2: This company was.
Speaker 1: Really brought to life because I have been using supplements
Speaker 1: for such a long time since the start of my
Speaker 1: fitness journey. But what I really struggled to find was
Speaker 1: all natural supplements without the crap, that were tailored to
Speaker 1: women's health and that actually tasted good. And that's how

Speaker 1: let's get back into the episode, all right, next question Michelle. Oh, okay,
Speaker 1: So let me kind of give you a rundown of Michelle.
Speaker 1: So she explains, you know, she's thirty three. Her ex
Speaker 1: husband cheat on her and really degraded her self esteem.
Speaker 1: They were together for sixteen years, married for seven and
Speaker 1: she's left that relationship. She's got a new relationship that
Speaker 1: she's been in for a couple of months, and she's
Speaker 1: just explaining she's having a lot of a lot of
Speaker 1: issues with trusting him. And she kind of goes she
Speaker 1: kind of chats about like, you know, he's really amazing.
Speaker 1: He's so kind to the kids, he's so genuine and
Speaker 1: such a good man to me and the kids. But
Speaker 1: she's like, am I seeing him with rose colored glasses?
Speaker 1: Like could this actually be true? And so she's like,
Speaker 1: do I just you know, dive in and see what happens?
Speaker 2: Like what do I do?
Speaker 1: And first of all, like Michelle, I just want to say,
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry that happened to you.
Speaker 2: That is like one of the most shittiest.
Speaker 1: Things I had, you know, a high school relationship where
Speaker 1: my partner cheated on me quite.
Speaker 2: A few times.
Speaker 1: And you know, that was a high school relationship, Like
Speaker 1: I remember, not really not caring too much, but you know,
Speaker 1: a high school relationship, nothing too crazy, and I remember
Speaker 1: just how distraught and hurt and how much that mess
Speaker 1: with me. So yeah, I couldn't imagine what you're going through.
Speaker 1: And I just wanted to say, I'm saying you so
Speaker 1: much love. The first thing that comes to mind is
Speaker 1: you really need to work on yourself and your worthiness,
Speaker 1: because I can even see from this question you said
Speaker 1: it yourself, like you know your partner, your previous partner,
Speaker 1: really degraded your self esteem. And what I get from
Speaker 1: this question is you saying, you know, this man is
Speaker 1: so amazing and genuine and he's so nice to me.
Speaker 1: Can that actually be true? And it's like, yes, Michelle,
Speaker 1: you deserve a man who treats you right, who's nice
Speaker 1: to your children, who's like you know.
Speaker 2: That is like that's your minimum.
Speaker 1: It's not outrageous to think, you know this, This is
Speaker 1: like such a huge thing. And I get it because
Speaker 1: of the past thing, because even I remember with Tim
Speaker 1: when because I dated Tim shortly after my high school boyfriend, Like,
Speaker 1: Tim has never given me any reasons, you know, to
Speaker 1: think anything that he would have cheated or anything like that.
Speaker 1: But I remember just having these feelings because it's like
Speaker 1: I just cannot let someone treat me like that again.
Speaker 1: So I totally understand in regards to having your wall
Speaker 1: up and just being like, you know, that can't happen again.
Speaker 1: So again, you know, I'm not a professional, Like, definitely,
Speaker 1: if you're really suffering with this, I really recommend seeing
Speaker 1: a psychologist talking to someone about this. You know, I
Speaker 1: see a psychologist weekly and it's amazing and just to
Speaker 1: have someone else's opinion is huge, and I think they
Speaker 1: could really help you with this. My personal opinion on
Speaker 1: this is like, yeah, you need to really well work
Speaker 1: on your self esteem and your self worth because if
Speaker 1: you don't, I feel like you might like consistently see
Speaker 1: problems in the relationship. Because also if you think about
Speaker 1: it from his perspective, if you're there constantly not trusting him,
Speaker 1: constantly feeling insecure, it's going to be a lot for
Speaker 1: him where he's.
Speaker 2: Like, you know, like I've never done anything, you.
Speaker 1: Know, to say otherwise and whatnot. So I think you
Speaker 1: really need to work on yourself and self worth. And
Speaker 1: what comes up for me too is in my previous
Speaker 1: episode that got released this week with Connor Kathleen, she
Speaker 1: really spoke about this concept. So she's quite young, she's
Speaker 1: only twenty one, but I thought it was so beautiful.
Speaker 1: So she kind of explained that she's not interested in
Speaker 1: dating right now because she really wants to be her
Speaker 1: own best friend and she really wants to be okay
Speaker 1: with being by herself, loving herself first. And I loved
Speaker 1: it because she spoke about this concept of she's like,
Speaker 1: I don't even fuck around with dating because you know,
Speaker 1: like kind of she was saying, guys her age are
Speaker 1: just like, you know, a bit young and immature. And
Speaker 1: she's like, if I, like go on a date with
Speaker 1: someone and I just you know, straightaway, don't get those
Speaker 1: amazing vibes and whatnot, She's like, I'm not wasting my time.
Speaker 1: And she was very much like you could tell like
Speaker 1: she knew her worth, she knew what she brought to
Speaker 1: the table, and she was like, you know, I'm a
Speaker 1: fucking I'm a goddess. I am who I am. And
Speaker 1: if someone doesn't you know, kind of match that and
Speaker 1: come up to the table with a lot to offer.
Speaker 1: Then she's just not going to bother. And I just
Speaker 1: thought the self worth and yeah, the self worth on her.
Speaker 1: I was just like, yes, I think every you know,
Speaker 1: young woman sometimes feels like we have to be in
Speaker 1: a relationship to feel complete. And I just really loved
Speaker 1: how she spoke about it. So Michelle definitely recommend listening
Speaker 1: to that. And she spoke about she's like, yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: my own best friend. So that's another thing too, is
Speaker 1: I think it would be really good for you to
Speaker 1: work on being your own best friend, working on yourself.
Speaker 1: So if something was to happen to this relationship, it's
Speaker 1: like you've got yourself, you've got your kids, you've got yourself.
Speaker 1: So my overall advice, because I've been bloody ranting as
Speaker 1: per usual, is like, I think you need to come
Speaker 1: to this relationship with a clean slate and not bring
Speaker 1: the past with you. If you're having trouble with that,
Speaker 1: I suggest you know, getting professional help, seeing a psychologist,
Speaker 1: talking to a counselor, because you owe it to you know,
Speaker 1: this relationship, to show up in your best self. And
Speaker 1: when we're carrying baggage from previous staff. We almost can't,
Speaker 1: and especially you kind of explain that you know, he
Speaker 1: hasn't given you too much to think that there's any issues.
Speaker 1: So I think you really need to, you know, show
Speaker 1: up as you your best self, deal with the past trauma,
Speaker 1: and like I said, like really work on yourself. And
Speaker 1: it's like put yourself first, put your kids first, go
Speaker 1: fully in. But no, if it doesn't work out, that
Speaker 1: you did go fully in, like your side of the
Speaker 1: street was clean. And if it doesn't work out, You've
Speaker 1: got yourself. You're your own best friend. You're so okay,
Speaker 1: all right, So quick one from Lah I hope I'm
Speaker 1: pronouncing that right, La. So she said, what sort of
Speaker 1: music do you listen to to get into a higher vibe?
Speaker 1: I'm really struggling to find something that boosts my moods
Speaker 1: and brings me the best version of her Okay. So
Speaker 1: I love this question because recently I've just realized how
Speaker 1: much music really, just like changes my mood. So I
Speaker 1: use music most parts of the day. So I have
Speaker 1: a playlist that I have on while I'm working that
Speaker 1: you know, helps me be productive. It's kind of like
Speaker 1: background chill music. I have like a pump up music
Speaker 1: that playlist. Sorry, that is like when I'm about to
Speaker 1: work out and it's like old schooled R and B.
Speaker 1: And then I also have like like kind of when
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know, pulling tarot cards, journaling self development.
Speaker 1: I also have a list too, So I am gonna
Speaker 1: make you guys.
Speaker 2: A playlist and put it in the show notes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll do that, and I'll just call it like
Speaker 1: high vibe or something and just put in my favorite song.
Speaker 1: So feel free to listen to that. I was so
Speaker 1: fine when you just find some new music and you
Speaker 1: really get into it helps. So yes, I will do
Speaker 1: that in the show notes for you. L lah okay
Speaker 1: last no second last question Alice. So Alice said she
Speaker 1: spoke about the concept of a couple of episodes ago.
Speaker 1: I spoke about, you know, signs from the universe and
Speaker 1: how to trust that they're actually correct. So she has
Speaker 1: a backstory where her and X broke up in novemb
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. They stopped talking at the end of December.
Speaker 1: She didn't really want to break up and really hoped
Speaker 1: they'd get back together. So she found she's in a bit
Speaker 1: of a funk in January came across the podcast. She
Speaker 1: put in graphic graph of brackets. Wow, life changing, And
Speaker 1: after listening to some episode, you know, she started journaling
Speaker 1: and meditating, and so she went she asked for like
Speaker 1: a sign if she should get back with her ex,
Speaker 1: and she was kind of thinking of this song, and
Speaker 1: then this song kept playing and she heard it a
Speaker 1: couple of times. So she's like, so, my question is
Speaker 1: whether this is a sign. My intuition feels like it's
Speaker 1: a sign, but then my logical brain says it could
Speaker 1: be trying to find signs because I want to be
Speaker 1: with my ex.
Speaker 2: And yeah, she just.
Speaker 1: Asked my advice, So Alice one hundred and ten percent. So,
Speaker 1: first of all, with asking signs from the universe, this
Speaker 1: is something I said in the podcast, but and I
Speaker 1: guess I've kind of said this the whole thing. You
Speaker 1: do kind of need to be spiritual person and quite
Speaker 1: tapped in because otherwise it can be confusing and you
Speaker 1: will wonder if it's just a coincidence. So for me personally,
Speaker 1: when I ask for a sign and then I see it,
Speaker 1: I know it's a sure thing because of how much
Speaker 1: I trust my intuition. Even from your question, here about
Speaker 1: your like, oh, my intuition's saying it's a sign, but
Speaker 1: logically I'm like, oh, is.
Speaker 2: It just random?
Speaker 1: So it is a bit tricky, tricky when you're asking
Speaker 1: for signs when you're not fully kind of tapped into
Speaker 1: that inner self. What I say also with signs, like
Speaker 1: it's honestly more about how you feel when you get
Speaker 1: the signs. So everything in your thing was kind of
Speaker 1: leaning towards, you know, getting back with your ex or
Speaker 1: thinking about your ex.
Speaker 2: I personally would absolutely.
Speaker 1: Love to know why you broke up and you know,
Speaker 1: if he or she is a bit of a dick
Speaker 1: or not, because I think, you know, that could be
Speaker 1: there could be more to the story here. And it's
Speaker 1: kind of like, was it just because that relationship was
Speaker 1: super comfortable and you're currently out of your comfort zone
Speaker 1: so you're craving some comfort and this is something you
Speaker 1: know with relationships. It's almost like, yeah, you go through
Speaker 1: this like back, Like I remember, obviously years and years ago,
Speaker 1: I was seventeen, so I feel like I don't have
Speaker 1: too much to add. But when I was seventeen and
Speaker 1: my boyfriend broke up with me, it took me months
Speaker 1: to just even get around the fact that he had
Speaker 1: broken up with me and I, you know, like it
Speaker 1: had happened like and then now looking back, it was
Speaker 1: the best thing ever. But I remember wanting to get
Speaker 1: back with him so bad. But it's like it was
Speaker 1: only because I was in that relationship with him for
Speaker 1: like three years and it's all I kind of knew,
Speaker 1: and it felt very comfortable and even you know, not
Speaker 1: even relationships, but you know, self development, Like with self development,
Speaker 1: before the shit gets good, it's uncomfortable as fuck and
Speaker 1: you want to stop. You don't want to keep going.
Speaker 1: So it's like, are you currently just uncomfortable because you're alone,
Speaker 1: you're having to do new things and whatnot, or do
Speaker 1: you actually you know, want to see if the ex
Speaker 1: is going to work out, because if you know he
Speaker 1: broke up with you, you didn't want it to happen.
Speaker 1: I'd be interested to know more of the story. But
Speaker 1: it's kind of like, yeah, you need to decide. And
Speaker 1: also like if you are getting those feelings, like why
Speaker 1: don't you reach out to him see what happens, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, and you might you know, get more of
Speaker 1: a feel of this situation. So I know that's not
Speaker 1: really a clear answer, But I do hope that helps
Speaker 1: Alice and the last question or.
Speaker 2: We've definitely gone over time, but that's all right, So
Speaker 2: I love this question.
Speaker 1: So Josie basically explained that she you know, she's from England.
Speaker 1: They've been in their third lockdown and it really helps
Speaker 1: to have some routine in her day. However, she's a
Speaker 1: workaholic and she's been prioritized getting work done before, you know,
Speaker 1: reading workouts and what not, and she really can't settle
Speaker 1: into a routine around her studies. What would my advice be? Okay, guys,
Speaker 1: So with routine. Honestly, for me, routine is a mixture
Speaker 1: of discipline and then also enjoyment, Like I feel like
Speaker 1: you really need both. So like because you can't rely
Speaker 1: on motivation with routine because there's always going to always
Speaker 1: going to have days. So a huge part of my
Speaker 1: routine is discipline, and after you've done something enough for
Speaker 1: a certain amount of time, you just you know, that's
Speaker 1: what routine is called, that's how it happens. So you've
Speaker 1: got to have that part of discipline where you just
Speaker 1: get it done and you make it routine. In saying
Speaker 1: that my routines have to bring me joy, otherwise I
Speaker 1: won't continue to do them. So I have this big
Speaker 1: thing of, yeah, if you know, if I'm going to
Speaker 1: work out, I've got to enjoy it. If I'm going
Speaker 1: to you know, meditate, it's got to be with my
Speaker 1: favorite music, with you know, my scented candles or sage,
Speaker 1: and you know, I've got to make it enjoyable. So
Speaker 1: I would say, Josie, like, think of how you can
Speaker 1: set routines.
Speaker 2: But make it enjoyable.
Speaker 1: And like, I know it's like so simple to say,
Speaker 1: but like routine, you really need to be disciplined at
Speaker 1: the start, Like you need to decide this is what
Speaker 1: I'm doing. I need this because and have a really
Speaker 1: good why, a really strong why, and then you literally
Speaker 1: just need to be disciplined, like I don't know if
Speaker 1: it's time blocking or setting alarms and what not. So
Speaker 1: that's kind of my first thing, and this is like
Speaker 1: an example of this. Actually is recently added a new
Speaker 1: kind of workout schedule where I've joined a pilates studio
Speaker 1: and I personally have never been a pilarates fan, but
Speaker 1: in the Naked Harvest retreat we did last week, we
Speaker 1: went to a studio called Hustle in Byron Bay, and
Speaker 1: oh my god, it was so much fun.
Speaker 2: It was high vibe.
Speaker 1: All the girls had an amazing time, and I was like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, if I had this sort of like,
Speaker 1: you know, fun plus you know, it was a burner.
Speaker 2: I was sweaty.
Speaker 1: If I had this sort of workout, like, I'd actually
Speaker 1: want to go to gym more because I've really been
Speaker 1: lacking motivation with GIN right now and I kind of
Speaker 1: just do random workouts at random times and it's fine,
Speaker 1: but I want something more, Yeah, something that I enjoy more.
Speaker 1: So I've actually started going to that same studio in
Speaker 1: local location to me, and oh my god, I've been
Speaker 1: every single morning at five thirty, which is like I
Speaker 1: never wake up at five. I always wake up at six.
Speaker 1: But it's because I enjoy it so much. So huge
Speaker 1: thing for me with routine is making sure there's joy
Speaker 1: in there, because otherwise, what is the point in saying that?
Speaker 1: To Another thing that came up for me Josie is
Speaker 1: realizing that I think you also need to be super
Speaker 1: kind for yourself, Realizing that you don't have to be
Speaker 1: busy all the time. You don't have to you know,
Speaker 1: have this routine like yeah, like you said you've been
Speaker 1: in three lockdowns, like it's a weird time for everyone,
Speaker 1: and I think we all don't need the added pressure
Speaker 1: of being like I need routine in my life because
Speaker 1: things aren't normal. Things aren't routine. So also make sure
Speaker 1: you're giving yourself grace and being like, not hard on
Speaker 1: yourself and not putting those feelings of guilt. And I
Speaker 1: should be doing that because they're low. They're low vibes,
Speaker 1: and we don't want any of that. We want high vibes.
Speaker 1: So when we're giving ourself grace and going, look, I'm
Speaker 1: doing the best I can with what I have right now,
Speaker 1: it's okay. That is like, yeah, that's where the magic happens.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I would just also, you know, try various things,
Speaker 1: see what brings you joy, see what doesn't, and then
Speaker 1: once you find that, use the discipline to make it
Speaker 1: a routine. All right, guys, that is it. I hope
