Speaker 1: I would like to acknowledge the traditional owners of the
Speaker 1: land on which this episode is being recorded, the Combomb
Speaker 1: Merry people. They've been having conversations and telling stories on
Speaker 1: this land for thousands of years, and we show our
Speaker 1: gratitude and respect for their contribution to our environment and culture.
Speaker 1: This is Rise and Conquer, the podcast where we strive
Speaker 1: to become the highest version of ourselves through curious conversations,
Speaker 1: healthy mindsets, laughter, connection, and a deep desire to evolve.
Speaker 1: I'm your host, Georgie Stevenson. Join me as we explore parenthood, business, manifestation,
Speaker 1: and so much more. It's positive, it's practical, and it's
Speaker 1: about putting you in the driver's seat of your own life.
Speaker 2: Are you ready?
Speaker 1: Hello, my loves, and welcome back to the potty. We
Speaker 1: have a reflection episode of twenty twenty four for you,
Speaker 1: and I'm going to tell you the highs, the lows,
Speaker 1: the lessons, the milestones and the realizations.
Speaker 2: Twenty twenty four for me.
Speaker 1: Was probably the biggest year of my life. If January
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, if I told her what had happened
Speaker 1: this year, I don't think she would have believed you,
Speaker 1: or you know, she would be very confused and very like,
Speaker 1: surely that's not actually going to happen, because there was
Speaker 1: just so many twists and turns and things that happened
Speaker 1: that I was like, wow, this, like how is this
Speaker 1: real life? A lot of great humbling moments, a lot
Speaker 1: of great realizations, and I currently still am in my
Speaker 1: Satin return, which, if you guys don't know, a Sadden
Speaker 1: return is basically a very turbulent time of your twenties
Speaker 1: where it's like you close out of your twenties and
Speaker 1: you enter your thirties.
Speaker 2: It depends on your birth chart.
Speaker 1: It can't happen from when you're like twenty seven to
Speaker 1: like thirty one.
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 1: So mine actually finishes in February, and thank the.
Speaker 2: Lord because it has been bumpy.
Speaker 1: But before we get into the episode, I just wanted
Speaker 1: to let you guys know, if you haven't seen already,
Speaker 1: we launched a brand new course called the Magnetic Blueprint,
Speaker 1: And this course really was birthed from a lot of
Speaker 1: my realizations this year actually and also me wanting to
Speaker 1: create twenty twenty five to be different and better. A
Speaker 1: huge realization which I'm sure i'll get into, is how
Speaker 1: I probably didn't really goal set and plan my year
Speaker 1: in a great way and from my very authentic self,
Speaker 1: and I'm doing things differently, and so I've created a
Speaker 1: goal setting template, a blueprint for you guys, and we
Speaker 1: can do it all together in January. It is going
Speaker 1: to start on the eighteenth of January and then we
Speaker 1: have fourteen days together. But here's where it is so
Speaker 1: different to anything else that you have done around goal setting.
Speaker 1: And the first week we're not even going to think
Speaker 1: of our goals because the first week I'm going to
Speaker 1: take you through a whole bunch of exercises for you
Speaker 1: to take off your mask and really dig deep and
Speaker 1: find that person within you, guys. Because when you are
Speaker 1: locked into that person inside you, like your your higher self,
Speaker 1: your true self, everything falls into place, everything is drawn
Speaker 1: to you. That's why we're calling it magnetic, because it's like,
Speaker 1: once you've finished it, you will become a magnet for
Speaker 1: your desires. That twenty twenty five will just like roll
Speaker 1: around and you'll go through the year, and of course
Speaker 1: you're gonna work for what you want and you're going
Speaker 1: to go through it, but it's going to feel different.
Speaker 2: It's going to feel easier, flowier.
Speaker 1: Not so bumpy, and it's because you're doing it in
Speaker 1: this beautiful magnetic way.
Speaker 2: It's such a unique course.
Speaker 1: So the first seven days we are like finding our
Speaker 1: true self and undoing the mass and undoing our conditioning
Speaker 1: and getting rid of any negative like routines or habits
Speaker 1: or patterns. I'll talk about patterns in this episode in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. And then we're actually creating our plan,
Speaker 1: our goals for twenty twenty five. And that was my
Speaker 1: biggest realization is I didn't really do that in John
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty four. I think I actually remember being
Speaker 1: on this podcast saying I'm just surrendering this year, and look,
Speaker 1: I did surrender and a lot came up, but to
Speaker 1: be honest, I kind of regret not having some more
Speaker 1: clear goals in intentions. And so that's what I'm doing differently,
Speaker 1: and I want you guys to join me. It's a
Speaker 1: very affordable course.
Speaker 2: It is only going to.
Speaker 1: Be about, you know, ten to twenty minutes a day
Speaker 1: every day. There's either a training, a workbook, or a meditation,
Speaker 1: and so it is very easy to finish and implement
Speaker 1: and integrate. So I'm so excited for that. Enrollment is
Speaker 1: now open and we do have an early bird price,
Speaker 1: but once December finishes, the price will go up, so
Speaker 1: make sure you check it out the link.
Speaker 2: It will be in the show notes. There'll be stuff
Speaker 2: on social media.
Speaker 1: But let's get in to this episode. Let's start off
Speaker 1: with my first high and my first lesson of twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four, and that was launching the Rise app. So
Speaker 1: the Rise app really was birth from this place where
Speaker 1: I saw such a gap in the market and a
Speaker 1: gap in self development where people would do this life
Speaker 1: changing course.
Speaker 2: Like people would do the project.
Speaker 1: Which is my seven week manifesting course, and it would
Speaker 1: change their lives and they would be like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: this is incredible. I've got so much new knowledge. But
Speaker 1: then a couple of months later, because they aren't integrating
Speaker 1: it and they're not continuing their practices and who they
Speaker 1: are and how they show up, they drop it and
Speaker 1: they full off and they don't get the benefits from manifestation.
Speaker 1: And so I've seen this in all my courses and
Speaker 1: in the self development industry. It's like they get motivation,
Speaker 1: they get high from something, but then it's not continued.
Speaker 1: And that's really what the Rise app is. It's a
Speaker 1: tool so every single day you have something to go
Speaker 1: to that is going to enhance your day, is going
Speaker 1: to get you on the vibration. And so we have
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of pep talks, we have meditations, and
Speaker 1: basically the whole thing is like your mindset bestie.
Speaker 2: In your pocket.
Speaker 1: So I have worked with a lot of coaches over
Speaker 1: the years, and like they usually have like a vox
Speaker 1: era or like a telegram situation where if you have
Speaker 1: like a problem or you're dysregulated, you can like telegram
Speaker 1: them and be like, hey, this happened, blah blah blah,
Speaker 1: and then they pop in and they're like, hey, breathe,
Speaker 1: this is the advice whatnot. And obviously coaches, you're looking
Speaker 1: at like fifty thousand dollars for three months kind of vibes.
Speaker 1: It's not something every one is able to afford. So
Speaker 1: what I wanted to do was put it into an app.
Speaker 1: So it's like every single day when you're looking for something,
Speaker 1: you can have it. And so we you know, we
Speaker 1: have meditations where it's like if you want to feel grounded,
Speaker 1: listen to this.
Speaker 2: If you're going for an interview, listen for this.
Speaker 1: If you want to feel inspired, if you want to
Speaker 1: feel motivated, if you're about to go to gym, Like
Speaker 1: we have built a beautiful audio experience for every sort
Speaker 1: of situation. That's like, that's what the Rise app was for.
Speaker 1: But when we launched it in January I think February, sorry,
Speaker 1: we actually did that.
Speaker 2: But then we did a lot more.
Speaker 1: So we also put like master classes on there, we
Speaker 1: put training videos, we put workbooks, and we basically just
Speaker 1: wanted to give our audience everything and just like make
Speaker 1: it so worth their while. But now in December, I
Speaker 1: can kind of see in hindsight that it was such
Speaker 1: a potent tool that had such a direct and clear
Speaker 1: purpose which I just spoke about, but we kind of
Speaker 1: of muddied it, like we kind of tried to do
Speaker 1: too much and please too many people, and so the
Speaker 1: message often got lost and people didn't really understand what
Speaker 1: the app was, which was on our side. And so
Speaker 1: now like as I'm talking, we have changed things. So
Speaker 1: we have removed the master classes and the video and
Speaker 1: we've kind of like simplified it and made it easier
Speaker 1: to use and use it friendly, and we've also like
Speaker 1: reduced the price because we're you know, half the stuff
Speaker 1: is available but it's very like niched and on purpose
Speaker 1: and clear that was like the best thing we could
Speaker 1: have done. But we had to go the year figuring
Speaker 1: out putting content on there, taking it down, and it
Speaker 1: was a very messy experience. And also there's something interesting
Speaker 1: about being a business owner and having a product like
Speaker 1: this and trying.
Speaker 2: To figure it out as you go, and you know,
Speaker 2: we had.
Speaker 1: To email people and being like this content will be
Speaker 1: taken off, and of course that those people who were
Speaker 1: like no, I love that content, and so like, trying
Speaker 1: to keep everyone happy is hard. But my lesson for
Speaker 1: that is, first of all, your mistakes are your greatest teachers.
Speaker 1: You cannot fail. So even if something doesn't go exactly
Speaker 1: to plan, it's not a failure because you're learning a lesson,
Speaker 1: you're understanding. And so for me, I'm like, okay, wow,
Speaker 1: I tried to do too much. Like we tried to
Speaker 1: do too much, and really we should have just stuck
Speaker 1: with this is what the app is for a very
Speaker 1: specific purpose and only done content on that.
Speaker 2: For example, on the Rise app, now it's only audio.
Speaker 1: There is no video content, and some people, you know,
Speaker 1: we're unhappy about that, but I'm like, no, I'm so
Speaker 1: clear on what this app is, it's important that we
Speaker 1: stick to it.
Speaker 2: So that was that was a great long lesson.
Speaker 1: Now we move to some highs of the year and
Speaker 1: a big intention that I had, actually, this was one
Speaker 1: of my goals for twenty twenty four was speaking at events,
Speaker 1: and I think I spoke at three events, which was incredible.
Speaker 1: And I loved this because even though I have a
Speaker 1: podcast and even though I show up on social media,
Speaker 1: showing up in real life, you know, having to talk
Speaker 1: and having to remember and having to articulate yourself is
Speaker 1: actually I find it so scary. Like on this podcast,
Speaker 1: we have an editor and so she will snipe it
Speaker 1: if I stuff up or have to start again, but
Speaker 1: in real life, like you have to be kind of perfect.
Speaker 1: And so I've always been like, oh no, don't want
Speaker 1: to do in person key speaker vibes. But I did that,
Speaker 1: and even for like International Women's Day, and I am
Speaker 1: so proud of myself for getting out of my comfort
Speaker 1: zone and for doing something that I'm going to tell
Speaker 1: you like scared me shitless. So that was like a
Speaker 1: huge high. Another high was we did a whole bunch
Speaker 1: of in person retreats, so We did the Rise Retreat,
Speaker 1: which was in collaboration with yogabl and we did the
Speaker 1: n H Retreat. The RISE Retreat was more like manifesting
Speaker 1: creating vision boards based, and then the n H Retreat
Speaker 1: was really kind of like trauma based and kind of
Speaker 1: health fitness, and we got into trauma and they were
Speaker 1: the most amazing experiences. I crave in human connection and
Speaker 1: that deeper conversation and that deeper connection, and to have
Speaker 1: that with my community, like some of the women that
Speaker 1: I had moments with at these retreats, was extraordinary, totally
Speaker 1: such a high from the year. I definitely want to
Speaker 1: do more retreats in twenty twenty five. Actually, we do
Speaker 1: have a Naked Harvest retreat. I'm not sure it's if it's.
Speaker 2: Sold out or not.
Speaker 1: I will put a link if it's not and you
Speaker 1: guys can check that out. So the kind of true
Speaker 1: lessons from that though, is your time and energy is
Speaker 1: your greatest currency, and it matters so much what you
Speaker 1: pick to do with it that you have to be
Speaker 1: really careful and intentional with your time. And I am
Speaker 1: just so glad that I put time and energy into
Speaker 1: in person events because you know, they are a lot
Speaker 1: of energy being with people for over a weekend. The
Speaker 1: planning that goes into these events, and sometimes the return
Speaker 1: isn't as much as you know, maybe a campaign that
Speaker 1: you would do with a product, but the fulfillment that
Speaker 1: I felt was just so much. So I'm so glad
Speaker 1: that we did those and I'm so glad that I
Speaker 1: was intentional, intentional with my time and energy. So the
Speaker 1: next the next what we're going into is family and
Speaker 1: my relationship with Tim.
Speaker 2: Let's start on a high.
Speaker 1: And I am so fucking proud of the mom I
Speaker 1: was this year. I really feel like this was the
Speaker 1: year that I was just so solid in being a
Speaker 1: working mom and showing up for Ivy and not feeling
Speaker 1: any guilt, being so present with her, bit so strict
Speaker 1: on my boundaries to make time for her and to
Speaker 1: make sure that I had no guilt. And I haven't
Speaker 1: always got that right in previous years, but this year,
Speaker 1: like wow, it's just I was so clear on how
Speaker 1: I wanted to show up and who I wanted to
Speaker 1: be for her, and I really feel like I did
Speaker 1: that and I'm so so proud of myself. And that
Speaker 1: was because of the previous self development work that I
Speaker 1: have done in twenty three and twenty two around Ivy,
Speaker 1: because that feeling is not how I previously felt about
Speaker 1: being a mom.
Speaker 2: I really struggled.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so proud of myself, but it was because I
Speaker 1: put in so much work on myself and it has
Speaker 1: bled out into our relationship.
Speaker 2: Me and Tim.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be really honest with you guys, like when
Speaker 1: am I not? And I like, I really trust this
Speaker 1: communication style, Like I would never post this over you know,
Speaker 1: Instagram or whatnot, but like the podcast is sacred to me.
Speaker 1: And if you're going to spend twenty to forty minutes
Speaker 1: listening to my podcast, I feel like we have a
Speaker 1: certain understanding and you're an amazing, respectful human and so
Speaker 1: you will hear this and there will be no judgment
Speaker 1: or if there is, like you have complete understanding. Bit
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty four was a rough year for me and Tim. Obviously,
Speaker 1: we were trying to conceive while I'm a working mom,
Speaker 1: he's looking after a three year old, and.
Speaker 2: The economy went to shit.
Speaker 1: There was just a lot of stresses happening on our relationship,
Speaker 1: you know, stuff where I was like, I feel like
Speaker 1: we've been through this before, Like why are we're going
Speaker 1: through this, but I truly believe our relationship had to
Speaker 1: break down to fall back together. In twenty twenty four,
Speaker 1: we went through it, and like the biggest realization that
Speaker 1: I have from this me and Tim, we've been together
Speaker 1: since I was seventeen and he was twenty one, so
Speaker 1: over twelve years now, thirteen years now, and we previously
Speaker 1: kind of like if we're talking about interactions and like
Speaker 1: shadow work, we played certain loops out together. And you
Speaker 1: will do this with all your key relationships. So you'll
Speaker 1: act in a certain way with your mom, and then
Speaker 1: maybe act a tiny bit different with your dad, and
Speaker 1: then maybe act a tiny bit different with your partner
Speaker 1: and your best friend, and.
Speaker 2: These are all parts of yourself.
Speaker 1: But basically what has happened is as we grow up,
Speaker 1: we learn certain coping mechanisms and we learn certain let's
Speaker 1: call them strategies, where for example, my dad is someone
Speaker 1: where he's emotionally intelligent, but he really can't deal when
Speaker 1: people aren't happy, like I think he's you know, he's
Speaker 1: gone through a lot in his life, and so if
Speaker 1: someone is really sad and down, he gets really uncomfortable
Speaker 1: and he can't deal with it, like him going to
Speaker 1: a funeral, he freaks out, was my mum isn't She's
Speaker 1: very sensitive? So who I am with my dad is
Speaker 1: probably a little bit more emotionless and a little bit
Speaker 1: more like, smile on my face, I'm all good, love you,
Speaker 1: let's have a joke. I can talk about deep things,
Speaker 1: but they're about kicking goals at work.
Speaker 2: Good things happening.
Speaker 1: So I will be a certain person for him, and
Speaker 1: that's like that's a loop. That's like something that we
Speaker 1: play out, and that's like our relationship. And just like
Speaker 1: with my mom, I can go deeper and I can
Speaker 1: be like I'm really fucking sad, and I can like
Speaker 1: show that emotion. She can really hold me just like
Speaker 1: I have a different let's call it mass. So if
Speaker 1: you think about it me being seventeen, since knowing Tim,
Speaker 1: there's been a lot of mass that I've worn with
Speaker 1: him where I have leant into certain strategies and the
Speaker 1: way that I have dealt with life in our relationship
Speaker 1: to like make things work or to like get what
Speaker 1: I want and like we all will do it. So
Speaker 1: for me and Tim's relationship, I often would you know,
Speaker 1: he was my safe place. He was like my punching bag,
Speaker 1: and you know, if I was too stressed, it was
Speaker 1: too much, I would often take it out on him.
Speaker 1: There was also this weird dynamic I would play where
Speaker 1: if he was doing something I didn't like doing or
Speaker 1: anything like that, I wouldn't have a lot of space
Speaker 1: for him. Not like an ultimatum, but you know, like
Speaker 1: we'll stop doing that because I didn't like it. If
Speaker 1: you're gonna act like that, I'm out, Like not actually out,
Speaker 1: but you know, like that sort of vibe. And it's
Speaker 1: always been like kind of that dynamic in our relationship,
Speaker 1: and in the last couple of years we have like,
Speaker 1: you know, fixed it and worked on it. And I
Speaker 1: think it's because, like we met when I was younger
Speaker 1: and I was the young girl, he was the older boy.
Speaker 1: He always looked after me. I was always like the
Speaker 1: little princess. And so this year I felt like there
Speaker 1: was this new layer of Tim calling me out of
Speaker 1: my shit and not playing into my cycles and into
Speaker 1: my strategies and basically just being like, no, you need
Speaker 1: to fucking look at your shit, and me being like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, how dare you? And so I'm gonna
Speaker 1: take a lot of responsibility for this year and say like,
Speaker 1: we came up to a lot of tough moments because
Speaker 1: I hadn't pre viously dealt with my shit and he
Speaker 1: has also done a lot of self development work, and
Speaker 1: he's like, no, like, I'm not dealing with your shit anymore,
Speaker 1: Like change it. We need to do life differently. And
Speaker 1: I did listen, and obviously there was vice versa stuff
Speaker 1: with him that we worked through, but I felt like
Speaker 1: we have never worked through so much shit than we
Speaker 1: did in twenty twenty four in our relationship. He was
Speaker 1: actually wild on top of trying to conceive and like
Speaker 1: doing life. And I think for me, the biggest lesson,
Speaker 1: like I said, is for twenty twenty four in our
Speaker 1: relationship is some things have to die in order to
Speaker 1: be rebirth. And I honestly feel like our past relationship
Speaker 1: is dead, Like I feel like we have a brand
Speaker 1: new relationship. I want to say, like probably like midyear,
Speaker 1: the first half of the year was really turbulent, and
Speaker 1: then right before Europe, we basically sat down and had
Speaker 1: this whole thing where we were both like do you
Speaker 1: want this? And we both obviously was like, yes, we
Speaker 1: want this, and we promised to be one hundred percent
Speaker 1: in so yeah, that was a wild ride and like
Speaker 1: not something I foresaw because we've always been like very
Speaker 1: solid and you know, together forever and whatnot. But I'm
Speaker 1: so glad I went through that. And I would just
Speaker 1: want to say, like, if you're currently going through a
Speaker 1: turbulent time in your relationship, it doesn't have to be
Speaker 1: a bad thing. It can actually be an incredible thing
Speaker 1: because maybe your old relationship has to die for this new,
Speaker 1: beautiful relationship to come through. And even if you think
Speaker 1: about it, like me and Tim have probably had a
Speaker 1: thousand deaths in our relationship over the thirteen years together,
Speaker 1: this one was just like really really big and really prominent.
Speaker 1: So don't be scared if you're having relationship issues. That's
Speaker 1: what I would say, Like, I really feel like we
Speaker 1: could work anythink out and we did seek help and
Speaker 1: we got that, and so talk to professionals about it.
Speaker 1: Just like keep communicating. That's my advice is, like just
Speaker 1: keep communicating and don't judge, So like, let the person
Speaker 1: communicate and say their feelings, but don't judge them for
Speaker 1: their feelings. So yeah, in saying that, I feel like
Speaker 1: now at the end of the year, I have never
Speaker 1: felt so solid and so good about us. I feel
Speaker 1: like it all happened for this next baby to come through,
Speaker 1: and I really feel like this baby is going to
Speaker 1: come through soon because that needed to happen in our relationship,
Speaker 1: and then this baby comes through. I don't know, it's
Speaker 1: just like a feeling. Who knows, but yeah.
Speaker 2: That was wild.
Speaker 1: And then we went to Europe and that was incredible.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I like we had never been to Europe.
Speaker 1: We did the whole we're not going to Europe, going
Speaker 1: to save our money and buy a house, which very
Speaker 1: grateful for younger Georgie for making that decision because we
Speaker 1: then got to do Europe super bougie and just like vibes.
Speaker 2: And I think my.
Speaker 1: Kind of takeaway from this was it's not selfish to
Speaker 1: prioritize yourself and still have fun in your relationship for yourself,
Speaker 1: even if you're a parent.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 1: I think we triggered a lot of people by going
Speaker 1: to Europe without Ivy.
Speaker 2: It was only two weeks.
Speaker 1: I'm so glad we did it because it was incredible
Speaker 1: and it really like filled the whole inside of me
Speaker 1: of like what I wanted to do In saying that
Speaker 1: I did miss her so much that I was like,
Speaker 1: I don't think I could do this again. And we
Speaker 1: were very strategic because we knew we wanted to get pregnant,
Speaker 1: and we knew that like now, it kind of it
Speaker 1: would be like now or never, because we never wanted
Speaker 1: to leave two children while we're in Europe. And Ivy
Speaker 1: is such an independent baby, like it's actually wild, like
Speaker 1: she'll go to anyone, and she's obsessed with my parents,
Speaker 1: and we just we knew she would be fine. But
Speaker 1: I just have these intuitive vibes that our next baby
Speaker 1: is like really sensitive. I just I don't know, I
Speaker 1: get the vibes. And so I said to Tim, I
Speaker 1: don't think we'll ever be able to travel again ever again,
Speaker 1: No like travel, because I just feel like this baby,
Speaker 1: next baby is sensitive and I just don't think we'll
Speaker 1: be able to leave it. And I know that's like
Speaker 1: a really weird thing to say to you guys, and
Speaker 1: I understand that, but it makes sense in my head.
Speaker 1: So anyway, we did it. Obviously, we had the means
Speaker 1: to travel and do a bougie holiday just for two weeks,
Speaker 1: because it is a lot of money to spend just
Speaker 1: for two weeks. We had the grandparents I could do
Speaker 1: it with work, like we had all the ticks.
Speaker 2: But in saying that, I did have that moment.
Speaker 1: Of realization where I was like, it is a time
Speaker 1: in our life where we just enjoy going up the coast,
Speaker 1: staying in an airbnb with our kids and just relaxing
Speaker 1: and not flying off to Europe and being okay with that.
Speaker 1: And I totally am I think I just needed to
Speaker 1: do it. And I was like, oh, yeah, like I've
Speaker 1: done it. But also, this is the time to just
Speaker 1: enjoy the baby baby stage. So I know that's kind
Speaker 1: of contradicting, but also I'm gonna go with it, okay.
Speaker 1: So the next thing was n h's fifth birthday. This year, guys,
Speaker 1: when I say twenty twenty four was turbulent with businesses.
Speaker 1: We still scaled, we still expanded, we still had growth,
Speaker 1: We still had some epic milestones and awesome things happened
Speaker 1: in the business, but it didn't feel really hard this year.
Speaker 1: It felt like we were pushing shit upper hill. It
Speaker 1: really really did, and it was very much like what
Speaker 1: could go wrong was going wrong, Like we were having
Speaker 1: like issues with our manufacturer, like getting products, we were
Speaker 1: having to push you know, launchers, our product pipeline, which
Speaker 1: is just like how long it takes to get out
Speaker 1: of product was blown right out, and so it was
Speaker 1: really hard for the marketing team to like be ready
Speaker 1: when we never knew when a product was coming because
Speaker 1: it never came on time.
Speaker 2: It was really hard to plan things.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it it honestly like it just felt hard. But
Speaker 1: also I'm taking that as growth isn't always comfortable, and
Speaker 1: I think it's just because the previous couple of years,
Speaker 1: Like I feel like the start of NH was really hard,
Speaker 1: and then we had these like breezy couple of years
Speaker 1: COVID happened, everyone was spending their money like it felt
Speaker 1: really breezy and fun, and then I felt like this
Speaker 1: year has just been like hard but also great reminder
Speaker 1: that good things aren't meant to just like be easy
Speaker 1: all the time. And I feel like we grew so
Speaker 1: much as like business owners, the team grew so much.
Speaker 1: My biggest lesson in business and twenty twenty four is
Speaker 1: consistency always wins. If you keep showing up, if you
Speaker 1: keep trudging through the mud, if you are just so
Speaker 1: strong on your purpose and your intentions in your business. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it might be hard, but it will always be worth
Speaker 1: it and you will always.
Speaker 2: Win in the end. And then I had some really cool.
Speaker 1: Like work milestones, like being featured in the Curia Mail.
Speaker 1: So thank you to my past self who worked her
Speaker 1: ass off, because I felt like being featured in like
Speaker 1: mainstream media in the social media world, recognized, but not
Speaker 1: really in like the mainstream world. And I felt like,
Speaker 1: you know, your aunt, your grandma reads the Curia Mail,
Speaker 1: so to be featured on there as a business owner
Speaker 1: was incredible and that was just that was such a highlight. Okay,
Speaker 1: So then we go on to my thirtieth birthday.
Speaker 2: Guys, I turned thirty this year.
Speaker 1: My thirtieth birthday was just like everything I could have imagined.
Speaker 2: It was so beautiful. I basically just had a long.
Speaker 1: Lunch with girlfriends at my house, but I fully got
Speaker 1: it like style, and I got a chef in you know,
Speaker 1: I had a champagne tower.
Speaker 2: Like super Georgie, super bougie. And it's funny because when
Speaker 2: I used.
Speaker 1: To think about my thirtieth previously, I was I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be like out clubbing. I'm gonna like go on a boat.
Speaker 1: There's gonna be a lot of people. That was like
Speaker 1: the last thing I wanted for my thirtieth birthday. I
Speaker 1: really wanted this intimate long lunch with like souls whoe
Speaker 1: were like, these are my ride or dies. These are
Speaker 1: like my closest girlfriends who are so interesting and so
Speaker 1: incredible and love me so much.
Speaker 2: That's who I had there.
Speaker 1: And it was so beautiful and it was so incredible,
Speaker 1: and I just had the best time and I just
Speaker 1: feel so good. I honestly feel like I've been thirty
Speaker 1: four years, but I feel so good being thirty, and
Speaker 1: I'm just so excited of like what my thirties are
Speaker 1: going to bring. And then so next up we launched.
Speaker 2: The Abundance Academy.
Speaker 1: So this has its own little spot in this year
Speaker 1: because this course had been brewing in my subconscious, in
Speaker 1: my brain, in the atmosphere for years. I have been
Speaker 1: adding notes on this course for years and finally brought
Speaker 1: it into fruition, which I'm so proud of. It's incredible.
Speaker 1: We have so many testimonials.
Speaker 2: And what I.
Speaker 1: Loved about this specific time is previously I didn't bring
Speaker 1: out this course because I knew money was such a
Speaker 1: triggering topic to people, and I didn't feel like I
Speaker 1: could hold their projections and judgments previously, but this year
Speaker 1: I felt like I could, which if you think about it,
Speaker 1: like now that I've told you everything during my year,
Speaker 1: if you think about that, the fact that I could
Speaker 1: hold everything else happening in my year, and I was like, Yeah,
Speaker 1: let's bring out a course that's going to be triggering
Speaker 1: this shit. Like you can see how solid I am
Speaker 1: in myself and who I am and why I'm here.
Speaker 1: So I'm so proud of me. I'm so proud of
Speaker 1: the team. And we had the most amazing launch. We
Speaker 1: had like over fifteen hundred people joined, which just exceeded
Speaker 1: my expectations for a first time course with no testimonials.
Speaker 2: And then after we have had.
Speaker 1: Incredible testimonies, like people literally being like I wanted to
Speaker 1: half my debt this month because it's a thirty day
Speaker 1: course and it's only eight days in and my debt's gone,
Speaker 1: and like just stuff like that where I'm like, wow,
Speaker 1: so so proud about that. And then it also like
Speaker 1: it did come with people being triggered. It did come
Speaker 1: with clearly me not being everyone's cup of tea and
Speaker 1: judgments and you know, those sorts of things, and I
Speaker 1: was just able to hold myself and literally not care
Speaker 1: and just be like I know who I am, I
Speaker 1: know what I stand for, I know my heart, and
Speaker 1: I just I really don't care if you're triggered about this,
Speaker 1: because this course is needed to other people and it's
Speaker 1: going to change their lives. Say what you want. So
Speaker 1: so fucking proud on myself. Honestly, guys, if you struggle
Speaker 1: with getting triggered by people, if it would disregulate you
Speaker 1: to get comments about you being greedy or like you know,
Speaker 1: maybe you've got a course or a business about something
Speaker 1: and you get comments and they trigger you. Go to
Speaker 1: my last podcast last week all about triggers and do
Speaker 1: that because it will be so helpful.
Speaker 2: And then the last big.
Speaker 1: Milestone is Ivy's third birthday. My baby Curl turned three,
Speaker 1: which I just I can't guys like the fact that
Speaker 1: only a couple of years ago I was like holding
Speaker 1: sweet little newborn this time of year and she literally
Speaker 1: turned three.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I'm gonna let cry thinking about it.
Speaker 1: But like I said, I'm so proud of like how
Speaker 1: I showed up this year as a mum. This year
Speaker 1: me and Ivy's relationship has just grown and strengthened as
Speaker 1: the working parent who doesn't spend every day with her.
Speaker 2: That's really special to me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it just has been incredible for me, and I
Speaker 1: have this year really highlight of my year as of course,
Speaker 1: but yeah, we had her third birthday, which I was like,
Speaker 1: time is flying by, Like it's literally just flying by.
Speaker 2: So that was really really special.
Speaker 1: But that is kind of summing up my reflections on
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, and I hope you guys loved it.
Speaker 1: Like I said, I am just so clear about twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five, not that it's like put this year in
Speaker 1: the bin. This year has just been challenging and fuck
Speaker 1: it has shaped me and grown me, and I'm so
Speaker 1: proud of myself for how I have shown up this year.
Speaker 1: But I am ready for twenty twenty five to be different.
Speaker 1: And I know if I'm the same person and doing
Speaker 1: the same things as twenty twenty four, twenty twenty five
Speaker 1: is going to be the same as twenty twenty four,
Speaker 1: and I just.
Speaker 2: App absolutely refuse.
Speaker 1: So I'm really cleaning things up. I'm setting intentions and
Speaker 1: I'm goal setting in a very specific way for twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five, and I want you to join me because
Speaker 1: it's going to be so powerful. It's going to be
Speaker 1: incredible for you to get clear of what you don't
Speaker 1: want to bring in with the year, that marsh you
Speaker 1: want to take off and who you want to step
Speaker 1: into so you can be magnetic. So magnetic just means
Speaker 1: that things are drawn to you.
Speaker 2: You don't have to push shit up a hill. They
Speaker 2: are drawn to you.
Speaker 1: And guys, I guarantee you watch me set up my
Speaker 1: year through the Magnetic Blueprint and just watch twenty twenty
Speaker 1: five unfold for me, like I just feel it in
Speaker 1: my bones. But I also know there's work. Just like
Speaker 1: I said, I've had the best year as a working
Speaker 1: mom with Ivy, but it's because of the work I
Speaker 1: did for the last two years before this year. And
Speaker 1: so I know I have to put in work to
Speaker 1: have an extraordinary twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2: And you know I'm willing to do it.
Speaker 1: And so if you're willing to do it, come and
Speaker 1: join us with the Magnetic Blueprint. It is currently on
Speaker 1: early bird pricing. Get it, don't think about it, and
