Hello, my love than Welcome back to 13 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,559 Speaker 1: the podcast. I am stepping out on my maternity leave 14 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 1: for a quick Q and a episode with you. I 15 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: just recorded my birth Story episode, which should already be up, 16 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: so if you haven't heard that, go and check that out. 17 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: But I thought I just would do a bit of 18 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: a Q and a a bit of a catch up. 19 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,959 Speaker 1: It has been a hot minute and obviously I'm in 20 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,040 Speaker 1: a whole new season. I'm currently on maternity leave. I've 21 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 1: got beautiful baby Lacey actually with us in the studio. 22 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,959 Speaker 1: Jamie is looking after her. Why I do this? I 23 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,039 Speaker 1: put a Q and a thing on my stories and 24 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 1: I'm just going to answer a whole bunch of questions. 25 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: We'll see where we go. I actually haven't even picked 26 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 1: the questions either. This is actually such a representation of 27 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 1: my current life. We're winging it. And also I definitely 28 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: feel the baby brain, so bear with me. First question, 29 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: how has the adjustment been from one to two kids? 30 00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 1: Is it harder or easier from zero to who? Won? 31 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: I love this question. Obviously it's going to be so 32 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 1: different from family to family. I'm only eight weeks postpartum, 33 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 1: but I can hands down say zero to one is 34 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 1: so much harder. One to two kids kind of feels 35 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 1: like a breeze. Tim is a stay at home dad, 36 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,640 Speaker 1: so I'm at home and he's at home, so he 37 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 1: looks after Ivy. I look after Lacey, so it's not 38 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 1: like I'm looking after Lacey and a toddler. That might 39 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 1: be a bit different. But in saying that, I'm still 40 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 1: sticking from zero to one is harder. That's also because 41 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: Ivy had colic and she was a very unsettled newborn, 42 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: and me and Tim just really struggled. We couldn't leave 43 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: the house until she was three months old. We couldn't 44 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 1: go down to the cafe to have a coffee, we 45 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 1: couldn't really do anything like that. She just cried twenty 46 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: four to seven. She was constantly upset, she woke up 47 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: all through the night. Then it wasn't until we put 48 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,119 Speaker 1: her on a feed and sleep routine that she started 49 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: to set. And I think it's just because she had 50 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: an immature digestive system. I don't know. Also, just Ivy's 51 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 1: temperament even now as a toddler, it makes sense what 52 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 1: baby she was. And then Lacey's temperament. Guys, she's an 53 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 1: actual angel. She feeds and sleeps, and yeah, she's a newborn. 54 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 1: She cries and she has her unsettled moments, but easy 55 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 1: and it feels natural. And I think it's because we've 56 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: done it before. When you have your furs, you're like, 57 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: oh my god, am I doing it right? Is she okay? 58 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 1: You're constantly unsure of yourself. Now with Lacey, I feel 59 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: so sure of myself, And it's because we've done it before. 60 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: In saying that too, the gap between Lacey, and Ivy 61 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: is a lot bigger. So Ivy's three and a half, 62 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 1: She's four in November. She's out of nappy, she doesn't 63 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: have a bottle, she can dress herself, literally, she can 64 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: go get her own cereal, all those sorts of things. 65 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: So I think that age gap also plays into it, 66 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: because it's not like we're looking after two babies. It's 67 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: we're looking after a new and we're looking after a 68 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 1: little girl. One to two kids has felt like a 69 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: breeze compared to zero to one. Obviously other people feel different. 70 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: Next one is how did you pick Lacey's name? So 71 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 1: when I was a child, I loved babies. I had 72 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 1: newborn babies. Baby born's that sort of thing I used 73 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,479 Speaker 1: to call my babies Lacey. I have no idea where 74 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: I got this name. I haven't met anyone called Lacey. 75 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: So when we were picking names, Tim picked Ivy's name 76 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 1: and I loved it, so we called her Ivy. I 77 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: picked her middle name, and then Tim was like, Okay, 78 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,479 Speaker 1: because I picked Ivy's name, I'm happy for you to 79 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 1: pick this one's name. I really loved Lacey, and Tim 80 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 1: was like, I loved Lacey too, so went with Lacey. 81 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: And her middle name is May spelled Mae, and that's 82 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: because Tim's grandma Vell May. We called her May. Tim's 83 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 1: Grammar's like the most gorgeous person. She's still alive and 84 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 1: she's one hundred years old, kicking Liz by herself. She's fabulous. 85 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 1: She's still dresses and pearls and dresses and very special. 86 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 1: And yeah, I don't know. I'm just obsessed with her name. 87 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 1: Which healing is faster for you, a sea section or 88 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,480 Speaker 1: vaginal birth? Oh my god, vaginal birth so much faster. 89 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: The sea section. I'm just gonna say. It was fucked up, 90 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: like so brutal. I personally would never opt for a 91 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,479 Speaker 1: sea section. If I had the choice, I would have 92 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: done a vaginal birth with Lacey, but obviously because of 93 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 1: being a higherst pregnancy emergency sea section, it is what 94 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 1: it is. It was fine, but the recovery was pretty hardcore, 95 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 1: and even now you can still kind of feel the 96 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: sea section scar and all those sorts of things. I 97 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 1: would have definitely preferred a vaginal birth. You cannot pick. Sometimes, 98 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 1: how is Ivy girl going with the transition? Ivy is 99 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: just so obsessed with Lacey. I think because of Ivy's 100 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,479 Speaker 1: age being three and a half nearly four. During my pregnancy, 101 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,719 Speaker 1: she had so much warmer. We'd constantly say, having a 102 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: baby's sister, and you guys can do this together. Mummy's 103 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,600 Speaker 1: having a baby, and we just really gave her a 104 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: lot of warm up of the transition. I think that 105 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,360 Speaker 1: is key now with Lacey here, I try to include 106 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 1: Ivy as much as possible. When I'm changing Lacey's nappy, 107 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: Ivy helps me with one of the sides. Ivy has 108 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,159 Speaker 1: her own baby, which she has called Lacey two, will 109 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,799 Speaker 1: change her baby, will hold her baby. And I think 110 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,840 Speaker 1: being sisters, and Ivy's such a girl's girl. She's just 111 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 1: like so smitten and so obsessed and it's so funny. 112 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 1: She goes, oh, little bubba, little dunning baba. She's so 113 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,719 Speaker 1: sweet with Lacey. It's just the best. No jealousy, no nothing. 114 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 1: I think the age BAP is where it's at has 115 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 1: been really really good. She's obsessed, she can dress herself, 116 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,679 Speaker 1: she can do all those sorts of things, and Tim 117 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,840 Speaker 1: still has a lot of time for her. Don't feel 118 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: like she feels she's got less attention or anything like that. 119 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:06,479 Speaker 1: What are your go to baby purchases for a first 120 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: time mum. So on Instagram, I'd done a post of 121 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 1: my hospital bag so you can go check out that 122 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 1: if you're prepping for hospital. It's really simple. I think 123 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: off the top of my head, you obviously need a bassinet. 124 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: Baby sleeps in a bassinet side your bed for the 125 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: first couple months. That's really important. I'm big on swaddling 126 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 1: Lacey and I did the same with Ivy. I just 127 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 1: find Lacey's sleeps so much better, so getting good swaddles. 128 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 1: I love the Ogo pouch ones. You gotta get the 129 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 1: cop furniture dresses, a change matt, all those sorts of things. 130 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 1: And a big thing too that I highly recommend is 131 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: a feeding chair that is electric, just because if you're 132 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 1: all nice and comfy and then you're trying to get 133 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: out with a newborn, you don't awake them. It's like 134 00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,239 Speaker 1: to get out of those chairs if they're not electric 135 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: or really really I used a breastfeeding pillow two, which 136 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 1: is a really handy, a night light that has a 137 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: red light, and a sound machine I use for Lacey. 138 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: You can buy so much. I think get the basics 139 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 1: and if you feel like you need something by on 140 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 1: top of that because otherwise usually buy a lot of 141 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: things that you don't use. Also, the baby cocoons, the 142 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 1: baby nests are really good, and also the Snotty body, 143 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 1: which is this suction thing that gets out snot highly recommend. 144 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: How did you get through IVF? What was your mentality 145 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 1: behind it? We did IVF to get Lacy Girl, and 146 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 1: we actually had a pretty traumatic IVF experience where we 147 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: did an egg retrieval. We got twenty eggs, eight were fertilized, 148 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 1: and when I went for the embryo transfer, we actually 149 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:58,200 Speaker 1: found out that they had accidentally killed the eight embryos 150 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: because they put the wrong sol in them when they 151 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 1: went to freeze them, and then we had to do 152 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: the whole thing again. I know, like actual shit show. 153 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 1: But despite all that with IVF, the biggest advice I 154 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 1: can give you is to get to the point of 155 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 1: doing IVF is you're really focused on having a baby 156 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 1: and you're really trying to control the situation. I want 157 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 1: to have a baby, I need to have a baby. 158 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 1: There's a lot of emotions attached around it, and the 159 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 1: biggest advice I can give you going through two long 160 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:32,200 Speaker 1: infertility journeys, first with iv and then with Lacey is 161 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:36,320 Speaker 1: obviously you're doing the things to have the baby, but 162 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: if you can make sure mentally you have other stuff 163 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 1: happening and that's not your sole focus. That was really 164 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,679 Speaker 1: helpful for me because when you kind of put all 165 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 1: your eggs in one basket and you're like, I need 166 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 1: to get pregnant this month, it's such a stress and 167 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 1: pressure that it's kind of doing the opposite. It's like 168 00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 1: what they say, just go on holidays and you'll get pregnant, 169 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: And the kind of mentality behind that is you not stressing. 170 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 1: And so if you are going through IVF, I would 171 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 1: just make sure you're filling up your cup. In other 172 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 1: areas your self care. Can you be getting yourself a 173 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 1: massage or whatever you want to do for self care, 174 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 1: whether it's walking outside, Make sure you're meditating every day. 175 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 1: We have some really great meditations in the Rise, app 176 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: regulating your nervous system, making sure you're ticking off your 177 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 1: health things, whether it's having your green juice, having your creating, 178 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 1: those sorts of things. And just make sure you're filling 179 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 1: up your friend bucket, your career or passion bucket, just 180 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 1: because it can get all consuming. And I found in 181 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 1: the first journey with infertility. With Ivy, it was all 182 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:49,560 Speaker 1: consuming and I didn't enjoy it, whereas with Lacey, I 183 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 1: went through infertility, but I still enjoyed that year. I 184 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 1: still had such a magical year. I still ticked off goals, 185 00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 1: I still did things with friends, I still traveled for me. 186 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 1: I don't even think of that year as an infertility year. 187 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 1: I just think of it as we were trying to 188 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 1: get pregnant, and I had a very different experience. So 189 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 1: that's what I would say for that. What if some 190 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 1: movies shows books that you're catching up on whilst on 191 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,680 Speaker 1: maternity leave. I love this. I'll put this on my 192 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 1: stories because it'll be easier. But just off the top 193 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 1: of my head, I've watched four seasons on Netflix Sirens. 194 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 1: I've watched on stand there's a show called Hunting Wives. 195 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 1: It's so rogue, but I really really like it. Sorry, 196 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 1: I'm honestly just watching what's new. And then in regards 197 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 1: to reading, I did start reading The Throne of Glass, 198 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 1: but then I kind of stoped reading it because it 199 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 1: was just there was a lot happening. And I've actually 200 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: started reading this new book Remaining You while Raising Them 201 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:57,200 Speaker 1: and it's the Secret Art of Confident Motherhood by Alie Worthington, 202 00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 1: and it's really good. She's kind of just talking about 203 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,079 Speaker 1: how to kind of like not lose yourself in motherhood 204 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 1: and that has been good. And then I've also been 205 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 1: reading the Power of Your Subconscious Mind by Joseph Murphy 206 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 1: that is really really good. And he's also got another 207 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 1: book called The Miracles of Your Mind, which I've read 208 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 1: and loved. If you want more of a self development 209 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: a recommendation. So when asks how do you manifest things 210 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 1: so easily? I have tried for years and nothing. Okay. 211 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 1: So I think manifestation can get such an interesting bad 212 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 1: rap because people think, because it's so trendy on TikTok 213 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 1: and social media, that it's I just wish for something 214 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,440 Speaker 1: and it happens, and that's just not the case. So 215 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: true manifestation. I'm going to break it down for you 216 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 1: very very simple. It's three steps. So first of all, 217 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 1: you have to be clear on what you want. So 218 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: a desire. It could be I want a car, It 219 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: could be a specific desire like that, or it could 220 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,120 Speaker 1: be an identity desire of I want to become a 221 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 1: person who's confident so it doesn't really matter what it is, 222 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,440 Speaker 1: but it's you actually have to be clear on what 223 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 1: you want or who you want to be. The second 224 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 1: thing is you have to rewrite your belief system, because 225 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: your current reality what you have currently manifested and guys 226 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 1: were manifesting twenty four to seven, whether you lack it 227 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:24,479 Speaker 1: or not. So your current reality is a direct reflection 228 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 1: of your current manifestations and your belief systems inside. So 229 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 1: maybe you have a belief system that money is hard 230 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: to come by, and therefore your reality feels like money 231 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,680 Speaker 1: is hard to come by. Maybe you have a belief 232 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 1: system around I'm never picked, I'm unlucky in love, and 233 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 1: then therefore your reality is you constantly attract fuck boys 234 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,679 Speaker 1: or people who treat you like shit. So anything that 235 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 1: is happening in your reality, you will find that you 236 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 1: then have a direct correlation with a belief system that 237 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 1: is the reason why that is happening to you or 238 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 1: that you're experiencing. That first step, get clarity. The second 239 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 1: step with the clarity of that desire or who you 240 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 1: want to be, what is the belief system that matches that. 241 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,200 Speaker 1: So let's say you want to be a millionaire. Obviously 242 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 1: the belief system of money is hard to come by, 243 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 1: is not going to match that the belief system would 244 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 1: need to be I gain wealth easily, money is easy 245 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 1: to attract. There is money everywhere. I'm constantly attracting money, etc. Etc. 246 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 1: So you need to really think, Okay, what are my 247 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 1: current beliefs and what are the beliefs that I need 248 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 1: to start embodying. And then the third step is embodying 249 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 1: those beliefs. The caveat with that is you need to 250 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 1: be stepping into a new identity, but what you will 251 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 1: experience is your current identity. So let me explain it 252 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 1: in a different way. To become common confident, there will 253 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 1: be let's say this lag time where you don't actually 254 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 1: feel confident, but you will have to show up like 255 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 1: you're confident, and eventually you will feel confident if you 256 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 1: embody that archetype and that person enough. But there will 257 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 1: be a lag time. So during the lag time when 258 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 1: your three D your reality is representing your old beliefs, 259 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 1: you need to regulate your nervous system. Guys, if this 260 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 1: is the one thing that you kind of learn from 261 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 1: this episode, you need to be able to regulate your 262 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 1: nervous system. So then you're able to think straight and 263 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 1: be like, I understand what's currently happening in my reality 264 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 1: is just it's old news. It's an old belief, So 265 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 1: you're not reacting to it. You're not thinking, oh shit, 266 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 1: no I am someone with no money. You're realizing, Okay, 267 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 1: what's currently happening in the three D is from old me. 268 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 1: But I'm new me, and new me thinks and feels 269 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 1: this way, so I don't have to be worried about 270 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 1: this thing. I don't have to be worried about this bill. 271 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 1: And that's where I feel everyone kind of stuffs up 272 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 1: with manifesting, And where you could possibly be going wrong 273 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 1: is are you regulating yourself so when you're embodying the 274 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 1: new identity, the new archetype, you aren't getting disregulated and 275 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: going back into the old beliefs. So again, very clearly, 276 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 1: be clear on who you want to be, what is 277 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 1: their belief system. Be regulating your nervous system so you 278 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 1: can constantly step into that new belief system, not revert 279 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 1: to the old one. And that's what I would say 280 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 1: is how I manifest things so easily is I know 281 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 1: these three or four steps, and I'm doing them in 282 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 1: every second, I'm not sitting down and doing it in 283 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 1: my journal. Yes, I do journal, but I'm constantly doing 284 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 1: these steps. For example, yesterday I had a couple of 285 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: calls for work, which I only take once a week, 286 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 1: and I was starting to feel a bit anxious, and 287 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,399 Speaker 1: I was starting to go back into the old identity 288 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 1: of Georgie who went back to work sooner, and I 289 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 1: was like, oh, does work need me? And I identified 290 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:17,159 Speaker 1: that thought and I was like, no, that's old Georgie. 291 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,679 Speaker 1: I don't actually have to feel anxious right now. And 292 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 1: so again I regulated my nervous system. I literally did 293 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 1: a quick seven minute regulate your nervous system frequency audio 294 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 1: on the Rise app. I can link it in the 295 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 1: show notes. And then I was like, yeah, I don't 296 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,679 Speaker 1: have to actually be anxious in that moment. That's actually 297 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 1: an old story, an old identity. And so at every 298 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 1: single moment in my day, I'm actually intentionally manifesting. And 299 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 1: I feel that's why I'm able to bring in new 300 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:52,119 Speaker 1: realities and desires so fast is because I've done this work. 301 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 1: I know how it works, but I'm constantly embodying it. 302 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 1: I'm not just doing it on a full moon. I'm 303 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,679 Speaker 1: not just doing it once a month. I'm doing it 304 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 1: in every single moment. And of course, if you don't 305 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,199 Speaker 1: know these steps, if it doesn't feel natural for you, 306 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,480 Speaker 1: this is what I teach. I would recommend to the 307 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 1: Manifesting Foundation's Kit, which is a new bundle we've put 308 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 1: together which has the project fast tracked, which is Manifesting 309 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 1: one oh one. It has your template, and it has 310 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 1: a masterclass, and that will help you get to where 311 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,160 Speaker 1: I am. That's everything that I've done, So I'll also 312 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 1: link that for you in the show notes because it's 313 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,920 Speaker 1: at an incredible price of just two two two, which 314 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 1: I think is about half price.

I also thought this, 333 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,959 Speaker 1: especially because being pregnant, me and Ivy were just ridiculously 334 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:04,920 Speaker 1: in love with each other. And I feel it's because 335 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,359 Speaker 1: you release this hormone when you're pregnant and your toddler 336 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 1: gets extra obsessed with you. I would just say, do 337 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 1: not worry, because your heart grows. I feel like I 338 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 1: still have all that love for Ivy, but my heart 339 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 1: has just doubled in size, and I feel the exact 340 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,440 Speaker 1: same love for Lacey. I would say, do not worry 341 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 1: about that. There's definitely difficult moments when I'm breastfeeding Lacey 342 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 1: and Ivy wants me and she's upset, and vice versa. 343 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 1: You just figure it out, and your family grows and 344 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,240 Speaker 1: your heart grows, and it's honestly just the best. Even 345 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 1: the little glimpses that I see now of Lacey and Ivy, 346 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 1: I just know that this was the best decision and 347 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 1: they're just going to have the best childhood together as sisters. 348 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,879 Speaker 1: How are you managing to do it all? I have 349 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:53,119 Speaker 1: two kids and abys with my hobby, and I'm really struggling. 350 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 1: I definitely feel for you, and I just want to 351 00:20:56,359 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 1: say my experience now is so different to my experience 352 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 1: with Ivy, and it's because I'm in such a different 353 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 1: season of my life. Like when I had Ivy, my 354 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:11,440 Speaker 1: businesses were still quite in their infancy and they still 355 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 1: needed me, so I needed to come back sooner. I 356 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,399 Speaker 1: needed to be more involved. It's just what was required 357 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,359 Speaker 1: of me during that season, and it's just what it 358 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 1: had to be. Whereas with Lacey, I was very intentional. 359 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 1: As soon as I got pregnant. I was making plans 360 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 1: with my teams so I could have a six month 361 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 1: maternity so they would be fine without me. Me and 362 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 1: him are very lucky where he can be a stay 363 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 1: at home dad, so I have a lot of support 364 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 1: if I do need to do a work call or 365 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,480 Speaker 1: if I do need to do something. It's kind of 366 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:45,960 Speaker 1: hard because you kind of don't know till you're then 367 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,919 Speaker 1: in it that you probably needed to prepare more. But 368 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 1: I would just say, if you are a business woman 369 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:55,360 Speaker 1: and you do want to experience a certain sort of season, 370 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,440 Speaker 1: you do have to prepare for it. Maybe right now 371 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: you just have to get through it, not that it 372 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 1: has to be a struggle. You might just have to 373 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 1: get through it while knowing as your business continues, things 374 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 1: will change. As your babies develop, things will change, and 375 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,880 Speaker 1: understand that you will go through certain seasons. The belief 376 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:18,680 Speaker 1: system behind this, too is I would start being very 377 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:22,200 Speaker 1: clear in your journal or however you manifest or call 378 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 1: things in how you want to feel. So I would 379 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,879 Speaker 1: be journaling I wake up and this happens, and I 380 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:32,360 Speaker 1: feel this way, my kids work in with my business, 381 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:37,200 Speaker 1: this way, my husband start getting really clear best case scenario, 382 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,159 Speaker 1: what would your life look like? And I would be 383 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,639 Speaker 1: journaling on that. And I would be focusing on that, 384 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:46,400 Speaker 1: because what our brain does is whatever you focus on, 385 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,720 Speaker 1: it finds more of. So what you could be during 386 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 1: this time instead of even then use the words I'm struggling. 387 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 1: If you're saying things like it's hard, I'm struggling, etc. 388 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 1: Even though that is truth for you at that moment, 389 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 1: you will find that you will attract more of that 390 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,679 Speaker 1: because that's what you're focusing on. For me, it was 391 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,639 Speaker 1: all about preparing my team and whatnot. But obviously you 392 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 1: can't do that right now. But it's can you start journaling. 393 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 1: Can you start reshifting your focus to what you actually 394 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 1: want to call in and what you desire start finding 395 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,680 Speaker 1: expanders for this. We actually have a really great expander's freebie, 396 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:26,679 Speaker 1: which I'll put in the show notes of what that 397 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 1: is if you don't know what it is. But basically, 398 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 1: an expander is someone who is doing what you want 399 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 1: and understand their belief system. For example, I might be 400 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 1: your expander, and my belief system around having two kids 401 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:45,640 Speaker 1: and a business is I'm supported. It's easy. I never 402 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 1: have to rush. I always get done what I need 403 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:53,159 Speaker 1: to get done, and what I didn't get done wasn't important. 404 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 1: The right opportunities are always coming to me. Money is 405 00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 1: always coming to me. I'm always abundant. I don't have 406 00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 1: to worry. I am supported by the right team and 407 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 1: the right people, and the people who aren't right fall away. 408 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:10,919 Speaker 1: All these things are my belief system around my current reality, 409 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,720 Speaker 1: and then that's what is my reality. So I would 410 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:18,199 Speaker 1: say for you, I would start getting really clear on 411 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 1: what you do want your reality to be, and I 412 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,439 Speaker 1: would be journaling, I'd be visualizing. I would be putting 413 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 1: pen to paper, regulating my nervous system and focusing on that, 414 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 1: because you will be so shocked how quickly your reality 415 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 1: can shift and change without anything actually changing. It's just 416 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 1: your mental state has changed, and how much better you 417 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:45,920 Speaker 1: can feel with just hoping. Does Lacey complete your family 418 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:49,440 Speaker 1: or would you try for another down the track? Okay, 419 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 1: so since having Lacey, I am already so clucky and 420 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,440 Speaker 1: it like I already said to all the work girls, 421 00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:58,480 Speaker 1: I'm like, give me a hundred. I want a hundred 422 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:03,160 Speaker 1: babies if that's going to change me. And Tim always 423 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 1: said we only wanted two kids. I have always said 424 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 1: I could want three. Tim has always been set on 425 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 1: the two. So look, I don't feel like our family 426 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:17,439 Speaker 1: is complete. I would happily have another baby, but it 427 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 1: obviously takes two to tango and it will definitely be 428 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 1: up to Tim. But also I can envision him with 429 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,199 Speaker 1: a little boy, so I feel like I may be 430 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 1: able to get him over the line. But also if 431 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 1: we had three girls, I don't know how he's meant 432 00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:36,360 Speaker 1: to be. So yeah, I don't know. I personally would 433 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:39,359 Speaker 1: love another, but we need to get Tim over the lion. 434 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,200 Speaker 1: So bear with me. Okay, this is a good question. 435 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 1: My partner is a pessimous, low vibe and is negative 436 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:50,200 Speaker 1: about my goals. Will this affect my manifestation? First of all, 437 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 1: why you with this partner? No, that's brutal, but I yes, 438 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,160 Speaker 1: I can understand this can happen with partners and friends. 439 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 1: I would say to this, no one can make you 440 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 1: feel a certain way. Only you have complete control over 441 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:09,120 Speaker 1: your emotions. So I would just be putting in energetic 442 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,919 Speaker 1: boundaries with your partner, and I would honestly not be 443 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:17,200 Speaker 1: talking about your manifestations and goals with him if he's 444 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 1: going to act like that, Because when you are manifesting, 445 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,439 Speaker 1: when you're claiming a new desire, it takes enough of 446 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:27,159 Speaker 1: your own energy to get on the energetic alignment of it, 447 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:31,919 Speaker 1: So to convince him too would be exhausting. So I 448 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 1: would just say, put in your energetic boundaries with him. 449 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:37,879 Speaker 1: You don't have to talk about it. Obviously, that's a 450 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 1: very hard situation, And I'm just going to say it, like, 451 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,440 Speaker 1: that sucks that you don't have that support from him, 452 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 1: but it doesn't mean that you cannot manifest whatever you're 453 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:51,120 Speaker 1: manifesting and calling your desires. It just means that he 454 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:54,160 Speaker 1: kind of can't meet you, he can't support you, which sucks, 455 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 1: but that doesn't affect your desires. Just don't let that 456 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:02,440 Speaker 1: affect how you feel. How how long do you plan two breastfeed? 457 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 1: I planned a breastfeed for twelve months. I had a 458 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,879 Speaker 1: very different breastfeeding journey with Ivy. It only lasted six 459 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:15,680 Speaker 1: because we started giving her a bottle very early on 460 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 1: so Tim could kind of be involved, and then she 461 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,800 Speaker 1: got bottle preference and she literally would not go on 462 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,200 Speaker 1: the breast. So we ended up stopping at six months. 463 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 1: And that's because I was like pumping the last couple 464 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:28,560 Speaker 1: of months and it was just exhausting and not enjoyable, 465 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:32,480 Speaker 1: and I just really regret that situation. So with Lacey, 466 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:34,639 Speaker 1: we actually haven't given her a bottle. She did have 467 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,240 Speaker 1: a bottle in the special Care nursery, but other than 468 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:40,359 Speaker 1: that and maybe one bottle randomly because I had an 469 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 1: appointment or something. She hasn't had a bottle, and so 470 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:45,399 Speaker 1: I'm not going to do it the bottle. And I 471 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:47,960 Speaker 1: know this might then be difficult later on with work 472 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 1: or whatnot, but I'm just going to make it work 473 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,399 Speaker 1: because twelve months and the grand scheme of things is 474 00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,439 Speaker 1: not a long time and I really just want to 475 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 1: make sure I can breastfeed Lacey. But I do understand 476 00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:00,719 Speaker 1: that this might change and my feelings might change. At 477 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,320 Speaker 1: the moment, we have a really great breastfeeding journey. She 478 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:07,400 Speaker 1: latter really well for a PREMI and she feeds somewhat well. 479 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,520 Speaker 1: Sometimes she's a bit like off and on and a 480 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 1: bit funny, but mostly she feeds really well. So I 481 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 1: am going to try for the twelve months, but look, 482 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:16,720 Speaker 1: we will see how we go. Last question, which is 483 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 1: a manifesting question. How can you truly believe something is 484 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:24,199 Speaker 1: for you when you don't have it or you can't 485 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:28,160 Speaker 1: see how. So I'm thinking this question is in regards 486 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 1: to manifesting technique is go to the end where you 487 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:34,880 Speaker 1: have that thing and you're experiencing that thing, and that's 488 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,959 Speaker 1: how you call it in. And the thing, guys, is 489 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,959 Speaker 1: this is just a technique. So this is just something 490 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,760 Speaker 1: to help your manifestation. Come in faster or come in. 491 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 1: But if you don't vibe with it, you don't have 492 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:51,200 Speaker 1: to use it. It's not a requirement. It's just something 493 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,760 Speaker 1: to help you. It's just something to help you get 494 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 1: on the vibe. But if you are struggling in regards 495 00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 1: to maybe the logic of it, if you think of 496 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:03,880 Speaker 1: any think before you have anything. It can feel, Oh, 497 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:05,520 Speaker 1: I don't know when that thing's going to come in. 498 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 1: I don't know how it's going to come in. And 499 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 1: then it comes in and you're like, Wow, that came 500 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:13,240 Speaker 1: in such an interesting way. If something has happened previously 501 00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 1: where you're oh, that came in such a weird and 502 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,520 Speaker 1: wonderful way, go back to that. And buildings can come 503 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 1: in really unusual or interesting and going back to your 504 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 1: past experience or otherwise. This is a whole surrender part 505 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 1: of manifesting. And I really love to go back to 506 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 1: the concept of seeing Universe, God, source, Oneness, whatever you 507 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 1: want to call, the one consciousness as the parent and 508 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,240 Speaker 1: then we are the child. I don't know if you 509 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:46,240 Speaker 1: have children, but with my toddler, Ivy, she wants jelly 510 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 1: right before bed, and I'm like, I know her having 511 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 1: sugar right before bed is not the vibe. She's not 512 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 1: going to sleep, she's going to be hyperactive, blah blah blah. 513 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 1: And so I'm like, you can't have jelly right before bed, 514 00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 1: but we can have it tomorrow. She's a toddler, so 515 00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 1: she doesn't unders stand there, So she's having a tantrum. 516 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 1: She's upset, she thinks I'm the worst person ever. Anyway, 517 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:07,800 Speaker 1: she goes to sleep, she wakes up, she has the 518 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:12,360 Speaker 1: jelly happy days like that situation. We are the child, 519 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 1: we are ivy. We cannot see that it's just around 520 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:17,880 Speaker 1: the corner that's actually going to happen tomorrow, that it's 521 00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:19,400 Speaker 1: going to happen in this way that I'm actually going 522 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 1: to feel so much better when I have it. Because 523 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,240 Speaker 1: we are the child, we don't understand all the moving 524 00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 1: parts happening. How could we. When you kind of learn 525 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:31,400 Speaker 1: how to surrender and you trust that you're supported, you're guided, 526 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 1: it's going to come to you. You just have to 527 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:38,080 Speaker 1: sit back and enjoy. You realize that's the whole point 528 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 1: of manifesting. It's not I'm manifesting something and I feel 529 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:44,880 Speaker 1: really shit, shit shit, and then I manifest the thing 530 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,840 Speaker 1: and I feel good. You get to feel good the 531 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:52,080 Speaker 1: whole time. And so when you can lean back into 532 00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,480 Speaker 1: surrender and you can feel supported, that feels good, doesn't 533 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 1: it When you understand that that's the whole cosmic joke 534 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 1: I guess is you don't actually need this thing to 535 00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:07,320 Speaker 1: feel that feeling. You can feel that feeling of that 536 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,920 Speaker 1: thing right now. And let's be honest, that's the only 537 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,960 Speaker 1: reason why we want something. We want the car because 538 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,880 Speaker 1: we want freedom, or we want luxury, we want the 539 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 1: house because we want security. We don't actually want the 540 00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:23,560 Speaker 1: physical thing or the desire. We're chasing a feeling. So 541 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 1: when you can give that feeling to yourself now or 542 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:31,320 Speaker 1: just know the feeling is coming, that is so powerful 543 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:34,760 Speaker 1: and what a beautiful way to live, rather than constantly 544 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:38,440 Speaker 1: starving yourself from the feeling, thinking the thing is going 545 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,080 Speaker 1: to give you the feeling. No, you feel the feeling 546 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:44,760 Speaker 1: first and then the desire comes. And that's kind of 547 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,720 Speaker 1: why I find it so easy to believe in the 548 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:51,760 Speaker 1: unknown and to believe in things I cannot see, because 549 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:54,960 Speaker 1: it has happened so many times before, and I'm just 550 00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,520 Speaker 1: so deeply surrendered in my manifesting work and the laws 551 00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:01,360 Speaker 1: of the universe and all that sort of thing. And again, 552 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,520 Speaker 1: if you feel that way, I would highly recommend the 553 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:09,800 Speaker 1: Manifesting Foundations bundle. It will blow your socks offs. It 554 00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:12,400 Speaker 1: will change your whole life because when you understand these 555 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:16,240 Speaker 1: principles and you embody them, this stuff gets really easy 556 00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:18,840 Speaker 1: and it feels really really good. All Right, my loves, 557 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,480 Speaker 1: I'm going to love and leave you on that note. 558 00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:23,880 Speaker 1: I hope you have loved this Q and A.
