Speaker 1: Hello everybody, and welcome back to the potty. Today's episode
Speaker 1: is a mini pep talk from me. It's almost think
Speaker 1: of like you just got a voice message a VM
Speaker 1: from me, which is my favorite way to communicate. My
Speaker 1: team know this, and I was just feeling so called
Speaker 1: on our road trip with Tim and Ivy, so Ivy
Speaker 1: was asleep. Tim was driving, and I was like, Tim,
Speaker 1: don't talk to me. I have just had this download,
Speaker 1: and I just well, I was going through my emails
Speaker 1: and I really wanted to do an episode ignore all
Speaker 1: the driving sounds, but she just had to do it.
Speaker 1: Just think I'm sending you a VM and also like
Speaker 1: the audio isn't the best, but.
Speaker 2: The message is really important.
Speaker 3: She's very powerful.
Speaker 1: It's very powerful, and I'm basically just sharing a recent
Speaker 1: experience where I was given an opportunity that I hadn't manifested,
Speaker 1: but it wasn't quite it. It wasn't quite there, and
Speaker 1: I kind of had this option to accept that standard
Speaker 1: that level or hold out and be like, no, this
Speaker 1: isn't it, so I'm not going to take this.
Speaker 2: And it was just.
Speaker 1: Very interesting, very divine. I had to share it with
Speaker 1: you guys. It was definitely a manifesting moment where I'm like, wow,
Speaker 1: that turned out better than I could have imagined, and
Speaker 1: it was such a great reminder for me. So I
Speaker 1: thought you guys would love it. But firstly, our weekly
Speaker 1: recommendations t T.
Speaker 2: I have two Yes.
Speaker 3: Number one is the rise Up.
Speaker 1: I actually I'd just recommend this every week. Oh you
Speaker 1: can did it in a while?
Speaker 3: I did one. I did the Attract a New Opportunity meditation,
Speaker 3: but the shortened version that Coop recorded.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I did that this morning too.
Speaker 2: Did you so good?
Speaker 3: It's really good? It was so amazing. And I have
Speaker 3: set myself a challenge to wake up a little bit
Speaker 3: earlier every day and start my day with a lemon
Speaker 3: water and a meditation in bed. So I have been
Speaker 3: really making sure I hit the rise at meditation.
Speaker 2: So that's my wreck.
Speaker 3: And we'll pop a sneaky link in the show notes
Speaker 3: for a free week.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, because yeah, we're doing a seven day free trial.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 1: So make sure you guys have no excuse to check
Speaker 1: out the rights app.
Speaker 3: And my second recommendation is it ends with us. I
Speaker 3: went on Friday.
Speaker 1: You cannot take my recommendation.
Speaker 3: It was so beautiful. I actually hadn't read the book,
Speaker 3: so I didn't know quite what I was walking into.
Speaker 3: I knew that like the themes and stuff were quite
Speaker 3: deep and that sort of thing, and again like trigger warding,
Speaker 3: it is a very heavy movie, so do your research
Speaker 3: before going in. But oh my goodness, I was a
Speaker 3: mess in the cinema.
Speaker 2: It's beautiful.
Speaker 1: It was so beautiful, Like yeah.
Speaker 3: Not a beautiful no, no, it was beautiful, but like
Speaker 3: such an important story to tell and told so well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I loved it too. I went and saw it
Speaker 1: twice last week, once when at first it came out
Speaker 1: on the Thursday, and then I got back from my
Speaker 1: holiday and saw it with Center and Saturday night, and
Speaker 1: then during the week I went and saw it with
Speaker 1: other girlfriends. Oh my god, just because I loved it
Speaker 1: so much. I did read the books and loved the
Speaker 1: books and loved the movies. People have some really interesting
Speaker 1: criticism that I'm like, I swear people just love to win.
Speaker 1: That's the vibe I get with criticism of this movie.
Speaker 1: I'm like, look, I get it, but also a piece
Speaker 1: of content cannot be perfect, and I feel like people
Speaker 1: just like the overarching you know what they've tried to do,
Speaker 1: the messaging, the fact that a story like this is
Speaker 1: even being told in such you know such like like
Speaker 1: this is literally such a huge movie. It's such a
Speaker 1: huge thing with huge stars. It's so good that a
Speaker 1: story like this is being told. Yeah, and so much
Speaker 1: light has being shine on it. Of course, you know,
Speaker 1: things can be done differently, and there's always room for that,
Speaker 1: but like the overall message and you know what the
Speaker 1: actors are and how they're promoting.
Speaker 2: It and stuff.
Speaker 1: I think it's been done really well, and I think
Speaker 1: it's like so good that we're even having conversations about it.
Speaker 1: So I also loved it, and I do recommend it's
Speaker 1: such a good film. My recommendation is, well, it's not
Speaker 1: a recommendation, but it's just like, well, I definitely recommend
Speaker 1: it ends with us. But I think I'm gonna start
Speaker 1: getting up at four am.
Speaker 3: Oh, you're gonna come into the four am club. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I love that.
Speaker 1: Well. I got up at four am this morning because
Speaker 1: I dropped my cousin to the airport. Yeah, she stayed
Speaker 1: with us over the weekend. And I then went for
Speaker 1: a walk before my gym class, my five forty five
Speaker 1: gym class, and it was so nice, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: I do feel a little bit tired this morning, but
Speaker 1: it was so nice.
Speaker 2: It was fine.
Speaker 1: I just went to bed earlier and I had a
Speaker 1: whole extra hour in the day.
Speaker 2: And I do sometimes find.
Speaker 1: I don't have enough time to do a meditation or
Speaker 1: listen to a podcast or give back to myself. So
Speaker 1: I'm like, there is an hour in the morning when
Speaker 1: I vis asleep, even to him sleep that I could
Speaker 1: be taking for myself, and I think I want to.
Speaker 1: So I think that, like, let's see what happens. But
Speaker 1: just today I'm like, I think I want to start
Speaker 1: working out at four am. I know it's going to
Speaker 1: be a struggle at the start to then get my
Speaker 1: body clock in the four am club, and I'm like, no,
Speaker 1: I think I need to start doing it, especially because
Speaker 1: it is getting lighter and warmer. Yeah, it's a lot
Speaker 1: easier to get out of bed in Queensland. Sorry, I
Speaker 1: thought beck Stewart had recommended she started reading The five
Speaker 1: Am Club as well. At the book and that he
Speaker 1: says you need to do something for your mindset, your
Speaker 1: soul set, your heart set and your health set before
Speaker 1: you start your day.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's my next thing I want to try
Speaker 2: and do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, have you read the book?
Speaker 3: I haven't yet, It's on my list.
Speaker 1: Read the book. It's a really interesting way that he
Speaker 1: do it. He tells it as a story, so it's
Speaker 1: not like the usual personal development book and I actually
Speaker 1: found it a little bit difficult because I was like,
Speaker 1: get to the point, just tell me what I need
Speaker 1: to do. But I've been like hanging on for the tools.
Speaker 1: But he tells it in a story. I love that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So anyway, I would recommend you read the book to
Speaker 1: I feel like it. But yeah, it's yeah, it's really
Speaker 1: good and I'm like, I think I am going to
Speaker 1: join the four I Am Club. We'll report back to us.
Speaker 2: Yes, all right, let's get into this littill.
Speaker 4: BM For me, my loves, this is your reminder to
Speaker 4: hold your vision, but not only hold your vision.
Speaker 2: But hold the standard of your vision.
Speaker 1: At the start of twenty twenty four, I had this huge.
Speaker 2: Goal that I really wanted to shift.
Speaker 5: My personal brand away from less you know, influencing, taking
Speaker 5: on brand collaborations, and I really wanted to move more
Speaker 5: into the public speaking space.
Speaker 2: Also, this feels very natural for me because I have
Speaker 2: the podcast.
Speaker 1: Like I say, I could talk under water, but I
Speaker 1: really felt this just next level of you know, speaking
Speaker 1: on stages and really sharing my story and really captivating people.
Speaker 2: And I think.
Speaker 1: This felt so good to me and integral to me
Speaker 1: because I truly believe storytelling is what changes lives, like
Speaker 1: if I think back to any time that I have
Speaker 1: gone out and been courageous, I've made a big decision
Speaker 1: in my life.
Speaker 2: I've changed my life.
Speaker 5: It's because I have heard a story from someone else
Speaker 5: either doing a similar thing or you know, they have
Speaker 5: changed my emotional state to the point where I was like,
Speaker 5: I can do it too.
Speaker 1: And stories really evoke emotion, and I really think they're
Speaker 1: the catalysts two changing lives. And that's you know, I
Speaker 1: truly believe that's like marketing one oh one is like,
Speaker 1: don't sell the product, sell the story, sell the emotion,
Speaker 1: sell them what you're going to get at the end.
Speaker 2: That was a big tangent.
Speaker 1: But storytelling so important, and it was twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2: And it's funny because I have.
Speaker 5: Always not been opposed to events, but in the influencer space,
Speaker 5: I just felt like events were quite surface level sometimes,
Speaker 5: especially influencer events, like you know, you go that's put
Speaker 5: on by the brand, and you would meet various people,
Speaker 5: they all have their own agendas, and that's fine, like
Speaker 5: that's networking. But I just I don't know, I just
Speaker 5: felt like a bit like I was like, oh, I
Speaker 5: don't know if this.
Speaker 1: Is like worth my energy I also am someone who
Speaker 1: I have a super close circle, and I don't have
Speaker 1: a large group of friends, so I don't feel like
Speaker 1: I need more friends, like it's always good to have
Speaker 1: people in the industry. So I had this kind of
Speaker 1: weird relationship with events where I didn't love going. But
Speaker 1: then it's like, you know, COVID happened and there wasn't
Speaker 1: any events, and then we kind of moved into this
Speaker 1: new direction and I feel like events are picking back up.
Speaker 1: And in twenty twenty three, I started going to a
Speaker 1: couple of retreats, so not just events, but like you know,
Speaker 1: three day retreats where it was either hosted by someone
Speaker 1: or a brand, and you really got to dive deeper.
Speaker 1: And I found that I had such transformation from these
Speaker 1: retreats and I got so much out of them, and
Speaker 1: I started to you know, like events again and was like, no,
Speaker 1: they actually can.
Speaker 2: Be super powerful.
Speaker 1: You just have to have the right people, the right intention,
Speaker 1: and you need to be able to you know, go deeper.
Speaker 2: And really impact people. So I started like events again.
Speaker 1: And at the end of twenty twenty three, I was
Speaker 1: speaking to my manager, so she handles any brand deals
Speaker 1: I have, like my collaboration, you know with liskd if
Speaker 1: I work with a brand, but also she handles anything
Speaker 1: like speaking arrangements, which I've done a couple here and
Speaker 1: there over the years, but like nothing consistent.
Speaker 2: And so we had a conversation.
Speaker 5: I said to her, I'm really feeling a pull to
Speaker 5: in person events and speaking them and leading them, Like
Speaker 5: I even have such.
Speaker 2: A poll to retreats.
Speaker 1: I am hosting our Rise and Concer Manifestation retreat soon.
Speaker 2: It is a solut retreat. And then we also just
Speaker 2: launched our.
Speaker 1: Naked Harvest Wellness from Within retreat that I believe is
Speaker 1: also sold out, and I'm just so excited for them
Speaker 1: and they feel so good.
Speaker 2: But then on my personal.
Speaker 1: Brand side, I was like I really want to start, yeah,
Speaker 1: doing speaking arrangements and not just like getting asked to
Speaker 1: speak at an event, but getting paid for it, like
Speaker 1: that Energy exchange where you know, someone is like we
Speaker 1: need Georgie to share her story to impact people. And
Speaker 1: it's not me just like going there to share, you know,
Speaker 1: to plug my brands, but it's like I'm getting paid
Speaker 1: to show up and change people's lives, Like that.
Speaker 2: Is what I want. So I got really clear on
Speaker 2: that at the end of last year. So then that
Speaker 2: was one of my.
Speaker 5: Manifestation goals in twenty twenty four, I said to my manager, like,
Speaker 5: that's what I'm focusing on. We changed my media kit,
Speaker 5: you know, we did some very things and I, you know,
Speaker 5: put on.
Speaker 2: My vision board.
Speaker 1: I've got like this woman speaking on stage. And it's
Speaker 1: crazy because it's mid year and I already have like
Speaker 1: I've already done two big speaking arrangements. I'm just about
Speaker 1: to do my third at the fit Her Expo, which
Speaker 1: is the biggest health and wellness expo. And then also
Speaker 1: I have two already locked in coming up. And it's
Speaker 1: crazy because again I've done some very.
Speaker 5: Speaking but all these speaking arrangements are paid like my
Speaker 5: full fee.
Speaker 1: They are like really they feel like really big deals
Speaker 1: to me, and they feel really exciting and really aligned.
Speaker 5: And I haven't reached out to anyone. They have always
Speaker 5: been reaching out to me. They have always felt easy
Speaker 5: and flowy.
Speaker 1: They haven't like previously when I go to events, I
Speaker 1: usually get home and I'm just like drained, and that's
Speaker 1: why I really limited events. But the first two I've
Speaker 1: already done. Yes, you know, like it's definitely it takes
Speaker 1: a lot of energy. But it feels so could and
Speaker 1: it feels so exciting, and it's crazy because there's just
Speaker 1: such a shift in my energy and obviously, you know,
Speaker 1: I know how to protect my energy now I.
Speaker 2: Have grown and evolved.
Speaker 1: But my whole point of this brand is that was
Speaker 1: my manifestation goal. And we had another you know, another
Speaker 1: speaking arrangement pop in the.
Speaker 2: In box and ask me. And it feels really exciting,
Speaker 2: and you know, they have asked me to speak, and
Speaker 2: we sent the.
Speaker 1: Rates and they came back and they were like, oh, look,
Speaker 1: you know, we don't have the biggest budget called Georgie
Speaker 1: basically half my rates and it is a brand that
Speaker 1: it feels very exciting and it feels very like.
Speaker 2: Oh, I would love to do.
Speaker 1: A speaking you know thing for this brand, and I
Speaker 1: would love to, you know, for that to be like
Speaker 1: it feels like an accomplishment once I finish it.
Speaker 2: And I noticed, I just noticed I kind of had
Speaker 2: this decision.
Speaker 1: And in saying that, you know, I had a talk
Speaker 1: of Jacyntha and she's like, Oh, it's completely up to
Speaker 1: you if you want to harve your rais or and whatnot.
Speaker 1: Like it is an exciting opportunity, but I had to
Speaker 1: go back to the energy and the intention.
Speaker 5: And you know, my big thing with doing these spinking
Speaker 5: arrangements is, yes, I want to go out there and
Speaker 5: I want to share my message, but I wanted to
Speaker 5: feel like a really great energy exchange where I want
Speaker 5: to show up on the day and just give my
Speaker 5: absolute all and just like it feels so good energetically
Speaker 5: because it is such a big energetic thing for me
Speaker 5: with events, so and like my rate really is very reasonable,
Speaker 5: so it being.
Speaker 1: Halved, I just was like, look, this is exciting, it's
Speaker 1: in line with.
Speaker 2: My goals, but it just doesn't feel good.
Speaker 1: And I feel like energetically, if I drop this standard,
Speaker 1: I definitely would still show up and give my best.
Speaker 1: But again I'm like, I know that I can have
Speaker 1: my manifestations in the full form, and I can have
Speaker 1: them in the full exchange.
Speaker 2: I can have exactly what I want like that. That's
Speaker 2: what I teach you guys, That's what I preach.
Speaker 1: And so I did notice it's like the universe kind
Speaker 1: of dangling a carrot and kind of being like, you know,
Speaker 1: are you gonna lower your standards? Are you're gonna take
Speaker 1: less just because it's exciting and shiny, and so I said, too, Jacinta,
Speaker 1: I was like, no, we're going to We did, like
Speaker 1: lower it the tiniest bit because I do understand budget
Speaker 1: and you know, things happening in the economy right now
Speaker 1: and all that sort of thing, and like, I'm a brand,
Speaker 1: so I do get it.
Speaker 2: So I said, look, this is the best rate we
Speaker 2: can do. This feels really good.
Speaker 1: For Georgie, and especially like the level of this brand,
Speaker 1: Like I knew.
Speaker 5: They did have the budget, if that makes sense. Like
Speaker 5: I'm I'm an insider, I've got my own brands.
Speaker 1: I've been in the industry for a very long time,
Speaker 1: and so I just was like energetically, I was like,
Speaker 1: this still feels like a really great exchange.
Speaker 2: And I just was like, no, I'm not going to
Speaker 2: lower the standard.
Speaker 1: Because if it's not this opportunity, there's gonna be another one.
Speaker 2: Because that's my truth, that's the reality I live.
Speaker 1: In, and I feel like sometimes it's really easy to
Speaker 1: get excited about things and kind of just accept less
Speaker 1: even though that's not the exact desire because it kind
Speaker 1: of like half fits or it's like kind of what
Speaker 1: you want it to be, just like Yep, I'll take it,
Speaker 1: and look, there's a time and place for that.
Speaker 2: I've definitely done that along my journey.
Speaker 1: But I think there is such this incredible power with
Speaker 1: holding your standard and being like, no, Universe, thank you
Speaker 1: for showing me that it's a pility, but I want
Speaker 1: the whole thing. I want it in this you know,
Speaker 1: in this way, at this energy level, because that's what
Speaker 1: feels good for me.
Speaker 2: Like that's the vibe.
Speaker 5: So anyway, we went back to them, we were like, no,
Speaker 5: this is the rate, this is the best we can do.
Speaker 1: We do completely understand if you want to go with
Speaker 1: someone else. And that's like I just had to wear that.
Speaker 1: And it's crazy because last night.
Speaker 2: I woke up in the middle of the night and
Speaker 2: I was like I should have just.
Speaker 1: Gone half and I should have just got this opportunity
Speaker 1: because it's really exciting and it's a great opportunity to
Speaker 1: practice my public speaking and blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: And I was even going to message to Center and
Speaker 1: say just email them and like say we'll do half
Speaker 1: the rate.
Speaker 2: And then I was like.
Speaker 1: Got up in the morning and I was like, no, Georgia,
Speaker 1: that's not the vibe. Like stop, and I had to
Speaker 1: be like, remember your mission, remember your why Energetically does
Speaker 1: that feel good to you?
Speaker 2: Know?
Speaker 5: You're doing it out of a scarcity mindset, a scarcity
Speaker 5: energy which matters.
Speaker 2: So no, that's not the answer. You need to hold
Speaker 2: the standard.
Speaker 1: You need to hold the vibration of what you want
Speaker 1: and if not, this somethink better. So anyway, had this
Speaker 1: full pep talk with myself, had to practice what I preached.
Speaker 1: And I just got a text from JR Center not
Speaker 1: only has the brand come back, and being like, oh good,
Speaker 1: I spoke to my boss and we're happy to lock
Speaker 1: this in.
Speaker 2: But they said, we'll just pay her full rate.
Speaker 1: So I even offered them a discount and they're like, ah, no,
Speaker 1: it's all good.
Speaker 2: We'll pay her full rate. And I was like, if.
Speaker 1: This isn't the universe rewarding me and being like that
Speaker 1: was a test and you absolutely passed it, Like I
Speaker 1: don't know what it is?
Speaker 2: Like how wild is that? My loves?
Speaker 5: And so I wanted to jump on here and send
Speaker 5: you this VM and say one hundred said, hold your
Speaker 5: vision and hold the standard and make sure that you're
Speaker 5: not accepting.
Speaker 2: Less out of scarcity.
Speaker 1: You can absolutely accept less if energetically it's like, no,
Speaker 1: this feels really good to me.
Speaker 2: But if you're just accepting less out of scarcity and
Speaker 2: out of you think that's.
Speaker 5: All your worth, or you know something better isn't coming,
Speaker 5: or you're just like worried, like you're feeling unstable, this
Speaker 5: could be such a great practice moment for you to hold.
Speaker 1: The vision, know your standard and lock in and be
Speaker 1: like I'm locking in universe, like show me. And that's
Speaker 1: the thing is I truly was happy with if they
Speaker 1: came back and they were like, it's not you. I
Speaker 1: was just like cool, that's like it's good to know.
Speaker 1: Obviously it's not meant to be. And I was at
Speaker 1: peace with that.
Speaker 2: And it's because I.
Speaker 1: Detached from it, Like that's the last step of manifesting.
Speaker 1: It's surrender and detachment. I had detached from it, so
Speaker 1: there was no weird, funky energy where I was like
Speaker 1: trying to hold on to it.
Speaker 2: I was trying to make something work.
Speaker 1: And I truly believe that's why they came back like well,
Speaker 1: buy it all right, Like I don't even really understand that,
Speaker 1: like it doesn't make logical sense.
Speaker 2: But also this stuff doesn't what I teach you doesn't.
Speaker 2: So anyway, I went on a whole other rant.
Speaker 1: I just really wanted to tell you this story and say,
Speaker 1: you get to hold the.
Speaker 2: Vision, you get to hold the standard.
Speaker 1: You are so deserving, you are so worthy, and absolutely
Speaker 1: everything is happening for you, so you have.
Speaker 2: To trust it. Okay, my loves.
