Prada coffee cups & being “that” girl ☕️

for ordinary people who want to do extraordinary things. Hello guys, and welcome back to the potty. It is Georgie your host. Lawyer, tant entrepreneur, mom, wife, business owner, all the things. This is going to change every time, but we love it. Hello and welcome to a new episode.

Instagram bio. But basically it's just a free ebook and it's a seven day reset, So we're currently on day two when this episode goes live, but you can just

do it in your own time. Day one was all about getting honest of like where you currently are, where you feel like you need the life reset, and day two we're getting really clear on the aspects of where you need the life reset, and I've given you some journal prompts, some challenges, and if you are doing it with us, come join the Facebook group because everyone's having a good old chat and vibe in there. It's just

the Rise and Conquer podcast community. And yet you can download the ebook and actually do it anytime, so if you're listening to this episode at a later date, it should still be available. Just go to the link in the show notes. And it was just something that I wanted to give you guys, because as you know, I've

gone through a huge life transition with Ivy Girl. I'm a new mum and it's the middle of the year and i just feel like we've all lost a bit of motivation, you know, a bit of our spark, and so I just wanted to give you, guys something tangible that you can do that hopefully reignites your spark and makes you feel a bit bloody spash because you are.

My week has been good. If you guys follow me along on Instagram, you would know that Ivy girl is. Oh see, I feel so bad complaining because Ivy has been sleeping through the night twelve hours seven till like seven pm till seven am since she was twelve weeks old.

And I know that is a true blessing, So like, I don't like to complain too much, but recently, like probably the last three weeks, she's been doing this thing where she'll go to bed and then she'll wake up after one sleep cycle, so forty five minutes, and then it just takes her hours to get back to bed. So she's kind of going to bed at like nine pm, which I know it's not late. I don't mean to complain,

but it's just it's it's a lot. When I work all day and then I get home around two thirty three, Tim goes to Jim, you know, he needs a break after looking after Ivy all day. So I'm with Ivy all afternoon, which I love, adore.

And you finally get to bed at nine pm and you've just had like no time for yourself, which I know what that's parenthood.

a teer. So they live in a boat and they sail for half the year, so they're actually about to go off sailing for the year. So they just wanted to spend some time with Ivy. So they looked after Ivy last night and meantim went on a date night. We went to Etsu, my favorite Japanese restaurant on the Gold Coast. It's so fab I love raw food, so I love like wagou and kingfish and oysters and they do all that stuff and so that was yummy. I did have a glass of sham okay, I had two

glasses of champagne. Champagne is like you'll hear in this episode. I love like champagne. Sparkling water, like it's it's my vibe. And honestly, I woke up this morning with like not a hangover, but like I've got a headache, and I texted to your I'm like, do you have any Baroka? And it's just kind of sad to me that I'm to the point of my life where I have two glasses of champagne and I wake up with a headache. But that's fine, and also I'm kind of I'm not

mad at myself. But before having that champagne, I hadn't drunk in a couple months, and I was almost doing like the sober curious thing. But I was like, you know, I love champagne. I'll have a glass and look, it's just it wasn't worth it. So I don't know what's happened, guys, because before Ivy, I could drink everyone under the table. It was like a talent. And I just can't drink like I used to do, so I have to accept that. So apologies if I'm a little bit rusty in this episode.

But it's a goodie. So let's get into it. The romance of becoming. Let's romance the fuck out of our lives. End our mornings and our art. Let's say yes to the romance, but not the romance we were brought up to believe in the romance of ourselves, the romance of living, the romance of the way we move and the way we dress and the way we see ourselves, the romance of cafes and the romance of becoming, the romance of all the people we are yet to meet, and all the ways we are yet.

most downloaded episodes. But basically that content is really being pushed and honestly, like they're doing very mundane things, but it just looks fucking cool, Like it looks like they have their life together, like they're you know, a girl who and if you don't know what I'm talking about, So basically, she wakes up, she makes her coffee in this like really cute cup. You know, there's usually a bunch of flowers somewhere, She puts on cute activewear, meditates journals.

You feel like she's got her life together and you feel like she's a bit fab and let's be honest, like you want to be her, Like if you haven't got your life together, you watch one of those and you're like, oh my god, I need to get my life together. And it just looks like she's, yeah, really

loving life. She's honestly doing the most fundane things, but it just looks like she has a great life and then also the reals that I'm loving too, is like that you can do both where they're doing super you know, like hashtag health things like going a gym, having green juice coffee, and then they're also like eating pizza and having margueriteaters and dancing with their friends. Love those as well.

And basically, and this is going to depend on like what sort of content you're consuming, but I literally love this content because it's all about celebrating like the small moments in your life and like romanticizing your life. And like I said, they're like super mundane things, but they just look really cool, and I think this is something we should all be doing to It's almost like.

your life is. I'm going to give some examples of me, and I think for me, romanticizing your life is really about enjoying the process, not the end result. So I talk a lot about this thing of like how I love the work and how I love what I do, and I really got to a point in my life where I love the actual working for the goals, not actually the goal at the end. And I think a lot of people have it the other way, where they don't enjoy the becoming, they don't enjoy the process, but

they're like, you know, they're waiting for the goal. And so I'm such a big believer in let's actually enjoy working for the goal and enjoy that stage and then obviously enjoy the goal at the end as well, because of course, but how what I'm talking about, like a great example of my life is you know, before Ivy, if you have me on Instagram, me and Tim used to always do this thing where we would do Sunday beach coffee. So every single Sunday we would wake up.

We would never plan something on a Sunday morning because we knew it was our time together. It was a ritual and we used to wake up. We used to go to our favorite coffee shop, grab a coffee, go sit on the beach, and we would always talk about like big life issues. And even though I was such a busy person, I always knew like Sunday mornings were

for us. And we had this Sunday ritual. And if you actually look about like look at it, like you know, having a coffee on the beach, Yes, beautiful, but it's just like a very normal thing. But because we created such this like beautiful ritual around it, it felt so

special to us. And for instance, before Ivy, again, like I used to have this very slow morning routine most days where I would you know, get up and I would meditate and I would journal and I pull cards and it was like this whole big thing of getting into my day and it's like I would really relish in the small moments of that morning routine. Obviously I

don't do that now because I have a baby. But like an example now of romanticizing my life is every single Thursday, instead of rushing to work, actually I'm still rushing to work, let's be honest. I go to my favorite coffee shop. I grab an ice latte, two pieces of Ava and Toe and every Thursday. I guys, I love the Shameless podcast. I live for some celebrity gossip. I know that's kind of random, because like it's almost on those days where I'm like, I just can't learn

anything today, I just can't do self development. I need some like, yeah, I need some you know, celebrity gossip. And so a little tradition I now have because this is all I can kind of fit in is getting my coffee and AVO and putting on the Shameless podcast and driving to work again. You might like listen to that and just be like cool that that could be

me every day. But I've really romanticized that where it means something to me and it feels really good to me, and it almost like elevates me and I have like you know, fitted into my schedule and it really brings me joy. So I would say, like romanticizing your life is just knowing what brings you joy, knowing what lights you are, fitting it in in small aspects of your day. A tear it like, would you what would you say romanticizing your life is to you?

actually is. And everyone can do that pretty easily. You just have to close your eyes and like think about it kind of thing.

and it's something so simple. And that's honestly something I've been doing since having Ivy, because priestly it would be like going to the beach or like doing something a bit more advance, but now I've had to simplify it. But again, it is so fine, and I like have I guess swapped my mindset too, fine, so much joy in that moment. I think that's what a tear was saying, like fine, joy in the smaller moments and when you can be happy and grateful in those smaller moments, like

that's where the magic is. And also like another thing, like how I romanticize my life personally is you guys probably have seen on social media. Yeah, like the NHH warehouse has really been curated to be a place where I want to come to work. I hope, I hope my employees want to come to work, and we have created it, you know, like my office specifically, it's pink, it's got plants. It has been you know, curated a

certain way to make me feel good. And honestly, when I sit in there, like I feel like a boss. Like it's created that way, and I feel like a huge thing is making sure like your space you're in feels good. So you know, I'm really big of like cleaning up your room, Like I honestly do it once a week, let's be honest, But like on a Sunday,

I will kind of clean up the room. I will tie the tidy the house, reset it for the next week so I can have those feelings and not feel like I'm you know, having to clean up during the week because I just don't have the time. But it's a about creating the environment.

bare minimum so that people can function. And it's an office space, but you guys have gone above and beyond here and thanks to m yes, they got all the pretty things, but it makes such a big difference. And sometimes even though it's like a pretty thing, it makes a huge difference to what you output in that space.

Like if you spend a little bit of extra money on your bedroom or doing up your office at home, you're probably going to feel a lot nicer working in it, and you're going to be more productive and you're going to enjoy your work more and appreciate those smaller moments. It's almost as if by spending the money or spending the time creating the correct environment, you're allowing yourself to be able to sort of have that aesthetic, beautiful, romantic

feeling all the time in that environment. And if you don't place the priority on that, then your environment's just going to be normal and you're going to work normal.

And it's not about making how employees stay extra but it's about creating an environment, like a tea says, where you feel productive and you feel creative. And I I think also like noting on that it doesn't have to be about spending their money because there's so many places now like Kmart has the most beautiful, pretty things. Oh my god, and I can't walk in there anymore. I know, I just spend so much money they get me good.

And even like Amazon, and you know, for example, it could be so simple as like buying a cute glass from Amazon that you put your ice latte in. Oh my god, guys. So the other day story here. The other day, I treated myself and I bought myself a prider bag for Mother's Day.

what they sent me for Mother's Day. And then like I looked at him and he's like I literally just went and books and it's like it took him like hours because he had to like drive to pack Fair. It's so cute, I know, and he was like so upset and he's like, I bought you the matching high mask. And so anyway, we decided Saturday we would go take the pajamas back and then I would pick something. Obviously, pa pajamas are not at the level as a parata bag.

the front. I was like, I am, I'm like fucking devil wears Prata right now, Like I am, so I'm that girl. I am so posh like this is it was a vibe. It was a vibe and it was a free tumbler. But that's what I mean, like, even if it's something as small as a you know, a posh you know, I love the word posh. A posh you know, like glass and you put it next to your computer and you have a clean desk and you have a certain journal used to journal and you're not

just like doing it off random bits of paper. Another thing that I love doing that I would say romanticizes my life is sparkling water. So a tear can't have anything.

whole experience. And something else I do too is like I moisturize my whole body. That doesn't happen all the time now because of IVY, but like when I get a chance to moisturize my whole like whole body, that's fine. That's a romanticizing like, oh my god, I love myself so much, MANA moisturize my body?

I don't do that now. What I actually do is I wait for her playtime in her awake window, and I put down a mat with all her toys in my bedroom and then she can usually like occupy herself, and then I will go and have the shower and do the things, and she's just playing so I can see her. So that's all mama hack anyway. So I got off on a tangent there, but basically it's just relishing in the small moments. Like you, guys, I'm sure

you can understand what it is here. Also, if we're talking about romanticizing your life, it's also like we've gone over the aesthetically pleasing things that make us feel a certain sort of way. And guys, it's all about finding what suits you. So for example, a tears like you know, moisturizing her body, her whole body like is not the vibe it is for me, It isn't for her. But you have to find what works for you. Don't just

like copy what we're saying. You've got to really get into the crux of like what feels good for you, but also you know, getting into the inner sort of side of being that girl. It's it's the way you show up. So for example, if practices like meditation or journaling or just you know, being present in the moment makes you feel mindful, then later in the day in a situation, you don't react straight away and you can

kind of show up as the person you are. That is also part of it, because it's putting in you know, those practices that I would say are romanticizing your life and like making you feel a certain way that then help you show up in a certain way. And I'm sure we all have a vision of how we want to show up and who we want to be. Like for me, it is someone it's I want to be patient for ivy. I want to be kind to Tim.

I want to be productive for my team, And so the little practices I do in the mornings, like meditation or journaling or just being mindful of my car ride, maybe I turn off the podcast and I just actually be present in the moment. I know, those, you know,

contribute to how I then show up. And I think also, like, you know, if we're talking about that girl, you can just tell she respects herself, respects her time, She sets boundaries like she's got it, she's got it all going on in the self development par department.

put makeup on, and I like dressed. I wouldn't say I look that cute, but like, you know, I got dressed out of not like I'm not an active way, which I usually am, and I just put like a little bit more effort into my appearance because I know it makes me feel a certain way. Again, I know that's the patriarchy and that's a whole other story, but.

So also, this is like a little mindset hack something I think about and I feel like this is a little bit off topic, but something in regards to the mindset of like romanticizing your life is really this like little hack that I'll do. And I want you you guys to think back to a period of your life just you know, any day that's something really great happened. So you know, maybe you found out that you got your dream job, or you know, the job you were

playing for, or you got into the Uni degree. Maybe you found out you were pregnant, like that was one of the happiest days of my life. Or you've got the dream house. You know, you're moving to the place you want to move to, maybe you're moving in with your partner. Maybe you've won something like off an Instagram giveaway or something. So they think back to that day and something about that day is it started like any other ordinary day and then something extraordinary happened and it

gave you that feeling. And something that I'll do that really romanticizes my life is I'll go into the day thinking something amazing is going to happen today, and how like don't you think how different your day would be if you were going into it going something amazing is going to happen, Like my life is like a movie.

an ordinary day. No, guys, we are extraordinary exactly.

magical love love. So in conclusion, guys, you know you can You can buy aesthetically pleasing things that make you feel a certain way, a noe, powder of coffee. It can literally be that small and simple, or it could be making something a ritual. At the end of the episode, I will put in some snippets because we went into the end h office and we asked the and Hah girls, like how do they romanticize their lives? And they were all such small rituals, but they were so beautiful. So

you'll hear that at the end. So it doesn't have to be anything crazy and you don't actually have to go buy things. It's just about what is meaningful to you. Also, can I just touch on something Maybe it's not that you like, you know, pretty things or things to look in a certain way. Maybe it's just like you like your environment clean or whatever it is. You've got to find what kind of like tickles your fancy and go

off that. So that's obviously like some tangible stuff and that's amazing, but it wouldn't be an R and C episode if we didn't get into like the mindset and like the self development behind this. Because again, if we're doing all these things and we're buying the pretty things and we're doing the rituals, but they're actually not you know what lights us up. We haven't done the inner work and we haven't really you know, dived deep into why we might be feeling a certain way, why we

feel like we can't show up as that girl. Then these tangible things are not going to work. We need to do the inner work first, and then that is going to shine outwards. So the biggest thing with romanticizing your life is you can't just copy what I've said. You need to find what works for you, what actually feels good for you. But you also need to get into a place where you love yourself wholeheartily enough to believe you are worthy of these small moments of joy.

You're worthy of enjoying the process of enjoying every day, because I believe there would be so many people who don't romanticize their life because they just think they're not worthy of the beautiful life. They're not worthy enjoying, you know, those small moments or buying the cute stationary and those

things are not going to fix anything. If it's like it's just going to be basically a band aid if you haven't done the inner work and if you haven't kind of really dived deep into why you don't feel worthy of romanticizing your life. So I know that like knowing you're worthy is like that's a that's a huge thing. Like that's that's something you could work with a therapist with, like I know I did for years. I saw a psychologist and a lot of my issues and trauma was

about worthiness. So we're not going to like get deep into that. And that's obviously something we go deeper in in the project, my seven week self development and manifesting course. But I want you to just think about it, because if you haven't been romanticizing your life and you kind of just like you can't vibe what we're talking about, is this, you know, a worthiness issue, and like, ask yourself these questions, So, what do I like to do? Can you add more of that into your life? How

can you relish in the becoming? How can you bring main character energy to your every day?

And then also, you know, really think about this worthiness component of if you feel like you can't romanticize your life and you can't find joy in the small moments, like, let's kind of dive deeper into why you can't and why you don't feel worthy of that. And again, that's a whole other episode and we can't we can't get into that right now, guys. So to finish off this episode, I just want you, guys to sit, take a couple

of breaths. If you're driving, don't closure eyes. If you aren't driving, closure eyes, And I want you to repeat after me because this is kind of going to help you get into the feeling of what it should feel like to romanticize your life. So repeat after me. I am worthy of a beautiful life. I am worthy of love and happiness. I will chase the joy and find happiness in the small moments. I will romanticize my life.

I am meant for extraordinary things. Now, guys, you've got to for affirmations to work, you've got to sit with that feeling. You have to believe them. Because they are true. Start romanticizing the fuck out of your life, my lumps, because you bloody deserve it. All right, guys, Now, to finish off the episode, we thought it would be a bit of fun to ask the girls in the NH warehouse how they romanticize their lives. Hi, guys, I'm Brooke

and I'm the community manager here at Naked Harvest. I romanticize my life.

and support. If you have a spare moment, a follow or subscribe on whatever platform you listen to would be so amazing, And look, if you're feeling extra kind, a review on Apple Podcasts would be great.
