Speaker 1: wanted to give you guys, because as you know, I've
Speaker 1: gone through a huge life transition with Ivy Girl. I'm
Speaker 1: a new mum and it's the middle of the year
Speaker 1: and i just feel like we've all lost a bit
Speaker 1: of motivation, you know, a bit of our spark, and
Speaker 1: so I just wanted to give you, guys something tangible
Speaker 1: that you can do that hopefully reignites your spark and
Speaker 1: makes you feel a bit bloody spash because you are.
Speaker 2: Okay, guys.
Speaker 1: So before we get into the episode today, we are
Speaker 1: talking about romanticizing your life. It's a bit of a
Speaker 1: fun one and we get into, you know, this whole
Speaker 1: concept of that girl. I'm sure you've seen that girl
Speaker 1: content on TikTok and Instagram. It's everywhere, and I'm going
Speaker 1: to tell you how to romanticize your life and you'll
Speaker 1: hear from my team from a tea. It's super fun.
Speaker 1: But before we get into that, a little life update.
Speaker 1: My week has been good. If you guys follow me
Speaker 1: along on Instagram, you would know that Ivy girl is.
Speaker 1: Oh see, I feel so bad complaining because Ivy has
Speaker 1: been sleeping through the night twelve hours seven till like
Speaker 1: seven pm till seven am since she was twelve weeks old.
Speaker 1: And I know that is a true blessing, So like,
Speaker 1: I don't like to complain too much, but recently, like
Speaker 1: probably the last three weeks, she's been doing this thing
Speaker 1: where she'll go to bed and then she'll wake up
Speaker 1: after one sleep cycle, so forty five minutes, and then
Speaker 1: it just takes her hours to get back to bed.
Speaker 1: So she's kind of going to bed at like nine pm,
Speaker 1: which I know it's not late. I don't mean to complain,
Speaker 1: but it's just it's it's a lot. When I work
Speaker 1: all day and then I get home around two thirty three,
Speaker 1: Tim goes to Jim, you know, he needs a break
Speaker 1: after looking after Ivy all day. So I'm with Ivy
Speaker 1: all afternoon, which I love, adore.
Speaker 2: It's our time.
Speaker 1: I do the bed bath, you know, the last feed,
Speaker 1: put her to bed, kisses, cuddles, love. But it's like
Speaker 1: then we me and Tim would have dinner, we would
Speaker 1: have some time together, and then i'd have like an
Speaker 1: hour or two, like you know, literally just an hour
Speaker 1: of the day for me. For the last three weeks,
Speaker 1: we haven't been getting that. Me and Tim don't get
Speaker 1: to have dinner together because it's like one person's going
Speaker 1: up and comforting her, the other person's eating vice versa.
Speaker 1: And you finally get to bed at nine pm and
Speaker 1: you've just had like no time for yourself, which I
Speaker 1: know what that's parenthood.
Speaker 2: I get it.
Speaker 1: I get it. It's just exhausting. And I think because
Speaker 1: we were so used to her sleeping the twelve hours,
Speaker 1: I'm just like a little bit in shock. So that's
Speaker 1: still happening, and I'm a bit drained, but still, you know,
Speaker 1: it's still fine. My parents actually came over last night
Speaker 1: and they looked after Ivy. They're actually my parents live
Speaker 1: on a boat, if you guys don't know, and they
Speaker 1: teas looking at me like they do. Yeah, they do
Speaker 1: a teer. So they live in a boat and they
Speaker 1: sail for half the year, so they're actually about to
Speaker 1: go off sailing for the year. So they just wanted
Speaker 1: to spend some time with Ivy. So they looked after
Speaker 1: Ivy last night and meantim went on a date night.
Speaker 1: We went to Etsu, my favorite Japanese restaurant on the
Speaker 1: Gold Coast. It's so fab I love raw food, so
Speaker 1: I love like wagou and kingfish and oysters and they
Speaker 1: do all that stuff and so that was yummy. I
Speaker 1: did have a glass of sham okay, I had two
Speaker 1: glasses of champagne. Champagne is like you'll hear in this episode.
Speaker 1: I love like champagne. Sparkling water, like it's it's my vibe.
Speaker 1: And honestly, I woke up this morning with like not
Speaker 1: a hangover, but like I've got a headache, and I
Speaker 1: texted to your I'm like, do you have any Baroka?
Speaker 1: And it's just kind of sad to me that I'm
Speaker 1: to the point of my life where I have two
Speaker 1: glasses of champagne and I wake up with a headache.
Speaker 1: But that's fine, and also I'm kind of I'm not
Speaker 1: mad at myself. But before having that champagne, I hadn't
Speaker 1: drunk in a couple months, and I was almost doing
Speaker 1: like the sober curious thing. But I was like, you know,
Speaker 1: I love champagne. I'll have a glass and look, it's
Speaker 1: just it wasn't worth it. So I don't know what's happened, guys,
Speaker 1: because before Ivy, I could drink everyone under the table.
Speaker 1: It was like a talent. And I just can't drink
Speaker 1: like I used to do, so I have to accept that.
Speaker 1: So apologies if I'm a little bit rusty in this episode.
Speaker 1: But it's a goodie. So let's get into it. The
Speaker 1: romance of becoming. Let's romance the fuck out of our lives.
Speaker 1: End our mornings and our art. Let's say yes to
Speaker 1: the romance, but not the romance we were brought up
Speaker 1: to believe in the romance of ourselves, the romance of living,
Speaker 1: the romance of the way we move and the way
Speaker 1: we dress and the way we see ourselves, the romance
Speaker 1: of cafes and the romance of becoming, the romance of
Speaker 1: all the people we are yet to meet, and all
Speaker 1: the ways we are yet.
Speaker 2: To try on.
Speaker 1: Let's romance our lives, because when we romance ourselves, we
Speaker 1: fall for ourselves too, Brook Solace.
Speaker 2: Guys.
Speaker 1: Yes, today we are chatting romanticizing the fuck out of
Speaker 1: our lives. That was the most beautiful quote. I had
Speaker 1: to read it to you, guys, because we saw it
Speaker 1: on Instagram and we had already decided to do this
Speaker 1: podcast about romanticizing your life, and it just we were like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, this is perfect. Thank you Jamie for
Speaker 1: finding that one. So today, guys, let's chat romanticizing our lives. So,
Speaker 1: if you have social media.
Speaker 2: I'm guessing you do.
Speaker 1: If you listen to this podcast, especially like TikTok, or
Speaker 1: you enjoy watching reels on Instagram, you would notice the
Speaker 1: algorithm is really pushing these ten to thirty second videos
Speaker 1: of that girl. I actually have an episode on that girl,
Speaker 1: which I will link the show notes because it's all
Speaker 1: about how to be that girl and how to have
Speaker 1: magnetic energy, and it's a good it's one of our
Speaker 1: most downloaded episodes. But basically that content is really being
Speaker 1: pushed and honestly, like they're doing very mundane things, but
Speaker 1: it just looks fucking cool, Like it looks like they
Speaker 1: have their life together, like they're you know, a girl
Speaker 1: who and if you don't know what I'm talking about,
Speaker 1: So basically, she wakes up, she makes her coffee in
Speaker 1: this like really cute cup. You know, there's usually a
Speaker 1: bunch of flowers somewhere, She puts on cute activewear, meditates journals.
Speaker 1: You feel like she's got her life together and you
Speaker 1: feel like she's a bit fab and let's be honest,
Speaker 1: like you want to be her, Like if you haven't
Speaker 1: got your life together, you watch one of those and
Speaker 1: you're like, oh my god, I need to get my
Speaker 1: life together. And it just looks like she's, yeah, really
Speaker 1: loving life. She's honestly doing the most fundane things, but
Speaker 1: it just looks like she has a great life and
Speaker 1: then also the reals that I'm loving too, is like
Speaker 1: that you can do both where they're doing super you know,
Speaker 1: like hashtag health things like going a gym, having green
Speaker 1: juice coffee, and then they're also like eating pizza and
Speaker 1: having margueriteaters and dancing with their friends. Love those as well.
Speaker 1: And basically, and this is going to depend on like
Speaker 1: what sort of content you're consuming, but I literally love
Speaker 1: this content because it's all about celebrating like the small
Speaker 1: moments in your life and like romanticizing your life. And
Speaker 1: like I said, they're like super mundane things, but they
Speaker 1: just look really cool, and I think this is something
Speaker 1: we should all be doing to It's almost like.
Speaker 2: A life hack.
Speaker 1: It's a life hack to get more joy in our day,
Speaker 1: more joy in the way we do things. But then
Speaker 1: also something with that content is I guarantee you a
Speaker 1: lot of you know, the people creating that content behind
Speaker 1: the screens, like we don't know if they actually are
Speaker 1: romanticizing their life or they're just creating that sort of content.
Speaker 1: And so today I want to chat about romanticizing your
Speaker 1: life but doing it in a real way. So if
Speaker 1: you're a little bit confused about how like what romanticizing
Speaker 1: your life is. I'm going to give some examples of me,
Speaker 1: and I think for me, romanticizing your life is really
Speaker 1: about enjoying the process, not the end result. So I
Speaker 1: talk a lot about this thing of like how I
Speaker 1: love the work and how I love what I do,
Speaker 1: and I really got to a point in my life
Speaker 1: where I love the actual working for the goals, not
Speaker 1: actually the goal at the end. And I think a
Speaker 1: lot of people have it the other way, where they
Speaker 1: don't enjoy the becoming, they don't enjoy the process, but
Speaker 1: they're like, you know, they're waiting for the goal. And
Speaker 1: so I'm such a big believer in let's actually enjoy
Speaker 1: working for the goal and enjoy that stage and then
Speaker 1: obviously enjoy the goal at the end as well, because
Speaker 1: of course, but how what I'm talking about, like a
Speaker 1: great example of my life is you know, before Ivy,
Speaker 1: if you have me on Instagram, me and Tim used
Speaker 1: to always do this thing where we would do Sunday
Speaker 1: beach coffee. So every single Sunday we would wake up.
Speaker 1: We would never plan something on a Sunday morning because
Speaker 1: we knew it was our time together. It was a
Speaker 1: ritual and we used to wake up. We used to
Speaker 1: go to our favorite coffee shop, grab a coffee, go
Speaker 1: sit on the beach, and we would always talk about
Speaker 1: like big life issues. And even though I was such
Speaker 1: a busy person, I always knew like Sunday mornings were
Speaker 1: for us. And we had this Sunday ritual. And if
Speaker 1: you actually look about like look at it, like you know,
Speaker 1: having a coffee on the beach, Yes, beautiful, but it's
Speaker 1: just like a very normal thing. But because we created
Speaker 1: such this like beautiful ritual around it, it felt so
Speaker 1: special to us. And for instance, before Ivy, again, like
Speaker 1: I used to have this very slow morning routine most
Speaker 1: days where I would you know, get up and I
Speaker 1: would meditate and I would journal and I pull cards
Speaker 1: and it was like this whole big thing of getting
Speaker 1: into my day and it's like I would really relish
Speaker 1: in the small moments of that morning routine. Obviously I
Speaker 1: don't do that now because I have a baby. But
Speaker 1: like an example now of romanticizing my life is every
Speaker 1: single Thursday, instead of rushing to work, actually I'm still
Speaker 1: rushing to work, let's be honest. I go to my
Speaker 1: favorite coffee shop. I grab an ice latte, two pieces
Speaker 1: of Ava and Toe and every Thursday. I guys, I
Speaker 1: love the Shameless podcast. I live for some celebrity gossip.
Speaker 1: I know that's kind of random, because like it's almost
Speaker 1: on those days where I'm like, I just can't learn
Speaker 1: anything today, I just can't do self development. I need
Speaker 1: some like, yeah, I need some you know, celebrity gossip.
Speaker 1: And so a little tradition I now have because this
Speaker 1: is all I can kind of fit in is getting
Speaker 1: my coffee and AVO and putting on the Shameless podcast
Speaker 1: and driving to work again. You might like listen to
Speaker 1: that and just be like cool that that could be
Speaker 1: me every day. But I've really romanticized that where it
Speaker 1: means something to me and it feels really good to me,
Speaker 1: and it almost like elevates me and I have like
Speaker 1: you know, fitted into my schedule and it really brings
Speaker 1: me joy. So I would say, like romanticizing your life
Speaker 1: is just knowing what brings you joy, knowing what lights
Speaker 1: you are, fitting it in in small aspects of your day.
Speaker 1: A tear it like, would you what would you say
Speaker 1: romanticizing your life is to you?
Speaker 3: I'd say it's probably very similar just finding the small
Speaker 3: moment and making a bigger deal of them kind of thing. Yes,
Speaker 3: So it's it's not just getting a coffee with a friend.
Speaker 3: It's it's like getting a coffee, going for a walk,
Speaker 3: just enjoying the morning and being present. And I think
Speaker 3: it's it's less about doing these crazy special amazing having
Speaker 3: the longest morning routine, but just enjoying what you do
Speaker 3: have and appreciating it and just realizing how beautiful it
Speaker 3: actually is. And everyone can do that pretty easily. You
Speaker 3: just have to close your eyes and like think about
Speaker 3: it kind of thing.
Speaker 1: One hundred percent. I'm with you. Also, something else I
Speaker 1: love doing, and it's so simple is like I have
Speaker 1: this thing when it's raining because outside my house, even
Speaker 1: though we live on like this really busy straight and
Speaker 1: it fucking kills me. I put my AirPods in. I
Speaker 1: put like.
Speaker 2: It'd be like two cars an hour.
Speaker 1: What are you trying to say about me, a tia.
Speaker 1: You're trying to say I'm a princess or something.
Speaker 2: So rude.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about this after the podcast. Well, we all
Speaker 1: know how a tea feels about me.
Speaker 4: So you're just a very relaxed person. So you're probably
Speaker 4: just likes a car. It's busy. No, I am no,
Speaker 4: it's actually a maze and we like it's like fully busy.
Speaker 4: It's fully busy. And also there's a construction site near us,
Speaker 4: so it's like fucking big trucks and they're like.
Speaker 1: Screechy brains, so loud, so loud. Anyway, So I have
Speaker 1: this thing about raining, and so I love going outside
Speaker 1: and our back deck like looks at these trees over
Speaker 1: the road and then these beautiful big trees and like
Speaker 1: I just like looking at them in the rain with wind,
Speaker 1: and I'll put my AirPods in and I will like
Speaker 1: do that and just like have my journal and might
Speaker 1: write some stuff. But that's like the most simplest thing.
Speaker 1: But it's like I love it, like it just like
Speaker 1: you know, brings me so much joy, and it's yeah,
Speaker 1: and it's something so simple. And that's honestly something I've
Speaker 1: been doing since having Ivy, because priestly it would be
Speaker 1: like going to the beach or like doing something a
Speaker 1: bit more advance, but now I've had to simplify it.
Speaker 1: But again, it is so fine, and I like have
Speaker 1: I guess swapped my mindset too, fine, so much joy
Speaker 1: in that moment. I think that's what a tear was saying,
Speaker 1: like fine, joy in the smaller moments and when you
Speaker 1: can be happy and grateful in those smaller moments, like
Speaker 1: that's where the magic is. And also like another thing,
Speaker 1: like how I romanticize my life personally is you guys
Speaker 1: probably have seen on social media. Yeah, like the NHH
Speaker 1: warehouse has really been curated to be a place where
Speaker 1: I want to come to work. I hope, I hope
Speaker 1: my employees want to come to work, and we have
Speaker 1: created it, you know, like my office specifically, it's pink,
Speaker 1: it's got plants. It has been you know, curated a
Speaker 1: certain way to make me feel good. And honestly, when
Speaker 1: I sit in there, like I feel like a boss.
Speaker 1: Like it's created that way, and I feel like a
Speaker 1: huge thing is making sure like your space you're in
Speaker 1: feels good. So you know, I'm really big of like
Speaker 1: cleaning up your room, Like I honestly do it once
Speaker 1: a week, let's be honest, But like on a Sunday,
Speaker 1: I will kind of clean up the room. I will
Speaker 1: tie the tidy the house, reset it for the next
Speaker 1: week so I can have those feelings and not feel
Speaker 1: like I'm you know, having to clean up during the
Speaker 1: week because I just don't have the time. But it's
Speaker 1: a about creating the environment.
Speaker 3: And on that a thing I've noticed as well is
Speaker 3: that when you create the right environment, you will attract
Speaker 3: the right people.
Speaker 2: To your environment.
Speaker 3: So just the office as an example, it's beautiful, Like
Speaker 3: you come in here and you feel relaxed and refreshed,
Speaker 3: and I would guarantee that people are a lot more
Speaker 3: productive because of it. And if your space is clutted
Speaker 3: and it's messy, or it's chaotic and things just aren't
Speaker 3: as aesthetic, then it makes it harder to get those
Speaker 3: people that will work super, super hard. And it's so easy,
Speaker 3: and especially in an office, to like get the k
Speaker 3: Mar chair and the Ikea desk and just do the
Speaker 3: bare minimum so that people can function. And it's an
Speaker 3: office space, but you guys have gone above and beyond
Speaker 3: here and thanks to m yes, they got all the
Speaker 3: pretty things, but it makes such a big difference. And
Speaker 3: sometimes even though it's like a pretty thing, it makes
Speaker 3: a huge difference to what you output in that space.
Speaker 3: Like if you spend a little bit of extra money
Speaker 3: on your bedroom or doing up your office at home,
Speaker 3: you're probably going to feel a lot nicer working in it,
Speaker 3: and you're going to be more productive and you're going
Speaker 3: to enjoy your work more and appreciate those smaller moments.
Speaker 3: It's almost as if by spending the money or spending
Speaker 3: the time creating the correct environment, you're allowing yourself to
Speaker 3: be able to sort of have that aesthetic, beautiful, romantic
Speaker 3: feeling all the time in that environment. And if you
Speaker 3: don't place the priority on that, then your environment's just
Speaker 3: going to be normal and you're going to work normal.
Speaker 1: Well that's even a great example of when this episode
Speaker 1: goes out, guys, it's on the Tuesday, and on the
Speaker 1: Sunday was NH's third birthday. And if you go on
Speaker 1: my profile and go on a real you'll see like
Speaker 1: the very first office week and it's literally like a
Speaker 1: Bunning's table. The chair is like broken and it has
Speaker 1: like you know the express post sticky tape like literally.
Speaker 5: Like use that to like like like and that's because
Speaker 5: like go on that post, guys and have a look,
Speaker 5: and then you look at their office now and you're.
Speaker 1: Like, holy shit, and it's like they've come far far,
Speaker 1: but you know, like we had to do the bare minimum.
Speaker 1: But that's something I spoke to Cooper about when we
Speaker 1: moved into this new warehouse. I was like, look, I
Speaker 1: know it's gonna cost a bit of extra money, but
Speaker 1: trust me when I say, if I come into the
Speaker 1: office and I want to be here, I will create
Speaker 1: magic and I will you know, stay extra hours, and
Speaker 1: you know the people who work here who will do that.
Speaker 1: And it's not about making how employees stay extra but
Speaker 1: it's about creating an environment, like a tea says, where
Speaker 1: you feel productive and you feel creative. And I I
Speaker 1: think also like noting on that it doesn't have to
Speaker 1: be about spending their money because there's so many places
Speaker 1: now like Kmart has the most beautiful, pretty things. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, and I can't walk in there anymore. I know,
Speaker 1: I just spend so much money they get me good.
Speaker 1: And even like Amazon, and you know, for example, it
Speaker 1: could be so simple as like buying a cute glass
Speaker 1: from Amazon that you put your ice latte in. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, guys. So the other day story here. The
Speaker 1: other day, I treated myself and I bought myself a
Speaker 1: prider bag for Mother's Day.
Speaker 2: We Love, We Love.
Speaker 1: I'd been eyeing it off and I was like, well,
Speaker 1: actually the story was Tim is like I bought your
Speaker 1: Mother's Day present, and I was like, so cute. And
Speaker 1: then I came home one day and Peter Alexander had
Speaker 1: sent me a gifting parcel of like some pajamas and
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, big, because pajamas is
Speaker 1: like my thing, specially matching pajamas with Ivy and that's
Speaker 1: what they sent me for Mother's Day. And then like
Speaker 1: I looked at him and he's like I literally just
Speaker 1: went and books and it's like it took him like
Speaker 1: hours because he had to like drive to pack Fair.
Speaker 1: It's so cute, I know, and he was like so
Speaker 1: upset and he's like, I bought you the matching high mask.
Speaker 1: And so anyway, we decided Saturday we would go take
Speaker 1: the pajamas back and then I would pick something. Obviously,
Speaker 1: pa pajamas are not at the level as a parata bag.
Speaker 2: I don't know how we got there. Just the parallel. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Peter like Vanda and.
Speaker 1: Prada Bill love that for me, and you know, I
Speaker 1: treated myself. Anyway, they were doing this random. It's like
Speaker 1: so random for like a high end place to do this,
Speaker 1: but they were giving out a free gift of like
Speaker 1: a glass tumbler with a straw. I'll have to show
Speaker 1: you a tr I think they'll put it on Instagram. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll put it on Instagram. And so it was free
Speaker 1: and of course, like a Pride of bag is very expensive.
Speaker 1: But I put my coffee in it the other day
Speaker 1: and I was like, I'm because it has Prita on
Speaker 1: the front. I was like, I am, I'm like fucking
Speaker 1: devil wears Prata right now, Like I am, so I'm
Speaker 1: that girl. I am so posh like this is it
Speaker 1: was a vibe. It was a vibe and it was
Speaker 1: a free tumbler. But that's what I mean, like, even
Speaker 1: if it's something as small as a you know, a
Speaker 1: posh you know, I love the word posh. A posh
Speaker 1: you know, like glass and you put it next to
Speaker 1: your computer and you have a clean desk and you
Speaker 1: have a certain journal used to journal and you're not
Speaker 1: just like doing it off random bits of paper. Another
Speaker 1: thing that I love doing that I would say romanticizes
Speaker 1: my life is sparkling water. So a tear can't have anything.
Speaker 2: I literally cannot handle anything.
Speaker 1: Fussy guys said, she vomits if she has anything fizzy,
Speaker 1: which is like outrageous and we're gonna make you do
Speaker 1: this right challenge.
Speaker 2: One day, I.
Speaker 1: Will vomit on the offense of a quick I honestly
Speaker 1: don't believe you, so I need to see it. This
Speaker 1: is like harassment. But like sitting next to me is
Speaker 1: you know those how would you pronounce this otia.
Speaker 3: Pearl greeno s pearl GREENO?
Speaker 1: Okay, So I feel like we all know that sparkling water.
Speaker 1: It's like the one they use in the fashion shoots.
Speaker 1: Super fancy green, super fancy green bottle. But if I
Speaker 1: want to like create a vibe, especially at my desk
Speaker 1: or even a restaurant, and it's like I don't want
Speaker 1: to order a drink, I'll order sparkling water. And it's
Speaker 1: like it still makes me feel like a certain sort
Speaker 1: of way, you know what I.
Speaker 2: Use what you know, the cordial.
Speaker 3: Stop the break fits one that looks so fancy.
Speaker 2: Have you seen it?
Speaker 1: No? Okay, she's getting up. We honestly we need to
Speaker 1: have like you guys, being able to see what we're doing.
Speaker 1: Oh guys. We also we've started filming our episodes, So
Speaker 1: come to the Instagram Rising Conquered Dot podcasts to see
Speaker 1: some videos of us oh yes, I do. Mum used
Speaker 1: to buy that for us. Love love yeah, fancy body, yeah,
Speaker 1: and then you can just put it in a cute
Speaker 1: fancy glass.
Speaker 2: I love and like.
Speaker 1: Also something else I do is like you guys know,
Speaker 1: my like rid or dive beauty product is from Ecotan
Speaker 1: in its Glory Oil quick plug. My coat is GS twenty.
Speaker 1: If you want twenty percent off, that's just amou So
Speaker 1: I do work for them, but just give me the
Speaker 1: coat if you want it. And honestly, it is like
Speaker 1: the most luxury sort of feeling when I put that
Speaker 1: on my face, and I always I do it in
Speaker 1: a certain way, like I put it on and then
Speaker 1: like I push my cheeks back and it's like this
Speaker 1: whole experience. And something else I do too is like
Speaker 1: I moisturize my whole body. That doesn't happen all the
Speaker 1: time now because of IVY, but like when I get
Speaker 1: a chance to moisturize my whole like whole body, that's fine.
Speaker 1: That's a romanticizing like, oh my god, I love myself
Speaker 1: so much, MANA moisturize my body?
Speaker 2: Why are you laughing? And also feel like I should
Speaker 2: be more.
Speaker 1: I tear it's honestly, the best feeling I do.
Speaker 2: Just like my elbows and my knees and my hands, I.
Speaker 1: Can that's not fucking anat girl vibe a tear that
Speaker 1: girl vibe that's like a I'm not girl vibe. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, too much. And also, guys, if you're a
Speaker 1: mom and you like, I just need some you know,
Speaker 1: self care time. I used to wait till Ivy was asleep,
Speaker 1: and then like I'd get halfway through my shower and
Speaker 1: she'd wake up, and it was a whole big thing.
Speaker 1: I don't do that now. What I actually do is
Speaker 1: I wait for her playtime in her awake window, and
Speaker 1: I put down a mat with all her toys in
Speaker 1: my bedroom and then she can usually like occupy herself,
Speaker 1: and then I will go and have the shower and
Speaker 1: do the things, and she's just playing so I can
Speaker 1: see her. So that's all mama hack anyway. So I
Speaker 1: got off on a tangent there, but basically it's just
Speaker 1: relishing in the small moments. Like you, guys, I'm sure
Speaker 1: you can understand what it is here. Also, if we're
Speaker 1: talking about romanticizing your life, it's also like we've gone
Speaker 1: over the aesthetically pleasing things that make us feel a
Speaker 1: certain sort of way. And guys, it's all about finding
Speaker 1: what suits you. So for example, a tears like you know,
Speaker 1: moisturizing her body, her whole body like is not the
Speaker 1: vibe it is for me, It isn't for her. But
Speaker 1: you have to find what works for you. Don't just
Speaker 1: like copy what we're saying. You've got to really get
Speaker 1: into the crux of like what feels good for you,
Speaker 1: but also you know, getting into the inner sort of
Speaker 1: side of being that girl. It's it's the way you
Speaker 1: show up. So for example, if practices like meditation or
Speaker 1: journaling or just you know, being present in the moment
Speaker 1: makes you feel mindful, then later in the day in
Speaker 1: a situation, you don't react straight away and you can
Speaker 1: kind of show up as the person you are. That
Speaker 1: is also part of it, because it's putting in you know,
Speaker 1: those practices that I would say are romanticizing your life
Speaker 1: and like making you feel a certain way that then
Speaker 1: help you show up in a certain way. And I'm
Speaker 1: sure we all have a vision of how we want
Speaker 1: to show up and who we want to be. Like
Speaker 1: for me, it is someone it's I want to be
Speaker 1: patient for ivy. I want to be kind to Tim.
Speaker 1: I want to be productive for my team, And so
Speaker 1: the little practices I do in the mornings, like meditation
Speaker 1: or journaling or just being mindful of my car ride,
Speaker 1: maybe I turn off the podcast and I just actually
Speaker 1: be present in the moment. I know, those, you know,
Speaker 1: contribute to how I then show up. And I think also, like,
Speaker 1: you know, if we're talking about that girl, you can
Speaker 1: just tell she respects herself, respects her time, She sets
Speaker 1: boundaries like she's got it, she's got it all going
Speaker 1: on in the self development par department.
Speaker 3: And I feel like that girl is just never phased,
Speaker 3: no ever, like something can go completely wrong and she's like,
Speaker 3: oh good, got it back up, or like.
Speaker 1: Yeah it is is what it IS's go to what
Speaker 1: we know inside joke one hundred percent. And so that's
Speaker 1: for instance. And I don't know, like because I don't
Speaker 1: want to be like the whole aesthetically pleasing side of things,
Speaker 1: but again it's how you feel about it. So for instance,
Speaker 1: you know, today I knew I was recording, so I
Speaker 1: put makeup on, and I like dressed. I wouldn't say
Speaker 1: I look that cute, but like, you know, I got
Speaker 1: dressed out of not like I'm not an active way,
Speaker 1: which I usually am, and I just put like a
Speaker 1: little bit more effort into my appearance because I know
Speaker 1: it makes me feel a certain way. Again, I know
Speaker 1: that's the patriarchy and that's a whole other story, but.
Speaker 2: It does let us know.
Speaker 1: If you guys on an episode of that, well, look,
Speaker 1: I know there's issues there, but I'm just being real
Speaker 1: with you. And on the days that I do do that,
Speaker 1: I can show up and I can kind of feel
Speaker 1: a certain way. So, for instance, I'll notice such a
Speaker 1: big difference on the days that I romanticize my life
Speaker 1: and I put like I relish in the small moments,
Speaker 1: and you know, I put effort into showing up as
Speaker 1: the person I want to be compared to when I'm not.
Speaker 3: I think hearing you say that as well, I feel
Speaker 3: like it's about slowing down. That that girl is never phased.
Speaker 3: She takes things as they come, but she's also not
Speaker 3: rushing ever.
Speaker 2: But everywhere all the time.
Speaker 1: I'm I can't relate.
Speaker 2: It.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So it might even be as simple as just
Speaker 3: slowing down and like cut sometimes it might mean cutting
Speaker 3: things out so that you can enjoy everything instead of
Speaker 3: running around all the time.
Speaker 1: Well, I think it's also I think I spoke about
Speaker 1: this in the first episode back. But it's not about
Speaker 1: ticking things off a list. It's how you feel. So
Speaker 1: you need to have the autonomy of, like, you know,
Speaker 1: what can I do that is going to make me
Speaker 1: feel that way rather than Oh, I have to do this,
Speaker 1: this and this to you know, be that girl or whatever.
Speaker 1: So also, this is like a little mindset hack something
Speaker 1: I think about and I feel like this is a
Speaker 1: little bit off topic, but something in regards to the
Speaker 1: mindset of like romanticizing your life is really this like
Speaker 1: little hack that I'll do. And I want you you
Speaker 1: guys to think back to a period of your life
Speaker 1: just you know, any day that's something really great happened.
Speaker 1: So you know, maybe you found out that you got
Speaker 1: your dream job, or you know, the job you were
Speaker 1: playing for, or you got into the Uni degree. Maybe
Speaker 1: you found out you were pregnant, like that was one
Speaker 1: of the happiest days of my life. Or you've got
Speaker 1: the dream house. You know, you're moving to the place
Speaker 1: you want to move to, maybe you're moving in with
Speaker 1: your partner. Maybe you've won something like off an Instagram
Speaker 1: giveaway or something. So they think back to that day
Speaker 1: and something about that day is it started like any
Speaker 1: other ordinary day and then something extraordinary happened and it
Speaker 1: gave you that feeling. And something that I'll do that
Speaker 1: really romanticizes my life is I'll go into the day
Speaker 1: thinking something amazing is going to happen today, and how
Speaker 1: like don't you think how different your day would be
Speaker 1: if you were going into it going something amazing is
Speaker 1: going to happen, Like my life is like a movie.
Speaker 3: Exactly, And it's like I just write it down just
Speaker 3: then because it's like it's looking for the magic or
Speaker 3: like the movie the mundane things. Yes, it's like it's raining,
Speaker 3: Oh don't get irritated, go outside and dance in it.
Speaker 3: If you're like rug up, yeah, or rug up, stay inside,
Speaker 3: get thee yeah yeah. And if if you walk through
Speaker 3: a puddle, don't be like my day's ruined. I have
Speaker 3: wet socks. Now, just pull your shoes off and walk
Speaker 3: around barefoot, like oh.
Speaker 2: My god, don't do.
Speaker 1: In the office. Yeah, one hundred percent. And like it's
Speaker 1: just it's that feeling of like oh my god, yeah,
Speaker 1: like I'm in a movie like magic, Like I expect
Speaker 1: great things to happen, and you know, of course I
Speaker 1: was going to put some manifesting in this episode, but
Speaker 1: that's the whole thing of life attracts. Like, imagine what
Speaker 1: you would attract into your life if you lived every
Speaker 1: day like that, compared to if you lived every day like,
Speaker 1: oh it's raining, Oh this has happened. Oh it's just
Speaker 1: an ordinary day. No, guys, we are extraordinary exactly.
Speaker 3: And I think even on that, like it's the best
Speaker 3: thing in your life could happen to you, and I
Speaker 3: guarantee there's still a way to find something wrong with it.
Speaker 2: Like you could get approved for a.
Speaker 3: House and you could just be like, yeah, it's nice,
Speaker 3: but it's not the one that I wanted. You could
Speaker 3: get approved, you could get a great car, and you
Speaker 3: could be like, Yep, it's nice, but it doesn't have
Speaker 3: the right colortion that.
Speaker 1: I paid too much money for it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, instead of just looking at it and being like, whoa,
Speaker 3: I've achieved this amazing thing and it might not be
Speaker 3: exactly right, but this is great and this is the
Speaker 3: first step, and it's going to happen again and again
Speaker 3: and again.
Speaker 1: Yes, well, I think that's a trap that we can't
Speaker 1: fall into and it's about romanticizing your life and being like,
Speaker 1: holy shit, this is you know, this could be the
Speaker 1: day that everything or I expect amazing things to happen
Speaker 1: and how amazing would our lives be? And I fall
Speaker 1: into the trap too of being in that mindset. But
Speaker 1: if we can just be conscious of it and try
Speaker 1: and yes, switch switch our thinking to that like so
Speaker 1: magical love love. So in conclusion, guys, you know you
Speaker 1: can You can buy aesthetically pleasing things that make you
Speaker 1: feel a certain way, a noe, powder of coffee. It
Speaker 1: can literally be that small and simple, or it could
Speaker 1: be making something a ritual. At the end of the episode,
Speaker 1: I will put in some snippets because we went into
Speaker 1: the end h office and we asked the and Hah girls,
Speaker 1: like how do they romanticize their lives? And they were
Speaker 1: all such small rituals, but they were so beautiful. So
Speaker 1: you'll hear that at the end. So it doesn't have
Speaker 1: to be anything crazy and you don't actually have to
Speaker 1: go buy things. It's just about what is meaningful to you. Also,
Speaker 1: can I just touch on something Maybe it's not that
Speaker 1: you like, you know, pretty things or things to look
Speaker 1: in a certain way. Maybe it's just like you like
Speaker 1: your environment clean or whatever it is. You've got to
Speaker 1: find what kind of like tickles your fancy and go
Speaker 1: off that. So that's obviously like some tangible stuff and
Speaker 1: that's amazing, but it wouldn't be an R and C
Speaker 1: episode if we didn't get into like the mindset and
Speaker 1: like the self development behind this. Because again, if we're
Speaker 1: doing all these things and we're buying the pretty things
Speaker 1: and we're doing the rituals, but they're actually not you
Speaker 1: know what lights us up. We haven't done the inner
Speaker 1: work and we haven't really you know, dived deep into
Speaker 1: why we might be feeling a certain way, why we
Speaker 1: feel like we can't show up as that girl. Then
Speaker 1: these tangible things are not going to work. We need
Speaker 1: to do the inner work first, and then that is
Speaker 1: going to shine outwards. So the biggest thing with romanticizing
Speaker 1: your life is you can't just copy what I've said.
Speaker 1: You need to find what works for you, what actually
Speaker 1: feels good for you. But you also need to get
Speaker 1: into a place where you love yourself wholeheartily enough to
Speaker 1: believe you are worthy of these small moments of joy.
Speaker 1: You're worthy of enjoying the process of enjoying every day,
Speaker 1: because I believe there would be so many people who
Speaker 1: don't romanticize their life because they just think they're not
Speaker 1: worthy of the beautiful life. They're not worthy enjoying, you know,
Speaker 1: those small moments or buying the cute stationary and those
Speaker 1: things are not going to fix anything. If it's like
Speaker 1: it's just going to be basically a band aid if
Speaker 1: you haven't done the inner work and if you haven't
Speaker 1: kind of really dived deep into why you don't feel
Speaker 1: worthy of romanticizing your life. So I know that like
Speaker 1: knowing you're worthy is like that's a that's a huge thing.
Speaker 1: Like that's that's something you could work with a therapist with,
Speaker 1: like I know I did for years. I saw a
Speaker 1: psychologist and a lot of my issues and trauma was
Speaker 1: about worthiness. So we're not going to like get deep
Speaker 1: into that. And that's obviously something we go deeper in
Speaker 1: in the project, my seven week self development and manifesting course.
Speaker 1: But I want you to just think about it, because
Speaker 1: if you haven't been romanticizing your life and you kind
Speaker 1: of just like you can't vibe what we're talking about,
Speaker 1: is this, you know, a worthiness issue, and like, ask
Speaker 1: yourself these questions, So, what do I like to do?
Speaker 1: Can you add more of that into your life? How
Speaker 1: can you relish in the becoming? How can you bring
Speaker 1: main character energy to your every day?
Speaker 3: I think also after you ask yourself what you like
Speaker 3: to do, ask yourself what you like in what you
Speaker 3: do already? If that makes sense. So like, if you're
Speaker 3: making a coffee and that's not your favorite thing to do,
Speaker 3: what do you particularly like about making your coffee? Do
Speaker 3: you like playing music? Do you like taking a cute
Speaker 3: little video? Do you like just find the smaller things
Speaker 3: that you enjoy doing in everything you do, as well
Speaker 3: as adding more of what you enjoy.
Speaker 1: Yes, But that's even that's a great point of to
Speaker 1: here because maybe it is that of if you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: like I don't really enjoy anything, it's like, well, when
Speaker 1: you make your coffee, can you put your favorite song on?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Can that's your thing? Yeah? And that's your thing. For me,
Speaker 1: I went through this phase where I used to have
Speaker 1: my coffee just like a latte, like nothing in it,
Speaker 1: and I just did not enjoy it. I was like,
Speaker 1: this tastes like shit, and I have it every single
Speaker 1: day and so then I started adding vanilla and I
Speaker 1: was like a vanilla life changed. And ice vanilla latte
Speaker 1: on oat milk life changing. And I know it's a
Speaker 1: bit of extra sugar, but I love it.
Speaker 2: Do you mean? Yeah?
Speaker 1: A small trade off for the joy and I'm always
Speaker 1: gonna pick it sometimes. I even added sugar to it.
Speaker 1: A tear is like.
Speaker 2: Really living here, I am with like five cheesecakes. Oh
Speaker 2: my god.
Speaker 1: A tea was telling me how she doesn't drink coffee
Speaker 1: because she has to have it really sweet, and she said.
Speaker 2: I didn't know half strength coffee was a thief.
Speaker 1: She didn't know half strength coffee was her thing. So
Speaker 1: she used to get a normal coffee and then get
Speaker 1: five pumps of caramel. And then I was like, essentially
Speaker 1: took two months of going to the same cafe evers
Speaker 1: did it? Finally say did you just want to try
Speaker 1: my past strength and tuopops of caramel?
Speaker 2: And I was like, that's a thing.
Speaker 1: But also you tried my vanilla and I latte the
Speaker 1: other day, which has one pump of vanilla, I'm sure,
Speaker 1: and you were like this is great. So I think
Speaker 1: you were going to a shit cafe. I'm I can't
Speaker 1: say the name. Yeah, we won't say the name. But
Speaker 1: those are the questions I want you to ask yourself.
Speaker 1: And then also, you know, really think about this worthiness
Speaker 1: component of if you feel like you can't romanticize your
Speaker 1: life and you can't find joy in the small moments, like,
Speaker 1: let's kind of dive deeper into why you can't and
Speaker 1: why you don't feel worthy of that. And again, that's
Speaker 1: a whole other episode and we can't we can't get
Speaker 1: into that right now, guys. So to finish off this episode,
Speaker 1: I just want you, guys to sit, take a couple
Speaker 1: of breaths. If you're driving, don't closure eyes. If you
Speaker 1: aren't driving, closure eyes, And I want you to repeat
Speaker 1: after me because this is kind of going to help
Speaker 1: you get into the feeling of what it should feel
Speaker 1: like to romanticize your life. So repeat after me. I
Speaker 1: am worthy of a beautiful life. I am worthy of
Speaker 1: love and happiness. I will chase the joy and find
Speaker 1: happiness in the small moments. I will romanticize my life.
Speaker 1: I am meant for extraordinary things. Now, guys, you've got
Speaker 1: to for affirmations to work, you've got to sit with
Speaker 1: that feeling. You have to believe them. Because they are true.
Speaker 1: Start romanticizing the fuck out of your life, my lumps,
Speaker 1: because you bloody deserve it. All right, guys, Now, to
Speaker 1: finish off the episode, we thought it would be a
Speaker 1: bit of fun to ask the girls in the NH
Speaker 1: warehouse how they romanticize their lives. Hi, guys, I'm Brooke
Speaker 1: and I'm the community manager here at Naked Harvest. I
Speaker 1: romanticize my life.
