Speaker 1: I'm someone who finds it so uncomfortable, but I sit
Speaker 1: with it and I feel it, and then I get
Speaker 1: the feeling out. And that has been a game changer,
Speaker 1: justin sort of feeling feelings and being more connected to
Speaker 1: my inner self. Hello and welcome back to the Riz
Speaker 1: and Conker Podcast. It is your host, Georgie Stephenson. As
Speaker 1: some of you may know, I'm currently on maternity leave,
Speaker 1: so Tim and I are soaking up the newborn bubble
Speaker 1: and new parent life with our little baby girl. But
Speaker 1: I did not want to leave my ron C fan
Speaker 1: with nothing, so we are back the best bits of
Speaker 1: the Rise and Conquer podcast. We have nearly over two
Speaker 1: hundred episodes, so I thought it would be a cool
Speaker 1: idea to bring you snippets from the most listened to,
Speaker 1: the most talked about episodes and just give you the
Speaker 1: best bits in a mini episode. So be prepared to
Speaker 1: get straight into juicy topics, to feel inspired, to feel motivated, empowered,
Speaker 1: and of course informed. These episodes are shorter, but they're
Speaker 1: just full of the best bits. If you did like
Speaker 1: this mini app, make sure you go to the show
Speaker 1: notes where we have linked the full episode. And I
Speaker 1: just want to say I really appreciate you guys still
Speaker 1: supporting the show while I'm taking some time off to
Speaker 1: enjoy Baby Girl, and I just can't wait to be
Speaker 1: back in your ears with fresh episodes in the new year.
Speaker 1: We have been planning the next season and there are
Speaker 1: so many exciting guests and surprises coming up, so I
Speaker 1: really hope you enjoy this mini episode. Let's get straight
Speaker 1: into the show. So number one, and it's nothing new
Speaker 1: or exciting, but this is very much a principle that
Speaker 1: I now live my life by, and it's everything happens
Speaker 1: for a reason, and I need to be trusting in
Speaker 1: the process. So the reason why I'm bringing this up
Speaker 1: is obviously I started my law degree and finished out
Speaker 1: for like six years. God admit, as a lawyer, did
Speaker 1: my pot and now I'm doing something so different and
Speaker 1: I often get asked if you know I regret doing that,
Speaker 1: and the answer is definitely no. I am such a
Speaker 1: big believer in that needed to happen for me to
Speaker 1: become the person I am today, and even kind of
Speaker 1: looking at it a little bit closer, like the skills
Speaker 1: I developed through working for the law firm I did
Speaker 1: even through working through my law degree, I had various
Speaker 1: jobs where I developed a lot of skills, and then
Speaker 1: obviously the law degree also comes in handy, just with
Speaker 1: various skills and life skills. And just like a little example,
Speaker 1: so I hired mel in twenty eighteen and she really
Speaker 1: helped me transform my business from this kind of like
Speaker 1: influencer personal brand to what it is now where it's
Speaker 1: very multifacet and you know, there's lots going on, and
Speaker 1: to be honest, I think a lot of that was
Speaker 1: me taking myself more seriously and giving myself more responsibility
Speaker 1: because I now had someone on my team. A lot
Speaker 1: of that was also realizing when I was working in
Speaker 1: the law firm that people worked so much better than
Speaker 1: a team. You know, that whole saying if I want
Speaker 1: to go quick, I'll go by myself. If I want
Speaker 1: to go far, I'll go with the team. I think
Speaker 1: that's right. But I'm such a big believer in that.
Speaker 1: And then even kind of little thing, so for example,
Speaker 1: I obviously work with brands and partnerships within my personal brand,
Speaker 1: whether that's in a sponsorships on Instagram or YouTube, or
Speaker 1: even if it's you know, to do with the podcast
Speaker 1: or Naked Harvest and the biggest feedback that I have
Speaker 1: ever gotten is how professional my communication is, just in
Speaker 1: regards to you know, emailing people, getting back to people
Speaker 1: and that sort of thing. And the kind of most
Speaker 1: common thing that comes up is people give me the feedback.
Speaker 1: With other social media influences, sometimes it's a little bit
Speaker 1: hard to work with them. And I've even noticed this
Speaker 1: within Naked Harvest, because we obviously work with influencers. Is
Speaker 1: you can really notice the people who kind of don't
Speaker 1: have the skill of even just writing an email and
Speaker 1: getting back to you, you know, within a good standard
Speaker 1: amount of time. And I think that's because a lot
Speaker 1: of social media influences these days probably go straight from
Speaker 1: high school and like Instagram is kind of like their
Speaker 1: part time job, and they go straight into doing it
Speaker 1: full time, and it really shows that they haven't got
Speaker 1: those basic kind of life skills of working in a
Speaker 1: team or you know, having customers and that sort of thing.
Speaker 1: So honestly, my path, everything that has happened, I would
Speaker 1: not change a thing. Everything has happened exactly how it
Speaker 1: should and even things happening now, I just always tell myself,
Speaker 1: I'm like, trust in the process. This is all happening
Speaker 1: for a reason. So that's a very broad, big one,
Speaker 1: hitting it straight out, all right. So the next lesson
Speaker 1: is really changing my mindset on things happen for me
Speaker 1: not to me. So when I left high school, I
Speaker 1: definitely wasn't like a negative person or too much in
Speaker 1: a negative mindset, But I wasn't exactly positive, and I
Speaker 1: wasn't I don't know, like I kind of the only
Speaker 1: way I can describe it is I was kind of
Speaker 1: just going through the motions. So you know, when something
Speaker 1: bad happened, I would blame it on bad luck or
Speaker 1: get annoyed or something like that, and if something good
Speaker 1: happens again, it would just be like, oh, that's good luck.
Speaker 1: And I look back, and there's certain times that you know,
Speaker 1: I didn't get the job I wanted, or I didn't
Speaker 1: get some opportunity I wanted. But in reality, when I
Speaker 1: look back, these things happened for me, not to me,
Speaker 1: because something else better was just around the corner. So
Speaker 1: I've got two example stories for you. The first one
Speaker 1: is with Timothy, my husband, So when I met him,
Speaker 1: A little backstory is maybe two months before that, I
Speaker 1: was with my high school boyfriend for three maybe three years,
Speaker 1: off and on and he completely broke my heart, like
Speaker 1: right before formal and QCs, like that big test that
Speaker 1: everyone does in grade twelve, right before that, and I
Speaker 1: was like a mess. I was like, proper, I just
Speaker 1: have this clear vision of my parents coming into my
Speaker 1: room and me just being like hysterically crying like the
Speaker 1: most dramatic little person ever. But anyway, and I just
Speaker 1: thought it was the worst thing ever. I just thought,
Speaker 1: how can this happen to me? I was meant to
Speaker 1: with this person? Blah blah blah. Anyway, a couple of
Speaker 1: months later, I met Tim And the only reason why
Speaker 1: I met Tim was because of the X. I kind
Speaker 1: of started talking to Tim in spite and look, I
Speaker 1: married him. So looking back, I'm a big believer on
Speaker 1: like realizing that things happen for me, not to me.
Speaker 1: And I think, you know, if you are currently going
Speaker 1: through a hard time and you're just like, there are
Speaker 1: no positives to the situation, almost sit with it and
Speaker 1: have faith that eventually something good will come out of it,
Speaker 1: and if it's not necessarily good, it's a lesson that
Speaker 1: you can learn from. That's. Yeah, that's a really big
Speaker 1: thing for me. R and C fam are you currently
Speaker 1: trying to grow your hair, get glowing skin and nails,
Speaker 1: or help your gut health, well look no further because
Speaker 1: Naked Harvest's collagen powder is here to change it all.
Speaker 1: Did you know that age twenty five, our body starts
Speaker 1: producing as much collagen itself and then that amount decreases
Speaker 1: every single year. So this is important to know because
Speaker 1: our skin, which is our biggest organ is made up
Speaker 1: of seventy five percent collagen and guy's collagen is just
Speaker 1: a protein, So it does make sense why we start
Speaker 1: seeing signs of aging around this time. And this is
Speaker 1: why we called our collagen the beauty Elixa, because it
Speaker 1: really is a beauty supplement that is going to help
Speaker 1: you glow from the inside out. So even though this
Speaker 1: supplement has amazing esthetic results, you've probably seen my before
Speaker 1: and after hair photos and my nail snaps on my stories.
Speaker 1: But more than that, collagen is such an important building
Speaker 1: block to so many parts of our body. So not
Speaker 1: only is your skin going to glow, your hair and
Speaker 1: nails grow, but it's also going to help with your
Speaker 1: gut health and we all know how important that is.
Speaker 1: So there's two options with the Naked Harvest collagen Elixa.
Speaker 1: There is a pure option which I love to add
Speaker 1: to smoothies and my coffees, or a pine coconut option
Speaker 1: which is so fresh and so delicious. I love having
Speaker 1: that at morning tea or in the afternoon. So iron
Speaker 1: c Fam glow from the inside out with Naked Harvest's
Speaker 1: Beauty Collagen Alixa today and Phil free to use the
Speaker 1: iron c FAM's code, which is Ris and Concher podcasts
Speaker 1: all spelled out and you can get a sneaky saving
Speaker 1: at checkout. Okay, now let's get back into today's episode. Okay,
Speaker 1: So the next little life lesson is to sit with
Speaker 1: the feeling. So again, this is something that I learn
Speaker 1: by seeing my psychologists, and we kind of uncovered that
Speaker 1: I'm someone who hates feeling feelings. Like I remember during
Speaker 1: my law degree, I had a professor who said I
Speaker 1: would be great at family law because I was like emotionless,
Speaker 1: which is like, now, how really rude when I think back.
Speaker 1: But basically I can detach to my feelings quite well
Speaker 1: compared to other people. And so this has actually been
Speaker 1: a positive in numerous ways. Like I actually did work
Speaker 1: in family law and we went through you know, like
Speaker 1: we had cases where it was really sad things that
Speaker 1: were happening, and I didn't attach myself to the client
Speaker 1: or the outcome or anything like that. So it's helpful
Speaker 1: in those situations. And then also I think it has
Speaker 1: helped me just be a really strong person in general,
Speaker 1: Like I am someone who's so strong, so persistent, so determined,
Speaker 1: and I think that side of me comes into that.
Speaker 1: So it's almost like a positive and a negative. Obviously
Speaker 1: the negative. I've realized that when I feel feelings, I
Speaker 1: straightway shut them down and I suppress them. I don't
Speaker 1: actually let myself feel them, which then means I am
Speaker 1: constantly suppressing these feelings and they are manifesting in quite
Speaker 1: toxic ways. So a lot of my anxiety was actually
Speaker 1: to do with suppressed feelings that I hadn't dealt with
Speaker 1: over the years, which I had never really sort of
Speaker 1: understood or heard of that term, and it was really
Speaker 1: interesting to me, and also just other ways of manifesting
Speaker 1: in toxic ways. So when I am feeling negative or sad,
Speaker 1: I no longer just suppress and don't feel it. I
Speaker 1: now sit with the feeling and I will actually put
Speaker 1: a timer on. It's something like sixty ninety seconds that
Speaker 1: feeling will pass. So for that amount of time it
Speaker 1: is really uncomfortable. I am someone who finds it so uncomfortable,
Speaker 1: but I sit with it and I feel it and
Speaker 1: then I get the feeling out. And that has been
Speaker 1: a game changer just in sort of feeling feelings and
Speaker 1: being more connected to my inner self. So another thing
Speaker 1: that I found was because I was suppressing these feelings,
Speaker 1: I was very disconnected from my inner self. And when
Speaker 1: I say my inner self, like I kind of mean
Speaker 1: my intuition and my most authentic self. I feel like
Speaker 1: that is a whole other podcast in itself, because the
Speaker 1: term may not be very usual, but I can definitely
Speaker 1: get into that with another podcast. But to feel my
Speaker 1: most authentic self and to be really in tune with
Speaker 1: my intuition, which has been what this year has been
Speaker 1: about for me personally and business wise. I've really had
Speaker 1: to actually start feeling my feelings. And it's actually like
Speaker 1: sometimes I will sit with the feeling and I literally
Speaker 1: like cry feel the feeling, and then sixty seconds later,
Speaker 1: like I'll be fine. And it's really funny because like
Speaker 1: if Tim or something is around, he's like, what the
Speaker 1: fuck just happened, but oh God, like, stop suppressing your feelings.
Speaker 1: Feel your feelings because it's such a game changer, and
Speaker 1: then they won't come out in these like negative ways.
