Speaker 2: Driving to work.
Speaker 3: Yes, I'm like, it's gonna be a good day love. Yeah.
Speaker 3: What's your recommendation? So?
Speaker 1: Something I did at the start of the week, and
Speaker 1: I will keep you updated if I stick to it
Speaker 1: is Sorry, guys, I've got like a block no, so
Speaker 1: I probably sound a bit weird. I'm just getting over
Speaker 1: a sickness, but I overhauled my calendar.
Speaker 2: Oh so me and Ellie sat down.
Speaker 1: If you guys don't know, Ellie is my EA executive
Speaker 1: assistant and she helps me out with content and all
Speaker 1: the life things.
Speaker 2: And she had an intervention with me the other day.
Speaker 1: And I have I have a calendar and I plan
Speaker 1: things out and I have meetings in there. But there'll
Speaker 1: be a meeting on the same time of another meeting,
Speaker 1: and I'll just accept it. It will just be in
Speaker 1: my calendar and it won't be till the time and
Speaker 1: someone's like, I've got a meeting with you, and then
Speaker 1: the other person's like, I've good a meeting with you.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, oh, this is a dilemma. Just wasn't
Speaker 1: good at like keeping my calendar. So what we've done
Speaker 1: is we have And then also I was complaining to
Speaker 1: her about I have I feel like I'm on a
Speaker 1: hamster wheel.
Speaker 2: I feel like because what I.
Speaker 1: Do at work is I'm not really in the doing
Speaker 1: anymore because I'm more I do approvals and I have meetings,
Speaker 1: Like my whole weeks is meetings. I pitch my vision
Speaker 1: idea and then we have an amazing team who implement it,
Speaker 1: and then I approve, we go back and.
Speaker 2: Forth, blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so my whole week is those sorts of meetings,
Speaker 1: and so I feel like my whole calendar was just
Speaker 1: like a random meeting here and a random meeting there,
Speaker 1: and then I'd like randomly do emails and there's all
Speaker 1: these wearing a certain hat, and I didn't have my
Speaker 1: creative time, which I winch about all the time. So
Speaker 1: I didn't have my creative time in there. It's not
Speaker 1: like I have my workouts in there. It's not like
Speaker 1: I have my self care time. And then I'd always
Speaker 1: been like double booked and feeling flustered and just not good.
Speaker 1: So Ellie's like, I'm going to take control of your calendar.
Speaker 1: And what we've done is Thursdays, I've booked in my
Speaker 1: weekly check ins with the whole team. So literally my
Speaker 1: whole day from eight till you know, four pm is
Speaker 1: like back to back meetings of check ins. And what
Speaker 1: I'm going to try and stick to is doing my
Speaker 1: approvals and admin with everyone that day. And then it's
Speaker 1: kind of like you're not going to chat to me
Speaker 1: until next sersay yaha ya, no, no of course that's
Speaker 1: like not going to be viable. Yeah, But it's more
Speaker 1: just trying to have that time so people know, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to randomly like go into Georgie's office,
Speaker 1: even though I just said you could it here. But
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, keeping things being ahead and having
Speaker 1: that like really.
Speaker 3: Set time because then you won't ning it other time exactly.
Speaker 1: And I think what has gone wrong here is I
Speaker 1: M a bit elusive, So people are always like having
Speaker 1: to chase me or they will just have to pop
Speaker 1: their headings.
Speaker 2: We have it like I never go to their meeting.
Speaker 1: Because she's got three meetings because I've got three meetings
Speaker 1: on at the same time. So I'm trying to be
Speaker 1: like really strict, really have enough time for everyone, but
Speaker 1: it be put into the calendar and have those boundaries.
Speaker 2: I guess.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So we're going to.
Speaker 2: See how that goes.
Speaker 1: And then every Friday, me and Ellie are going to
Speaker 1: have a call where we go over the next week
Speaker 1: we confirm. For example, if I've got a podcast for recording,
Speaker 1: it's like have you confirmed it with that person? Is
Speaker 1: it definitely happening? So Ellie will like email you know,
Speaker 1: Jamie or my other meetings, confirm them, and then from
Speaker 1: there we'll book in when I'm going to gym, when
Speaker 1: I'm going to have some down creative time to like,
Speaker 1: you know, think of whatever I want to do or
Speaker 1: the vision of the business, rather than just stuck in.
Speaker 2: The rivals to do lists.
Speaker 3: If that makes sense, that's really clever.
Speaker 2: I will update you, guys.
Speaker 1: But that's what I'm recommending is doing like a calendar
Speaker 1: overhaul and being like this weekly recurring meeting in there?
Speaker 1: Am I actually doing it? Is this productive? Do I
Speaker 1: need to put in something recurring? You know?
Speaker 2: Blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, do a bit of a overhaul, a bit of
Speaker 1: a spring clean of the old calendar.
Speaker 3: Love that.
Speaker 1: On that note, guys, A Lance get into a Life
Speaker 1: Happens for Me episode.
Speaker 2: First one. I was twenty.
Speaker 1: Four and never had a boyfriend. I moved to Australia
Speaker 1: from London. Met this guy two weeks after I landed.
Speaker 1: We've now been together eighteen years.
Speaker 3: I think I'm gonna cry in this episode.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, A tears literally, Oh my god, You're okay.
Speaker 1: I think so sweet the universe needed me to move
Speaker 1: countries to meet my soulmate.
Speaker 2: That's so sweet.
Speaker 3: Watering up.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's going to make me water up,
Speaker 1: but I think there'll be some that'll make you water Okay,
Speaker 1: love that, And you know what.
Speaker 2: I just want to say on that quickly. Yeah, she
Speaker 2: wasn't worried. No, she wasn't worried. Fucking twenty four, that's
Speaker 2: still very young.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I think people feel like it's not as
Speaker 3: soon as you hit like twenty one and you haven't
Speaker 3: been in a relationship.
Speaker 1: It's like the big deal, one hundred percent. When you've
Speaker 1: never had a relationship, you don't realize.
Speaker 2: How shit they can be.
Speaker 3: And this would have been her first relationship.
Speaker 2: Oh I love that. Eighteen years. We love that life
Speaker 2: happens for you.
Speaker 3: Okay. The second one bit of a long one love
Speaker 3: Hi ladies. My story of when I truly realized the
Speaker 3: universe had my back. For two and a half years,
Speaker 3: my husband and I tried for a baby and absolutely
Speaker 3: nothing happened, And nothing was wrong medically with either of us.
Speaker 3: It just wasn't happening, much to our sadness. After one
Speaker 3: and a half years of trying, I was offered a
Speaker 3: new role at work, which was a huge pay rise
Speaker 3: and wonderful opportunity. With this additional money, we finished huge
Speaker 3: amounts of renovations. At the end of the financial year,
Speaker 3: I was also given a huge bonus pay. I felt
Speaker 3: so incredible. I treated myself to a lux handbag for
Speaker 3: the first time. I love that for you. My husband
Speaker 3: and I went to dinner to celebrate the big bonus,
Speaker 3: and for the first time we spoke about things that
Speaker 3: are meant to be. I said, perhaps the universe hadn't
Speaker 3: allowed a baby into our lives, because then I would
Speaker 3: have had missed my incredible work opportunity. Our house would
Speaker 3: have still been very hard work, especially to juggle with
Speaker 3: a baby, and we were just feeling this amazing ease
Speaker 3: and flow of life together. Two days later, I had
Speaker 3: this strange feeling to do a pregnancy test, the first
Speaker 3: I'd ever done. I was pregnant. We now have the
Speaker 3: most perfect baby in our lives. I know the universe
Speaker 3: had our backs and was as much as we didn't
Speaker 3: really want to times be patient, everything came into line
Speaker 3: and I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm so grateful.
Speaker 3: Also another secret little side note, I'm doing the project
Speaker 3: and loving it. Some of what I'm manifesting includes stepping
Speaker 3: into my new self as a working mother and also
Speaker 3: being a boss at work with significant pay rise. I
Speaker 3: returned it to work on Monday, and after some discussions
Speaker 3: and negotiations today was offered a new bonus structure which
Speaker 3: can boocet my current pay by very significant figures.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I know.
Speaker 3: I love this so much.
Speaker 2: I got shivers, mean too.
Speaker 1: I can obviously resonate with this a lot because we
Speaker 1: had to be so patient with our trying to conceive journey,
Speaker 1: and as much as I hated it at the time,
Speaker 1: with hindsight, I can look back and also say the
Speaker 1: same things of like, I don't know, I think the
Speaker 1: universe this is going to sound quite cruel, especially if
Speaker 1: you ask someone who's trying to conceive and it's not happening.
Speaker 1: I think life gives you a baby at the perfect
Speaker 1: time for you and your you know everything, and like,
Speaker 1: I couldn't imagine that too, and half years is long.
Speaker 3: But I'm just so happy for them, mean too.
Speaker 2: It's so sweet.
Speaker 3: And I think as well, especially with this one, while
Speaker 3: you're in the think of it, it just would be
Speaker 3: so hard to make sense of it. But as soon
Speaker 3: as you can look back, it's like, oh.
Speaker 2: Yes, love, life happens for you.
Speaker 3: Okay, guys.
Speaker 1: The next one, life happens for me, not to me story.
Speaker 1: Our company got made redundant, which at the time everyone
Speaker 1: was super upset and.
Speaker 2: Freaking out about losing their jobs.
Speaker 1: Of course, I was a little worried, but kept my
Speaker 1: call and embraced the change. Go you, because I wouldn't
Speaker 1: have literally everything felt a bit scary for a bit.
Speaker 1: The new company who bought out the old owners saw
Speaker 1: my mature attitude and not just rehired me, but promoted
Speaker 1: me and moved me to a bigger location which was
Speaker 1: closer to home. So I got a redundancy payout, a promotion,
Speaker 1: a pay rise, found way more enjoyment out of my
Speaker 1: job and less travel time to work. I used my
Speaker 1: payout towards my house deposit, which propelled me to my goals.
Speaker 1: I was subconsciously manifesting at the time.
Speaker 3: I love this one.
Speaker 2: I love this so much.
Speaker 3: Life happens for you, Okay. I was feeling very stuck
Speaker 3: and unfulfilled in my job. I knew I needed a
Speaker 3: change and craved a new chapter. So I started applying
Speaker 3: for many jobs for many different companies, but I always
Speaker 3: got knocked back before the interview stage. One of my
Speaker 3: last jobs I applied for was looking promising, and deep
Speaker 3: down I just felt this was the one, but once
Speaker 3: again I didn't make interviews. At this point, I was
Speaker 3: feeling very defeated and started thinking I would never get
Speaker 3: out of the job that no longer served me. I
Speaker 3: started having thoughts like who am I to think I
Speaker 3: am better than the job I have, and really doubted
Speaker 3: and questioned my worth. Then I came across the R
Speaker 3: and C poty, and after binge listening for a whole weekend,
Speaker 3: I realized I was clinging on too tightly to the
Speaker 3: idea of leaving my job and starting a new career.
Speaker 3: I was being unnecessarily desperate and trying to force it
Speaker 3: into fruition. After coming to this realization, I sat down
Speaker 3: and said to the universe, this is what I want,
Speaker 3: and if it is meant for me, then I trust
Speaker 3: you will bring it to me when the time is right.
Speaker 3: I completely surrendered to the idea that if it is
Speaker 3: meant to be, it will be, and perhaps the jobs
Speaker 3: I applied for so far just weren't meant for me
Speaker 3: and something better is coming. The very next day I
Speaker 3: got a call saying a candidate had pulled out of
Speaker 3: the recruitment for the job I had felt was the one,
Speaker 3: and I was now invited to attend an interview. After
Speaker 3: that interview, I was flagged as being more suited to
Speaker 3: another role and was asked to come in for a
Speaker 3: second interview for a job I didn't even apply for,
Speaker 3: got paid more, and was more aligned with my long
Speaker 3: term career goals. I was offered the position for the
Speaker 3: second job only three hours after my interview and was
Speaker 3: asked to start as soon as possible. I truly believe
Speaker 3: if every experience in life is designed to teach us
Speaker 3: a lesson, and I believe the universe was trying to
Speaker 3: show me that I needed to start believing in my
Speaker 3: worth and as a control freak proof it is okay
Speaker 3: to let go of the exact details because everything will
Speaker 3: always happen as it's supposed to, and I should add
Speaker 3: I believe I had to learn that lesson before the
Speaker 3: next step could be unlocked, so I could move into
Speaker 3: the next chapter with a new mindset that facilitates the
Speaker 3: next level self that lives in that chapter.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I love this so much.
Speaker 1: I love to she the way she articulated that my
Speaker 1: story was beautiful, so beautiful, that is perfect. Do you
Speaker 1: believe that a Tia that to get to the next
Speaker 1: level you have to first learn the lessons of this level.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, And I think that it'll keep coming to you
Speaker 3: in different ways. So if you feel like you're on
Speaker 3: a merry go round of the same sort of negative
Speaker 3: situation coming up, or like the same area of your
Speaker 3: life not working out, then something needs to change there.
Speaker 2: Ah, one hundred and ten percent.
Speaker 1: Hey, and I love what you said about it will
Speaker 1: come up in different ways, but it's almost the same thing.
Speaker 3: Yeah. It's like, if you need to learn more about
Speaker 3: your worth or you need to learn to step up,
Speaker 3: you'll be given millions of opportunities to step up, and
Speaker 3: if you don't, you're gonna keep missing it until you
Speaker 3: do it.
Speaker 1: And I think the big thing about you know, this
Speaker 1: whole segment of life happens for you, is when negative
Speaker 1: shit happens to you, and it like constantly happens. There
Speaker 1: has to be a point where you stop and you're like,
Speaker 1: hang on, this can't actually be negative, but like, what
Speaker 1: is the universe trying to teach me here? And I
Speaker 1: love that she came to this realization, and I love that.
Speaker 2: It happened like two days after.
Speaker 3: I know.
Speaker 1: That's like a running theme in all these messages is
Speaker 1: them having this big realization, surrendering and being like fucking
Speaker 1: next day, yeah, literally the next day, which it doesn't
Speaker 1: always happen like that, so please don't get that.
Speaker 2: In your head. Oh.
Speaker 1: I love that life happens for you, all right, guys,
Speaker 1: this next one is about having endometriosis, and you could
Speaker 1: like think about this from any health issue. I guess so,
Speaker 1: she explained. Honestly, it changed my life. Of course, it
Speaker 1: can be super painful, exhausting and also frustrating, but I
Speaker 1: also started to take way more care of myself, started
Speaker 1: my healing journey on my body, mind, and soul level,
Speaker 1: and started to set healthy boundaries. Without this disease, I
Speaker 1: wouldn't be where I am today. I started to take
Speaker 1: more care of myself. I started to say no, I
Speaker 1: started my personal development journey and coachings, and now I
Speaker 1: am building my own holistic healthcare and coaching business. The
Speaker 1: magic happens when we accept that life happens for us,
Speaker 1: not to us.
Speaker 3: I love this one so much.
Speaker 2: So beautiful.
Speaker 1: I can just say, anytime you have a health issue,
Speaker 1: instead of trying to treat that like really direct part
Speaker 1: when you try and I guess, treat it as a
Speaker 1: whole and really look holistically in your life what's happening
Speaker 1: is huge. I experienced the exact same thing when I
Speaker 1: got my implants out, because I, oh, yes, for years
Speaker 1: I kept trying to treat that, Oh I'm tired all
Speaker 1: the time, so it must be my iron levels, or
Speaker 1: oh I'm anxious all the time, so I'll see a psychologist,
Speaker 1: and like, all those little things of course helped. But
Speaker 1: it's like I had to actually go through a lot
Speaker 1: of pain and a lot of these little situations to
Speaker 1: then step back and be like, let's see the bigger
Speaker 1: fucking picture here, And then it led me to you know,
Speaker 1: so many other things.
Speaker 3: But I love that.
Speaker 2: I love this.
Speaker 1: I think also her just having I guess the realization
Speaker 1: that going through pain can actually come out really beautiful
Speaker 1: is like, I don't know, really nice.
Speaker 2: I feel like a lot of people, can you know resonate.
Speaker 3: With that, Yeah, life happens for you, Okay, our next one.
Speaker 3: I was having this conversation with my boyfriend just the
Speaker 3: other day in December twenty twenty, gen Atkin posted about
Speaker 3: writing intentions for twenty twenty one, and something pulled me
Speaker 3: to write my own. One of the intentions or desires
Speaker 3: was to be in a loving relationship with a kind man.
Speaker 3: I wrote this on the thirty first of the twelfth,
Speaker 3: twenty twenty. I met my boyfriend, my person, my penguin
Speaker 3: on the twenty eighth of feb twenty twenty one. However,
Speaker 3: he had just gotten out of a four and a
Speaker 3: half year relationship who he broke up with on the
Speaker 3: first of the first, twenty twenty one, literally the day
Speaker 3: after I put into the universe what I desired.
Speaker 2: That's weird.
Speaker 3: I love my mind and her second one she sent.
Speaker 3: I recently qualified as an attorney. The firm where I
Speaker 3: trained had a qualified position open. Myself and another colleague
Speaker 3: interviewed for it, but I wasn't the successful candidate. Utterly heartbroken, however,
Speaker 3: in the weeks leading up to their decision, I was
Speaker 3: doing Georgie's manifestation meditation. If not this, then something better.
Speaker 3: Two days after being rejected by the firm I worked
Speaker 3: at for three and a half years, I had two
Speaker 3: offers from other firms, and I'm now at a firm
Speaker 3: who value their employees, and I am the happiest I've
Speaker 3: ever been. Life definitely happens for me.
Speaker 2: Ah, I could scream that too. That's really really incredible.
Speaker 1: And I don't know if I've ever told you this
Speaker 1: the story a TIA, but the firm where I did
Speaker 1: my grad law grad and like placement of when I
Speaker 1: was doing like my PLT and stuff. Yeah, a big
Speaker 1: decision that made me like stop doing law and go
Speaker 1: off and like do my own thing was I was
Speaker 1: working in family law, and I obviously wanted to keep
Speaker 1: working in family law with the team I had been working.
Speaker 2: With for like three years.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they didn't have budgets. So if I wanted
Speaker 1: to stay at that firm, I couldn't work in the
Speaker 1: team that I was like currently working with, and I'd
Speaker 1: get put somewhere else or like have to find a
Speaker 1: job somewhere else. So that was like one of the
Speaker 1: big nudges. And I was like, nah, fuck that, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna just have a break and like see what happens.
Speaker 1: So imagine that if I had actually and I was
Speaker 1: obviously super like devo because I've worked with this team
Speaker 1: for three years and you're saying I don't have a.
Speaker 3: Full time base here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so I felt super like ego was, you know, crushed.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: But now looking back, it would have been interesting to
Speaker 1: see what I would have done if I had got
Speaker 1: that full time position in that team, because it would
Speaker 1: have felt really comfortable, yeah, and like a really cool opportunity.
Speaker 2: So I always wonder about that.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2: So you know, rejection is redirection. We love it.
Speaker 3: I love that life happens for you.
Speaker 1: This story happened in twenty eighteen and was the reason
Speaker 1: I got really into the Rise and Conquer Potty. I
Speaker 1: didn't start listening in to twenty nineteen ish. So it
Speaker 1: was year twelve, my second to last year of high
Speaker 1: school here. My French class was going to a trip
Speaker 1: in New Caledonia, and I was so excited.
Speaker 2: I had been working and.
Speaker 1: Saving for a year to pay for it. Everything was organized,
Speaker 1: All my permission slips were ready and signed, and I
Speaker 1: had a travel body and a host family organized.
Speaker 2: I was all set to go. However, I had.
Speaker 1: Been experiencing some severe mental and physical health issues from
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen to twenty eighteen. At this point, I was
Speaker 1: starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Speaker 1: Having the goal of going on this trip was huge
Speaker 1: motivator for me to get better. However, one month before
Speaker 1: the trip, the school called me in and basically forbade
Speaker 1: me for going. They thought my health would be a
Speaker 1: liability side note. My doctor, mum and all I disagreed.
Speaker 1: I was so upset because, like I said, this trip
Speaker 1: was a huge motivator for me. Tears of sadness, anger,
Speaker 1: and disappointment were definitely shed. My friend teacher pulled me
Speaker 1: aside one day and told me that this European specifically
Speaker 1: German proverb which goes when one door closes, a winn
Speaker 1: door opens. At the time, I didn't believe her. What
Speaker 1: could be better than this trip I'd been looking forward
Speaker 1: to for a year. Flash forward literally two weeks and
Speaker 1: I get an offer to apply for a scholarship for
Speaker 1: a six month exchange to France. At first, I was hesitant.
Speaker 1: I'd never traveled before, never been on a plane, never
Speaker 1: lived away from my mum. But I took the leap
Speaker 1: of faith because I believed this was my window. I
Speaker 1: applied and a few weeks later I found out I
Speaker 1: received the scholarship. I felt like such a beautiful full
Speaker 1: circle moment. If I had gone on the trip to
Speaker 1: New Caledonia with my class, I would have spent all
Speaker 1: the money I'd save and wouldn't have been able to
Speaker 1: fund my exchange. I went on exchanged, learn grew and
Speaker 1: flourished so thoroughly. It definitely changed my life and my
Speaker 1: worldview on life now. The concept of when one door closes,
Speaker 1: a window opens is so ingrained to me. If an
Speaker 1: opportunity passes, I trust the universe was bigger and better
Speaker 1: plans for me. Everything will fall into place. I just
Speaker 1: need to trust it. And then she just said, ps,
Speaker 1: thank you, Georgie. You played a huge role in my development.
Speaker 2: Oh, I appreciate you. I love that. That's really beautiful.
Speaker 3: That's one of my favorites. I think it's just so relatable. Yeah,
Speaker 3: because this is one of the ones where she'd been
Speaker 3: working probably extra shifts. It was her reward to reaching
Speaker 3: a goal. So she'd improved on her health and her
Speaker 3: mental health to be able to get on this trip
Speaker 3: and then for them to just a month out when
Speaker 3: she's ready, she's got her money, she's healthy to be like, oh, sorry,
Speaker 3: we're just pulling rank here, and you can't come.
Speaker 1: Yes, Yeah, and that feeling of like helplessness when someone
Speaker 1: pulls rank or like you know, in that situation and
Speaker 1: you're like what the fuck.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're like, I literally did all this work. Yeah,
Speaker 3: well this thing, and you're taking it away for not
Speaker 3: a good reason. But now she's got a reason. She
Speaker 3: got to go to France for six months.
Speaker 2: I love that.
Speaker 3: That's that's way better than New Caledonia.
Speaker 2: Way better. We love you New Caledonias.
Speaker 3: We do. We still love New I've actually been there.
Speaker 3: It's really beautiful. My sister's been there. It looks stunning.
Speaker 3: It is on my list. I recently manifested myself. I
Speaker 3: thought this one was really interesting too. I recently manifested
Speaker 3: myself into my current job and position. I manifested the
Speaker 3: job then into the store manager position. I thought it
Speaker 3: was exactly what I wanted dream job and position. But
Speaker 3: turns out I hate I don't like the company I
Speaker 3: work for, and I just don't like the job. I
Speaker 3: was questioning for a little while, why did the universe
Speaker 3: get me into this or let me manifest it when
Speaker 3: it's not for me? As Georgie says, manifesting will always
Speaker 3: work unless it gets you something else that will be
Speaker 3: better for you. I recently started Georgie's R and C
Speaker 3: course and have manifested myself a new job in a
Speaker 3: new company in a slightly lower position but better money.
Speaker 3: And it's literally my dream to work for this company.
Speaker 3: I've wanted to work there for over five years, but
Speaker 3: never applied because I didn't have the confidence. I finally
Speaker 3: realized three days ago why the universe helped me get
Speaker 3: my current job that I hate. If I hadn't had
Speaker 3: this job and the experience as the store manager, I
Speaker 3: would never have been able to qualify for this new
Speaker 3: job because I wouldn't have had the experience needed for
Speaker 3: this role. As much as I don't like the job,
Speaker 3: I'm extremely grateful for the universe that they put me
Speaker 3: here to get me where I wanted to go. I've
Speaker 3: always been a very big believer in everything happens for
Speaker 3: a reason, but this has just cemented that more. Love
Speaker 3: me too.
Speaker 2: What did you find interesting about it?
Speaker 3: I love how she went from questioning why she'd be
Speaker 3: allowed to manifest some not allowed, but like why she
Speaker 3: was given something that she hated and that she obviously
Speaker 3: manifesting is a lot of work and to get there
Speaker 3: and then be like, oh, don't love it, and then
Speaker 3: question like that would have just been a really interesting
Speaker 3: journey I think, And then yeah, that's so important, Like
Speaker 3: you need to go through it, not just to the end.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, guys.
Speaker 1: Next one, my best friend at the time of seven
Speaker 1: years cut me off when I was seven months pregnant.
Speaker 1: Took me a long time to realize it was really
Speaker 1: was for the best. And she was a horrible, toxic person,
Speaker 1: short and sweet.
Speaker 2: I love it the point.
Speaker 3: To cut me off.
Speaker 1: She was a bitch.
Speaker 2: No, I love that. This actually keep it in. That's
Speaker 2: the first time in tears ever saw on the podcast.
Speaker 1: Okay, so this recently happened to me. I'm going to
Speaker 1: explain a different story because I can't tell you the
Speaker 1: actual story for legal reasons.
Speaker 2: But let's just put it this way.
Speaker 1: So, the long term goal was I wanted to work
Speaker 1: for myself. Yeah, but I had a client who I loved.
Speaker 1: I loved working with them, and long term goal was
Speaker 1: always like I wanted to go off and work by myself. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but then I like, just completely run your own correct
Speaker 1: the whole correct.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So then this, you know client I loved, respect have
Speaker 1: a great relationship turns around and doesn't want to work
Speaker 1: with me anymore, and I'm like shocked and hurt. But
Speaker 1: then I remember, this is actually what you wanted long term.
Speaker 1: It's just come quicker. But I think it's because it
Speaker 1: happens to you rather than you're control. Yeah, you feel
Speaker 1: like a bit off guard, and I feel like this
Speaker 1: is what this person feels like. Absolutely, But I feel
Speaker 1: like in six months time, I'm gonna be like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's fine.
Speaker 3: Yeah that's what I wanted. I didn't have to be
Speaker 3: the bitch exactly like you got it without having to
Speaker 3: be mean. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I love that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've experienced this with friends, and that was like
Speaker 3: one of the lessons the universe taught me a couple
Speaker 3: of times. A couple of times she learned, there's a
Speaker 3: few dimes where it's the best, and then all of
Speaker 3: a sudden you're ghosted or something happens and they stopped
Speaker 3: talking to you, and you're like, what did I do wrong?
Speaker 3: And you just like try to hold onto this thing,
Speaker 3: and then as soon as you completely detach yourself from it,
Speaker 3: you look back and you're like, wow, they were mean,
Speaker 3: Like they won't never experience that ever. I did like
Speaker 3: my last year of high school and my first year
Speaker 3: out of high school.
Speaker 2: I think I went one hundred percent.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I forgot about high school, Like I must have
Speaker 3: gone through five or six Jesus. Yeah, Like in that
Speaker 3: two years, I was like, what is wrong with me?
Speaker 3: Why I just don't want to be my friend? Oh?
Speaker 3: Now I know better, now I know my work. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but like, yeah, it can completely relate to this, and
Speaker 3: it's like the best feeling. Once you're at the end
Speaker 3: of it and you look back, You're like, that friendship
Speaker 3: was not good for me at all.
Speaker 2: Love last one, let's do it.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh. I was engaged to an extreme narcissist
Speaker 3: that totally isolated me from all my friends and family.
Speaker 3: I had a full wedding booked and canceled it and
Speaker 3: walked away.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 3: I know, I knew I couldn't lie to myself anymore.
Speaker 3: I knew. It was a huge wake up moment for me.
Speaker 3: At the time, I was so embarrassed, broken, with no
Speaker 3: confidence in having been with a narcissist. I'm sure a
Speaker 3: lot of people can relate to how they break you
Speaker 3: down internally. After months of being single, recovering and trying
Speaker 3: to trying to figure out what just happened to me
Speaker 3: and my life was almost a horror story. I wrote
Speaker 3: a letter about the perfect love of my life. I
Speaker 3: quite literally wrote about him, down to his name and features,
Speaker 3: family and number of siblings, job, etc. I always joked
Speaker 3: saying he will turn up on my front door. I
Speaker 3: then met him a few months later, during the middle
Speaker 3: of the harshest lockdowns in the world. He literally turned
Speaker 3: up at my front door. That was how she left it.
Speaker 3: So we had to ask more in me like excuse me?
Speaker 3: I was like, is he your Uber Eats driver? I
Speaker 3: just couldn't figure out how in the lockdown he got
Speaker 3: to her door.
Speaker 2: Yeah, tell me more.
Speaker 3: So this is the whole story. Before we met in
Speaker 3: our own lives, we were both weirdly obsessed with the
Speaker 3: same restaurant in the city. Neither of us knew why.
Speaker 3: My friends would always be like, just go get a
Speaker 3: job there if you love it that much. And I've
Speaker 3: always said, it's not that I don't know what it is.
Speaker 3: I just think it's great. But I'm a photographer, and
Speaker 3: so I offered my work to them, and me and
Speaker 3: the owners became friends. And for him, his friends were
Speaker 3: saying maybe he was interested in one of the owners
Speaker 3: to take out, but he was not interested. And she
Speaker 3: is a lesbian with a partner, so absolutely no go.
Speaker 3: Because he's a boxing trainer, he offered his business to
Speaker 3: her too, and started to train her in boxing. We
Speaker 3: both had no idea about each other, though. At one
Speaker 3: point she mentioned I've got someone you need to meet.
Speaker 3: You'll be perfect together, and I said absolutely not. I'm
Speaker 3: not interested in a setup. Thanks, but no thanks. She
Speaker 3: said the same to him, and he responded the same.
Speaker 3: After a few months, I remembered his name and searched
Speaker 3: his business name, found his number and called him to
Speaker 3: discuss boxing. I left a voice message, and the next
Speaker 3: day he called me back. We were on the phone
Speaker 3: for forty five minutes and didn't even mention boxing. He
Speaker 3: said he knew at that point that unless I had
Speaker 3: two heads or was actually a man, he knew he
Speaker 3: would marry me. A week later we met to trade
Speaker 3: at my house and here we are in the middle
Speaker 3: of the harshest lockdowns in the world in Melbourne. We met.
Speaker 3: It happens. People need to know.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I am kidding.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 3: I can't get over this story. It's like the best story.
Speaker 2: Ever, I just you know what I love most about
Speaker 2: this what.
Speaker 3: Is how?
Speaker 1: She's like, we both just had this feeling about this
Speaker 1: restaurant of like we're infactuated with it, I know, And
Speaker 1: it's just like a restaurant having a melt.
Speaker 3: And it's like he's a boxing trainer. He it's so
Speaker 3: random for him to offer the owner of the restaurant
Speaker 3: free boxing.
Speaker 2: This whole story is random.
Speaker 3: Everything. There is no sense in this.
Speaker 1: And this is what I need you all to know.
Speaker 1: That's like me just going on agent, go for it.
Speaker 1: Don't worry about the how. The actual how is none
Speaker 1: of your business. It doesn't matter, and just don't get
Speaker 1: suck on it. Like when you have these huge, big desires,
Speaker 1: even if you're like, oh, but that could never happen
Speaker 1: because of this and that, it's like, look at it,
Speaker 1: this makes no sense.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I love That's actually such a good point. Guys,
Speaker 3: if you're ever struggling with the how, just come back
Speaker 3: to this episode and listen to this story on repeat.
Speaker 2: I just love how. Oh.
