It's time to take BOLD action & back yourself!! Solo pep talk

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 back to the Rise and Conquered Podcast. Today. I have a solo episode you, and this is kind of just off the whim. I was feeling very inspired about what we're about to chat about, and so I quickly grabbed my mic and I haven't really got any

notes or anything. I usually have some dot points, but this is something that has come up because of a Facebook memory. And I absolutely love Facebook memories because it's like a time warp. I personally like I'm atrocious with time and I just kind of forget things and they pop up and you're like, oh, that was three years ago. Crazy. So something popped up and I screenshot at it, and then I was looking at my camera roll. So it wasn't this time last year. It was a couple of

months back, and I screenshot at it. I think I wanted to post on my Instagram, but I just didn't. But it was a photo of me getting admitted as lawyer. And so that was literally just over a year ago. I was getting admitted as a lawyer, and I was just thinking, it's been just over a year. And in that year, I quit my safe corporate job. I didn't pursue law obviously, and I went off. I did my

own thing. I hired my first employee, I released my intuitive eating ebook, I moved house, I spoken a couple of women events, and I also launched a company which I launched with my brother too. And it got me thinking that this was all because of a decision and a step I made that I didn't think was that

pivot all, but now looking back, it was. And I remember just being so scared to take this step, and now looking back, that was the step that had this domino effect of me at the moment who I really feel like I've kind of stepped into where I'm meant to be, who I'm meant to be, and what I'm meant to be doing, which is like this really weird feeling that I have kind of trying to be like

working through. But basically I'm gonna get into that with you, and I think this would be a really good podcast episode if you currently are sitting on something or you're scared to take a bold action or something like that. So yeah, bear with me before we get into the actual episode. I do want to thank today's sponsors for this episode, which is Naked Harvest, which is my company

that I co founded with my brother Cooper. And if you haven't been on Instagram or YouTube or anything like that, so me and my brother started a natural sports supplement company. And it feels so weird to say that it was. We've been working on it just under a year, so it's been a long time coming. And this started because, as you guys know, I'm really into my fitness and

health and I love supplement to compliment my lifestyle. Obviously, you have to be treating your body right and working out and eating well, and I just find compliments can really elevate that if you're already doing those big block things. And it's funny because, like right at the start when I was doing YouTube, you'll see I'm like making my own pre workout, and I've got like all these different

ingredients and I'm making my own. I get like the bear ingredients and make my own just because I couldn't find natural supplements that weren't filled with crap and like they didn't have the synthetic stimulants. I get anxiety very easily, so I just kind of have a sensitive nervous system, and because my life is already quite stressful, I don't need synthetic stimulants that kind of make my nervous system crash. So you can literally see me like making my own

pre workout. Also, previous supplements, I got really bad skin issues and all these things. Anyway, we created our first product is an all natural pre workout plus that burning blend. The flavor is sweet strawberry, and so basically it's a pre workout blend designed with a woman's body in mind. And the reason why we say that is because I personally found that any pre workout I tried, like, you know, me and Tim would be taking the same pre workout

and it would just be horrible. I'd either it would be too intense during the workout and I would feel like, you know, jittery, heart racing, or after the workout, I would get this really bad crash that sort of thing. So basically, what we worked really hard on is creating a formula that is all natural. And if you guys have tried other natural pre workouts before, you'll know a lot of them. You're kind of like, I don't know if this is doing anything because they are all natural.

So we really strive to create a formula we worked with food technicians of course that actually gave you that energy boost, but it wasn't going to have all the bad side effects of a normal pre workout. It was going to have that crash or anything like that. And this is like, obviously I'm a little bit biased, but this is the absolute best formula, like I just cannot explain to you. Like, also, it tastes great for a natural pre workout. That was something also we worked really

hard on. And so basically it's no artificial colors, flavors, sweetness, it's vegan friendly, it's free from gluten, dairy, refined sugars, it's all natural. It has no synthetic stimulants. I know a lot of pre workouts I used to take like you wouldn't be even able to pronounce the stimulants in them. They were not great. Yeah, so no hidden nasties, actually going to give you that energy boost, but without the

bad side effects. So, if you guys want to check out that, the website is Naked Harvest Supplements dot com. And I also want to give you guys a discount code where you can get fifteen percent off. And so all you have to do is put in Rise and Conquer at checkout and that gives you guys fifteen percent off. And that is just for my Rise and Conquer listeners. Obviously, I actually haven't given anyone a code anywhere, but you

know how much I absolutely adore my podcast community. I really appreciate like everyone who shows up every week and listens, and I really feel like we're like on the same level. And yeah, so just a little thank you. Check it out, let me know what you think. Also, you can go follow our Instagram account which is just Naked Harvest Supplements.

But yes, Okay, now let's get into the episode. So, like I said, this episode has really come about because I really feel like I'm at this point where if you told me like two years ago what I was doing right now, I wouldn't believe you at all. So two years ago, I definitely thought, oh, I'm going to be a family lawyer. I'm currently working in family law. You know, I've got this good job, I'm in this really good firm. This is what I'm supposed to be doing.

I just studied for six years, this is what I'm doing sort of thing. And so basically there just came this point where I knew I will firstly like, I was not happy. I knew I wasn't happy, and I just knew that if I didn't follow what my gut was telling me and what I was feeling, I knew I would regret it. And so it just got to this point where I got admitted, and that's something I

personally want to do. So I kind of had these feelings maybe six months before I got admitted, but I said to myself, I, you know, I've just studied six years, I've worked in this firm. Let's just get admitted. Get that certificate, finish this, and then I can decide if I am going to pursue law or if I'm going to do something else. And there was obviously also so

a lot of noise. As you can imagine, I had just studied for five years, I was working full time in a really good law firm, and then I was also doing my pot and yeah, so you can imagine that sort of discussion that I had, even with my parents, like with people and just I remember their faces and they would just were like, so, You're not going to do law. And I knew it sounded silly to everyone else. I knew it didn't look like the best option. But then I also knew inside, like I was like, this

is the step I have to take. And at that point I had no idea that I was going to do the ebook or Naked Harvest or anything like that. I just knew that the current path I was on was not my path. Not that it wasn't my path, because I think to that point was, but I just knew it had finished, and I knew I needed to sort of start the next thing and take this bold

action and take this step. And now looking back, it was that step that then had the domino effect of everything that has now gone on and happened in you know, just over a year. And it's funny because I'm really not that person who takes bold action, like looking back, like I'm a very safe human in regards of like even in high school when you're not really that mature, I remember thinking to myself, I will do law because I know it's a well respected career. I know albiata

provide for my family. I knew I could get the grades to get into that degree. Like it was a very well thought out decision, and it was safe for me personally, and I didn't even think once of what are my passions, like, what am I passionate about? What are my dreams? Like? What could I do in my life and feel really fulfilled? It was very much about the safe option and also what society viewed as I should do. And so I'm really like, I'm very much that safe human who stays in her lane and doesn't

really dream big. So now looking back, it's even crazy that I took that action, but oh my god, guys, like that was the step that really made me obviously onto this path and really step into my power. And I absolutely love that saying. I'm currently looking at it on my vision board, and I really didn't know what it kind of meant till now because the person I was just over a year a year ago is so different and obviously, like that person briefly, she wasn't fake,

she wasn't made up, she was still me. I'm just this like new, more authentic, elevated sort of person, like I feel more myself. And I know it's very normal for others to sort of feel like you should just follow suit, like you should not follow your dreams, not follow your passions, because you know, it's a silly idea, and society says we should go to university, get a safe job, but get a mortgage, and you know that's the whole process. And I just want to talk to

you guys, because I want you to ask yourself. Are you currently not following a dream or a passion because you are scared of what people think? Or you know, maybe you just spent a lot of time in a different sort of position like I did. I spent five years studying law and now I'm doing something completely different and the sort of logical side of my brain is like, wow,

what are you doing? You should do law, so I know others would feel the same, or maybe you're currently in a safe career where you feel comfortable, like you know exactly what you're doing every single day. You feel really comfortable and it's safe. So what I want you, guys to do, and this is something that I've done previously and something I often do actually when I kind of feel like I'm veering off my past. And I want you to get a notepad. Obviously you don't do

this if you're driving. Pause this, get a notepad or do this another time, but I want you to sit down and write your ideal, your dream perfect day that includes you know your career, what you're doing, and I want you to write exactly what you're doing. I want

you to write how you feel in that moment. And also I used to write a lot about my outside things in my life, so I would also write my morning routine, what that looked like, and then what I was doing during the day, and then what I was doing at night, and just kind of write your ideal

day if you were living out your dream. And then I want you to kind of think about what you're doing now and really think if you are on the right path, or if you could be taking old action in your life to follow that dream, to really step into your power and make your life yours. And I know that sounds weird, but I don't know. It's like I didn't realize for so long. But I'm in control of my own life. I get to decide. And something that I remember thinking is like, we already get one life.

And I know I don't want to be super deeper, but I remember thinking, we only get one life. Do I want to stay in this position where I know I'm not happy? Like when I was at my corporate job, like I looked around me and I didn't want the lives that the people had that I was around. I knew I wasn't happy, and I just knew I was supposed to be doing something else, Like intuitively, I just knew.

And so I want you to just sort of think about this, and I guess this might be a little pep talk you need if you want to take that bold action. And I just could not recommend it enough because looking back, and if I didn't take that bold action to completely do a one eighty push away what I was supposed to do and sort of follow my dreams for my passions, I would not be where I

am today. And it's not even about what I've done or anything like that, Like I know I say these sort of milestones or accomplishments, but it's more about how I feel. Like I said, I feel so authentically me and what I'm supposed to be doing, like it's just the best feeling. And so I want you to think about if you are currently planning it safe or if you can take this bold action and this first step,

and I'm giving you permission to do it. And so I'm telling you now you're worthy of the success you crave. You're worthy of your dream life, whatever it is, and you get to decide your future and you have control of your life. I don't know who needs to hear this, but it's just something that's really been brought up lately with the launch of Naked Harvest. And I want you guys to be stepping into your power, to be rising and conquering, obviously, and I know it can be really

hard sometimes I really get that. And something I like to think about is, for so long I very much was coasting life. And I want you to think about your life and think, am I just coasting life or am I really striving for what I want? Because personally, I thought to myself, I don't want to look back and just think, Wow, I was really coasting life. I really was not going after what I wanted. And something that I thought that will come up is I know

a lot of you. The thing holding you back with this is the sense of belief that you don't have in yourself and also because of the lack of support you may have around you. And so it's funny. I was watching Brene Brown's Netflix special and it's so good, guys, you have to go watch it. She's amazing, And this

quote really stuck out to me. And she was kind of explaining how she had just done her TED talk and she for people who don't know her, she is a researcher on vulnerability and shame and she did this TED talk about that, and she was saying she had these really horrible comments on like the TED talk basically went viral, and she had this really horrible comments and something that kind of got her out of that place where she was like freaking out about all these horrible

things that were saying about her. And so she's got this quote and it's if you're not in the arena getting your ass kicked, I'm not interested in your feedback. And I love that because at the time when I was making this decision, I did have a lot of people surrounding me that did not believe in my decision,

were quite negative with my choice. And I love this because basically the quote is saying that if these people who are giving you their opinions, who are showing lack of support, if they're not also like taking bold action and following their dreams, like their feedback and their opinion does not matter, And that's something I very much thought at the time. I just thought, I know you guys aren't happy. I know you guys are don't believe in this sort of thing, and that's okay. You just have

to make sure you filter out those opinions. And also, guys, you have to be your own support. You have to believe in yourself and basically be your own cheerleader. And also something that may be stopping you is the fear of failing or messing up or this not being the right choice or route. And of course, of course you've got to feel that way. Like anything that is a

big move always feels scary. And actually, there's another quote from Brene Brown, I literally love her guys, and it's there's no innovation and creativity without failure, period, which is so true. Like over this year, I feel like I've grown and learned so many lessons, and especially even stuff with Naked Harvest, Like this is my first business from

the ground up. Obviously I have my personal brand, which is my own business, but this is my first like consumer business, and it's something I always wanted to do because obviously as an influencer, I've had a lot of opportunities from brands, you know, to do a collaboration product and all that sort of thing. But for me, it is all about having my own choices and being able to run the company exactly how I'm like how obviously I say I, but me and Cooper want that was

a really big thing for me. So stuff like we get to pick the delivery boxes, we get to pick the filling, like we chose by a degradable filling, and just like little choices like that, that is a big deal for me. So that's the whole reason why I really wanted to build this from the ground up and really be involved because to me like that was one of my passions. And don't get me wrong, you can imagine like I'm completely new at this, so there has been so many mistakes, so many lessons, but like that

is the beauty of it. I personally, I love I love failing. I love making mistakes because you now know not how to do something and you find another way, and that's how you grow as a person. That's what creates you as a person, that's how you get better. So don't be afraid of failure at all. So I'm going to wrap this episode up now. I just really

wanted to encourage you. If you are currently sitting in this place where you haven't taken the bold action, it intuitive you really feel like you want to, but you're scared. I really wanted to encourage you to do that because looking back, the bold action I talk in that small step just dominoed onto who I am today. And I honestly believe we're all put on this earth for a purpose.
