Where can you drop the struggle and make things easier for yourself and stop wasting you know, brain capacity like I you know, like I used to do with my fitness on like silly things of like doing what everyone else is doing, And where can you start doing like what your soul wants to do. Welcome back to the Rise and Conquered Podcast. I'm your host, Georgie Stevenson, former lawyer turned entrepreneur, social media 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, which had 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 back to the Rise and Conquer Podcast. It is your host, Georgie Stevenson, and I've got a little solo PEP talk too, Wow, I've got a little solo pep talk for you. Ah after a great start, just a
quick one. And this is like you've probably kind of heard this before what I'm about to say if you've listened to all the episodes, but I think it's definitely something that we all need a reminder, and definitely if you haven't to go listen to the episode called drop the Struggle. I will link it in the show notes. But basically what made me think of this episode and today we're going to chat about how it's not necessarily about the effort or hard work you go about things
what matters most. And don't get me wrong, the effort and the hard work is needed, it's necessary, but I think a lot of people put more emphasis on that rather than the emphasis on the energy in which you
go about something. So stay with me here. And I was like questioning whether to even record this episode because I feel like sometimes me trying to explain these concepts, like, for example, I talk a lot about this in my Rise and Conker Project, which is my sixth week manifesting and self development course, but you get so many other resources, so it's going to make a lot of sense. So if you're kind of listening to this and it doesn't
make a lot of sense. Go listen to that other episode and kind of understand the concepts a bit more and then maybe come back. But the reason why this came up is because I am like a numbers person. I've always been very analytical and structured. You know, I did a law degree. I love black and white. But in saying that, a good couple of years ago, I really did a one eighty with how I run my business, and I don't necessarily run it from an analytical and
reports and numbers point of view. I very much run it off intuition, fem energy, what feels right for me, what I can get behind. And so sometimes in saying that, sometimes I will like obviously look at the reports and numbers and just you know, see how everything's blotting along. And today I was just looking on the computer because last week I had a preset sale for its first birthday,
so I was just checking out Shopify. I just had to you know, turn off the code various stuff like that, and I had to look at the report of you know, how many sales we did, and then I just pressed the button where it's like you know, year to date, so it's told me through Shopify how much I've made to date, and I was like, I was like, oh wow, okay, interesting,
and then it just got me thinking. And then I went to last year, so twenty twenty, and I had a look at the report of you know, how much I made in twenty twenty, and that was like a whole year. Where as I'm recording this episode, it is April, so what is that Jennuary? February, March April, so we're like four months in and for fucking crazy, but I like, this year, in four months had made the exact same figure.
And I'm talking like not the last three digits, but like the first three digits of what I made last year, which was multiple six figures. I have made this year in four months. And I was like really trying to like like I was kind of like gobsmacked and kind of like, first of all, it was kind of weird it was the same number. Like I think that's what really made me think this is a bloody sign from Angels Universe that I needed to take this lesson on board.
And I really, you know, was thinking about it, and I was like, you know, and what's four months. That's maybe like a quarter of three months, so just over a quarter of the year. I made the same as what I did in the whole last year. And so, you know, last year it was the pandemic, there was a lot of things happening, but still like I had,
you know, a great year last year. I put in a lot of effort and hard work, and even though it was a turbulent year and there's lots of changes, I really feel like, you know, I had to pivot and I was really in my purpose doing like aligned and doing good things and that sort of side of things.
But I was like, it's so funny because I think sometimes and this is like I'm saying me I very much, you know, think of earning money in the way of if you put in a certain amount of work, you get a certain amount of money, if that makes sense, And I think we're all kind of that way with everything of the more energy, you know, the more effort
sorry you put in, the better the outcome. And it's so crazy to me because I thought, wow, last year, like I worked hard and really you know, gave it my all, and then to think this year, I'm four months in and I've made the same amount of money, Like I could literally just not work for the rest of the year, and yeah, I've made the same amount of money, which I would never do because I bloody
love what I do. But it was like it was such a like almost brain fuck for me, because I think sometimes, like I said, I really get caught up in you know, the steps and the things and the you know, other companies are doing this and other influencers are doing this and that, but this is it was just such a good reminder as like a slap in the face of when you're in alignment and when you're tapping into your purpose and the things you love you love and really doing things in the way you want
to do them, like good stuff happens. And I think the real and why it was so crazy to me is because last year I really had these and you guys know, I'm a goal person. I'm very driven. I love numbers, goals, I love you know, that side of things. And I know that's not for everyone, but that's definitely me. I bloody gether from my dad, and so I like had, you know, financial goals last year, and I had goals to you know, really step it up. And I feel like I did. And it's funny because this year I
had no financial goals. I actually had more personal goals, more like energy goals, and so it's just like funny to me that I'm like, oh wow, it's not necessarily the effort and hard work you put in, it's the way you go about it. And I don't like you. Guys know, I'm a big person in I believe in manifestation and energy but also doing the steps and doing
the hard work. But when you do it in an aligned way and you do it with such purpose and passion, it will be tenfold and the results will be tenfold, rather than you just doing it in a way that you think you have to. So again, this is like all stuff I get into in my Rise and Conker project, which I will be opening more towards the middle of the year. But it's about like, for example, for a long time, let's just do it. A couple of examples of you know, stuff I have found in the project.
So I'll chat to girls and they're like, you know, I want to start this business, and I've been told you've got to jump on stories, and you've got to talk to the camera, and you've got to film reels and you've got to you know, do you know, hack the algorithm and do things in a certain way. And I'm like, yeah, that's definitely going to work. But if you are showing up on stories and it feels unauthentic, if you don't like it, if it doesn't feel right,
people are going to feel that through the screen. Exact same with video content or just any content. Like what we don't get is like, you know, everything is energy, Like we've all established that. I don't feel like that's like a mystical thing. Like everything is energy, and so the way that you go about things mean so much more. And that's even stuff like for example, if I have this like whole to do list and it's just like overwhelming and a lot, I look at it and I'm like,
what feels good? What is going to be the most kind of aligned thing that I can do, just one thing that is going to push me the furtherest rather than just like ticking things off a list. And that's like, for example, that person who didn't want to show up on video or whatnot, I said, like I said to her, I was like, you don't have to do that. There are so many accounts out there who have got you know, really big or businesses and they're not the face of
the brand and they do a different way. And I think that's even me. For example, for a long time I tried to do, you know, kind of what every other influencer was doing, and I was like, I don't like, I just can't like, I just I can't show up in that way. It feels unauthentic. And when and even I noticed this in my content when I start, you know, talking out things, I want to talk about doing things the way I want to do it and not doing it because you know other influencers are doing it. My
content does better, it feels better to me. And then like, you know, to put this in a perspective of like not work or money related. For example, like if you're looking for a partner, like we all know it's the whole. If you're really like attached to looking for a love partner and finding the perfect man or woman, but you're really attached to it, you're probably going to attract someone
who's not entirely right. But when you let go and you're having fun with your friends and you're working on yourself, and you're really working on self love and you know, like really in that high vibe and your energy is like, yes, I would love to meet someone, but also I'm so okay by myself and I'm working on, you know, myself, Like someone comes into your life so sporadically and so kind of like unknowingly, like we all know that it's such like a typical thing, and it is like something
recently also has happened to me where I like just it was literally one of the first times that I had surrendered and either attracted the thing, and I was like, hmm,
this is so interesting. So again, guys, like I want you to look at your life and see this could be to do with fitness, Like I had such a huge fitness transformation when I stopped forcing it, when I stopped the diets, when I stopped the bullshit of what I thought I had to do and what everyone else was doing, and I listened to my intuition, like you know, I'm a big advocate for intuitive eating and listening to
my body. And it's like so crazy because I remember my brain was so at capacity with thoughts of what should I eat next, how many carries is this I need to work out today? All these things and then what happened is when I learned intuitive eating, and it lack just I just didn't care about food as much. I wasn't as like so into and like controlling with what I was eating and how much I was working out.
And it's so crazy because it was the first time that I was able to maintain a healthy weight and you know, look really healthy and feel really good and it felt effortless. Okay, r n C fam, I'm going too quickly interrupt myself to ask you a couple of wellness questions. Do you get enough sleep? Do you wake up feeling rested? Do you fool to sleep easily? If you answered no to any of these, girlfriend, you need
Naked Harvest Supplements, Moon milk, hot chocolate. It's a functional blend of unique herbs, minerals, and vitamins that are going to help your body and mind unwind and recover. So basically, this product was born because in twenty nineteen, I suffered insomnia and really struggled to get to sleep because of a busy mind. It honestly got so bad that I started taking medical grades sleeping tablets, and I absolutely hate that because I would wake up feeling so groggy and
just not great. So Moon Milk is gluten free, dairy free, vegan, refined, sugar free, and all natural, so it's not going to make you feel that way. Also, don't be fooled by the word natural. We have hundreds of testimonials from the NH Gang who completely back this product, and honestly, I love reading the testimonials because people get so shocked by
how well this product works. The best part it is a creamy, hot chocolate flavor, so it is perfect for after dinner when you know you're watching Netflix, you're craving something sweet, but you're not actually hungry, and it's honestly just like a hug in the cup. We all know how important sleep is. By now we know that if we aren't getting good sleep, we're not going to be focused during the day. We know it affects our mood and often we will overeat because our body is looking
for energy. So if you want to start with a wellness product, you will not regret Moon Milk. It's honestly life changing and I'm not even being dramatic. Since getting amazing sleep, it just completely changes my whole entire day. And yeah, so many testimonials from our NH gang who agree and who are experiencing the same amazing results as so RNC fam. If it sounds like something you need,
I also have a sneaky discount for you. You can just enter Rise and Conquer Podcasts at checkout that is spelled completely out, no symbols, and I will put a link in the show notes and the code and the show notes. But enough about wellness, Let's get back into the show.
And this is what I'm getting at. So way in your life are you maybe kind of you're holding onto something, you're not going with the path of least resistant, or you're doing something because other people are doing it and you think you have to do that thing to get you know, the end result, and I'm here to go. No, that's actually ridiculous. There are so many ways to do things.
There is and this is actually a huge thing you guys know of how we run Naked Harvest and my personal business, like, we really do things in a way of, oh not what other companies are doing to launch you know, a product or even what their next product is. We do it in the way of obviously you know, we're tapping into our community and making sure they want it. But Also we're like, what feels good to us? What
can we get behind it? A great story what happened recently is and I'm trying to think when this episode will go live. Oh yeah, Friday, So a great story to go with. This is again like with Naked Harvest. So when we launched our gorgeous Greens, last launch was a couple of months ago. We did that retreat and Barron Bay with about ten of our like core influences, and we took them on this wellness retreat you know, revealed the Green, revealed the Greens put that on our socials.
They obviously put it on their socials, and that was like, you know, our quote unquote launch for that product. So we love doing launches. We love thinking outside of the box and just doing stuff a bit differently. And then so we have a new product launching when this episode goes live. It will be literally launching tomorrow. So I can't tell you what it is, but it's a brand new product. It's the NH gang has really been wanting it,
so we're finally launching it. Very excited. The flavors are bloody unreal and I don't like, I haven't been putting any hints on my socials because with the Corteous greens, because I was having greens powder, I was like putting it on my social so everyone kind of knew, but I haven't put any hints. But obviously I've been having
the product. But yes, very excited launching tomorrow. And what we're doing is oh what I So what we did is we did that influencer event and me and Meil were chatting about it and we were like, you know,
that was really cool for our influences. The next thing we really want to do is kind of get our community involved, so you know, our customers, our community, and so we were thinking it was going to be maybe something like a live in person event where we would have people who bought tickets, but they would had you know, they would have a goodie prize sorry, a goodie bag
with you know, the same amount of products. So essentially it's a free ticket but just you know, because of COVID and stuff, and we would do like an in person, live sweat event and launch the product. So obviously it would be like on the Gold Coast or in Brisbane or something like that. And we're really excited. We're full looking and we're actually about to like book a place and then and like we've been really lucky with COVID cases and we haven't been on lockdown since like mid
last year. So Brisbane actually went down on just a three day lockdown, and it was it's kind of like a bit of a reminder that like COVID still happening, even if we did it in person event, like, yeah, we could do it could be like safe, but it's
still there. Wouldn't be like we'd have to not too many people and all these certain things, and it was kind of like it just felt wrong, like me and me and Mele both agreed that it's like this feeling in your stomach where you're like, oh no, it just doesn't feel right, Like I just have a bad feeling about it. Let's not do that. So what we end up doing is a live virtual event. So what we're
doing is we're still doing a sweat event. It's going to be me and Cooper and an instructor from Hustle, which is the pilates class that I have been doing. We took the influences there. They have a studio in Barron Bay, and oh my god, the class was like so much fun and so yeah, we've teamed up with the Hustle studio on the Gold Coast, so she's gonna be taking us through a killer pilates workout. Me and
Cooper will be there. We will unveil the product. We've got some call prizes involved, and then sorry, guys, I'm really out of breath talking what is wrong with thing? Sometimes I just kind of forget to breathe because I get really excited. So unreveal the product and then unveil, sorry, the product, do a parties workout, and then we have like prizes, you can get a membership with Hustle, like all these cool things happening. And guys, if you're listening to this in real time, you may or may not
be able to still register for the event. But it's the first of May at ten a m Australian Eastern Standard time, so I'm sorry, I don't know what that is in like other time zones. But yeah, and then so we're like, no, we want to, like, you know, get our community involved. But this will be better because it's like you know, interstate. We can have people from
around the world do it. We can have a lot more of our community involved, which was always the aim, and that's why when we're doing like launches or projects, we need to have like a really clear why and then it's so much easier to get there. So yeah, so that's what we decided to do. And it's funny
because we literally launched it. I'm recording this on the weekend, and we launched it on Friday, told you guys about it, and we've already had over a thousand people sign up, which is crazy because we actually only had spots for five hundred people and we've had to obviously increase it, which is fine, but it's just funny because me and
mel were lack. It was very intuitive, like it's very kind of the least resistant way, and it's actually a lot easier, so much less to plan, and it actually costs us less because you know, in person event it's actually so expensive. Wait, not really, because we've got like a cash prize probably still, but it's just like, you know, it's worked out in this way that it has worked out better, and it's because we listened to our intuition.
We really kind of took this what feels good, what feels like the best way, and honestly, what's the path of least resistance. And I did a card pulling with you guys a couple of episodes ago, and it's crazy because I literally got the exact same card this morning, and again I want to read it out too, because it really compliments this episode. And it's funny because I literally pulled this after I had just realized like the whole income thing. So let me read it to you.
So it's called internal dance, and it says the lady featured on this card feels completely at one with nature. She is in tune with the rhythm of the earth and her changing cycles. She does not resist the forces of nature, but moves gracefully with the wind. Yet though her body sways with the wind, she is not swayed from her path. Her feet are firmly planted in the earth. She remains poised, dignified, and balanced. She has shown up in your reading today to help you loosen up and
feel the rhythm of life. You will benefit greatly if you allow yourself to be more flexible, be open to new ideas, except that it is natural for things to change. Do not resist life's natural flow. If the path that you on seems to be all uphill, then find another way. There are so many ways to get where you want to go, so find the way that offers you lease resistance. Life does not need to be as difficult as you
are making it. It is often easier to dance your way through life rather than to push your way through Try it. Ah Like reading that card, it just like really clarified some stuff that I'm going through personally at the moment, which I'll share with you guys maybe in
a couple of weeks. And so wanted to jump on here and say, guys, if there's something in your life, if things aren't going right, like I just had this thought in my head, Like for example, if you've just gone through a job and you didn't get it and you think your life is over, but maybe you've got this other job that, like, you know, you don't like as much. I'm such a big believer that everything happens for a reason, go with least resistant and just see
what happens. And it's like like this card says, like, sway with it. Knowing that your feet are planted firmly. You know you you're why, you're you know, tapped into
your intuition, you're aligned. But go with the changes. Let things happen in this organic way, and like I said, listen for the signs, listen for the things that make you feel good, especially in business, like if it doesn't necessarily make sense or not, everyone is doing it, like don't worry, do your own thing, stay in your own lane.
And this could be you know, not necessarily in life. Sorry, not necessarily in business, but this can be in your personal life, like if things are kind of just going wrong and you don't feel in alignment, it's like where can you start where? Sorry, can you drop the struggle and make things easier for yourself and stop wasting you know, brain capacity like I you know, like I used to do with my fitness on like silly things of like doing what everyone else is doing, And where can you
start doing like what your soul wants to do? Like I know that's deep, bloody deep for a fry a, but where can you like do what your soul wants to do? And it's always going to feel vulnerable and kind of weird at the start, but oh my god, I promise you. And that's like me looking at the numbers for this year compared to last year. Literally I could not tell you how I did that, Like this is not an episode where it's like how to make your last year's salary in one quarter of the year, Like, no,
you know, I don't do that. I actually couldn't tell you because I didn't plan. I didn't really have a goal. All this start of this year has been is I've been in really good alignment and also I've been really like really working on raising my energetic minimums, which is something I teach in the Rise and Conker project in I think week five, and tapping into my intuition and just going with the flow and like doing things that feels right and it's clearly clearly worked out at the moment.
And this is another thing, is it's kind of like who knows what the rest of the year could bring. Like it's not like I'm now thinking, oh, how much I can make in like for the rest of a year or anything like that, even though I've like saw these numbers or whatever, I'm not doing that because that's ego.
That is all ego. I'm still going, Okay, so next steps, Like even at the moment, like I should actually really be planning the next launch of my Rise and Conker project, Like I know it's going to be mid year, but I haven't set dates because I don't know, like I
haven't had the feeling or intuition to do that. So it's almost like I kind of I think it might come up in the next couple of weeks, and it's always been in the back of my mind, and I've been like, oh, you know, I really should like set some dates, chat to my podcast manager, start chatting to my graphic designer about assets in these different things, just because there is like a lot that goes into a launch.
But like intuitively, something stopping me. And even though I definitely think I'm going to do it, it's like, I don't know, something just doesn't feel right right now to plan it. So I'm not pushing it. I'm not going, oh, well, you know, I've been talking about it and I need to do it mid year. I'm just kind of waiting because I know the inspiray will come, I know the right day will come, and it will be for a
specific reason. So it's okay, does that make sense? And I know this can sound like super spiritual and woo woo, and don't get me wrong, it's not like a couple of years ago, I was like I'm gonna, you know, run my business more intuitively and spiritual, and I just did it one day. This is me slowly finding my sleep like my feet and really kind of tapping into it.
And it's like it's not something that happens overnight. But once you get into this groove and alignment, oh trust me when I say you don't want to go back it just yeah.
