Speaker 1 (00:00):
I just need you guys to hear me out because
I don't regret getting my nose off. I don't feel
like it made me feel more like myself. Hi, guys,
it is i Isy Armitage and welcome to hear me out.
I've got my own buck. What the hell are you home?
So I'm actually nervous, like I need a glass of wine.
(00:21):
But we're gonna get through it together, guys. Obviously, it's
such a different process to what I had before. You
guys may know me from Just for Girls. It was
a podcast I did with Sam for maybe two and
a half years, which was huge, and it was fun
and it was amazing and we learned so many things.
But I think just as time went on, you know,
(00:42):
things change. We're in different stages of our life, and
we both thought, you know, why not make our own shows.
So I guess that's what we're doing now. So this
is my show. Hear me out. Some people may say
I am a slightly opinionated person, and it's more just
about being honest and open and hearing everyone's stories, hearing
my stories. You guys are always so amazing on Just
(01:03):
for Girls, submitting and giving us all your juicy gossip,
and I just want to want everything to just be
open and honest on here and like a best friend chat.
And that's what we're doing today. And let's be real, guys,
I love the gossip. If you don't like gossip, you're lying.
So I just wanted to create a space where we
could all chat and yap and gossip and hang out together.
(01:25):
So that's what this is. I feel like I'm like
shaking like a leaf, but you guys know me, and
we'll get through it. I feel like first episode is
always going to be a bit intimidating, but it will
run what it's kind of going to be about. Obviously,
I'll have guests on ideally, you know, maybe every second episode,
so as you, guys, if you see someone that you
want me to have on, please my dms always open.
(01:48):
The dms on hear Me Out will always be open.
The Instagram is called to hear me Out with Izzy,
So get on there and submit everything. We'll be doing stories, dilemmas,
all your submissions, secrets. We're gonna do a bunch of
new different segments. It's gonna be fun and great and lighthearted. Obviously,
I'm not a political genius or I don't know all
(02:10):
the info in the world, so take everything I say
with a grain of salt. It's just a bit of fun, guys.
So where the name came from. Hear me out. In
my mind, it's like a hot take. So it's like
start of every episode, we're starting with a hear me out,
a hot take. And as you guys know, I've just
had a nose job. So I just need you guys
to hear me out because I don't regret getting my
(02:32):
nose job and don't feel like it made me feel
more like myself. I've always been someone that is open
and honest online about procedures or anything I get done.
I feel like that is so important in today's day
and age. I feel like it is so important to
be honest when you have young viewers and everyone about
things you're getting done. It's not a lie, but it's
(02:53):
also not promoting doing it. And I feel like I've
wanted it my whole life and I finally got it,
and it makes me feel more confident, more like myself.
You know. I just feel like my face now matches
my vibe and that's what I wanted. So it's not about,
you know, changing every nitpicking and you know, curating yourself
to that perfect person. But if it makes you feel
(03:13):
more like yourself and it makes you feel more confident,
I am all for little changes to yourself with the
nose job. There is a certain aspect of addressing it
online that I do worry that it comes across as promoting.
That's obviously not how I look at it and not
my aim at all. Surgery is a huge deal, and
it's something that I would never recommend doing unless it's
(03:36):
for anyone but yourself. So just bear that in mind
when I talk about it. I don't want young girls
to be like, oh my god, she's gotten a nose
job vibe. I want to go get a nose job.
If it's something that feels right for you at that
stage of your life and you're comfortable and you want
to get it and you're excited for it and it's
only for you, then absolutely, But I definitely don't want
(03:56):
it to come across like I'm like, guys, my nose
job and me, if you're really good, everyone go go,
because that's not the case, and it actually is more
I'd say it's more confronting than my boob job. I
have my boobs on as well, Slagh. But it's definitely
a different process because it's your face, and your face
(04:16):
is something you look at every single day, many times
a day. If you're a leo, I look at my
face the fucking time, but it now looks slightly different.
And I know a lot of people because I've been
talking about those jobs and searching it up so much
on my TikTok. It's pretty well like what my whole
for You page is, and the amount of people that
say the recovery process the hardest part about it was
(04:39):
the fact that they had like three weeks where they
just didn't feel like themselves because they didn't look like
themselves and your nose, it will only get better with time.
So I feel like, yes, I just got my cast
off two days ago and I am pretty happy with
how it looks, but it will change so much. But
when I wake up in the morning, I'm like, what
the fuck like? It is a very confronting situation because
(05:01):
your face looks different to what you've always known it
to look like. So it's not for the lighthearted or
a quick, little spur of the moment decision. I would
recommend anyone making so that's my hear me out guys.
So as you guys know, your hear me outs and
your opinions are very important to me, and we're gonna
be listening to a lot of those throughout the episodes,
and I'm going to be reacting to your biggest hot
(05:23):
takes hear me out. So if you have interesting or
controversial opinions on anything, just send them through because we're
going to be running through a lot of those every
episode and that will just be an open forum always.
I want you guys to feel like anytime you have
a story or a hear me out, send it on
through and we'll read it out in the pod. Let's
(05:44):
get into No's jobs. I've had so many questions. I've
posted a couple of videos, but you guys are so
curious on the ins and outs and the details on
that procedure. So we're gonna talk about that. How it
all went down. I have one of my nose down
my whole life. A lot of people were like why, Like,
my nose is fine, My nose was fine, Like there
was nothing particularly horrible about it. It was I had
(06:08):
a deviated septum. I couldn't breathe out of one side.
I also got my turbinites reduced in one side because
it's like a gland higher up in your nose and
it was blocking my whole other nostril. The word nostril sick.
So they straightened my septum and shrunk those so I
can breathe and they at the same time. While obviously
(06:29):
I'm in there, I had a favorite side and my
other side because of the septum pushed outwards and kind
of hooked over. I wanted that fixed, so they did
shave it down a little bit. But everything, the swelling
and everything will go down the tip well drop. But
the process of one of my nose. Everyone asked how
(06:50):
I picked the surgeon. I went to my GP and
they recommended someone for me, and it was actually someone
that one of my girlfriends had gotten their boobs done
with him. But he's more renowned for rhino plastis and
he was a bit of a one and done for me.
That was the same with my boobs. I met with them.
I think you just need to feel comfortable. I'd say
(07:10):
a good way to pick a surgeon for rhino plastis
if they're quite well versed in revision rhino plasties. It
means they're usually quite good at the basic ones too,
because if they can do the hard ones, they're really
good at the easy ones. So his name was Andrew Greensmith.
He was amazing. I would recommend him so highly. You know,
I think what kind of hooked me is if anyone
(07:31):
grew up in my like my age vibe Like do
you know Trishna and Krishna they're conjoined twins.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
No, the ones that speak at the same time.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
No, they were like babies when we were growing up
and they're like conjoined twins and they got separated when
we were younger. But I remember hearing about it. He
did like the first cut on them and was the
like E and T on that surgery. No way, Yes,
I'm like, he's good, So I went with him. He
was amazing. I also didn't realize until when I was
(08:01):
in my little hospital bed with my gown and cap on.
He came over to talk to me. He does I
think it's an ultrasonic rhinoplasty or something like that, And
instead of using like hammer and chiesel vibes or they
like break your nose, it's like a machine that vibrates
high frequencies and that's the machine you used to shave
the bone down, which I think is why I ended
(08:21):
up with so little bruising and so little swelling is
because it was a lot less traumatic to my face
because of this new technology. So I'd say, if you
can find someone that operates using that is a good time.
I would obviously recommend going to a doctor first, a
GP and talking to them about the procedure. They know
people that are highly regarded, They can recommend it. They
(08:42):
can also be like babe, talk you off the ledge sometimes.
But it is now actually in new laws essential to
get a referral from a GP before you do meet
with a surgeon, so for a rhinoplasty, so just FYI
it's something you're looking into, you do need to go
to a doctor first. But I think it was a
helpful part of process for me to be able to
talk it out with someone versus just me being like, fuck, yeah,
(09:04):
I want to get my nose done. Let's go look
at a before and after. But so I met with
the doctor and there was like they created this three
D scan of my face. I didn't really go in
with a lot of inspo because what's so important to
know is you might want to Barbie little button nose,
but that might not look best on your face. And
I think I knew that those cute little noses like
(09:24):
a Madison ber Nos or a Sydney kimberly Nos, like
that's not going to look good on my face because
I've got like quite prominent I've got like quite a
round face. Anyway, I have a teeny little nose in
the middle. It wouldn't look good like Sam's nose is
the best nose ever. If that went on my face,
I would look stupid, you know. So I kind of
more just told him what I didn't like about my
nose and things I liked about other people's noses, and
(09:47):
he like used the computer program to kind of adjust
my nose and show me a before and after, and
it was so minimal in the photos. But I didn't
ever want a huge change. And I think once all
the swelling and everything goes down, people, oh, I don't
see much of a difference. I didn't want much of
a difference. I just wanted my little hook to be
not a hook anymore. So anyway, everything's good. I found
(10:09):
out I liked him, I was comfortable with him. And
then I booked in the surgery and it was like,
people ask how long you have to wait? I think
mine was maybe three months. So my I would always
recommend having a family member or someone there to look
after you. My mum and sister were both away and
I lived with my sister. And the reason I say
my mum is because last time, when I got my
(10:29):
boobs done, I moved in with my mum. But boobs
is different because I couldn't lift my arm, so I
couldn't even really get into bed on my own. I
couldn't fluff my feelings, I couldn't cook, I couldn't do anything.
I couldn't even brush my hair, so I needed to
live with mom. I lived with Mum for two weeks.
This time, my best friend legs older sister in Nushka.
She was the one that drove me to and from
(10:49):
the hospital. She basically just made me lunch like the
day after and I froze it. And then from then
on I really didn't have any help and I didn't
need it, like she was obviously great and was offering
me help. But you can do everything normally with your nose,
like I wouldn't worry. I feel like everyone scares you online.
I was a normal, functioning human being pretty well straight away.
(11:11):
So I get to the hospital. The shit is fart
about it for me is that you can't drink any water.
My appointment was in the afternoon at like three, so
I had to fast before from twelve from midnight the
night before, so I just slept in and then when
I woke up, I'm like, I need fucking water. But
you can't drink water like you think. It doesn't make
a bet, it's not gonna be a big deal, but
(11:31):
it's about like when you're under you can't it could
like run back up your throat and like you could
toke on it or something. So basically, don't drink or
eat if they tell you not to. I got to
the hospital. They put me in a room and then
I had about an hour. They changed me into my
little gown, my compression socks, and my cap and then
they wheeled me through the hospital, which was a humiliation
(11:55):
ritually if I could ever, Like people were just walking
through the hospital and I'm lying in bed being wheeled
with a fucking shower cap on. It was hell. And
then they took me into a room and it was
actually so busy. There were all these different bays of
people lying there who were obviously like prepping for surgery.
And I was like, I like toe to toe in
these beds, like staring right at this old man who
(12:15):
was like trying to talk to me, and it was
so fucking awkward. And I looked at the chick behind me,
and I was like, can you move me ever so
slightly because this is so awkward. She was like a
young girl my age, and she was really nice, and
she just like moved me around, wheeled me into a bay.
You obviously don't have your phone, So I was twiddling
my thumbs for like forty minutes. And then the anesthesiologist, anethetist,
(12:35):
someone needs to confirm that for me, because I don't
know the best way. I don't know how to what
that's called. They came and spoke to me. Then the
surgeon came and spoke to me, and then they injected
me with something to calm me down. I get really,
really sick on anesthesia, so I had to preface that.
They gave me anti nausea meds and everything. That's honestly
(12:56):
the worst part of the whole surgery for me is
how sick I feel when I wake up, and yeah,
this time was no fucking different. It was hell on
a stick. So they wheeled me into the operating theater
and this time I actually was like, oh, wake when
they put me in the theater, and I was like
talking to all the people around me, telling them about
my fun little experience in America with the police and
the guns and all that fun stuff. They're like, who
(13:19):
is this fish? Shut the fuck up. They put the
anesthesia over my mouth and knocked me out, and then
it's so weird. I just like wake up a couple
like seconds later, and I've got a new nose. But
I remember how I felt after my boobs and I
was so sick and I needed food like immediately. So
when I woke up and I kind of gained my
(13:40):
mind again, I was like, I need food. I need sandwiches.
I need those homdwiches, sandwiches that they have at hospitals,
like I need cubs now. And the lady's like, oh,
we'll get your food when you get back to your room,
and I'm like, when will that be? She goes about
an hour an hour that will be the longest fucking
hour of my life, and it was. She gave me
a lie. I started crying Jamian icey bowl, a lemonade
(14:02):
icey bowl, and I was sitting there with my bolster
on and my cast on, crying while I was looking
a little lemonade icy pole. And finally she brought me
back to my room and I was still feeling so sick,
and then I ate little halm and trees sandwiches, passed
the fuck out, and then when I woke up, I
just read Zodiac Academy until five am, and then I
(14:25):
woke up the next time, I went home, and yeah,
that was honestly. Being in the hospital and after waiting
for the anesthesia to wear off was the worst part
of the process for me. Pain levels pretty fucking low.
Like I know, it seems really scary, but I wasn't
in any pain pretty well the whole time, so it
was good. I just had to clean it rest a lot.
(14:46):
Sleeping was the hardest thing for me, because you have
to sleep relatively upright for the first couple of days,
and they don't recommend taking any sleeping meds because you're
adjusting to breathing out of your mouth, and I know
that's something that I struggled with like i'd wake myself up.
I was realizing that, like I would just close my
mouth and try and breathe out of my nose, and
there's no airflow there, so you're basically dying. But yeah,
(15:08):
sleeping was the shit as far and the anesthesia. Other
than that, I think I had a pretty smooth recovery.
I didn't really bruise, I didn't really swell. There are
probably people looking at me that like had their eyes
swollen shut going fuck you, super bitch. But I was
really lucky so cast came off. I had mine on
for fifteen days, which is quite long. A lot of
people get those off after one week, but I actually,
(15:31):
in the long run, I think I was glad because
that meant the swelling was able to subside quite a lot,
so it wasn't such a like, oh my god, my
nose is so fat and ugly. When I took the
cast off, it was like kind of calmed down a
bit by then anyway, And yeah, it's an adjustment. It's
crooked to one side, which is actually the other side
that it was crooked too prior to the surgery, which
(15:52):
is really fun. I have to do little nose exercises
and like push my tip over. But yeah, I think
it's just a waiting game now to get the spelling done.
Everything but prices. A lot of you asked on my
You always ask her my TikTok about prices. I just
wasn't really comfortable putting it in. I don't know why.
I feel like money is always just such a weird thing.
(16:13):
I paid twenty two grand, but because I had a
septoplasty and the terminite reduction that is covered under Medicare,
so I will be getting money back, which takes a
couple of weeks to come in, so right now, I'm
not sure exactly how much out of pocket I will
be at the end of it. I'll let you know
once that money comes in. But yeah, it's it's expensive
because he's renowned and he's great, and I think when
(16:36):
it comes to plastic surgery, honestly, you'd rather just spend
the money because it's your face and it's your body,
and you'd rather it be done well. But so far,
so good, Happy days. I'll update you of anything changes.
I just can't wait for my spelling to subside and
my notes will looks snatched and hot, So yeah, slay
all right, guys, I opened up a question box on
(16:58):
my story. I asked you guys to ask me some
questions just because I feel like this episode is also
about getting it reacquainted with me or if I have
new listeners or anything like that. So I just got
you guys to ask me some questions. I told you
it was for a video, but it's for my secret podcast,
so let's get into some of those. So, guys, we
have Blakey, my producer. You guys, if you listen to
(17:20):
Just for Girls, you will know him. He's gonna just
ask me some of the questions. Oh, hi girl, congrats
a thank you, welcome to hear me out.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
I'm going to jump straight into her, all right, how
do I achieve the IDGAF is the effect?
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Oh? I feel like it's a fake it till you
make it kind of thing, Guys, If I'm being honest,
I definitely I'm sweet that you think that I did
have that kind of attitude. But there's so much like
I'm such an anxious person, and I feel like it's
really challenging to fully have that kind of attitude. I
just think what will be will be. I have the
people around me that love me and know me, and
(17:55):
I'm just trying to enjoy my young, twenty four year
old life, and why should I let anyone get in
the way of that. I just feel like you need
to just see what makes you happy and fuck anyone
that says anything different. It's just a bit of a
Like this year, I actually said that this year is
about myself and putting myself first, and I feel like
it has totally changed my outlook on everything. If I
don't want to do something, I'm not fucking doing it.
(18:18):
So it's like, Oh, I have a prior commitment, I'm
meant to go to dinner. Oh but I'm tired. Oh
I'm going to cancel. And it might be rude, it
might be, but I'm like, I'm putting myself first this
year and doing things that make me happy and make
me feel fulfilled. And I feel like it maybe has
really helped me have that IDGAF boss vibe. So that's
(18:38):
what you need to do. Just prioritize yourself.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
How did you get into social media slush influencing?
Speaker 1 (18:44):
It was never even something I considered. I'm so glad
that my life has panned out the way it has,
but I think I was just posting on TikTok for fun.
This was twenty twenty maybe late twenty twenty two. I
think it was November or December. I posted maybe four
of five little videos of my friends, and then I
had one video I was in Gold Coast with my friend.
(19:05):
It was a transition video of me fake vomiting into
a toilet and coming up with my makeup all did
and it got like one point eight million views, and
I was like, whoa, Like when you get that viral video, like,
I'm sure there's some of you around that have had
like a couple of those videos that do really well.
It's like, oh my god, this is the best tay ever.
But my manager, Claudia, i'd known her growing up through
(19:28):
Actually the girl looked after me when I got my
nose done Anushka. They were good friends, and so she
reached out through and was like, hey, I've been looking
at your social media. I then had a couple videos
that got maybe thirty thousand views, and she was like,
I know you. I feel like you'd be great in
this industry. Would it be something you would consider coming
in to have a meeting with me? And I actually,
funnily enough, had had a really really big night. The
(19:49):
night before that meeting was going to take place, and
I had a bit of a meltdown about it. I
was like, I don't want to I'm just enjoying social
media right now. I don't want to make it serious.
I don't want to make it work. I didn't want
things to change, not that I was really posting much
at all, but I just didn't really know I guess
how the industry ran, or know if I'd be good
(20:10):
for it, And with obviously the lingering anxiety, I was
concerned that it would not be the right fit for me.
And Mum was like, you got nothing to lose by
just going in and meeting with her. I met with Claudia,
my manager now and through the owner of One day Dream,
and they just made me feel so relaxed and settled
and were like, you really could be good at this,
(20:32):
like your personality shines through and why not just give
it a go. And I did and never looked back since.
Now I've been doing social media full time for I
think two years, and I couldn't be happier. Like I'm
very grateful and very very lucky that I have so
many beautiful people that love watching me and listening to
me and can allow me to do that full time.
(20:53):
So thank you.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
And the age old question. Do you find influencing to
be hard?
Speaker 1 (20:58):
No, it's demanding mentally, but I would never compare it
to a full time nine to five job in any
aspect because even if I would have think, like when
I worked full time at the call center, I did
that for like two years. That was harder. It was
still anxiety inducing. You still have to deal with lots
(21:21):
of personalities, but you're going into an office and working
full time and that was really challenging. And social media. Yeah,
it's not everything that it seems. It's not all sunshine
and rainbows all the time, but it is. There are
so many incredible benefits that I get out of it
as well, And I'm choosing to put myself in this
position and I'm grateful to be doing it and I
(21:42):
love that I'm doing it. But from a demanding aspect
of work, no, it's not hard. It's complicated and it
can be challenging, but it's not a hard job if
we're talking in the scheme of jobs.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
No, you mentioned the call center. Yeah, what were you
doing before influencing and what did you want to be.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Funnily enough, I always wanted to be a behavioral analysis
because I loved criminal minds and that was like, and
I love true crime, Like if you know me at all,
I listened to true I've listened to True Crime to
go to bed every single night for about four years now.
And I think, now it's a bit of a it's
a bit of an OCD sort of tick thing. I
can't I don't feel like I could sleep without it,
(22:25):
so I have to. But I wanted to do that.
And then weirdly, weirdly enough, I had a I remember
in you eight we were usd to like sit down
and write what we viewed our life to be like
in five ten years. And I wanted to be I
wanted to be glam. I wanted to be hot, I
wanted to have I didn't see myself doing an office job,
(22:45):
you know. So and that was so confused at that
point because I was like, all I've ever wanted to
do is do something in crime or be a detective,
or that is what I wanted to do my whole life.
So then to sit down and actually write though what
I've view you myself doing or how I viewed myself
living in ten years, and it was totally opposite to that.
(23:06):
I was a bit lost, and I think, honestly enough,
that moment was when I was like, hang on, I
actually don't know what I want to do anymore. Therefore,
I never went to UNI until I was like, I'll
figure it out. It will come to me. And because
I hated school so much, so I was like, I
didn't want to study and change out of it and
feel like I'd wasted those six months and a course
that I ended up moving out of. So I was like,
(23:27):
I'll wait until it comes to me. I'm sure it will.
It never did, not that that's comforting. I'm sure it
would have. But then I got, obviously the call from Claudia,
and I started doing what I'm doing now, which funnily enough,
I think lines up pretty well to what I envisioned
myself wanting to do when I was in year eight,
So I'm very grateful. But I worked at macas, I
was a cheerleading coach. I worked at a juice bar.
(23:49):
My biggest longest job was that nine to five call
center fucking shit show. So call centers don't recommend.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Well good timing because also been tell us about your
cheer history. I remember how good you were. I haven't
heard enough film.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Yes, I'm so excited. Really, so, I started cheerleading when
I was in year five. Not to tear my own horn,
I was pretty fucking good. I was in for anyone
that like, this will only be relevant to people that
care about cheerleading at all, but I was in level five.
I was the point flyer, baby. I was on those
(24:25):
people that got thrown up in the air. I was
short as fuck at that point. I think I was
like four n four foot nine at that point. So,
uh yeah. I was also a tumbler because I've got
my strong legs. We love strong legs on hear me out,
So don't hate you strong legs. I used to hate them,
but now I'm glad I have them. And so I
was a tumbler and a flyer. And we actually traveled
(24:45):
to compete in the American Nationals and CAA twice. So
there's about sixty thousand people watching on those stages. So
that was the scariest moment of my life to date.
I reckon was performing there, but so much fun to
be in Dallas with like a team of girls at
such a young age. But I ended up I injured
myself again and again and I just lost the love
(25:07):
for it, and that's why I ended up quitting. But
you know, it was such a fun part of my life.
It literally consumed my world. I didn't watch TV. I
watched cheerleading videos on YouTube. That was what I did
for like six years. But yeah, if cheerleading was such
a fun team sport. I had so many of the
older girls that were like sisters to me. So if
you ever think do I want to do it? Why not?
It's really fun.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
So onto dating, Oh, at first, boyfriends over romanticized or
not worth the hype.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
I love having a boyfriend, Honestly, I think over romanticize absolutely,
and nine times out of ten they will end up
breaking your fucking little heart. But I feel like you
grow and learn something from every single relationship, So I
don't regret any of my relationships. I definitely think, don't
worry about it. If you're not in a relationship or
you don't have a boyfriend, you're not missing out on anything,
(25:58):
do you know what I mean? Like you you will
learn eventually, you will find someone eventually. There's no point
getting into a relationship for the sake of it, just
because you feel like you're missing out. You're definitely not.
But you know, sometimes it's fun to be think you're
in love at a young little age, you know.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
And if your life was a movie, who would the
viewers want you to be with?
Speaker 1 (26:19):
A nice fucking man that's not gonna cheat on me
would be nice. I would like to know who, could
you guys see me dating celebrities like I slided into.
I want to know, like, tell me who I should date.
You already know it, because I'm gonna then manifest it
and make it happen and then I'll get back to
you guys.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Okay, so maybe we don't say it.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Out we don't say it out loud. Tell me who
you think i'd be really good with, and I'll fucking
make it happen. Thanks onto the surgery chat. Yeah, which
recovery was worse? Nose or breasts? Boobs? Breasts such a
formal word. I don't know what to say. Boobs was
worse because you had such more limited movement. You couldn't.
(27:01):
Mum literally had to like come, I to be like,
hey mom, I'm ready to get out of bed, and
she had to like help me push myself up because
you can't put weight on you know, how you'd like
push yourself up out of bed. You can't do that.
So it was just a lot more limiting and your muscle.
It was definitely a lot more painfu it's a lot
more life altering.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Yeah, completely, okay, girl, Yeah, best ways to stop worrying
about what people say about you.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
The people that like you and the people whose opinions
that you care about will not make you feel that
way and will not talk about you like that. So
it's more just like, why worry about the opinions of
people that either don't actually like you, don't have your
best interests at heart, or don't know you. You know,
it's irrelevant frankly, the people opinions of people that like you,
(27:45):
don't know or don't like It's like, why would you
let them affect how you feel? And you know, the
opinions of your family and your friends and the people
you love like they're the opinions you need to listen to.
And everyone else it's like, not everyone's gonna like everyone,
but you don't need to tailor make yourself to be
likable to everyone in the whole world. So it's okay
to have negative opinions about you sometimes, but as long
(28:07):
as you don't dwell on them and just try and
focus on the positives, because nine times out of ten
there is so many more amazing comments, and I feel
like we tend to dwell on the negative ones. So
my thought process is just laugh and move on.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Yeah, and I think these are parallel to each other.
But how do you also deal with speculation and rumors
about yourself?
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Sometimes it can be frustrating, but I find that my
best way to go about it online is to not
say anything. I feel like feeding into it makes it worse.
Getting angry makes it worse. Everything dies down eventually. I
think I'm quite lucky that I haven't had too much
drama online for now. Hopefully that's how it continues. But
I find I just tend to try not to pay
(28:49):
it too much mind, and there is that's easier said
than done. When I have been lucky not to have
a lot of drama coming to me online, I can
imagine how much more challenging that would be if it
were in full force in your comments section at all times.
But no one's out here saying you're not allowed to
delete comments you're not a lot of band words. Whatever
keeps your peace is what I think you should go with.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
And to finish what's next for missus?
Speaker 1 (29:13):
He what's next? Fuck? Guys, I don't know what do
you want to see for me next? I think I
just want to put a lot of effort into this.
I want this to be a safe, comfortable, happy place
for you, guys. I want it to be a good
place for me. I'm really excited to be starting something
on my own. I think I can be quite self
(29:34):
deprecating and when it comes to the business side of things,
because I can be lazy, and I can be unorganized,
and sometimes I fear or worry like that I can't
do these things. So to be able to start something
on my own and curate it and hopefully have it
be successful, that is what I'm going to be focusing
on now. Because I also just want to prove to
(29:55):
myself that I can that I can have like a
successful business and podcasts and do something on my own.
So it's about proving it to myself. So that's what
I'm focusing on. So my dms and the podcast ms
and everything is always open. Like I said, we're gonna
call them hear me Out from here on out. But
basically it's like a hot take and an interesting or
(30:15):
controversial opinion. I want to hear them from you guys
at all times because we're gonna be running through a
couple every single episode and then follow along on the
stories on hear Me Out with Izzy, which is the
Instagram handle of this podcast, and we'll be asking for submissions,
and I just want to hear everything from you guys,
because I feel like this podcast isn't gonna be what
(30:36):
I want it to be without the input of all
of you guys as well, because you guys make it
what it is and hopefully we can grow it together.
There'll be links and everything in all the show notes
for this episode, and in the bio. We're gonna try
and create a sort of website where you can go
to submit different types of submissions through a link in
the bio of hear Me Out with Izzy, just so
if something ever pops up, even if it's not something
(30:58):
I've spoken about that episode, you can just chuck it
in there and we can look at it for future episodes.
But thanks for hearing me talk guys. This is so exciting,
But I love you all, and I'm so excited for
what the future will bring. Next week we will have
a guest on, so stay tuned on the stories for
what sort of submissions we're looking for for next week.
But I love you all and I can't wait to
(31:20):
talk to you next week. Bye.
I just need you guys to hear me out because
I don't regret getting my nose off. I don't feel
like it made me feel more like myself. Hi, guys,
it is i Isy Armitage and welcome to hear me out.
I've got my own buck. What the hell are you home?
So I'm actually nervous, like I need a glass of wine.
(00:21):
But we're gonna get through it together, guys. Obviously, it's
such a different process to what I had before. You
guys may know me from Just for Girls. It was
a podcast I did with Sam for maybe two and
a half years, which was huge, and it was fun
and it was amazing and we learned so many things.
But I think just as time went on, you know,
(00:42):
things change. We're in different stages of our life, and
we both thought, you know, why not make our own shows.
So I guess that's what we're doing now. So this
is my show. Hear me out. Some people may say
I am a slightly opinionated person, and it's more just
about being honest and open and hearing everyone's stories, hearing
my stories. You guys are always so amazing on Just
(01:03):
for Girls, submitting and giving us all your juicy gossip,
and I just want to want everything to just be
open and honest on here and like a best friend chat.
And that's what we're doing today. And let's be real, guys,
I love the gossip. If you don't like gossip, you're lying.
So I just wanted to create a space where we
could all chat and yap and gossip and hang out together.
(01:25):
So that's what this is. I feel like I'm like
shaking like a leaf, but you guys know me, and
we'll get through it. I feel like first episode is
always going to be a bit intimidating, but it will
run what it's kind of going to be about. Obviously,
I'll have guests on ideally, you know, maybe every second episode,
so as you, guys, if you see someone that you
want me to have on, please my dms always open.
(01:48):
The dms on hear Me Out will always be open.
The Instagram is called to hear me Out with Izzy,
So get on there and submit everything. We'll be doing stories, dilemmas,
all your submissions, secrets. We're gonna do a bunch of
new different segments. It's gonna be fun and great and lighthearted. Obviously,
I'm not a political genius or I don't know all
(02:10):
the info in the world, so take everything I say
with a grain of salt. It's just a bit of fun, guys.
So where the name came from. Hear me out. In
my mind, it's like a hot take. So it's like
start of every episode, we're starting with a hear me out,
a hot take. And as you guys know, I've just
had a nose job. So I just need you guys
to hear me out because I don't regret getting my
(02:32):
nose job and don't feel like it made me feel
more like myself. I've always been someone that is open
and honest online about procedures or anything I get done.
I feel like that is so important in today's day
and age. I feel like it is so important to
be honest when you have young viewers and everyone about
things you're getting done. It's not a lie, but it's
(02:53):
also not promoting doing it. And I feel like I've
wanted it my whole life and I finally got it,
and it makes me feel more confident, more like myself.
You know. I just feel like my face now matches
my vibe and that's what I wanted. So it's not about,
you know, changing every nitpicking and you know, curating yourself
to that perfect person. But if it makes you feel
(03:13):
more like yourself and it makes you feel more confident,
I am all for little changes to yourself with the
nose job. There is a certain aspect of addressing it
online that I do worry that it comes across as promoting.
That's obviously not how I look at it and not
my aim at all. Surgery is a huge deal, and
it's something that I would never recommend doing unless it's
(03:36):
for anyone but yourself. So just bear that in mind
when I talk about it. I don't want young girls
to be like, oh my god, she's gotten a nose
job vibe. I want to go get a nose job.
If it's something that feels right for you at that
stage of your life and you're comfortable and you want
to get it and you're excited for it and it's
only for you, then absolutely, But I definitely don't want
(03:56):
it to come across like I'm like, guys, my nose
job and me, if you're really good, everyone go go,
because that's not the case, and it actually is more
I'd say it's more confronting than my boob job. I
have my boobs on as well, Slagh. But it's definitely
a different process because it's your face, and your face
(04:16):
is something you look at every single day, many times
a day. If you're a leo, I look at my
face the fucking time, but it now looks slightly different.
And I know a lot of people because I've been
talking about those jobs and searching it up so much
on my TikTok. It's pretty well like what my whole
for You page is, and the amount of people that
say the recovery process the hardest part about it was
(04:39):
the fact that they had like three weeks where they
just didn't feel like themselves because they didn't look like
themselves and your nose, it will only get better with time.
So I feel like, yes, I just got my cast
off two days ago and I am pretty happy with
how it looks, but it will change so much. But
when I wake up in the morning, I'm like, what
the fuck like? It is a very confronting situation because
(05:01):
your face looks different to what you've always known it
to look like. So it's not for the lighthearted or
a quick, little spur of the moment decision. I would
recommend anyone making so that's my hear me out guys.
So as you guys know, your hear me outs and
your opinions are very important to me, and we're gonna
be listening to a lot of those throughout the episodes,
and I'm going to be reacting to your biggest hot
(05:23):
takes hear me out. So if you have interesting or
controversial opinions on anything, just send them through because we're
going to be running through a lot of those every
episode and that will just be an open forum always.
I want you guys to feel like anytime you have
a story or a hear me out, send it on
through and we'll read it out in the pod. Let's
(05:44):
get into No's jobs. I've had so many questions. I've
posted a couple of videos, but you guys are so
curious on the ins and outs and the details on
that procedure. So we're gonna talk about that. How it
all went down. I have one of my nose down
my whole life. A lot of people were like why, Like,
my nose is fine, My nose was fine, Like there
was nothing particularly horrible about it. It was I had
(06:08):
a deviated septum. I couldn't breathe out of one side.
I also got my turbinites reduced in one side because
it's like a gland higher up in your nose and
it was blocking my whole other nostril. The word nostril sick.
So they straightened my septum and shrunk those so I
can breathe and they at the same time. While obviously
(06:29):
I'm in there, I had a favorite side and my
other side because of the septum pushed outwards and kind
of hooked over. I wanted that fixed, so they did
shave it down a little bit. But everything, the swelling
and everything will go down the tip well drop. But
the process of one of my nose. Everyone asked how
(06:50):
I picked the surgeon. I went to my GP and
they recommended someone for me, and it was actually someone
that one of my girlfriends had gotten their boobs done
with him. But he's more renowned for rhino plastis and
he was a bit of a one and done for me.
That was the same with my boobs. I met with them.
I think you just need to feel comfortable. I'd say
(07:10):
a good way to pick a surgeon for rhino plastis
if they're quite well versed in revision rhino plasties. It
means they're usually quite good at the basic ones too,
because if they can do the hard ones, they're really
good at the easy ones. So his name was Andrew Greensmith.
He was amazing. I would recommend him so highly. You know,
I think what kind of hooked me is if anyone
(07:31):
grew up in my like my age vibe Like do
you know Trishna and Krishna they're conjoined twins.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
No, the ones that speak at the same time.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
No, they were like babies when we were growing up
and they're like conjoined twins and they got separated when
we were younger. But I remember hearing about it. He
did like the first cut on them and was the
like E and T on that surgery. No way, Yes,
I'm like, he's good, So I went with him. He
was amazing. I also didn't realize until when I was
(08:01):
in my little hospital bed with my gown and cap on.
He came over to talk to me. He does I
think it's an ultrasonic rhinoplasty or something like that, And
instead of using like hammer and chiesel vibes or they
like break your nose, it's like a machine that vibrates
high frequencies and that's the machine you used to shave
the bone down, which I think is why I ended
(08:21):
up with so little bruising and so little swelling is
because it was a lot less traumatic to my face
because of this new technology. So I'd say, if you
can find someone that operates using that is a good time.
I would obviously recommend going to a doctor first, a
GP and talking to them about the procedure. They know
people that are highly regarded, They can recommend it. They
(08:42):
can also be like babe, talk you off the ledge sometimes.
But it is now actually in new laws essential to
get a referral from a GP before you do meet
with a surgeon, so for a rhinoplasty, so just FYI
it's something you're looking into, you do need to go
to a doctor first. But I think it was a
helpful part of process for me to be able to
talk it out with someone versus just me being like, fuck, yeah,
(09:04):
I want to get my nose done. Let's go look
at a before and after. But so I met with
the doctor and there was like they created this three
D scan of my face. I didn't really go in
with a lot of inspo because what's so important to
know is you might want to Barbie little button nose,
but that might not look best on your face. And
I think I knew that those cute little noses like
(09:24):
a Madison ber Nos or a Sydney kimberly Nos, like
that's not going to look good on my face because
I've got like quite prominent I've got like quite a
round face. Anyway, I have a teeny little nose in
the middle. It wouldn't look good like Sam's nose is
the best nose ever. If that went on my face,
I would look stupid, you know. So I kind of
more just told him what I didn't like about my
nose and things I liked about other people's noses, and
(09:47):
he like used the computer program to kind of adjust
my nose and show me a before and after, and
it was so minimal in the photos. But I didn't
ever want a huge change. And I think once all
the swelling and everything goes down, people, oh, I don't
see much of a difference. I didn't want much of
a difference. I just wanted my little hook to be
not a hook anymore. So anyway, everything's good. I found
(10:09):
out I liked him, I was comfortable with him. And
then I booked in the surgery and it was like,
people ask how long you have to wait? I think
mine was maybe three months. So my I would always
recommend having a family member or someone there to look
after you. My mum and sister were both away and
I lived with my sister. And the reason I say
my mum is because last time, when I got my
(10:29):
boobs done, I moved in with my mum. But boobs
is different because I couldn't lift my arm, so I
couldn't even really get into bed on my own. I
couldn't fluff my feelings, I couldn't cook, I couldn't do anything.
I couldn't even brush my hair, so I needed to
live with mom. I lived with Mum for two weeks.
This time, my best friend legs older sister in Nushka.
She was the one that drove me to and from
(10:49):
the hospital. She basically just made me lunch like the
day after and I froze it. And then from then
on I really didn't have any help and I didn't
need it, like she was obviously great and was offering
me help. But you can do everything normally with your nose,
like I wouldn't worry. I feel like everyone scares you online.
I was a normal, functioning human being pretty well straight away.
(11:11):
So I get to the hospital. The shit is fart
about it for me is that you can't drink any water.
My appointment was in the afternoon at like three, so
I had to fast before from twelve from midnight the
night before, so I just slept in and then when
I woke up, I'm like, I need fucking water. But
you can't drink water like you think. It doesn't make
a bet, it's not gonna be a big deal, but
(11:31):
it's about like when you're under you can't it could
like run back up your throat and like you could
toke on it or something. So basically, don't drink or
eat if they tell you not to. I got to
the hospital. They put me in a room and then
I had about an hour. They changed me into my
little gown, my compression socks, and my cap and then
they wheeled me through the hospital, which was a humiliation
(11:55):
ritually if I could ever, Like people were just walking
through the hospital and I'm lying in bed being wheeled
with a fucking shower cap on. It was hell. And
then they took me into a room and it was
actually so busy. There were all these different bays of
people lying there who were obviously like prepping for surgery.
And I was like, I like toe to toe in
these beds, like staring right at this old man who
(12:15):
was like trying to talk to me, and it was
so fucking awkward. And I looked at the chick behind me,
and I was like, can you move me ever so
slightly because this is so awkward. She was like a
young girl my age, and she was really nice, and
she just like moved me around, wheeled me into a bay.
You obviously don't have your phone, So I was twiddling
my thumbs for like forty minutes. And then the anesthesiologist, anethetist,
(12:35):
someone needs to confirm that for me, because I don't
know the best way. I don't know how to what
that's called. They came and spoke to me. Then the
surgeon came and spoke to me, and then they injected
me with something to calm me down. I get really,
really sick on anesthesia, so I had to preface that.
They gave me anti nausea meds and everything. That's honestly
(12:56):
the worst part of the whole surgery for me is
how sick I feel when I wake up, and yeah,
this time was no fucking different. It was hell on
a stick. So they wheeled me into the operating theater
and this time I actually was like, oh, wake when
they put me in the theater, and I was like
talking to all the people around me, telling them about
my fun little experience in America with the police and
the guns and all that fun stuff. They're like, who
(13:19):
is this fish? Shut the fuck up. They put the
anesthesia over my mouth and knocked me out, and then
it's so weird. I just like wake up a couple
like seconds later, and I've got a new nose. But
I remember how I felt after my boobs and I
was so sick and I needed food like immediately. So
when I woke up and I kind of gained my
(13:40):
mind again, I was like, I need food. I need sandwiches.
I need those homdwiches, sandwiches that they have at hospitals,
like I need cubs now. And the lady's like, oh,
we'll get your food when you get back to your room,
and I'm like, when will that be? She goes about
an hour an hour that will be the longest fucking
hour of my life, and it was. She gave me
a lie. I started crying Jamian icey bowl, a lemonade
(14:02):
icey bowl, and I was sitting there with my bolster
on and my cast on, crying while I was looking
a little lemonade icy pole. And finally she brought me
back to my room and I was still feeling so sick,
and then I ate little halm and trees sandwiches, passed
the fuck out, and then when I woke up, I
just read Zodiac Academy until five am, and then I
(14:25):
woke up the next time, I went home, and yeah,
that was honestly. Being in the hospital and after waiting
for the anesthesia to wear off was the worst part
of the process for me. Pain levels pretty fucking low.
Like I know, it seems really scary, but I wasn't
in any pain pretty well the whole time, so it
was good. I just had to clean it rest a lot.
(14:46):
Sleeping was the hardest thing for me, because you have
to sleep relatively upright for the first couple of days,
and they don't recommend taking any sleeping meds because you're
adjusting to breathing out of your mouth, and I know
that's something that I struggled with like i'd wake myself up.
I was realizing that, like I would just close my
mouth and try and breathe out of my nose, and
there's no airflow there, so you're basically dying. But yeah,
(15:08):
sleeping was the shit as far and the anesthesia. Other
than that, I think I had a pretty smooth recovery.
I didn't really bruise, I didn't really swell. There are
probably people looking at me that like had their eyes
swollen shut going fuck you, super bitch. But I was
really lucky so cast came off. I had mine on
for fifteen days, which is quite long. A lot of
people get those off after one week, but I actually,
(15:31):
in the long run, I think I was glad because
that meant the swelling was able to subside quite a lot,
so it wasn't such a like, oh my god, my
nose is so fat and ugly. When I took the
cast off, it was like kind of calmed down a
bit by then anyway, And yeah, it's an adjustment. It's
crooked to one side, which is actually the other side
that it was crooked too prior to the surgery, which
(15:52):
is really fun. I have to do little nose exercises
and like push my tip over. But yeah, I think
it's just a waiting game now to get the spelling done.
Everything but prices. A lot of you asked on my
You always ask her my TikTok about prices. I just
wasn't really comfortable putting it in. I don't know why.
I feel like money is always just such a weird thing.
(16:13):
I paid twenty two grand, but because I had a
septoplasty and the terminite reduction that is covered under Medicare,
so I will be getting money back, which takes a
couple of weeks to come in, so right now, I'm
not sure exactly how much out of pocket I will
be at the end of it. I'll let you know
once that money comes in. But yeah, it's it's expensive
because he's renowned and he's great, and I think when
(16:36):
it comes to plastic surgery, honestly, you'd rather just spend
the money because it's your face and it's your body,
and you'd rather it be done well. But so far,
so good, Happy days. I'll update you of anything changes.
I just can't wait for my spelling to subside and
my notes will looks snatched and hot, So yeah, slay
all right, guys, I opened up a question box on
(16:58):
my story. I asked you guys to ask me some
questions just because I feel like this episode is also
about getting it reacquainted with me or if I have
new listeners or anything like that. So I just got
you guys to ask me some questions. I told you
it was for a video, but it's for my secret podcast,
so let's get into some of those. So, guys, we
have Blakey, my producer. You guys, if you listen to
(17:20):
Just for Girls, you will know him. He's gonna just
ask me some of the questions. Oh, hi girl, congrats
a thank you, welcome to hear me out.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
I'm going to jump straight into her, all right, how
do I achieve the IDGAF is the effect?
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Oh? I feel like it's a fake it till you
make it kind of thing, Guys, If I'm being honest,
I definitely I'm sweet that you think that I did
have that kind of attitude. But there's so much like
I'm such an anxious person, and I feel like it's
really challenging to fully have that kind of attitude. I
just think what will be will be. I have the
people around me that love me and know me, and
(17:55):
I'm just trying to enjoy my young, twenty four year
old life, and why should I let anyone get in
the way of that. I just feel like you need
to just see what makes you happy and fuck anyone
that says anything different. It's just a bit of a
Like this year, I actually said that this year is
about myself and putting myself first, and I feel like
it has totally changed my outlook on everything. If I
don't want to do something, I'm not fucking doing it.
(18:18):
So it's like, Oh, I have a prior commitment, I'm
meant to go to dinner. Oh but I'm tired. Oh
I'm going to cancel. And it might be rude, it
might be, but I'm like, I'm putting myself first this
year and doing things that make me happy and make
me feel fulfilled. And I feel like it maybe has
really helped me have that IDGAF boss vibe. So that's
(18:38):
what you need to do. Just prioritize yourself.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
How did you get into social media slush influencing?
Speaker 1 (18:44):
It was never even something I considered. I'm so glad
that my life has panned out the way it has,
but I think I was just posting on TikTok for fun.
This was twenty twenty maybe late twenty twenty two. I
think it was November or December. I posted maybe four
of five little videos of my friends, and then I
had one video I was in Gold Coast with my friend.
(19:05):
It was a transition video of me fake vomiting into
a toilet and coming up with my makeup all did
and it got like one point eight million views, and
I was like, whoa, Like when you get that viral video, like,
I'm sure there's some of you around that have had
like a couple of those videos that do really well.
It's like, oh my god, this is the best tay ever.
But my manager, Claudia, i'd known her growing up through
(19:28):
Actually the girl looked after me when I got my
nose done Anushka. They were good friends, and so she
reached out through and was like, hey, I've been looking
at your social media. I then had a couple videos
that got maybe thirty thousand views, and she was like,
I know you. I feel like you'd be great in
this industry. Would it be something you would consider coming
in to have a meeting with me? And I actually,
funnily enough, had had a really really big night. The
(19:49):
night before that meeting was going to take place, and
I had a bit of a meltdown about it. I
was like, I don't want to I'm just enjoying social
media right now. I don't want to make it serious.
I don't want to make it work. I didn't want
things to change, not that I was really posting much
at all, but I just didn't really know I guess
how the industry ran, or know if I'd be good
(20:10):
for it, And with obviously the lingering anxiety, I was
concerned that it would not be the right fit for me.
And Mum was like, you got nothing to lose by
just going in and meeting with her. I met with Claudia,
my manager now and through the owner of One day Dream,
and they just made me feel so relaxed and settled
and were like, you really could be good at this,
(20:32):
like your personality shines through and why not just give
it a go. And I did and never looked back since.
Now I've been doing social media full time for I
think two years, and I couldn't be happier. Like I'm
very grateful and very very lucky that I have so
many beautiful people that love watching me and listening to
me and can allow me to do that full time.
(20:53):
So thank you.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
And the age old question. Do you find influencing to
be hard?
Speaker 1 (20:58):
No, it's demanding mentally, but I would never compare it
to a full time nine to five job in any
aspect because even if I would have think, like when
I worked full time at the call center, I did
that for like two years. That was harder. It was
still anxiety inducing. You still have to deal with lots
(21:21):
of personalities, but you're going into an office and working
full time and that was really challenging. And social media. Yeah,
it's not everything that it seems. It's not all sunshine
and rainbows all the time, but it is. There are
so many incredible benefits that I get out of it
as well, And I'm choosing to put myself in this
position and I'm grateful to be doing it and I
(21:42):
love that I'm doing it. But from a demanding aspect
of work, no, it's not hard. It's complicated and it
can be challenging, but it's not a hard job if
we're talking in the scheme of jobs.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
No, you mentioned the call center. Yeah, what were you
doing before influencing and what did you want to be.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Funnily enough, I always wanted to be a behavioral analysis
because I loved criminal minds and that was like, and
I love true crime, Like if you know me at all,
I listened to true I've listened to True Crime to
go to bed every single night for about four years now.
And I think, now it's a bit of a it's
a bit of an OCD sort of tick thing. I
can't I don't feel like I could sleep without it,
(22:25):
so I have to. But I wanted to do that.
And then weirdly, weirdly enough, I had a I remember
in you eight we were usd to like sit down
and write what we viewed our life to be like
in five ten years. And I wanted to be I
wanted to be glam. I wanted to be hot, I
wanted to have I didn't see myself doing an office job,
(22:45):
you know. So and that was so confused at that
point because I was like, all I've ever wanted to
do is do something in crime or be a detective,
or that is what I wanted to do my whole life.
So then to sit down and actually write though what
I've view you myself doing or how I viewed myself
living in ten years, and it was totally opposite to that.
(23:06):
I was a bit lost, and I think, honestly enough,
that moment was when I was like, hang on, I
actually don't know what I want to do anymore. Therefore,
I never went to UNI until I was like, I'll
figure it out. It will come to me. And because
I hated school so much, so I was like, I
didn't want to study and change out of it and
feel like I'd wasted those six months and a course
that I ended up moving out of. So I was like,
(23:27):
I'll wait until it comes to me. I'm sure it will.
It never did, not that that's comforting. I'm sure it
would have. But then I got, obviously the call from Claudia,
and I started doing what I'm doing now, which funnily enough,
I think lines up pretty well to what I envisioned
myself wanting to do when I was in year eight,
So I'm very grateful. But I worked at macas, I
was a cheerleading coach. I worked at a juice bar.
(23:49):
My biggest longest job was that nine to five call
center fucking shit show. So call centers don't recommend.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Well good timing because also been tell us about your
cheer history. I remember how good you were. I haven't
heard enough film.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Yes, I'm so excited. Really, so, I started cheerleading when
I was in year five. Not to tear my own horn,
I was pretty fucking good. I was in for anyone
that like, this will only be relevant to people that
care about cheerleading at all, but I was in level five.
I was the point flyer, baby. I was on those
(24:25):
people that got thrown up in the air. I was
short as fuck at that point. I think I was
like four n four foot nine at that point. So,
uh yeah. I was also a tumbler because I've got
my strong legs. We love strong legs on hear me out,
So don't hate you strong legs. I used to hate them,
but now I'm glad I have them. And so I
was a tumbler and a flyer. And we actually traveled
(24:45):
to compete in the American Nationals and CAA twice. So
there's about sixty thousand people watching on those stages. So
that was the scariest moment of my life to date.
I reckon was performing there, but so much fun to
be in Dallas with like a team of girls at
such a young age. But I ended up I injured
myself again and again and I just lost the love
(25:07):
for it, and that's why I ended up quitting. But
you know, it was such a fun part of my life.
It literally consumed my world. I didn't watch TV. I
watched cheerleading videos on YouTube. That was what I did
for like six years. But yeah, if cheerleading was such
a fun team sport. I had so many of the
older girls that were like sisters to me. So if
you ever think do I want to do it? Why not?
It's really fun.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
So onto dating, Oh, at first, boyfriends over romanticized or
not worth the hype.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
I love having a boyfriend, Honestly, I think over romanticize absolutely,
and nine times out of ten they will end up
breaking your fucking little heart. But I feel like you
grow and learn something from every single relationship, So I
don't regret any of my relationships. I definitely think, don't
worry about it. If you're not in a relationship or
you don't have a boyfriend, you're not missing out on anything,
(25:58):
do you know what I mean? Like you you will
learn eventually, you will find someone eventually. There's no point
getting into a relationship for the sake of it, just
because you feel like you're missing out. You're definitely not.
But you know, sometimes it's fun to be think you're
in love at a young little age, you know.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
And if your life was a movie, who would the
viewers want you to be with?
Speaker 1 (26:19):
A nice fucking man that's not gonna cheat on me
would be nice. I would like to know who, could
you guys see me dating celebrities like I slided into.
I want to know, like, tell me who I should date.
You already know it, because I'm gonna then manifest it
and make it happen and then I'll get back to
you guys.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Okay, so maybe we don't say it.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Out we don't say it out loud. Tell me who
you think i'd be really good with, and I'll fucking
make it happen. Thanks onto the surgery chat. Yeah, which
recovery was worse? Nose or breasts? Boobs? Breasts such a
formal word. I don't know what to say. Boobs was
worse because you had such more limited movement. You couldn't.
(27:01):
Mum literally had to like come, I to be like,
hey mom, I'm ready to get out of bed, and
she had to like help me push myself up because
you can't put weight on you know, how you'd like
push yourself up out of bed. You can't do that.
So it was just a lot more limiting and your muscle.
It was definitely a lot more painfu it's a lot
more life altering.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Yeah, completely, okay, girl, Yeah, best ways to stop worrying
about what people say about you.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
The people that like you and the people whose opinions
that you care about will not make you feel that
way and will not talk about you like that. So
it's more just like, why worry about the opinions of
people that either don't actually like you, don't have your
best interests at heart, or don't know you. You know,
it's irrelevant frankly, the people opinions of people that like you,
(27:45):
don't know or don't like It's like, why would you
let them affect how you feel? And you know, the
opinions of your family and your friends and the people
you love like they're the opinions you need to listen to.
And everyone else it's like, not everyone's gonna like everyone,
but you don't need to tailor make yourself to be
likable to everyone in the whole world. So it's okay
to have negative opinions about you sometimes, but as long
(28:07):
as you don't dwell on them and just try and
focus on the positives, because nine times out of ten
there is so many more amazing comments, and I feel
like we tend to dwell on the negative ones. So
my thought process is just laugh and move on.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Yeah, and I think these are parallel to each other.
But how do you also deal with speculation and rumors
about yourself?
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Sometimes it can be frustrating, but I find that my
best way to go about it online is to not
say anything. I feel like feeding into it makes it worse.
Getting angry makes it worse. Everything dies down eventually. I
think I'm quite lucky that I haven't had too much
drama online for now. Hopefully that's how it continues. But
I find I just tend to try not to pay
(28:49):
it too much mind, and there is that's easier said
than done. When I have been lucky not to have
a lot of drama coming to me online, I can
imagine how much more challenging that would be if it
were in full force in your comments section at all times.
But no one's out here saying you're not allowed to
delete comments you're not a lot of band words. Whatever
keeps your peace is what I think you should go with.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
And to finish what's next for missus?
Speaker 1 (29:13):
He what's next? Fuck? Guys, I don't know what do
you want to see for me next? I think I
just want to put a lot of effort into this.
I want this to be a safe, comfortable, happy place
for you, guys. I want it to be a good
place for me. I'm really excited to be starting something
on my own. I think I can be quite self
(29:34):
deprecating and when it comes to the business side of things,
because I can be lazy, and I can be unorganized,
and sometimes I fear or worry like that I can't
do these things. So to be able to start something
on my own and curate it and hopefully have it
be successful, that is what I'm going to be focusing
on now. Because I also just want to prove to
(29:55):
myself that I can that I can have like a
successful business and podcasts and do something on my own.
So it's about proving it to myself. So that's what
I'm focusing on. So my dms and the podcast ms
and everything is always open. Like I said, we're gonna
call them hear me Out from here on out. But
basically it's like a hot take and an interesting or
(30:15):
controversial opinion. I want to hear them from you guys
at all times because we're gonna be running through a
couple every single episode and then follow along on the
stories on hear Me Out with Izzy, which is the
Instagram handle of this podcast, and we'll be asking for submissions,
and I just want to hear everything from you guys,
because I feel like this podcast isn't gonna be what
(30:36):
I want it to be without the input of all
of you guys as well, because you guys make it
what it is and hopefully we can grow it together.
There'll be links and everything in all the show notes
for this episode, and in the bio. We're gonna try
and create a sort of website where you can go
to submit different types of submissions through a link in
the bio of hear Me Out with Izzy, just so
if something ever pops up, even if it's not something
(30:58):
I've spoken about that episode, you can just chuck it
in there and we can look at it for future episodes.
But thanks for hearing me talk guys. This is so exciting,
But I love you all, and I'm so excited for
what the future will bring. Next week we will have
a guest on, so stay tuned on the stories for
what sort of submissions we're looking for for next week.
But I love you all and I can't wait to
(31:20):
talk to you next week. Bye.
