Speaker 1: I'm a lawyer turned entrepreneur, co founder of Naked Harvest Supplements,
Speaker 1: and social media personality with a community of over three
Speaker 1: hundred thousand. I grew up believing I had to pursue
Speaker 1: the safe option and fit into a mold others had
Speaker 1: created for me. But then I entered my corporate law
Speaker 1: job and I realized that settling for a reality that
Speaker 1: did I didn't set my soul on fire, was something
Speaker 1: I was not prepared to do. I wanted more, and
Speaker 1: I have a feeling you do too. Join me and
Speaker 1: special guests weekly as we get down to the nitty

Speaker 1: thriving in your career and relationships, plus so much more,
Speaker 1: and together we'll gain the knowledge and perspective to pursue
Speaker 1: our wildest dreams and.
Speaker 2: Kick fear to the curb.
Speaker 1: Well what are you waiting for? Let's Rise and conquer.
Speaker 1: Hey guys, and welcome back to another episode of the
Speaker 1: Rise and Conquer podcast. I've got a quick little solo
Speaker 1: for you today, and it's about something that has been
Speaker 1: on my heart.
Speaker 2: And I truly believe when.
Speaker 1: I kind of have these things come up, that others
Speaker 1: are definitely feeling it too, and so I just wanted
Speaker 1: to and I know actually others are feeling this too.
Speaker 1: I've spoken to a couple of people, but I just
Speaker 1: wanted to speak about basically this pressure to be perfect
Speaker 1: and look a certain way and show up a certain.
Speaker 2: Way and basically live by.
Speaker 1: What others want from you, what others think, and what
Speaker 1: society says, you know, society standards of beauty or how
Speaker 1: a woman should be, or even the pressure that we
Speaker 1: put on ourselves. And I guess the whole message of
Speaker 1: this podcast is realizing that you are never going to
Speaker 1: be everyone's compantee or you know that saying about you
Speaker 1: could be the juiciest, ripest peach and someone's not gonna
Speaker 1: like a peach. And it's I guess I have struggled
Speaker 1: with this because I am such a people pleaser and
Speaker 1: I very much look for outside validation.
Speaker 2: It's just how I grew up.
Speaker 1: And so this is actually inspired by if you guys
Speaker 1: know Whitney Simmons. She's a big YouTuber and fitness and
Speaker 1: health influencer and she did this IGTV well actually it
Speaker 1: was on her stories first and then she put it
Speaker 1: as an IGTV highly recommend to go and check it out.
Speaker 1: And basically she was explaining that you know, she gets
Speaker 1: all these She'll get a DM that basically says like, Whitney,
Speaker 1: you've gotten fat, like you shouldn't even be being a
Speaker 1: fitness influencer. And then she'll get comments that she looks
Speaker 1: too skinny, that she hasn't got enough muscle, just basically
Speaker 1: nasty dms about how she looks and how she's supposed
Speaker 1: to be.
Speaker 2: And she was just sitting there and she was explaining, like,
Speaker 2: you're never going.
Speaker 1: To live up to everyone's standards of what you should
Speaker 1: be and now should you. And I just really resonated
Speaker 1: with that. I actually kind of make it habit that
Speaker 1: I don't go into my dms too much because I
Speaker 1: feel the exact same in regards to you know, someone's
Speaker 1: saying one thing and then someone's saying the other, and
Speaker 1: you you're trying to please someone and then you don't
Speaker 1: please other person.
Speaker 2: And I feel like I've also.
Speaker 1: Done that my whole entire life, and I'm just so
Speaker 1: like done with it, Like I'm just so done with it.
Speaker 1: And then so something else happened this morning which has
Speaker 1: really inspired this like podcast is I was doing a
Speaker 1: live workout. We have been doing live workouts on naked
Speaker 1: harvests during COVID nineteen because the gyms are shut, and
Speaker 1: so we just thought, how can we help our community.
Speaker 1: We'll do a live workout when they can follow along
Speaker 1: hopefully it gives the motivation.
Speaker 2: And we've been doing that for like literally two months now.
Speaker 1: And so I run all those and I'm not a PT.
Speaker 1: I obsolutely have a huge passion for health and fitness.
Speaker 1: I love working out. I have this like really big
Speaker 1: passion and message of you know, like I'm not too
Speaker 1: worried about, like you know, doing certain exercises and programs
Speaker 1: and whatnot. I'm just more about moving my body because
Speaker 1: I know I feel good. I know releases and doorphins
Speaker 1: and I know it just puts me in a better
Speaker 1: space mentally. And so I'm just such a big advocate
Speaker 1: for just like moving your body. So that's what the
Speaker 1: lives are for. They're just to encourage people and motivate
Speaker 1: people and get them to move their body and shift
Speaker 1: you know, negative energy and do that sort of thing.
Speaker 1: And we have such a strong community who has been
Speaker 1: loving the lives and it's like so much positivity on
Speaker 1: the lives comments and whatnot. And I was doing a
Speaker 1: live this morning, and like I did this morning, Like
Speaker 1: I woke up and you know, these lives are at seven.
Speaker 1: I woke up at six, so I'm like trying to
Speaker 1: get organized, and I was a little bit all over
Speaker 1: the place in regards to just feeling a bit scattered.
Speaker 1: But my lives like they like they're casual, Like I
Speaker 1: sit there, I have a chat to you guys. I
Speaker 1: do exercises, and also, like lives aren't necessarily the most
Speaker 1: easiest thing to do. I'm like trying to focus on
Speaker 1: what you guys want, like talking to the live. Then
Speaker 1: I have to do my timer, but I've got music.
Speaker 1: It's like it's stressful, to be honest, and so like
Speaker 1: I'm literally just doing the best I can, and I
Speaker 1: love doing it with the NH community because it literally
Speaker 1: motivates me and gets me up and gets me moving.
Speaker 2: Anyway, So long story shorts.
Speaker 1: Someone commented and I never really get nasty comments, but
Speaker 1: they just said something like they're like, oh, I don't
Speaker 1: like this live. She seems all over the place, like
Speaker 1: really unorganized. And it's funny because I saw a whole
Speaker 1: heap of girls basically comment back and defend me and
Speaker 1: be like, you know, that's why we like Georgie. She's
Speaker 1: super easy to resonate with.
Speaker 2: She's just a normal girl moving her body. Blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: Anyway, this episode is brought to you by Naked Harvest Supplements,
Speaker 1: the natural supplement brand I co founded with my brother.
Speaker 2: Our mission at.

Speaker 1: Georgie fifty at checkout for fifty percent off your third
Speaker 1: pre workout or protein. Okay, let's get back into the show.
Speaker 1: I don't usually let comments like that get to me
Speaker 1: because I really feel like I'm at a point where
Speaker 1: I really like myself who I've become, who I am,
Speaker 1: and I really feel authentic in what I talk about
Speaker 1: and how I show up on social media. And that
Speaker 1: has actually been a huge change. If you've followed me
Speaker 1: since you know, back in the day when I was
Speaker 1: just posted like very perfect photos, I have really come
Speaker 1: a long way in realizing that to be happy, you
Speaker 1: need to be kind of like happy with yourself. You
Speaker 1: need to feel like you're enough, and then basically just
Speaker 1: show up as yourself and then the people who resonate
Speaker 1: with that and who are your people will.
Speaker 2: Show up too.
Speaker 1: So I've had a big transition and I've had this
Speaker 1: big personal growth in like the last four years where
Speaker 1: I'm like, look, this is me, this is what I like,
Speaker 1: this is what I don't like, this is what I do,
Speaker 1: this is my message, this is how I want to
Speaker 1: be this is how I show up.
Speaker 2: This is how I look.
Speaker 1: If you like it, cool, come along my journey, Happy
Speaker 1: to have you here. If you don't like, I just
Speaker 1: don't really care. And that is usually like my core belief.
Speaker 1: But it's funny because this comment fully got to me
Speaker 1: and I almost was a bit triggered and I saw
Speaker 1: it and then I kind of like had a bit
Speaker 1: of a shit, Like for the rest of the time
Speaker 1: I workout was a bit shit. And then I even
Speaker 1: called Mel after and I was like, I'm so annoyed
Speaker 1: cause I feel super negative about this, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: I know, I don't usually get you know, let these
Speaker 1: sort of things get to me, but it's really getting
Speaker 1: to me. And then I was getting annoyed at myself
Speaker 1: because it was getting to me, and I said to her, like,
Speaker 1: this is super dramatic.
Speaker 2: Now I'm saying it back, but I was.
Speaker 1: Like, I just feel like I'm not good enough for anyone,
Speaker 1: Like I'm trying to please everyone and I'm just not
Speaker 1: good enough.
Speaker 2: And Mel basically just had to pep.
Speaker 1: Talk me, which is why we all need them, and
Speaker 1: so that's why I felt really cool to do this,
Speaker 1: because maybe you need this, and she was basically like Georgia,
Speaker 1: You're never gonna you know, You're never gonna be everyone's
Speaker 1: cup of tea, like you do you there's so many
Speaker 1: people in the lives who love you, who love the
Speaker 1: way you do it, like, don't even worry. And also
Speaker 1: because I said to her, I was like, I feel
Speaker 1: like I'm in this really negative place and I feel
Speaker 1: like it's really hard to get out of, which is
Speaker 1: unlike me. And then she was kind of like just
Speaker 1: stopping so hard on yourself, like you're enough, like just
Speaker 1: it's all good, and I just like I needed that,
Speaker 1: and I realized that I was kind of triggered from
Speaker 1: that because lately I have been going a little bit
Speaker 1: backwards with my core belief and I have been trying
Speaker 1: to please a lot of people and not necessarily online,
Speaker 1: but in my personal life and in my business, and
Speaker 1: I'm actually.
Speaker 2: Going through this stage.
Speaker 1: I've realized I'm going through this kind of next stage
Speaker 1: of my business where it's just too much and we
Speaker 1: need to outsource more or hire someone new or something
Speaker 1: like that, like I just need more support. And this
Speaker 1: has happened like quite a few times, and then I'll
Speaker 1: get someone and then it's great for a while and
Speaker 1: then we grow again and we need this and so like,
Speaker 1: I'm kind of realizing what's happened. But basically, I have
Speaker 1: just been spread thin in my personal life, in my business,
Speaker 1: just doing too much, and I'm just trying to please everyone,
Speaker 1: and I'm like sitting here going I can't please everyone.
Speaker 1: And so it was just such a good reminder to
Speaker 1: sort of come back to yourself and realize if you,
Speaker 1: first of all, I guess you know, start of it
Speaker 1: when I was talking more about the beauty standards and
Speaker 1: you know, fitting into society's ideas of how you should look.
Speaker 2: That was me a couple of years ago. And that
Speaker 2: was one of.
Speaker 1: The best best things I ever did, was just be
Speaker 1: okay in my own skin and realize that as long
Speaker 1: as I am happy with myself and I'm super proud
Speaker 1: of who I am and what I do and how
Speaker 1: I treat myself and how I treat my body, and
Speaker 1: I'm super kind to myself, no no one can really
Speaker 1: rock you or upset you, and you just you won't
Speaker 1: care if you know someone doesn't like the way you look,
Speaker 1: or if you're you know, too much or not enough
Speaker 1: and all that sort of thing. So I guess that's
Speaker 1: the first thing of like having the self worth to
Speaker 1: be like I am enough exactly how I am, And
Speaker 1: you know, it says a lot more about people if
Speaker 1: they say stuff like that than it does about you.
Speaker 2: And it's just it's.
Speaker 1: Such a true because you are, You're not gonna please everyone.
Speaker 1: There's always gonna be someone who, you know, if we're
Speaker 1: talking about looks, there's always gonna be someone who likes
Speaker 1: to look a certain way, whether that's small, muscular, or
Speaker 1: more slender or leaner or you know, anything like that.
Speaker 1: And then kind of the other thing of not really
Speaker 1: talking about how you look, but just how you are
Speaker 1: as a person. Like the amount of times that I
Speaker 1: have been called bossy or too much or you know
Speaker 1: whatnot is just so countless. And that's because I have
Speaker 1: a super strong personality. And for such a long time
Speaker 1: I hated that about myself because I was like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, like I can't be too much, I can't
Speaker 1: be bossy because people don't like that. And I'm sitting
Speaker 1: here and I'm telling you to you know, like f
Speaker 1: that that is just so keeping yourself small and when
Speaker 1: you are, when you truly believe and know that you're
Speaker 1: enough because I'm telling you right now, you are all enough.
Speaker 1: You're just so okay with yourself and those things don't
Speaker 1: rattle you because you know you are being your most
Speaker 1: authentic self. And when I say authentic self, like, I
Speaker 1: just mean for me, like it is Georgie to be uh,
Speaker 1: you know, I'll use their words like bossy, it is
Speaker 1: me to be very strong in my opinions and strong
Speaker 1: of my relationships and stronger business and all these things
Speaker 1: like that is what makes up me. And I wouldn't
Speaker 1: have it any other way because I have just realized that,
Speaker 1: you know, we are given these personality traits and these
Speaker 1: looks and you know what else we're given for a reason.
Speaker 1: It's up to us to accept them and appreciate them
Speaker 1: and run with them and just not get too stuck
Speaker 1: on this trap about being a certain way of being perfect,
Speaker 1: because guys, I'm telling you now, like it's it's just
Speaker 1: a bloody waste of time because you never you're never
Speaker 1: going to please everyone. You're never going to please anyone.
Speaker 1: You get that point, I'm going off on a bit
Speaker 1: of a bloody rant now. Yeah, So I just wanted
Speaker 1: to touch on that because if I'm feeling like this,
Speaker 1: you guys are feeling like this, and like I said, like,
Speaker 1: life is this journey. It's not a destination where all
Speaker 1: of a sudden you're like, oh, I have self worth
Speaker 1: and self love and I'm just so okay.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: It's a journey where you will grow and you will
Speaker 1: gain you know, self love and positivity and being okay
Speaker 1: with yourself and realizing you are enough. But then you
Speaker 1: also go through stages where you're going to doubt that
Speaker 1: and things are going to come up that trigger you,
Speaker 1: and you're going to feel like you're going backwards. I'm
Speaker 1: here like telling you it is not the case.
Speaker 2: That is just very much life.
Speaker 1: And so whether you're you know, at the very start
Speaker 1: of your journey where you're just realizing this stuff, or
Speaker 1: you've been practicing it for a while like me, I
Speaker 1: just wanted to remind you guys that you're not gonna
Speaker 1: please everyone. Don't try because also I've realized that when
Speaker 1: you try and please everyone, you aren't your full self
Speaker 1: like because you will have to either give too much
Speaker 1: or too less, if that makes sense. And I've just
Speaker 1: realized that, yeah, when you're living in your way of
Speaker 1: you're happy with yourself and it feels like authentically you
Speaker 1: I use this word a lot, but you align yourself.
Speaker 1: So I talk about align a lot with like manifesting
Speaker 1: in goals and whatnot. And it's just like when you're
Speaker 1: living in your truth and you've accepted yourself and you
Speaker 1: do believe you're enough and you're living in alignment with
Speaker 1: who you truly are, and you're not trying to please
Speaker 1: the world and society like you attract the right people,
Speaker 1: you attract the right jobs, you attract things that you want.
Speaker 1: So it's just this whole thing of coming back to yourself.
Speaker 1: You're realizing you are enough and then you're just not gonna,
Speaker 1: you know, please everyone, and that is just so okay.
Speaker 1: But I am going to love and leave you. Thank
Speaker 1: you so much for listening for this episode. I hope
Speaker 1: you enjoyed this little pet talk and I will chat
