I am such a big believer that if you have something on your heart, it could be anything like if you have in your heart that you need to leave your nine to five job, or you know, you want to start a certain hobby that doesn't make sense, or you know, just when you have this like kind of thing in your head and you're like, this actually doesn't make a lot of sense, but I really want to
do something. I've had that so many times before, and it has always led me to either a next step that has got me where I want to be, or it's been the thing that I was like, wow, imagine if I did not listen to that desire. Welcome back to the Rise and Conquered Podcast. I'm your host, Georgie Stevenson, former lawyer turned entrepreneur, social personality and personal development junkie.
This podcast is for my girl gang who want to feed their mind with positive and expansive thoughts to help them step into their power and live their most authentic life. We chat a variety of topics including mindset, business, relationships, health, and so much more. Basically, wherever you are on your journey, I want to help you feel inspired and empowered to
rise up and conquer your next bold move. I know that's going to look different for everyone, but just no, I'm right here by your side and that you have the RNC community behind you. Let's do this. Hello and welcome to the very first episode of season four, well solo episode of season four. So we are kicking off this episode and I'm introt using you to the theme of this season. I have never really done a theme, but I've been called I want to do a theme,
So we're doing a thing, guys. So the theme of season four of the podcast is bold Action. So let's be honest. Twenty twenty was a bit of a write off. It was a bit of a crappy year for all. You know, some more devastating than others. But I think we can all say that it wasn't the greatest year. It was a lot, and it was filled with anxiety
and changed plans and it was just a lot. And so season four I really want to have the theme of bold action because if last year taught us anything, it's that nothing in life is guaranteed and there's honestly no right timing for anything. It's kind of like, if you want something, you need to go after it or you need to take steps. And I think twenty twenty was such a good reminder of this because it was just such a good reality check of how short life
truly is and how quickly things can change. And I was talking to a girlfriend about this, and she was explaining that one of her resolutions is to just take action in twenty twenty one, because you know, she had kind of had a lot of opportunities in previous years and never just acted on it because she was always like, oh, you know, I'll do that next year, or it's just not the right timing. And she was like, none of that. This year. I'm taking bold action and I'm going after
what I want. And I just I absolutely loved that and found so much inspiration from that, and I just could not agree more so the topics we chat about and the guests I put on the show, there's going to be a bit of a theme about bold action and just going after what your heart truly desires. And that's you, guys, know, I'm so about that life. That's
what I preach on here. I am such a big believer that if you have something on your heart, it could be anything like if you have in your heart that you need to leave your nine to five job, or you know, you want to start a certain hobby that doesn't make sense, or you know, just when you have this like kind of thing in your head and you're like, this actually doesn't make a lot of sense,
but I really want to do something. I've had that so many times before and it has always led me to either a next step that has got me where I want to be, or it's been the thing that I was like, wow, imagine if I did not listen to that desire. You guys know, I'm a huge, kind of like intuitive step person. So yeah, that's what I kind of want to chat about today. It's just going to be a small little pep talk. I've got a
bit of a practice you can go into. I did just want to start off and mention if you haven't already, I know I've been like really blasting this, but oh my god, guys, it's such an amazing free resource. But if you haven't already, you need to download my free ebook. So the ebook is called Your Ultimate Guide to Taking Bold Action in twenty twenty one, fitting I know all in the theme of bold Action. Bit. Basically, it's a free download you just go to the link in my bio.
I've got my Instagram bio on the podcast into Instagram's bio, and also I will link it in the show notes for this episode. Basically, you just go there, you press on the link. You just have to enter your email and then you get emailed this free ebook that really breaks my sort of I guess method the down of going into the new year, setting goals, reflecting, and then also there's some cool mini trainings there from my Rise and Conker project. So just a really amazing resource, completely free.
I really just wanted to give you guys something that tangible that you could you know, download and write on. It is interactive, so you can write like on your computer in the PDF, or you just you know, print it off or write it in your in your journal. And that's just because reflecting and getting clear on who you want to be and what you want in the new year is just it can catapult you and really be the catalyst to really get to where you want to be. And it's something that you know, I don't
do it just at the start of the year. I do it all throughout the year, and so I just wanted to give you a little something so if you haven't downloaded it, please go and download it. It won't be available forever. Yeah, and it's just a really amazing free resource, And if you have and you found it helpful, please share it with like a girlfriend or a family member. Reflection and goal setting is so huge and it would just be so lovely of you if you did share it.
I would obviously appreciate it so much as well too. But let's chat bold action. So I know the word bold action might even sound a bit like intimidating because it's like bold action. But honestly, bold action doesn't have to be huge action. What I mean by bold action is just going after something you want and not kind of listening to the what you should do or what other people are doing, really listening to your internal company compass, sorry and your intuition and going after what you want.
It doesn't have to be a huge step. It can be a small step. But the reason why I say bold is because when we do actually, you know, listen to our intuition and go after what we want, that's bold, Like that is huge. And you know my background of you know, doing law and doing these steps, because it's really what I thought I should do rather than what
I wanted. And I didn't listen to my intuition and my internal compass for years and years and years, I did, you know, six years of study, and then right towards the end, I was like, wait a minute, I'm really not listening to my compass and I'm feeling really out of alignment. And when I did start listening to my intuition and I started to reflect and really get down to what I wanted to do, I realized I was in the wrong career, in the wrong place, and I
made some huge changes. And I'm not saying you have to do something like that, but I am talking about about getting quiet, listening within, getting clear on what feels aligned to you, what feels true to you, because it's going to be so so different for everyone, and then taking small or big steps towards that. That is bold action.
And guys, if you think about it, when you're living in alignment with what you truly feel is correct for you and your life, the feeling that you should get is like ease and flow and feeling happy and feeling grateful. And I kind of explain it in the way of like things just feeling right. That is when I know I'm in alightenment, and when I'm not in alignment and things are going wrong and feeling things are feeling difficult, I literally step back and go, Okay, what is happening here?
I've obviously, you know, followed a path or done something that is not actually in alignment. Like, let's kind of backtrack and let's get true to where I really want to be and go from there. So I just want to give you some questions, some stuff to think about. If you want to go deeper than this, make sure you get the ebook, because we do go a lot deeper, but just stuff to think about. Because I think everyone can benefit from living in alignment and taking bold action
that feels true to them. So something that I love doing and I think is so important when you are when you have decided you do want to you know, live in alignment and go after something different or just go after what you want, is really getting clear on who you want to be and what that life looks like.
So I'm not just talking about like, you know, a specific desire of you know, I want this or I want to be this person, I want to change this career, but like really getting deep and is like what does your whole life look like like, what does a day
in that life look like? So it could be like your dream life, like really dream big here, really think about the bigger sort of vision, and I want you to visualize the little details, like I want you to start thinking about like what do you look like, what are you wearing? How do you feel? How do you show up in the world. And then I want you to think about like what does your day look like? Like? What time are you waking up? What does your morning
ritual look like? What are you doing during the day? What is your job or are you looking after you know, children, like what is happening during the day, what does it
feel like? Again, like I really want you to think about the feelings, because feelings and intention is everything, and just visualize what that like dream life, ultimate day looks like, because sometimes we can have these like desires, specific desires of you know, I want to do this career or I want this car or you know, these things, but we're not actually looking at the bigger picture and getting
clear about our actual life and us as people. So do this, like kind of visualize exercise once you've stopped this podcast and really have a think about you, yourself and your life. Now, once you're clear on your you know, future, best self and that sort of dream life, and honestly, it might be like quite similar to what you're doing now.
That might just be a few tweaks. But once you're clear on that, I want you to start thinking of a small, bold action you can take to get a step closer, you know, to that dream life and that direction. It can be small, it can be big, it can literally be anything. But what I want you to do
is sit quietly. You can, you know, be in a bit of a meditative state or journaling or whatever you need to do, Like set the scene, like make sure you've told your husband or your boyfriend or your kids or roommate, just like leave me alone for ten to twenty minutes. Get in that state, do that visualization, and then I want to I want you to sit there, take some breaths, hold you can, put your hand on your heart, hold your heart, and really get into a
state and ask yourself, what is the next step? What does it look like to me? And without any judgment or when you you know, try and get logical or anything like that, just see what comes up. Just see what comes up. Write it down. Like I said, like, no judgment. It might scare you, it might excite you, try and take the emotions away from it and really just like see what comes up for you. Because a huge thing that I do is my next steps are always intuitive, and I honestly think that's like such a
huge thing. So don't think logically, you know, what is the logical next step. Oh, I want to start a business, I should start an Instagram or whatever. Like, no, we're not doing that. We're getting into your intuition and we're going what feels good to me, what is the next step. So that's just like a very kind of quick exercise. What's not that quick. You can take as little as much time as you want, but it's just an exercise
to get into that next step. Because I guarantee when I'm telling people, you know, to take bold action and to go after what they want this year, a huge thing that comes up is, you know, I don't know what that looks like and I don't know what that is, and oh my god, that is so fine. But so this is a really good practice that you can do to really tap into what that looks like for you.
This episode is brought to you by Naked Harvest Supplements, the natural supplement company I co founded with my brother. This company was really brought to life because I have been using supplements for such a long time since the start of my fitness journey. But what I really struggled to find was all natural supplements without the crap, that were tailored to women's health and that actually tasted good.
And that's how Naked Harvest Supplements was born. Our hero products are a natural pre workout and our vegan Thrive Protein. Our natural pre workout is vegan, gluten free, refined sugar free and is a natural energy boost without the crash. This is your go to to enhance your workout and to get you in the mood to conquer your day. My favorite flavor is sweet strawberry, which literally tastes like strawberry clouds, Oh my God. And tropical iced tea which
tastes like that lipped and iced tea drink. It is so refreshing. Our Thrive plant protein is also vegan, gluten free, refined sugar free, and it is so smooth for a vegan protein. I know our nhgang loves cooking with it or using it. In that post workout smoothie, and so do I. My favorite flavor for the Thrive is definitely our newest pancake batter flavor. It is the real deal and tastes exactly like the name. If you want to enhance your performance and optimize your day, try Naked Harvest now.
I've also got a special code for my Rise and Conker podcast listeners. Just type in Rise and Conquer Podcasts out checkout to receive a sneaky discount that is Rise and Conquer Podcasts and the end is spelt out. It is not. They're simple. I'll also pop the links in the show notes if you want to check that out. But let's get back into the episode. And also just something to say on bold action, guys. Is for me, bold action and going after what I want and really
living in that alignment state. It doesn't always feel comfortable at the start. I know, I said alignment should feel like ease and flow and right, but when you're kind of like getting into it, it doesn't always feel comfortable. Most of the time, it's going to feel uncomfortable. And we all know the saying of you know you're out of your comfort zone is where the magic happens. So even if it does feel uncomfortable, I still want you
to go forward with it. And a huge thing for this too is realizing that going after what you want and taking that next step is you don't have to
share this with anyone. So I know a big thing for me is when I am being quite bold and you know, stepping out or doing something new, I often feel I don't want to say the word embarrassed, but like sometimes I won't even tell Tim what I'm doing because I just want to figure it out by myself and I don't want to have to explain myself to someone and I don't want to be discouraged or anything
like that. So I'm actually a huge person on like not telling everyone my goals and like kind of taking the little steps and doing things myself until I feel more comfortable and more kind of concrete within my decision. So if someone you know does put the idea down or discourages me, you know, I don't drop it, if
that makes sense. So it's just a little tip there. Also, to finish off this little solo PEP talk, I am just going to talk about my goals for twenty twenty one, so I guess and this might be a little bit random, but I love talking about, you know, my goals and
what I'm bringing into my life and whatnot. And these aren't all my goals because, like I just said, if I do actually have some like big, big goals this year, and I'm just like not ready to tell anyone, and that's fine, but like just going through my twenty twenty
one goals for me. In regards to business, I with Naked Harvest, we had a huge growth year last year, so we spent a lot of time like bringing out new products and it was very fast paced and I really kind of felt like I couldn't catch up and didn't have a lot of time for like anything. And so a huge goal for twenty twenty one with Naked
Harvest is really getting into like building team morale. Like we just got a new warehouse, which is very exciting, like you know, getting settled in the warehouse, setting it up so feels like very legit and everyone who works there really wants to come in. I want to start doing like monthly team get together, whether we're going out for drinks or doing a yoga session or something like that. And I really just want to focus on the foundation of the company, if that makes sense. Of course, we
want growth because you know, like any business does. But for me, I really want to tap into the culture of the team and especially like you know, our end hah gang, and really kind of explore that area of the business because I felt like I just did not have time last year and it is something I want to look at. So that's kind of like an interesting
goal for Naked Harvest. For me personally, this is like a bit of a boring goal, but I do want to like pay off our mortgage a bit more so, like paying off like more than you know, just your weekly payments. We have three mortgages, me and Tim, and so that's a lot of debt I'm sitting in, like good debt, but it's more like I've just never been too worried with debt, and especially because the interest rate is so low, I've never been too worried about it. Sorry,
it's just one a bit weird. But this year, I don't know, I was kind of doing my little like what do I want this year? And I would like to pay down our mortgage a bit more and not be having so much mortgage debt. So it's just one of my goals. What else? Oh, for me personally and Tim personally, we usually do this thing where we don't take holidays and then we go on like one big holiday and it's like three, you know, two to three weeks.
I don't want to do that this year because I feel like that's what really led to burn out the last couple of years. So me and Tim really want to make like a conscious effort to take more weekends off and smaller holidays. So we want to go like for three holidays throughout the year. But they're just like, you know, you take the Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and
then you're back. So it's not like this huge thing where I have to like prepare the team and you know whatnot and it's just like a week and a long week and get away, but actually planning them so it happens. That's a huge thing for us this year. That will be awesome. And also, oh of course I do have a bit of an announcement too. So another goal of mine is to relaunch the Rise and Conquer project.
I launched that twice last year, and I realized that was like one of my favorite things I did in twenty twenty and it just made my year so so much better and I really feel like I found my thing. And so basically, if you guys don't know, the Rise and Conker Project is my six week online course. It's a live course, so you I open enrollment, people en role and then it's closed and then we go through the six weeks together with a Facebook group and life
calls and stuff. It's very it's quite intensive and it's very like interactive. So that's the reason why I do have to like cap the group and only have a certain amount of people and stuff. But oh my god, it's just last year that like set my soul on fire, Like I just felt so passionate about helping other women really step into their power. Huge thing about the project is just basically helping women realize their potential and really step into their power and live their most authentic life.
Like I always say, like that really feels aligned or authentic to them. And also in that course, I, as you guys know, I'm a bit of a I feel weird saying this, but as you guys know, I'm a bit of a high achiever. So I'm a very like determined, get shit done person and throughout my life I very much have done that with everything, so starting a business, you know, if I want when we wanted to buy our dream house and you know, my new car, and
having different business relationships and whatnot. And so what I also do in the course is I really teach you my formula of before I do anything new. So this was like, you know what I did before I left my corporate job, before we start a Naked Harvest. This podcast literally anything. It can really be applied to anything. It's just you've got to have the want and desire. And it is a manifesting practice. But basically I teach you my formula because I've realized it is a little
bit different and it really works for me. And it's kind of like a mixture of like you know, manifesting and we wou sort of principles with very logical get shit done formula because that's that's who I am. So that's what the project is about, and I really am A decided to get into that and launch that a couple of times this year, and so I actually wasn't going to relaunch this till mid year because we did
have some stuff going on with Naked Harvest. At the start of the of the year, but that has actually been pushed back, and I've had so many people ask me about the project. So I have this little thing on my website where it says notify me where available, and that's like my course page, and so I kind of know how many people are interested in the course, and the number is huge, and so I do not
want to ignore it. And I know, you know, new Year, New Energy, there's going to be a whole bunch of women who are like, yes, I'm going to start that business, or you know, go after that promotion, or you know, really make sure I'm being intentional with my life and make sure I'm tracting the right people and abundance and all that sort of thing. I know, you guys are like five up and I'm right there with you. So
I actually have some exciting news. You guys are the first to know, and we are relaunching round three of the Rising Conkor Project. So enrollment will open the first of feb and then the course will start a week or two later. So I haven't got exact dates, but the date you need to know enrollment opens the first of feb. And just the reason for that too is
because the last rounds of the Rising Conker Project. Enrollment has sold out within twenty four hours, and that's just because I do need to cap it because it's very intensive and for me, this course is about getting you guys a transformation, not just getting you know, a huge amount of people in there. So if you are keen, just make sure you know you're keeping updated with my announcements and everything, and you know I've given you the date, so really mark first Efeb in your cow and be ready.
I'm so so excited to sort of facilitate this and do this in the new year with you guys. So yeah, that's a huge goal too, is doing that and really bringing the energy and making this like amazing experience for you. But I am going to wrap up this episode just a short and sweet one. It's probably not even short and sweet by the time I've finished, but just basically touching on bold action, the theme of this season. We have so many really amazing guest lined up and really
important topics to chat about. Like I said, there will be a link in the show notes if you want to download that ebook and also if you want to check out the course.
