Speaker 1: Welcome to a Very Outspoken Christmas. It's that time of

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: year to crank Mariah carry in the car and begin

3
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:10,480
Speaker 1: your Christmas shopping. Our names are Amy Kate and Sophie Torba.

4
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 1: We're identical triplets and during the festive season, we have

5
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:17,159
Speaker 1: an identical opinion Christmas is the most wonderful time of

6
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 1: the year. In this special series, we're discussing all things

7
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: Christmas with help from some influential Australians.

8
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 2: For you Glan cal call you go Glan cl Clone.

9
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 2: And when Santa squeezes fat white ass down that Jimmy Day,

10
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 2: He's gonna find the jolliest bunch of assholes this side

11
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 2: of the nuthouse.

12
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: Hello and welcome to episode four of A Very Outspoken Christmas. Today,

13
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: we are so excited to be joined by influencer and

14
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 1: businesswoman at Georgie Stevenson. We really wanted to have Georgie

15
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: on the show because we thought it was important to

16
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,239
Speaker 1: share the story of someone who hasn't grown up with

17
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: a traditional Christmas. But before we get into the chat

18
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: with Georgie, Sophie, you've got some really exciting news regarding

19
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: your tree. What's a bit of a shit gameful announcement.

20
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: I feel I did succumb to temptation and I did

21
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,639
Speaker 1: buy a bow some Hill Christmas tree in the early

22
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: Black Friday sales. I love it because Kate and I

23
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: have literally been telling everybody about the purchase because it

24
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: was a rather expensive one. It was so funny. I

25
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: was at Dale's Poppy's house the other day and I

26
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: showed him your Christmas tree. He was very, very impressed,

27
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: and Dale decided to ask him how much he thought

28
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: it was. He sweetly replied that he thought it was

29
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: one hundred dollars, but he wouldn't pay that much for it.

30
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: Can I just say I don't spend a lot of

31
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: money during the year. I would say I don't drink,

32
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: I don't go out on crazy nights out. I try

33
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: and limit the amount of clothes. I've been very good

34
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: this year. I've been very frugal, So this is my

35
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 1: one splurge of the year. I've loved it. Next day,

36
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: you've been frugal, Yeah, like you. You had to pay

37
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: double rent this year. It's not been a cheap year

38
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: for you. But I'm not Look, I'm not shaming you

39
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: over the Christmas tree investment. It's an investment I'm going

40
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 1: to have this thing for ten years. I paid one

41
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: hundred and forty dollars for her real Christmas tree, which

42
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: is going to go in the in a few weeks time.

43
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: I didn't even feel bad about that. Can I just say,

44
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: I feel like there's a new trend that's starting. People

45
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: talk about people shaming each other for different things. Christmas

46
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,679
Speaker 1: tree shaming is a real thing at the moment. What

47
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: do you mean if your Christmas tree is shit or

48
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: if your Christmas tree is too expensive? No, I feel like,

49
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: you know, me spending one hundred and forty dollars in

50
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: a real Christmas tree, I feel like people will shame

51
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: me because they think that that's too much. And the

52
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: same with your balsome heel tree. I actually I'm very

53
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: disappointed because I have told everyone don't go and tell anyone,

54
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: like Brandon is on strict instructions not to tell his

55
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: parents how much the tree was. And it's funny because

56
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 1: when people don't know, they're very complimentary to us. Oh

57
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,239
Speaker 1: it's a beautiful tree. I'm taken back how good it

58
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: bloody looks. And I was very jealous when we're putting

59
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: it up, it's so soft like this is not an

60
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: ad for about some hills. The most glorious thing was

61
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: it actually came with gloves in the box, two sets

62
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: of gloves. It's an absolute wank fast. You put these

63
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: gloves on so you can fan the branches out, and

64
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: oh my god. Like I hate our mum and Dad's

65
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 1: fake tree like it is. I've talked about it before.

66
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 1: It is painful put decorations on. This one was exquisite.

67
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: It's so funny because tonight we're actually going to mum

68
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 1: and Dad's house to put their Christmas tree up, and

69
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 1: Dad was so cute. He sent through a photo of

70
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: the tree ready to go, and it looks so shit

71
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: in comparison to Sophie's tree. I've got to say, Sophie,

72
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: after seeing your tree, I did feel very tempted to

73
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: purchase one, but that has all changed since Kate and

74
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: I went down to the Christmas tree farm with our

75
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: mum over the weekend. The smell when you walked in

76
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: it was just Christmas. I think the best bit was

77
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: we realized it was the first time we'd ever actually

78
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: gone to get a tree with mum because she normally

79
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: stays at home and Dad is the one that takes

80
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: us to go get the Christmas tree, and she was

81
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: being so cute. We drove in and she was like, wow,

82
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: it smells so beautiful. And then when we got the

83
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: tree and we were driving home, she's like, gosh, that

84
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: was just so easy. I have to admit I was

85
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: feeling a little bit sad when I saw that Steph

86
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: Claire Smith and Kira Maguire both had real trees. I

87
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: had a bit of envy going on and thought, have

88
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: I made the right decision. What I loved about Steph

89
00:03:58,120 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: was that it was so boogie because she got the

90
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: tree delivered to her doorstep on December first, and it

91
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: was almost as if she'd forgotten that it was meant

92
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: to be arriving. Yeah, but you can do that. You

93
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: can actually pay them. I think it's fifty dollars and

94
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: they drop it off and twenty five dollars and they

95
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: also take it away. So there's really no excuse not

96
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: to have a real tree. I have to say that

97
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 1: I might be slightly biased, but I do feel like

98
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: my Christmas tree holds the decorations. But oh definitely, it

99
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 1: actually looks amazing. I do love the inm built lights.

100
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: I think that's the best part of it. I really

101
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: feel like this year we've got to have a competition

102
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: because now that we've all got slightly different trees, I

103
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 1: feel like it makes it more interesting. So Kate's not

104
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: getting her tree until the fourteenth of December, it might

105
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: even be like the fifteenth or sixteenth. Well, I think

106
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to take drastic measures into our own hands,

107
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: and it's gonna have to be a competition between Amy

108
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: and my tree. No, I want to be involved. Why

109
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: can't the competition be later? It needs to be now.

110
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: Unfortunately you've just missed out. Well maybe you could be

111
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 1: between Amy and mine and then the winner takes on

112
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 1: your tree. Look, I think this is unfair that I

113
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: can't be involved in the competition. Well, you don't have

114
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 1: a tree. Talking about competitions, did anyone see that photo

115
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: of l Darby and her partner con and they're gorgeous puppies.

116
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: Oh my god, this photo is an epic Christmas photo.

117
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 1: This is one that could go on a Christmas card

118
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: and I really want to replicate it. Yeah, well, we're

119
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: going to put the photo in our Facebook community group

120
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: and also probably on our Instagram account. Have a look

121
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: at it. Because we're going to try and reconstruct it

122
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: and we want you to vote who did it best.

123
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: Well's basically them in Christmas theme pajamas in front of

124
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 1: the tree, the dog sitting perfectly. I think I had

125
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: this in the bag because Archie poses like no other

126
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: dog I've ever seen before. Look, I'm not really worried

127
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: about the dogs. I'm more worried about people's boyfriends.

128
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 2: Now.

129
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: I know Reese is going to kick up a fuss

130
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 1: if he has to be in the photo. Maybe just

131
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 1: photoshop his face into it. Can everyone else get into

132
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: it and recreate it with their boyfriends? Because I'd love

133
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: to see other people's boyfriends dragged into this audi. Yes,

134
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,359
Speaker 1: I want to start a thread see who can do

135
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: the best under the Christmas tree photo? Can I ask

136
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,359
Speaker 1: a question? Because they've got their two dogs, so obviously

137
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 1: I'm going to include my two cats, Gigi and Bentley.

138
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: Should it also include the bunnies? I've got two bunny rabbits? Mmm,

139
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: that might be a bit challenging. Look, if it's a competition, yes,

140
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: because you're not going to get a shot. Finally, I

141
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: really want to recommend an amazing Christmas podcast that's just

142
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: come out It is Sam Magnan's Christmas Special now. He

143
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: launched the first episode yesterday and it is hilarious and

144
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to the three episodes to come for

145
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: anyone who wants to look it up. His podcast is

146
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: called Literally Nobody Cares and it is just hilarious. People

147
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 1: who actually have a sense of humor, which I feel

148
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: like our listeners do, should go and check it out.

149
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 2: Well, blake my head? How can I forget and have

150
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 2: a replaced because every time Catherine read up the microwave

151
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 2: that pissed my pants and forget who I was for

152
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 2: half hour or so.

153
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,799
Speaker 1: Officially, Georgie, welcome to a very outspoken Christmas. We're really

154
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: really excited to have you on the show.

155
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 2: Thank you so much for having me. I'm really excited.

156
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 2: We've just had a long conversation off air. We thought

157
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 2: it was time to start, so I'm really excited. And yeah,

158
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 2: thanks for inviting me on your Christmas special. It does.

159
00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 2: It feels interesting, which I'm sure we'll get into.

160
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know it's going to be a very interesting chat.

161
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: But firstly, we just wanted to say we're so sorry

162
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: to hear the really sad news about you're and Tim's miscarriage,

163
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: and we just wanted to say we think it has

164
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: been so amazing of you to shed light on this

165
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: because it's something a lot of women go through. We

166
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: just want to just find out how you're going and

167
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: what the feedback has been from people who have heard

168
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: your story.

169
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 2: Thank you. I appreciate that it's happened quite recently and

170
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 2: it has been a very hard time for us, you

171
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 2: know it, Like I was saying two guys off there,

172
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 2: it did feel like a bit of a miracle baby

173
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 2: baby and then for it to be taken away for

174
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 2: super cruel. But I did speak out about it because

175
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 2: it is it happens so often, like one in four

176
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 2: pregnancies and a miscarriage, And like I kind of explained

177
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 2: on my platform, I'm not just going to show up

178
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 2: and you know, talk about all my most positive things

179
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 2: in life and then not share when I have hardships.

180
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 2: I think it's kind of important to be transparent and

181
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 2: authentic on that sort of side of things. So I

182
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 2: did share the news and I had such an overwhelming

183
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 2: response of just love and support and honestly, like it is,

184
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 2: it is like a weird not a weird, but it

185
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 2: is like a taboo, you know subject and is I

186
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 2: get it, like women who don't want to speak about it,

187
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I get it. It is so sensitive

188
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 2: and it can feel like you can have these feelings

189
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 2: of like feeling a bit ashamed, and you know, as women,

190
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 2: our bodies, that's what they're supposed to do, so when

191
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 2: you have a miscarriage, it does have this weird sort

192
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 2: of sense around it. But it was very important to

193
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 2: me because when I did share, I felt so much

194
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 2: less alone because you know, I had DMS messages of

195
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 2: just people telling me their stories and what they went through,

196
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 2: and quite a few people were like, I really appreciate

197
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 2: you speaking out about it because I recently had a

198
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 2: miscarriage and hadn't really told anyone and now I had,

199
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 2: and I feel so much, you know, support, And I

200
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 2: think for me, if anything, I like, I wouldn't have

201
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 2: been able to show up on my social media's and

202
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 2: I am someone who does show up, you know, on

203
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 2: Instagram it's every single day, and stories on YouTube it's weekly,

204
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 2: and I wouldn't have been able to show up without

205
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 2: you crying and being upset. So I just showed up

206
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 2: as is, and I think people kind of they just

207
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 2: they appreciate when you are honest and real, and yeah,

208
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 2: it's something that happens, and it's really bloody sad and

209
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 2: it's really hot, and I'm not gonna cry because it's

210
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 2: all good. I have kind of had a bitter piece

211
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 2: of it and you know, done a lot of process,

212
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 2: but yeah, I really I appreciate those thoughts.

213
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 1: Well, thank you so much for sharing that with us.

214
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: And it makes me feel so sad hearing you're getting upset,

215
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: And I can imagine it would be such a hard

216
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 1: time because Christmas is meant to be that time where

217
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 1: everyone's celebrating and being in a happy mood, and to

218
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: find out such devastating news, obviously there's no good time

219
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: to hear that. But I'm just so sorry that you're

220
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: having to go through this, and I really hope you're okay.

221
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 2: I know, I know, yeah, I do appreciate it. I

222
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 2: know we're like we had plans to kind of like

223
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 2: tell our whole family, do a bit of a reveal

224
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 2: on Christmas Day, and you know, all that sort of thing.

225
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,959
Speaker 2: But yeah, look, it's it's not meant to be and

226
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 2: it's all going to happen in the perfect timing, but Yeah,

227
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 2: I really appreciate it, and I'm just sending so much

228
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 2: love to anyone else going through something similar. It is

229
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 2: very hard, but yeah we're strong.

230
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's so lovely, and I'm sure a lot of

231
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: people do feel, you know, softble emfitted to hear that.

232
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 1: Just segueing into Christmas and a lot of people probably

233
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 1: don't know this, but you've had a very different Christmas

234
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: time growing up being a Jehovah's Witness. What was it

235
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: like growing up and not being able to celebrate Christmas?

236
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, so this is quite interesting because a couple of

237
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:23,319
Speaker 2: Christmases ago, like I think I was blogging on YouTube

238
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 2: and someone said something about us not having a Christmas tree,

239
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 2: and I just simply explained, oh, I used to be

240
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 2: a Jehoah's Witness growing up and we never did the

241
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 2: Christmas tree thing, so we just kind of have never

242
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:39,959
Speaker 2: done it. And then I realized how shocked everyone and

243
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 2: they was like, what, So, yeah, I was a Jehovah's Witness.

244
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 2: I think I maybe it was around four when and

245
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 2: it was just my mom, not my dad, so my

246
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 2: bit my dad was obviously very supportive, and so it

247
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 2: was around four when my mom started or joined whatever

248
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 2: your ought to call it. And then we stopped about

249
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 2: I think maybe I was fourteen, so it was a

250
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 2: good ten years. It's really interesting because I honestly didn't

251
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:14,599
Speaker 2: know any better. So I have no memories of a Christmas,

252
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 2: you know, growing up, or traditions or anything like that.

253
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 2: So I guess it's the whole what you don't have,

254
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 2: you don't know. So I never felt like, you know,

255
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 2: I went without and we did these we had these

256
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 2: days called present days where we would just get a

257
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 2: whole bunch of presents, so basically Christmas and quite close

258
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 2: to you know, whatever days. And because it was just

259
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 2: my mum, like we weren't, you know, crazy about it

260
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 2: or anything, and so I yeah, I just kind of

261
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 2: didn't know any better. But my extended family used to celebrate,

262
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 2: so we would go to different things, so like I

263
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 2: knew of Christmas, but it's just like, wasn't something in

264
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 2: my life. I don't know.

265
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: For those who don't know, because I didn't know this

266
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: until I did a google before we spoke to you.

267
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 1: But why is it that Jehovah's witness don't celebrate Christmas?

268
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,839
Speaker 1: Because this was actually news to me. That sounds very

269
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 1: eager world, Sophie is by her asking you that question,

270
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 1: I feel like other people might be in the same boat.

271
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 2: Not no, no, I didn't know for so long too,

272
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 2: like even during I didn't know in it. It's something

273
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 2: I asked my mum, like only a couple of years ago,

274
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 2: and I'm not gonna lie still, I don't really understand it.

275
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 2: But if it's something like Jehovah's Witness believes that Jehovah,

276
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 2: which is God, he they don't believe that he was

277
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 2: actually like and they don't celebrate Easter either, so they

278
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 2: don't believe in Christmas and Easter because they call it

279
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 2: pagan festivals, and they just don't believe that that had

280
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 2: anything to do with God. And then also they believe

281
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 2: something like he directly told people not to celebrate his

282
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 2: birthday or something. So like, I'm not actually completely clear.

283
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 2: Is that what came out that.

284
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 1: It was along those We're probably going to have some

285
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: Jehovah's Witness contact. I was telling unswers, Well, one of

286
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: my friends is a Jehovah switching Oh yeah, one of

287
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 1: my work colleagues. So it's actually good to know because

288
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: I wasn't actually sure either. It does actually remind me.

289
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 1: I was watching your for a bit of research, watching

290
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 1: your Christmas flog of the first time you put up

291
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: your Christmas tree with Tim, and I loved your conversation

292
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: in the car about hang on, why do you even

293
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 1: put a Christmas tree up? And like, to be honest,

294
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 1: I was watching it and thinking, hang on, why did

295
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: we put up?

296
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 2: I know it is interesting because I used to ask

297
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 2: my mom, like when we were to have this witness,

298
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 2: like why were people doing these traditions and whatnot? And

299
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 2: that's kind of the answer I got was just like

300
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 2: these like weird things that didn't, you know, make a

301
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 2: change to me because we didn't have those.

302
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: Traditions we're talking about sort of weird traditions. I'd love

303
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: to know what your mum told you about Santa Claus,

304
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 1: because did you think that he was real or what

305
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: did you think? But who did you think he was? Really?

306
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 2: Yes, so straight off the bat, I was told he

307
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 2: wasn't real. Oh, I know, this is what I'm talking about.

308
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 2: I never had a Christmas where I thought Santa was real,

309
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 2: where I thought I was getting presents like, nothing like that.

310
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 2: And most people, like they feel a bit sad for

311
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 2: me because I you know, never had it. I don't

312
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 2: know the alternative, but yeah, so I was just told

313
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 2: from a young age that you know, other kids believe

314
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 2: in Santa, and so you know, Mum said, you know,

315
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 2: don't say anything to other kids, but he's not real

316
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 2: and it's just something they do, really and that who

317
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 2: brings the presents.

318
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: And I was like, okay, so did you did you

319
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: actually follow your mom and did you not tell kids

320
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: or were you kind of that girl at school that

321
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: was like, oh, he's not real. Guys, Like, why was up?

322
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 2: Honestly, like, I can't even remember, but I would not

323
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 2: be surprised if I did that, because that just like

324
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 2: sounds like me being a little bit che kid for sure.

325
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: So how did you actually spend Christmas Day? Was that

326
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: the day you did get or your present that you

327
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: were talking about, or did you just have a chilled

328
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: out day with your family?

329
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 2: Just a chill day. So we always used to see family,

330
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 2: and still like if we had extended family who were

331
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 2: all together, we would always go over and see them

332
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 2: and you know, have the Christmas food and do the

333
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 2: family side of things. But it's just like on Christmas morning,

334
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 2: there was no tree, there was no presence or anything

335
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 2: like that. So I was still included in a lot

336
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 2: of Christmas traditions through other families. And I do remember

337
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 2: just spending it like almost just like it being family time,

338
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 2: like a family get together. That's all I kind of

339
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 2: remember of those times. But we never used to get

340
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 2: presents on Christmas Day. It was always like before or after.

341
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: Did you ever watch any Christmas movies and think like, oh,

342
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: I wish I could be celebrating this.

343
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no, don't get me wrong. I was like,

344
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 2: and we say this, but I'm a sibling of three

345
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 2: older brothers, so four kids, and we always say to mom,

346
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 2: we're like you deprived. Us gets really upset. But one

347
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 2: hundred percent I was that kid who was like, Mom,

348
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 2: I want to celebrate Christmas like I always you know,

349
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,679
Speaker 2: like imagine being a kid and not celebrating Christmas. Of

350
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 2: course I wanted to, but I guess like I kind

351
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,879
Speaker 2: of just didn't think too much about it. But I still,

352
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 2: you know, watched all the movies and watched The Grinch

353
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 2: and all that sort of thing. But it is just

354
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 2: like I'm I'm missing a bit of that kind of

355
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,199
Speaker 2: tradition and connection, and it is something like me and

356
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 2: Tim spoke about that when we had kids, that we

357
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 2: would start our own traditions and almost like this clean

358
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,199
Speaker 2: slate where it's like, well we get to, you know,

359
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 2: do all our traditions ourselves and make it up. And

360
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 2: so I really enjoyed that idea.

361
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, do you have a friend that

362
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: has become a Christian mentor, because I think we'd wanting

363
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 1: to volunteer ourselves because we love to help with Christmas cheers,

364
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: spreading it, being Christmas obsessed people. So if you do

365
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: ever need some ideas of some traditions, you know who

366
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: to come to.

367
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 2: So, no, I don't have a Christmas event, I would

368
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 2: love that. I'm not gonna lie like I would love

369
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 2: to hear from you guys. It's like it's for obvious

370
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 2: reasons why I don't get it, But I don't get

371
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 2: the Christmas cheer and the Christmas spirit and all that

372
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 2: sort of thing, like can you talk to.

373
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: Me, Gosh, don't worry, it's not just you, because like

374
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: my boyfriend, he's been celebrating Christmas like since he was born,

375
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 1: but he still doesn't get it, Like he doesn't get

376
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 1: why Sophie Amy and I just get so excited.

377
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:41,679
Speaker 2: I don't know.

378
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 1: For me, it's like this feeling that you get and

379
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 1: like even just different things evoke different memories, like the

380
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 1: smell of the Christmas tree, and for me, it's just

381
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 1: this feeling. You can't explain what about you. So it

382
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 1: was really our grandma who made it so special, Like

383
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 1: everything was a tradition. So we'd always go out with

384
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 1: our dad and get a real Christmas tree, then we'd

385
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 1: go and drop one off to our grandma help them decorate.

386
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:05,360
Speaker 1: I think it was just that end of the year

387
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 1: when everything exciting was happening and family time. It was

388
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 1: just a magical time where there were so many different

389
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 1: activities on and I suppose we were all big believers

390
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 1: in Father Christmas, so I think the fact that there

391
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,679
Speaker 1: was this magical man sending presents and you know, you

392
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: just had the best day. But you know what, I

393
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 1: don't think it was so much the presence that was

394
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 1: always just like we loved when our dad would put

395
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 1: Christmas lights up or yeah, I do think it maybe

396
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:29,679
Speaker 1: is that tradition based and it was the end of

397
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 1: the year school holiday, and so you can see it

398
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: would be so hard for you because if you don't

399
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 1: have those traditions to begin with, and you don't have

400
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: those memories to come back. So what Georgie and Tim

401
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: are going to have to do is they're going to

402
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 1: have to start getting a real Christmas tree to familiarize

403
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: yourself with the seen. You're going to have to start

404
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 1: putting Christmas lights up.

405
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:47,919
Speaker 2: You've got to.

406
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,439
Speaker 1: Find someone in your neighborhood to have a competition against

407
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: as well, because you've got to have the best Christmas

408
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: lights and the best Christmas tree.

409
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh well, I am perfect perfect.

410
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 1: So now that you do celebrate Christmas, what does your

411
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: typical Christmas Day look like?

412
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 2: So it was only last year, and I do remember

413
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 2: I put a vlogout about this, So it was only

414
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 2: last year. And also because when after like you know,

415
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 2: when you're fourteen, you're kind of you're over the kind

416
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 2: of childhood stage. So and all my brothers are older.

417
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,719
Speaker 2: So when we were fourteen and we stopped being Jehovah's witness,

418
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 2: there was kind of no point to start Christmas traditions

419
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 2: because I believe it's kind of more like you grow

420
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 2: up doing it. So we just never got a tree

421
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 2: or anything like that. And then when we moved out

422
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 2: of home, like to be completely honest, like I was

423
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 2: in university and we just meant him never thought to

424
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 2: do it because it just seemed like it costs money.

425
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 2: It does, do you know. We were saving for our

426
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 2: first house or we were living in a little apartment

427
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 2: with like other people, and so we just we never

428
00:20:55,760 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 2: did the Christmas thing. And then we recently bought a

429
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 2: house and it's like, you know, it feels like our

430
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 2: family house, and me and Tim were like, let's do

431
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 2: the Christmas thing. And we had decided that Christmas was

432
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 2: going to be at our house for the first time,

433
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 2: and so we were like, let's buy Christmas tree, like,

434
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,679
Speaker 2: let's do it all properly. So it was only last

435
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 2: year and it was the first time we bought a

436
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 2: Christmas tree. We decorated. I think it was on like

437
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 2: the first of December. I think we did it, or

438
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 2: it was the Sunday before the first or whatever. And

439
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 2: so we did that and we did a tree and

440
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 2: that was really fun, Like I really enjoyed that, and

441
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 2: I cannot wait to do that with my kids, and

442
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 2: I definitely want to do I've seen people do this

443
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 2: thing where each year the kids like pick out their

444
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 2: own ornament and they get to put like a new

445
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 2: ornament on the tree per year, so that's something little

446
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,920
Speaker 2: that I want to do. And then on Christmas Day

447
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 2: we have always just you know, in saying that, like

448
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 2: when you guys were talking about the Christmas spirits, I

449
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 2: do get it from the family side. I'm My family's

450
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 2: very family orientated and I really I love that aspect.

451
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 2: So it's definitely just like every single Christmas, we usually

452
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 2: do breakfast with my family and then lunch with Tim's family,

453
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 2: all together, good food, and you know, dress up the

454
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 2: house and you get dressed up and you see everyone,

455
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 2: you have some drinks, and yeah, I definitely get it,

456
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 2: and it is a really nice day and I'm definitely

457
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 2: excited to like have more traditions in the future. That's

458
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 2: kind of it so far.

459
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,360
Speaker 1: But oh that sounds perfect. And I've got to say

460
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 1: your tree looked amazing last year. I loved the white

461
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 1: decorations that looked very classy. So you're you're definitely doing

462
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 1: very well. You get out to approval. Can I make

463
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 1: a suggestion for you though, if you are looking for

464
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,719
Speaker 1: a tradition something I've been doing. I don't know if

465
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,640
Speaker 1: you've seen them, but at Maya. They and also online

466
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:58,439
Speaker 1: they sell the Limax Christmas like little villages, so you

467
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 1: can buy little houses. I've got what is it called,

468
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 1: we had a big fight, I've got a candy shop

469
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 1: and so it's got little gingerbread men who were making

470
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 1: candy for children. And there's obviously some classier ones as well,

471
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: but I could see that going quite well, like the tradition,

472
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 1: you buy one each year and slowly grow the Christmas stales.

473
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 1: They fout garish, but they're actually really really like lovely looking.

474
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 2: No. I like the sound of that. Like I like

475
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 2: the sound of like also adding to it, and that's

476
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 2: what we kind of said, like we're not going to

477
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:32,360
Speaker 2: just like go balls to the walls start and kind

478
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 2: of slowly add every single Yeah, so yeah, thank you.

479
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 2: I definitely I'll look at it. And also, do you

480
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,160
Speaker 2: guys do like that elf thing?

481
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 1: Elf on a shelf? See, that's kind of too new

482
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 1: for us. I feel we tried, which we're supposed to

483
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 1: be doing it this year. That's he just reminded me.

484
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 1: We bought a little one and we were going to

485
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 1: put it in different places. We'll start doing that in December.

486
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,400
Speaker 1: I feel like that's a good one though for kids,

487
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 1: because they seem to really get hooked on the elf

488
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 1: on the shelf. But yeah, I don't think it was

489
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,200
Speaker 1: a thing when we were younger. One of our friends

490
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: he did one for his kids, and the funniest scene

491
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 1: he set the elf up up in was with a

492
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 1: whole bunch of Barbie dolls. So he made it look

493
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 1: like he'd had this kind of wild night with like

494
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:13,680
Speaker 1: ten Barbie dolls, so just so really appropriate for his children.

495
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:18,880
Speaker 2: He loved it. That'sfinitely something I would do well.

496
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 1: Moving onto Christmas food, and I did see a vlog

497
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,400
Speaker 1: from a little a few years ago where you spoke

498
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 1: about sort of anxiety people have about eating a lot

499
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: of food around the Christmas time. Do you have any

500
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,359
Speaker 1: advice that people can follow if they are feeling like that.

501
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 2: So I come from a background of I guess you

502
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 2: could have you would call me like a fitness influencer.

503
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 2: And I come from a background of being very hardcore

504
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 2: with dieting and wanting to look a certain way. So

505
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 2: I remember having a lot of anxiety around you know,

506
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:57,439
Speaker 2: even just family get togethers and then Christmas time, and

507
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 2: it is something like I personally have worked through and

508
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:05,159
Speaker 2: I'm now an intuitive eater, so I don't kind of

509
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,880
Speaker 2: worry about that sort of thing. But if you are

510
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,119
Speaker 2: someone who does get anxious around food, I think the

511
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 2: first thing is just like realizing that it's so important.

512
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 2: Like food isn't just to feed your body, but you know,

513
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 2: with your family and that sort of environment, it's really

514
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 2: important to see it for what it is, which is

515
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,639
Speaker 2: it's family orientated. It's nothing, you know, really to do

516
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 2: the food. And I used to sometimes get a bit

517
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:36,919
Speaker 2: lost in the of the food rather than the bigger

518
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,640
Speaker 2: picture of I'm spending time with my family. So that's

519
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 2: kind of like just something to think about. And also

520
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:47,879
Speaker 2: just it's really important, like don't try like if you

521
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 2: have a big Christmas meal, like don't try and out

522
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 2: exercise that or anything like literally just enjoy it, like

523
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,239
Speaker 2: enjoy it and be like that was delicious. You know,

524
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 2: that was so well deserves. Like you said, Christmas time

525
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 2: is like it's a winding down of the year, which

526
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 2: and bloody twenty twenty has been. It's been a hard year,

527
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 2: hasn't it. And so it's like give yourself grace, be

528
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,640
Speaker 2: klind to yourself, don't even don't even think that way,

529
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:19,199
Speaker 2: don't over exercise. And then it's just simple things like

530
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 2: if you are going to a family something and you

531
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,399
Speaker 2: you know, you don't necessarily like the food or the

532
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 2: way they cook it is bring a dish that you

533
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,199
Speaker 2: like that you know is cooked in the way that

534
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 2: you like it, or you know a certain salad you like,

535
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 2: or you know, something like that. Also like don't do

536
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 2: the whole you know, skipping breakfast, not eating so you

537
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 2: can eat a bigger lunch, and something like that, like no,

538
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 2: just eat normal, enjoy your Christmas food is meant to

539
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:56,439
Speaker 2: be enjoyed. It's a couple of days a year, and

540
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 2: I think it's really important to see it for what

541
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:02,679
Speaker 2: it is, which it's you know, it's just beautiful, beautiful celebration,

542
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,439
Speaker 2: rather than getting anxious about what you're eating.

543
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 1: Well, I know, I've been trying to watch what I

544
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: eat and I'm just trying to find healthy alternatives to things.

545
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 1: And I've saw your amazing business Naked Harvest. You've got

546
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 1: a chocolate moon milk that looks like that's just Christmas

547
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 1: all over it. Amy ran in to tell me She's like,

548
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: it's got magnesium in and apparently Amy's obsessed with magnesium

549
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 1: at the moment. Well, sometimes you need a bit of

550
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 1: magnesium to get to sleep, don't you, guys.

551
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:32,800

00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, magnesium is so important, especially what you said for sleep.

Speaker 2: So yeah, sorry. Moon milk is. It's a product from

Speaker 2: like that. I'm going to leave you feeling groggy. But

572
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 2: especially I feel like you girls might be able to relate.

573
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 2: But I have a very busy mind, so you know,

574
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 2: even if I shut off work at five pm, I'm

575
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 2: still kind of, you know, thinking about different things. I

576
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 2: have a couple of moonmilk. I have it hot, I

577
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 2: have it with full cream milk, and I love it. It

578
00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:00,080
Speaker 2: is so chocolate y, it's vegan. It's really good. But

579
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 2: if you think about, you know, us always being on

580
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 2: fight or flight with you know, our alarms and our

581
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 2: phone screens and all that sort of thing, it just

582
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 2: puts your body in this really nice state where it's like, okay,

583
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 2: it's sleep time, it's relaxed time. I even really enjoy

584
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 2: it in the afternoon, a three pm sort of thing.

585
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 2: And yeah, that would be a really good hot chocolate alternative.

586
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 2: It is, like I can honestly say, it's delicious. I'll

587
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 2: have to send some to you, right.

588
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that'd be amazing because I can just

589
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 1: imagine sitting down and watching Elf and having some Moon

590
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 1: milk like that just sounds well. It's such a cute

591
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 1: name I can just imagine, like this time next year,

592
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 1: I'm going to open up Amy's pantry and She's just

593
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 1: gonna have like twenty boxes. Amy's just obsessed with supplements

594
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 1: and health at the moment in a very good way.

595
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 1: Like yeah, shame.

596
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 2: It's really funny because yeah, it's our best seller and

597
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 2: it often gets sold out, and then we have a

598
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 2: couple of weeks before we can get it in because

599
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 2: we're having some issues with shipping in COVID like everyone,

600
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 2: and I'll have girls DM me and they're like, Georgia,

601
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 2: you need to bring moon milk Moon Milk back because

602
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 2: they literally like I can't sleep again and I'm having

603
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 2: the worst sleep, and so yeah, it's so funny. And

604
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 2: then as soon as it's back in stock, we have

605
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 2: orders where people will literally buy five at a time.

606
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 1: I feel like that's when you can tell you're in

607
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 1: your late twenties to early thirties when you like need

608
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 1: moon milk to go to sleep. It's like me with

609
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 1: my komb butcher. I'm like, I've got to have a

610
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 1: kom butcher when I eat my dinner, Like I'm so boring.

611
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 1: It's your wine, that's like my wine. Yeah, it's very sad.

612
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:40,959
Speaker 2: But oh no, one hundred and ten percent. I know,

613
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 2: getting older, isn't it fun?

614
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 1: Do you have any other than moon milk? Do you

615
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 1: have any go to foods at Christmas time that you

616
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 1: like to eat or that you like to cook.

617
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 2: I'm a big seafood person, so I love the whole

618
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 2: Aussie Christmas where there's a lot of prawns and seafood

619
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 2: and that sort of things. So I don't even know,

620
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 2: like is that Christmas y?

621
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely yeh here I was like, did I just

622
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 1: make this up? Our grandma had oysters, so yeah, that's

623
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 1: and prawns and everyone. Yeah, yeah, and tongue. It's very

624
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 1: very aussy Christmas dinner.

625
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 2: I feel like, yeah, I love that. I love oysters,

626
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 2: I love prawns and all that sort of thing. And

627
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 2: I think I think because for us, like it's Christmas,

628
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 2: it's around a really hot time too, like that sort

629
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 2: of food like almost like kind of like fresh, but

630
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 2: it's hearty, and I love all the different salads. I

631
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 2: love it Christmas how it's like the only time that

632
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 2: you have a pick of like five salads.

633
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 1: That's such a good point. Yeah, we're all vegetarian, so

634
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 1: that's really good for us.

635
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 2: Because it's interesting. Okay, we always.

636
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: Used to have Christmases like because we turned vegetarian when

637
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: we were fourteen, but then up until we were about

638
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 1: twenty four, everyone just always forgot. They're like, oh, you're

639
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 1: vegetarian at Christmas time. We're like, we have been for

640
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 1: the past ten years. Yeah, I'm going on today.

641
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 2: What do you guys love at Christmas time? Being vegetarian?

642
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 1: Well, it's all cats. I eat fish now, so I

643
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: have for the past two years. But we don't eat

644
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 1: fish at Christmas though, No, ye I don't. Well, we

645
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 1: normally eat like our mum and dad usually do a

646
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 1: roast dinner, so there's always heaps of like roast potatoes

647
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 1: and veggies and that sort of thing. Do you do

648
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 1: Yorkshire puddings, k Yeah, Yorkshire puddings so yeah, basically the

649
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 1: roast without the meat, so it's not actually very exciting.

650
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: Gratalads and potato bake and all of that kind of

651
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 1: stuff as well. My grandma would always do lots of salad,

652
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 1: so yeah, there was there was lots of different things

653
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 1: we could have. We've actually been discussing we need to

654
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:40,239
Speaker 1: bring in I want to do a vegetarian lasagna this

655
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 1: Christmas Day.

656
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 2: That's yeah, how good does that say? There's a place

657
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 2: just down the road for me. It's called Govinda's. If

658
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 2: you're over the Gold Coast, definitely hit it up. They

659
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 2: do the best vegetarian that it's a vegetarian store and

660
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 2: they do the best vegetarian lasagna. I'm pretty obsessed. You

661
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 2: guys should definitely do that.

662
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 1: That sounds amazing.

663
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 2: And what's your favorite Christmas dessert?

664
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 1: Oh? God, that's a tricky one because it's controversial, but

665
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 1: I love Christmas pudding. A lot of people don't like it,

666
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:12,719
Speaker 1: but I think it's probably just the traditional thing, like

667
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 1: with hot custard and ice cream. I'm gonna get brownie points.

668
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 1: My favorite is my Mum's Rocky Road because she'll be listening.

669
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 1: She always makes Rocky Road every year. Or a cheesecake Pavlova,

670
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 1: you guys, no, you gotta go pavlova. Do you have

671
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 1: a favorite dessert, Georgie.

672
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 2: I'm with you. Pavlova.

673
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's so fresh and like, I don't know, it doesn't.

674
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 2: Feel crispy and delicious. Yeah, Jim, Jim's favorite is pavlova.

675
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 2: So we always have a big plover with like a

676
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 2: whole heap of fruit on top.

677
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 1: I've gotta say Grandma's trifle as well. I can't believe

678
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 1: I forgot that, but our Grandma made an epic trifle

679
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 1: that was just you didn't really eat it on Christmas Day.

680
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 1: You kind of had it as leftovers, but it was like,

681
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 1: I love jelly, so you get like jelly and custard

682
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 1: and boger cake and really good. I feel like we

683
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 1: could talk about food the whole time, but we'll move

684
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 1: on to gifts now. We've spoken in the past about

685
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 1: the pressure to get your partner the perfect present. What

686
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 1: do you and Tim usually do and do you set

687
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 1: a budget at all or do you just kind of

688
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 1: go go wild?

689
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:13,320
Speaker 2: So it has been a little bit different like previous years.

690
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think back the last couple of years

691
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 2: me and Tim have actually said no Christmas gifts because

692
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 2: we were we were saving for various things. I think

693
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 2: we're saving for our house, so we're like, let's not

694
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:33,799
Speaker 2: do Christmas gifts, and then we I think last year

695
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:37,720
Speaker 2: we did it was like the mark was two hundred dollars,

696
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 2: so we kind of capped it there for each other

697
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 2: and then with family I'm a big gift card person

698
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:48,840
Speaker 2: because I like receiving gift cards and then buying my

699
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 2: own thing, which I know some people they get really like, oh,

700
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,799
Speaker 2: it's so insensitive to give a gift card. But I'm like,

701
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 2: that's the best gift. It really is.

702
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 1: It really is, because anything goes spend it in the same.

703
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 2: Well, that's I'm a big Boxing Day sale girl, so

704
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 2: I'm like perfect. Yeah. So we usually it's around the

705
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 2: two hundred dollar mark for each other, but in previous

706
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 2: years we have just said I'm not gonna lie. I'm

707
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:17,400
Speaker 2: totally that girlfriend who was like, we're not doing Christmas

708
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 2: presents this year. We're saving. And then on Christmas Day

709
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 2: when Tim actually didn't get me a present, I was like,

710
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 2: are you serious.

711
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 1: See that's my fear because my partner and I have

712
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: just bought a house and we move in on December fourteenth,

713
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 1: and we're like, oh, you know, we're spending so much money,

714
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 1: maybe we shouldn't do Christmas presents. But I'm like, if

715
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,760
Speaker 1: I then don't get something for him, you got to. Yeah,

716
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 1: this is a This is a hint for Tim and

717
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 1: Reese if they listen to this to actually just get

718
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:47,879
Speaker 1: a present. Even if you guys say that, Loce does

719
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 1: not listen to this, so.

720
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 2: A hundred percent, like this is like a PSA to

721
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 2: any boyfriend your girlfriend says, Oh, just don't get me

722
00:35:57,520 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 2: a present, Like we're not doing presents because you're saving

723
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:01,800
Speaker 2: still get.

724
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 1: Can get a candle?

725
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 2: How I remember, like I remember feeling like devastated. Do

726
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:12,479
Speaker 2: you remember it's so confused because he was like, I'm

727
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 2: so confused right now, what is happening?

728
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: Do you remember what you got him? Was it something

729
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 1: pretty amazing? Was it just sort of like a token thing?

730
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, it probably wasn't even that good. I think it

731
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:25,400
Speaker 2: was like just pajamas or something. So I thought you

732
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 2: I was like, I thought you'd get me something small

733
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 2: at least, Actually, I.

734
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 1: Think I don't know if you've seen on Netflix Holiday,

735
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 1: it's a kind of crap Christmas movie that's been brought

736
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:36,759
Speaker 1: out this year. But there's a scene on there.

737
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:37,279
Speaker 2: Watch it.

738
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:38,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, there was a scene on there at the

739
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 1: start of the movie when the girl she got him

740
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 1: like three pairs of car key pants and he didn't

741
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 1: get her anything and she just went off. I'm just

742
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 1: imagining that now.

743
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 2: Literally so funny. But me and Jim had been here

744
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 2: for like nine years, so I felt like it was

745
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:52,800
Speaker 2: more balid.

746
00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 1: Well, because we're going to be getting into the new

747
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 1: year soon. Hope twenty one is a bit better than

748
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,400
Speaker 1: twenty twenty has been. And you are sort of the

749
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:07,799
Speaker 1: guru for goal setting. We'd love to hear what your

750
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 1: advice is for people who are setting goals for next year.

751
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:16,279
Speaker 2: A guru for goal setting, I love so I'm a

752
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 2: huge I don't know if you guys have picked this up,

753
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 2: but I'm a huge control freak, a huge planner, and

754
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:26,439
Speaker 2: I love writing goals. I love, you know, planning things.

755
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 2: And I think at the start of the year, it's

756
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 2: just got this like fresh energy, a shift in energy.

757
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 2: And I'm really really hoping, like I think twenty twenty

758
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 2: was different for us. You know, it started with the

759
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 2: fires and then it was COVID A lot was happening,

760
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 2: so we never really got those like new year vibes.

761
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 2: But I'm really hoping twenty twenty one is different, and

762
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:53,319
Speaker 2: it does feel a bit like sort of fresh. I

763
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:55,799
Speaker 2: guess a big thing for goals, Like I have this

764
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 2: whole goal planning strategy and I won't get like two

765
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 2: into it. It's a bit crazy. I've fit in depth,

766
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 2: but I think you just need to look at it

767
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:09,839
Speaker 2: and you need to really think of what is your intention.

768
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 2: So I don't like to have this whole list of

769
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:17,279
Speaker 2: you know, like nine random things or a lot going on.

770
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 2: I really try and sit down, and I'm someone who likes,

771
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:25,839
Speaker 2: you know, meditating and journaling and being intuitive in how

772
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 2: I'm feeling. And so it's kind of like if you

773
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:32,760
Speaker 2: actually sit down and you're like, what is my actual

774
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 2: intention for the next couple of months. Am I focusing on,

775
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 2: you know, whether you have a business, Am I focusing

776
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:44,359
Speaker 2: on my health? Am I focusing on personal relationships? Like,

777
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 2: really dig deep into what's important for you, because I

778
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 2: think it's so easy for it to be the new

779
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 2: year and you to just go, oh, I want to

780
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:57,359
Speaker 2: you know, lose ten kilos or run a marathon and

781
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 2: do all these random things that's really not you know,

782
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 2: heart based for you. But it's kind of just what

783
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:06,319
Speaker 2: people do on the New Year. And so I'm not

784
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 2: really interested in that sort of thing. I'm very interested

785
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 2: in coming things. And really I really talk about this

786
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 2: concept of like having these heart desires of something that

787
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 2: you really want to do and listening to that and yeah,

788
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 2: like I said, like coming from an intention. So even

789
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:27,400
Speaker 2: if it's like like, for example, me, I went through

790
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 2: a surgery where I had my breast implants removed because

791
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:35,759
Speaker 2: I've been having health issues with them. And so my

792
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 2: intention for the new year is to really just focus

793
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 2: on getting back to feeling myself and health and like

794
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 2: not you know, to run a marathon or lose weight

795
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:51,319
Speaker 2: or anything like that. So looking at from a perspective

796
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 2: and like I've already, I like to also have words

797
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 2: at the start of the year. So for me, my

798
00:39:57,160 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 2: three words for twenty twenty one is health, healing, and happiness.

799
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 2: And it just so happens that they're all hate. Instead

800
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:13,319
Speaker 2: of going and it being very specific, I like to

801
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 2: come from that, yeah, that heart space and it being

802
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:19,400
Speaker 2: really intentional and it making sense you know, to me

803
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:22,920
Speaker 2: or you guys, and it like really making sense rather

804
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 2: than just having a goal because you know, you think

805
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 2: you have to have a goal, or if it's you know,

806
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 2: what Sally's doing or whatnot.

807
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 1: That's such a good point because sometimes you do feel

808
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 1: compelled to be like, yeah, I'm gonna you know, get

809
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 1: fit this new year, or I mean mine was meant

810
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 1: to be that I'm going to go to bed early.

811
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:43,440
Speaker 1: Actually that has kind of happened. We're all notice, I'm

812
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 1: just reflecting on the year that's been. But one really

813
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:50,359
Speaker 1: positive thing about twenty twenty one is enrollments for your

814
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:52,719
Speaker 1: Rise and Conquer online course open. I know it's been

815
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:55,400
Speaker 1: hugely successful. Can you tell us a little bit about that,

816
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 1: because I think that could be something great that our

817
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:59,879
Speaker 1: listeners could get involved in that will help them sort

818
00:40:59,880 --> 00:41:01,839
Speaker 1: of reach their goals hopefully as well.

819
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:05,439
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, thank you for mentioning that yet. So that's

820
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:09,440
Speaker 2: my Rising Conquer six week online course. It's called the

821
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 2: Rising Conquer Project. And it's funny because it really came

822
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:16,880
Speaker 2: about because I kind of, like I said, I have

823
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:20,759
Speaker 2: my own process with goal setting and achieving things. And

824
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 2: I kind of noticed this because I do have a

825
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:27,839
Speaker 2: background in I was a lawyer and then I left

826
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:32,439
Speaker 2: my corporate job to start my own business and well

827
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 2: a couple of businesses, and then that was you know,

828
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 2: that's a huge step, and I know a lot of

829
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 2: women or people face that. And then there's just been

830
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 2: quite a few big things in my life and I've

831
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 2: had people being like, you know, how do you know

832
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 2: you're ready? How do you know how to go off

833
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:54,279
Speaker 2: and start things? And so I kind of backtracked and

834
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:58,359
Speaker 2: realized before any sort of end, this even was the

835
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:02,920
Speaker 2: same case. Meant recently made a huge change where we

836
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 2: used to live in the city and now we have

837
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:09,360
Speaker 2: moved to the beach and we've kind of really transformed

838
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 2: our lifestyle from like city life to beach life. So

839
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 2: that just has been these various things that have happened

840
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 2: where people like, you know, like how do you do this?

841
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:22,640
Speaker 2: And so I kind of backtracked and realized that I

842
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 2: use this formula every time I want to, and I

843
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 2: call it like up level, but it's more just like

844
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:33,920
Speaker 2: when you have a need and a heart desire to

845
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 2: do something new or change something. And I think we

846
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 2: can all sort of agree it can be so hard

847
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:45,440
Speaker 2: and it can be so daunting, but in reality, honestly,

848
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 2: like it's always our limiting beliefs that are holding us back.

849
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 2: And so throughout this course, the first thing I do

850
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:56,319
Speaker 2: is I teach you this formula, which this kind of

851
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:59,799
Speaker 2: six step formula that I do before anything big, and

852
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 2: then I also go through these things like limiting beliefs,

853
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 2: and I sort of disarm them and we work through

854
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 2: there's workbooks and whatnot, and basically I help women kind

855
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 2: of just step up and up level to wherever they

856
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:19,520
Speaker 2: want to go. It is kind of broad because you know,

857
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 2: some people take the course and they start a new business,

858
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:26,320
Speaker 2: or just some people like I recently had a girl

859
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:29,600
Speaker 2: send me an amazing email and she was just a

860
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:32,440
Speaker 2: new mum and she said the course helped her so

861
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:36,720
Speaker 2: much just to find herself again, like just to find

862
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:40,480
Speaker 2: that sense and clarity of who she was. And so

863
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:43,800
Speaker 2: it's just, yeah, it's a formula where you can up level,

864
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:46,400
Speaker 2: you can try something new, you can step out of

865
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:48,920
Speaker 2: your comfort zone, and we do it with a group,

866
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 2: so it is so supportive and oh my god, the

867
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:56,800
Speaker 2: energy in this group is just it's yeah, it's contagious

868
00:43:56,880 --> 00:44:00,800
Speaker 2: and it's electric, and it's it's really amazing. It's completely

869
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:04,239
Speaker 2: my passion projects. So I'm really excited. We will be

870
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:10,240
Speaker 2: doing an enrollment probably January or February. I haven't got

871
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:13,799
Speaker 2: complete details yet, but definitely coming in twenty twenty one.

872
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 2: And yeah, we've done two rounds already and just had

873
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:20,640
Speaker 2: the most amazing testimonials and reviews, So that's kind of

874
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:22,879
Speaker 2: definitely what I'm focusing on. For the new year.

875
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 1: Well that's so exciting. Well, thank you so much for

877
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:29,880
Speaker 1: whole time. I felt so at zen when you were talking.

878
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:32,359
Speaker 1: Then I was like, yes, just taking everything. I felt

879

880
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:36,960
Speaker 1: I know, I'm not so motivated after hearing your talk.

881
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 2: Let's just say so. There's like videos for each module

882
00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 2: and I talk for like two hours, So I do it.

883
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:48,360

Speaker 2: is a chatter. She loves to chat. So I appreciate

885
