Hello and welcome back 0:00:34.080 --> 0:00:37.240 to the Rise and Conquer Podcasts. This is the podcast 0:00:37.280 --> 0:00:51.000 for ordinary people who want to do extraordinary things. Hello 0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:54.760 and welcome back to the Rise and Conquer Podcast. It 0:00:54.920 --> 0:01:01.520 is your host, Georgie Stephenson, lawyer turned entrepreneur, business owner, 0:01:01.880 --> 0:01:05.720 all the things. Guys. I am so bloody excited to 0:01:05.800 --> 0:01:08.000 be back in your ears. I know we had some 0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:11.760 bonus apps and I did a couple of mom episodes, 0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:16.040 but we are back to normal scheduling. You probably would 0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:18.640 have noticed this, but the potty also got a bit 0:01:18.640 --> 0:01:22.360 of a facelift, a new vibe. We haven't had a 0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:26.400 proper episode guide for six months, so we thought we're 0:01:26.440 --> 0:01:30.240 bringing back the podcast. There's going to be new branding, 0:01:30.440 --> 0:01:32.959 a bit of a new vibe, and a new schedule. 0:01:33.600 --> 0:01:36.680 Before I tell you about that, let's do a bit 0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:40.440 of a life update. So you could probably tell from 0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:43.760 the intro, but I'm a new mum and I've just 0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:49.120 come back from maternity leave. So I had Ivy in November, 0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:53.680 our gorgeous Ivy Sunday, and yeah, I've just been looking 0:01:53.720 --> 0:01:58.880 after her, easing back into work. And to be completely honest, 0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:01.320 I had to make a bit of a decision with 0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:05.720 the podcast because last year, I'm not gonna lie, I 0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:09.720 didn't give the podcasts like a lot of my time. 0:02:09.800 --> 0:02:14.320 If we're talking work capacity, it probably got ten percent 0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:17.960 of my time. And as much as like I love 0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:21.560 the podcast, I love my girl gang on here, it 0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:25.120 was just not in my parity basket. But I loved 0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:28.240 doing it, so you know, I kept it going and 0:02:28.520 --> 0:02:31.400 me and Jamie were working hard to still keep it there, 0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:34.720 but like, I wasn't giving it the most love and attention. 0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:37.880 And then I had Ivy Girl, and I had a 0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:40.919 bit of like an epiphany epiphany. Oh my god, is 0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:44.200 that the word a tear? Epif a knee? Also, guys, 0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:46.760 a tier is across for me. She is the new 0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:52.120 potty marketing manager and you might hear her sometimes because 0:02:52.160 --> 0:02:55.640 I'll ask her how to pronounce things. Oh my god, guys, 0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:57.520 I get so many reviews saying I don't know how 0:02:57.560 --> 0:03:04.400 to pronouncing, So this is great. So the epiphanmy, I 0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:07.880 was like, I need to decide if I'm going to 0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:10.600 continue the potty, because if I'm going to do it, 0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:13.480 I'm not putting ten percent into it, Like I've either 0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:16.840 got to go hard or we have to retire the potty. 0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:21.480 And so I sat with this for weeks and clearly 0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:25.320 we know what I've decided. I just decided. I was like, 0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:28.679 it is like my ultimate passion project. You guys know, 0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:32.200 I think the biggest thing that I feel called for, 0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:34.480 you know, if we want to get deep straight away, 0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:39.040 what I feel like my life purpose is is empowering 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:43.960 other people, specifically other women, to know their worth, to 0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:47.680 go after what they want, and to feel to live 0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:51.480 a life sorry that truly feels aligned and that lights 0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:54.520 them up. And I was like, I can't quit the potty. 0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:58.360 I love the potty, So the potty is back. I'd 0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:01.000 had to really justc that. I was like, I need 0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:03.720 to put in more effort and love and we need 0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:06.920 to take this seriously. Guys, We're back. We're better than ever. 0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:11.240 You may have noticed that we have a new kind 0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:14.400 of scheduling, and so basically what it is we have 0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:18.120 two episodes going live. So we've got a Tuesday episode, 0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:21.680 which is what you're currently listening to. We are calling 0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:27.640 these episodes Knowledge is Power kIPS if you must, kind 0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:32.400 of reminds me of KPIs. Oh my god, I'm getting 0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:41.360 like PSTD from my law job with KPIs PSDD. Thank 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:51.240 god you're here it dear, So knowledge is I got so. 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:56.840 So Tuesday's are Knowledge is Power episodes. Basically, we're gonna 0:04:56.880 --> 0:05:00.160 pick a topic and we're gonna get super juicy, you know, 0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:04.799 think like self development, relationships, building your dream life, basically 0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:08.000 like my solo episodes. And then we are also going 0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:10.720 to release a potty on Friday, and this is going 0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:13.640 to be a fun new segment called Georgie's Hotline. So 0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:15.159 it's going to be a bit of more laid back, 0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:20.440 a bit chilled where I'm going to give my unqualified 0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:25.400 but very enthusiastic advice. So keep it fun, keep it light, heighted, 0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:29.440 keep it entertaining. If you've got a life question, if 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:32.920 you're at a crossroads, if you need advice from a girlfriend, 0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:36.559 jump into the rise and conquer DMS, not mine, because 0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:40.560 mine our shit show Rise and conquer DMS. Put your 0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:43.440 question and yeah, you could be on the hotline. It's 0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:46.600 all anonymous, so do not stress. Juicy are the better. 0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:50.920 So that is our new scheduling. And then also before 0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:53.600 we actually get into the episode, I do want to 0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:57.200 just hype the potty up because we crossed a very 0:05:57.240 --> 0:06:03.120 special milestone. We have now each six million downloads. Guys. 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:06.720 That is it's huge, and I'm just so honored that 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:14.520 you guys continue to listen with all my mispronunciations and laughing. 0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:18.120 You know in my episodes you've stuck here and you 0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:21.080 clearly share it with your friends and family. I'm just 0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:24.400 so appreciative of you, guys, and I cannot wait to 0:06:24.440 --> 0:06:27.960 bring you some more or some content this year. Also, 0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:32.160 one last thing before we get into the episode, I 0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:35.400 promise you we are there soon. You may have noticed 0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:38.520 we have a new tagline. I did say in our 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:43.719 intro this podcast is for ordinary people doing extraordinary things. 0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:46.520 So for the past few years, you guys know, I 0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:51.760 have been really aligned with the affirmation no one is 0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:54.640 you and that is your power. Still love it, still 0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:58.920 my favorite saying ever. But you know with a potty facelift. 0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:01.720 We've also gone bit of a new quote. So the 0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:04.880 reason why we picked this is because I'm just your 0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:09.160 everyday gal and I've done some pretty awesome stuff pat 0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:13.520 self and shoulder like flex and I just want you 0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:18.440 guys to know through this podcast, through the people we interview, 0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:22.200 we're gonna have some really inspiring guests. Is it is 0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:26.760 possible for you too? And never put anyone onto a 0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:30.200 pedestal because if they can do it, you can do 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:32.320 it too. So I thought it was just a really 0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:36.120 really unique, fun little tagline that we're going to add 0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:38.600 to the potty because that's something I really want you 0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:42.679 guys to you know, feel into and to believe. All right, guys, 0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:46.320 we're bad to get into the episode. Honestly, it's the 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:49.160 worst when your team grows because it's like two against 0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:52.480 one now in the office and a tear and Jamie 0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:55.160 are making me do the Spye challenge. I don't know 0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:57.080 if you guys have seen this, It's probably not the 0:07:57.120 --> 0:08:00.920 best challenge to do on a podcast because you're literally 0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:04.000 like just gonna hear disgusting burps. Basically, the point of 0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:07.239 the challenge is for me to drink a whole sprite 0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:11.600 bottle without burping, and don't worry. We're filming this so 0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:15.440 you guys get to see it. We're trying to make 0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:18.960 the body a bit, you know, fun and entertaining. So 0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:21.280 I don't actually know if this is gonna be fun 0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:24.800 and entertaining or just gross. But let's see how it goes. 0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:30.680 All right, guys, are you ready? It's like a tear 0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:34.600 is like shaking it up. I'm actually not the biggest 0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:38.960 fan of sprites. It's kind of just tasteless. So aim 0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:45.240 of the game. Drink as much sprite as possible without burping. Easy. 0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:48.520 I'm also just not really good at like drinking things fast. 0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:56.120 Could never be that person whose goales things. No, I 0:08:56.200 --> 0:09:01.079 can feel bubbles like building up. But fine, you watch 0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:04.199 I won't burn now and then the whole episode I'm 0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:07.560 gonna burt. I also just say, it's so much sushi, 0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:11.400 so this is just not a good combo. I literally 0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:12.839 don't feel like I need a burb at all. I 0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:23.120 feel so sick. What finish? Finish it? Alright? A dear? Okay, 0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:26.400 Oh no, it's coming, it's coming. 0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:29.040 You're not gonna work? 0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:37.920 Oh no, I feel so sick. I'm gonna record a 0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:41.120 whole episode now, I know, but I'm just trying not 0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:45.599 to burb. I just need to like relax. Do I 0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:47.640 actually have to finish the bottle? Oh? No? 0:09:48.440 --> 0:09:48.640 Oh? 0:09:53.240 --> 0:09:57.559 Like I vomited? What is happening? What is it? 0:09:58.840 --> 0:09:59.080 Guys? 0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:09.240 I reckon, I got like halfway. I'm like, the second 0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:13.640 life smell is like bride and sushi. That is disgusting. 0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:20.760 Idea the ship you guys, maybe I'm like so hot now, 0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:27.200 Oh my god, if my mom listens to this episode, 0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:32.160 she's gonna be like disgraced.

When I 0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:26.280 think back to the first time I really had well, 0:12:26.400 --> 0:12:29.880 I really needed a big life reset was back in 0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:33.320 twenty eighteen. So to set this scene, this is when 0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:36.719 I had quit my law job. So I had come 0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:40.439 to a crossroads where I knew, well, I kind of 0:12:40.559 --> 0:12:44.840 knew that even after doing six years of study, four 0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:48.439 years of work in the field of family law, it 0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:52.120 just wasn't what I was meant to be doing at 0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:55.679 that moment, and it just wasn't fulfilling me. And I 0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:58.920 just had this like burning desire that I was meant 0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:02.080 to do something different, and it was like over there, 0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:04.679 and I had come kind of come to this crossroads 0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:07.120 where I was like, if I don't go and figure 0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:10.120 this thing out, I just I know I'm going to 0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:13.800 regret it. And at this point, I had my Instagram, 0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:17.840 I had a small community. I loved creating content, but honestly, 0:13:18.000 --> 0:13:20.280 there was not too much more than that. It's not 0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:24.520 like I had Naked Harvest or my ebooks or any 0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:29.920 other source of income except paid partnerships with brands, which 0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:34.600 is not necessarily something that is a long term option. 0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:37.880 But at that point, I just knew this was the 0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:40.480 right thing to do, and I just it was a 0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:42.959 heart desire. You guys know, I chat about heart desires, 0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:47.480 and it honestly wouldn't have made sense to anyone else. Like, 0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:50.040 imagine telling your parents after six years of study that 0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:52.880 you're like quitting law and gone off and doing social 0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:55.720 media and you had, like, you know, land in an 0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:59.960 amazing job. I had a grad position. Imagine telling Mama 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:03.000 did that bit? I knew I had to follow my heart, 0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:06.640 so I did it, and it paved the way for 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:09.079 everything I have in my life now. Obviously it was 0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:13.079 so scary at the time, but that was not actually 0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:17.200 the step that caused a reset. It's really funny because 0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:22.200 that decision that like following my heart then really opened 0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:25.280 the floodgate for what would be resetting my whole life. 0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:28.880 So yes, quitting a safe corporate job was a reset, 0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:33.200 but it's what happened after that was most interesting. You See, 0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:37.280 previously quitting I would sometimes listen to my intuition. But 0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:41.680 this is before my like I really got into my spirituality. 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:44.720 We could say before my spiritual awakening, but that's a 0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:47.520 whole other episode in itself. And it was like, really 0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:50.720 before I started believing in a lot of the core 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:53.320 topics that we chat about in this podcast, I kind 0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:56.360 of knew what intuition was. I was kind of following it, 0:14:56.520 --> 0:14:59.440 but there was just a lot of noise. So I 0:14:59.480 --> 0:15:01.960 think we all know, like when we're in our twenties, 0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:05.320 especially at the start, like I was partying with my 0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:09.520 friends a lot, doing a job because you know, getting 0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:12.920 the approval of my parents, like just trying to pay bills, 0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:17.280 like not necessarily like listening to my intuition and really 0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:20.960 like listening to my heart desires. This huge decision of 0:15:21.080 --> 0:15:25.480 finally listening to my intuition really sent a signed to 0:15:25.520 --> 0:15:29.000 the universe that I was ready for more. I was 0:15:29.120 --> 0:15:32.160 ready to live in alignment. And also, guys, just like 0:15:32.200 --> 0:15:34.440 a quick side note, so when I'm talking about alignment 0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:37.760 and heart desires and purpose and intuition, if you're a 0:15:37.880 --> 0:15:40.360 long time listener of the pody, you would know these terms. 0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:43.200 But if you don't, if you're new here, hi, hello, 0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:45.880 welcome to the show. So all this stuff that I 0:15:45.960 --> 0:15:48.400 talk about, so even when I talk about your desires, 0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:52.440 everything that you desire is important and warranted, and that 0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:56.160 is going to look so different to you and to 0:15:56.320 --> 0:15:58.320 me and to anyone else, so it could be on 0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:02.720 a completely different level or scale. When I talk about intuition, 0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:06.960 this is something we all have, whether you listen to 0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:10.120 your intuition or you've shut it off. It's something we 0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:13.280 all have. And when I talk about purpose, this doesn't 0:16:13.320 --> 0:16:16.680 have to be like an almighty purpose. I truly believe 0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:21.920 like my purpose is empowering people, mostly women, to realize 0:16:22.000 --> 0:16:24.920 their full potential and go after what they want. Your 0:16:25.040 --> 0:16:27.120 purpose could be so many things. It could be being 0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:30.320 a great mother. It you know, you could be the 0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:33.080 mother who raises the next prime minister sort of thing. 0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:37.080 It could be you know, purpose of sustainability, or literally 0:16:37.160 --> 0:16:40.800 anything big or small. I'm not talking about you know, 0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:43.080 when I talk about my heart desires, it's not like 0:16:43.200 --> 0:16:47.040 this huge thing. It's honestly the little things. Sorry, back 0:16:47.040 --> 0:16:49.960 to the story. So I had made this huge decision 0:16:50.280 --> 0:16:53.680 which was very intuitive me and it was a shift 0:16:53.800 --> 0:16:57.760 into alignment and it was honestly then the catalysts. So 0:16:57.880 --> 0:17:01.160 I remember quitting my law job, being at home creating content, 0:17:01.400 --> 0:17:05.000 but something just didn't feel right, like something was missing. 0:17:05.480 --> 0:17:08.080 And this is when I started journaling. And I also 0:17:08.240 --> 0:17:12.119 started going on one big walk every day. So I 0:17:12.240 --> 0:17:14.600 was working from home and most days I wouldn't leave 0:17:14.600 --> 0:17:17.800 the house. So this walk with my puppies was like 0:17:18.240 --> 0:17:20.320 getting out of the house and on the walk I 0:17:20.480 --> 0:17:23.760 would meditate. My meditating at that time was literally just 0:17:23.840 --> 0:17:28.120 putting on meditating calming music, and walking. I'd often put 0:17:28.160 --> 0:17:30.920 on ocean noises because I actually used to do that 0:17:31.119 --> 0:17:33.840 at work to try and drown out the office noise 0:17:33.920 --> 0:17:36.159 and get work done. And I found that noise to 0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:38.920 just be super comforting. So I'd put on ocean noises 0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:41.280 and I would just continue to write in my journal 0:17:41.359 --> 0:17:45.760 stuff like something just feels missing, something feels off. I'm 0:17:45.800 --> 0:17:48.159 happy with my decision, but like I need to know 0:17:48.320 --> 0:17:51.160 what's next sort of thing. And I know I knew 0:17:51.240 --> 0:17:54.080 something good was coming. I just I had no idea. 0:17:54.160 --> 0:17:58.080 It just felt super super foggy. And I kept working, 0:17:58.200 --> 0:18:00.920 I kept journaling, kept like, you know, just doing life. 0:18:00.960 --> 0:18:04.160 And it wasn't until one day I journaled this entry 0:18:04.280 --> 0:18:07.960 and I remember this so specifically, and this was like 0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:11.159 the journal entry would have gone something like this. I 0:18:11.440 --> 0:18:14.920 thought I loved the city. I often told people my 0:18:15.119 --> 0:18:18.600 dream would be to live in an apartment overlooking the 0:18:18.640 --> 0:18:22.200 botanical gardens walking to work, which would have been like, 0:18:22.320 --> 0:18:27.280 you know, my corporate office job, wearing cute Q corporate outfits, 0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:31.359 if you know, you know, Friday drinks on Brisbane City River. 0:18:32.000 --> 0:18:34.800 You know, even though I had quit my job, I 0:18:35.280 --> 0:18:39.600 realized that I still really identified with that person, and 0:18:40.720 --> 0:18:44.160 I only believed that that was the person I am 0:18:44.400 --> 0:18:47.920 because I had created that person through like a projection 0:18:48.600 --> 0:18:50.879 of what I thought I wanted. And so if we 0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:53.240 really get to the crux of it, you know, I 0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:56.040 did law because I wanted to impress people, because I 0:18:56.080 --> 0:18:59.280 wanted to make my parents happy. I did enjoy the 0:18:59.359 --> 0:19:02.639 actual sub but it's not like that felt like my calling. 0:19:03.119 --> 0:19:07.280 And then I created this whole person around my law degree. 0:19:07.760 --> 0:19:11.160 So I'm a city girl. I love wearing Q corporate outfits. 0:19:11.280 --> 0:19:15.760 I love you know, Friday afternoon drinks, et cetera. And 0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:19.120 for the first time journaling that I had like realized 0:19:19.160 --> 0:19:22.000 that I had created this whole projection of what I 0:19:22.040 --> 0:19:24.680 thought my life had to be going off you know, 0:19:24.880 --> 0:19:28.000 other people's belief and basically trying to please other people. 0:19:28.119 --> 0:19:30.560 So then for so long after that, I was just 0:19:30.680 --> 0:19:34.840 journaling the most simple things like what actually brings me joy, 0:19:35.320 --> 0:19:37.760 what do I enjoy doing? And you know, where do 0:19:37.800 --> 0:19:40.679 I see myself in five years if I like strip 0:19:41.040 --> 0:19:44.560 everything back and I just do things for me, like 0:19:44.640 --> 0:19:47.680 where do I see myself in five years? What do 0:19:47.720 --> 0:19:53.480 I enjoy doing? And this kind of brought up the answers. Actually, no, 0:19:53.600 --> 0:19:57.359 I remember. It was this journal entry where I was like, 0:19:58.720 --> 0:20:01.600 when was the time that I is felt pure joy? 0:20:01.800 --> 0:20:04.280 And it was like just for no one but me, 0:20:05.000 --> 0:20:08.600 and I honestly could not think of a time going 0:20:08.800 --> 0:20:11.480 back until I was a child, Like I couldn't think 0:20:11.480 --> 0:20:13.440 of a more recent time than when I was a child, 0:20:14.160 --> 0:20:16.320 and it was when I was at the beach for 0:20:16.400 --> 0:20:20.080 my family, because we would go on holidays every school 0:20:20.119 --> 0:20:22.920 holidays to the beach. My family was a beach fan, 0:20:24.320 --> 0:20:28.040 and I just remember those are probably just my best memories, 0:20:28.160 --> 0:20:30.360 just playing at the beach with my brothers. And also 0:20:30.400 --> 0:20:32.800 at that point, my brother had just moved to the 0:20:32.880 --> 0:20:35.280 beach and I just had this like light bulb moment 0:20:35.280 --> 0:20:37.240 where I was like, I can't move to the beach 0:20:37.359 --> 0:20:39.360 because you know, that's what you just do on holidays, 0:20:39.400 --> 0:20:42.800 Like you can't enjoy yourself every single day. And basically 0:20:43.000 --> 0:20:46.200 I just had this light bulb moment of oh my God, 0:20:46.359 --> 0:20:48.399 like I have this thing in my head that I 0:20:48.520 --> 0:20:51.399 can't be, you know, the person who moves to the 0:20:51.480 --> 0:20:54.800 beach because I can't enjoy myself every single day, even 0:20:54.880 --> 0:20:58.400 though I knew, you know, a daily beach walk would 0:20:58.480 --> 0:21:04.480 be my source of long story short, really going off 0:21:04.600 --> 0:21:08.040 on a rent. Yeah, but basically that's when I realized 0:21:08.160 --> 0:21:11.720 that I could move to the beach. I could actually 0:21:12.000 --> 0:21:14.560 have that beach walk and find that bit of joy 0:21:15.040 --> 0:21:18.240 that you know each day and you guys currently know 0:21:18.560 --> 0:21:20.840 I live at the beach. I go for a beach 0:21:20.920 --> 0:21:24.280 walk every single day. And that's like just such a 0:21:24.800 --> 0:21:29.960 strong example of Yes, obviously, quitting my corporate job is 0:21:30.200 --> 0:21:34.240 just such a huge life reset, but it then really 0:21:34.440 --> 0:21:37.920 was the catalyst to the next life reset, which was 0:21:38.560 --> 0:21:42.320 moving to a different city and really slowing down. I 0:21:42.480 --> 0:21:44.639 used to be such like a even though I'm a 0:21:44.800 --> 0:21:47.479 very busy person, I used to be like so fast paced, 0:21:48.359 --> 0:21:50.760 you know, a city life, and now I live at 0:21:50.800 --> 0:21:53.479 the beach with my family and things are so different. 0:21:53.880 --> 0:21:56.320 So I know that was like a very extreme example, 0:21:56.440 --> 0:21:58.440 but you can see that when I was in Brisbane 0:21:58.680 --> 0:22:01.080 and I was living my life life on the terms 0:22:01.280 --> 0:22:03.920 of the goal of being you know, a successful family lawyer, 0:22:04.520 --> 0:22:07.680 city life, even when I had quit that job, I 0:22:07.840 --> 0:22:11.360 was still stuck in that identity and I think it's 0:22:11.520 --> 0:22:16.720 really important for us to like ask what current identity 0:22:16.840 --> 0:22:20.000 are we stuck in that is not really ours? Like 0:22:20.080 --> 0:22:23.640 are you currently doing things a certain way? Maybe it's 0:22:23.680 --> 0:22:26.720 a routine, maybe it's the way you dress, where you live, 0:22:27.480 --> 0:22:29.560 but you've just done it for so long, or maybe 0:22:30.600 --> 0:22:34.639 it made sense previously because you had, you know, picked 0:22:34.640 --> 0:22:37.560 a certain goal, you had projected that you were supposed 0:22:37.600 --> 0:22:40.159 to be this sort of person, and maybe that just 0:22:40.320 --> 0:22:44.160 doesn't align to you anymore. And so it's like about 0:22:44.240 --> 0:22:48.399 asking yourself, do I actually identify with my current life 0:22:48.720 --> 0:22:51.840 or is it something that I had picked and really 0:22:51.960 --> 0:22:56.280 paved for a previous self. I know, that's a huge question. Wow, 0:22:58.480 --> 0:23:01.360 there's also some smaller question in the ebook to really 0:23:01.440 --> 0:23:03.399 kind of get you to that point. And like my 0:23:03.480 --> 0:23:09.159 biggest advice, even if it is the tiniest like niggling feeling, 0:23:09.359 --> 0:23:12.879 and if it's not clear but it's intuitive feeling, don't 0:23:12.960 --> 0:23:15.480 push it down. I pushed it down for so long. 0:23:16.080 --> 0:23:18.960 I knew, probably two years ago before I actually cut 0:23:19.040 --> 0:23:21.160 my corporate job, that that was like the right thing 0:23:21.240 --> 0:23:24.000 to do, but I just like I could not get 0:23:24.000 --> 0:23:27.000 to that point. And it's fine because I truly believe that, 0:23:27.200 --> 0:23:29.200 like you know, everything happens for a reason, and I 0:23:29.520 --> 0:23:32.640 that wasn't my time. But I think it's really really 0:23:32.680 --> 0:23:36.600 important to be listening to those little feelings because they 0:23:36.640 --> 0:23:39.840 are often the you know, the things that are bringing 0:23:39.920 --> 0:23:42.520 you to the big, big parts of your life. And 0:23:42.640 --> 0:23:44.879 my biggest takeaway from that part of my life is 0:23:45.119 --> 0:23:48.240 just really following the joy can like will just never 0:23:48.359 --> 0:23:51.520 be wrong. For me, it was following following a memory 0:23:51.600 --> 0:23:53.920 of joy that I had as a child which led 0:23:54.000 --> 0:23:56.600 me to where I am now, and also just knowing 0:23:56.760 --> 0:23:59.840 like that the simple joy of being able to go 0:24:00.080 --> 0:24:03.520 the beach walk every day, like that's what changed my life. Really. 0:24:03.920 --> 0:24:07.520 So another big life reset I had my life was 0:24:07.640 --> 0:24:11.840 actually when I was having health issues back in twenty twenty. 0:24:12.000 --> 0:24:14.400 So this is when me and Tim were trying to conceive. 0:24:15.400 --> 0:24:18.359 We weren't getting pregnant, and I started to look into 0:24:20.080 --> 0:24:23.080 my health and basically I found out I was very unwell, 0:24:23.280 --> 0:24:28.639 which didn't make sense, but it was just I think 0:24:28.680 --> 0:24:31.000 it was a long time coming because I had felt unwell, 0:24:31.119 --> 0:24:33.400 but I had just honestly ignored it, and I think 0:24:33.440 --> 0:24:36.200 I had felt that way for so long I just 0:24:36.280 --> 0:24:38.639 got used to it. So I went on this journey 0:24:38.720 --> 0:24:40.920
