Speaker 1: We further acknowledge country throughout Australia and their connections to land,
Speaker 1: sea and community. We pay our respect to their elders
Speaker 1: past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal
Speaker 1: and terrest Raid Islander peoples today. Hello and welcome back
Speaker 1: to the Rise and Conquer Podcasts. This is the podcast
Speaker 1: for ordinary people who want to do extraordinary things. Hello
Speaker 1: and welcome back to the Rise and Conquer Podcast. It
Speaker 1: is your host, Georgie Stephenson, lawyer turned entrepreneur, business owner,
Speaker 1: all the things. Guys. I am so bloody excited to
Speaker 1: be back in your ears. I know we had some
Speaker 1: bonus apps and I did a couple of mom episodes,
Speaker 1: but we are back to normal scheduling. You probably would
Speaker 1: have noticed this, but the potty also got a bit
Speaker 1: of a facelift, a new vibe. We haven't had a
Speaker 1: proper episode guide for six months, so we thought we're
Speaker 1: bringing back the podcast. There's going to be new branding,
Speaker 1: a bit of a new vibe, and a new schedule.
Speaker 1: Before I tell you about that, let's do a bit
Speaker 1: of a life update. So you could probably tell from
Speaker 1: the intro, but I'm a new mum and I've just
Speaker 1: come back from maternity leave. So I had Ivy in November,
Speaker 1: our gorgeous Ivy Sunday, and yeah, I've just been looking
Speaker 1: after her, easing back into work. And to be completely honest,
Speaker 1: I had to make a bit of a decision with
Speaker 1: the podcast because last year, I'm not gonna lie, I
Speaker 1: didn't give the podcasts like a lot of my time.
Speaker 1: If we're talking work capacity, it probably got ten percent
Speaker 1: of my time. And as much as like I love
Speaker 1: the podcast, I love my girl gang on here, it
Speaker 1: was just not in my parity basket. But I loved
Speaker 1: doing it, so you know, I kept it going and
Speaker 1: me and Jamie were working hard to still keep it there,
Speaker 1: but like, I wasn't giving it the most love and attention.
Speaker 1: And then I had Ivy Girl, and I had a
Speaker 1: bit of like an epiphany epiphany. Oh my god, is
Speaker 1: that the word a tear? Epif a knee? Also, guys,
Speaker 1: a tier is across for me. She is the new
Speaker 1: potty marketing manager and you might hear her sometimes because
Speaker 1: I'll ask her how to pronounce things. Oh my god, guys,
Speaker 1: I get so many reviews saying I don't know how
Speaker 1: to pronouncing, So this is great. So the epiphanmy, I
Speaker 1: was like, I need to decide if I'm going to
Speaker 1: continue the potty, because if I'm going to do it,
Speaker 1: I'm not putting ten percent into it, Like I've either
Speaker 1: got to go hard or we have to retire the potty.
Speaker 1: And so I sat with this for weeks and clearly
Speaker 1: we know what I've decided. I just decided. I was like,
Speaker 1: it is like my ultimate passion project. You guys know,
Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing that I feel called for,
Speaker 1: you know, if we want to get deep straight away,
Speaker 1: what I feel like my life purpose is is empowering
Speaker 1: other people, specifically other women, to know their worth, to
Speaker 1: go after what they want, and to feel to live
Speaker 1: a life sorry that truly feels aligned and that lights
Speaker 1: them up. And I was like, I can't quit the potty.
Speaker 1: I love the potty, So the potty is back. I'd
Speaker 1: had to really justc that. I was like, I need
Speaker 1: to put in more effort and love and we need
Speaker 1: to take this seriously. Guys, We're back. We're better than ever.
Speaker 1: You may have noticed that we have a new kind
Speaker 1: of scheduling, and so basically what it is we have
Speaker 1: two episodes going live. So we've got a Tuesday episode,
Speaker 1: which is what you're currently listening to. We are calling
Speaker 1: these episodes Knowledge is Power kIPS if you must, kind
Speaker 1: of reminds me of KPIs. Oh my god, I'm getting
Speaker 1: like PSTD from my law job with KPIs PSDD. Thank
Speaker 1: god you're here it dear, So knowledge is I got so.
Speaker 1: So Tuesday's are Knowledge is Power episodes. Basically, we're gonna
Speaker 1: pick a topic and we're gonna get super juicy, you know,
Speaker 1: think like self development, relationships, building your dream life, basically
Speaker 1: like my solo episodes. And then we are also going
Speaker 1: to release a potty on Friday, and this is going
Speaker 1: to be a fun new segment called Georgie's Hotline. So
Speaker 1: it's going to be a bit of more laid back,
Speaker 1: a bit chilled where I'm going to give my unqualified
Speaker 1: but very enthusiastic advice. So keep it fun, keep it light, heighted,
Speaker 1: keep it entertaining. If you've got a life question, if
Speaker 1: you're at a crossroads, if you need advice from a girlfriend,
Speaker 1: jump into the rise and conquer DMS, not mine, because
Speaker 1: mine our shit show Rise and conquer DMS. Put your
Speaker 1: question and yeah, you could be on the hotline. It's
Speaker 1: all anonymous, so do not stress. Juicy are the better.
Speaker 1: So that is our new scheduling. And then also before
Speaker 1: we actually get into the episode, I do want to
Speaker 1: just hype the potty up because we crossed a very
Speaker 1: special milestone. We have now each six million downloads. Guys.
Speaker 1: That is it's huge, and I'm just so honored that
Speaker 1: you guys continue to listen with all my mispronunciations and laughing.
Speaker 1: You know in my episodes you've stuck here and you
Speaker 1: clearly share it with your friends and family. I'm just
Speaker 1: so appreciative of you, guys, and I cannot wait to
Speaker 1: bring you some more or some content this year. Also,
Speaker 1: one last thing before we get into the episode, I
Speaker 1: promise you we are there soon. You may have noticed
Speaker 1: we have a new tagline. I did say in our
Speaker 1: intro this podcast is for ordinary people doing extraordinary things.
Speaker 1: So for the past few years, you guys know, I
Speaker 1: have been really aligned with the affirmation no one is
Speaker 1: you and that is your power. Still love it, still
Speaker 1: my favorite saying ever. But you know with a potty facelift.
Speaker 1: We've also gone bit of a new quote. So the
Speaker 1: reason why we picked this is because I'm just your
Speaker 1: everyday gal and I've done some pretty awesome stuff pat
Speaker 1: self and shoulder like flex and I just want you
Speaker 1: guys to know through this podcast, through the people we interview,
Speaker 1: we're gonna have some really inspiring guests. Is it is
Speaker 1: possible for you too? And never put anyone onto a
Speaker 1: pedestal because if they can do it, you can do
Speaker 1: it too. So I thought it was just a really
Speaker 1: really unique, fun little tagline that we're going to add
Speaker 1: to the potty because that's something I really want you
Speaker 1: guys to you know, feel into and to believe. All right, guys,
Speaker 1: we're bad to get into the episode. Honestly, it's the
Speaker 1: worst when your team grows because it's like two against
Speaker 1: one now in the office and a tear and Jamie
Speaker 1: are making me do the Spye challenge. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you guys have seen this, It's probably not the
Speaker 1: best challenge to do on a podcast because you're literally
Speaker 1: like just gonna hear disgusting burps. Basically, the point of
Speaker 1: the challenge is for me to drink a whole sprite
Speaker 1: bottle without burping, and don't worry. We're filming this so
Speaker 1: you guys get to see it. We're trying to make
Speaker 1: the body a bit, you know, fun and entertaining. So
Speaker 1: I don't actually know if this is gonna be fun
Speaker 1: and entertaining or just gross. But let's see how it goes.
Speaker 1: All right, guys, are you ready? It's like a tear
Speaker 1: is like shaking it up. I'm actually not the biggest
Speaker 1: fan of sprites. It's kind of just tasteless. So aim
Speaker 1: of the game. Drink as much sprite as possible without burping. Easy.
Speaker 1: I'm also just not really good at like drinking things fast.
Speaker 1: Could never be that person whose goales things. No, I
Speaker 1: can feel bubbles like building up. But fine, you watch
Speaker 1: I won't burn now and then the whole episode I'm
Speaker 1: gonna burt. I also just say, it's so much sushi,
Speaker 1: so this is just not a good combo. I literally
Speaker 1: don't feel like I need a burb at all. I
Speaker 1: feel so sick. What finish? Finish it? Alright? A dear? Okay,
Speaker 1: Oh no, it's coming, it's coming.
Speaker 2: You're not gonna work?
Speaker 1: Oh no, I feel so sick. I'm gonna record a
Speaker 1: whole episode now, I know, but I'm just trying not
Speaker 1: to burb. I just need to like relax. Do I
Speaker 1: actually have to finish the bottle? Oh? No?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: Like I vomited? What is happening? What is it?
Speaker 2: Guys?
Speaker 1: I reckon, I got like halfway. I'm like, the second
Speaker 1: life smell is like bride and sushi. That is disgusting.
Speaker 1: Idea the ship you guys, maybe I'm like so hot now,
Speaker 1: Oh my god, if my mom listens to this episode,
Speaker 1: she's gonna be like disgraced. All right, guys, let's get
Speaker 1: into the episode. This episode is a shit show and
Speaker 1: I love it. All right, Guys, today we are chatting
Speaker 1: life resets or refreshers. So I know it's the middle
Speaker 1: of the year, so you might be feeling a little
Speaker 1: bit burnt out, like you've lost that spark. Maybe you
Speaker 1: just don't have the same motivation for your goals that
Speaker 1: you did at the start of the year, or maybe
Speaker 1: they've even changed, or maybe you feel like you're just
Speaker 1: going through the motions. Life feels a bit mundane and
Speaker 1: you're just feeling a bit med. Well, this episode is
Speaker 1: for you, So guys, we are shaking things up. I
Speaker 1: know I need this episode, and I'm gonna get you
Speaker 1: to really think about what is happening right now, and
Speaker 1: I'm going to give you some tools to reignite that spark. Also,
Speaker 1: because I love you guys so much, this episode has
Speaker 1: a matching mini free ebook. You know, I love my ebooks,

Speaker 1: in the Facebook group. Come and join us. It is
Speaker 1: just Rise and Conquer podcast community on Facebook. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: the link will be in the show notes. When I
Speaker 1: think back to the first time I really had well,
Speaker 1: I really needed a big life reset was back in
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. So to set this scene, this is when
Speaker 1: I had quit my law job. So I had come
Speaker 1: to a crossroads where I knew, well, I kind of
Speaker 1: knew that even after doing six years of study, four
Speaker 1: years of work in the field of family law, it
Speaker 1: just wasn't what I was meant to be doing at
Speaker 1: that moment, and it just wasn't fulfilling me. And I
Speaker 1: just had this like burning desire that I was meant
Speaker 1: to do something different, and it was like over there,
Speaker 1: and I had come kind of come to this crossroads
Speaker 1: where I was like, if I don't go and figure
Speaker 1: this thing out, I just I know I'm going to
Speaker 1: regret it. And at this point, I had my Instagram,
Speaker 1: I had a small community. I loved creating content, but honestly,
Speaker 1: there was not too much more than that. It's not
Speaker 1: like I had Naked Harvest or my ebooks or any
Speaker 1: other source of income except paid partnerships with brands, which
Speaker 1: is not necessarily something that is a long term option.
Speaker 1: But at that point, I just knew this was the
Speaker 1: right thing to do, and I just it was a
Speaker 1: heart desire. You guys know, I chat about heart desires,
Speaker 1: and it honestly wouldn't have made sense to anyone else. Like,
Speaker 1: imagine telling your parents after six years of study that
Speaker 1: you're like quitting law and gone off and doing social
Speaker 1: media and you had, like, you know, land in an
Speaker 1: amazing job. I had a grad position. Imagine telling Mama
Speaker 1: did that bit? I knew I had to follow my heart,
Speaker 1: so I did it, and it paved the way for
Speaker 1: everything I have in my life now. Obviously it was
Speaker 1: so scary at the time, but that was not actually
Speaker 1: the step that caused a reset. It's really funny because
Speaker 1: that decision that like following my heart then really opened
Speaker 1: the floodgate for what would be resetting my whole life.
Speaker 1: So yes, quitting a safe corporate job was a reset,
Speaker 1: but it's what happened after that was most interesting. You See,
Speaker 1: previously quitting I would sometimes listen to my intuition. But
Speaker 1: this is before my like I really got into my spirituality.
Speaker 1: We could say before my spiritual awakening, but that's a
Speaker 1: whole other episode in itself. And it was like, really
Speaker 1: before I started believing in a lot of the core
Speaker 1: topics that we chat about in this podcast, I kind
Speaker 1: of knew what intuition was. I was kind of following it,
Speaker 1: but there was just a lot of noise. So I
Speaker 1: think we all know, like when we're in our twenties,
Speaker 1: especially at the start, like I was partying with my
Speaker 1: friends a lot, doing a job because you know, getting
Speaker 1: the approval of my parents, like just trying to pay bills,
Speaker 1: like not necessarily like listening to my intuition and really
Speaker 1: like listening to my heart desires. This huge decision of
Speaker 1: finally listening to my intuition really sent a signed to
Speaker 1: the universe that I was ready for more. I was
Speaker 1: ready to live in alignment. And also, guys, just like
Speaker 1: a quick side note, so when I'm talking about alignment
Speaker 1: and heart desires and purpose and intuition, if you're a
Speaker 1: long time listener of the pody, you would know these terms.
Speaker 1: But if you don't, if you're new here, hi, hello,
Speaker 1: welcome to the show. So all this stuff that I
Speaker 1: talk about, so even when I talk about your desires,
Speaker 1: everything that you desire is important and warranted, and that
Speaker 1: is going to look so different to you and to
Speaker 1: me and to anyone else, so it could be on
Speaker 1: a completely different level or scale. When I talk about intuition,
Speaker 1: this is something we all have, whether you listen to
Speaker 1: your intuition or you've shut it off. It's something we
Speaker 1: all have. And when I talk about purpose, this doesn't
Speaker 1: have to be like an almighty purpose. I truly believe
Speaker 1: like my purpose is empowering people, mostly women, to realize
Speaker 1: their full potential and go after what they want. Your
Speaker 1: purpose could be so many things. It could be being
Speaker 1: a great mother. It you know, you could be the
Speaker 1: mother who raises the next prime minister sort of thing.
Speaker 1: It could be you know, purpose of sustainability, or literally
Speaker 1: anything big or small. I'm not talking about you know,
Speaker 1: when I talk about my heart desires, it's not like
Speaker 1: this huge thing. It's honestly the little things. Sorry, back
Speaker 1: to the story. So I had made this huge decision
Speaker 1: which was very intuitive me and it was a shift
Speaker 1: into alignment and it was honestly then the catalysts. So
Speaker 1: I remember quitting my law job, being at home creating content,
Speaker 1: but something just didn't feel right, like something was missing.
Speaker 1: And this is when I started journaling. And I also
Speaker 1: started going on one big walk every day. So I
Speaker 1: was working from home and most days I wouldn't leave
Speaker 1: the house. So this walk with my puppies was like
Speaker 1: getting out of the house and on the walk I
Speaker 1: would meditate. My meditating at that time was literally just
Speaker 1: putting on meditating calming music, and walking. I'd often put
Speaker 1: on ocean noises because I actually used to do that
Speaker 1: at work to try and drown out the office noise
Speaker 1: and get work done. And I found that noise to
Speaker 1: just be super comforting. So I'd put on ocean noises
Speaker 1: and I would just continue to write in my journal
Speaker 1: stuff like something just feels missing, something feels off. I'm
Speaker 1: happy with my decision, but like I need to know
Speaker 1: what's next sort of thing. And I know I knew
Speaker 1: something good was coming. I just I had no idea.
Speaker 1: It just felt super super foggy. And I kept working,
Speaker 1: I kept journaling, kept like, you know, just doing life.
Speaker 1: And it wasn't until one day I journaled this entry
Speaker 1: and I remember this so specifically, and this was like
Speaker 1: the journal entry would have gone something like this. I
Speaker 1: thought I loved the city. I often told people my
Speaker 1: dream would be to live in an apartment overlooking the
Speaker 1: botanical gardens walking to work, which would have been like,
Speaker 1: you know, my corporate office job, wearing cute Q corporate outfits,
Speaker 1: if you know, you know, Friday drinks on Brisbane City River.
Speaker 1: You know, even though I had quit my job, I
Speaker 1: realized that I still really identified with that person, and
Speaker 1: I only believed that that was the person I am
Speaker 1: because I had created that person through like a projection
Speaker 1: of what I thought I wanted. And so if we
Speaker 1: really get to the crux of it, you know, I
Speaker 1: did law because I wanted to impress people, because I
Speaker 1: wanted to make my parents happy. I did enjoy the
Speaker 1: actual sub but it's not like that felt like my calling.
Speaker 1: And then I created this whole person around my law degree.
Speaker 1: So I'm a city girl. I love wearing Q corporate outfits.
Speaker 1: I love you know, Friday afternoon drinks, et cetera. And
Speaker 1: for the first time journaling that I had like realized
Speaker 1: that I had created this whole projection of what I
Speaker 1: thought my life had to be going off you know,
Speaker 1: other people's belief and basically trying to please other people.
Speaker 1: So then for so long after that, I was just
Speaker 1: journaling the most simple things like what actually brings me joy,
Speaker 1: what do I enjoy doing? And you know, where do
Speaker 1: I see myself in five years if I like strip
Speaker 1: everything back and I just do things for me, like
Speaker 1: where do I see myself in five years? What do
Speaker 1: I enjoy doing? And this kind of brought up the answers. Actually, no,
Speaker 1: I remember. It was this journal entry where I was like,
Speaker 1: when was the time that I is felt pure joy?
Speaker 1: And it was like just for no one but me,
Speaker 1: and I honestly could not think of a time going
Speaker 1: back until I was a child, Like I couldn't think
Speaker 1: of a more recent time than when I was a child,
Speaker 1: and it was when I was at the beach for
Speaker 1: my family, because we would go on holidays every school
Speaker 1: holidays to the beach. My family was a beach fan,
Speaker 1: and I just remember those are probably just my best memories,
Speaker 1: just playing at the beach with my brothers. And also
Speaker 1: at that point, my brother had just moved to the
Speaker 1: beach and I just had this like light bulb moment
Speaker 1: where I was like, I can't move to the beach
Speaker 1: because you know, that's what you just do on holidays,
Speaker 1: Like you can't enjoy yourself every single day. And basically
Speaker 1: I just had this light bulb moment of oh my God,
Speaker 1: like I have this thing in my head that I
Speaker 1: can't be, you know, the person who moves to the
Speaker 1: beach because I can't enjoy myself every single day, even
Speaker 1: though I knew, you know, a daily beach walk would
Speaker 1: be my source of long story short, really going off
Speaker 1: on a rent. Yeah, but basically that's when I realized
Speaker 1: that I could move to the beach. I could actually
Speaker 1: have that beach walk and find that bit of joy
Speaker 1: that you know each day and you guys currently know
Speaker 1: I live at the beach. I go for a beach
Speaker 1: walk every single day. And that's like just such a
Speaker 1: strong example of Yes, obviously, quitting my corporate job is
Speaker 1: just such a huge life reset, but it then really
Speaker 1: was the catalyst to the next life reset, which was
Speaker 1: moving to a different city and really slowing down. I
Speaker 1: used to be such like a even though I'm a
Speaker 1: very busy person, I used to be like so fast paced,
Speaker 1: you know, a city life, and now I live at
Speaker 1: the beach with my family and things are so different.
Speaker 1: So I know that was like a very extreme example,
Speaker 1: but you can see that when I was in Brisbane
Speaker 1: and I was living my life life on the terms
Speaker 1: of the goal of being you know, a successful family lawyer,
Speaker 1: city life, even when I had quit that job, I
Speaker 1: was still stuck in that identity and I think it's
Speaker 1: really important for us to like ask what current identity
Speaker 1: are we stuck in that is not really ours? Like
Speaker 1: are you currently doing things a certain way? Maybe it's
Speaker 1: a routine, maybe it's the way you dress, where you live,
Speaker 1: but you've just done it for so long, or maybe
Speaker 1: it made sense previously because you had, you know, picked
Speaker 1: a certain goal, you had projected that you were supposed
Speaker 1: to be this sort of person, and maybe that just
Speaker 1: doesn't align to you anymore. And so it's like about
Speaker 1: asking yourself, do I actually identify with my current life
Speaker 1: or is it something that I had picked and really
Speaker 1: paved for a previous self. I know, that's a huge question. Wow,
Speaker 1: there's also some smaller question in the ebook to really
Speaker 1: kind of get you to that point. And like my
Speaker 1: biggest advice, even if it is the tiniest like niggling feeling,
Speaker 1: and if it's not clear but it's intuitive feeling, don't
Speaker 1: push it down. I pushed it down for so long.
Speaker 1: I knew, probably two years ago before I actually cut
Speaker 1: my corporate job, that that was like the right thing
Speaker 1: to do, but I just like I could not get
Speaker 1: to that point. And it's fine because I truly believe that,
Speaker 1: like you know, everything happens for a reason, and I
Speaker 1: that wasn't my time. But I think it's really really
Speaker 1: important to be listening to those little feelings because they
Speaker 1: are often the you know, the things that are bringing
Speaker 1: you to the big, big parts of your life. And
Speaker 1: my biggest takeaway from that part of my life is
Speaker 1: just really following the joy can like will just never
Speaker 1: be wrong. For me, it was following following a memory
Speaker 1: of joy that I had as a child which led
Speaker 1: me to where I am now, and also just knowing
Speaker 1: like that the simple joy of being able to go
Speaker 1: the beach walk every day, like that's what changed my life. Really.
Speaker 1: So another big life reset I had my life was
Speaker 1: actually when I was having health issues back in twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: So this is when me and Tim were trying to conceive.
Speaker 1: We weren't getting pregnant, and I started to look into
Speaker 1: my health and basically I found out I was very unwell,
Speaker 1: which didn't make sense, but it was just I think
Speaker 1: it was a long time coming because I had felt unwell,
Speaker 1: but I had just honestly ignored it, and I think
Speaker 1: I had felt that way for so long I just
Speaker 1: got used to it. So I went on this journey
Speaker 1: of figuring out that my breast and plants were making
Speaker 1: me sick and I explanted them, and I also had
Speaker 1: a miscarriage at the time. It was a very intense,
Speaker 1: sad time of my life. But during that time, I
Speaker 1: had a completely reset and like honor where I was at.
Speaker 1: So I'm someone who loves to work out for my
Speaker 1: mental health much you know, identify with the girl who
Speaker 1: works out. I love to sweat, I love a physical challenge,
Speaker 1: and most of the year, most of that year, sorry,
Speaker 1: I had to stop doing what I loved to look
Speaker 1: after my health health. I had to really like honor
Speaker 1: my healing journeys. Sometimes a reset can mean like reprioritizing things.
Speaker 1: So even if it's not the end goal for me,
Speaker 1: stopping the working out and slowing down wasn't ideal because
Speaker 1: that's like both things is something that I love, but
Speaker 1: I needed to honor where I was at. I was
Speaker 1: super unwell. I needed to slow down and really like
Speaker 1: listen to my health. And I've spoken about this a lot,
Speaker 1: but this is such a prime example where a season
Speaker 1: of reset was important. And maybe this is something you're
Speaker 1: going through where you need a season of reset. So
Speaker 1: I personally believe trying to balance life is ridiculous, and
Speaker 1: especially if you want an extraordinary life. I just don't
Speaker 1: believe balance is something you can have all the time. So,
Speaker 1: for example, if you are starting a business, it's in
Speaker 1: the startup phase, it's going to be grueling. You're going
Speaker 1: to have to put a lot of energy into it
Speaker 1: early mornings, late nights, and that is not going to
Speaker 1: be sustainable forever. But honestly, I think that's necessary at
Speaker 1: the start of starting a business, and it's just you know,
Speaker 1: something you have to do. But then you might shift
Speaker 1: and you might start prioritizing different things once your business
Speaker 1: gets to a point where you can spend less time
Speaker 1: in it. And that's just an example of what a
Speaker 1: season is. So another point of asking yourself if you
Speaker 1: need a life reset is what season are you currently in?
Speaker 1: What are you prioritizing? Does it make sense with your goals?
Speaker 1: Do you maybe need to switch up this season? So, guys,
Speaker 1: this then brings me to my latest life reset. I
Speaker 1: feel like a lot of people listening to this party
Speaker 1: now can relate to this, and this is the life
Speaker 1: reset of having my gorgeous girl Ivy Sunday. I sure
Speaker 1: don't need to explain to anyone what a huge life
Speaker 1: reset having a child is. Honestly, I had two years
Speaker 1: to prepare for it, as it took Tim and I
Speaker 1: a year of trying to conceive and then almost a
Speaker 1: year of being pregnant. But I still was not ready
Speaker 1: for it, because it's just it's so huge. I can't
Speaker 1: even explain it. I feel like until you go through it,
Speaker 1: you just you can't even articulate it. But having a
Speaker 1: baby is, honestly, it's like a death of your old life.
Speaker 1: I remember the first two months after having Ivy. Even
Speaker 1: though I was so beyond happy to be a mum
Speaker 1: and so grateful, especially Ivy's mom, I'm just so in
Speaker 1: love with her, I just can't but I still had
Speaker 1: to grieve my old life. This really kind of brought
Speaker 1: me to a place where I had to reestablish a
Speaker 1: lot of things in my life. And this is something
Speaker 1: to think about. Do you need to re establish some
Speaker 1: things in your life? So, for example, do you need
Speaker 1: to re establish routines and habits. So before Ivy, my
Speaker 1: morning routine was long. Oh my god, it was so good.
Speaker 1: I would go to gym and then I would journal
Speaker 1: and I'd like sage the house and have my coffee
Speaker 1: and write down like you know, like business ideas, listen
Speaker 1: to a podcast, and then I'd like roll into work
Speaker 1: and then it would be fine because I could just
Speaker 1: work late in the afternoon. But with a baby, you
Speaker 1: just you have no die. All these practices are still
Speaker 1: important to me, and I remember when I had Ivy,
Speaker 1: I somehow had to figure out how I was then
Speaker 1: going to fit Ivy into my life, you know, like
Speaker 1: how I was going to do gym, how it's going
Speaker 1: to meditate and journal, because these things are so important
Speaker 1: to me. And so you know, I've got to a
Speaker 1: point now where I work out before she wakes up,
Speaker 1: and I often do a meditation on the drive to work.
Speaker 1: And I've had to reshuffle things around. And it was
Speaker 1: not by choice. It was because I had this huge
Speaker 1: life reset, but it was necessary. And I think for
Speaker 1: a time there, I almost just was hesitant about this
Speaker 1: because I was very stuck in what I was previously doing.
Speaker 1: I think it's really important if you have come to
Speaker 1: a new stage of your life not to get stuck
Speaker 1: and not to think, oh, but when I was at
Speaker 1: this previous job or with this previous person, or you know,
Speaker 1: whatever it was. I used to do things this way
Speaker 1: and it was better not to get stuck in that
Speaker 1: and going, Okay, what's currently happening in my life? What's
Speaker 1: important that I want in my routines and habits. It's
Speaker 1: how am I going to fit in now? And have
Speaker 1: a bit of fun with it. Like I tried to
Speaker 1: not be negative with it, and I was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I don't love getting up before in the dark, but
Speaker 1: I guess you know, I'm getting shit done. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: work out before Ivy wakes up. And even though meditating
Speaker 1: in the car is not ideal because I'd love to
Speaker 1: just be sitting still, it's like it's the only fifteen
Speaker 1: minutes I've got, so that's that's what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 1: I also like, actually a big like reset with Ivy
Speaker 1: two is I had to re establish like my dress sense,
Speaker 1: so I actually wrote a post about this on Instagram.
Speaker 1: I went through this stage where I had been dressing
Speaker 1: for pregnancy for so long that after Ivy was born,
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't even know my fashion sense
Speaker 1: or what I like wearing or like what feels good
Speaker 1: on my body, and I had to go through like
Speaker 1: this whole journey of that. Some things I did with
Speaker 1: that was like I created a Pinterest mood board and
Speaker 1: I was like, what, you know, fashion sort of styles
Speaker 1: do I want to try? And then I went to
Speaker 1: Zara and just like try it on a whole bunch
Speaker 1: of things. And then I was like, Okay, these styles
Speaker 1: kind of like work good with my body right now.
Speaker 1: So that was like kind of like a reset that
Speaker 1: I had to go through. And again that was like
Speaker 1: not being negative about it and just being like, Okay,
Speaker 1: it's new. I'm going to take it as it is
Speaker 1: and try and see this as a positive of I
Speaker 1: get to completely re establish my fashion sense. Still not
Speaker 1: there yet, but trying. And then like with Ivy, we
Speaker 1: me and Tim had to totally reset and re establish
Speaker 1: our relationship and how we spend time together how we
Speaker 1: previously used to do. That just is not possible with
Speaker 1: a baby. So look, we're still kind of working on that,
Speaker 1: and I think I'd love to bring Tim on the
Speaker 1: potty to chat about, you know, a relationship after a baby,
Speaker 1: because it's just a whole other ball game, but that's
Speaker 1: something we've had to re establish. I also had to
Speaker 1: like decide what work projects I wanted to content you
Speaker 1: and what I wanted to say no to and also
Speaker 1: like to be completely real to you, real with you. Sorry,
Speaker 1: I had to establish how I find joy. So like
Speaker 1: having a baby as rewarding and great as it is,
Speaker 1: I think we can all be real here, real here,
Speaker 1: and it's kind of lame, like you can't do exciting
Speaker 1: things like you dude before. Oh my god, I'm so
Speaker 1: sorry if I'm offending anyone. Previously, my life is very
Speaker 1: fast paced. I could, you know, just pick up, I
Speaker 1: could go to Melbourne, I could do certain things with work.
Speaker 1: I could do things last minute. You could, you know,
Speaker 1: friend could call you be like do you want do
Speaker 1: dinner tonight? You're like, yeah, sure, let's do it. And
Speaker 1: with a baby, you just like you can't just like
Speaker 1: leave the house obviously, and you can't just leave like
Speaker 1: I can't be like, oh tim, a gulfriend wants to
Speaker 1: do dinner tonight, like see U. Like if I want
Speaker 1: to do something like that, I have to plan it
Speaker 1: like two weeks ahead of time. And so having a child,
Speaker 1: it can and especially when you have a newborn. We
Speaker 1: like Ivy was a colic newborn, so she cried a
Speaker 1: lot and it was honestly so stressful to be in public,
Speaker 1: so we didn't go on public at all when she
Speaker 1: was a newborn, so we just spent most of five
Speaker 1: weekends at home. And I had to like really re
Speaker 1: establish and reset my standards around that to get to
Speaker 1: a place where it's like I was content with doing
Speaker 1: those things and now like the most simplest thing, like
Speaker 1: if I get to on a Friday night, have my
Speaker 1: favorite takeaway and watch selling Sunset without I'd be waking
Speaker 1: up uninterrupted, like that is goals. That is like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, this is the best thing ever. And like
Speaker 1: you're probably thinking, that's the lamest thing. I'm so happy
Speaker 1: with that. And I had to like really work through that,
Speaker 1: and you know what, guys. Another great example is this episode.
Speaker 1: So this middle part is actually on a completely different
Speaker 1: day as the start. You probably tell because oh my god,
Speaker 1: the intro is like chaotic. I was doing like the
Speaker 1: Sprite Challenge. You can tell it's different because there's no
Speaker 1: birthing in this. It's so chaotic. And we went straight
Speaker 1: into recording this reset part and I had back to
Speaker 1: back meetings, I had super hectic day at work, and
Speaker 1: we recorded it in the afternoon. We had people coming
Speaker 1: in and out. People were like laughing, We're telling people
Speaker 1: to be quiet. My brain also just wasn't working because
Speaker 1: it was the afternoon. And then, like compared to how
Speaker 1: I used to record episodes is I would wait till
Speaker 1: I felt inspired. So usually this was like on the weekend,
Speaker 1: on a Saturday morning, I wasn't working. Team was at golf,
Speaker 1: the house was quiet. You know, maybe I went for
Speaker 1: a beach walk or a swim. I probably did some
Speaker 1: card pulling, meditating, coffee, all that sort of thing. And
Speaker 1: then it like this like inspirational episode would come to
Speaker 1: me and I would just like jump on the mic.
Speaker 1: Because I used to record at home, I would never
Speaker 1: script anything. And then you know, I have We've done
Speaker 1: the potty studio in the NHH warehouse, and I've realized
Speaker 1: that it's like I've got to change things because obviously
Speaker 1: I can't just wait for inspiration because we're putting out
Speaker 1: episodes every week for you guys. And obviously I can't
Speaker 1: just wait for a Saturday because those Saturdays don't really
Speaker 1: happen anymore with you know, a baby. And so I'm
Speaker 1: now realizing that I have to re establish how I
Speaker 1: get creative and how I feel inspired. So I actually
Speaker 1: woke up at four thirty am on Saturday morning and
Speaker 1: I had like my inspiration for this episode and I
Speaker 1: had to kind of like write it out and get
Speaker 1: it like really really perfect so then I could come
Speaker 1: in and record. And that's so different to how previous
Speaker 1: me did things. But I'm having to make it work
Speaker 1: with IV and I'm having to, you know, re establish
Speaker 1: how I do things, and that's okay, I'm doing it okay.
Speaker 1: So my loves refreshes and resets. They're so necessary. My
Speaker 1: three examples, you know, some are a bit extreme, some
Speaker 1: are small, some are big. It can look so different
Speaker 1: to everyone at different times of your life. But I
Speaker 1: think the main thing is knowing that we are constantly growing,
Speaker 1: we're constantly evolving as people, and sometimes we kind of
Speaker 1: get to this point where we don't realize that we
Speaker 1: had been out of alignment, you know, for quite a while,
Speaker 1: and we kind of have to find our way back.
Speaker 1: And I think, like, if you're feeling stagnant, if you're
Speaker 1: lacking joy or just things aren't feeling right, it's probably
Speaker 1: time for a reset. If it doesn't, it doesn't have
Speaker 1: to be anything crazy like, don't listen to this episode
Speaker 1: and then go quit your job. You know, well you can,
Speaker 1: you definitely can, and then come jump in my DMS.
Speaker 1: But it doesn't have to be anything crazy like that,
Speaker 1: like you know, quitting your job and moving to the
Speaker 1: beach like my example. I think it's important to know
Speaker 1: that simple changes like constantly. It could be changing up
Speaker 1: your morning routine. It could be finding a new hobby.
Speaker 1: It can be deciding to spend more time with someone
Speaker 1: or less time with someone. Maybe you're realizing that, like
Speaker 1: you know, someone is draining your energy. It can be
Speaker 1: something so small. But I think the biggest thing going
Speaker 1: through life is life is meant to feel good. Yes,
Speaker 1: we go through struggles, and if you're currently in one,
Speaker 1: I'm thinking of you. I am sending love. Make sure
Speaker 1: you honor yourself in this season and be kind to yourself.
Speaker 1: But life is meant to feel good. And if you
Speaker 1: have lost your spark, it is probably time to shuffle
Speaker 1: some things around and get it back, and it's probably
Speaker 1: time to do a bit of a life reset and
Speaker 1: take action. No one can change your life except you,
Speaker 1: And like I said, we're always changing, we are always evolving,
Speaker 1: and that's amazing. I think sometimes we can kind of
Speaker 1: get in this like attitude of it's a negative when
Speaker 1: we have to reset or find a new habit or
Speaker 1: you know, refresh some things, but it's actually such a
Speaker 1: positive thing. And I think we are definitely creatures of comfort.
Speaker 2: I know I am.
Speaker 1: But if we can kind of, yeah, create this new habit,
Speaker 1: create this kind of positive thing, and continue to change
Speaker 1: and evolve, that's amazing. And I think also realizing that
Speaker 1: your previous self and how you used to do things,
Speaker 1: it probably served you, like at a certain time. And
Speaker 1: so if you're kind of like looking at your life
Speaker 1: and you're like, holy crap, I'm doing things that just
Speaker 1: don't really serve me. I'm so out of alignment. Don't
Speaker 1: don't get down on yourself because I guarantee you you
Speaker 1: did that for a certain time, for a certain reason,
Speaker 1: and that's okay. If you are feeling overwhelmed, please don't.
Speaker 1: It's like start small, Like I said, if you're really
Speaker 1: resonating with this, a great start would be downloading the ebook.
Speaker 1: Because I've put a whole bunch of journal prompts. I
Speaker 1: did want to include more in the episode, but as
Speaker 1: you can tell, this is a long episode anyway, So
Speaker 1: I thought I'll just tell you about my resets and
Speaker 1: when I kind of realized I needed to shake things
Speaker 1: up in my life. And then I thought I'd give
Speaker 1: you a free little mini ebook so you can go
Speaker 1: and journal and find your spark again. And guys, just remember,
Speaker 1: as long as you're listening to your intuition and your
Speaker 1: heart desires, you cannot get it wrong. Okay, guys, so
Speaker 1: we're back. The episode is back, So chaos is back.
Speaker 1: Chaos is back. A Tia is jumping on the mic.
Speaker 1: She like helps me with the episode. So she has
Speaker 1: just listened to me recording this episode and she's got
Speaker 1: a couple of questions that she think will be helpful
Speaker 1: to you.
Speaker 2: Guys. My first question is you spoke about your reset
Speaker 2: with Ivy and how you had to reshuffle certain things
Speaker 2: like meditating in the car. How do you know when
Speaker 2: you're chasing your tail and trying to fit things in
Speaker 2: that shouldn't be in your schedule anymore, versus actually doing
Speaker 2: a proper reshuffle and knowing that you still need to
Speaker 2: meditate but finding a different time slot for it. And
Speaker 2: how do you manage that feeling of like sort of
Speaker 2: running around in circles when you're reshuffling.
Speaker 1: So I this is a great question. So a big
Speaker 1: thing with this is obviously knowing what's important to your habits.
Speaker 1: So I actually stopped meditating for a couple of months
Speaker 1: after Ivy was born, and I think without meditating, I
Speaker 1: realized how much I needed to put it back into
Speaker 1: my routine. So I was like, I need to, even
Speaker 1: if it's not how I used to meditate. So I
Speaker 1: used to meditate like sitting still, you know, in the
Speaker 1: house sort of thing. And now I literally meditate as
Speaker 1: I'm driving, so I'm not closing my eyes, but I'm
Speaker 1: just like, you know, trying to not put thoughts in
Speaker 1: my head. I have I do a mantra meditation so
Speaker 1: I say word anyway. So I think I stopped doing it.
Speaker 1: I honestly stopped doing all my habits, and I just
Speaker 1: realized which ones were really important and that I had
Speaker 1: to fit in. And even though it's not ideal how
Speaker 1: I do it, it's better than nothing.
Speaker 2: Did you feel like you were chasing your tail when
Speaker 2: you first started? Yes?
Speaker 1: Have you figured that out yet? Still going through it? Yeah?
Speaker 1: So I kind of wighed up, and I'm like, is
Speaker 1: this actually going to give back to me today or
Speaker 1: am I trying to tick something off a box? And
Speaker 1: you've got to ask yourself out because honestly, sometimes it's like,
Speaker 1: if I try and put this practice in just to
Speaker 1: tick it off a box, I don't think it's actually
Speaker 1: going to give back to me, like if that makes sense.
Speaker 1: So there are times where I'm just like, I just
Speaker 1: can't even deal with this right now, and it's probably
Speaker 1: the times I need to meditate the most. But you know,
Speaker 1: if for me, it's got to feel right, if that
Speaker 1: makes sense.
Speaker 2: Cool. And when you spoke about leaving your law job
Speaker 2: and that whole refresh and that it took you two
Speaker 2: years to build up the courage to do it, was
Speaker 2: the feeling that strung the whole time? Or did it
Speaker 2: get stronger over time and you were pulled more and more?
Speaker 2: But how did that work if you were resisting it?
Speaker 1: Yeah, so the feeling built up. So I remember kind
Speaker 1: of thinking, oh my god, I don't want to do law,
Speaker 1: but then going, oh, but Georgia. You know, like this
Speaker 1: would be a conversation in my head. It would be like,
Speaker 1: oh but Georgia, You've just done six yearslf study, Like
Speaker 1: just try it. See how you go. Maybe what you're
Speaker 1: doing now is a law grad, maybe as an at
Speaker 1: like an actual layer, maybe it will be better and
Speaker 1: you won't know what too you try. So I'd have
Speaker 1: like this conversation back and forth, so I always had
Speaker 1: the feeling, but then I would then have a conversation
Speaker 1: with myself and push it down. And then also the
Speaker 1: pinnacle point of when I quit was when I had
Speaker 1: finished my peer So I kind of gave myself the
Speaker 1: ultimatum of, all right, you can quit, but you've got
Speaker 1: to finish your pot so if the next thing doesn't
Speaker 1: work out, you can come back and at least go
Speaker 1: straight into being a lawyer, not you know, come back
Speaker 1: as a law grad or what not. But yeah, it
Speaker 1: built up over the time, and I remember towards the end,
Speaker 1: I just was like I had completely checked out. And
Speaker 1: then honestly probably wasn't good because I probably wasn't the
Speaker 1: best employee, to be honest, but I had completely checked
Speaker 1: out and I knew, yeah, I knew long before amazing,
Speaker 1: and I had just kind of given myself a timeline
Speaker 1: of I know, but I'm going to work until this
Speaker 1: day sort of thing.
Speaker 2: And do you regret that?
Speaker 1: No, I don't regret anything a tea. Actually, there's probably
Speaker 1: a couple of things, no, because like I think I
Speaker 1: also just at that point of my life, like I
Speaker 1: just needed to have that time. And I'm a big believer. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like I just don't believe in regret because I think
Speaker 1: that needed to happen in that way.
Speaker 2: Last question, you spoke a little bit about balance and
Speaker 2: how you can't always have balance, Like when you start
Speaker 2: a business, your balance is going to be out of whack. Yes, seasons, Yeah,
Speaker 2: how do you get to the point where you know, Okay,
Speaker 2: this season is now up and it is time for
Speaker 2: me to re evaluate what I'm doing and where I'm
Speaker 2: putting my energy into. And maybe someone's trying to juggle
Speaker 2: a few too many things because they think that that's
Speaker 2: what they need to do at that time. How do
Speaker 2: you know when that season is at an end? Now?
Speaker 1: Oh, I love this question. So when that season is
Speaker 1: no longer serving you? So I feel like, especially I
Speaker 1: can really see the point in Naked Harvest where you know,
Speaker 1: the extra hours I'm working and the grinding I'm doing
Speaker 1: is no longer really pushing the needle for that much.
Speaker 1: And it's kind of like I don't actually have to
Speaker 1: work this hard. I'm just not that don't have to
Speaker 1: work this hard, but it's like it's not necessary anymore.
Speaker 1: And you know, I was sacrificing things like my relationship,
Speaker 1: my health, and it just got to the point where
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, I need to switch things up
Speaker 1: because it's no longer serving me as a whole self.
Speaker 1: Maybe serving naked harvest, but it's not longer yeah, serving
Speaker 1: me as a whole self because I'm having to sacrifice
Speaker 1: you know, time with tim, my health, you know, late nights,
Speaker 1: that sort of thing. So ask yourself, is this still
Speaker 1: serving me? Because also a big thing with seasons is
Speaker 1: it might just be going into a season of all right,
Speaker 1: I've got to focus on some other things. Then going
Speaker 1: back to that season, you just got to give yourself
Speaker 1: some time before you burn out, before it just gets
Speaker 1: to a point where you don't want to do that
Speaker 1: thing anymore. That question is thinking, guys, a tear might
Speaker 1: pop into the episodes moving forward. I hope that cleared
Speaker 1: up any questions. Guys. Okay, guys, thank you so much
Speaker 1: for listening to my first official episode back. I'm going
Speaker 1: to love and leave you. Oh wait, before I go
Speaker 1: one final announcement, so the project will be coming back.
Speaker 1: This is my Rise and Conquer project. It is my
Speaker 1: seven week self development and manifesting course. So this is
Speaker 1: a course where I teach you my formula that I
Speaker 1: use anytime I want to attract something new in my life.
Speaker 1: It's how I've manifested everything I have and the reason
Speaker 1: I've been able to kind of like quantum leap through
Speaker 1: life and you know, achieve certain things over the years.
Speaker 1: Like I say, I'm just an ordinary gal and I'm
Speaker 1: obsessed with self development and basically I've been perfecting this
Speaker 1: formula for a very long time. So I give it
Speaker 1: to you guys in a course. It's a seven week cause.
Speaker 1: The testimonies and what people have done after completing this
Speaker 1: cause is in stain, and we've had thousands of people
Speaker 1: completely change their life after they have done it. We
Speaker 1: haven't had a live round in twelve months. Were coming
Speaker 1: on twelve months because obviously pregnant, had my baby girl,
Speaker 1: and I did promise I would bring it back. I
Speaker 1: did look at my calendar and this year is just
Speaker 1: like hectic with Naked Harvest and some you know, other
Speaker 1: personal brand stuff that I've got going on. But I
Speaker 1: just I did tell you guys, I was going to
Speaker 1: bring it back after twelve months. So we are going
Speaker 1: to do one live round this year. That is it.
Speaker 1: It's all I've got time for. But I just, oh
Speaker 1: my god, it's my favorite thing to do, so I'm
Speaker 1: going to make sure I can fit it in, so
Speaker 1: we will be bringing it back. I don't have specific dates. Yeah, please,
Speaker 1: just you know, listen. I'm sure you'll hear about it.
Speaker 1: But I just wanted to give you that because I've
Speaker 1: had so many dms asking when the next live round
Speaker 1: will be so very bloody exciting. All right, guys, I'll
