I'm someone who finds it so uncomfortable, but I sit with it and I feel it, and then I get the feeling out. And that has been a game changer, justin sort of feeling feelings and being more connected to my inner self. Hello and welcome back to the Riz and Conker Podcast. It is your host, Georgie Stephenson. As some of you may know, I'm currently on maternity leave, so Tim and I are soaking up the newborn bubble
and new parent life with our little baby girl. But I did not want to leave my ron C fan with nothing, so we are back the best bits of the Rise and Conquer podcast. We have nearly over two hundred episodes, so I thought it would be a cool idea to bring you snippets from the most listened to, the most talked about episodes and just give you the best bits in a mini episode. So be prepared to get straight into juicy topics, to feel inspired, to feel motivated, empowered,
and of course informed. These episodes are shorter, but they're just full of the best bits. If you did like this mini app, make sure you go to the show notes where we have linked the full episode. And I just want to say I really appreciate you guys still supporting the show while I'm taking some time off to enjoy Baby Girl, and I just can't wait to be back in your ears with fresh episodes in the new year.
We have been planning the next season and there are so many exciting guests and surprises coming up, so I really hope you enjoy this mini episode. Let's get straight into the show. So number one, and it's nothing new or exciting, but this is very much a principle that I now live my life by, and it's everything happens for a reason, and I need to be trusting in the process. So the reason why I'm bringing this up is obviously I started my law degree and finished out
for like six years. God admit, as a lawyer, did my pot and now I'm doing something so different and I often get asked if you know I regret doing that, and the answer is definitely no. I am such a big believer in that needed to happen for me to become the person I am today, and even kind of looking at it a little bit closer, like the skills I developed through working for the law firm I did even through working through my law degree, I had various jobs where I developed a lot of skills, and then
obviously the law degree also comes in handy, just with various skills and life skills. And just like a little example, so I hired mel in twenty eighteen and she really helped me transform my business from this kind of like influencer personal brand to what it is now where it's very multifacet and you know, there's lots going on, and to be honest, I think a lot of that was me taking myself more seriously and giving myself more responsibility
because I now had someone on my team. A lot of that was also realizing when I was working in the law firm that people worked so much better than a team. You know, that whole saying if I want to go quick, I'll go by myself. If I want to go far, I'll go with the team. I think that's right. But I'm such a big believer in that.
And then even kind of little thing, so for example, I obviously work with brands and partnerships within my personal brand, whether that's in a sponsorships on Instagram or YouTube, or even if it's you know, to do with the podcast or Naked Harvest and the biggest feedback that I have ever gotten is how professional my communication is, just in regards to you know, emailing people, getting back to people
and that sort of thing. And the kind of most common thing that comes up is people give me the feedback. With other social media influences, sometimes it's a little bit hard to work with them. And I've even noticed this within Naked Harvest, because we obviously work with influencers. Is you can really notice the people who kind of don't have the skill of even just writing an email and getting back to you, you know, within a good standard
amount of time. And I think that's because a lot of social media influences these days probably go straight from high school and like Instagram is kind of like their part time job, and they go straight into doing it full time, and it really shows that they haven't got those basic kind of life skills of working in a team or you know, having customers and that sort of thing. So honestly, my path, everything that has happened, I would
not change a thing. Everything has happened exactly how it should and even things happening now, I just always tell myself, I'm like, trust in the process. This is all happening for a reason. So that's a very broad, big one, hitting it straight out, all right. So the next lesson is really changing my mindset on things happen for me
not to me. So when I left high school, I definitely wasn't like a negative person or too much in a negative mindset, But I wasn't exactly positive, and I wasn't I don't know, like I kind of the only way I can describe it is I was kind of just going through the motions. So you know, when something bad happened, I would blame it on bad luck or get annoyed or something like that, and if something good happens again, it would just be like, oh, that's good luck.
And I look back, and there's certain times that you know, I didn't get the job I wanted, or I didn't get some opportunity I wanted. But in reality, when I look back, these things happened for me, not to me, because something else better was just around the corner. So
I've got two example stories for you. The first one is with Timothy, my husband, So when I met him, A little backstory is maybe two months before that, I was with my high school boyfriend for three maybe three years, off and on and he completely broke my heart, like right before formal and QCs, like that big test that everyone does in grade twelve, right before that, and I
was like a mess. I was like, proper, I just have this clear vision of my parents coming into my room and me just being like hysterically crying like the most dramatic little person ever. But anyway, and I just thought it was the worst thing ever. I just thought, how can this happen to me? I was meant to with this person? Blah blah blah. Anyway, a couple of months later, I met Tim And the only reason why I met Tim was because of the X. I kind of started talking to Tim in spite and look, I
married him. So looking back, I'm a big believer on like realizing that things happen for me, not to me. And I think, you know, if you are currently going through a hard time and you're just like, there are no positives to the situation, almost sit with it and have faith that eventually something good will come out of it, and if it's not necessarily good, it's a lesson that you can learn from. That's. Yeah, that's a really big
thing for me. R and C fam are you currently trying to grow your hair, get glowing skin and nails, or help your gut health, well look no further because Naked Harvest's collagen powder is here to change it all. Did you know that age twenty five, our body starts producing as much collagen itself and then that amount decreases
every single year. So this is important to know because our skin, which is our biggest organ is made up of seventy five percent collagen and guy's collagen is just a protein, So it does make sense why we start seeing signs of aging around this time. And this is why we called our collagen the beauty Elixa, because it really is a beauty supplement that is going to help
you glow from the inside out. So even though this supplement has amazing esthetic results, you've probably seen my before and after hair photos and my nail snaps on my stories. But more than that, collagen is such an important building block to so many parts of our body. So not only is your skin going to glow, your hair and nails grow, but it's also going to help with your gut health and we all know how important that is. So there's two options with the Naked Harvest collagen Elixa.
There is a pure option which I love to add to smoothies and my coffees, or a pine coconut option which is so fresh and so delicious. I love having that at morning tea or in the afternoon. So iron c Fam glow from the inside out with Naked Harvest's Beauty Collagen Alixa today and Phil free to use the iron c FAM's code, which is Ris and Concher podcasts all spelled out and you can get a sneaky saving
at checkout. Okay, now let's get back into today's episode. Okay, So the next little life lesson is to sit with the feeling. So again, this is something that I learn by seeing my psychologists, and we kind of uncovered that I'm someone who hates feeling feelings. Like I remember during my law degree, I had a professor who said I would be great at family law because I was like emotionless, which is like, now, how really rude when I think back. But basically I can detach to my feelings quite well
compared to other people. And so this has actually been a positive in numerous ways. Like I actually did work in family law and we went through you know, like we had cases where it was really sad things that were happening, and I didn't attach myself to the client or the outcome or anything like that. So it's helpful
in those situations. And then also I think it has helped me just be a really strong person in general, Like I am someone who's so strong, so persistent, so determined, and I think that side of me comes into that. So it's almost like a positive and a negative. Obviously the negative. I've realized that when I feel feelings, I
straightway shut them down and I suppress them. I don't actually let myself feel them, which then means I am constantly suppressing these feelings and they are manifesting in quite toxic ways. So a lot of my anxiety was actually to do with suppressed feelings that I hadn't dealt with over the years, which I had never really sort of understood or heard of that term, and it was really interesting to me, and also just other ways of manifesting in toxic ways. So when I am feeling negative or sad,
I no longer just suppress and don't feel it. I now sit with the feeling and I will actually put a timer on. It's something like sixty ninety seconds that feeling will pass. So for that amount of time it is really uncomfortable. I am someone who finds it so uncomfortable, but I sit with it and I feel it and then I get the feeling out. And that has been a game changer just in sort of feeling feelings and
being more connected to my inner self. So another thing that I found was because I was suppressing these feelings, I was very disconnected from my inner self. And when I say my inner self, like I kind of mean my intuition and my most authentic self. I feel like that is a whole other podcast in itself, because the term may not be very usual, but I can definitely
get into that with another podcast. But to feel my most authentic self and to be really in tune with my intuition, which has been what this year has been about for me personally and business wise. I've really had to actually start feeling my feelings. And it's actually like sometimes I will sit with the feeling and I literally like cry feel the feeling, and then sixty seconds later,
like I'll be fine. And it's really funny because like if Tim or something is around, he's like, what the fuck just happened, but oh God, like, stop suppressing your feelings. Feel your feelings because it's such a game changer, and then they won't come out in these like negative ways. Thank you for listening for another rn C episode.
