0:00:04.160 --> 0:00:06.600
<v Speaker 1>year to crank Mariah carry in the car and begin

<v Speaker 1>your Christmas shopping. Our names are Amy Kate and Sophie Torba.

<v Speaker 1>We're identical triplets and during the festive season, we have

0:00:13.840 --> 0:00:17.159
<v Speaker 1>an identical opinion Christmas is the most wonderful time of

0:00:17.200 --> 0:00:20.919
<v Speaker 1>the year. In this special series, we're discussing all things

0:00:21.000 --> 0:00:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Christmas with help from some influential Australians.

0:00:24.520 --> 0:00:27.600
<v Speaker 2>For you Glan cal call you go Glan cl Clone.

0:00:28.160 --> 0:00:30.880
<v Speaker 2>And when Santa squeezes fat white ass down that Jimmy Day,

0:00:31.280 --> 0:00:33.680
<v Speaker 2>He's gonna find the jolliest bunch of assholes this side

0:00:33.720 --> 0:00:34.360
<v Speaker 2>of the nuthouse.

0:00:38.520 --> 0:00:42.320
<v Speaker 1>Hello and welcome to episode four of A Very Outspoken Christmas. Today,

0:00:42.320 --> 0:00:45.120
<v Speaker 1>we are so excited to be joined by influencer and

0:00:45.200 --> 0:00:48.280
<v Speaker 1>businesswoman at Georgie Stevenson. We really wanted to have Georgie

0:00:48.280 --> 0:00:50.080
<v Speaker 1>on the show because we thought it was important to

0:00:50.120 --> 0:00:52.239
<v Speaker 1>share the story of someone who hasn't grown up with

0:00:52.280 --> 0:00:54.920
<v Speaker 1>a traditional Christmas. But before we get into the chat

0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:58.560
<v Speaker 1>with Georgie, Sophie, you've got some really exciting news regarding

0:00:58.600 --> 0:01:01.000
<v Speaker 1>your tree. What's a bit of a shit gameful announcement.

0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:04.160
<v Speaker 1>I feel I did succumb to temptation and I did

0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:06.639
<v Speaker 1>buy a bow some Hill Christmas tree in the early

0:01:06.720 --> 0:01:10.280
<v Speaker 1>Black Friday sales. I love it because Kate and I

0:01:10.280 --> 0:01:13.240
<v Speaker 1>have literally been telling everybody about the purchase because it

0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:15.720
<v Speaker 1>was a rather expensive one. It was so funny. I

0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:17.840
<v Speaker 1>was at Dale's Poppy's house the other day and I

0:01:17.840 --> 0:01:20.600
<v Speaker 1>showed him your Christmas tree. He was very, very impressed,

0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:23.240
<v Speaker 1>and Dale decided to ask him how much he thought

0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:25.880
<v Speaker 1>it was. He sweetly replied that he thought it was

0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:28.560
<v Speaker 1>one hundred dollars, but he wouldn't pay that much for it.

0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:31.840
<v Speaker 1>Can I just say I don't spend a lot of

0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:34.880
<v Speaker 1>money during the year. I would say I don't drink,

0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:38.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't go out on crazy nights out. I try

0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:39.880
<v Speaker 1>and limit the amount of clothes. I've been very good

0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:41.560
<v Speaker 1>this year. I've been very frugal, So this is my

0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:44.320
<v Speaker 1>one splurge of the year. I've loved it. Next day,

0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:47.720
<v Speaker 1>you've been frugal, Yeah, like you. You had to pay

0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:49.920
<v Speaker 1>double rent this year. It's not been a cheap year

0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:52.080
<v Speaker 1>for you. But I'm not Look, I'm not shaming you

0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:54.840
<v Speaker 1>over the Christmas tree investment. It's an investment I'm going

0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:57.000
<v Speaker 1>to have this thing for ten years. I paid one

0:01:57.040 --> 0:01:59.120
<v Speaker 1>hundred and forty dollars for her real Christmas tree, which

0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:01.120
<v Speaker 1>is going to go in the in a few weeks time.

0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:03.360
<v Speaker 1>I didn't even feel bad about that. Can I just say,

0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:05.880
<v Speaker 1>I feel like there's a new trend that's starting. People

0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:09.280
<v Speaker 1>talk about people shaming each other for different things. Christmas

0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:11.679
<v Speaker 1>tree shaming is a real thing at the moment. What

0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:13.400
<v Speaker 1>do you mean if your Christmas tree is shit or

0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:15.720
<v Speaker 1>if your Christmas tree is too expensive? No, I feel like,

0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:18.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, me spending one hundred and forty dollars in

0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:20.440
<v Speaker 1>a real Christmas tree, I feel like people will shame

0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:22.160
<v Speaker 1>me because they think that that's too much. And the

0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:25.320
<v Speaker 1>same with your balsome heel tree. I actually I'm very

0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:28.600
<v Speaker 1>disappointed because I have told everyone don't go and tell anyone,

0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:31.280
<v Speaker 1>like Brandon is on strict instructions not to tell his

0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:33.480
<v Speaker 1>parents how much the tree was. And it's funny because

0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:35.960
<v Speaker 1>when people don't know, they're very complimentary to us. Oh

0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:38.239
<v Speaker 1>it's a beautiful tree. I'm taken back how good it

0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:40.840
<v Speaker 1>bloody looks. And I was very jealous when we're putting

0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:42.960
<v Speaker 1>it up, it's so soft like this is not an

0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:46.480
<v Speaker 1>ad for about some hills. The most glorious thing was

0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:49.680
<v Speaker 1>it actually came with gloves in the box, two sets

0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:52.000
<v Speaker 1>of gloves. It's an absolute wank fast. You put these

0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:54.840
<v Speaker 1>gloves on so you can fan the branches out, and

0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:57.160
<v Speaker 1>oh my god. Like I hate our mum and Dad's

0:02:57.160 --> 0:02:58.919
<v Speaker 1>fake tree like it is. I've talked about it before.

0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:02.799
<v Speaker 1>It is painful put decorations on. This one was exquisite.

0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:05.160
<v Speaker 1>It's so funny because tonight we're actually going to mum

0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:07.080
<v Speaker 1>and Dad's house to put their Christmas tree up, and

0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:09.639
<v Speaker 1>Dad was so cute. He sent through a photo of

0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:12.560
<v Speaker 1>the tree ready to go, and it looks so shit

0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:15.760
<v Speaker 1>in comparison to Sophie's tree. I've got to say, Sophie,

0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:18.600
<v Speaker 1>after seeing your tree, I did feel very tempted to

0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:21.040
<v Speaker 1>purchase one, but that has all changed since Kate and

0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:22.840
<v Speaker 1>I went down to the Christmas tree farm with our

0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:26.240
<v Speaker 1>mum over the weekend. The smell when you walked in

0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:28.760
<v Speaker 1>it was just Christmas. I think the best bit was

0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:31.080
<v Speaker 1>we realized it was the first time we'd ever actually

0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:33.840
<v Speaker 1>gone to get a tree with mum because she normally

0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:35.880
<v Speaker 1>stays at home and Dad is the one that takes

0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:37.720
<v Speaker 1>us to go get the Christmas tree, and she was

0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:40.960
<v Speaker 1>being so cute. We drove in and she was like, wow,

0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:43.960
<v Speaker 1>it smells so beautiful. And then when we got the

0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:45.960
<v Speaker 1>tree and we were driving home, she's like, gosh, that

0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:48.720
<v Speaker 1>was just so easy. I have to admit I was

0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:50.920
<v Speaker 1>feeling a little bit sad when I saw that Steph

0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:53.560
<v Speaker 1>Claire Smith and Kira Maguire both had real trees. I

0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:55.400
<v Speaker 1>had a bit of envy going on and thought, have

0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:58.000
<v Speaker 1>I made the right decision. What I loved about Steph

0:03:58.120 --> 0:03:59.840
<v Speaker 1>was that it was so boogie because she got the

0:03:59.840 --> 0:04:02.560
<v Speaker 1>tree delivered to her doorstep on December first, and it

0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:04.560
<v Speaker 1>was almost as if she'd forgotten that it was meant

0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:06.480
<v Speaker 1>to be arriving. Yeah, but you can do that. You

0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:08.440
<v Speaker 1>can actually pay them. I think it's fifty dollars and

0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:10.240
<v Speaker 1>they drop it off and twenty five dollars and they

0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:12.440
<v Speaker 1>also take it away. So there's really no excuse not

0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:13.800
<v Speaker 1>to have a real tree. I have to say that

0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:15.840
<v Speaker 1>I might be slightly biased, but I do feel like

0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:19.240
<v Speaker 1>my Christmas tree holds the decorations. But oh definitely, it

0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:21.279
<v Speaker 1>actually looks amazing. I do love the inm built lights.

0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:22.680
<v Speaker 1>I think that's the best part of it. I really

0:04:22.680 --> 0:04:24.760
<v Speaker 1>feel like this year we've got to have a competition

0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:27.640
<v Speaker 1>because now that we've all got slightly different trees, I

0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:31.040
<v Speaker 1>feel like it makes it more interesting. So Kate's not

0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:33.920
<v Speaker 1>getting her tree until the fourteenth of December, it might

0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:36.440
<v Speaker 1>even be like the fifteenth or sixteenth. Well, I think

0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:38.960
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna have to take drastic measures into our own hands,

0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:41.000
<v Speaker 1>and it's gonna have to be a competition between Amy

0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:42.640
<v Speaker 1>and my tree. No, I want to be involved. Why

0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:45.440
<v Speaker 1>can't the competition be later? It needs to be now.

0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:48.440
<v Speaker 1>Unfortunately you've just missed out. Well maybe you could be

0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:51.040
<v Speaker 1>between Amy and mine and then the winner takes on

0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:53.599
<v Speaker 1>your tree. Look, I think this is unfair that I

0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:55.760
<v Speaker 1>can't be involved in the competition. Well, you don't have

0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:59.280
<v Speaker 1>a tree. Talking about competitions, did anyone see that photo

0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:02.520
<v Speaker 1>of l Darby and her partner con and they're gorgeous puppies.

0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:05.400
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, this photo is an epic Christmas photo.

0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:07.159
<v Speaker 1>This is one that could go on a Christmas card

0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:09.080
<v Speaker 1>and I really want to replicate it. Yeah, well, we're

0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:11.880
<v Speaker 1>going to put the photo in our Facebook community group

0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:14.520
<v Speaker 1>and also probably on our Instagram account. Have a look

0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:17.240
<v Speaker 1>at it. Because we're going to try and reconstruct it

0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:19.120
<v Speaker 1>and we want you to vote who did it best.

0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:22.200
<v Speaker 1>Well's basically them in Christmas theme pajamas in front of

0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:25.600
<v Speaker 1>the tree, the dog sitting perfectly. I think I had

0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:28.640
<v Speaker 1>this in the bag because Archie poses like no other

0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:31.000
<v Speaker 1>dog I've ever seen before. Look, I'm not really worried

0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:33.560
<v Speaker 1>about the dogs. I'm more worried about people's boyfriends.

0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:33.720
<v Speaker 2>Now.

0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:35.440
<v Speaker 1>I know Reese is going to kick up a fuss

0:05:35.440 --> 0:05:37.279
<v Speaker 1>if he has to be in the photo. Maybe just

0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:39.920
<v Speaker 1>photoshop his face into it. Can everyone else get into

0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:41.760
<v Speaker 1>it and recreate it with their boyfriends? Because I'd love

0:05:41.800 --> 0:05:44.520
<v Speaker 1>to see other people's boyfriends dragged into this audi. Yes,

0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:46.359
<v Speaker 1>I want to start a thread see who can do

0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:48.920
<v Speaker 1>the best under the Christmas tree photo? Can I ask

0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:51.359
<v Speaker 1>a question? Because they've got their two dogs, so obviously

0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:53.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to include my two cats, Gigi and Bentley.

0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:57.080
<v Speaker 1>Should it also include the bunnies? I've got two bunny rabbits? Mmm,

0:05:57.320 --> 0:05:59.800
<v Speaker 1>that might be a bit challenging. Look, if it's a competition, yes,

0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:02.640
<v Speaker 1>because you're not going to get a shot. Finally, I

0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:05.560
<v Speaker 1>really want to recommend an amazing Christmas podcast that's just

0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:08.880
<v Speaker 1>come out It is Sam Magnan's Christmas Special now. He

0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:12.800
<v Speaker 1>launched the first episode yesterday and it is hilarious and

0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:15.599
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking forward to the three episodes to come for

0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:17.400
<v Speaker 1>anyone who wants to look it up. His podcast is

0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:20.440
<v Speaker 1>called Literally Nobody Cares and it is just hilarious. People

0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:22.480
<v Speaker 1>who actually have a sense of humor, which I feel

0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:24.200
<v Speaker 1>like our listeners do, should go and check it out.

0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:27.400
<v Speaker 2>Well, blake my head? How can I forget and have

0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:30.680

0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:33.680

<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I know it's going to be a very interesting chat.

0:07:03.680 --> 0:07:05.960
<v Speaker 1>But firstly, we just wanted to say we're so sorry

0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:09.720
<v Speaker 1>to hear the really sad news about you're and Tim's miscarriage,

0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:11.640
<v Speaker 1>and we just wanted to say we think it has

0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:14.200
<v Speaker 1>been so amazing of you to shed light on this

0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:16.920
<v Speaker 1>because it's something a lot of women go through. We

0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:18.520
<v Speaker 1>just want to just find out how you're going and

0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:23.080
<v Speaker 1>what the feedback has been from people who have heard

0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:23.800
<v Speaker 1>your story.

0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:29.000
<v Speaker 2>Thank you. I appreciate that it's happened quite recently and

0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:34.200
<v Speaker 2>it has been a very hard time for us, you

0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:37.280
<v Speaker 2>know it, Like I was saying two guys off there,

0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:39.200
<v Speaker 2>it did feel like a bit of a miracle baby

0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:41.760
<v Speaker 2>baby and then for it to be taken away for

0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:48.360
<v Speaker 2>super cruel. But I did speak out about it because

0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:51.440
<v Speaker 2>it is it happens so often, like one in four

0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:56.640
<v Speaker 2>pregnancies and a miscarriage, And like I kind of explained

0:07:56.640 --> 0:07:59.800
<v Speaker 2>on my platform, I'm not just going to show up

0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:03.120
<v Speaker 2>and you know, talk about all my most positive things

0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:07.760
<v Speaker 2>in life and then not share when I have hardships.

0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:12.920
<v Speaker 2>I think it's kind of important to be transparent and

0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:15.880
<v Speaker 2>authentic on that sort of side of things. So I

0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:19.240
<v Speaker 2>did share the news and I had such an overwhelming

0:08:19.320 --> 0:08:24.720
<v Speaker 2>response of just love and support and honestly, like it is,

0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:27.440
<v Speaker 2>it is like a weird not a weird, but it

0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:30.520
<v Speaker 2>is like a taboo, you know subject and is I

0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:32.640
<v Speaker 2>get it, like women who don't want to speak about it,

0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:34.960
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, I get it. It is so sensitive

0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:38.120
<v Speaker 2>and it can feel like you can have these feelings

0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:42.240
<v Speaker 2>of like feeling a bit ashamed, and you know, as women,

0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:45.760
<v Speaker 2>our bodies, that's what they're supposed to do, so when

0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:48.640
<v Speaker 2>you have a miscarriage, it does have this weird sort

0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:53.440
<v Speaker 2>of sense around it. But it was very important to

0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:57.160
<v Speaker 2>me because when I did share, I felt so much

0:08:57.280 --> 0:09:01.040
<v Speaker 2>less alone because you know, I had DMS messages of

0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:04.400
<v Speaker 2>just people telling me their stories and what they went through,

0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:08.440
<v Speaker 2>and quite a few people were like, I really appreciate

0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:10.880
<v Speaker 2>you speaking out about it because I recently had a

0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:14.160
<v Speaker 2>miscarriage and hadn't really told anyone and now I had,

0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:17.280
<v Speaker 2>and I feel so much, you know, support, And I

0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:20.880
<v Speaker 2>think for me, if anything, I like, I wouldn't have

0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:24.560
<v Speaker 2>been able to show up on my social media's and

0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:26.600
<v Speaker 2>I am someone who does show up, you know, on

0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:29.640
<v Speaker 2>Instagram it's every single day, and stories on YouTube it's weekly,

0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:32.840
<v Speaker 2>and I wouldn't have been able to show up without

0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:37.199
<v Speaker 2>you crying and being upset. So I just showed up

0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:41.200
<v Speaker 2>as is, and I think people kind of they just

0:09:41.520 --> 0:09:47.680
<v Speaker 2>they appreciate when you are honest and real, and yeah,

0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:50.679
<v Speaker 2>it's something that happens, and it's really bloody sad and

0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:55.520
<v Speaker 2>it's really hot, and I'm not gonna cry because it's

0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:57.840
<v Speaker 2>all good. I have kind of had a bitter piece

0:09:57.880 --> 0:10:00.000
<v Speaker 2>of it and you know, done a lot of process,

0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:02.720
<v Speaker 2>but yeah, I really I appreciate those thoughts.

0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:05.080
<v Speaker 1>Well, thank you so much for sharing that with us.

0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:07.600
<v Speaker 1>And it makes me feel so sad hearing you're getting upset,

0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:10.040
<v Speaker 1>And I can imagine it would be such a hard

0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:12.440
<v Speaker 1>time because Christmas is meant to be that time where

0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:14.960
<v Speaker 1>everyone's celebrating and being in a happy mood, and to

0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:18.400
<v Speaker 1>find out such devastating news, obviously there's no good time

0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:20.800
<v Speaker 1>to hear that. But I'm just so sorry that you're

0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:22.920
<v Speaker 1>having to go through this, and I really hope you're okay.

0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:26.520
<v Speaker 2>I know, I know, yeah, I do appreciate it. I

0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:28.880
<v Speaker 2>know we're like we had plans to kind of like

0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:30.920
<v Speaker 2>tell our whole family, do a bit of a reveal

0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:34.600
<v Speaker 2>on Christmas Day, and you know, all that sort of thing.

0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:37.959
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, look, it's it's not meant to be and

0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:41.000
<v Speaker 2>it's all going to happen in the perfect timing, but Yeah,

0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:44.200
<v Speaker 2>I really appreciate it, and I'm just sending so much

0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:47.880
<v Speaker 2>love to anyone else going through something similar. It is

0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:51.240
<v Speaker 2>very hard, but yeah we're strong.

0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:54.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's so lovely, and I'm sure a lot of

0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:58.760
<v Speaker 1>people do feel, you know, softble emfitted to hear that.

0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:04.080
<v Speaker 1>Just segueing into Christmas and a lot of people probably

0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:07.960
<v Speaker 1>don't know this, but you've had a very different Christmas

0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:11.000
<v Speaker 1>time growing up being a Jehovah's Witness. What was it

0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:13.880
<v Speaker 1>like growing up and not being able to celebrate Christmas?

0:11:15.000 --> 0:11:19.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so this is quite interesting because a couple of

0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:23.319
<v Speaker 2>Christmases ago, like I think I was blogging on YouTube

0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:26.480
<v Speaker 2>and someone said something about us not having a Christmas tree,

0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:29.880
<v Speaker 2>and I just simply explained, oh, I used to be

0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:32.120
<v Speaker 2>a Jehoah's Witness growing up and we never did the

0:11:32.200 --> 0:11:35.600
<v Speaker 2>Christmas tree thing, so we just kind of have never

0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:39.959
<v Speaker 2>done it. And then I realized how shocked everyone and

0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:44.000
<v Speaker 2>they was like, what, So, yeah, I was a Jehovah's Witness.

0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:48.720
<v Speaker 2>I think I maybe it was around four when and

0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:51.040
<v Speaker 2>it was just my mom, not my dad, so my

0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:55.960
<v Speaker 2>bit my dad was obviously very supportive, and so it

0:11:56.040 --> 0:11:59.640
<v Speaker 2>was around four when my mom started or joined whatever

0:11:59.679 --> 0:12:02.319
<v Speaker 2>your ought to call it. And then we stopped about

0:12:02.440 --> 0:12:04.280
<v Speaker 2>I think maybe I was fourteen, so it was a

0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:09.000
<v Speaker 2>good ten years. It's really interesting because I honestly didn't

0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:14.599
<v Speaker 2>know any better. So I have no memories of a Christmas,

0:12:14.600 --> 0:12:17.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, growing up, or traditions or anything like that.

0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:20.560
<v Speaker 2>So I guess it's the whole what you don't have,

0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:24.280
<v Speaker 2>you don't know. So I never felt like, you know,

0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:26.640
<v Speaker 2>I went without and we did these we had these

0:12:26.720 --> 0:12:29.480
<v Speaker 2>days called present days where we would just get a

0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:35.400
<v Speaker 2>whole bunch of presents, so basically Christmas and quite close

0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:38.920
<v Speaker 2>to you know, whatever days. And because it was just

0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:41.720
<v Speaker 2>my mum, like we weren't, you know, crazy about it

0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:45.120
<v Speaker 2>or anything, and so I yeah, I just kind of

0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:48.960
<v Speaker 2>didn't know any better. But my extended family used to celebrate,

0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:51.480
<v Speaker 2>so we would go to different things, so like I

0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:55.160
<v Speaker 2>knew of Christmas, but it's just like, wasn't something in

0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:56.800
<v Speaker 2>my life. I don't know.

0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:00.640
<v Speaker 1>For those who don't know, because I didn't know this

0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:02.360
<v Speaker 1>until I did a google before we spoke to you.

0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:05.080
<v Speaker 1>But why is it that Jehovah's witness don't celebrate Christmas?

0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:07.839
<v Speaker 1>Because this was actually news to me. That sounds very

0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:11.560
<v Speaker 1>eager world, Sophie is by her asking you that question,

0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:13.880
<v Speaker 1>I feel like other people might be in the same boat.

0:13:13.920 --> 0:13:17.520
<v Speaker 2>Not no, no, I didn't know for so long too,

0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:20.040
<v Speaker 2>like even during I didn't know in it. It's something

0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:22.000
<v Speaker 2>I asked my mum, like only a couple of years ago,

0:13:22.040 --> 0:13:24.880
<v Speaker 2>and I'm not gonna lie still, I don't really understand it.

0:13:25.240 --> 0:13:30.160
<v Speaker 2>But if it's something like Jehovah's Witness believes that Jehovah,

0:13:30.200 --> 0:13:34.840
<v Speaker 2>which is God, he they don't believe that he was

0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:38.040
<v Speaker 2>actually like and they don't celebrate Easter either, so they

0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:41.040
<v Speaker 2>don't believe in Christmas and Easter because they call it

0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:46.120
<v Speaker 2>pagan festivals, and they just don't believe that that had

0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:50.200
<v Speaker 2>anything to do with God. And then also they believe

0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:55.000
<v Speaker 2>something like he directly told people not to celebrate his

0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:59.320
<v Speaker 2>birthday or something. So like, I'm not actually completely clear.

0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:01.240
<v Speaker 2>Is that what came out that.

0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:03.080
<v Speaker 1>It was along those We're probably going to have some

0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:05.520
<v Speaker 1>Jehovah's Witness contact. I was telling unswers, Well, one of

0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:07.640
<v Speaker 1>my friends is a Jehovah switching Oh yeah, one of

0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:10.560
<v Speaker 1>my work colleagues. So it's actually good to know because

0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:13.120
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't actually sure either. It does actually remind me.

0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:15.520
<v Speaker 1>I was watching your for a bit of research, watching

0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:17.840
<v Speaker 1>your Christmas flog of the first time you put up

0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:20.280
<v Speaker 1>your Christmas tree with Tim, and I loved your conversation

0:14:20.400 --> 0:14:22.480
<v Speaker 1>in the car about hang on, why do you even

0:14:22.480 --> 0:14:24.680
<v Speaker 1>put a Christmas tree up? And like, to be honest,

0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:28.440
<v Speaker 1>I was watching it and thinking, hang on, why did

0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:28.880
<v Speaker 1>we put up?

0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:33.080
<v Speaker 2>I know it is interesting because I used to ask

0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:35.520
<v Speaker 2>my mom, like when we were to have this witness,

0:14:35.560 --> 0:14:38.360
<v Speaker 2>like why were people doing these traditions and whatnot? And

0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:40.280
<v Speaker 2>that's kind of the answer I got was just like

0:14:40.400 --> 0:14:44.240
<v Speaker 2>these like weird things that didn't, you know, make a

0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:46.600
<v Speaker 2>change to me because we didn't have those.

0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:50.760
<v Speaker 1>Traditions we're talking about sort of weird traditions. I'd love

0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:53.360
<v Speaker 1>to know what your mum told you about Santa Claus,

0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:55.920
<v Speaker 1>because did you think that he was real or what

0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:58.360
<v Speaker 1>did you think? But who did you think he was? Really?

0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:02.040
<v Speaker 2>Yes, so straight off the bat, I was told he

0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:07.000
<v Speaker 2>wasn't real. Oh, I know, this is what I'm talking about.

0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:10.680
<v Speaker 2>I never had a Christmas where I thought Santa was real,

0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:13.240
<v Speaker 2>where I thought I was getting presents like, nothing like that.

0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:15.680
<v Speaker 2>And most people, like they feel a bit sad for

0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:18.880
<v Speaker 2>me because I you know, never had it. I don't

0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:22.400
<v Speaker 2>know the alternative, but yeah, so I was just told

0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:25.400
<v Speaker 2>from a young age that you know, other kids believe

0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:28.200
<v Speaker 2>in Santa, and so you know, Mum said, you know,

0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:31.240
<v Speaker 2>don't say anything to other kids, but he's not real

0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:35.040
<v Speaker 2>and it's just something they do, really and that who

0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:35.920
<v Speaker 2>brings the presents.

0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:39.080
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, okay, so did you did you

0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:41.640
<v Speaker 1>actually follow your mom and did you not tell kids

0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:43.200
<v Speaker 1>or were you kind of that girl at school that

0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:45.960
<v Speaker 1>was like, oh, he's not real. Guys, Like, why was up?

0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:49.960
<v Speaker 2>Honestly, like, I can't even remember, but I would not

0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:52.120
<v Speaker 2>be surprised if I did that, because that just like

0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:54.680
<v Speaker 2>sounds like me being a little bit che kid for sure.

0:15:55.720 --> 0:15:58.320
<v Speaker 1>So how did you actually spend Christmas Day? Was that

0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:00.360
<v Speaker 1>the day you did get or your present that you

0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:02.680
<v Speaker 1>were talking about, or did you just have a chilled

0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:03.840
<v Speaker 1>out day with your family?

0:16:04.720 --> 0:16:10.240
<v Speaker 2>Just a chill day. So we always used to see family,

0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:14.440
<v Speaker 2>and still like if we had extended family who were

0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:17.080
<v Speaker 2>all together, we would always go over and see them

0:16:17.240 --> 0:16:20.280
<v Speaker 2>and you know, have the Christmas food and do the

0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:24.400
<v Speaker 2>family side of things. But it's just like on Christmas morning,

0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:27.360
<v Speaker 2>there was no tree, there was no presence or anything

0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:29.840
<v Speaker 2>like that. So I was still included in a lot

0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:36.560
<v Speaker 2>of Christmas traditions through other families. And I do remember

0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:39.960
<v Speaker 2>just spending it like almost just like it being family time,

0:16:40.040 --> 0:16:42.520
<v Speaker 2>like a family get together. That's all I kind of

0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:45.160
<v Speaker 2>remember of those times. But we never used to get

0:16:45.240 --> 0:16:48.760
<v Speaker 2>presents on Christmas Day. It was always like before or after.

0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:52.440
<v Speaker 1>Did you ever watch any Christmas movies and think like, oh,

0:16:52.520 --> 0:16:54.040
<v Speaker 1>I wish I could be celebrating this.

0:16:54.680 --> 0:16:57.240
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, no, don't get me wrong. I was like,

0:16:57.480 --> 0:17:02.280
<v Speaker 2>and we say this, but I'm a sibling of three

0:17:02.320 --> 0:17:05.920
<v Speaker 2>older brothers, so four kids, and we always say to mom,

0:17:06.200 --> 0:17:13.399
<v Speaker 2>we're like you deprived. Us gets really upset. But one

0:17:13.480 --> 0:17:15.800
<v Speaker 2>hundred percent I was that kid who was like, Mom,

0:17:15.960 --> 0:17:18.879
<v Speaker 2>I want to celebrate Christmas like I always you know,

0:17:19.000 --> 0:17:21.679
<v Speaker 2>like imagine being a kid and not celebrating Christmas. Of

0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:24.440
<v Speaker 2>course I wanted to, but I guess like I kind

0:17:24.440 --> 0:17:26.879
<v Speaker 2>of just didn't think too much about it. But I still,

0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:29.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, watched all the movies and watched The Grinch

0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:32.840
<v Speaker 2>and all that sort of thing. But it is just

0:17:32.880 --> 0:17:36.600
<v Speaker 2>like I'm I'm missing a bit of that kind of

0:17:36.880 --> 0:17:40.199
<v Speaker 2>tradition and connection, and it is something like me and

0:17:40.240 --> 0:17:43.840
<v Speaker 2>Tim spoke about that when we had kids, that we

0:17:43.920 --> 0:17:47.359
<v Speaker 2>would start our own traditions and almost like this clean

0:17:47.480 --> 0:17:50.199
<v Speaker 2>slate where it's like, well we get to, you know,

0:17:50.560 --> 0:17:53.280
<v Speaker 2>do all our traditions ourselves and make it up. And

0:17:53.320 --> 0:17:56.119
<v Speaker 2>so I really enjoyed that idea.

0:17:56.280 --> 0:17:59.080
<v Speaker 1>I was gonna say, do you have a friend that

0:17:59.119 --> 0:18:01.800
<v Speaker 1>has become a Christian mentor, because I think we'd wanting

0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:05.520
<v Speaker 1>to volunteer ourselves because we love to help with Christmas cheers,

0:18:05.600 --> 0:18:08.600
<v Speaker 1>spreading it, being Christmas obsessed people. So if you do

0:18:08.680 --> 0:18:11.040
<v Speaker 1>ever need some ideas of some traditions, you know who

0:18:11.040 --> 0:18:11.480
<v Speaker 1>to come to.

0:18:13.840 --> 0:18:16.040
<v Speaker 2>So, no, I don't have a Christmas event, I would

0:18:16.080 --> 0:18:18.440
<v Speaker 2>love that. I'm not gonna lie like I would love

0:18:18.480 --> 0:18:22.760
<v Speaker 2>to hear from you guys. It's like it's for obvious

0:18:22.840 --> 0:18:25.960
<v Speaker 2>reasons why I don't get it, But I don't get

0:18:26.040 --> 0:18:28.920
<v Speaker 2>the Christmas cheer and the Christmas spirit and all that

0:18:29.000 --> 0:18:30.440
<v Speaker 2>sort of thing, like can you talk to.

0:18:30.400 --> 0:18:32.760
<v Speaker 1>Me, Gosh, don't worry, it's not just you, because like

0:18:32.840 --> 0:18:36.280
<v Speaker 1>my boyfriend, he's been celebrating Christmas like since he was born,

0:18:36.359 --> 0:18:38.200
<v Speaker 1>but he still doesn't get it, Like he doesn't get

0:18:38.240 --> 0:18:40.960
<v Speaker 1>why Sophie Amy and I just get so excited.

0:18:41.320 --> 0:18:41.679
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

0:18:41.920 --> 0:18:44.760
<v Speaker 1>For me, it's like this feeling that you get and

0:18:45.080 --> 0:18:48.720
<v Speaker 1>like even just different things evoke different memories, like the

0:18:48.840 --> 0:18:51.639
<v Speaker 1>smell of the Christmas tree, and for me, it's just

0:18:51.680 --> 0:18:53.720
<v Speaker 1>this feeling. You can't explain what about you. So it

0:18:53.800 --> 0:18:55.960
<v Speaker 1>was really our grandma who made it so special, Like

0:18:56.040 --> 0:18:58.359
<v Speaker 1>everything was a tradition. So we'd always go out with

0:18:58.400 --> 0:19:00.440
<v Speaker 1>our dad and get a real Christmas tree, then we'd

0:19:00.480 --> 0:19:03.200
<v Speaker 1>go and drop one off to our grandma help them decorate.

0:19:03.640 --> 0:19:05.360
<v Speaker 1>I think it was just that end of the year

0:19:05.400 --> 0:19:09.119
<v Speaker 1>when everything exciting was happening and family time. It was

0:19:09.200 --> 0:19:11.600
<v Speaker 1>just a magical time where there were so many different

0:19:11.640 --> 0:19:14.920
<v Speaker 1>activities on and I suppose we were all big believers

0:19:14.920 --> 0:19:16.960
<v Speaker 1>in Father Christmas, so I think the fact that there

0:19:17.000 --> 0:19:19.679
<v Speaker 1>was this magical man sending presents and you know, you

0:19:19.760 --> 0:19:21.200
<v Speaker 1>just had the best day. But you know what, I

0:19:21.200 --> 0:19:22.920
<v Speaker 1>don't think it was so much the presence that was

0:19:22.960 --> 0:19:25.359
<v Speaker 1>always just like we loved when our dad would put

0:19:25.400 --> 0:19:27.639
<v Speaker 1>Christmas lights up or yeah, I do think it maybe

0:19:27.720 --> 0:19:29.679
<v Speaker 1>is that tradition based and it was the end of

0:19:29.680 --> 0:19:31.440
<v Speaker 1>the year school holiday, and so you can see it

0:19:31.480 --> 0:19:33.280
<v Speaker 1>would be so hard for you because if you don't

0:19:33.320 --> 0:19:35.639
<v Speaker 1>have those traditions to begin with, and you don't have

0:19:35.760 --> 0:19:38.480
<v Speaker 1>those memories to come back. So what Georgie and Tim

0:19:38.520 --> 0:19:39.760
<v Speaker 1>are going to have to do is they're going to

0:19:39.840 --> 0:19:42.480
<v Speaker 1>have to start getting a real Christmas tree to familiarize

0:19:42.480 --> 0:19:44.600
<v Speaker 1>yourself with the seen. You're going to have to start

0:19:44.640 --> 0:19:45.920
<v Speaker 1>putting Christmas lights up.

0:19:47.480 --> 0:19:47.919
<v Speaker 2>You've got to.

0:19:47.920 --> 0:19:50.439
<v Speaker 1>Find someone in your neighborhood to have a competition against

0:19:50.440 --> 0:19:52.280
<v Speaker 1>as well, because you've got to have the best Christmas

0:19:52.359 --> 0:19:53.800
<v Speaker 1>lights and the best Christmas tree.

0:19:54.080 --> 0:19:58.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, oh well, I am perfect perfect.

0:19:59.440 --> 0:20:02.119
<v Speaker 1>So now that you do celebrate Christmas, what does your

0:20:02.160 --> 0:20:03.800
<v Speaker 1>typical Christmas Day look like?

0:20:05.600 --> 0:20:08.960
<v Speaker 2>So it was only last year, and I do remember

0:20:09.160 --> 0:20:11.800
<v Speaker 2>I put a vlogout about this, So it was only

0:20:12.000 --> 0:20:15.760
<v Speaker 2>last year. And also because when after like you know,

0:20:16.119 --> 0:20:18.920
<v Speaker 2>when you're fourteen, you're kind of you're over the kind

0:20:18.920 --> 0:20:21.840
<v Speaker 2>of childhood stage. So and all my brothers are older.

0:20:22.000 --> 0:20:24.719
<v Speaker 2>So when we were fourteen and we stopped being Jehovah's witness,

0:20:25.000 --> 0:20:28.280
<v Speaker 2>there was kind of no point to start Christmas traditions

0:20:28.320 --> 0:20:31.040
<v Speaker 2>because I believe it's kind of more like you grow

0:20:31.119 --> 0:20:33.680
<v Speaker 2>up doing it. So we just never got a tree

0:20:33.880 --> 0:20:36.920
<v Speaker 2>or anything like that. And then when we moved out

0:20:36.920 --> 0:20:40.080
<v Speaker 2>of home, like to be completely honest, like I was

0:20:40.080 --> 0:20:44.000
<v Speaker 2>in university and we just meant him never thought to

0:20:44.000 --> 0:20:45.960
<v Speaker 2>do it because it just seemed like it costs money.

0:20:47.359 --> 0:20:50.040
<v Speaker 2>It does, do you know. We were saving for our

0:20:50.080 --> 0:20:53.200
<v Speaker 2>first house or we were living in a little apartment

0:20:53.320 --> 0:20:55.680
<v Speaker 2>with like other people, and so we just we never

0:20:55.760 --> 0:21:00.760
<v Speaker 2>did the Christmas thing. And then we recently bought a

0:21:00.840 --> 0:21:03.840
<v Speaker 2>house and it's like, you know, it feels like our

0:21:03.880 --> 0:21:07.040
<v Speaker 2>family house, and me and Tim were like, let's do

0:21:07.119 --> 0:21:10.000
<v Speaker 2>the Christmas thing. And we had decided that Christmas was

0:21:10.040 --> 0:21:11.920
<v Speaker 2>going to be at our house for the first time,

0:21:12.440 --> 0:21:15.520
<v Speaker 2>and so we were like, let's buy Christmas tree, like,

0:21:15.880 --> 0:21:18.679
<v Speaker 2>let's do it all properly. So it was only last

0:21:18.840 --> 0:21:20.840
<v Speaker 2>year and it was the first time we bought a

0:21:20.920 --> 0:21:24.679
<v Speaker 2>Christmas tree. We decorated. I think it was on like

0:21:25.000 --> 0:21:27.040
<v Speaker 2>the first of December. I think we did it, or

0:21:27.119 --> 0:21:30.320
<v Speaker 2>it was the Sunday before the first or whatever. And

0:21:30.400 --> 0:21:33.320
<v Speaker 2>so we did that and we did a tree and

0:21:33.359 --> 0:21:35.600
<v Speaker 2>that was really fun, Like I really enjoyed that, and

0:21:35.640 --> 0:21:38.879
<v Speaker 2>I cannot wait to do that with my kids, and

0:21:38.960 --> 0:21:41.840
<v Speaker 2>I definitely want to do I've seen people do this

0:21:41.880 --> 0:21:45.240
<v Speaker 2>thing where each year the kids like pick out their

0:21:45.240 --> 0:21:47.680
<v Speaker 2>own ornament and they get to put like a new

0:21:47.760 --> 0:21:50.720
<v Speaker 2>ornament on the tree per year, so that's something little

0:21:50.760 --> 0:21:53.920
<v Speaker 2>that I want to do. And then on Christmas Day

0:21:54.840 --> 0:21:57.399
<v Speaker 2>we have always just you know, in saying that, like

0:21:57.440 --> 0:22:00.639
<v Speaker 2>when you guys were talking about the Christmas spirits, I

0:22:00.800 --> 0:22:04.240
<v Speaker 2>do get it from the family side. I'm My family's

0:22:04.520 --> 0:22:08.400
<v Speaker 2>very family orientated and I really I love that aspect.

0:22:08.560 --> 0:22:12.600
<v Speaker 2>So it's definitely just like every single Christmas, we usually

0:22:12.640 --> 0:22:16.639
<v Speaker 2>do breakfast with my family and then lunch with Tim's family,

0:22:17.040 --> 0:22:20.879
<v Speaker 2>all together, good food, and you know, dress up the

0:22:20.960 --> 0:22:23.560
<v Speaker 2>house and you get dressed up and you see everyone,

0:22:23.840 --> 0:22:27.520
<v Speaker 2>you have some drinks, and yeah, I definitely get it,

0:22:27.560 --> 0:22:30.600
<v Speaker 2>and it is a really nice day and I'm definitely

0:22:30.640 --> 0:22:34.000
<v Speaker 2>excited to like have more traditions in the future. That's

0:22:34.080 --> 0:22:35.200
<v Speaker 2>kind of it so far.

0:22:35.480 --> 0:22:38.360
<v Speaker 1>But oh that sounds perfect. And I've got to say

0:22:38.400 --> 0:22:40.720
<v Speaker 1>your tree looked amazing last year. I loved the white

0:22:40.720 --> 0:22:43.680
<v Speaker 1>decorations that looked very classy. So you're you're definitely doing

0:22:43.760 --> 0:22:46.720
<v Speaker 1>very well. You get out to approval. Can I make

0:22:46.720 --> 0:22:48.639
<v Speaker 1>a suggestion for you though, if you are looking for

0:22:48.680 --> 0:22:51.719
<v Speaker 1>a tradition something I've been doing. I don't know if

0:22:51.720 --> 0:22:54.640
<v Speaker 1>you've seen them, but at Maya. They and also online

0:22:54.640 --> 0:22:58.439
<v Speaker 1>they sell the Limax Christmas like little villages, so you

0:22:58.480 --> 0:23:01.840
<v Speaker 1>can buy little houses. I've got what is it called,

0:23:01.840 --> 0:23:04.320
<v Speaker 1>we had a big fight, I've got a candy shop

0:23:04.760 --> 0:23:06.960
<v Speaker 1>and so it's got little gingerbread men who were making

0:23:07.040 --> 0:23:10.960
<v Speaker 1>candy for children. And there's obviously some classier ones as well,

0:23:11.000 --> 0:23:13.280
<v Speaker 1>but I could see that going quite well, like the tradition,

0:23:13.400 --> 0:23:16.320
<v Speaker 1>you buy one each year and slowly grow the Christmas stales.

0:23:16.359 --> 0:23:19.920
<v Speaker 1>They fout garish, but they're actually really really like lovely looking.

0:23:20.040 --> 0:23:22.560
<v Speaker 2>No. I like the sound of that. Like I like

0:23:22.640 --> 0:23:26.040
<v Speaker 2>the sound of like also adding to it, and that's

0:23:26.080 --> 0:23:27.720
<v Speaker 2>what we kind of said, like we're not going to

0:23:27.880 --> 0:23:32.360
<v Speaker 2>just like go balls to the walls start and kind

0:23:32.359 --> 0:23:36.240
<v Speaker 2>of slowly add every single Yeah, so yeah, thank you.

0:23:36.280 --> 0:23:38.359
<v Speaker 2>I definitely I'll look at it. And also, do you

0:23:38.359 --> 0:23:40.160
<v Speaker 2>guys do like that elf thing?

0:23:41.240 --> 0:23:44.080
<v Speaker 1>Elf on a shelf? See, that's kind of too new

0:23:44.160 --> 0:23:46.359
<v Speaker 1>for us. I feel we tried, which we're supposed to

0:23:46.400 --> 0:23:48.159
<v Speaker 1>be doing it this year. That's he just reminded me.

0:23:48.240 --> 0:23:49.720
<v Speaker 1>We bought a little one and we were going to

0:23:49.760 --> 0:23:52.000
<v Speaker 1>put it in different places. We'll start doing that in December.

0:23:52.040 --> 0:23:54.400
<v Speaker 1>I feel like that's a good one though for kids,

0:23:54.440 --> 0:23:56.480
<v Speaker 1>because they seem to really get hooked on the elf

0:23:56.480 --> 0:23:57.879
<v Speaker 1>on the shelf. But yeah, I don't think it was

0:23:57.880 --> 0:24:00.200
<v Speaker 1>a thing when we were younger. One of our friends

0:24:00.320 --> 0:24:03.280
<v Speaker 1>he did one for his kids, and the funniest scene

0:24:03.359 --> 0:24:05.720
<v Speaker 1>he set the elf up up in was with a

0:24:05.720 --> 0:24:07.760
<v Speaker 1>whole bunch of Barbie dolls. So he made it look

0:24:07.800 --> 0:24:09.960
<v Speaker 1>like he'd had this kind of wild night with like

0:24:10.040 --> 0:24:13.680
<v Speaker 1>ten Barbie dolls, so just so really appropriate for his children.

0:24:13.960 --> 0:24:18.880
<v Speaker 2>He loved it. That'sfinitely something I would do well.

0:24:18.920 --> 0:24:21.480
<v Speaker 1>Moving onto Christmas food, and I did see a vlog

0:24:21.480 --> 0:24:23.400
<v Speaker 1>from a little a few years ago where you spoke

0:24:23.440 --> 0:24:26.600
<v Speaker 1>about sort of anxiety people have about eating a lot

0:24:26.600 --> 0:24:29.000
<v Speaker 1>of food around the Christmas time. Do you have any

0:24:29.040 --> 0:24:32.359
<v Speaker 1>advice that people can follow if they are feeling like that.

0:24:32.960 --> 0:24:38.119
<v Speaker 2>So I come from a background of I guess you

0:24:38.200 --> 0:24:41.920
<v Speaker 2>could have you would call me like a fitness influencer.

0:24:42.160 --> 0:24:45.000
<v Speaker 2>And I come from a background of being very hardcore

0:24:45.240 --> 0:24:48.720
<v Speaker 2>with dieting and wanting to look a certain way. So

0:24:49.280 --> 0:24:53.879
<v Speaker 2>I remember having a lot of anxiety around you know,

0:24:54.119 --> 0:24:57.439
<v Speaker 2>even just family get togethers and then Christmas time, and

0:24:57.480 --> 0:25:01.600
<v Speaker 2>it is something like I personally have worked through and

0:25:01.800 --> 0:25:05.159
<v Speaker 2>I'm now an intuitive eater, so I don't kind of

0:25:05.280 --> 0:25:07.880
<v Speaker 2>worry about that sort of thing. But if you are

0:25:08.080 --> 0:25:11.119
<v Speaker 2>someone who does get anxious around food, I think the

0:25:11.200 --> 0:25:16.600
<v Speaker 2>first thing is just like realizing that it's so important.

0:25:16.680 --> 0:25:20.560
<v Speaker 2>Like food isn't just to feed your body, but you know,

0:25:20.800 --> 0:25:24.240
<v Speaker 2>with your family and that sort of environment, it's really

0:25:24.320 --> 0:25:27.280
<v Speaker 2>important to see it for what it is, which is

0:25:27.400 --> 0:25:30.639
<v Speaker 2>it's family orientated. It's nothing, you know, really to do

0:25:30.800 --> 0:25:32.960
<v Speaker 2>the food. And I used to sometimes get a bit

0:25:33.040 --> 0:25:36.919
<v Speaker 2>lost in the of the food rather than the bigger

0:25:36.960 --> 0:25:39.640
<v Speaker 2>picture of I'm spending time with my family. So that's

0:25:39.720 --> 0:25:43.760
<v Speaker 2>kind of like just something to think about. And also

0:25:43.920 --> 0:25:47.879
<v Speaker 2>just it's really important, like don't try like if you

0:25:48.080 --> 0:25:51.840
<v Speaker 2>have a big Christmas meal, like don't try and out

0:25:51.880 --> 0:25:55.600
<v Speaker 2>exercise that or anything like literally just enjoy it, like

0:25:56.240 --> 0:25:59.239
<v Speaker 2>enjoy it and be like that was delicious. You know,

0:25:59.359 --> 0:26:01.760
<v Speaker 2>that was so well deserves. Like you said, Christmas time

0:26:01.880 --> 0:26:04.840
<v Speaker 2>is like it's a winding down of the year, which

0:26:05.000 --> 0:26:09.080
<v Speaker 2>and bloody twenty twenty has been. It's been a hard year,

0:26:09.160 --> 0:26:12.320
<v Speaker 2>hasn't it. And so it's like give yourself grace, be

0:26:12.480 --> 0:26:15.640
<v Speaker 2>klind to yourself, don't even don't even think that way,

0:26:15.720 --> 0:26:19.199
<v Speaker 2>don't over exercise. And then it's just simple things like

0:26:19.240 --> 0:26:23.960
<v Speaker 2>if you are going to a family something and you

0:26:23.960 --> 0:26:26.399
<v Speaker 2>you know, you don't necessarily like the food or the

0:26:26.400 --> 0:26:29.560
<v Speaker 2>way they cook it is bring a dish that you

0:26:29.840 --> 0:26:32.199
<v Speaker 2>like that you know is cooked in the way that

0:26:32.280 --> 0:26:35.280
<v Speaker 2>you like it, or you know a certain salad you like,

0:26:35.560 --> 0:26:39.000
<v Speaker 2>or you know, something like that. Also like don't do

0:26:39.160 --> 0:26:43.840
<v Speaker 2>the whole you know, skipping breakfast, not eating so you

0:26:43.880 --> 0:26:47.080
<v Speaker 2>can eat a bigger lunch, and something like that, like no,

0:26:47.600 --> 0:26:52.520
<v Speaker 2>just eat normal, enjoy your Christmas food is meant to

0:26:52.560 --> 0:26:56.439
<v Speaker 2>be enjoyed. It's a couple of days a year, and

0:26:56.480 --> 0:26:58.760
<v Speaker 2>I think it's really important to see it for what

0:26:58.880 --> 0:27:02.679
<v Speaker 2>it is, which it's you know, it's just beautiful, beautiful celebration,

0:27:03.320 --> 0:27:06.439
<v Speaker 2>rather than getting anxious about what you're eating.

0:27:06.680 --> 0:27:08.480
<v Speaker 1>Well, I know, I've been trying to watch what I

0:27:08.560 --> 0:27:11.280
<v Speaker 1>eat and I'm just trying to find healthy alternatives to things.

0:27:11.320 --> 0:27:14.600
<v Speaker 1>And I've saw your amazing business Naked Harvest. You've got

0:27:14.600 --> 0:27:18.080
<v Speaker 1>a chocolate moon milk that looks like that's just Christmas

0:27:18.080 --> 0:27:20.399
<v Speaker 1>all over it. Amy ran in to tell me She's like,

0:27:20.440 --> 0:27:23.840
<v Speaker 1>it's got magnesium in and apparently Amy's obsessed with magnesium

0:27:23.880 --> 0:27:26.000
<v Speaker 1>at the moment. Well, sometimes you need a bit of

0:27:26.000 --> 0:27:29.320
<v Speaker 1>magnesium to get to sleep, don't you, guys.

0:27:29.359 --> 0:27:32.800
<v Speaker 2>Magnesium is like I get it. I get the obpression

0:27:33.040 --> 0:27:36.639
<v Speaker 2>it is. It's amazing. We all everyone. I heard this

0:27:36.720 --> 0:27:38.520
<v Speaker 2>like study the other day and it's like everyone in

0:27:38.560 --> 0:27:41.880
<v Speaker 2>Australia is deficient and magnesium. I'm like, guys, get onto

0:27:41.920 --> 0:27:42.440
<v Speaker 2>the moon milt.

0:27:42.920 --> 0:27:45.159
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god. I've literally been telling everybody this. I've

0:27:45.160 --> 0:27:48.080
<v Speaker 1>been telling my mom. I'm like, because the pill makes

0:27:48.080 --> 0:27:50.199
<v Speaker 1>you deficion of magnesium, A lot of people are obviously

0:27:50.200 --> 0:27:51.560
<v Speaker 1>on the pill when it can drain you.

0:27:51.800 --> 0:27:55.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, magnesium is so important, especially what you said for sleep.

0:27:55.240 --> 0:27:58.919
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, sorry. Moon milk is. It's a product from

0:27:59.000 --> 0:28:03.000
<v Speaker 2>Naked Harvest, which is my all natural supplement company that

0:28:03.040 --> 0:28:06.359
<v Speaker 2>I co own with my brother. And so it's just,

0:28:06.480 --> 0:28:08.639
<v Speaker 2>oh my god, it is our it is our best seller,

0:28:08.760 --> 0:28:12.840
<v Speaker 2>and it's for good reason. It is the most amazing product.

0:28:12.880 --> 0:28:16.479
<v Speaker 2>So it's just basically a hot chocolate, but it is

0:28:16.880 --> 0:28:23.720
<v Speaker 2>filled with like superfoods and adaptations and minerals like magnesium

0:28:23.800 --> 0:28:27.359
<v Speaker 2>and Ashua ganda and it's basically going to help your

0:28:27.640 --> 0:28:32.000
<v Speaker 2>body and mind relax and unwined. So it's all natural.

0:28:32.040 --> 0:28:34.840
<v Speaker 2>So it's not going to like sedate you or anything

0:28:35.000 --> 0:28:37.919
<v Speaker 2>like that. I'm going to leave you feeling groggy. But

0:28:38.680 --> 0:28:42.480
<v Speaker 2>especially I feel like you girls might be able to relate.

0:28:42.520 --> 0:28:45.200
<v Speaker 2>But I have a very busy mind, so you know,

0:28:45.280 --> 0:28:48.000
<v Speaker 2>even if I shut off work at five pm, I'm

0:28:48.040 --> 0:28:50.320
<v Speaker 2>still kind of, you know, thinking about different things. I

0:28:50.360 --> 0:28:52.320
<v Speaker 2>have a couple of moonmilk. I have it hot, I

0:28:52.360 --> 0:28:56.800
<v Speaker 2>have it with full cream milk, and I love it. It

0:28:56.800 --> 0:29:00.080
<v Speaker 2>is so chocolate y, it's vegan. It's really good. But

0:29:00.320 --> 0:29:03.280
<v Speaker 2>if you think about, you know, us always being on

0:29:03.360 --> 0:29:06.000
<v Speaker 2>fight or flight with you know, our alarms and our

0:29:06.040 --> 0:29:08.000
<v Speaker 2>phone screens and all that sort of thing, it just

0:29:08.040 --> 0:29:11.680
<v Speaker 2>puts your body in this really nice state where it's like, okay,

0:29:12.040 --> 0:29:15.000
<v Speaker 2>it's sleep time, it's relaxed time. I even really enjoy

0:29:15.040 --> 0:29:17.920
<v Speaker 2>it in the afternoon, a three pm sort of thing.

0:29:18.360 --> 0:29:21.560
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, that would be a really good hot chocolate alternative.

0:29:21.640 --> 0:29:24.240
<v Speaker 2>It is, like I can honestly say, it's delicious. I'll

0:29:24.280 --> 0:29:25.240
<v Speaker 2>have to send some to you, right.

0:29:25.480 --> 0:29:27.440
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, that'd be amazing because I can just

0:29:27.480 --> 0:29:30.480
<v Speaker 1>imagine sitting down and watching Elf and having some Moon

0:29:30.600 --> 0:29:34.000
<v Speaker 1>milk like that just sounds well. It's such a cute

0:29:34.080 --> 0:29:36.200
<v Speaker 1>name I can just imagine, like this time next year,

0:29:36.200 --> 0:29:38.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to open up Amy's pantry and She's just

0:29:38.320 --> 0:29:43.640
<v Speaker 1>gonna have like twenty boxes. Amy's just obsessed with supplements

0:29:43.680 --> 0:29:48.360
<v Speaker 1>and health at the moment in a very good way.

0:29:48.560 --> 0:29:50.680
<v Speaker 1>Like yeah, shame.

0:29:52.360 --> 0:29:55.960
<v Speaker 2>It's really funny because yeah, it's our best seller and

0:29:56.080 --> 0:29:58.880
<v Speaker 2>it often gets sold out, and then we have a

0:29:58.920 --> 0:30:00.640
<v Speaker 2>couple of weeks before we can get it in because

0:30:00.640 --> 0:30:03.880
<v Speaker 2>we're having some issues with shipping in COVID like everyone,

0:30:04.280 --> 0:30:08.040
<v Speaker 2>and I'll have girls DM me and they're like, Georgia,

0:30:08.360 --> 0:30:10.840
<v Speaker 2>you need to bring moon milk Moon Milk back because

0:30:10.960 --> 0:30:13.760
<v Speaker 2>they literally like I can't sleep again and I'm having

0:30:13.840 --> 0:30:17.680
<v Speaker 2>the worst sleep, and so yeah, it's so funny. And

0:30:17.720 --> 0:30:20.240
<v Speaker 2>then as soon as it's back in stock, we have

0:30:20.440 --> 0:30:23.120
<v Speaker 2>orders where people will literally buy five at a time.

0:30:23.600 --> 0:30:25.360
<v Speaker 1>I feel like that's when you can tell you're in

0:30:25.400 --> 0:30:28.440
<v Speaker 1>your late twenties to early thirties when you like need

0:30:28.520 --> 0:30:31.600
<v Speaker 1>moon milk to go to sleep. It's like me with

0:30:31.640 --> 0:30:33.120
<v Speaker 1>my komb butcher. I'm like, I've got to have a

0:30:33.160 --> 0:30:35.600
<v Speaker 1>kom butcher when I eat my dinner, Like I'm so boring.

0:30:35.800 --> 0:30:38.600
<v Speaker 1>It's your wine, that's like my wine. Yeah, it's very sad.

0:30:38.640 --> 0:30:40.959
<v Speaker 2>But oh no, one hundred and ten percent. I know,

0:30:41.080 --> 0:30:42.360
<v Speaker 2>getting older, isn't it fun?

0:30:43.800 --> 0:30:45.840
<v Speaker 1>Do you have any other than moon milk? Do you

0:30:45.880 --> 0:30:48.000
<v Speaker 1>have any go to foods at Christmas time that you

0:30:48.120 --> 0:30:49.680
<v Speaker 1>like to eat or that you like to cook.

0:30:50.280 --> 0:30:54.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm a big seafood person, so I love the whole

0:30:54.280 --> 0:30:59.000
<v Speaker 2>Aussie Christmas where there's a lot of prawns and seafood

0:30:59.600 --> 0:31:01.360
<v Speaker 2>and that sort of things. So I don't even know,

0:31:01.480 --> 0:31:02.520
<v Speaker 2>like is that Christmas y?

0:31:02.760 --> 0:31:05.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, definitely yeh here I was like, did I just

0:31:06.000 --> 0:31:09.840
<v Speaker 1>make this up? Our grandma had oysters, so yeah, that's

0:31:09.920 --> 0:31:12.800
<v Speaker 1>and prawns and everyone. Yeah, yeah, and tongue. It's very

0:31:13.400 --> 0:31:14.800
<v Speaker 1>very aussy Christmas dinner.

0:31:14.840 --> 0:31:18.080
<v Speaker 2>I feel like, yeah, I love that. I love oysters,

0:31:18.160 --> 0:31:20.040
<v Speaker 2>I love prawns and all that sort of thing. And

0:31:20.080 --> 0:31:23.040
<v Speaker 2>I think I think because for us, like it's Christmas,

0:31:23.080 --> 0:31:25.680
<v Speaker 2>it's around a really hot time too, like that sort

0:31:25.720 --> 0:31:28.320
<v Speaker 2>of food like almost like kind of like fresh, but

0:31:28.440 --> 0:31:32.840
<v Speaker 2>it's hearty, and I love all the different salads. I

0:31:32.880 --> 0:31:36.680
<v Speaker 2>love it Christmas how it's like the only time that

0:31:36.760 --> 0:31:38.680
<v Speaker 2>you have a pick of like five salads.

0:31:39.520 --> 0:31:42.400
<v Speaker 1>That's such a good point. Yeah, we're all vegetarian, so

0:31:42.440 --> 0:31:43.640
<v Speaker 1>that's really good for us.

0:31:43.480 --> 0:31:45.960
<v Speaker 2>Because it's interesting. Okay, we always.

0:31:45.800 --> 0:31:48.360
<v Speaker 1>Used to have Christmases like because we turned vegetarian when

0:31:48.360 --> 0:31:51.920
<v Speaker 1>we were fourteen, but then up until we were about

0:31:51.960 --> 0:31:54.720
<v Speaker 1>twenty four, everyone just always forgot. They're like, oh, you're

0:31:54.760 --> 0:31:57.600
<v Speaker 1>vegetarian at Christmas time. We're like, we have been for

0:31:57.640 --> 0:32:01.040
<v Speaker 1>the past ten years. Yeah, I'm going on today.

0:32:01.240 --> 0:32:04.000
<v Speaker 2>What do you guys love at Christmas time? Being vegetarian?

0:32:04.320 --> 0:32:07.640
<v Speaker 1>Well, it's all cats. I eat fish now, so I

0:32:07.680 --> 0:32:10.040
<v Speaker 1>have for the past two years. But we don't eat

0:32:10.040 --> 0:32:13.800
<v Speaker 1>fish at Christmas though, No, ye I don't. Well, we

0:32:13.880 --> 0:32:16.280
<v Speaker 1>normally eat like our mum and dad usually do a

0:32:16.400 --> 0:32:19.720
<v Speaker 1>roast dinner, so there's always heaps of like roast potatoes

0:32:19.720 --> 0:32:21.920
<v Speaker 1>and veggies and that sort of thing. Do you do

0:32:22.000 --> 0:32:25.200
<v Speaker 1>Yorkshire puddings, k Yeah, Yorkshire puddings so yeah, basically the

0:32:25.280 --> 0:32:27.840
<v Speaker 1>roast without the meat, so it's not actually very exciting.

0:32:28.280 --> 0:32:31.080
<v Speaker 1>Gratalads and potato bake and all of that kind of

0:32:31.080 --> 0:32:33.280
<v Speaker 1>stuff as well. My grandma would always do lots of salad,

0:32:33.320 --> 0:32:35.160
<v Speaker 1>so yeah, there was there was lots of different things

0:32:35.240 --> 0:32:37.280
<v Speaker 1>we could have. We've actually been discussing we need to

0:32:37.280 --> 0:32:40.239
<v Speaker 1>bring in I want to do a vegetarian lasagna this

0:32:40.320 --> 0:32:41.680
<v Speaker 1>Christmas Day.

0:32:41.840 --> 0:32:46.160
<v Speaker 2>That's yeah, how good does that say? There's a place

0:32:46.240 --> 0:32:48.800
<v Speaker 2>just down the road for me. It's called Govinda's. If

0:32:48.800 --> 0:32:52.040
<v Speaker 2>you're over the Gold Coast, definitely hit it up. They

0:32:52.080 --> 0:32:55.800
<v Speaker 2>do the best vegetarian that it's a vegetarian store and

0:32:55.840 --> 0:32:59.800
<v Speaker 2>they do the best vegetarian lasagna. I'm pretty obsessed. You

0:32:59.800 --> 0:33:01.320
<v Speaker 2>guys should definitely do that.

0:33:01.320 --> 0:33:02.240
<v Speaker 1>That sounds amazing.

0:33:02.920 --> 0:33:04.640
<v Speaker 2>And what's your favorite Christmas dessert?

0:33:05.040 --> 0:33:08.040
<v Speaker 1>Oh? God, that's a tricky one because it's controversial, but

0:33:08.080 --> 0:33:10.240
<v Speaker 1>I love Christmas pudding. A lot of people don't like it,

0:33:10.320 --> 0:33:12.719
<v Speaker 1>but I think it's probably just the traditional thing, like

0:33:12.760 --> 0:33:16.160
<v Speaker 1>with hot custard and ice cream. I'm gonna get brownie points.

0:33:16.160 --> 0:33:18.520
<v Speaker 1>My favorite is my Mum's Rocky Road because she'll be listening.

0:33:18.600 --> 0:33:22.080
<v Speaker 1>She always makes Rocky Road every year. Or a cheesecake Pavlova,

0:33:22.240 --> 0:33:24.360
<v Speaker 1>you guys, no, you gotta go pavlova. Do you have

0:33:24.400 --> 0:33:26.640
<v Speaker 1>a favorite dessert, Georgie.

0:33:26.200 --> 0:33:27.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm with you. Pavlova.

0:33:27.880 --> 0:33:31.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's so fresh and like, I don't know, it doesn't.

0:33:31.720 --> 0:33:37.520
<v Speaker 2>Feel crispy and delicious. Yeah, Jim, Jim's favorite is pavlova.

0:33:37.600 --> 0:33:40.160
<v Speaker 2>So we always have a big plover with like a

0:33:40.200 --> 0:33:41.600
<v Speaker 2>whole heap of fruit on top.

0:33:41.880 --> 0:33:44.200
<v Speaker 1>I've gotta say Grandma's trifle as well. I can't believe

0:33:44.200 --> 0:33:46.560
<v Speaker 1>I forgot that, but our Grandma made an epic trifle

0:33:46.680 --> 0:33:48.760
<v Speaker 1>that was just you didn't really eat it on Christmas Day.

0:33:48.800 --> 0:33:50.920
<v Speaker 1>You kind of had it as leftovers, but it was like,

0:33:50.960 --> 0:33:53.160
<v Speaker 1>I love jelly, so you get like jelly and custard

0:33:53.160 --> 0:33:55.720
<v Speaker 1>and boger cake and really good. I feel like we

0:33:55.720 --> 0:33:57.400
<v Speaker 1>could talk about food the whole time, but we'll move

0:33:57.440 --> 0:34:00.280
<v Speaker 1>on to gifts now. We've spoken in the past about

0:34:00.320 --> 0:34:02.880
<v Speaker 1>the pressure to get your partner the perfect present. What

0:34:02.920 --> 0:34:05.560
<v Speaker 1>do you and Tim usually do and do you set

0:34:05.560 --> 0:34:07.040
<v Speaker 1>a budget at all or do you just kind of

0:34:07.040 --> 0:34:07.920
<v Speaker 1>go go wild?

0:34:09.719 --> 0:34:13.320
<v Speaker 2>So it has been a little bit different like previous years.

0:34:13.600 --> 0:34:17.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm trying to think back the last couple of years

0:34:17.880 --> 0:34:22.120
<v Speaker 2>me and Tim have actually said no Christmas gifts because

0:34:22.160 --> 0:34:26.040
<v Speaker 2>we were we were saving for various things. I think

0:34:26.080 --> 0:34:28.719
<v Speaker 2>we're saving for our house, so we're like, let's not

0:34:28.800 --> 0:34:33.799
<v Speaker 2>do Christmas gifts, and then we I think last year

0:34:34.280 --> 0:34:37.720
<v Speaker 2>we did it was like the mark was two hundred dollars,

0:34:37.719 --> 0:34:40.040
<v Speaker 2>so we kind of capped it there for each other

0:34:40.680 --> 0:34:45.080
<v Speaker 2>and then with family I'm a big gift card person

0:34:45.200 --> 0:34:48.840
<v Speaker 2>because I like receiving gift cards and then buying my

0:34:48.960 --> 0:34:52.200
<v Speaker 2>own thing, which I know some people they get really like, oh,

0:34:52.239 --> 0:34:54.799
<v Speaker 2>it's so insensitive to give a gift card. But I'm like,

0:34:55.239 --> 0:34:57.719
<v Speaker 2>that's the best gift. It really is.

0:34:57.920 --> 0:35:00.200
<v Speaker 1>It really is, because anything goes spend it in the same.

0:35:01.480 --> 0:35:04.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's I'm a big Boxing Day sale girl, so

0:35:04.360 --> 0:35:07.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm like perfect. Yeah. So we usually it's around the

0:35:07.920 --> 0:35:11.000
<v Speaker 2>two hundred dollar mark for each other, but in previous

0:35:11.080 --> 0:35:14.200
<v Speaker 2>years we have just said I'm not gonna lie. I'm

0:35:14.200 --> 0:35:17.400
<v Speaker 2>totally that girlfriend who was like, we're not doing Christmas

0:35:17.480 --> 0:35:20.040
<v Speaker 2>presents this year. We're saving. And then on Christmas Day

0:35:20.080 --> 0:35:22.440
<v Speaker 2>when Tim actually didn't get me a present, I was like,

0:35:23.120 --> 0:35:24.080
<v Speaker 2>are you serious.

0:35:26.600 --> 0:35:29.279
<v Speaker 1>See that's my fear because my partner and I have

0:35:29.360 --> 0:35:32.120
<v Speaker 1>just bought a house and we move in on December fourteenth,

0:35:32.640 --> 0:35:35.040
<v Speaker 1>and we're like, oh, you know, we're spending so much money,

0:35:35.040 --> 0:35:37.960
<v Speaker 1>maybe we shouldn't do Christmas presents. But I'm like, if

0:35:38.000 --> 0:35:40.760
<v Speaker 1>I then don't get something for him, you got to. Yeah,

0:35:41.520 --> 0:35:43.480
<v Speaker 1>this is a This is a hint for Tim and

0:35:43.560 --> 0:35:45.680
<v Speaker 1>Reese if they listen to this to actually just get

0:35:45.680 --> 0:35:47.879
<v Speaker 1>a present. Even if you guys say that, Loce does

0:35:47.920 --> 0:35:51.040
<v Speaker 1>not listen to this, so.

0:35:50.760 --> 0:35:53.960
<v Speaker 2>A hundred percent, like this is like a PSA to

0:35:54.080 --> 0:35:57.480
<v Speaker 2>any boyfriend your girlfriend says, Oh, just don't get me

0:35:57.520 --> 0:35:59.960
<v Speaker 2>a present, Like we're not doing presents because you're saving

0:36:00.560 --> 0:36:01.800
<v Speaker 2>still get.

0:36:02.440 --> 0:36:03.640
<v Speaker 1>Can get a candle?

0:36:03.880 --> 0:36:10.040
<v Speaker 2>How I remember, like I remember feeling like devastated. Do

0:36:10.080 --> 0:36:12.479
<v Speaker 2>you remember it's so confused because he was like, I'm

0:36:12.640 --> 0:36:14.520
<v Speaker 2>so confused right now, what is happening?

0:36:15.200 --> 0:36:17.080
<v Speaker 1>Do you remember what you got him? Was it something

0:36:17.120 --> 0:36:19.600
<v Speaker 1>pretty amazing? Was it just sort of like a token thing?

0:36:20.320 --> 0:36:23.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it probably wasn't even that good. I think it

0:36:23.080 --> 0:36:25.400
<v Speaker 2>was like just pajamas or something. So I thought you

0:36:26.000 --> 0:36:28.040
<v Speaker 2>I was like, I thought you'd get me something small

0:36:28.080 --> 0:36:30.120
<v Speaker 2>at least, Actually, I.

0:36:30.120 --> 0:36:32.600
<v Speaker 1>Think I don't know if you've seen on Netflix Holiday,

0:36:32.800 --> 0:36:35.080
<v Speaker 1>it's a kind of crap Christmas movie that's been brought

0:36:35.080 --> 0:36:36.759
<v Speaker 1>out this year. But there's a scene on there.

0:36:36.880 --> 0:36:37.279
<v Speaker 2>Watch it.

0:36:37.400 --> 0:36:38.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, there was a scene on there at the

0:36:38.920 --> 0:36:41.160
<v Speaker 1>start of the movie when the girl she got him

0:36:41.200 --> 0:36:43.200
<v Speaker 1>like three pairs of car key pants and he didn't

0:36:43.200 --> 0:36:45.200
<v Speaker 1>get her anything and she just went off. I'm just

0:36:45.239 --> 0:36:46.440
<v Speaker 1>imagining that now.

0:36:47.960 --> 0:36:50.239
<v Speaker 2>Literally so funny. But me and Jim had been here

0:36:50.320 --> 0:36:52.239
<v Speaker 2>for like nine years, so I felt like it was

0:36:52.239 --> 0:36:52.800
<v Speaker 2>more balid.

0:36:57.280 --> 0:36:59.200
<v Speaker 1>Well, because we're going to be getting into the new

0:36:59.280 --> 0:37:01.680
<v Speaker 1>year soon. Hope twenty one is a bit better than

0:37:01.680 --> 0:37:04.400
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty has been. And you are sort of the

0:37:04.520 --> 0:37:07.799
<v Speaker 1>guru for goal setting. We'd love to hear what your

0:37:07.800 --> 0:37:10.600
<v Speaker 1>advice is for people who are setting goals for next year.

0:37:11.320 --> 0:37:16.279
<v Speaker 2>A guru for goal setting, I love so I'm a

0:37:16.440 --> 0:37:19.080
<v Speaker 2>huge I don't know if you guys have picked this up,

0:37:19.080 --> 0:37:22.719
<v Speaker 2>but I'm a huge control freak, a huge planner, and

0:37:22.800 --> 0:37:26.439
<v Speaker 2>I love writing goals. I love, you know, planning things.

0:37:26.480 --> 0:37:28.719
<v Speaker 2>And I think at the start of the year, it's

0:37:28.800 --> 0:37:32.920
<v Speaker 2>just got this like fresh energy, a shift in energy.

0:37:33.000 --> 0:37:36.160
<v Speaker 2>And I'm really really hoping, like I think twenty twenty

0:37:36.280 --> 0:37:39.160
<v Speaker 2>was different for us. You know, it started with the

0:37:39.200 --> 0:37:42.200
<v Speaker 2>fires and then it was COVID A lot was happening,

0:37:42.280 --> 0:37:45.560
<v Speaker 2>so we never really got those like new year vibes.

0:37:45.760 --> 0:37:49.960
<v Speaker 2>But I'm really hoping twenty twenty one is different, and

0:37:50.000 --> 0:37:53.319
<v Speaker 2>it does feel a bit like sort of fresh. I

0:37:53.360 --> 0:37:55.799
<v Speaker 2>guess a big thing for goals, Like I have this

0:37:55.920 --> 0:37:59.440
<v Speaker 2>whole goal planning strategy and I won't get like two

0:37:59.480 --> 0:38:02.560
<v Speaker 2>into it. It's a bit crazy. I've fit in depth,

0:38:02.680 --> 0:38:04.920
<v Speaker 2>but I think you just need to look at it

0:38:05.000 --> 0:38:09.839
<v Speaker 2>and you need to really think of what is your intention.

0:38:10.560 --> 0:38:13.600
<v Speaker 2>So I don't like to have this whole list of

0:38:13.640 --> 0:38:17.279
<v Speaker 2>you know, like nine random things or a lot going on.

0:38:17.400 --> 0:38:21.000
<v Speaker 2>I really try and sit down, and I'm someone who likes,

0:38:21.040 --> 0:38:25.839
<v Speaker 2>you know, meditating and journaling and being intuitive in how

0:38:25.880 --> 0:38:29.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm feeling. And so it's kind of like if you

0:38:29.080 --> 0:38:32.760
<v Speaker 2>actually sit down and you're like, what is my actual

0:38:33.080 --> 0:38:37.160
<v Speaker 2>intention for the next couple of months. Am I focusing on,

0:38:37.440 --> 0:38:40.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, whether you have a business, Am I focusing

0:38:40.680 --> 0:38:44.359
<v Speaker 2>on my health? Am I focusing on personal relationships? Like,

0:38:44.680 --> 0:38:48.200
<v Speaker 2>really dig deep into what's important for you, because I

0:38:48.200 --> 0:38:50.759
<v Speaker 2>think it's so easy for it to be the new

0:38:50.880 --> 0:38:53.640
<v Speaker 2>year and you to just go, oh, I want to

0:38:53.680 --> 0:38:57.359
<v Speaker 2>you know, lose ten kilos or run a marathon and

0:38:57.400 --> 0:39:00.279
<v Speaker 2>do all these random things that's really not you know,

0:39:00.880 --> 0:39:03.600
<v Speaker 2>heart based for you. But it's kind of just what

0:39:03.640 --> 0:39:06.319
<v Speaker 2>people do on the New Year. And so I'm not

0:39:06.400 --> 0:39:09.120
<v Speaker 2>really interested in that sort of thing. I'm very interested

0:39:09.160 --> 0:39:12.200
<v Speaker 2>in coming things. And really I really talk about this

0:39:12.360 --> 0:39:17.040
<v Speaker 2>concept of like having these heart desires of something that

0:39:17.120 --> 0:39:20.719
<v Speaker 2>you really want to do and listening to that and yeah,

0:39:20.760 --> 0:39:23.560
<v Speaker 2>like I said, like coming from an intention. So even

0:39:23.600 --> 0:39:27.400
<v Speaker 2>if it's like like, for example, me, I went through

0:39:27.480 --> 0:39:31.520
<v Speaker 2>a surgery where I had my breast implants removed because

0:39:31.600 --> 0:39:35.759
<v Speaker 2>I've been having health issues with them. And so my

0:39:35.960 --> 0:39:40.480
<v Speaker 2>intention for the new year is to really just focus

0:39:40.600 --> 0:39:45.080
<v Speaker 2>on getting back to feeling myself and health and like

0:39:45.560 --> 0:39:48.200
<v Speaker 2>not you know, to run a marathon or lose weight

0:39:48.320 --> 0:39:51.319
<v Speaker 2>or anything like that. So looking at from a perspective

0:39:51.800 --> 0:39:54.960
<v Speaker 2>and like I've already, I like to also have words

0:39:55.040 --> 0:39:57.000
<v Speaker 2>at the start of the year. So for me, my

0:39:57.160 --> 0:40:03.560
<v Speaker 2>three words for twenty twenty one is health, healing, and happiness.

0:40:03.920 --> 0:40:09.200
<v Speaker 2>And it just so happens that they're all hate. Instead

0:40:09.200 --> 0:40:13.319
<v Speaker 2>of going and it being very specific, I like to

0:40:13.360 --> 0:40:15.600
<v Speaker 2>come from that, yeah, that heart space and it being

0:40:15.640 --> 0:40:19.400
<v Speaker 2>really intentional and it making sense you know, to me

0:40:20.280 --> 0:40:22.920
<v Speaker 2>or you guys, and it like really making sense rather

0:40:23.000 --> 0:40:26.560
<v Speaker 2>than just having a goal because you know, you think

0:40:26.680 --> 0:40:29.160
<v Speaker 2>you have to have a goal, or if it's you know,

0:40:29.200 --> 0:40:31.040
<v Speaker 2>what Sally's doing or whatnot.

0:40:31.680 --> 0:40:34.040
<v Speaker 1>That's such a good point because sometimes you do feel

0:40:34.080 --> 0:40:36.719
<v Speaker 1>compelled to be like, yeah, I'm gonna you know, get

0:40:36.760 --> 0:40:39.080
<v Speaker 1>fit this new year, or I mean mine was meant

0:40:39.120 --> 0:40:40.520
<v Speaker 1>to be that I'm going to go to bed early.

0:40:40.560 --> 0:40:43.440
<v Speaker 1>Actually that has kind of happened. We're all notice, I'm

0:40:43.520 --> 0:40:47.200
<v Speaker 1>just reflecting on the year that's been. But one really

0:40:47.200 --> 0:40:50.359
<v Speaker 1>positive thing about twenty twenty one is enrollments for your

0:40:50.440 --> 0:40:52.719
<v Speaker 1>Rise and Conquer online course open. I know it's been

0:40:52.840 --> 0:40:55.400
<v Speaker 1>hugely successful. Can you tell us a little bit about that,

0:40:55.440 --> 0:40:57.120
<v Speaker 1>because I think that could be something great that our

0:40:57.160 --> 0:40:59.879
<v Speaker 1>listeners could get involved in that will help them sort

0:40:59.880 --> 0:41:01.839
<v Speaker 1>of reach their goals hopefully as well.

0:41:02.480 --> 0:41:05.439
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. No, thank you for mentioning that yet. So that's

0:41:05.480 --> 0:41:09.440
<v Speaker 2>my Rising Conquer six week online course. It's called the

0:41:09.520 --> 0:41:13.520
<v Speaker 2>Rising Conquer Project. And it's funny because it really came

0:41:13.600 --> 0:41:16.880
<v Speaker 2>about because I kind of, like I said, I have

0:41:17.040 --> 0:41:20.759
<v Speaker 2>my own process with goal setting and achieving things. And

0:41:20.800 --> 0:41:24.080
<v Speaker 2>I kind of noticed this because I do have a

0:41:24.160 --> 0:41:27.839
<v Speaker 2>background in I was a lawyer and then I left

0:41:27.880 --> 0:41:32.439
<v Speaker 2>my corporate job to start my own business and well

0:41:32.520 --> 0:41:35.600
<v Speaker 2>a couple of businesses, and then that was you know,

0:41:35.680 --> 0:41:38.000
<v Speaker 2>that's a huge step, and I know a lot of

0:41:38.640 --> 0:41:42.160
<v Speaker 2>women or people face that. And then there's just been

0:41:42.440 --> 0:41:45.200
<v Speaker 2>quite a few big things in my life and I've

0:41:45.200 --> 0:41:47.560
<v Speaker 2>had people being like, you know, how do you know

0:41:47.600 --> 0:41:50.200
<v Speaker 2>you're ready? How do you know how to go off

0:41:50.239 --> 0:41:54.279
<v Speaker 2>and start things? And so I kind of backtracked and

0:41:54.440 --> 0:41:58.359
<v Speaker 2>realized before any sort of end, this even was the

0:41:58.400 --> 0:42:02.920
<v Speaker 2>same case. Meant recently made a huge change where we

0:42:03.080 --> 0:42:06.040
<v Speaker 2>used to live in the city and now we have

0:42:06.239 --> 0:42:09.360
<v Speaker 2>moved to the beach and we've kind of really transformed

0:42:09.440 --> 0:42:12.680
<v Speaker 2>our lifestyle from like city life to beach life. So

0:42:12.719 --> 0:42:16.040
<v Speaker 2>that just has been these various things that have happened

0:42:16.840 --> 0:42:19.200
<v Speaker 2>where people like, you know, like how do you do this?

0:42:19.360 --> 0:42:22.640
<v Speaker 2>And so I kind of backtracked and realized that I

0:42:22.800 --> 0:42:26.400
<v Speaker 2>use this formula every time I want to, and I

0:42:26.440 --> 0:42:29.520
<v Speaker 2>call it like up level, but it's more just like

0:42:30.040 --> 0:42:33.920
<v Speaker 2>when you have a need and a heart desire to

0:42:34.040 --> 0:42:37.080
<v Speaker 2>do something new or change something. And I think we

0:42:37.160 --> 0:42:41.600
<v Speaker 2>can all sort of agree it can be so hard

0:42:41.719 --> 0:42:45.440
<v Speaker 2>and it can be so daunting, but in reality, honestly,

0:42:46.239 --> 0:42:51.000
<v Speaker 2>like it's always our limiting beliefs that are holding us back.

0:42:51.400 --> 0:42:54.000
<v Speaker 2>And so throughout this course, the first thing I do

0:42:54.160 --> 0:42:56.319
<v Speaker 2>is I teach you this formula, which this kind of

0:42:56.400 --> 0:42:59.799
<v Speaker 2>six step formula that I do before anything big, and

0:42:59.800 --> 0:43:04.120
<v Speaker 2>then I also go through these things like limiting beliefs,

0:43:04.120 --> 0:43:07.120
<v Speaker 2>and I sort of disarm them and we work through

0:43:07.160 --> 0:43:13.200
<v Speaker 2>there's workbooks and whatnot, and basically I help women kind

0:43:13.239 --> 0:43:16.520
<v Speaker 2>of just step up and up level to wherever they

0:43:16.600 --> 0:43:19.520
<v Speaker 2>want to go. It is kind of broad because you know,

0:43:19.680 --> 0:43:22.440
<v Speaker 2>some people take the course and they start a new business,

0:43:23.000 --> 0:43:26.320
<v Speaker 2>or just some people like I recently had a girl

0:43:26.360 --> 0:43:29.600
<v Speaker 2>send me an amazing email and she was just a

0:43:29.719 --> 0:43:32.440
<v Speaker 2>new mum and she said the course helped her so

0:43:32.600 --> 0:43:36.720
<v Speaker 2>much just to find herself again, like just to find

0:43:36.800 --> 0:43:40.480
<v Speaker 2>that sense and clarity of who she was. And so

0:43:40.719 --> 0:43:43.800
<v Speaker 2>it's just, yeah, it's a formula where you can up level,

0:43:44.040 --> 0:43:46.400
<v Speaker 2>you can try something new, you can step out of

0:43:46.520 --> 0:43:48.920
<v Speaker 2>your comfort zone, and we do it with a group,

0:43:49.000 --> 0:43:52.600
<v Speaker 2>so it is so supportive and oh my god, the

0:43:52.880 --> 0:43:56.800
<v Speaker 2>energy in this group is just it's yeah, it's contagious

0:43:56.880 --> 0:44:00.800
<v Speaker 2>and it's electric, and it's it's really amazing. It's completely

0:44:00.920 --> 0:44:04.239
<v Speaker 2>my passion projects. So I'm really excited. We will be

0:44:04.360 --> 0:44:10.240
<v Speaker 2>doing an enrollment probably January or February. I haven't got

0:44:10.280 --> 0:44:13.799
<v Speaker 2>complete details yet, but definitely coming in twenty twenty one.

0:44:13.960 --> 0:44:16.440
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, we've done two rounds already and just had

0:44:16.480 --> 0:44:20.640
<v Speaker 2>the most amazing testimonials and reviews, So that's kind of

0:44:20.680 --> 0:44:22.879
<v Speaker 2>definitely what I'm focusing on. For the new year.

0:44:23.440 --> 0:44:25.960
<v Speaker 1>Well that's so exciting. Well, thank you so much for

0:44:26.040 --> 0:44:27.840
<v Speaker 1>joining us. I literally could listen to you talk the

0:44:27.880 --> 0:44:29.880
<v Speaker 1>whole time. I felt so at zen when you were talking.

0:44:29.880 --> 0:44:32.359
<v Speaker 1>Then I was like, yes, just taking everything. I felt

0:44:32.360 --> 0:44:34.480
<v Speaker 1>so at peace. You need to do the online course? Yeah,

0:44:34.480 --> 0:44:36.960
<v Speaker 1>I know, I'm not so motivated after hearing your talk.

0:44:38.280 --> 0:44:41.600
<v Speaker 2>Let's just say so. There's like videos for each module

0:44:41.719 --> 0:44:44.680
<v Speaker 2>and I talk for like two hours, So I do it.

0:44:44.960 --> 0:44:48.360
<v Speaker 2>I think we I think the audience can realize Georgie

0:44:48.400 --> 0:44:51.200
<v Speaker 2>is a chatter. She loves to chat. So I appreciate

0:44:51.200 --> 0:44:53.839
<v Speaker 2>that because I never know if I'm talking too much.

0:44:53.840 --> 0:44:55.759
<v Speaker 2>But I guess, you know, you guys are interviewing me,

0:44:55.840 --> 0:44:58.279
<v Speaker 2>so I went, you're going.
