Honour The Season You Are In

in the work to get there. I want to bring you the tools and actionable steps to feel confident in yourself, inspired to take bold action, and motivated to conquer your goals. Are you with me, girl friends, Let's rise and conquer. Hi, guys, and welcome to another episode of the Rise and Conquer Podcasts. Today, I am coming to you with a solo podcast. It

is Sunday morning. I've actually just done a bit of work in bed this morning with my coffee, which is something I love doing if I'm working on the weekend.

And then I went for a really nice walk on the beach and I've actually been listening to this like tape with like mantras, and then I came back and did a little meditation I'm feeling very calm, very zen, and I just had this idea for this podcast, so not planned as usual with my solo podcast, but today I want to chat to you about honoring the season that you were in. So this has come about because I'm in a season. I don't know if I've actually

told you guys this yet. I get confused what I have, but I'm currently in a season of slow and this is because was previously probably the last six months, I just had a very hectic schedule with the live podcast events like launching naked harvests and just a couple of personal things, and it really feels like I've been on this like automation, like I have not had time to stop, and I've just been like smashing out content, smashing out things really happy and I love doing that sort of thing.

But probably a good month ago I really felt this kind of like inner intuition feeling that I just I needed to slow down. And it very much felt like physically like I felt just very exhausted and drained. Mentally, I felt very creatively blocked. Actually I definitely did talk about this in my Creating Space podcasts, and so yeah, I really had this feeling of I just want to create space, I just want to go a bit slower.

And for me that it was a very foreign concept because, like you guys know, like I'm a very fast paced person. I went straight from high school and to doing my law degree, and then while I was doing that, I was doing all my social media, and then I started a side business, and then I went full time, and then I started a podcast and then Naked Harvest and just going one hundred miles per hour all the time, and I love it. I really kind of feed off

that sort of stuff. My personality is like, that's me and that's amazing. But you can imagine how I feel when my body and mind is kind of like something inside me is just like you need to go slow. So it took me a while to even realize what I needed to do. But now I'm in this season, I'm like, yes, this is exactly where I need to be, exactly, this is exactly what I need to do. So it

feels right for me. But in saying that, I do have these feelings that pop up that try and get me out of you know, this good feeling and this flow we'll call it. So stuff pops up like, you know, if I'm slowing down, does that mean that I'm going to get taken over by forgotten about? You know, a people are going to take my good ideas or you know, just is something going to happen because I'm slowing down?

And I've realized that this is such a fear based mentality that I know we all get that really tries to take off this like aligned path where we're supposed to be. And I know you guys might also be in a certain season and you kind of you know you should be there, you know what you're doing, but this fear based mentality does come up, it rears its head, and it's kind of like it puts self doubt in

your mind. And so I really want to to talk about this and really create a podcast that's about, you know, telling you guys and telling myself really that when you are in a season and you know you're supposed to be in this season, of really honoring it. So stop looking around and feeling like you're missing out or you're doing something, you're not doing something you should be doing, and just really trust where you need to be, trust your intuition, and don't live in that fear based mentality.

So for example, I actually have a friend at the moment and she is saving, well, she's not saving for a house. Her and her partner have already they've already got a mortgage and they're building a house, but they currently live in a rental house, so they're having to you know, pay the mortgage they're building a new house, or the expenses plus pay rent. So basically she can't do too much because she's got to save money for that.

And we were discussing how, you know, she does feel like she's missing out on things because she's literally having to say no, I can't afford that. And she is a social butterfly, so she's kind of she used to always doing stuff with us, always coming to the events, and you know, kind of doing whatever she wants to do in regards to money. And she kind of said that she was feeling like isolated and she was feeling

like she was missing out. But we had a big discussion about it, and then she said, you know, this is my current season, and instead of looking outwards and feeling like I'm missing out and feeling isolated and all that sort of stuff, I need to trust that the season I'm in, I need to kind of, you know,

be in this season and do it. And I know when I'm out of this season, I'll have money to you know, come and do whatever I want to do or hang with my friends and imagine how great I'm going to feel because I've been in that previous season of saving money. And I feel like we can all

have seasons. So you know, you might be complete opposite me, and you might be in this season of just getting shit done, like Boss girl mode, getting stuff done, and you might be going one hundred miles an hour, and then you know you might be feeling like, oh, should I be slowing down? You know what am I doing? The self doubt comes up. But if you really feel aligned in what you're doing and it almost feels easy to be in that season of get shit done, like

that is where you're meant to be. This can also be a season of you know, maybe training and eating. Maybe you're in a season of it's just not a priority at the moment. You're not training as much as you usually would or eating as healthy as usually would maybe work as the priority. And I think you need to realize that things ebb and flow so at the moment because you're training and eating isn't necessarily a priority,

that doesn't mean it never will be. And if you really need to be in a season where you know, work or whatever it is, is a parity, then you need to trust in that. Or maybe it's something like you aren't seeing your friends as much at the moment because you're so busy, and you know, you have these feelings of guilt and you know, will they be there when I'm finished or anything like that, and maybe this

just isn't your season to be social. Like I know, I literally had two years, two full years where I just really did not see like even my best friend, I barely even saw her. But then I had this year after where I was like this social butterfly and I was like going out, I was seeing everyone. And I think it's about honoring that, because a big thing

for me is realizing that everything ebbs and flows. And if you're currently in this season and you're almost like pushing against it and you're not honoring the season that you're in, it will feel really hard and it will not feel good. So for example, like maybe you're really trying to push something, so you're really trying to push an idea or push in a like a relationship and

it's just not working. And so I think you need to take a step back and realize in my life, where am I not listening to my intuition, aligning with where I meant to be, and honoring the season that I'm in. I'm definitely that person who previously, you know, if I wanted something or wanted to do something or anything like that, like I would just push and push and push. But now I've realized that that just doesn't

work and things don't have to be so hard. And that was a big thing for me actually with training and eating, Like I would go through seasons where it was just so easy to get like forty five minute work in every single day, to eat healthy, like it just was seamless, and then there was seasons where it

felt so difficult. And I always find like when things are so difficult and if they're just not working, I would then turn my attention to something else, focus on where I needed to align myself as something else in my life, and like I said, things will ebb and flow, so then that would come back again in the future. Before we continue, I'm quickly interrupting this podcast to proudly

introduce this week's episode sponsor Naked Harvest Supplements. As you may already know, Naked Harvest is a natural supplement company I co founded with my brother. So here's the exciting news. We just launched our newest product, range, Thrive plant Protein. Now Thrive is not just your average protein. Not only is Frive made from pea protein, making it vegan friendly, but it is also packed full of functional superfoods, adaptogens,

and minut yeuals to promote a thriving, healthy body. Our aim was to create a plant based protein supplement, but rework the formula so it provides you with so much more than your regular run of the mill protein. So this means no more needing to add extra ingredients to

your smoothie or post workout shake. Thrive has it all so of course, as a protein, it builds lean muscle and helps repair tissue, but it also provides you with extra tummy love, increased energy hormone balance, mental performance, and immune protection. With ingredients like Siberian gin, syng organic macropowder

and magnesium, it's like hitting the supplement jackpot. The best part, we've launched it in not one, but three epic flavors including peanut butter, brownie, mango cheesecake which is my personal favorite, and vanilla shortbread. If you want to try thrive for yourself, my Rise and Conker community get a special discount of fifteen percent off with a Rise and Conquer at checkout. Go to our website Naked Harvest Supplements dot com or follow us on Instagram at Naked Harvest Supplements and I'll

make sure I put all the links in the show notes. Okay, now let's get straight back into the episode. Another thing that I'm doing differently is previously in my business, I was kind of like logical, So if I was deciding on a partnership or a next step or a new project, I would ask myself, you know, to suit my business, is it a good opportunity. Rather, now I'm getting really clear and asking myself does it excite me? And does

it spark joy? Because I really feel like I'm in the season where that's my end goal, Like that's what I want the result to be. So they're the questions I want to ask myself. So maybe things feel really difficult and really hard at the moment because you're not aligning with your true, authentic and result, like maybe you need to start asking yourself different questions of what you really want. I know I keep saying this, but I

really love this concept of everything ebbs and flows. So if you're in a season of slow maybe you have creativity blocks, trust that soon or somewhere in the future that it's going to come back. So if there's anything lacking in your life now, don't live in the fear mentality of you're never going to get it. Just have faith and trust that you know it's not happening at the moment. That's all good. I'm going to focus on what needs to be more aligned in my life and

just kind of I call it surrendering. And this is something that has been quite hard for me because I am someone who I'm just such a control freak, Like I'm a tipaid control freak. So I've had to learn this process of really surrendering the outcome, surrendering and just going Okay, what do I need to do, like guide

me universe. And it's actually funny because I don't talk about this too much, but I love doing meditation at the moment and I have this really cool mantra that I say, so for example, I'll often do a meditation where I sit down and I recite a mantra. I put on some really nice like meditation music, and I set my alarm for five or ten minutes and I get my breath really long and you know, relaxing, and then I just recite this mantra for the whole time, and I say, I trust the universe is guiding me

exactly where I need to be. And so I'll often do this if you know those kind of the fear mentality is popping up, if the self doubt is popping up. I don't know about you guys, but so for example, I'm in this season of slow, and then I'll go on Instagram and I'll see that, you know, some girl is doing this big new project and it seems really exciting, and you know, this thought pops up and I'm like, maybe I need to do a new project or start

this or do that. And then I've got to kind of push it down and stop kind of stop comparing myself and stop looking outwards and just go, no, I'm honoring the season of slow. I really need to be here, like my intuition is telling me I need to be here.

And then I'll often do this meditation and so like I said, I trust the unit, I'll say I trust the universe is guiding me exactly where I need to be, and I'll keep reciting that, and then after i will get this feeling of calmness and I'm like, yes, no, this is exactly what I'm meant to be doing. This is this season I'm meant to be in. So kind

of like clarity, which is something I always seek. And also, like I said, if things don't feel aligned at the moment, if things like if your intuition is not lining up, or you don't feel like you're connected to your intuition, or if things are really painful and hard, maybe there is something that needs to be realigned in your life.

So start looking where things aren't going well, where you're having to really push things instead of flow, and then look to areas of your life where things are really flowing. So something that I don't know if you guys have noticed, but if you have me on Instagram, which is just at Georgie Stevenson, I'm really talking a lot about not even talking, but you'll see from my Insta stories like every single day I'm really seeking joy, which is something

I never used to do. I don't know, it just never occurred to me that I should be enjoying every single day. I realize that sounds a bit traumatic, but

I don't know. So, for example, I've got this series on my interest stories where I really want to do a front flip and like land on my feet, and so me and Tim will go down to the beach, or I'll go down to the beach the body my little nephew, and like we'll jump off the sand dunes and I'll try and do a ford flip, and I usually am like just stacking it and like me and Tim are laughing, and then he tries, and the whole experience is very like in a child, and we're just

out there. There's nothing, like we're not doing that for anything except joy. And so I'm really seeking joy. And I realized that that was an area in my life that things were really just flowing. Like the days where I was getting the joy in, they were like really good days. I was having a really productive day at work. And then the days where I wasn't getting joy in and I wasn't focusing on joy, things were feeling really hard and tough. So I kind of was like, Okay,

I need to start adding in more joy. And it's funny because like these downloads that I like to call them, they were they would just come to you when you are getting more in tune with how you feel. And

the first step is just being aware. So if as I was saying rambling on as I do with these solo podcasts, if straight away you thought of something that does not feel aligned, maybe have a look of how you can change that in your life, or you know, baby steps of how you can start doing less of it or outsource it, or have a conversation if it's

a relationship or anything like that. And then also I guarantee when I was talking about feeling aligned, something popped in your head about what feels really aligned to you at the moment in your life, like what is bringing you joy, what is feeling in flow? And start doing more of that. I'm going to finish the podcast, but for me, I'm just really honoring the season I'm in. I'm not looking around. I'm not looking what others are doing or you know, logically thinking what I should do.

I'm really trusting what feels good and what feels aligned, and I'm leaning into that rather than leaning into the fear and the self doubt. And it feels good. It feels really good, and just so I wanted to touch on it today. But I hope you have a lovely day or night whenever you are listening, and I'll chat to you in my next episode. Bye for now.
