Speaker 1: a lawyer turned entrepreneur, co founder of Naked Harvest Supplements,
Speaker 1: and social media personality with a community of over three
Speaker 1: hundred thousand. I grew up believing I had to pursue
Speaker 1: the safe option and fit into a mold others had
Speaker 1: created for me. But then I entered my corporate law
Speaker 1: job and I realized that settling for a reality that
Speaker 1: did I didn't set my soul on fire, was something
Speaker 1: I was not prepared to do. I wanted more, and
Speaker 1: I have a feeling you do too. Join me and

Speaker 1: what are you waiting for? Let's Rise and conquer. Hey, guys,
Speaker 1: welcome to another episode of the Rise and Podcast. Today,
Speaker 1: I've got a solo EP for you. It's going to
Speaker 1: be quick and sweet and hopefully motivational. So I actually
Speaker 1: just got off my stories chatting about this, but I
Speaker 1: was just feeling so inspired and hyped up because I,
Speaker 1: I don't know, I truly believe that I often, you know,
Speaker 1: get these feelings and stuff that comes to my life,
Speaker 1: and I often feel like if I'm feeling this and
Speaker 1: I feel really passionate about it, it's something that I
Speaker 1: usually have to share with my audience. I don't know
Speaker 1: if this is super weird, but I have just this
Speaker 1: really overwhelming reason of this is why I have my platform,
Speaker 1: and it's to empower and inspire other women who are
Speaker 1: going through something I previously went through or doubting themselves.
Speaker 1: So let's get straight into it. So I was on
Speaker 1: my lunch break I give myself like an hour, and
Speaker 1: I was watching a Ted talk because somethink I do
Speaker 1: when I'm feeling just a bit like blah or just
Speaker 1: like I, you know, I want to consume some content,
Speaker 1: but I you know, I want it to be entertaining.
Speaker 1: But I don't want to go watch like a TV show.
Speaker 1: I want it to be somewhat of you know, personal
Speaker 1: development and giving me value. So often I'll google good
Speaker 1: like Ted talks and watch them on YouTube. And so
Speaker 1: I watched one and it was good, and then I
Speaker 1: stumbled across another one and it was really good. I'll
Speaker 1: get Grace to link it in the show notes. It
Speaker 1: is about being your authentic self, which is actually, you know,
Speaker 1: something I talk about a lot, And just basically, this
Speaker 1: woman was explaining that we are all and her belief
Speaker 1: is like, you know, we're all here for a purpose,
Speaker 1: and our life is meant to have a purpose, and
Speaker 1: we're meant to be so different and not conform and
Speaker 1: not just you know, lead the same lives of you know,
Speaker 1: going to university and then getting married and then finding
Speaker 1: a stable job, and you know, all that thing of
Speaker 1: what we feel like we're supposed to be doing. Her
Speaker 1: big thing was like things are supposed to be different.
Speaker 1: We are supposed to be different, and that's what is
Speaker 1: so beautiful. And I just loved it. It was just
Speaker 1: such a great reminder that you know, we all are
Speaker 1: so different, we're all on this journey, and it was
Speaker 1: a great thing. In the YouTube, I can't remember her name,
Speaker 1: but it was a singer and she was getting asked
Speaker 1: because she was about to perform after someone who was
Speaker 1: like really well famous, and she was getting asked if
Speaker 1: she was nervous to perform after you know, this really
Speaker 1: inspiring famous woman, and she was like, don't get me wrong,
Speaker 1: Like she is amazing, and that is like her performance
Speaker 1: will be amazing, but also I am amazing, and I
Speaker 1: have a certain gift and I have a difference, you know,
Speaker 1: to give to the audience and express myself and like
Speaker 1: we can't compare ourselves because we both give so much.
Speaker 1: And yeah, it was just really beautiful. Anyway, I'm really
Speaker 1: getting off track here, but that was also a great
Speaker 1: message I wanted to share, and I will. Yeah, I'll
Speaker 1: link that Ted talk in the show notes so you
Speaker 1: can go check it out. But then after and you
Speaker 1: know how like the video will automatically load something, so
Speaker 1: it loaded one of my old videos and I think
Speaker 1: this was because I wasn't signed into my account, so
Speaker 1: it didn't know it was me, and it loaded one
Speaker 1: of my old videos and it was a video and
Speaker 1: I checked like the stamp date and it was exactly
Speaker 1: two years ago, roughly two years ago, and it was
Speaker 1: a video I made when I was working full time
Speaker 1: in my corporate position as a like a senior law clerk,
Speaker 1: and I was doing my pot and I was just
Speaker 1: about to get admitted as a lawyer. At this point,
Speaker 1: I did know I wasn't going to pursue law, but
Speaker 1: I just really wanted to finish it, get admitted. You know,
Speaker 1: I had just studied for six years, so I wanted
Speaker 1: that piece of paper and then, you know, to make
Speaker 1: sure that I could go back to my career in
Speaker 1: law if I wanted to. So I was at that
Speaker 1: stage and I'm watching and I just like started watching
Speaker 1: the video and it's like, you know, I'm waking up.
Speaker 1: It's I'd start the night before and I'm prepping my
Speaker 1: lunch and then I'm way because I think at this
Speaker 1: point too, I was getting ready for my wedding. So
Speaker 1: I was really into like hardcore training and dieting. Not dieting,
Speaker 1: but I was just you know, I was going to
Speaker 1: gym early and stuff like that. So I was like
Speaker 1: packing my lunch the night before, I had cooked it.
Speaker 1: And then the next morning, you know, I got up
Speaker 1: at four o'clock and I got ready. I kissed him goodbye.
Speaker 1: He's still asleep. I go to gym, I smash out
Speaker 1: a session with my pet. I come back and I
Speaker 1: make my lunch and I quickly get ready and I'm
Speaker 1: like at the bus stop, ready to jump on the
Speaker 1: bus before seven o'clock. And I'm just like watching it,
Speaker 1: like in disbelief. And obviously, you know that was my
Speaker 1: life for so long, but I'm watching it. I'm like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, Georgie, like you hustled girlfriend, like basically
Speaker 1: egging myself on. And then you know, I did my
Speaker 1: work day. And it's funny because I I film like
Speaker 1: little snippets of like getting into work, and because I
Speaker 1: would walk to the bus and like flats, like ballerina flats,
Speaker 1: and then once I'd get to work, I'd like put
Speaker 1: heels on and be in heels all day. And I
Speaker 1: just remember hating that because it was so uncomfortable. But
Speaker 1: like I literally filmed taking my ballet flats off and
Speaker 1: putting my heels on, and even like I saw a
Speaker 1: little bit of my old office, and like, I literally
Speaker 1: just started crying because it was just so emotional for me,
Speaker 1: because you know, for so long that was my life.
Speaker 1: And even though at that point I knew this was
Speaker 1: not the end goal, I was like giving it my all.
Speaker 1: I was absolutely giving it my all because I just
Speaker 1: knew I wanted bigger, better things. I knew I had
Speaker 1: to hustle to get there. This episode is brought to

Speaker 1: sure I put a link in the show notes. Okay,
Speaker 1: let's get straight back into the episode. And it's just
Speaker 1: like it's so crazy to think because you know, back then,
Speaker 1: I didn't even know what this life looks like now.
Speaker 1: And you know, like I got there in the end,
Speaker 1: and I'm not saying where I am now is my
Speaker 1: end goal in any way, but it literally brought me
Speaker 1: to tears to think about my life then and to
Speaker 1: think about my life now, because back then I can
Speaker 1: just see like I was, you know, I was working
Speaker 1: a job that I did because I, you know, wanted
Speaker 1: to have a certain you know, first of all, like
Speaker 1: I wanted to please my parents, and I wanted to have,
Speaker 1: you know, a certain status in society. And basically I
Speaker 1: was doing what I thought I had to do instead
Speaker 1: of really what I was passionate about. And I was
Speaker 1: like not sleep walking through my life because you can
Speaker 1: see like I was being quite intentional, but just my
Speaker 1: life now compared to then, Like I was like, I
Speaker 1: don't know if this is going to be too bold,
Speaker 1: But I look back at my life and I was like,
Speaker 1: I could have so easily given up, not like lent
Speaker 1: into those feelings of intuition and lent into those feelings
Speaker 1: of I made for something more. I want to do more.
Speaker 1: And I could have just had that life where you know,
Speaker 1: I went into law and I did family law and
Speaker 1: it would have been fine, like it was an amazing life.
Speaker 1: But I think of my life now, which it's only
Speaker 1: two years difference, and it literally it brings me to
Speaker 1: tears because I'm like, oh my god, if I didn't,
Speaker 1: you know, take bold action, if I didn't keep going
Speaker 1: when it was hard, if I didn't you know, if
Speaker 1: I had listened to everyone else, and if I had
Speaker 1: done what I thought I should do rather than listening
Speaker 1: to you know, my passion and like I call it,
Speaker 1: like the light inside of me, the fire inside of me.
Speaker 1: I could have still been in that life, and like
Speaker 1: I'm not. It's not about it being a shit life
Speaker 1: or anything like that, because you know, I adored that life.
Speaker 1: But I guess I'm trying to say how I feel
Speaker 1: now and how I live now. It feels so authentic.
Speaker 1: It feels so like this is what I'm born here
Speaker 1: to do. It just feels so aligned, it feels so authentic,
Speaker 1: and I just like it brought me to tears because
Speaker 1: I am so grateful for where I'm at. And I guess,
Speaker 1: you know, for a long time, I just I didn't
Speaker 1: feel clear on myself. I didn't really know who I was.
Speaker 1: I didn't really know why I'm you know, on this planet,
Speaker 1: or what I should be doing or who I should
Speaker 1: be pleasing. And I honestly like, and I've said this before,
Speaker 1: but I felt like I was in a big, a
Speaker 1: bit of a fog, and you know, there was these
Speaker 1: little signs and there was these little feelings, and I,
Speaker 1: you know, i'd listen to a podcast, like a podcast
Speaker 1: like this with a woman saying something and I'd you know,
Speaker 1: i'd feel empowered and then I'd make this next step.
Speaker 1: And I guess what I'm trying to say, guys, is
Speaker 1: if you're currently not where you want to be, keep going,
Speaker 1: keep fighting, keep pushing, keep following those little, you know,
Speaker 1: steps of intuition and you know, listening to the stuff
Speaker 1: that makes you feel good and being around people who
Speaker 1: makes you feel good and then not letting people who
Speaker 1: are quite toxic or quite negative get you down. Because like,
Speaker 1: like I said, like it would have been so easy
Speaker 1: for me to stop and just have accepted this mundane
Speaker 1: life that yeah, like it was fine, but it was
Speaker 1: not my passion, and it would have been so easy
Speaker 1: to do that, And it makes me so sad because
Speaker 1: I just know so many people would do that. And
Speaker 1: so what I'm saying is, you know you're dream life,
Speaker 1: your most authentic life might be around the corner, and
Speaker 1: it is your responsibility to keep going, to keep pushing.
Speaker 1: And it's okay if you're not clear, It's okay if
Speaker 1: you don't know what that you know specifically looks like
Speaker 1: I had. If if you spoke to me back then
Speaker 1: and you said, Georgia, what does your dream look like?
Speaker 1: Dream life look like? It? Like I couldn't have told you,
Speaker 1: and I don't think I would have described how I'm
Speaker 1: currently living. But I feel like, you know, I'm living
Speaker 1: my dream life, like I can boldly say that, and
Speaker 1: it's just, yeah, it's like crazy to think that. It
Speaker 1: also was a huge part of you know, like putting
Speaker 1: myself first, putting my passions first, and going, hey, I
Speaker 1: don't care what people think, I don't care what I
Speaker 1: should be doing. I care about this feeling of purpose
Speaker 1: and passion and I'm just going to see what happens.
Speaker 1: And it was like messy action. It's not like I
Speaker 1: had all this clear action and it all just came
Speaker 1: like it was messy, bold action. And there were so
Speaker 1: many times where I felt so uncomfortable. There were so
Speaker 1: many times where I felt so unclear. There were so
Speaker 1: many times where people were like, oh my god, Georgia,
Speaker 1: you just studied six years and now you're going to quit.
Speaker 1: What are you doing? Like, what are you doing? There
Speaker 1: was so much at that and I could have listened
Speaker 1: to it, but I didn't, and I listened to myself
Speaker 1: and yeah, I just kept going and I'm so I'm
Speaker 1: so proud of myself and I can honestly say that,
Speaker 1: and yeah, so anyway, there's been a bit of a rant,
Speaker 1: bit of a random podcast, but I strongly believe that,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm given these sort of you know, messages
Speaker 1: and thoughts because I know so many others would be
Speaker 1: feeling exactly how I was back then take a breath. So, guys, yeah,
Speaker 1: just your weakly reminder to keep going, keep pushing, keep
Speaker 1: exploring your passions, keep leaning into the feelings that light
Speaker 1: you up, that make you feel good, and also the
Speaker 1: biggest thing I want to have, Like, even though I
Speaker 1: didn't know what this dream life looked like, and I
Speaker 1: didn't know why that feeling of you know, I meant
Speaker 1: for bigger, better things, I didn't know what that looked like.
Speaker 1: But I just had so much faith that if you know,
Speaker 1: if I kept working, if I kept putting one foot
Speaker 1: in front of the other, you know, I trusted the
Speaker 1: universe would bring it to me. And you need to
Speaker 1: have that belief. Have faith. If you want amazing things,
Speaker 1: have faith the universe will bring you amazing things. You
Speaker 1: deserve that and so much more. All right, guys, hope
Speaker 1: you have an amazing day. I'm gonna love and leave you,
