Speaker 1: the tools that will inspire to take bold action, feel
Speaker 1: confident within yourself, and conquer your goals, then you've come
Speaker 1: to the right place. I'm your host, Georgie Stevenson. I'm
Speaker 1: a lawyer turned entrepreneur, co founder of Naked Harvest Supplements,
Speaker 1: and social media personality with a community of over three
Speaker 1: hundred thousand. I grew up believing I had to pursue
Speaker 1: the safe option and fit into a mold others had
Speaker 1: created for me. But then I entered my corporate law
Speaker 1: job and I realized that settling for a reality that
Speaker 1: didn't set my soul on fire was something I.
Speaker 2: Was not prepared to do.
Speaker 1: I want to more, and I have a feeling you
Speaker 1: do too. Join me and special guests weekly as we
Speaker 1: get down to the nitty gritty on all things health,

Speaker 1: and relationships, plus so much more, and together we'll gain
Speaker 1: the knowledge and perspective to pursue our wildest dreams and
Speaker 1: kick fear to the curb. Well what are you waiting for?
Speaker 1: Let's Rise and conquer, Hey guys, and welcome to another
Speaker 1: episode of the Rise and Conquer Podcast. Today, I decided
Speaker 1: I'm going to start a new series. I got inspired
Speaker 1: by me and Ida's Money series, and it's going to
Speaker 1: be like a boss babe series. And I know that
Speaker 1: word is super overused, I honestly just couldn't think of
Speaker 1: something different. And I don't mean a series where I
Speaker 1: just talk about business or anything like that. What I
Speaker 1: want to encompass with this is a boss babe in
Speaker 1: regards to someone who takes ownership of their lives, who
Speaker 1: lives very unapologetically, who is owning their shit, who is
Speaker 1: going out and taking the bold action and stepping into
Speaker 1: fear like this is what I mean by boss babe series.
Speaker 1: So let's get straight into it. And what I'm gonna
Speaker 1: do is I will just put a boss babe somewhere
Speaker 1: in the title anytime I do an episode that relates
Speaker 1: to this series. So this is obviously the first one,
Speaker 1: but laid it down the track. If you're looking for
Speaker 1: certain boss babe content, just search for that in the title. Okay,
Speaker 1: So I wanted to start this series off with basically
Speaker 1: chatting about giving yourself permission and taking that first bold step.
Speaker 1: So before I get into it those who don't know,
Speaker 1: I want to give a little background about where I've
Speaker 1: come from, because Georgie a couple of years ago is
Speaker 1: very different to Georgie now. So my background is I
Speaker 1: went straight from high school and I started a law degree,
Speaker 1: and during that law degree, I had my health and
Speaker 1: fitness journey, which then started my social media like my
Speaker 1: personal brand. And for so long it was just like
Speaker 1: this hobby, this thing I did in the side. It
Speaker 1: then turned into a bit of a side hustle, like
Speaker 1: I did start making small amounts of money here and
Speaker 1: there working with brands while I was at university, but
Speaker 1: mostly like it was just kind of like a side thing.
Speaker 1: And my big dream was to be a corporate lawyer,
Speaker 1: you know, city life, all that sort of thing. So
Speaker 1: I studied for six years and during that time I
Speaker 1: worked full time a lot in different law firms, and
Speaker 1: you know, did my social media stuff. And so the
Speaker 1: last couple of years towards probably like twenty sixteen to
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, I got a clerkship with a really good
Speaker 1: law firm in the city, and I worked there, and
Speaker 1: then I got into their graduate program, and then from
Speaker 1: their graduate program I got admitted. And so for so
Speaker 1: long I had this dream that I was going to
Speaker 1: be a lawyer.
Speaker 2: I had ticked all the boxes.
Speaker 1: I finished my degree, I got admitted, I did my PLT,
Speaker 1: and then right towards the end, like literally as I
Speaker 1: got admitted and would be starting my job practicing.
Speaker 2: Law, I quit it.
Speaker 1: And so it's funny because six months before that, I
Speaker 1: just had this completely pivotal kind of change with what
Speaker 1: I wanted. Because for so long, even when I kind
Speaker 1: of was making a bit of side money from my
Speaker 1: social media things and working full time, I even had
Speaker 1: people be like, you know, you could do the social
Speaker 1: media thing full time and like do really well, and
Speaker 1: I would literally say to them, no, that's it's not
Speaker 1: what I want to do. I want to be a lawyer,
Speaker 1: like I want this so bad. And then it's like
Speaker 1: one day I just woke up and I just started
Speaker 1: to want something different. And I strongly believe that we
Speaker 1: have these desires put on our heart for a reason,
Speaker 1: Like I'm personally not religious. I did grow up at
Speaker 1: Jehovah's witness, but I'm not religious anymore. But I do
Speaker 1: believe in sort of a higher power, something bigger than me,
Speaker 1: and I like to call it the.
Speaker 2: Universe, but it can really be anything.
Speaker 1: So if you're religious, it would be God, or if
Speaker 1: you're not, universe whatever. So I strongly believe that these
Speaker 1: desires are put on our heart from the universe, from
Speaker 1: God or whatever for a reason. And I strongly believe
Speaker 1: like they didn't get it wrong, like you don't want
Speaker 1: certain things for a wrong reason. And to be honest,
Speaker 1: I tried to fight it for a very long time,
Speaker 1: and I was like, no, Georgia, you're doing lawyer, You're
Speaker 1: doing law.
Speaker 2: You just study for bloody six years. You're doing this.
Speaker 1: And I really tried to like just like turn it down,
Speaker 1: and it just got too loud, and basically I decided
Speaker 1: to go off and do my own thing. I had
Speaker 1: no plans. I literally had no plans. I had nothing
Speaker 1: to kind of go off. I didn't even really know
Speaker 1: what I wanted to do at that point. I didn't
Speaker 1: have my ebook, this podcast, Naked Harvest, nothing, and so
Speaker 1: I left this like amazing job, like on paper.
Speaker 2: If you're a law graduate, you would know.
Speaker 1: You would be like, oh my god, Georgia, this is
Speaker 1: so silly. You literally had the dream sitting there and
Speaker 1: I turned it away and I decided to do my
Speaker 1: own thing. And it's so funny because I, like I said,
Speaker 1: it wasn't clear, but I just knew deep down in
Speaker 1: my knowing, Like I just knew that it would come,
Speaker 1: and I just had to surrender, and I just had
Speaker 1: this knowing and I trusted it and I took this
Speaker 1: massive leap of faith. It's not like it happened straight away.
Speaker 1: Like the first sort of thing that came out of
Speaker 1: my personal brand was my ebook, and that wasn't until
Speaker 1: eight months later. So I want to chat about this
Speaker 1: concept of giving yourself permission to do what you want
Speaker 1: to do and really stepping into the fear and taking
Speaker 1: that big first step in the direction where you want
Speaker 1: to go, where you truly desire to be, and what
Speaker 1: feels so authentically you. It won't necessarily like make sense
Speaker 1: to anyone else, but like deep down, you know, you're like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, I'm just like I'm supposed to be
Speaker 1: doing this.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I used to describe it to people like I feel
Speaker 1: like I'm in a fog and I can't see anything,
Speaker 1: Like it's fog. I can only see like one step
Speaker 1: in front of me, but I know it's leading to
Speaker 1: where I want to go. I hope that makes sense.
Speaker 1: So I want to chat about like I felt so
Speaker 1: scared during that time, and I know you guys might
Speaker 1: feel the same. Like maybe you are super scared to
Speaker 1: do what you truly want to do, or take this
Speaker 1: next step in your career or explore something different, and
Speaker 1: you're worried about well, you know what people might think,
Speaker 1: especially your loved ones, like what they might think of you.
Speaker 1: So maybe it's a career move, your dream job, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe you're worried that your parents won't accept that, or
Speaker 1: if you quit, you won't have enough money, or like
Speaker 1: all these things, Like all these doubts are coming up,
Speaker 1: and it's so normal.
Speaker 2: I've felt them all and it.
Speaker 1: Doesn't necessarily have to be anything to do with the
Speaker 1: career job. Like maybe you've realize that you're in the
Speaker 1: wrong relationship, or like just something isn't right in your
Speaker 1: life and you just have a knowing that you want
Speaker 1: something different. Hey, guys, I'm quickly interrupting this episode because
Speaker 1: I am so excited.
Speaker 2: Naked Harvest has.
Speaker 1: Just launched not one, but two new natural pre workout flavors,
Speaker 1: Juicy grape and lemon lime crush.
Speaker 2: How good does that sound. I'm personally all over the grape.
Speaker 2: I'm obsessed.
Speaker 1: It smells like hubba bubba and it tastes so good.
Speaker 1: If you're someone like me and you care about what
Speaker 1: you're putting in your body, and you have some fitness
Speaker 1: goals for twenty twenty, you need to get yourself some
Speaker 1: Naked Harvest natural pre workout. I'm sure you're sick of
Speaker 1: me talking about it, but this stuff literally.
Speaker 2: Transformed my workouts. It's proven.
Speaker 1: Formula has no hidden nasties, all natural ingredients, no synthetic stimulants.
Speaker 1: It will give you that natural energy boost, but without
Speaker 1: the crash, and of course it's vegan, gluten free and
Speaker 1: refined sugar free. Get ready to feel energized and strong.
Speaker 1: Join the NH game and feel free to use Rise
Speaker 1: and Conquer at checkout for a sneaky fifteen percent discount. Okay,
Speaker 1: let's get straight back into the episode. So I want
Speaker 1: you guys to think about knowing that you have something
Speaker 1: on your heart somethink you desire something you want to do.
Speaker 2: What would it.
Speaker 1: Feel like if you were fully supported in this decision?
Speaker 1: So just ignore the current reality and just have a
Speaker 1: think about Like, how would you feel if let's say
Speaker 1: your parents are like, yes, go travel, go be nomadic,
Speaker 1: go start that business, or you know, if you were
Speaker 1: just fully supported in this new desire, Like, how would
Speaker 1: that feel if everyone was on board? It just felt
Speaker 1: so right everyone was telling you to go for it,
Speaker 1: Like how would that feel to you? And I think
Speaker 1: a big thing to realize is what kills our dreams
Speaker 1: is this fear of judgment and it can really paralyze us.
Speaker 1: And I just want you to encourage you to imagine
Speaker 1: that you already have the permission to go off and
Speaker 1: do what you want. Take that next step, really step
Speaker 1: into who you want to be. Imagine everyone is on board.
Speaker 1: Imagine you're completely supported and everything is just lining up
Speaker 1: and it's happening for you. Because I'm telling you right now,
Speaker 1: it is it, truly is. You just need to decide.
Speaker 1: I'm a logical person. I am such a structured and
Speaker 1: logical person, and that decision looking back, like it makes
Speaker 1: no sense, But I just trusted the universe or whatever
Speaker 1: you want to call it. And I was just like,
Speaker 1: I know, deep down, I just need to follow this.
Speaker 1: I need to really align what feels good to me,
Speaker 1: because you know that feeling just like it feels right.
Speaker 1: And it's so hard to articulate and explain these things,
Speaker 1: these things, but I know you guys would know what
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. So I want to be the person
Speaker 1: who is giving you the permission. You can change your
Speaker 1: mind at any time for any reason. You don't need
Speaker 1: permission from other people, and you don't owe anyone in explanation.
Speaker 1: You just need to give yourself permission to boldly choose
Speaker 1: who you want to be, to transform and ascend into
Speaker 1: your most authentic self, whatever that looks like. Because when
Speaker 1: you do that, you really show yourself, and you show
Speaker 1: other people.
Speaker 2: You give other people that permission.
Speaker 1: So I guarantee my story of going from a lawyer
Speaker 1: studying six years, getting the job and being like right
Speaker 1: in the thick of it and making this crazy decision
Speaker 1: to go off and like can you imagine, like my
Speaker 1: parents and like my colleagues, when I'm like, hey, I'm
Speaker 1: not going to take this great opportunity and all I've
Speaker 1: worked for for six years and I have no idea
Speaker 1: what I want to do, but I just know it
Speaker 1: feels right for me. So I'm going to quit and
Speaker 1: work from home and do this weird internet social media
Speaker 1: business and just see what happens, like imagine my position
Speaker 1: and telling people that, Like, now that I look back,
Speaker 1: I'm actually so surprised I took the leap, because it's
Speaker 1: just so I'm not someone who does that. I am
Speaker 1: such a like structured logical person. But that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: If I can do it, you can do it. Don't
Speaker 1: ask what your parents think or your colleagues think, especially
Speaker 1: if you know it's going to be negative.
Speaker 2: Do what feels right for you.
Speaker 1: And like I said, I guarante Tea my decision and
Speaker 1: my story would show people and inspire people to go
Speaker 1: do the same. And that's what I mean by once
Speaker 1: you give your self permission and you do what you
Speaker 1: truly desire and what you want, you are showing other
Speaker 1: people that they can do the exact same. And I
Speaker 1: think that's really important because in this life it can
Speaker 1: often feel so alone and you can be like no
Speaker 1: one understands, no one gets me. But really we're not alone,
Speaker 1: and we're all going through these really sort of difficult things.
Speaker 1: And that's another thing is it's not meant.
Speaker 2: To feel easy.
Speaker 1: If you feel so uncomfortable a little bit on shore,
Speaker 1: like so fearful, you're onto something good. I guarantee you
Speaker 1: when I look back at anything and any time that
Speaker 1: I've really stepped out of my comfort zone into this
Speaker 1: like space of fear, massive shifts, massive change, and just
Speaker 1: big things have happened that have propelled me into where
Speaker 1: I need to be, and it just goes so much further. Okay,
Speaker 1: So before I leave you, guys, I want you guys
Speaker 1: to either just think about this as I'm telling you,
Speaker 1: or grab a journal. I'll get Grace to chuck these
Speaker 1: in the show notes, so you guys have them if
Speaker 1: you guys don't know, I do show notes for every
Speaker 1: single episode on my website, so it's just Georgie Stevenson
Speaker 1: dot net, n ET.
Speaker 2: And if you.
Speaker 1: Go into the podcast tab, there is a show notes
Speaker 1: tab and that's where where I put all the details
Speaker 1: of each episode. So I make sure I'll put the
Speaker 1: questions here. So I want you to really think about this.
Speaker 1: And I liked when I'm journaling, I like to set
Speaker 1: the scene. So like, I literally journaled this morning and
Speaker 1: I did some I lit a sage stick and I
Speaker 1: saged my offer and my desk and myself and I
Speaker 1: put on some really nice music on my Alexa speaker,
Speaker 1: and I made myself a coffee and I really got
Speaker 1: into this state of like surrendering, letting go and just
Speaker 1: getting really like inwards. And so like, when you're journaling
Speaker 1: and thinking about this, really set the scene.
Speaker 2: Give yourself the space.
Speaker 1: Say I don't have to do anything for half an hour.
Speaker 1: I shut my door because Tim was being noisy outside.
Speaker 1: And I really set the scene and got into it.
Speaker 1: And so I want you to think about these questions.
Speaker 1: Am I currently holding myself back in any way because
Speaker 1: I am unsure or scared of what others will think?
Speaker 1: So have a think. Journal whatever comes to mind. This
Speaker 1: is not wrong, nothing is wrong. Just write it down.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: I want you to think what would change in my
Speaker 1: life if I boldly stepped out into my most authentic
Speaker 1: self and did exactly what I desired? What would change?
Speaker 1: How would your life look.
Speaker 2: Next?
Speaker 1: I want you to think about, or write what would
Speaker 1: it feel like to give myself the permission instead of
Speaker 1: waiting or asking from others to do exactly what I
Speaker 1: want to do. What would that feel like? And when
Speaker 1: you write this, I also want you to sit in
Speaker 1: the feeling. Is it excitement, happiness, awness? How does that feel?
Speaker 1: I really want you to sit in it. And lastly,
Speaker 1: I want you to think about it all right, what
Speaker 1: would I be doing right now if I were doing
Speaker 1: exactly what my heart desires? What would I be doing?
Speaker 1: How would your life look what would your morning routine
Speaker 1: look like? What would your whole day look like? And
Speaker 1: this is important because a big thing about attracting what
Speaker 1: you truly desire and manifesting what you truly desire is
Speaker 1: getting clear on what that looks like. And so something
Speaker 1: I used to do is I used to think about
Speaker 1: these questions and write these sort of things all the time.
Speaker 1: So I talk about this a lot. For example, in
Speaker 1: the last six months of my law job, when I
Speaker 1: kind of knew I wasn't doing what I was supposed
Speaker 1: to be doing and I wanted something differently, I would
Speaker 1: sit on the bus and I would think about what
Speaker 1: would I be doing right now? What would my day
Speaker 1: look like if I was truly doing what my heart desires,
Speaker 1: and so I would think about what would my morning
Speaker 1: routine look like? And you know, I thought about I'd
Speaker 1: get up without an alarm because at that point I
Speaker 1: was waking up at five I think it was four
Speaker 1: thirty am, which is ridiculous, you know, Like I'd think
Speaker 1: about getting up without an alarm, having a bit of
Speaker 1: a slower morning, having my coffee, doing my journaling, doing
Speaker 1: my to do and then you know, going to gym.
Speaker 1: And then I would feel how would my day feel
Speaker 1: doing something I was so desired to do, Like how
Speaker 1: would that feel? I used to use the feelings of
Speaker 1: just like contentness and happiness, and then I thought about
Speaker 1: how would my weekends look and all that sort of
Speaker 1: th And it's super weird to say, but like what
Speaker 1: I thought about on that bus every single morning when
Speaker 1: I thought about, this is exactly how my life looks now,
Speaker 1: if not better. And so it's a couple years lady later,
Speaker 1: and I'm completely living out that, like you know, that
Speaker 1: dream or fantasy that I used to think about, and
Speaker 1: my life is so different and it just feels so right,
Speaker 1: It feels so me and I don't have to worry
Speaker 1: about what people think, and it's funny because now people
Speaker 1: are like, oh my god, of course you would make
Speaker 1: that decision. Of course you'd make that next step like
Speaker 1: you did so well, and they congratulate me. But that
Speaker 1: was so different when I made that big step. I
Speaker 1: guarantee even a lot of you, if you knew me
Speaker 1: back then, I guarantee some of you would have been thinking,
Speaker 1: what the what is Georgia doing, Like she's being crazy
Speaker 1: and erratic. But I like, now, look how my life
Speaker 1: looks and how and it's not so much how it looks,
Speaker 1: bit how it feels to me. It's just so important. Okay,
Speaker 1: I am going to love and leave you.
Speaker 2: Guys.
Speaker 1: I hope this was helpful, and I hope you're excited
Speaker 1: about the new Boss Babe series. I'm feeling so inspired
Speaker 1: and excited, Like I just I love chatting about this
Speaker 1: because all these things that I'm talking about are really
Speaker 1: what completely changed my life into exactly what I desire
Speaker 1: and how I feel now. And it's just so important
Speaker 1: for me to share this because it just has been
Speaker 1: so transformative for me. So yes, I'm going to love
Speaker 1: and leave you, and I'm hoping you're having a great
Speaker 1: day or night whenever you're listening, and I'll be back
Speaker 1: in your ears later on the week with a guess interview.
