Hello everyone and welcome back to the Peace of Mind podcast. Today's episode is an exciting one because I'm sitting down with none other than Georgie Stevenson. If you don't already know Georgie which I'm pretty sure you do, she is an absolute powerhouse. From leaving behind a career in law to follow her passion and create Naked Harvest, an incredible health and wellness brand, georgie has truly redefined what it means to live a life on your terms. She's also a content creator, a mom, a podcast host and a manifestation queen, all while showing up online with honesty and authenticity that resonates with so many people.
Speaker 1:In this episode, I get to talk to Georgie about what it was really like to decide to leave law behind and chase her dreams, including any fears or any doubts that she had to face along the way. We also dive into the challenges of navigating social media and running her dreams, including any fears or any doubts that she had to face along the way. We also dive into the challenges of navigating social media and running a business whilst being in the spotlight, but also what she loves most about sharing her life online. As a mom myself, I could not wait to ask Georgie how she balances the demands of running a wildly successful company like Naked Harvest with motherhood, and she really shared some amazing insights about redefining what it means to do it all including some insights into her relationship and how they make it work for them. Of course, we also talk about manifestation, something Georgie is really known for, and she gives us so many practical tips and advice on how it helped in her life and her business, as well as common mistakes people make when it comes to manifesting their own dreams. Georgie also reflects on things that she's been struggling with at the moment and then offers some insights into what you can do if you're struggling with the same thing. This is a conversation filled with inspiration, practical advice and so much heart.
Speaker 1:Whether you're chasing a big dream, balancing family and career, or you're just curious about the behind the scenes of a business like Naked Harvest, you are going to love this episode, so let's dive in. Welcome back to the Peace of Mind podcast. Today, guys, I have such an incredible guest joining us. This guest was actually on a list that I wrote for myself over a year and a half ago that I've been trying to manifest, and now she is here. She is joining us. I get to have a really cool chat with her, and I'm so excited for you guys to be able to listen in on this conversation. So welcome, georgie Stevenson. I'm so grateful that you are here. I feel like most people that are listening are going to be well-versed in who you are and what you do, but if there is the off chance that someone is listening and they have no idea who you are, can you give a little bit of an introduction?
Speaker 2:Of course, I'm so excited to be here, ash, and also let that just be your little bit of evidence that manifestation work, because here I am. So my name is Georgie Stevenson. I am a wife, a mom, a two times business owner. I have my own podcast, the Rise and Conquer podcast. My businesses are Rise and Conquer, a self-development brand, and naked harvest, which is a all natural supplement company. Um, and basically I have been on instagram for nearly 10 years now and I just love to share my life. I talk about a lot of things, whether it is you, you know, self-development, whether it's parenting, what's you know, trying to conceive, journey and my PCOS. I think I'm just a bit of an oversharer and therefore have attracted a community. And, yeah, I just kind of like share what's happening in my life, what I'm doing on my businesses, and I consider myself someone who's like, always learning, always growing. I like to say, if you kind of knew me a couple of years ago, you probably don't know me now. Um, yeah, that probably sums it up.
Speaker 1:I love that. This is probably why I have enjoyed following you for so long, because when you're like I'm an oversharer, I'm like same this morning on my stories to share that I was interviewing, I was like I'm interviewing someone, I'm an oversharer. I'm like same this morning on my stories to share that I was interviewing. I was like I'm interviewing someone I'm so excited about and I literally told my audience that I've done like three nervous poops and now I've told everyone on this podcast. So I'm like I feel you with the oversharing, I'm a massive oversharer, but I think it's good.
Speaker 1:I think it's great for people to have Obviously achieving so much in your life and you're doing really massive things in your life. It's nice to see the other sides of your life and the human side of who you actually are. My first thing that I'm just genuinely been so interested, always wanting to know myself about you, is I know you have made such a huge decision in your life to. You were pursuing law, you studied law, you became like in a career of law and then you ultimately made the big decision to leave all that behind to pursue your career, pursue your business, pursue your passion, and I really just want to know the process of that, like when you were making that decision. What was coming up for you, were there any fears, were there any doubts? And what ultimately led to you making that huge decision? What helped you with that?
Speaker 2:such a great question and it's funny because I didn't even include that in the bio when I said who I am, because it feels like you know, lifetimes ago. But that is such a huge part of my story and I guess for me, you know, the girl who wanted to be a lawyer was really 16 year old me, who wanted to prove to her parents that she was smart and, you know, wanted them to say you're a good girl and we're so proud of you. And it was really the girl who wanted to make something of herself but didn't know how. So was like all right, well, I can either be like a doctor, a lawyer um, you know or a psychologist, and so I watched Legally Blonde and was like I'm gonna be a lawyer oh my god, I'm dead.
Speaker 1:Why was I not expecting that answer? But it is the best answer ever. Legally Blonde helped you pick your career. That is freaking brilliant. I love that so much.
Speaker 2:I was obsessed with Legally Blonde and that's literally why I love that so much. I was obsessively blonde and that's literally why I chose to do law out of those other um, you know specialties. And it's really funny too, because I wasn't I wouldn't say, like book smart at that time, but obviously I knew I had to get a great op to become a lawyer. So I completely changed my identity in high school from this like girl who would go out partying, who would, you know, drink on the weekends. I started drinking when I was like 14, which is outrageous now that I think about it and when I was about 16, I was like, okay, well, I want to be a lawyer. So, like, that person goes to the library, she gets her you know essays checked three times by the teacher, she's studious, blah, blah, blah. And I literally stepped into that identity. And it's funny because now, with hindsight, I can really see one of my great skills is I am able to shapeshift and step into identities and I'm never, I guess, afraid to evolve and be someone new, um, which has, you know, given me a lot of skills in the evolution. And so basically I did law for all the wrong reasons and I finished my law degree. I probably knew a good couple of years before I finished that I didn't want to do law. But it was kind of like this thing where I was like I've got to finish it. I said I would um very masculine energy and so I decided I wasn't going to do law, because I really think in life, if you are gonna have regrets, that is for me personally. It's like that weighs more than like being comfortable, and I was.
Speaker 2:I think I was about 23 or 24 when I made that decision, which was a huge decision for that age, and I just remember thinking, if I don't figure out you know this other thing, because at that moment I had the side hustle of Instagram and YouTube and all those sorts of things and I was like, if I didn't kind of figure out this other thing, I feel like I'm going to get older and I'm going to regret it and I would rather try something else and fail and know and have to come back to law than being like, well, I'm just going to stay safe and even though at that time I did have a mortgage, but I was just like you know what, like let's see what happens and life is too short. I think I really got into. I was listening to so many podcasts and self-development books at that time. It really gave me the power. But I was like you have one life, georgia. You've literally proven to yourself you can do a law degree, you can go back to the law.
Speaker 2:But it's like if you don't figure out this other thing, um, I feel, I feel like you're really going to regret it. So I almost kind of not guilted myself into that decision. But, um, yeah, that was kind of just the process around it and I didn't have anything. You know, it's not like I had Naked Harvest or RNC set up, I really didn't have anything. But also, because I went straight from high school into my law degree, I was like I've never had a gap year, I've never had anything to figure myself out and I was like I just I need, I need some space. I need some um, yeah, I guess space, and I really recommend that to anyone making a big decision. It's like just giving yourself the space and the compassion to just figure it out. It's truly it's like if we don't take the risk, you're always going to be wondering and I just couldn't live with that.
Speaker 1:I think that is so impressive. Oh, my god, when you said when I was 16 and I started to ask myself, well, who would that person be? Who has that? To have that thought process at 16 is insane. Like that's something that I try to help people with now and help myself with. And you know, and I'm 31 or 32 and I feel like I've only just started to really think like that, like who do I need to be to achieve the future thing, to be able to have that at 16 and go from 14 drinking alcohol and all those different things, to make that switch at such a young age and then go and complete a whole ass law degree based on a movie that you saw, that you wanted. Like it's honestly so impressive. It's actually so impressive it's a bit wild.
Speaker 1:It's kind of what it is. Well, I wasn't expecting it to be like that story in that world, which is kind of funny and I love that I asked that question now. I also think it's really cool that you said you almost were like you know, I've spent all this time in the law degree and blah, blah, blah, and that's kind of that sunk cost fallacy where people think, well, if I've spent time doing something then I should keep committing to it or I've wasted those years. I've wasted the years in the degree and all those different things. So for you to be able to not stay stuck in that and then make that decision to, to follow what you wanted to do, I really want to know at that time when you were kind of making that decision was social media for you something that you did as a hobby? Were you more showing up, just sharing your life, or what was that kind of for you at that time?
Speaker 2:um, yeah, I, I remember like I did have some like sponsors so I was getting some sort of like. It was like a side hustle where I was getting some sort of like. It was like a side hustle where I was getting some sort of payments from social media and YouTube, but it was like nothing compared to you know what I grew my account to, or anything like that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and I think that's really cool for people to see as well.
Speaker 1:Like sometimes we can see people take a really big risk like you quitting law and I quit the police to pursue my online business and things like that and can be like well, of course you did that.
Speaker 1:Look what you have now and you're successful and it all worked out. But it's like you have to remember, at the time of the decision, you didn't have a successful business and you weren't. There was literally no one saying, yeah, this is going to work out like it's all going to be fine. You're going to have this big business and it's all going to be fine, and still being able to make that decision with the unknown present, I think is really important. Obviously, now who you are, now you've grown a really big social media following and you have so many eyes on you, so many people watching your life. For you, I would really love to hear your perspective on what you love about that, like your favorite things about sharing your life, because, as you said, you do share so much and it's really cool to see the behind the scenes of that. But for you, during this time of 10 years on social media, what you have actually found?
Speaker 2:quite challenging, yeah. So I think you know the biggest thing that is challenging is you have constant judgment, but in saying that, it has made me, shaped me so much as a person and really strengthened like there's not a lot of people, and really strengthened like there's not a lot of people. I guarantee you there's not a lot of people who like really don't give a fuck what anyone thinks, like you know they might have like family and friends. They're like I don't care what people think. There's like having like 400,000 people watch your every move and be like I don't get what I'm thinking, and I feel like for me that probably has been the biggest lesson lesson is, you know, being able to evolve and show up in different ways, because people really I do find you know I'll get comments like, oh, you're not relatable anymore, or you know I like your content better when you're a fitness creator or like stuff like that.
Speaker 2:And I think previously it used to really get to me because I'm like, oh, my god I'm, you know I'm doing something wrong. It's like that good girl, you know thing where you're trying to please people. But it really has helped me because I'm like, well, why do I need to fit into their box of what I should be. Why do I need to fit into their idea of me, like, why does that actually matter to me? And have to, do, you know, work through that? Um, and it's just funny because I literally had a comment the other day of someone being like you're just not relatable anymore and I thought what an odd thing to say, because it's like I'm not trying to do anything, like I'm not.
Speaker 2:Well, I get like, I guess, in my mind of like my goals and my reality, but it's like I'm not trying to be this person or that person or whatnot is. I'm simply always stepping into my most authentic self. I'm always moving in that direction. So whatever falls falls. And it's like, if you don't think I'm relatable, um, obviously we're so far apart and if you can't kind of hold space for me being a bit more far apart than you, then it's like maybe you just unfollow me, like it really seems simple to me. But yeah, it's really interesting. I think people's projections has just been the biggest thing to deal with. And then also it is interesting because I have so many eyes on me. It's kind of like whenever I'd make a big life decision, you know, you would think oh, what are my parents gonna think, what are my partner gonna think?
Speaker 1:I also think oh, my god, what, my false what are these like 400,000 people going to think it is interesting to have your life online and know that people will have an opinion of?
Speaker 1:you like people will think something about a decision that you've made and kind of have to be okay with people that once adored you or like we love this, we love this era, you're so inspiring, you're so amazing. Can be the same people that once adored you or are like we love this, we love this era, you're so inspiring, you're so amazing can be the same people that, like, four months later, are like oh my god, yuck, I don't like you anymore because you've said one wrong thing or you've grown in some type of way. That now makes me feel uncomfortable. And it is an interesting thing online and I don't know if you felt this like being online for 10 years, if you've noticed more recently now in the last few years, that people are more willing to say negative things to you or comment, or is that always kind of been a thing over the 10 years for you like?
Speaker 2:I've always said I am very lucky I don't get many negative comments or trolls, but I do. I do understand what you're saying. Like I feel like definitely in the last couple of years people think they're entitled to you know more, more opinions which you know. If people want to have an opinion, they can. But I was even I was thinking of this concept the other day, which forgive me if I'm going off on a tangent, but like I truly believe we only have so much capacity of you know energy that we give out and allow in, et cetera, and I just think it's so interesting of like this person that you don't actually know personally they're not your family or friends, it's someone you follow online to have such an like an opinionated belief and want to use energy to like tell that person.
Speaker 2:It's very interesting. I just think that person must be very disconnected from themselves, distracted, and probably not that they're not doing things in their life. But I kind of think, because of how busy I am, because of how much energy I give to my businesses and Ivy, like I wouldn't have the capacity to go comment on someone's you know thing or to even have this really strong opinion you know it or to even have this really strong opinion. You know it might be a fleeting comment with my friend where they're like you know, what do you think about Molly Mae and thing, or breaking up or whatever.
Speaker 1:I'd be like, oh yeah it's really sad, but it's like I'd never be, like. I'm going to go on, molly.
Speaker 2:Mae's TikTok and I'm going to, I'm going to tell her exactly how I feel. So I guess anyone who is in that position, I have a lot of compassion for them because I guarantee you like their life. There's stuff going on where they're not loving their life, because to be so disconnected and to think you can be so opinionated and be in so many other people's lives you don't actually know, yeah, I just I feel like there's stuff going on and that's. I guess we know that's what projections are. It's really nothing to do with us, it's everything going in in their lives and we've experienced that when we're going through stress or we're going through challenging times, we are more judgmental, we do have more opinions about things.
Speaker 2:So I guess I just always go back to like giving that person compassion and being like they're obviously in a hard spot and I've mirrored to something that is uncomfortable or they don't like in themselves and I'm happy to be that mirror. That's actually something especially stepping from like the fitness world to like the self-development. I had to be okay with like triggering people and being their mirror and like upsetting people and I had to really work with like triggering people and being their mirror and like upsetting people and I had to really work through like my good girl complex which I feel like I have. You know, it's always molding and shaping me but yeah, that's kind of the logic.
Speaker 1:I go to wow. That is like super insightful. Do you feel now do you still have to kind of work through that, like if you are still growing? So obviously when people look at you and they look at your life and you have like amazing house, car, family, everything looks beautiful. Your family looks amazing with your business and all the things, but you've worked so hard for that. But obviously for people who maybe don't have that and and kind of want that but deep down don't want to admit that, it's easy to project onto you because it's easier to make you wrong and and make all these things about you because it comforts them. Do you feel like, as you continue to grow and your businesses get bigger and you know all these different amazing things happen in your life? Do you feel like that's something that you have to still work through? Is, as you grow, there may be people that who once loved you are now projecting onto you because you're you're at a different level oh, absolutely.
Speaker 2:and that's the thing is, when I got that comment about the being relatable because I used to it's funny, whenever I used to, you know, think of myself on Instagram I used to think of like the girl next door. So I was like I'm your Instagram bestie, kind of vibes, and it was so then I was thinking about it and I was like, yeah, you know what? I'm probably not that relatable anymore.
Speaker 1:And then I I don't know many people that are like running two companies and like doing all the things, like I don't know many people doing that, so like I'm not, like yeah, that's so relatable, like I don't get running a huge company.
Speaker 2:I know. So I like thought about it. I was like, look, I'm probably not relatable and like that's okay, because you know younger Georgie. If I would have told her what she's accomplished and what she has, she would be like fuck off. Like really, yeah, do you mean? So I'm like maybe it's not the worst thing to be relatable, so like I will have to do.
Speaker 2:You know this process in my head and I also didn't, you know I came to the conclusion of like, okay, I might not be relatable and that might upset some people, but for a lot of people who have done the work, that's really inspiring to have someone who's like doing the thing maybe not exactly what they want to do, but it's like you know they're in the vibration of doing what they love and really like going for it. And so I will have to, you know, process it. There are, like when I just get like a really stupid comment that's just like really rude or something like that, I literally just block and delete. But then sometimes there will be comments that make me double think and yeah, I have to process it, I have to work through it. I would absolutely be lying if I said I don't.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think that's really nice to know, though, and, honestly, for someone like myself and I obviously can't speak for everybody, but for someone who actually is I'm trying and I want to build a life that feels really good for me. I look at someone like you that's doing the thing, and, whilst I'm not going to own a massive company like you, I find it so inspiring. So, by keeping yourself small to remain relatable, you then bypass actually helping people who are actually going to be inspiring, for. So it's so good to see you continue to grow and continue to share, and, in your opinion, do you think that money plays a role in that? Obviously, with your success and you earn more money, do you think sometimes that can be a trigger for people seeing other people financially successful?
Speaker 2:oh, absolutely like. I feel like my I've um. I released a like money mindset course last year and oh my gosh, how people got over money, like I. I knew they would, but I was like, oh wow, and it's funny because I actually had created that course, I want to say like 18 months before I launched it. And I remember I created it and there was a part of me because I do lead my business with quite feminine energy and like intuition and there was a part of me who was like, oh, I'm just I'm not ready for this to be out into the world, I'm not ready to put it out yet. And so I literally like banked the document, banked it, you know, spoke to my um brand manager and then we brought it out 18 months later and it's like now, looking back, I really had to build this, like I really had to step into a new identity and my next evolution to hold the projections of triggering people about money.
Speaker 2:Because with money, you know, in the 3d, it feels like, no, you're either born money or you're not born with money. You're either lucky with money or you're not. Like those limiting beliefs feel so real and so tangible to so many people and it has been like ingrained in us, like all the limiting beliefs around money. Like you need to work hard, money doesn't grow on trees, people with money are evil. Um, you know those sorts of things like religion. Oh my gosh, like so many money stories have been so ingrained over not just you know our generation, but like generations and generations that talking about a topic like that is so triggering it's so triggering it's so triggering for people.
Speaker 1:I think it's so brave that you did that, anyway, because, like you said, like your initial online presence was like very like girl next door, very relatable, like you're our bestie and we love you. So to start talking about, like the money that you're making, and that would have been so terrible. Like were there parts where you were just like, oh God, this is so scary for me.
Speaker 2:It's funny because I wasn't. I was. I was just at the point where I think I've done so much work around money and again, the weight of me being like people need to know this, people need to stop struggling with money like money. You earning money from your job, that's like one little slice of like the energy of money. It's like the energy of money and the mindset of money is something that so many people don't know about and it would literally change their lives. It would change how they view themselves, how they work, everything like that. Um. And so there was just this point where I was like, oh my God, like no, like my audience, my community needs this. That that far weighed out the scariness of being so transparent.
Speaker 2:Um, and also there was this point where I was like I'm sick of like even me watching, you know, incredible women, you know kill it at their businesses and whatnot, and not talk about money. I was just like no, like this is a normal thing. We're allowed to talk about money. It's not a dirty topic, it's not something we should be shamed about, it's not something to hide like. This is how much I earn. This is the vibe with money take it or leave it vibes, um. So I I had I bet I had to build up a lot of confidence to really get to that point and feel that way, um, but yeah, so a lot of work was done, but at that point I was just like very um convicted in my beliefs around it. That's amazing.
Speaker 1:I love how you're like. You know a lot of lot of work, but now here we are and that's another thing that people don't see Like they see what you've put out but they don't see all of that work that you had to do behind the scenes to feel confident with putting that out and I think it's really cool that your passion and purpose to help people and help women see what's available to them and how to get that and those different things outweighed that. Some people may not like that and some people may be triggered by that and being able to hold that is like you can tell that you've worked on the capacity to be able to do so. Another obviously very big part of your life is you're a mum to little ivy, who's so bloody adorable, she's so cute.
Speaker 1:You I love how you share your partner and yours role with having a child and being a mum and the different roles Obviously we kind of are told these roles in society of the mum stays home with the baby and all those different things, and you are doing things a little bit differently. I would love to know how that dynamic works for you and what you've kind of had to work on as a family to make that work for you.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Great question. People are always very intrigued. So my husband is a stay-at-home dad, um, and I'm obviously the working parent, uh, so like literally, it's kind of like, uh like our schedule is, you know, we wake up, either one of us goes to gym, the other person gets IV sorted, um, and then I head to work and then I come back from work and Tim always cooks dinner, um, I always uh bath IV and she actually she sleeps in our bed, so we honestly just like go to bed together, um, so that's the dynamic. And then she also does go to kindy two days a week, and so Tim has two days one day to like clean the house, so we have quite a. We live next to a nature reserve and so our property is always like you've got to maintain it. So one day to like sort out the house, and then another day just for himself, so he doesn't go insane.
Speaker 1:So if he doesn't go insane.
Speaker 2:Bless him. With a three-year-old you can, um, you know, uh, and I don't know. Tim has always. He is like a unicorn man where he has never been worried or emasculated by me earning money, like I remember on one of our first dates I told him oh, I want to be a lawyer. So you know, jokingly, I was like so if you want a kid, if you want kids, you'll have to be a stay at home dad. And he was like, yeah, I'm happy with that.
Speaker 2:At the time when I met him, he was a carpenter, so a tradie. And then it's like in our relationship when I was going through uni he really looked after me like he whatever I couldn't pay for, he would pay for my rent, he would pay for our food. I remember once even like I was crying to him about money, um, because I didn't get any support from my parents or anything, and I moved out of home when I was about 19 and he was like, oh, babe, like why don't I give you like an allowance, like an extra hundred dollars a week, just so you can like buy a dress for going out? Like so, sweet, sweetest man ever? And so like he really looked after me during my degree when I needed it, he always stepped up. He is that very masculine energy that I'm going to provide, I'm going to look after you. But it is interesting in our relationship now. You know he looks after Ivy.
Speaker 2:But I guess because I've been very into femme and masculine energy, for example, I really don't mother him in our relationship and I never have. So he's always seen me as the wife. You know, like I don't book his dentist appointment, I don't. He does the washing and I do put it away. It's very much like we see each other as a team. I don't, um, he does the washing and I do put it away. It's very much like we see each other as a team. I don't mother him. So I've always been in that like he.
Speaker 2:She is my wife, she is like my goddess vibes um, and then with me going to work, he has a lot of responsibility at home. Like I don't ever do any um, like I don't buy groceries, like we had this joke the other day that I don't think I've bought toilet paper in like the last six years. I don't think I've been to the store and even like I haven't been to the petrol station because I have an electric car and it's like he very much, you know, takes on the provider role. But the house is always sorted, there's always groceries. It like he, for example, with ivy, even though I'm the mother he um, you know, make sure she's got her vaccines. He goes into her kindy, like he has taken on the role and I just believe, like for a man to feel masculine, they need to be providing, and he knows that I would be a mess without him for what he's doing with Ivy and for me at home. So he feels like he's providing.
Speaker 2:So I just think in our relationship we just were very on to making sure that he feels like he's providing for me, for the family, which he absolutely is. It's just not in like the usual ways of going out and earning money, um, and yeah, so we've really still kept like I'm in the feminine, he's in the masculine, but we just do it in a different way and don't don't get me wrong like there has been shuffling, there has been like talking about things, but I feel like we have kind of figured it out and also, for me, something that you can do if you ever want the opposite of what you have, like a really great exercise, like I remember once I can't remember I think I was like watching TikToks, where she's like you know, you've got to have a man that provides for you, blah, blah, blah. And I remember thinking like, oh, what would it be like if I had a man who went out and earned the money, who you know did basically what I was doing? And the reality is because Tim basically had to give up his career for me to follow my career. So if it was the opposite, where I was provided for and you know my husband went and earned the money that I earned, where I was provided for and you know my husband went and earned the money that I earned, and I was still living the same lifestyle, I wouldn't have like my passion, my mission, which fills me up so much.
Speaker 2:So even some days I'm like fuck, it's so hard. I have to go to work, I feel guilty with Ivy and like all these things. But when I really look at like what life would be like in the opposite me being the person I am I wouldn't actually want that and that's why, even for you like sorry your audience like if you're currently like wishing for something opposite, you have really think about what comes with that Cause. Often we're like, oh, I wish I had you know, know this strong, dominant man. But it's like most of those men are controlling. Do you also want to control?
Speaker 1:I love this conversation so much. I'm like, oh my god, like this is like, this is so brilliant one. You said like I moved out of home at 19 and all the things, and I was like, no, don't say more interesting things, because now I want to know everything. And I was like, okay, don't be off, like don't ask her about that, because I could totally, but that sounds very interesting and like a chat for another time because that is interesting.
Speaker 1:But when you were talking, I was like, okay, one, this guy sounds like an absolute fucking dream and I love you guys so much and like listening to this as someone. Like when you're like, oh, you said you, but then you said your audience, I'm like, no, this is me, this is relevant to me because like this is like me and my partner in very similar dynamic and I'm not gonna like it was challenging at first, like balancing that, that I was making more money than him and him making less money and how that made him feel and why he felt that way and the types of conversations that we had to have around that. So, having this conversation, I'm like, oh my god, I love this. I'm like getting so much out of it, so I really hope other people are getting so much out of it as well with, like, how you guys have made this work.
Speaker 1:What do you think has been the thing that has made your relationship be able to grow and evolve? And obviously he's no longer pursuing his career and you're pursuing your career and that's important and you're following your passion and your purpose and all those different things. What do you think makes it work for you two, like why are you this bloody unicorn dream couple? Tell us.
Speaker 2:I honestly think because we have, like, we've been together since I was 17, so a very long time you're saying so many things about okay, you're together when you're 17.
Speaker 2:You moved out at 19, like your life is so interesting so you know, I'm 30 now, so we've been together for nearly well, well, 13 years just under, or something. So I think, honestly, the secret sauce when I'm thinking of like a long-term relationship is I have accepted him at every evolution and he has accepted me and, I think, a lot of people you know. For example, when I started personal development, like my husband, he's definitely, he has done personal development but also, like he loves golfing, he loves listening to, like joe rogan, he loves cooking steak like he's, he's a man, he's a man.
Speaker 2:He's a typical man, he loves gardening and you know, there was, you know, a phase where I got really into self-development and I'm talking very like deep spiritual stuff. And you know, I'd meet some people and I'd be like, oh, like I wonder what it would be like with, like you know, someone really spiritual and could really like hold these deep conversations and, like you know, blah, blah, blah, like we're humans. It's what happens and I think at every stage I've been like, well, I don't need to change him, I don't need to make him what I need. I always get what I need from me and I don't expect him to always be what I need. So it's like I have accepted him. That okay. Well, he's not, he's not that spiritual and that's okay because I can go have conversation with you know a friend over here and we can talk. You know, soul level, spiritual, and I don't need him to be everything for me and I think also a lot of women.
Speaker 2:We can get in these long-term relationships and we can kind of lose ourselves where we expect our partner to. You know we want them to say, oh, you look pretty today. You know, you're so smart. Like know, we want them to say oh, you look pretty today. Um, you know, you're so smart, like validate us, and that's like we're giving our power away. And I think for me I've never well, like I probably have that time, but I always bring it back where it's like let's be honest, you're like okay, I'm not gonna say never, no, no, that's a strong word, but it's like I've always, I've never expected him to be everything to me, like obviously there is what you expect, you know, the bare minimum in a relationship.
Speaker 2:But whenever I feel like I'm not getting something from him, I honestly don't make it about him and I give it to myself. And I know that sounds like a very like oh, yeah, sure, you give it to yourself, but no, truly, whenever, like like the other day, I remember I was like, oh, like I was feeling a bit like bloated and just shitty about myself because, um, yeah, I just was. And then I remember thinking I just wish he turned around and was like oh, my god, georgie, you're so sexy. And then I was like what, why? And I had to like debunk that. And then also that afternoon I like went and got a massage. I read my fantasy novel. I were like I had cute little clothes on and I was just like you know what I can make myself feel sexy, I don't need him to do everything and be everything for me. And then I like loved him again and I was like oh, he's great, whereas before I was like he's shit, I don't like him.
Speaker 1:I'm not calling me sexy, I hate him now and you're like oh, wait a minute, I can actually do that to myself.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I was like oh, wait, like that's a huge, that's a huge share. Because it's like sometimes we do do that, like I would be guilty of that as well, like we want our partner to do something for us or make us feel a certain way, or fix something or validate us, and we haven't told them that we want that, like we haven't said we want you to make me feel this way. And then we're like that asshole, like why has he not, why has he not just automatically read my mind and done the thing? And we can get frustrated. So it's really cool to be like actually how, maybe in those moments be like okay, what do I want from him and how can I be that for myself? How can I give?
Speaker 1:that to myself and also you did it again where you're like I've been sharing my, you know, feeling bloated and all different things. I have been watching your stories and seeing the journey and I saw you posted that someone had like said, are you pregnant or something to you. I'm like, damn it, that's such another cool conversation, but it's okay, we can just follow along your social media and I do love that you, that you share that and you be so honest with that. It is really cool and that was that was such a cool insight into, like, your relationship and I think we can take away so much from that.
Speaker 1:Our last little, little like question that I have to ask you I can't have you on my podcast, george Stevenson, and not ask you about manifestation. So I really want to know in your life, even if it's just a couple of things or you think it's everything, I don't know tell us what you feel you have been able to manifest like, how manifestation has helped you in your life. But also, if people are trying to manifest something or they're new to manifestation, why do you think it's hard for people to manifest things into their life? What could they be doing wrong?
Speaker 2:So I feel like the biggest thing where people go wrong with manifestation.
Speaker 2:And first of all, I've used manifestation for the last like eight years. So it's like everything you say I have is because I've manifested it. It's very intentional um practice. But also I've made manifestation mine. You know, like that's why I did a whole course on manifestation, because I was like I don't really follow how other people manifest. I have, you know, my own formula.
Speaker 2:But I guess the biggest thing with manifestation that people stumble on is people want the evidence first. So they're like, okay, well, you know, I'll. Because the whole thing with manifestation is like you have to be clear, you have to actually believe that you can have that thing. You have to have the belief system to have that reality and then you have to be on the frequency to have that thing. You have to have the belief system to have that reality and then you have to be on the frequency to have that reality and then you have to take inspired action and then you have to surrender. Like that's the very big formula of manifestation. So a lot of people are like, oh well, you know, I'll get on that vibe and I'll have that belief system when I see some evidence that I can have that thing, because at the moment it feels like I can't. And the thing with manifestation is you, and that's why people say, oh, you need to be like Delulu, which is correct. You need to believe that you can have that thing before there is any evidence of it being a reality.
Speaker 2:That's actually the key to manifesting and that's where everyone stumbles, because, as humans, we want the evidence, like, oh, I need to see, to believe it. And that's what we have been taught in school, you know, by our parents. I feel like that's very ingrained. It's like you don't take risks, you don't take actions unless there's, like you know, a 50% chance it's going to happen. And manifestation is really about being delusional, about believing in the unknown, about believing in yourself so much that you're going to make it happen. And we are really. You know how we're brought up in. Our belief system is not to believe in ourselves, like it's absolutely not and it's like oh well, you can be really cool, but you've got to do this 10-year degree. You've got to. You know you can be this, but you've got to do these 1500 steps, or you've got to be this person, or you've got to be super good looking and like all these things of like what we have to do in order to have the thing. So I feel like that's the biggest thing is people actually having belief that they can have that reality, that they can be that person.
Speaker 2:And something I explained with manifesting that a lot of people don't understand is you really do have to act, as is for a certain amount of time, and I call this like lag time. So you really have to act as if, um, where it feels fucking uncomfortable to show up, as that person. Like, for example, when I was just starting Naked Harvest, um, you know, I had to go to certain business meetings, talk to certain people and like, pretend I fucking had any idea about business, which I didn't. But I, I acted and I had to show up. Um, and that's the thing is, now I'm like the most confident person about business because I've created an eight-figure company. So I'm like, you know, like I'm in the identity, I am the identity.
Speaker 2:But there was a lag time where I wasn't, where I had to be uncomfortable, but where I had to show up, and I feel like a lot of people aren't willing to show up. They're not willing to, um, you know, post videos on the internet, because what will my grandma and my neighbor think? And you know, then they're not willing to put belief and like back themselves because of the limiting beliefs that have been ingrained, um, in us through society. And so that's what I would say. With, manifesting is like, if you can get to the point where you're showing up and you're stepping into that identity, into that new reality, without needing the evidence, I'm almost being that bit delulu, like if I told you know, if I told you my goals, now you, actually you probably might be like, yeah, I can see it actually that sounds like something you would.
Speaker 1:Can you tell us one? Can we know one of your goals?
Speaker 2:oh, one of my goals, which I honestly I don't see it happening for like five years because I'm about to enter another like mother season, but, um, I really want to, you know, write a book and go on a speaking tour and, you know, be like one of those self-help authors that are like not real, but it's like. You know, I'm in a bookshop, you know that feels real, yeah that is so exciting.
Speaker 1:I'm so excited for you and I, you can, you're absolutely going to achieve that and I'll be like see, we heard it here first, you guys. And also that was very reassuring for me because when you said I would go to business meetings and like be like what the fuck is actually happening, but pretend I, I knew that is exactly how I felt showing up to this podcast today. I was like like I'm going to have Georgie fucking see if it's on my podcast. And I'm like really quite new at podcasting, interviewing people Like who am I? What if I like, my brain just stops working and I forget what I'm going to say.
Speaker 1:And I've been manifesting, growing my podcast and getting brave at asking people to come on my podcast and it's fucking uncomfortable. Like coming here today I'm not even kidding Beforehand, beforehand, I was like why am I doing this to myself? Like I'm so nervous, why would I want to feel this way in my body? Like it's not a nice feeling and I felt uncomfortable. But I'm gonna like sit here and I'm gonna do the thing and I'm gonna show myself I can, even when I'm not really believing, like hey, I could be a really good podcaster one day you do the thing anyway.
Speaker 1:So that was like that was super reassuring to me. So I'm sure it's reassuring to like so many people and we look at you and be like you are a fucking businesswoman, look at you building an eight-figure company, but it's nice to know that at one point in your journey you didn't really feel like that, but you did think anyway to leave us in this podcast. I would love to just know one thing that you're struggling with, and if someone is struggling with something similar or the same, what you would actually say to them oh, that's a good one.
Speaker 2:Um, so, something I'm struggling with at the moment. I would say like, yeah, let's just say I'm struggling with it. Um, is you know, surrender and like letting the universe take the wheel and like really being in the I've. I'm clear in the vision, I've done like, I've done the work, I've taken the inspired action. I've done the work, I've taken the inspired action, I've done everything and now it's time to let go and enjoy the present and that's the last step of manifestation. And so, when things aren't coming into fruition, for me it is usually surrender, because I am a control freak, which has helped me a lot in life, and I feel like at the moment there's something happening behind the scenes where I am really having to surrender. But it's like a new level of surrender because I feel like I'm quite good at it. And I would say, if you're struggling to surrender, like, let's say, you're waiting for something, you're waiting for news or something like that, or like something's not really turning out how you thought Someone's like you know, something like that, or like something's not really turning out how you thought Someone's like you know, maybe in a relationship, someone's not, it's not how you thought it would be that, as humans, we really have this thing. That's like, oh, it's meant to be this way.
Speaker 2:I would say, you know, with surrender, I really try and look at the relationship like a child and a parent. And you know, ash, as you know, ash, as you know, children beautiful, beautiful creatures, um, but they often want something that it's like I want lollies at like 7 pm. But as a parent, we're like look, we get it, but you're gonna have a shit sleep, you're gonna be crazy. No, you're gonna have these tomorrow, um, and then the child will tantrum and be like, oh my god, what the hell, I hate you, blah, blah, blah. So I try and think of myself with the universe, as the child would tantrum and be like, oh my god, what the hell, I hate you, blah, blah, blah.
Speaker 2:So I try and think of myself with the universe as the child, and the universe is the parent. So when something isn't happening, I go. I need to trust that this is not actually the right time and they know, you know my best, they have my best interests at heart and it will come in the perfect time of that. So I get to sit and relax and be present in this moment and not wish it away, because even if I look back at any times where I've been in that energy, I kind of don't even remember the time because I was like fuck, I just wished away that whole time and you're missing your life. You're literally wishing away your life. So I would say trust that the universe has your back. It's your parent, it knows best. It's coming, so enjoy the moment.
Speaker 1:Oh my God, that was like the perfect, perfect way to end. I feel like I'm going to listen to that on repeat on my own podcast. I'm just going to tune into the end of this and just have a little listen to this and I'm trying to trust the process. I think that was really lovely. Thank you so incredibly much.
Speaker 1:I did say this to you at the start, before we started recording, but I honestly have no idea why you agreed to come on the podcast and sit with little old me in my bedroom on my small podcast. Honestly, I'm incredibly grateful and I've been thinking about it for the last couple of days in the lead up to having you on here and being excited for it, and I was honestly just like. I'm incredibly grateful for you because you've spent this time in your day and you run companies and you have a family and you're busy, and you decided to spend, you know, 45 minutes sitting here with me and you didn't have to do that and you you probably don't benefit in any way from that, but you did it anyways and I really am incredibly grateful, and you so much. I'm sure everyone will love listening to this episode. I'm so excited to release it and again, thank you for answering so honestly and openly.
Speaker 2:You're so welcome and obviously I, you know, was meant to see that second DM. So for whatever reason, I'm here and again I'm trusting it. So I appreciate that. So much, ash.
Speaker 1:That's funny guys, I actually stalked Georgina, so I appreciate that so much. Ash, that's funny. Guys, I actually stalked Georgina. I didn't stalk her, but like I messaged her like six months ago to ask her to come on the podcast and she didn't see it and didn't reply and I was like that's okay, like you know, trusting being okay, getting okay with rejection or not being heard back, and I messaged her again. I fucking double messaged her is kind of weird, but here I am again and she was like you know what, love the persistence I'm coming on, that's great.
Speaker 2:So like be persistent, you guys, absolutely, and like just don't be afraid of rejection because, like imagine if you never messaged me again after first ones. I know we wouldn't be here, so.
Speaker 1:I know I'm so grateful and thanks to me for being so fucking annoying. It helps, thank you. Thank you so much.
