Speaker 1: Hi, and welcome to the Rise and Conquer Podcast. I'm
Speaker 1: your host, Georgie Stephenson. I'm a lawyer, ten health coach,
Speaker 1: social media influencer, wife, and dog mum. On the Rise
Speaker 1: and Conquer Podcast, we dive deep into all things mindset, habits, career, health,
Speaker 1: relationships and more. This is a podcast for women who
Speaker 1: want to rise up to be the best version of themselves,
Speaker 1: who have big dreams in who are willing to put
Speaker 1: in the work to get there. I want to bring
Speaker 1: you the tools and actionable steps to feel confident in yourself,
Speaker 1: inspired to take bold action, and motivated to conquer your goals.
Speaker 1: Are you with me, girl friends, Let's rise and Conquer. Hi, guys,
Speaker 1: and welcome back to the Rise of Conquer Podcasts. Today's
Speaker 1: episode is a solo podcast and it's very unplanned and
Speaker 1: I'm kind of just feeling very inspired and I wanted
Speaker 1: to just jump on here and chat about it because
Speaker 1: today we are talking about a feeling that I get
Speaker 1: like a lot, and it's kind of weird, and I
Speaker 1: feel like it's this unspoken thing where a lot of
Speaker 1: women get it and it can't be super crippling, and
Speaker 1: basically it's a form of self doubt and it has
Speaker 1: an actual name. It's called imposta syndrome. So today we're
Speaker 1: gonna talk about impostera syndrome and how I've kind of
Speaker 1: dealt with it over the years, and how you guys
Speaker 1: can deal with it, because something that I realized when
Speaker 1: I spoke to Mel and spoke to other friends is
Speaker 1: we all feel it a lot, and sometimes it can
Speaker 1: really consume us. And when that happens, it often gets
Speaker 1: in the way of really rising up and conquering your goal,
Speaker 1: which we don't want. This is the Rising Conca podcast,
Speaker 1: So I'm going to talk about how you can get
Speaker 1: over imposta syndrome and how I do. Before we get
Speaker 1: into that, though, I do want to make a little
Speaker 1: announcement and this is very real time. So last week
Speaker 1: I announced and introduced a company that I founded and
Speaker 1: started with my big brother Cooper, that we have been
Speaker 1: working on for almost a year. It's an all natural,
Speaker 1: vegan sports supplement company that focuses on women. So I
Speaker 1: announced this last week and I was so excited to
Speaker 1: tell you guys. I announced it on Instagram and I
Speaker 1: was just so excited to tell you guys because we've
Speaker 1: been working on it for so long, and it's just
Speaker 1: been under wraps for obvious reasons, and I finally get
Speaker 1: to tell you, and I just wanted to go in
Speaker 1: a little bit about it, a little bit of a background,
Speaker 1: just because it does really tie into this episode, and
Speaker 1: then we'll get into the actual episode. But basically, this
Speaker 1: company started because actually there's two reasons. So I'm just
Speaker 1: going to tell you guys, going to be very raw
Speaker 1: and real on here. And so basically, as you guys
Speaker 1: know on Instagram, I hate this name, but I'm an influencer,
Speaker 1: which I'm doing with my air quotes, and so basically
Speaker 1: that means is I partner with brands and I will
Speaker 1: promote their stuff and something for me. I have this
Speaker 1: big process when I work with a brand of trying
Speaker 1: their product for a while and making sure I love
Speaker 1: their values and all this sort of stuff before I
Speaker 1: tell you guys about it. I actually get sent so
Speaker 1: much that you guys would just never hear about because
Speaker 1: basically I wouldn't use it myself, so you're not going
Speaker 1: to see it anyway. So I worked with this supplement company.
Speaker 1: This is a good obviously, like over a year ago,
Speaker 1: and it's no company I've worked with recently and I
Speaker 1: was taking their protein vegan protein. Loved it. I shared
Speaker 1: it with all us guys. Use guys loved it. Anyway,
Speaker 1: long story shorts, tests were done and I actually found
Speaker 1: out that they were lying on their packaging and they
Speaker 1: were lying about the ingredients inside, and I obviously dropped
Speaker 1: them as a partner, and I told all you guys,
Speaker 1: I told you guys on Instagram or one of my
Speaker 1: stories and all that sort of stuff. But that was
Speaker 1: just a kick in the teeth because at this time,
Speaker 1: me and my brother are very close. We were talking
Speaker 1: about all these subjects together and I just said to him,
Speaker 1: I was like, it's just really sucky because I believed
Speaker 1: in this brand. I really believed in their values, like
Speaker 1: I was really invested, and then I was telling you
Speaker 1: guys about it, and then something like this happens, and
Speaker 1: I just thought, surely, it's not that hard not to
Speaker 1: lie on your packaging to consumers and just to like
Speaker 1: make good stuff without having to sneakly put in sugar
Speaker 1: or you know, anything like that. So that was really disheartening,
Speaker 1: and I just thought, guys, the supplement industry needs to
Speaker 1: be better. And so that thought was all around my head. Also, guys,
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry Tim is mowing the lawn, So I'm
Speaker 1: sorry if you can hear that, But I was just
Speaker 1: feeling really inspired to record this episode, so hopefully you
Speaker 1: can't anyway back to it. And so another reason why
Speaker 1: I had this idea for this company is, as you
Speaker 1: guys know, I'm more of the fitness side of social media.
Speaker 1: So I kind of got into social media because of
Speaker 1: my health journey, and I've always been into health and fitness,
Speaker 1: and if you look back in the day at like
Speaker 1: my first sort of YouTube videos, I'm in the kitchen
Speaker 1: and I'm making my own pre workout because I basically
Speaker 1: couldn't find supplements that could do what I wanted them
Speaker 1: to do. I then also went through this period where
Speaker 1: I had to start thinking more holistically and I made
Speaker 1: a shift into having more holistic, wholesome products because I
Speaker 1: needed to because of my hormones and I had all
Speaker 1: these health issues and all that sort of stuff. And
Speaker 1: so basically for a while, I was just like, why
Speaker 1: isn't there supplements like focused on females that have really
Speaker 1: good active ingredients that aren't filled with fillers and filled
Speaker 1: with crap and no misinformation, and so this was a
Speaker 1: moment where I sat back and I was like, I
Speaker 1: want to change this anyway. I teamed up with my
Speaker 1: brother and obviously food techs and really amazing wholesome food manufacturers,
Speaker 1: and we have built this supplement company together. And it's
Speaker 1: so surreal because, like I said, we have been doing
Speaker 1: this for so long and I finally get to share
Speaker 1: my baby with you guys. And so our first product
Speaker 1: that we are bringing out is dropping very soon in May,
Speaker 1: and it's a pre workout plus fat burning blend designed
Speaker 1: with a woman's body and mind. So it's got no
Speaker 1: hidden nasties. It's a formula with ingredients to enhance your performance,
Speaker 1: but it's natural. It's got an epic tase, no crash,
Speaker 1: an effective fat burning component that is really focused on females.
Speaker 1: And basically, when I say it's focused on females, I
Speaker 1: really want to explain this part. So, because I love
Speaker 1: pre workouts, I've honestly tried them all and what I've
Speaker 1: really found is the natural ones didn't do enough of me,
Speaker 1: Like I really didn't get any sort of pre workout feelings.
Speaker 1: But the you know, the pre workouts which would work,
Speaker 1: which I'm putting again in air quotes would often be
Speaker 1: way too strong for my body, like for a woman's
Speaker 1: sized body, and I would get anxiety, I'd get the shakes,
Speaker 1: and then I would get a crash. So basically with
Speaker 1: this product, we did months of testing to find the
Speaker 1: perfect formula that in between where you actually get a
Speaker 1: feeling to smash your workout that puts you in a
Speaker 1: good mood. It's a mood enhancer. It gives you energy,
Speaker 1: but it isn't going to hurt and upset your nervous system.
Speaker 1: So it's not going to spike in anxiety. It's not
Speaker 1: going to get a crash at ten am. So that's
Speaker 1: kind of what I mean by female focused. So yeah,
Speaker 1: that's our first product. I'm so excited. We've been doing
Speaker 1: so many like test in samples and we've got the
Speaker 1: perfect formula, perfect formula, so I'm so excited. This blend
Speaker 1: is also like no artificial colors, flavors, or sweetness. It's
Speaker 1: vegan friendly and free from gluten, dairy and refined sugar.
Speaker 1: So it's just like this really good raw blend that
Speaker 1: actually works. The flavor. The first flavor is sweet strawberry,
Speaker 1: and then we have another flavor coming out soon. That's
Speaker 1: a bit under wraps, but there will be another flavor
Speaker 1: coming out soon too. So the first launch and drop
Speaker 1: for this is in May, and there will be a
Speaker 1: limited amount of stock. So me and Cooper have like
Speaker 1: really built this company from the bottom up. I haven't
Speaker 1: collaborated with another company, and they're sort of like doing
Speaker 1: all the work and like putting everything down. It's literally
Speaker 1: me and Cooper doing everything ourselves, which I love. That's
Speaker 1: exactly what we wanted to do. But obviously there will
Speaker 1: be more stock to come, but our first drop is
Speaker 1: the smallest. So if you want to be the first
Speaker 1: to know when we are launching and when you can
Speaker 1: get your hands on the first product from Naked Harvest,
Speaker 1: all you have to do is go and sign up
Speaker 1: to our newsletter. This will be so helpful for us
Speaker 1: because we'll be able to cater for everyone, and also
Speaker 1: you guys will be the first to know there will
Speaker 1: be any deals. And also with the newsletter, we will
Speaker 1: be sort of talking to you guys, so you know,
Speaker 1: when we want to bring out our next product or
Speaker 1: a new flavor, we're going to go to this email list.
Speaker 1: So it's really like a community and I'm really excited
Speaker 1: about it. So if you do want to be the
Speaker 1: first to know, please go to Georgie Stevenson dot net

Speaker 1: the first to know, you'll be in the Naked Harvest
Speaker 1: Gang and all those cool things. So yeah, it's a
Speaker 1: bit of adamin and exciting news to start the episode.
Speaker 1: But let's get into talking about imposta syndrome. So this
Speaker 1: really intertwines for obvious reasons, but I wanted to talk
Speaker 1: about basically what imposta syndrome is. So it is defined
Speaker 1: as the persistent inability to believe that one's success is
Speaker 1: deserved or has been legitimately achieved as a result of
Speaker 1: one's own efforts or skills. So basically, imposta syndrome is
Speaker 1: that feeling that even after you've got the promotion or
Speaker 1: you've had some success in life, you feel like you
Speaker 1: don't deserve it, or that you're like a fraud, or
Speaker 1: that you know it will be found out that you
Speaker 1: don't deserve this, and it really affects like high achievers
Speaker 1: and creators, and well, it really affects everyone. I actually
Speaker 1: did a bit of research and from an article in
Speaker 1: the International Journal of Behavior Science, it's estimated that seventy
Speaker 1: percent of people experience and positive feelings at some point
Speaker 1: in their lives, and it can literally be anyone. It's
Speaker 1: actually often more successful people experience it more, which is
Speaker 1: kind of weird when you think about it. So I
Speaker 1: really wanted to talk about this because this is a
Speaker 1: feeling I get all the time, and me and melwitchatting
Speaker 1: about this and she really gets it and she struggles
Speaker 1: to deal with it, and to be honest, I think
Speaker 1: it's something women often get because for some reason, we
Speaker 1: never think we are worthy enough of our success, which
Speaker 1: is so sad and basically then needs to be a change.
Speaker 1: We need to shift this mindset because it's holding us back.
Speaker 1: And so I wanted to explain to you guys' situations
Speaker 1: where I have felt this imposter syndrome and basically how
Speaker 1: I've dealt with that. I think I've got around five
Speaker 1: points that I will kind of go through. So let's
Speaker 1: talk about my experience and you can kind of think
Speaker 1: about your experiences in life and if you've ever felt
Speaker 1: these feelings. So I was thinking about it, and the
Speaker 1: first time that I felt impostera syndrome was in grade five.
Speaker 1: And so I grew up and I went to a
Speaker 1: public school. My three older brothers or went to public schools.
Speaker 1: I went to a public school. At this stage. My
Speaker 1: parents very much grew up like poor. I wouldn't say
Speaker 1: we were poor, but you know, we're just getting by
Speaker 1: when we were younger, and then things got better for
Speaker 1: my parents. But anyway, so we went to a state school,
Speaker 1: and I told my parents that I wanted to be
Speaker 1: a lawyer in grade five or four or something like that,
Speaker 1: and basically they asked me if I would like to
Speaker 1: go to a private school. They had, you know, they
Speaker 1: had enough money at this stage, and my cousins went
Speaker 1: to this private school, and I was like, yes, please,
Speaker 1: I want to do this. What a cool new experience. Anyway,
Speaker 1: I went to this private school and I just felt
Speaker 1: not good enough. I wasn't rich enough, I wasn't smart
Speaker 1: enough to be in the school. It's so weird because
Speaker 1: I was in grade five, so I was like really young,
Speaker 1: but I felt this feeling that basically I wasn't good
Speaker 1: enough to be in the school. And it's funny because
Speaker 1: I actually left the private school after three years and
Speaker 1: I went back to the public school where I felt
Speaker 1: really comfortable and did really well. Anyway, so that's the
Speaker 1: first time I experienced that. Another time is basically throughout
Speaker 1: my whole law degree. So in Australia or No, it's
Speaker 1: probably more just in Queensland. Basically you have to do
Speaker 1: this big test and then year eleven and twelve your
Speaker 1: sort of senior years. The marks you get decide if
Speaker 1: you go to university, if you get in the course
Speaker 1: you want to do. I wanted to do law and
Speaker 1: I needed an OP five and the ops go from
Speaker 1: one to twenty five, I think, so it was a
Speaker 1: pretty hard op and I worked extremely hard because I
Speaker 1: knew I wanted to do law, and I got an
Speaker 1: OP five, so I got in. That's what I needed,
Speaker 1: a five, and I got a five. Anyway, throughout my
Speaker 1: whole law degree, I felt not good enough. I felt
Speaker 1: like I wasn't smart enough. I felt like everyone else
Speaker 1: around me was smart enough. Even though I got the
Speaker 1: grades and I got accepted and I got into the university,
Speaker 1: I wanted to get into. I constantly felt like everyone
Speaker 1: was working harder, everyone was smarter, and basically like I
Speaker 1: wasn't worth enough to be there. Then I also got
Speaker 1: this feeling when I got my first clerkship at a
Speaker 1: really good law firm in the city. And how I
Speaker 1: got this job is a friend who I used to
Speaker 1: work at a real estate and a friend who worked there.
Speaker 1: He knew one of the principles and got me an interview.
Speaker 1: I had my interview and I got the job, and
Speaker 1: that brought on these feelings that even though I got
Speaker 1: the job, even though I did the interview and got
Speaker 1: the job, I wasn't good enough and I only got
Speaker 1: it because of who I knew. You know, I felt
Speaker 1: imposter syndrome. Then then I've also felt imposter syndrome basically
Speaker 1: throughout my whole kind of social media life. I'll put
Speaker 1: it in vert commas. So I've been on social media
Speaker 1: for seven years, and when my following was really growing,
Speaker 1: like I always felt these feelings, I was like, you know,
Speaker 1: and I think I've said this more than once, which
Speaker 1: it's funny, guys, because now I even say these things
Speaker 1: out loud. Like I realized how ridiculous. Some of my
Speaker 1: thoughts are, but I was, I'm gonna tell you. And
Speaker 1: so with social media, I always thought, there's so many
Speaker 1: prettier girls than me, Like there's so many girls with
Speaker 1: better bodies, there's so many girls who are putting out
Speaker 1: better photos, better content. I always like, and I've definitely
Speaker 1: said this, like two tim and two friends, I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm just so average, Like why would anyone want to
Speaker 1: follow me? And so I had so much Aposta syndrome
Speaker 1: around that even though you know, like I was increasing followers,
Speaker 1: people obviously liked my content. They obviously liked my photos
Speaker 1: and my videos and all that sort of stuff. And
Speaker 1: a lot of the time also my imposter syndrome, I
Speaker 1: thought to myself, Oh, I'm just lucky. Obviously sometimes a
Speaker 1: lut can be involved, but I really don't think people
Speaker 1: are just lucky, especially me, when I look back, and
Speaker 1: I look back how much I worked and was invested
Speaker 1: in everything that I did. Another thing that I felt
Speaker 1: imposter syndrome was on social media as I was getting bigger.
Speaker 1: And this doesn't happen often at all. It's not like
Speaker 1: I can't leave my house, but you know, if I'm
Speaker 1: out with my girlfriends or just like somewhere randomly, I'll
Speaker 1: have people come up to me and be like, hey,
Speaker 1: I follow on you on Instagram, I like the podcast
Speaker 1: I Love You YouTube's like that sort of thing. And
Speaker 1: every time I think to myself, this person has literally
Speaker 1: taken time out of their day to praise me or
Speaker 1: say hello to me, Like how am I even worthy
Speaker 1: of that? Like I'm just so me and normal, Like
Speaker 1: I just like I don't feel special enough for someone
Speaker 1: to do that, Like I feel it doesn't feel right
Speaker 1: to me. And then I felt it when I was
Speaker 1: leaving my corporate job and I was pursuing this job
Speaker 1: full time. I thought to myself, who am I to be?
Speaker 1: You know, this creative entrepreneur. You know I've done no
Speaker 1: degree in it. I've got a law degree. I can't
Speaker 1: be doing something like this, Like who am I to
Speaker 1: be doing this? And also I very much felt like
Speaker 1: everyone knew what they were doing, and because I was
Speaker 1: just winging it, that everyone else was somehow better than me.
Speaker 1: And that's also another thing with imposter syndrome is I've
Speaker 1: talked to people and I've found that you often feel
Speaker 1: like you think everyone else has it figured out and
Speaker 1: you're like the only one, whereas in reality, like everyone's
Speaker 1: kind of winging it. And then I felt it again
Speaker 1: when I made my ebook, I Find Your Healthy Ebook,
Speaker 1: I thought, who am I to do a cookbook? I
Speaker 1: only started cooking too years ago because I did not
Speaker 1: cook growing up, guys, like I begked a lot with
Speaker 1: my mom and I saw her cook a lot. But
Speaker 1: even when I moved out of home, like I got
Speaker 1: those like meals you put in the microwave, I only
Speaker 1: got into cooking like two years before I even made
Speaker 1: my cooking ebook, and I thought, who am I to
Speaker 1: do this? You know, I'm not a chef, blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: And then also because it's about intuitive eating and I
Speaker 1: had only you know, got over my food issues, and
Speaker 1: I thought, who am I to be doing this? I've
Speaker 1: only just got over my food issues. And then with
Speaker 1: the podcast, I thought, no one's going to even want
Speaker 1: to listen to a twenty four year old talk about
Speaker 1: these sorts of issues. They're not important. And then I
Speaker 1: felt it again when the podcast reached top charts, and
Speaker 1: I thought, like, there's podcasts out there that are way
Speaker 1: better than me, Like it's just these sorts are so
Speaker 1: consuming anyway. And lastly, oh my god, I had so
Speaker 1: much imposter syndrome when we were creating basically the whole
Speaker 1: process of Naked Harvest, and I just thought to myself,
Speaker 1: like constantly, like who am I to do this? Who
Speaker 1: do I think that I can just go and create
Speaker 1: this company and create a product, even though it's not
Speaker 1: like I did it myself. I did it with my brother.
Speaker 1: We outsourced, We've got professionals, food technicians, and we went
Speaker 1: through so many processes and so much time and effort
Speaker 1: and work. But the whole time, I just kept on
Speaker 1: thinking like, who am I to do this? When you
Speaker 1: think about it, everyone starts somewhere. So just because we
Speaker 1: are not the experts or the gurus, that doesn't mean
Speaker 1: we cannot do these things. And that's something I know
Speaker 1: a lot of you you're probably not doing something or
Speaker 1: not pursuing a dream because you're thinking, who am I
Speaker 1: to do this? I'm not valuable enough, I haven't got
Speaker 1: enough self worth, or like you know, who am I
Speaker 1: to do this? No one's going to care, no one's
Speaker 1: going to listen, no one's going to want this. I'm
Speaker 1: not good enough, which is like, guys, we are letting
Speaker 1: this impostas syndrome consume us and cripple us and it's
Speaker 1: just not okay. So let's get into how we can
Speaker 1: deal with this. So I've written down some dot points
Speaker 1: and these are just like little things that I will
Speaker 1: do when I'm having these feelings, So kind of sit
Speaker 1: with each one and see what works best for you.
Speaker 1: Like I kind of say in all my episodes, you
Speaker 1: really need to sort of try these things on and
Speaker 1: see what works best for you, because they're not all
Speaker 1: going to work and they're not going to feel right
Speaker 1: for everyone. But basically, something I want you to think
Speaker 1: about is realizing that you have control over your thoughts.
Speaker 1: So one of the first things I do is I
Speaker 1: take a step back and I go, Okay, this is
Speaker 1: a thought I'm having if I believe it. Because guys, remember,
Speaker 1: we create our own reality with our thoughts, so everything
Speaker 1: you are thinking, you then create your reality. So you
Speaker 1: can have this thought, and you need to decide whether
Speaker 1: you are going to believe it or not. So it's
Speaker 1: basically taking back the control and going, hey, look, I
Speaker 1: realized this is coming up for me. That's fine, observe it.
Speaker 1: It's kind of like I hear a lot in meditation
Speaker 1: about you'll have this thought come up and don't engage
Speaker 1: with it. You just observe it and you let it
Speaker 1: float by. That's also kind of the same thing here,
Speaker 1: So you observe you're having these feelings, you're having these thoughts,
Speaker 1: but don't let it consume you. You have this choice,
Speaker 1: and you are strong enough to make the choice and
Speaker 1: to pick the option to help you rather than to
Speaker 1: hinder you. So that's just kind of like a quick
Speaker 1: and easy thing. I know that's very much easier said
Speaker 1: than done, but I think that's even just being self
Speaker 1: aware enough to realize that you actually have control to pick.
Speaker 1: The next thing I want you to think about is
Speaker 1: to really trust in the process and the facts. So
Speaker 1: instead of listening to this negative voice in your head,
Speaker 1: listen to the feedback. You may actually have to like
Speaker 1: go and talk to someone or you need to look
Speaker 1: at the fact. So for example, when I got into
Speaker 1: this law firm, in this clerkship, I actually remember I
Speaker 1: got like a sort of like an admin sort of job,
Speaker 1: and then I actually got a law clerk job. So
Speaker 1: I actually went for two interviews and got both. This
Speaker 1: was a good six months after and I was like,
Speaker 1: now friends with everyone in the office and my boss,
Speaker 1: and I actually asked my boss and I was like, hey, like,
Speaker 1: why did you hire me? There's so many smarter people
Speaker 1: out there and you probably shouldn't say those words. So
Speaker 1: he explained, He was like, of course there's going to
Speaker 1: be smarter people out there, but that's not what I'm
Speaker 1: looking for. The department where I worked was family law,
Speaker 1: so we dealt a lot with clients who were upset,
Speaker 1: clients were going through hard times, and he was like,
Speaker 1: I knew you knew your stuff, you were really interested,
Speaker 1: you were really keen. I knew you could talk to
Speaker 1: a client and have that sort of personal connection with them. Also,
Speaker 1: I saw that you were very driven. So even though
Speaker 1: you might not be the smartest person in the room,
Speaker 1: I knew you would work hard enough to, you know,
Speaker 1: make sure you get the job done. And so basically
Speaker 1: having that feedback and having someone else objectively tell you
Speaker 1: it's nice because you're like, ah, Okay, I guess it's
Speaker 1: just reinforcement. Don't rely on it too much, but like,
Speaker 1: if you can get some sort of feedback that's not
Speaker 1: just like thoughts in your heads, it's actual objective feedback.
Speaker 1: That is amazing. And then also look at the facts. So,
Speaker 1: for example, my whole law degree, where I felt not
Speaker 1: good enough, the fact was I got good enough grades
Speaker 1: to get in and I got accepted, Like that should
Speaker 1: be like a full stop. And then also I got
Speaker 1: good enough grades to finish my law degree and like
Speaker 1: have my law degree, so obviously it is doing something right.
Speaker 1: So make sure you're looking at the facts and rather
Speaker 1: than than just thinking, actually look at the facts and
Speaker 1: be like, hey, no, I've got this. The bit twisted
Speaker 1: and I need to rein it in George's being dramatic again,
Speaker 1: because that happens. Okay, So the next thing I want
Speaker 1: you to also do. This kind of ties in with
Speaker 1: looking at the facts. But when self doubt creeps in,
Speaker 1: you need to do some reflecting and gather evidence of
Speaker 1: when you have done really well. And it's kind of
Speaker 1: like reminding yourself of your accomplishments and looking back at
Speaker 1: past accomplishments. And this will really help with new things. So,
Speaker 1: for example, with the social media stuff, when I felt
Speaker 1: really like who am I to be this social media person?
Speaker 1: I actually have these like screenshots of people who have
Speaker 1: messaged me saying like literally the most beautiful messages. I
Speaker 1: want to cry when I read them. I'm actually going
Speaker 1: to get one out now because you guys will get
Speaker 1: what I mean. Okay, so this is a screenshot. I
Speaker 1: love reading it, and this is actually to do with
Speaker 1: my ebook. So this is someone has written in after
Speaker 1: buying my ebook and they said, I've only had this
Speaker 1: for two days and have already learnt so much. I
Speaker 1: have an eleven month old son, and after having him,
Speaker 1: I was so strung up on losing my mum bod
Speaker 1: and going back to what I was. But you have
Speaker 1: taught me not to worry about size, my weight, or
Speaker 1: how I look. But most importantly, you've taught me to
Speaker 1: love and nourish my new body and to fuel it
Speaker 1: with what it needs. You're an amazing role model and
Speaker 1: I'm so glad I found your Instagram. I have such
Speaker 1: a different perspective on living healthy. Thank you so much.
Speaker 1: So basically, when I'm feeling not good enough on social media,
Speaker 1: like I haven't got the best content or the best
Speaker 1: photos or anything like that, like I go to something
Speaker 1: like this and I'm like, dude, this is what it's about.
Speaker 1: Like for me, I'm successful. For me changing someone's perspective
Speaker 1: on their body and healthy living. That just fulfills me
Speaker 1: so much. So I have stuff like that where when
Speaker 1: I'm not feeling good enough, I can go back to
Speaker 1: and sort of reflect and be like, no, it's in
Speaker 1: a reinforcement, but we do need this. So, for example,
Speaker 1: another good thing would be to like look back on
Speaker 1: past achievements. So if you have got into the degree,
Speaker 1: if you did win some award, if you did get higher,
Speaker 1: anything like that, it's really important to realize that these
Speaker 1: past things haven't just happened because of luck. It's happened
Speaker 1: because of you as a person. And this is also
Speaker 1: something that's really I need to do when I'm doing
Speaker 1: something new. So for example, especially doing their naked harvest thing,
Speaker 1: I had to really look back on other things and
Speaker 1: be like everything else I have done, especially like with
Speaker 1: my ebook with the podcast like such amazing feedback, because
Speaker 1: I do everything with such passion and I like to
Speaker 1: think that I do it for the right reasons. Like
Speaker 1: the ebook is because I wanted to help people with
Speaker 1: their relationship with food. The podcast because I wanted to
Speaker 1: help women who are going through the same things that
Speaker 1: I'm going through and who want to grow their minds
Speaker 1: and work on personal development. And you know, this new
Speaker 1: supplement line, this new supplement company, it's beg because I
Speaker 1: saw a gap in the market and I want to
Speaker 1: give you guys an awesome product that says that has
Speaker 1: packaging that is correct. Just throwing that in there, but
Speaker 1: I want to give out an awesome product that actually
Speaker 1: does what it says and has all these amazing natural
Speaker 1: active ingredients that like, it's not just a load of crap,
Speaker 1: which I know there is so much out there. So
Speaker 1: for me, especially when I'm up to something new and
Speaker 1: I'm feeling these imposts, really look on past achievements and
Speaker 1: reinforce that, no, you are a good person, you are worthy.
Speaker 1: This is a challenge, but you can do it another thing,
Speaker 1: And this is something I very pride myself on being
Speaker 1: real and authentic. But you need to realize that we
Speaker 1: are all constantly a work in progress. So we're constantly
Speaker 1: changing and growing, and this is an awesome thing, Like,
Speaker 1: this is an amazing thing. So the real you is
Speaker 1: always under construction. So even sometimes it's like I feel
Speaker 1: like a fraud because I don't feel authentic, but it's
Speaker 1: kind of like I'm progressing. So this is the new me.
Speaker 1: Your authentic self is constantly changing, so it doesn't always
Speaker 1: feel like your authentic self anyway. I hope that makes
Speaker 1: a little bit of sense. Another thing is really helpful
Speaker 1: is to share these feelings with trusted friends or you know,
Speaker 1: mentors kind of exactly what I'm doing now, Like I
Speaker 1: have this community where I really trust you guys with
Speaker 1: what I share, and I know by sharing this this
Speaker 1: is going to help others and sort of get you
Speaker 1: thinking and feeling about this and hopefully sort of progressing
Speaker 1: over this, because I know it can be super scary
Speaker 1: to get into these feelings, but it is really good,
Speaker 1: Like talk to your girlfriends or talk to your partner
Speaker 1: or your mom and dad and be like, you know, hey,
Speaker 1: you don't have to be like I'm not good enough
Speaker 1: and really make it dramatic, but you can sort of
Speaker 1: just be like, oh, you know, I feel like blah
Speaker 1: blah blah, and you'll often get that reinforcement. But it's
Speaker 1: also good to sort of have it out there. Even
Speaker 1: me before, when I was telling you guys about how
Speaker 1: I felt these imposter syndrome feelings, I almost felt a
Speaker 1: bit silly about the previous ones because they were obviously
Speaker 1: previous ones. At the time, they didn't feel silly, but
Speaker 1: now that I've talked about them and I'm even saying
Speaker 1: them out loud, I'm like, oh, that was a bit silly.
Speaker 1: So it's really good just to like get the thoughts
Speaker 1: out that I find. And basically the last point and
Speaker 1: the most sort of important point is realize that and
Speaker 1: this is obviously from my own personal experience, but any
Speaker 1: time imposta syndrome and these feelings of not being good
Speaker 1: enough or not being worthy enough have come up, and
Speaker 1: every time I get uncomfortable is usually the time where
Speaker 1: I'm just about to like do something fucking epic. I'm
Speaker 1: sorry for swearing, but that's why I mean, like, usually
Speaker 1: when these feelings come out, you're about to do something
Speaker 1: really exciting, You're about to make that next step, you're
Speaker 1: about to evolve, you're about to step up, and you
Speaker 1: need to shift your mindset. So when you're having these feelings,
Speaker 1: you're self aware enough to be like, Okay, I'm getting
Speaker 1: these imposter syndrome feelings. This means I'm progressing, I'm evolving,
Speaker 1: and basically get comfortable with being uncomfortable. So every time
Speaker 1: I feel this self doubt and I know now, like
Speaker 1: now after so much time, that it means like I'm
Speaker 1: about to break through a glass ceiling and push on
Speaker 1: to the next goal. I'm pushing boundaries and this is amazing. So,
Speaker 1: like I said, like looking back, anytime I've been uncomfortable,
Speaker 1: I've felt these feelings basically after something great has happened.
Speaker 1: And so now I'm totally comfortable with being comfortable because
Speaker 1: I know that good things are about to happen and
Speaker 1: I need to like work through these feelings. And also
Speaker 1: you need to realize that growing involving is oh my god, guys,
Speaker 1: It's what life is about, and so you should be
Speaker 1: striving to do this. So when you kind of you're
Speaker 1: self aware getting these feelings, get comfortable with them because
Speaker 1: often it means you're progressing as a person. So basically,
Speaker 1: in conclusion, we all have these feelings. We all get
Speaker 1: imposter syndrome like most of us, and especially women. I
Speaker 1: feel like this is really unique to women because I
Speaker 1: feel like in society we're really made to doubt us
Speaker 1: just for the sheer stuff. Like I was thinking, society
Speaker 1: it tells you you should be pretty, but if you
Speaker 1: think you're pretty, you're vain, and you know you should
Speaker 1: want to be driven, but not too driven because you know,
Speaker 1: males don't like women too driven. So in society we
Speaker 1: have all these things that basically make us second guess
Speaker 1: and doubt ourselves. So it is so normal to feel
Speaker 1: this way, but it's an important part to being aware
Speaker 1: of these feelings and progressing and basically even pushing them
Speaker 1: away or working through them and taking control. So the
Speaker 1: goal is like to not never feel like this, but
Speaker 1: it's to feel like this and up level to evolve,
Speaker 1: get comfortable with being uncomfortable, push the boundaries like I
Speaker 1: know we all can do. And my goal is basically
Speaker 1: with this is to give you the tools so you
Speaker 1: can do this, because that's something that I've really had
Speaker 1: to work on and push through. But oh guys, it's
Speaker 1: so worth it. Like I said, usually when you get
Speaker 1: this feeling, something great has happened and you really need
Speaker 1: to be brave and pushed through. That's about it, guys.
Speaker 1: I was just feeling really inspired to talk about this topic,
Speaker 1: so I hope it was relevant. I hope you got
Speaker 1: some insight and some tools. If you did, I love you, guys.
