1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,640 Speaker 1: In the funniest way. And it's going to sound a 2 00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:04,720 Speaker 1: bit funny when I say this, but I often think 3 00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:06,960 Speaker 1: of like the little me, like my inner child, and 4 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:08,760 Speaker 1: I've gone through this. I've been open about that. I've 5 00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,119 Speaker 1: had a psychologist for quite a few years now. Again 6 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:12,959 Speaker 1: one of the best choices I have made. But she 7 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,200 Speaker 1: often talked about like the little version of me. And 8 00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:17,080 Speaker 1: if you think about it when you're younger, like when 9 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:18,639 Speaker 1: you're a kid and your parents tell you, like you 10 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:20,119 Speaker 1: can be anything you want to be when you grow up, 11 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:21,800 Speaker 1: you just believe it. You're like, oh, sweet, I'm gonna 12 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 1: be a fireman and I'm gonna be a ballerina and 13 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:25,520 Speaker 1: a mum and a policeman all in one day, you know. 14 00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 1: And I often think, like, bring it back to that, 15 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 1: that in that mindset, I could be anything that I 16 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,600 Speaker 1: wanted and I could tackle anything, And why did that 17 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:34,920 Speaker 1: ever have to change just because I'm that a little 18 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:36,839 Speaker 1: bit older, and yes there's some more stresses, and yes 19 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:38,879 Speaker 1: I've got more commitments. But if you bring it back 20 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,120 Speaker 1: to that, you owe it to your little self to 21 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,239 Speaker 1: be the best version that you can be today and 22 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 1: know that might not be one hundred and fifty percent 23 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: today might be seventy percent some days and forty percent 24 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,920 Speaker 1: other days. But it's just about taking that moment of 25 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 1: gratitude and going like, you know what, I'm doing the 26 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:53,640 Speaker 1: best I can for me today, give yourself like a 27 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 1: little hug in your brain and just go like this 28 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 1: is all I can do now, and that's okay. 29 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 2: Hello, and welcome back to the Rising Conker Podcast.

Let's get straight into the show. 53 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,919 Speaker 3: And so I know that on your socials too, you 54 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 3: often speak about, you know, getting out of your comfort 55 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 3: zone has been one of the greatest moves and choices 56 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,799 Speaker 3: ever made. Definitely, is there a time recently that you've 57 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,639 Speaker 3: jumped out of your comfort zone and tell us how 58 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 3: it's sort of benefited you. I. 59 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, I honestly am like scared of myself sometimes that 60 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: I don't even have a comfort zone anymore, because it's 61 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: it's quite addicting once you realize that how invigorating it is, 62 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 1: and it can be really a catalyst for change, for 63 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 1: evolution for the person that you are. It's like, oh 64 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: my god, this is the best thing ever. But probably 65 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: the most recent one would just be like making that 66 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 1: move to Brisbane and just taking that job and you know, 67 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 1: signing that lease and doing all Like I didn't know 68 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,920 Speaker 1: anybody in Brisbane whatsoever. So when I moved to the 69 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: Gold Coast, I knew a couple of people, so I 70 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 1: kind of had that somewhat comfort there. And I lived 71 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: in a grunny flat so there was still somebody that 72 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: lived in the front of the house with me. Stuff 73 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 1: like that. But taking that leap of after COVID and 74 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 1: kind of feeling quite lost and just going like, don't 75 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: have a job anymore. I'm kind of just in between leases. 76 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: So I went back and chit with my mom. I 77 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: just yeah, I felt very all over the shop and 78 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: taking that leap of faith and just going, you know what, 79 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to Brisbane. I'm gonna take the job 80 00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 1: and I'll make it work once they get there. And still, yes, 81 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: it has been the best decision I've ever made. 82 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 3: So I absolutely love that and I couldn't agree more. 83 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 3: And I think when you, like you said, like when 84 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 3: you start taking these small steps and getting out of 85 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 3: your comfort zone and honestly, any sort of thing that 86 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 3: feels like I talk about this intuition feeling of like, yes, 87 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,840 Speaker 3: it feels right, but I have like you know, fear 88 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,919 Speaker 3: or something against that, anything like that, and then I 89 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 3: go ahead and do it, and like, looking back, it 90 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 3: has always benefited me. It has always been the right 91 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 3: set and I've gone thank God, I've done. 92 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: That, And You'm sorry. I was gonna say feelings of 93 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,159 Speaker 1: Guardian angels one hundred and ten percent. Even if you 94 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,039 Speaker 1: are scared, but there is that feeling or that or 95 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: like that, a little bit of excitedness, you know it's 96 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 1: the right thing to do, yes. 97 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 3: And so talk us through that kind of decision making 98 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,159 Speaker 3: of like advice for listeners if they're currently at a 99 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 3: stage with maybe a crossroads or you know, a big decision, 100 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 3: walk us through that decision making that you usually do. 101 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,479 Speaker 1: For me, honestly, I just know I've done it a 102 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: lot recently. So if you were at the beginning of 103 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: a situation like that where you weren't sure baby steps, 104 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: you've got to remember, it's one foot in front of 105 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: the other. And like we just said before that you know, 106 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: if it excites you but it scares you at the 107 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: same time, it's still the right thing to do because 108 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 1: you want to take that leap of faith. And although 109 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: it's cliche a lot of the time, people go, oh, yeah, 110 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 1: but what if I fall? But then there's that quote 111 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 1: that's like what if you fall, but yeah, what if 112 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: you fly? And it's focusing on the fact that either way, 113 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: you're still moving forward. So yes, even if you fall, 114 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: you stand up and you keep going, but you are 115 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: still one step in front of the other. So if 116 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: you have that feeling, trust that gut feeling, even if 117 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,720 Speaker 1: nobody agrees with it, because there's been plenty of decisions 118 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 1: I'm sure you have made and I've made where people 119 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 1: have kind of looked at you and gone, why would 120 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: you do that? But you just have that feeling go Nope, 121 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 1: I think this is it and I'm gonna take it. 122 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,359 Speaker 3: Yes, And also like just putting my two bobs worth it. 123 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 3: I love it as always and there's my podcast. Yes, 124 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,479 Speaker 3: But like even if it's not like because some people 125 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 3: are like, oh, but I don't know if this is 126 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 3: the thing, and they place like a lot of pressure 127 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,159 Speaker 3: on this being you know, the end goal or something 128 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 3: like that. But even like, don't even put the pressure 129 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,840 Speaker 3: of that because so many times I've made different steps 130 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 3: and even though that's not the end goal. Now, looking back, 131 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 3: I'm like, that had to happen for then the next 132 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 3: thing to happen, and I couldn't have gone from here 133 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 3: to hear. I had to do that in between steps. 134 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,679 Speaker 3: So it's not even like, don't even be stressed about 135 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,599 Speaker 3: you know, is this let's I guess I'm talking about 136 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,160 Speaker 3: job wise, Yes, So it's not even like, oh, this 137 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 3: is the thing I do for the rest of my life. 138 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 3: Like no, let's just look a tiny bit ahead and 139 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 3: see if that feels right. Because when you try and 140 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 3: look like you know, if there is this my ten 141 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 3: year goal goal or like you know endpoint it is, 142 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:58,040 Speaker 3: it's overwhelming and you will usually backstep and go, oh, 143 00:06:58,080 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 3: this is all exactly. 144 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:00,599 Speaker 1: It's kind of like that thing of like look at 145 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: a staircase. Don't look at the top of the stairs, 146 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,839 Speaker 1: look at the step in front of you. Because coming 147 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 1: from a bit of a control freak like myself, I 148 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 1: feel that I always go but I want to control 149 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: every part. But part of the fun and the learning 150 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: and the evolution is actually the journey. It is actually 151 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: getting there and like you say, it might the end 152 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: result might not have been what you wanted, but lady, 153 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 1: that hindsight going exactly right. I had to go on 154 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 1: that stepping stone to catapult me into the next thing. 155 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: So I yet one hundred percent agree. 156 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 3: I love that. 157 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 2: Okay, r n C.

Sorry, honestly, how 208 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 3: I forget that I'm older than you? 209 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 1: Thank you? 210 00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:00,080 Speaker 3: So talk to us about why it's important for you 211 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 3: you to be so raw on social media. 212 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 1: I think because we've spoken about this before, but when 213 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 1: I was fifteen, sixteen, seventeen. I actually spoke about this 214 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 1: on my stories the other day. But I definitely fell 215 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: into that initial health and fitness trap of looking on 216 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,840 Speaker 1: social media, and I found Pinterest boards of fitness goals 217 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 1: and things that I'd written, and it was all very 218 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 1: much now what health and fitness is not for me? 219 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 1: And I think I just want to think about all 220 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,200 Speaker 1: the other girls that are that age, younger or older 221 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 1: that have might have fallen into that same trap as me, 222 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 1: and really allow them a space to understand that, like 223 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,840 Speaker 1: failure is okay, and messing up's okay, and accepting yourself 224 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 1: for where you are in this moment is okay. And 225 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: because again I felt a lot for a long time 226 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,440 Speaker 1: of being seventeen eighteen, quite a lot of shame for 227 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 1: feeling the way that I did about certain things or 228 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,319 Speaker 1: certain choices that I've made, and I would never want 229 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 1: anybody to feel that way. So I just like to 230 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,079 Speaker 1: offer that really authentic approach because I don't think there's 231 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 1: enough of it, in my opinion, I don't think there's 232 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 1: enough honesty online. And I think the more that we 233 00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 1: kind of push for that and it is growing, which 234 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 1: is awesome, and a lot more people are being real 235 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 1: and raw, but allows people to understand that, you know, 236 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 1: life isn't this big, glossy, wonderful thing that everything goes 237 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 1: right is at the end of the day, like we 238 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 1: say about the journey, about the falls, about the growth, 239 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 1: and yeah, that's just something that's really really important to me. 240 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 1: I'm really passionate about. 241 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,319 Speaker 3: And it's it's a really funny quoy because I was 242 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 3: kind of saying this to you before we jumped on here, 243 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 3: but like this morning I had to get I didn't 244 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 3: tell you this, No, I'm tell you guys. Well, this morning, guys, 245 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 3: I had to get some blood tests. So usually I'd 246 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 3: go to gym early morning and I'd get on with 247 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 3: my day, you know, to my morning routine. But I 248 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 3: went to got a blood tests and then I went 249 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 3: and got a coffee my favorite coffee place, and just 250 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 3: sat on the beach and did my kind of morning 251 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 3: routine of journaling, but did it at the beach, which 252 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 3: was really lovely. Yes, And I was feeling like super 253 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 3: overwhelmed with like I was saying, with kind of you know, 254 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,320 Speaker 3: getting certain content out and getting ready for season three 255 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 3: and this and that. And I realized that, you know, 256 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 3: all this pressure is very very much I've placed on myself. 257 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 3: But it's from these you know, these things I've seen 258 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 3: on social media of you know, this person's posting really 259 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 3: good content. So I feel the need and then you know, 260 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 3: but then I've got to get my podcasts happening, and 261 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,320 Speaker 3: I've got to do this and that. And it's when 262 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:20,080 Speaker 3: you realize that it's like you're only you, yes, and 263 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 3: what you see online is not like a real representation, 264 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 3: and you take the pressure off and you just realize, like, 265 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 3: I'm doing the best I can with what I have. 266 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,440 Speaker 1: And I think it's also just about being kind to yourself. 267 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 1: It's really hard for some reason, us as humans are 268 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,720 Speaker 1: like our own worst enemy and our own worst bully. 269 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 1: Like your brain is an amazing thing, but it's also 270 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 1: like a master manipulator. And like you say, you're doing 271 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 1: all these amazing things, but why am I focusing on 272 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: the stuff I'm not getting done rather than just going like, 273 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:49,839 Speaker 1: you know, I've done this this week, I've done this 274 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 1: this week, and yeah, so it can get a bit overwhelming. 275 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 3: Yeah exactly. So what what I was going to say is, like, 276 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 3: you know, when you get in those moments like that, 277 00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 3: how do you sort of pull yourself. 278 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:02,080 Speaker 1: Out of it in the funniest way. And it's gonna 279 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 1: sound a bit funny when I say this, but I 280 00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 1: often think of like the little me, like my inner child. 281 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,199 Speaker 1: And I've gone through this. I've been open about that. 282 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 1: I've had a psychologist for quite a few years now. 283 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,200 Speaker 1: I get one of the best choices I have made. 284 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,680 Speaker 1: But she often talked about like the little version of me. 285 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 1: And if you think about it when you're younger, like 286 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 1: when you're a kid and your parents tell you, like 287 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 1: you can be anything you want to be when you 288 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: grow up, you just believe it. You're like, well, sweet, 289 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be a fireman and I'm gonna be a 290 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 1: ballerina and a mom and a policeman all in one day, 291 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 1: you know. And I often think, like, bring it back 292 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 1: to that, that in that mindset, I could be anything 293 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 1: that I wanted and I could tackle anything, And why 294 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 1: did that ever have to change just because I'm that 295 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 1: a little bit older, And yes there's some more stresses, 296 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 1: and yes I've got more commitments. But if you bring 297 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 1: it back to that, you owe it to your little 298 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 1: self to be the best version that you can be 299 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 1: today and know that might not be one hundred and 300 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 1: fifty percent today, might be seventy percent some days and 301 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 1: forty percent other days, but it's just about taking that 302 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 1: moment of gratitude and going like, you know what, I'm 303 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 1: doing the best I can for me today, give yourself 304 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 1: like a little hug in your brain and just go 305 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 1: like this is all I can do now, and that's okay. 306 00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 3: You know. Yeah. I often have to do that, like yeah, 307 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 3: give myself that pep talk and go like, oh my god, georger, 308 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 3: you're actually doing so well, yes, and everything is so okay. 309 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 1: Like just yeah, it's actually fine, It's actually fine, yes, 310 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:12,560 Speaker 1: And I remember to be honest a little. I don't 311 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 1: know if you've ever done this before, but mirror work. 312 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 1: I used to think it was crazy. 313 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 3: I do it, and that's the most like intense thing 314 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 3: about I find it really uncomfortable, so do I. 315 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: So if anybody doesn't know what mirror work is, it's 316 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 1: like you literally stay yourself in the mirror and basically 317 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 1: like roundabout way, be like I'm freaking awesome looking at 318 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 1: yourself to yourself. Yeah. So it's it's quite funny and honestly, 319 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 1: like I'll sometimes do it and I ends up giggling 320 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 1: at myself. But either way, I think you always end 321 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 1: up in a better mood because either way you've giggled, 322 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 1: you've smiled, you've had to laugh at yourself, you've got 323 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 1: oh my god, whatever and you just move on. But yeah, 324 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 1: it's got a funny one. 325 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 3: I know. I only recently started doing that, and it's 326 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 3: really funny because it's like I got told to to 327 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 3: look at yourself in the eyes. Yes, or I'm like, 328 00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 3: I'm I kin'd even like look myself. It's really because 329 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 3: you know, I constantly look in the mirror all day, 330 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 3: you know, not the day, throughout. 331 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 1: The day, but you don't actually look at you Yes, Yes, 332 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 1: it's it's another experience. 333 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 3: It's very intense. Note but I highly recommend guys if 334 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 3: you're yeah, if you're having a shit day, like looking 335 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 3: in the mirror and going like I personally say, you know, 336 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 3: it's my motto, but like no one is me and 337 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 3: that is my power and I will like basically yell 338 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 3: it at myself and it is so powerful and it 339 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 3: is so uncomfortable, but it's great. 340 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 1: It is and I think the more you do it, 341 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 1: the more you practice it, the better it actually does get. 342 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 1: It's just getting used to it is the hard part. 343 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 3: Yes, like with everything. And I love that you touched 344 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 3: on that. You see. I saw psychologists too, because I 345 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 3: could not agree more. 346 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 1: I tell everyone to do it. I'm like, whether you 347 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 1: have past issues or no issues at all, no matter 348 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 1: what you're going through, it's talking to somebody with that 349 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 1: has zero bias against your life is such an empowering thing. 350 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 1: And I definitely want to push for the fact that 351 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 1: if you speak openly about the way that you feel, 352 00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: that is brave. It's often depicted is that it's weak. 353 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 1: But what a lot of people don't understand, like sharing 354 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 1: your emotion is one of the bravest things that you 355 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 1: can do because it's actually accepting that you're feeling some 356 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 1: type of way, whether it's great or whether it's not 357 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 1: so great or anything in between. Yeah, I honestly recommend 358 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 1: it to everyone. I'm like, you've got a problem, go 359 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:14,360 Speaker 1: to a psychologist, And. 360 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:19,400 Speaker 3: What's beautiful about that relationship with your psychologist is you 361 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 3: don't have any attachment or you don't have any sort 362 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 3: of I'm trying to think all the word is but yeah, 363 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,399 Speaker 3: so like with my psychologist, you know, I can and 364 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:32,679 Speaker 3: I guess like you know, like with Tim, for example, 365 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 3: if my husband, we've been together for over eight years 366 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 3: and so I feel like I can tell him anything 367 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,439 Speaker 3: but you know, when I'm telling him something, I'm thinking 368 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,879 Speaker 3: how does he feel? How is he going to react? 369 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 1: Exactly? 370 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,639 Speaker 3: And sometimes that might change the way you know, I 371 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 3: work it don't where's a psychologist you can say it 372 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,680 Speaker 3: so straight. So whatever you're feeling, and you know they 373 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 3: don't care, it's no burdens on them. 374 00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,240 Speaker 1: If that makes that's their job that they do huge 375 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 1: and they actually want you to talk about yourself.
