and Ivy is so lucky. But you know, there's definitely been a lot of things to navigate. I don't know if the masculine and fem Energy episode will be live when this goes live, but I talk about in that episode how we really had to establish like our routine because for example, when I'm at work, I'm in my masculine energy, like I'm telling people what to do, I'm

deciding things. And then so we had issues because I would be in my masculine energy all day and then I'd come home and I'd still be in my masculine energy and I'd like decide what we're having for dinner, help cook, decide when we're having things. Whereas Tim was in his feminine energy all day like with a child, with a baby, and then when I when I got home too, he would also stay in that feminine energy. And feminine energy is just like it's relaxed, it's go

with the flow. But then I was, you know, experiencing burnout because I was like designing everything all the time. And then also you can imagine if you're a male and you're like constantly in this feminine energy, it's like it's just it's not balanced. So now we kind of have this very interesting dynamic where he's obviously looking after Ivy. She does go to daycare two days a week and so you know, usually one of those days is kind of doing stuff around the house, and then another day

he just has for himself. But basically, I got a work and when I come home, I go full feminine mode. So I don't really do anything. I don't cook dinner, I don't decide what we're having for dinner. I don't decide what time we're having for dinner. I come home and I go straight into my feminine energy, which is very just like relaxed, receive, flowing, and obviously just go straight into spending time with Ivy, putting my stuff down.

our needs and how we're feeling. But yeah, so we kind of share the load in regards to Once I get home, I pretty much predominantly and just like Ivy time, so looking after Ivy, getting Ivy ready, but I want that, and he then is still like cooking dinner and doing things. But you know, as you can imagine being with a toddler all the day, like that's a treat. That is a treat, and it's just what works really well for us.

He really enjoys doing it well. Usually when he's cooking dinner too, he like puts in a podcast and just has some hymn time, or he might like go get out of the house if he needs to. But it's working really well. I feel like, if you think about it, Ivy is, you know, nearly three in November, so I feel like we've really found our feet and it's feeling really good. But it did take some time. It did take some tweaking. Why are you hiring a new personal

assistant content creator? I love how you guys ask these sorts of questions. My old personal assistant content creator she moved on to another job, so I'm getting a new one. And there's honestly, like no tea here or anything like that. Just like a dream role came up for her and so she just took a chance and she got it. And I'm so so happy for her and I have hired someone new and she seems incredible. She hasn't yet started, but I'm really excited to have her on the team.

And I like when someone leaves, you know, Naked Harvest or Rise and Conker, I just have endless amounts of like love and gratitude for the work that they did.

into more is less error more is less. I feel like the last year there just has been a lot happening externally, you know, I've been doing a lot of things with goals and in the businesses, but then also internally, in my inner work and in my personal life. I feel like just so much has happened this year, guys like sad and return vibes, like one thing after the other, dealing with triggers, dealing with relationships turning upside down, dealing

with just like a lot of shit. It has felt like I've been dealing with a lot of shit, but like huge growthier in regards to like personal growth. So I am very grateful for being in the shit and I feel like what it has made me realize is less is more, And I feel like that was my focus honestly for a while, Like as soon as I had Ivy, it was like, Okay, I've got limited time.

What do I want to focus on? And it's like narrowing in, But I feel like even more refinement is needed where I'm really really clear on what are the goals for R and C, what are the goals for NH, you know, what are the goals and my businesses and then scratch everything else and then obviously you know, family time,

Tim and Ivy and again just like narrowing in. Because I am a manager, I do get quite excited about opportunities and things happening, and I feel like I have been really great with my boundaries this year, but I do really feel like less is more and I really am going to sit down at the end of this year and create a goal blueprint for a new course we're bringing out at the end of the year. It's like a new year course where you like create goals.

I'm going to sit down and really do that because I do this concept of like milestones throughout the year, which has really excited me. I think sometimes you can set goals and they're they're so big and they're so exciting, but it's like when you actually look at a calendar, it's like when are those happening?

for some reason, the word privacy comes up. Yeah, it feels very next level. I'm very very excited about the next season for myself and this next year. But in saying that, like it is November and I'm just honestly slowing down because i really want to enjoy the Christmas period with Tim and Ivy. What is your working schedule alike, working for home or in the office. So the day to day changes so much for me because I have multiple businesses. But let me get up my Google calendar.

So basically mondays, I do back to back meetings, so you know, I have a meeting. I'm looking right now at my Monday next week and it says like the first meeting is with my pa. We're gonna go through content just like admin stuff. And then the next one, I have a catch up with Chantel, the marketing director of Naked Harvest, and then I have a catch up with Jamie, the brand manager for and Conker.

It's like a very creative but I'm like actually filming. Then Wednesday and Thursday, I work from home and I actually block out these days so no one can book in time with me. And these are days that are completely for myself where I get to pick what I am doing, creating and working on. I might be like, all right, I want to create a new course and I'll go out to like a beautiful cafe and nature and just like a brainstorm. Or it literally might be a day where I'm like, hey, I have been really

disconnected from myself. I'm gonna take the day off and have a meet day. Like I have those options in the Wednesday and Thursday. Otherwise that's also when I book like personal appointments because I know I won't be in the office. And then Friday is genuinely like my catch up day. So again I try and keep that spare but it usually fills up with like leftover shit. So again, like I'm recording the podcast on the friday meetings that

are like quite urgent stuff like that. Otherwise we all have like an early finish on the Friday, so we generally only are working the morning. But I love kind of just catching up and wrapping up everything on a Friday. Okay, this is a good question. How to be good in your energy when you're living in a toxic home?

Do I need to mirror that energy because you absolutely don't. You obviously need to work on your emotional intelligence to not get triggered, because that's the thing is if you are getting triggered by people being in bad moad modes or like those sorts of things, it's because you do have triggers. You do have stuff you need to work on. So it's kind of showing you where you could be

doing the inner work. Obviously, I'm not talking about toxic toxic relationships like anything hardcore, but you know, like toxic relationships in the nature are usually our greatest teachers. They're teaching us things about ourselves. We honestly have the greatest growth. So you could be looking at this is a period of you having your greatest growth. But also I am sending you so much love because that is just it's hard if you're in that situation and you feel like

you can't get out. But obviously the first alternative would be to get out of that environment. But I understand if it's parents or something like that. Guys, I literally took a call from Cuba. It was like twelve o'clock when I was recording. I took a call from Cooper and then I ended up on a call with Lil and then I ended up on a.

relationship alive? Great question, I think like with relationships and keeping the spark alive, just realizing that, like everything else, there is going to be seasons when you guys are just focused on the kids or the kid and it's about them, or you know, maybe you're going through something and you know you maybe don't have that much of a spark or this's not as much moments, and then you'll go through seasons where like you're really hard in your work goal, your fitness goal, or like you know

what I mean, and it's like the relationship takes a back seat, And it's just noticing when the relationship is taking a little bit of a back seat and then switching it up and putting a bit more effort. Like I love the saying the grass is greener where you water it, And so for example, if you have these thoughts of like I wish he would just like randomly come home with flowers, or I wish he would book me a date night, or those thoughts. It's okay, great, it just means you're craving connection.

of be moments where he does it. Like, for example, we're in a very interesting point because Ivy sleeping in our bed. And it's honestly, if you told Georgie a year ago that her baby was sleeping in her bed, she would be so shocked because I was like very against it and very like my sleep so important, she can't sleep on my bed, blah blah blah blah, And then she is quite scared at the moment. So we live in a house that's like two. Her room is

two levels down, which is not ideal. It is not the most family orientated house, which is something we've been thinking about. So she gets quite scared because like her bedroom is like downstairs, if that makes sense. So, you know, having your beautiful little toddler be like, Mummy, I can't sleep in my bed. I'm scared, Like I'm not gonna be like, no, Ivy sleep in your bed. So she's been sleeping in our bed and I just kind of

love it, like so snugly. We have a king bed, so she definitely will roll over and smack me and kick me, but it is big enough. I've been sleeping in the bed and that used to be like me and Tim's you know, time to talk, to be intimate, to disconnect, and now she's in the bed. So we're

noticing we have to make even more efforts. So we have been Ivy goes to daycare two days a week, and I have been working from home those days just so me and Tim have a bit more time and we usually do like a date breakfast or a date day. And so it's just a season where we don't have as much connection time in bed because we've.

we'd love another baby. Do you have any tips on finding life's purpose or clarity on what you want in life? Feeling stuck? I think everyone's purpose is to be uniquely them. For example, my purpose isn't a supplement business or a podcast business or do you know, like my purpose is definitely weaved in my businesses, but it comes from this beautiful place of me being uniquely and wholeheartedly myself, and then a business has like come off the back of that,

if that makes sense. And so I just think if you feel like you're lacking purpose, I would say start connecting back to yourself, start connecting back to like your authentic you. Again, I have been kind of creating a.

so I will absolutely do that. Another person asked, how do I know when the next level is around the corner. There are so many changes happening right now, and I feel so lost. Honestly, I swear when things are going to shit, like if you think it, your old life has to crumble if you want a brand new life. So if you notice that you have been asking the universe, I want change, I want this new thing, I want

this new reality. If everything is going to shit, I swear that is when your next level is right on the horizon. You are on the cusp. And if you think about it, if you have been asking the universe, I want a different reality. I want this thing that is over here that is different from your current reality. Things have to break down, they have to crumble in order for new things to happen. So every time like things are going to shit in my life, I know

I'm about to up level. I know there's a whole new existence reality me coming in because like that's that's what it means. Things have to crumble, And often we say we want these things, but there's no room, and so the universe will purposely push people out. It will make you uncomfortable, it will make situations really hard, so you have to leave. So you have to get out in order for you to go to the next level. And it's so funny because we usually are like, oh my god, everything's.

feel now leaving some long term friendships behind? Sad Lighter, don't overthink it. It's like that beautiful saying of people aren't meant to be in your life forever. So when I have friendships that you know end or even like what I was saying, like when you know Lannie left, that was obviously on beautiful terms, even if it's like not on the greatest terms, it's I never think it's a bad thing. I never think it's a negative thing.

People aren't supposed to be in your life forever. They're meant to be here, and they either empower you or they teach you a lesson and then they leave, and that is perfect. And I never overthink it.

such a low vibrational feeling. And if you don't forgive yourself, this thing will follow you around, it will eat it you, it will trigger you, and until you heal it, until you forgive yourself, it will honestly affect most aspects of your life, most of your relationships, because it's basically you not accepting a part of yourself. Because if you think about it, we all make mistakes, we all go through

this life not being perfect. So if you can't forgive yourself, you are basically saying that you have to be perfect and that is an unrealistic standard. And you are also saying because you know, life is just a mirror. So if you cannot forgive yourself, you cannot forgive others.

The heaviness you carry around when you haven't forgiven yourself. And I'm talking like, this is stuff and I'm like twenty a teenager and if you were still carrying that around now, Oh, guys, like, do the inner work like it is life changing, especially, yeah, especially the forgiveness stuff. I did a lot of trauma and toxin work the last year two were a coach and it was all

around like forgiveness and accepting myself. And again I can tell it's like if you have weird things with forgiveness, you will also have strains of you can't accept yourself. And if you can't accept yourself, think about that, like you were basically in disharmony with your and that can create disease, that can create health issues, that can create

so many problems. So forgiveness is huge and that's why we did do I think there's two forgiveness meditations on the rise app in the Self Acceptance Month life changing. Actually answering your question understand that we came to this earth to learn lessons, to grow, to evolve. Imagine if I came to this earth as a three year old, I was like a billionaire or I was like, you know, like running a multi million dollar business. I was like,

had it all figured out. I never made a mistake from when I was a child, Like, it just that's not a thing. You need to make mistakes. You need to progress, you need to evolve. So it's like, anytime I make a mistake, it's just like, cool, well now I know I won't do that again.
