Speaker 1 (00:03):
Welcome back everyone to The in Between with Georgina and Jamie.
It is your host Georgina and Jamie. We are so
excited to be back on the mic. We had so
much fun last time. And thank you so much everyone
for the reaction on the podcast so far.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
We've had a lot of love. We've got you sweety pies.
We absolutely love your.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Keep it up because if you want to hear more
of us, we got to get the stats up.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
I got to get that so like, listen, share, subscribe.
Today we are talking all about am I behind in life?
Am I behind in these timelines that we make up
in our heads? The myth of timelines, I feel like
myth of timelines this age, your twenties and your thirties.
We're all made to believe that there's a timeline We've
got to achieve certain things by a certain.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Time in our life. But it's absolutely not true. It's
all your individual journey. So we're here to break that myth.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
And who else thought by the age of twenty five
they be married with three kids, it's in a house
in the suburbs Because that was me. I truly grew
up thinking twenty five is so old I'm going to
almost be a grandmo.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
By then, I don't say that.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
But also, no, no, you probably came up with that
thought when you were what like fourteen or something like you.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Like it seemed like it was so old because we
were so young, but you get to well, we're in
our late twenties now and we realize how young, thriving
and hotly are.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
But also I.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Feel like subconsciously, a lot of the time, like even
as a fourteen year old, you would have had that
belief based on what you've seen or heard in society,
and even though you know now that like that's not
true or whatever, it's still is in the back of
your mind is or I'm getting older, I probably should
have a house soon, or I should look at getting
married or having babies or whatever it may be. But
(01:50):
it's just absolutely not the case. And there's so much
pressure on particularly young women around this age and what
you see on Instagram and who's bought this house or
who's having babies, getting married or whatever, it is their
career thriving. But if you're not in that spot and
you're feeling a bit lost or like you haven't achieved
what you should by that age.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
It's just not true.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
And where your girls to break that down, because I
think it's also like as females, I think we do
have this pressure of you know, our biological clock and everything,
but life has changed so much since you know, our
grandparents when they were having kids at such a younger age,
which you know, a lot of people still choose to
do that, but there are people who are you know,
prioritizing their career, are in their twenties. Like us, We've
(02:32):
moved into state, we've got other things happening, and we
just want to remove the pressure of whatever you're feeling
pressured to do. Like you don't need to lean into
your career, you don't need to lean into having kids.
You need to figure out what you want and what
is the timeline for you and not feel pressured into anything,
because you can make anything the best life ever. Ye,
(02:52):
And I think it's mainly just the pressure of looking
around at other people and what they're doing.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
In comparison is the thief of joy. It's Jamie's favorite quote.
Everyone comparison is the thief of joy. It absolutely is,
especially when we currently live in a climate when we're
all on social media. Everyone's posting their achievements. Everyone's posting
the highlights, the highlight reel, not the struggles in the
behind the scenes. So you get caught up and thinking,
(03:19):
oh my god, look at all these other girls, women
my age that have got all these things. I'm just
not there. What's wrong with me? I need to quickly
do this. And it's just the pressure. It's pressure from society,
but it's pressure it comes from yourself, and then there's
no way to stop that or debunk it.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
If you're just.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Living in your own hair and you're not really learning
new beliefs or getting out of your head, then that
pressure just builds and it gets worse and worse as
you grow older.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
And I think it's also there's we have never had
so many options, like there are so many options out there.
There is different careers, there's having a business, there's working remotely,
there's traveling, there's having kids, there's getting married and help,
and it's it's like paralyzing when you think of every
single option what everyone's doing, And it truly is just
(04:07):
like coming back to what you want and understanding what
feels aligned for you and understanding what feels right for
you rather than getting mixed into that head noise, because
that's what truly makes you feel like froze, not overwhelmed.
And the hard thing is, no matter where you are
in life, there's always going to be someone who's doing
it differently. There's always going to be someone who's further
(04:28):
ahead than you or people that are behind you, Like
that is the journey of life because everyone's on their
own timeline. So this whole episode is just how can
you come back to yourself and really release that pressure,
because it's not about doing things in a different way,
it's about how you look at it because it really
is a mindset thing because timelines don't.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Exist, Timeline's it's an illusion.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
It's an illusion, Preshot and Timeline's own illusion and time
it tom all actually probably get into it all right. Well,
that being said, long as introy a Bar, we've pretty
much summarized your our whole.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Points that let's get into it. Let's get into it.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
So I think the first part of this episode we
really wanted to get into our own personal reflections on
when we felt precious of timelines and what that has
kind of meant for us because we have definitely struggled
with this, but we're in such a different place now.
I'm really decided that we get to do life.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
On our own terms.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
So what's kind of been your journey with the whole
process of timelines and when if you felt pressure and
what's kind of caused that.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Gee, I was similar to you when I was younger.
I thought like engage twenty four, married, twenty five, babies
twenty six. I don't know why that seems to be
the age, but that is the age that I had
in my head from a younger girl too, and it's
absolutely not been the case. Like, while I feel really
proud of things that I've achieved, I'm constantly like I
(05:51):
still go back and forth in my head all the
time of like what do I want?
Speaker 2 (05:54):
What I want to do?
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Jamie and I every couple of weeks we decide that
we want to run away and start a coffee shop
together and just do.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Some cookingst what's the flavor of the most?
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Really something really simple, because you're like, you know, you're
hustling in your career and you're doing all of these
things to be so productive and achieve things all the time,
but it's just not sustainable. It's really really not. And
once you peel back that layer and realize, hold on,
what do I actually want if it wasn't for what
I was showing other people that I've achieved, like what
(06:27):
would make mutually happy. So really just trying to tap
into that at the moment and stay true to myself,
because you know, everyone's journey is so unique. And recently
I turned twenty eight at the beginning of this year
and it was so weird. I swear to God, something
biological happened and I all of a sudden was like babies,
(06:48):
I've got to think about.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
It's like your frontal loge.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
It just it just the same kicked in, and all
of a sudden, everyone around me was pregnant or having babies.
And it's just like, in my vision at the moment
is marriage and babies and all of these things, and
personally I'm not there right now. Like I think it
really depends on who you are and like you know
(07:11):
what you want, But I am really just wanting to
invest in myself at the moment and have experiences and
just feel really happy. I feel like I have pressure
in a lot of other ways that I just don't
want to add that right now. So I'm battling with
this myself because I'm like, oh wow, I'm you know,
I'm going to be twenty nine next. You like, maybe
(07:32):
I need to start thinking about it, and you just
get in these head noised loops of thinking all of
these things. But whenever I get like that, I just
peel it back and spend some time with myself and
think about what do I actually want? What lights me out,
what would make me happy. It's the societal expectations, it
is other people achieving things.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
It really messes with you.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
In one hundred persent and it's like you think about, Okay,
well if I did have that situation right now, what
would that look like for me? And then you think
about that and you understand that why that's not right
for you at that time, and you understand why you're not.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
In that reality right now.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
But it is when you see everyone else doing a
certain thing or should I be doing that? Or am
I behind or whatever it is, because it just it
can be such a loop, and it's just learning to
have that awareness and pull yourself out of it so
that you don't don't go and do something that doesn't
feel aligned because of that pressure, because I think that's
the hardest thing is when or when people classic of
(08:29):
people being like, oh, I've been in this career for
six ten years, I can't change now. But it's like, well,
maybe if you gave it a few years of changing career,
then you would be so glad you did, But you
don't want to then look back in ten years and
be like, oh, I wish I changed.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Yeah, I wish I did that.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
And that's I think something that's really been on my
mind lately is I don't want to get to the
end of my twenties, which is very close, and you're like,
damn it, these were the you know, quote unquote best
years of my life, days of our lives, the days
of our lives, and I've spent them trying to hustle
in my career and trying to stress and all these things,
just trying to be the next level and you know,
(09:07):
do all these things all the time instead of actually
living and enjoying. So at the moment, my new kind
of perspective on it all is just like taking it
as it comes, living a bit more in the now,
trying to enjoy it because you know the universe will
deliver things to you in the right timing, when it's
all aligned for you, in the perfect timing, and I
really trust in that as opposed to like trying to
(09:29):
manufacture a timeline and be like, well, thirty is babies
and this and this and this kind of just being
open to what's going to fill me with joy at
different times in my life and then like letting that
timeline unfold in the perfect way. So anyway, that's where
I'm at the moment. That's my thought process.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
What about you, Jay, Well, I feel like I really
went through this when I first moved to the Gold
Coast because my basically my entire friendship group from back
home or decided to get married within a year, which
was so exciting. I absolutely love that for them and
have just loved watching all of that. But I think
for me, I was kind of like, well, I'm starting
(10:07):
from scratch again, I'm moving into state and what does
this mean for me? And I think I really felt
that pressure then, but I had to remind myself, Okay,
well I wanted this, I moved, I chose to do this,
and I'm still I think I moved here when I
was twenty seven or something like, which is actually in
the scheme of things so young, and I think for me,
(10:31):
I really had to think about what I really wanted
at that time, and it was this new life and
it was moving into state and seeing what was possible.
And I had kind of always been someone who didn't
really want the quote unquote like typical life, Like I
wanted to do things different. I wanted to push myself,
expand and grow and if I didn't move, then like when.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Would I Because it's only going to get harder to move,
you know.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
So I really went through that then and had to
remind myself of my why and this season that I
was in. And then I also went through this when
I started posing my business at the end of.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Last year, because I was like.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Well, I'm almost twenty nine. Is it too late to
start a business? Like all these people have started businesses
in the early twenties, because you're seeing that so much online.
But again I was like, well, in five years time,
I'm gonna wish that I had have started at that
time when I had that idea. So I think you're
always going to have those thoughts creep and you're always
(11:28):
going to have you know, imposter syndrome. But just choosing
to do what feels right at that time and feels aligned,
rather than being like, well, I'm too late, it's too
late for me to do that, or I can't change
my career now, I can't start that business now, or
you know, whatever it is, because you can do what's
right for you and you can create your own timeline.
So I think just believing in that.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
And even questioning, like all those things that come up
like am I too old to do this? Blah blah blah,
stopping and being like is this the truth? Like show
me where this is factual evidence? This is a real
belief because it's just fear and head noise and all
of these things. So if it comes up like oh
am I too old to do this or whatever it is,
(12:09):
is this truthful? Like how much truth is there of this?
Speaker 2 (12:11):
None? None?
Speaker 1 (12:12):
And you know what's really funny because I know that
this was just my ego talking to keep myself small
and keep myself safe, because I've had the same thought
of am I too young to start the business? So
it really isn't about an age thing. It's about your
ego trying to tell you that you're too old, you're
too young. It's the wrong time blah blah blah, to
keep you in the same space so that you feel
(12:32):
safe and comfortable.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
And as soon as you just zoom.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Out of it and step into what your higher self
actually thinks and what's actually you know, the truth and
what can be your truth, that's when the magic happens.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
And you know what, when I was really like young, young, young,
when I was young, I had this vision of being
like Forbes thirty under thirty, I was going to be
a millionaire super young, like you've still got come on,
come on, Forbes, pick it up. But like in school,
(13:06):
I was reading Roxy Jsanko's book, like I was going
to be this huge PR business woman.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
I had all these visions. You're telling me, this is
the PR.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
So I had all these visions for myself and obviously
none of that happened the way I thought, and I
did go through a shame cycle for a while, being
like wow, like I didn't achieve what I wanted to,
I'm a failure blah blah blah. But what if, in fact,
the real timeline of when I'm supposed to have a
business or be this person that I thought I was
(13:33):
going to be is laid down the track, but my
you know, fear and ego and all these things made
me believe that it was early on, like it's all
just a twisted perspective and belief, and then you get
so attached to that age or that timeline that you've
just made up when actually maybe that wasn't for you
at all. And I've had since then, I've had these
intuitive feelings that my time when that success is going
(13:57):
to come for me is when I'm going to be
a mum.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
And I remember you saying that, and You're like, I
just know it'll be.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
When I'm on maternity leave or when i'm a mom
or something like that's when I'll feel that vision and
inspiration and go for it. And that's just like a
random intuitive thing that's just dropped in, you know, and
maybe like that's more of the truth, you know.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
You know what though, I was talking to Cinda about
this the other day, my coach, because she I was
talking to her about timelines and businesses and kind of
asking her when she went full in in her business
and stuff like that, and she's like, I was on
attorney leave, like it's the best time because she's like, yes,
you're a mom and you've got children to take care of,
or one child or whatever it is. She's like, I
just felt like it was the perfect time because she
(14:43):
just had like this new inspired energy.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
And I guess it's like you have a.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Different reason, like you have a different motivation, Like you've
got these beautiful babies that are watching what you're doing,
and if that's for you too, Like obviously you don't
have to have children. Whatever feels right or have a business.
This whole episode is whatever you feel good at the time.
But yeah, she said that's when she just felt like
was the time for her to start a business.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
I've even heard Margarita Nazarenko shout out on our podcast
as soon as a guest we love her. She was
even saying that she has like since becoming a mom,
that's when she fully had this whole new like I'm
going to start this business, I'm gonna do all these things,
because she first of all had this like primal instinct
like I have to protect and care for my babies.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
But also she's like, you're just newly resourceful.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
You make shit happen, like you just have a whole
new energy in Lisa on life, and she's like, I
get more done now with two babies than I did
before when I was a young woman in my twenties,
with more time.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
I actually have heard a lot of moms say that,
saying that you make what you can do in two
hours when you're a mum is what you could do
in two days when you're not a mum, because you
just have to be productive. Like you don't have as
much time as you used to, so you have to
make the most of the time.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
But you know what, also following on, you know what.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Also is a lot of people then have had the
limiting belief of I can't do that when I'm a
mom because I'm a mum, and it's it is. It's
like what your mind will tell you is not possible,
is one hundred percent possible. You can always go and
find someone who has done it and been the exception
to the rule, and just don't allow these timelines or
(16:20):
situations or whatever it is to be your block, because
you can always find another way, another path that might
not look like what you thought it was or what
you thought it was going to look like, but you
can do it.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
I'm gonna butcher this story, but it's like the story
of the guy who was going to run the four
minute mile, the four minute mile, and it was like
said that he couldn't do it.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
No one could run four miles in a minute, and
then a mile in four minute. Sorry, no one could
run a mile. You can run for a minute.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
It seems like a lot. This guy's amazing a mile
in four minutes. And then because the limitation was there, Oh,
no one can do that, it's impossible.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
He couldn't do it. No one had done it.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
But then when he just like broke through those barriers
and gave it a try, he could do it. And
then after that a lot of people ran a mile
in four minutes. Yeah, but it is, yeah, the four
minute mile, the four minute mile. So that just goes
to show that there's so many expectations and limitations imposed
on us by society, by people around us, by beliefs
(17:21):
you had when you were growing up, and it's all
like if you just stop and look at it as
an illusion, and then all of this is just made
up beliefs that we attached to and think is our reality,
but it's simply not, and just give things to go,
like try and debunk beliefs and create new realities because
nothing's really true, nothing's real. It sounds like I'm crazy,
(17:43):
but nothing's real, nothing's true, No beliefs are fact, and
it's up to you to just do whatever you want
at whatever time feels good for you, and don't worry
about anyone else.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
And like, truly, if you're not hurting anyone, I know
we said this in the last episode, if you're not
hurting anyone, there's not a reason not to, like, just
back yourself, believe in yourself, and go after it because
you have it inside you.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
And also what's out one of our favorite sayings, what's
the worst that can happen? What's the worst that could happen?
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Like with you with Posey, if you like, say you
started that, and like, the worst that can happen is
what it doesn't work out, or you don't have enough time,
or you don't love it. You okay, great, you stop
it and you've tried, and you feel good knowing that
that path wasn't for you because you gave it a go.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
And that's we were having this conversation last week too
with like We've been having a lot of changes happening
in our personal lives, both of us and I was
having a call with Cinda, my coach again shout out,
I'll probably talk about it all the time because she's
like my fairy godmother.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
And she was like, Jamie, what's the worst that could happen?
Speaker 1 (18:44):
You're making a problem out of something that's not a problem,
Like this is your own beliefs and mindset, Like I'm
looking at this from like objectively and from an outsider position,
like you're going to survive, You're going to have everything
you need, Like, stop making a problem out of something
that's not a problem. And our brains are like hardwired
to find problems and find solutions. That's how humans operate.
(19:06):
But we get stuck in the problem. We get stuck
in the problem, and no matter what level you're at
or what your life is, you will be able to
find a problem and what you focus on expands.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
It's like sometimes you know how you're really stuck in
a dilemma or you're ruminating in something and you're like
this is it, this is my fate, like and you're
so stuck in that, and then you talk to a
friend and they give you some inspiration or come up
with a different alternative or possibility, and you're like, oh, yeah,
like you're so right, this is this, or this is this,
You're so right, this is a whole new possibility or
opportunity that I could be in. And it's because they've
(19:39):
just proved all your thoughts wrong or provided some different insight. Yeah,
and that's why sometimes you just need to get out
of your head and not believe everything you think and
take it as reality because it's just thought based on
all the stuff we see in society.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Like it's and also like whenever there's a situation that
causes you know, triggers or emotions, we're seeing things from
a wounded place. So we're not actually seeing things as fact,
we're seeing it from a lens from our wounds, and
you can't see things, you know, in an expansive way
often when you're in that mindset. And when you just
(20:16):
come out of that and you step out of that,
you regulate your nervous system, which is why we're so
big on meditating and you know, doing all of those
things because it helps you drop back into your body
and see things clearly, because seeing them from that emotional
state where you're comparing or whatever, it's not a good
energy to be in and you're not going to see
things in the best case scenario. So, and speaking of expansive,
(20:42):
let's discuss it.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Let's discuss some people. We've found some people who've achieved
amazing things at different timelines that don't suit society's norms.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Let's get into these expanders.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
And we've chosen people that are quite famous because we
wanted everyone to kind of know their storyline little bit.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
So that's why they're so well known. That's by the famous, because.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
I'm talking about you know, me, Auntie or something. Hey
still counts, still counts. But we want them to really
resonate with you, to believe what is possible and that
you can have massive success stories later on in life.
You don't have to be ten year old sensation. So
we'll go one by one. First one I want to
(21:28):
bring in absolute. Goat Morgan Freeman. Morgan Freeman gained fame
at fifty two, fifty two fifty and look at him now.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
He is like household name, household name. Absolute.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Like, imagine Morgan Freeman being like forty, just living a
normal life.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
I wonder what he did.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Get the backstory. Maybe we'll do in a whole episode
on Morgan Freeman. We're good maybe we'll interview him please,
his voice is so laxy. I'd love my dream get
Morgan Freeman on the Rise Up doing meditations because like
bedtime stories.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
You know how Matthew McConaughey does that. Yes, we'll definitely
get Matthew McConaughey on the app.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Yeah, he'd love to do that. Bring shout it out
if you're listening. Next one is Vera Wang.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
She is a very common story, but she entered fashion
design at forty after a career in figure skating and journalism.
So Vera she dabbled us, She dabbled in different careers,
she tried different things, and it wasn't until she was
forty that she got into fashion design. And now she's
like a huge global designer. So absolute, Quin there go
(22:32):
absolutely the next one, drum roll please Oprah Winfree. Oprah
her true breakout with the Oprah Winfree Show, which is
you know the show.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
The show began at thirty two, but her empire building
came later, So I don't think that means she started
the show at thirty two.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
She didn't gain momentum till a while after that.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Anyway, Honestly, crazy here, I am worrying about signing a
business at twenty eight and there's Oprah. This is probably
one of my faves is a big goaded one. Colonel Sanders,
of course, founded KFC in his sixties.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Sixties.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Imagine coming up with the best fried chicken recipe in
the world when you're sixty and then having all these
changes and like his whole legacy has been after he's
been alive, Like that is nuts.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Yeah, it's Colonel still with us? No, absolutely not.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Oh, I think he was like in the fifties or
something like it was a long time ago.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
I don't really follow KFC as a vegetarian, so I'm
not really familiar with the backstory.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
I mean neither.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
But like everyone knows the Big Girl, well, I don't
know he could have, you know, if it's getting his
sixties currently. Yeah, he lives on the Gold Coast right now.
Should go check him out.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
The next one Martha Stuette.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
So she launched her first cookbook and business empire in
her forties, and she's like, what, everyone knows who Martha
Stewart is.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
But you know what I feel like, it's because when
you get to your like, you know, the thirties is
like the decade but you kind of discover yourself a
bit more and you get to know yoursel I feel
like after that is when you really have the confidence
and like the maturity to and resources back yourself and
go after it, which is a lot of people start
businesses in their early forties, fifties, sixties because there is
(24:14):
no time limit.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
You can know whenever you want. And that's the thing.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
I've also heard a lot of billionaires talk about how
they spent their twenties learning and trying things and figuring
it out and then building in their thirties or forties,
because you really need to learn and have the life
lessons and education and resources and all those things behind
you to give it a good go. Or you know,
business owners that have failed one hundred businesses, and the
(24:38):
one hundred of us it has.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Been absolute success.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
So it truly is like allow yourself grace because I think,
I know, being in my twenties, I've put the whole
pressure to have everything in the whole world figured out
by the time I turn thirty.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
But it's just not no. I feel like my life's
just going to get started in.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
My thirties, just getting started. And also, everything you've been
through is preparing you and giving you the experience and
knowledge you need for that perfect thing to happen at.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
The right time.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Like, what if everything you've been through in your twenties
is giving you the platform you need to start that
super successful thing or buy the house or find that
you know, dream partner or family, whatever it is in
your thirties or forties or fifties or whatever it is.
Trust one hundred percent and then one more. This is
a personal pative man. So Peter Garrett, the personal connection,
(25:29):
the personal connection I had to this one.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
So you're Australian. Everyone knows Peter Garrett.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
He's for Midnight Oil and so he was in this
really big band called Midnight Oil and had a lot
of success in that first and then he switched gears
and went into politics and became the Environment Minister in
his fifties.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Love that, Like how different are those Their songs were
like about environmental issues, weren't they. Yeah, So he's always
been passionate about it. I love that so much.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
And fun fact, my auntie is actually with the guitarist from.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Midnight Oil, so he's basically your uncle. Me and Peter
Garrett a tight and also second cousin was my year
five teacher. So me and Peter Garrett. It's like the
invisible string theory. I wonder if one day you guys
will be friends. Maybe all these connections are happening, and
then you meet him at the time when you're like
in his political party or something.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Yeah, maybe you are.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
We earning the midnight oil environmental minister in my probably seventies.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Watch out, Yeah, I shout out.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
So maral of the story. It is never too late.
Don't get caught in timelines. Especially, don't ever hold the
belief that you're too old to start something, because you
are not. You are right at the perfect time. Trust
that what is coming to you is exactly how it's
meant to unfold, and you are not behind.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
You're right on time. You're on your own timeline.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
And enjoy the journey. It's not always about the destination.
It's not always about achieving that thing, because I bet
once you achieve that thing, then you'll something else or
you want more. So enjoy the journey. That's what life
is about. Living in the moments in between, and like
they're the memories, that's what you remember most. That's the
whole point is living and enjoying the journey, So don't
(27:13):
just focus on the destination.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Enjoy the process of becoming love Love. So why well,
we will see you in our next episode.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
We can't wait because we absolutely love you guys and
this whole scenario. Yes, And also we're going to start
bringing back the hot line body lines Hotline Question episodes,

good right, thanks for
Speaker 3 (27:47):
Listening, guys, Love it's the dictum Down.
Welcome back everyone to The in Between with Georgina and Jamie.
It is your host Georgina and Jamie. We are so
excited to be back on the mic. We had so
much fun last time. And thank you so much everyone
for the reaction on the podcast so far.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
We've had a lot of love. We've got you sweety pies.
We absolutely love your.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Keep it up because if you want to hear more
of us, we got to get the stats up.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
I got to get that so like, listen, share, subscribe.
Today we are talking all about am I behind in life?
Am I behind in these timelines that we make up
in our heads? The myth of timelines, I feel like
myth of timelines this age, your twenties and your thirties.
We're all made to believe that there's a timeline We've
got to achieve certain things by a certain.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Time in our life. But it's absolutely not true. It's
all your individual journey. So we're here to break that myth.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
And who else thought by the age of twenty five
they be married with three kids, it's in a house
in the suburbs Because that was me. I truly grew
up thinking twenty five is so old I'm going to
almost be a grandmo.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
By then, I don't say that.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
But also, no, no, you probably came up with that
thought when you were what like fourteen or something like you.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Like it seemed like it was so old because we
were so young, but you get to well, we're in
our late twenties now and we realize how young, thriving
and hotly are.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
But also I.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Feel like subconsciously, a lot of the time, like even
as a fourteen year old, you would have had that
belief based on what you've seen or heard in society,
and even though you know now that like that's not
true or whatever, it's still is in the back of
your mind is or I'm getting older, I probably should
have a house soon, or I should look at getting
married or having babies or whatever it may be. But
(01:50):
it's just absolutely not the case. And there's so much
pressure on particularly young women around this age and what
you see on Instagram and who's bought this house or
who's having babies, getting married or whatever, it is their
career thriving. But if you're not in that spot and
you're feeling a bit lost or like you haven't achieved
what you should by that age.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
It's just not true.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
And where your girls to break that down, because I
think it's also like as females, I think we do
have this pressure of you know, our biological clock and everything,
but life has changed so much since you know, our
grandparents when they were having kids at such a younger age,
which you know, a lot of people still choose to
do that, but there are people who are you know,
prioritizing their career, are in their twenties. Like us, We've
(02:32):
moved into state, we've got other things happening, and we
just want to remove the pressure of whatever you're feeling
pressured to do. Like you don't need to lean into
your career, you don't need to lean into having kids.
You need to figure out what you want and what
is the timeline for you and not feel pressured into anything,
because you can make anything the best life ever. Ye,
(02:52):
And I think it's mainly just the pressure of looking
around at other people and what they're doing.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
In comparison is the thief of joy. It's Jamie's favorite quote.
Everyone comparison is the thief of joy. It absolutely is,
especially when we currently live in a climate when we're
all on social media. Everyone's posting their achievements. Everyone's posting
the highlights, the highlight reel, not the struggles in the
behind the scenes. So you get caught up and thinking,
(03:19):
oh my god, look at all these other girls, women
my age that have got all these things. I'm just
not there. What's wrong with me? I need to quickly
do this. And it's just the pressure. It's pressure from society,
but it's pressure it comes from yourself, and then there's
no way to stop that or debunk it.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
If you're just.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Living in your own hair and you're not really learning
new beliefs or getting out of your head, then that
pressure just builds and it gets worse and worse as
you grow older.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
And I think it's also there's we have never had
so many options, like there are so many options out there.
There is different careers, there's having a business, there's working remotely,
there's traveling, there's having kids, there's getting married and help,
and it's it's like paralyzing when you think of every
single option what everyone's doing, And it truly is just
(04:07):
like coming back to what you want and understanding what
feels aligned for you and understanding what feels right for
you rather than getting mixed into that head noise, because
that's what truly makes you feel like froze, not overwhelmed.
And the hard thing is, no matter where you are
in life, there's always going to be someone who's doing
it differently. There's always going to be someone who's further
(04:28):
ahead than you or people that are behind you, Like
that is the journey of life because everyone's on their
own timeline. So this whole episode is just how can
you come back to yourself and really release that pressure,
because it's not about doing things in a different way,
it's about how you look at it because it really
is a mindset thing because timelines don't.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Exist, Timeline's it's an illusion.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
It's an illusion, Preshot and Timeline's own illusion and time
it tom all actually probably get into it all right. Well,
that being said, long as introy a Bar, we've pretty
much summarized your our whole.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Points that let's get into it. Let's get into it.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
So I think the first part of this episode we
really wanted to get into our own personal reflections on
when we felt precious of timelines and what that has
kind of meant for us because we have definitely struggled
with this, but we're in such a different place now.
I'm really decided that we get to do life.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
On our own terms.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
So what's kind of been your journey with the whole
process of timelines and when if you felt pressure and
what's kind of caused that.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Gee, I was similar to you when I was younger.
I thought like engage twenty four, married, twenty five, babies
twenty six. I don't know why that seems to be
the age, but that is the age that I had
in my head from a younger girl too, and it's
absolutely not been the case. Like, while I feel really
proud of things that I've achieved, I'm constantly like I
(05:51):
still go back and forth in my head all the
time of like what do I want?
Speaker 2 (05:54):
What I want to do?
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Jamie and I every couple of weeks we decide that
we want to run away and start a coffee shop
together and just do.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Some cookingst what's the flavor of the most?
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Really something really simple, because you're like, you know, you're
hustling in your career and you're doing all of these
things to be so productive and achieve things all the time,
but it's just not sustainable. It's really really not. And
once you peel back that layer and realize, hold on,
what do I actually want if it wasn't for what
I was showing other people that I've achieved, like what
(06:27):
would make mutually happy. So really just trying to tap
into that at the moment and stay true to myself,
because you know, everyone's journey is so unique. And recently
I turned twenty eight at the beginning of this year
and it was so weird. I swear to God, something
biological happened and I all of a sudden was like babies,
(06:48):
I've got to think about.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
It's like your frontal loge.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
It just it just the same kicked in, and all
of a sudden, everyone around me was pregnant or having babies.
And it's just like, in my vision at the moment
is marriage and babies and all of these things, and
personally I'm not there right now. Like I think it
really depends on who you are and like you know
(07:11):
what you want, But I am really just wanting to
invest in myself at the moment and have experiences and
just feel really happy. I feel like I have pressure
in a lot of other ways that I just don't
want to add that right now. So I'm battling with
this myself because I'm like, oh wow, I'm you know,
I'm going to be twenty nine next. You like, maybe
(07:32):
I need to start thinking about it, and you just
get in these head noised loops of thinking all of
these things. But whenever I get like that, I just
peel it back and spend some time with myself and
think about what do I actually want? What lights me out,
what would make me happy. It's the societal expectations, it
is other people achieving things.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
It really messes with you.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
In one hundred persent and it's like you think about, Okay,
well if I did have that situation right now, what
would that look like for me? And then you think
about that and you understand that why that's not right
for you at that time, and you understand why you're not.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
In that reality right now.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
But it is when you see everyone else doing a
certain thing or should I be doing that? Or am
I behind or whatever it is, because it just it
can be such a loop, and it's just learning to
have that awareness and pull yourself out of it so
that you don't don't go and do something that doesn't
feel aligned because of that pressure, because I think that's
the hardest thing is when or when people classic of
(08:29):
people being like, oh, I've been in this career for
six ten years, I can't change now. But it's like, well,
maybe if you gave it a few years of changing career,
then you would be so glad you did, But you
don't want to then look back in ten years and
be like, oh, I wish I changed.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Yeah, I wish I did that.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
And that's I think something that's really been on my
mind lately is I don't want to get to the
end of my twenties, which is very close, and you're like,
damn it, these were the you know, quote unquote best
years of my life, days of our lives, the days
of our lives, and I've spent them trying to hustle
in my career and trying to stress and all these things,
just trying to be the next level and you know,
(09:07):
do all these things all the time instead of actually
living and enjoying. So at the moment, my new kind
of perspective on it all is just like taking it
as it comes, living a bit more in the now,
trying to enjoy it because you know the universe will
deliver things to you in the right timing, when it's
all aligned for you, in the perfect timing, and I
really trust in that as opposed to like trying to
(09:29):
manufacture a timeline and be like, well, thirty is babies
and this and this and this kind of just being
open to what's going to fill me with joy at
different times in my life and then like letting that
timeline unfold in the perfect way. So anyway, that's where
I'm at the moment. That's my thought process.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
What about you, Jay, Well, I feel like I really
went through this when I first moved to the Gold
Coast because my basically my entire friendship group from back
home or decided to get married within a year, which
was so exciting. I absolutely love that for them and
have just loved watching all of that. But I think
for me, I was kind of like, well, I'm starting
(10:07):
from scratch again, I'm moving into state and what does
this mean for me? And I think I really felt
that pressure then, but I had to remind myself, Okay,
well I wanted this, I moved, I chose to do this,
and I'm still I think I moved here when I
was twenty seven or something like, which is actually in
the scheme of things so young, and I think for me,
(10:31):
I really had to think about what I really wanted
at that time, and it was this new life and
it was moving into state and seeing what was possible.
And I had kind of always been someone who didn't
really want the quote unquote like typical life, Like I
wanted to do things different. I wanted to push myself,
expand and grow and if I didn't move, then like when.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Would I Because it's only going to get harder to move,
you know.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
So I really went through that then and had to
remind myself of my why and this season that I
was in. And then I also went through this when
I started posing my business at the end of.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Last year, because I was like.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Well, I'm almost twenty nine. Is it too late to
start a business? Like all these people have started businesses
in the early twenties, because you're seeing that so much online.
But again I was like, well, in five years time,
I'm gonna wish that I had have started at that
time when I had that idea. So I think you're
always going to have those thoughts creep and you're always
(11:28):
going to have you know, imposter syndrome. But just choosing
to do what feels right at that time and feels aligned,
rather than being like, well, I'm too late, it's too
late for me to do that, or I can't change
my career now, I can't start that business now, or
you know, whatever it is, because you can do what's
right for you and you can create your own timeline.
So I think just believing in that.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
And even questioning, like all those things that come up
like am I too old to do this? Blah blah blah,
stopping and being like is this the truth? Like show
me where this is factual evidence? This is a real
belief because it's just fear and head noise and all
of these things. So if it comes up like oh
am I too old to do this or whatever it is,
(12:09):
is this truthful? Like how much truth is there of this?
Speaker 2 (12:11):
None? None?
Speaker 1 (12:12):
And you know what's really funny because I know that
this was just my ego talking to keep myself small
and keep myself safe, because I've had the same thought
of am I too young to start the business? So
it really isn't about an age thing. It's about your
ego trying to tell you that you're too old, you're
too young. It's the wrong time blah blah blah, to
keep you in the same space so that you feel
(12:32):
safe and comfortable.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
And as soon as you just zoom.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Out of it and step into what your higher self
actually thinks and what's actually you know, the truth and
what can be your truth, that's when the magic happens.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
And you know what, when I was really like young, young, young,
when I was young, I had this vision of being
like Forbes thirty under thirty, I was going to be
a millionaire super young, like you've still got come on,
come on, Forbes, pick it up. But like in school,
(13:06):
I was reading Roxy Jsanko's book, like I was going
to be this huge PR business woman.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
I had all these visions. You're telling me, this is
the PR.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
So I had all these visions for myself and obviously
none of that happened the way I thought, and I
did go through a shame cycle for a while, being
like wow, like I didn't achieve what I wanted to,
I'm a failure blah blah blah. But what if, in fact,
the real timeline of when I'm supposed to have a
business or be this person that I thought I was
(13:33):
going to be is laid down the track, but my
you know, fear and ego and all these things made
me believe that it was early on, like it's all
just a twisted perspective and belief, and then you get
so attached to that age or that timeline that you've
just made up when actually maybe that wasn't for you
at all. And I've had since then, I've had these
intuitive feelings that my time when that success is going
(13:57):
to come for me is when I'm going to be
a mum.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
And I remember you saying that, and You're like, I
just know it'll be.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
When I'm on maternity leave or when i'm a mom
or something like that's when I'll feel that vision and
inspiration and go for it. And that's just like a
random intuitive thing that's just dropped in, you know, and
maybe like that's more of the truth, you know.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
You know what though, I was talking to Cinda about
this the other day, my coach, because she I was
talking to her about timelines and businesses and kind of
asking her when she went full in in her business
and stuff like that, and she's like, I was on
attorney leave, like it's the best time because she's like, yes,
you're a mom and you've got children to take care of,
or one child or whatever it is. She's like, I
just felt like it was the perfect time because she
(14:43):
just had like this new inspired energy.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
And I guess it's like you have a.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Different reason, like you have a different motivation, Like you've
got these beautiful babies that are watching what you're doing,
and if that's for you too, Like obviously you don't
have to have children. Whatever feels right or have a business.
This whole episode is whatever you feel good at the time.
But yeah, she said that's when she just felt like
was the time for her to start a business.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
I've even heard Margarita Nazarenko shout out on our podcast
as soon as a guest we love her. She was
even saying that she has like since becoming a mom,
that's when she fully had this whole new like I'm
going to start this business, I'm gonna do all these things,
because she first of all had this like primal instinct
like I have to protect and care for my babies.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
But also she's like, you're just newly resourceful.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
You make shit happen, like you just have a whole
new energy in Lisa on life, and she's like, I
get more done now with two babies than I did
before when I was a young woman in my twenties,
with more time.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
I actually have heard a lot of moms say that,
saying that you make what you can do in two
hours when you're a mum is what you could do
in two days when you're not a mum, because you
just have to be productive. Like you don't have as
much time as you used to, so you have to
make the most of the time.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
But you know what, also following on, you know what.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Also is a lot of people then have had the
limiting belief of I can't do that when I'm a
mom because I'm a mum, and it's it is. It's
like what your mind will tell you is not possible,
is one hundred percent possible. You can always go and
find someone who has done it and been the exception
to the rule, and just don't allow these timelines or
(16:20):
situations or whatever it is to be your block, because
you can always find another way, another path that might
not look like what you thought it was or what
you thought it was going to look like, but you
can do it.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
I'm gonna butcher this story, but it's like the story
of the guy who was going to run the four
minute mile, the four minute mile, and it was like
said that he couldn't do it.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
No one could run four miles in a minute, and
then a mile in four minute. Sorry, no one could
run a mile. You can run for a minute.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
It seems like a lot. This guy's amazing a mile
in four minutes. And then because the limitation was there, Oh,
no one can do that, it's impossible.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
He couldn't do it. No one had done it.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
But then when he just like broke through those barriers
and gave it a try, he could do it. And
then after that a lot of people ran a mile
in four minutes. Yeah, but it is, yeah, the four
minute mile, the four minute mile. So that just goes
to show that there's so many expectations and limitations imposed
on us by society, by people around us, by beliefs
(17:21):
you had when you were growing up, and it's all
like if you just stop and look at it as
an illusion, and then all of this is just made
up beliefs that we attached to and think is our reality,
but it's simply not, and just give things to go,
like try and debunk beliefs and create new realities because
nothing's really true, nothing's real. It sounds like I'm crazy,
(17:43):
but nothing's real, nothing's true, No beliefs are fact, and
it's up to you to just do whatever you want
at whatever time feels good for you, and don't worry
about anyone else.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
And like, truly, if you're not hurting anyone, I know
we said this in the last episode, if you're not
hurting anyone, there's not a reason not to, like, just
back yourself, believe in yourself, and go after it because
you have it inside you.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
And also what's out one of our favorite sayings, what's
the worst that can happen? What's the worst that could happen?
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Like with you with Posey, if you like, say you
started that, and like, the worst that can happen is
what it doesn't work out, or you don't have enough time,
or you don't love it. You okay, great, you stop
it and you've tried, and you feel good knowing that
that path wasn't for you because you gave it a go.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
And that's we were having this conversation last week too
with like We've been having a lot of changes happening
in our personal lives, both of us and I was
having a call with Cinda, my coach again shout out,
I'll probably talk about it all the time because she's
like my fairy godmother.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
And she was like, Jamie, what's the worst that could happen?
Speaker 1 (18:44):
You're making a problem out of something that's not a problem,
Like this is your own beliefs and mindset, Like I'm
looking at this from like objectively and from an outsider position,
like you're going to survive, You're going to have everything
you need, Like, stop making a problem out of something
that's not a problem. And our brains are like hardwired
to find problems and find solutions. That's how humans operate.
(19:06):
But we get stuck in the problem. We get stuck
in the problem, and no matter what level you're at
or what your life is, you will be able to
find a problem and what you focus on expands.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
It's like sometimes you know how you're really stuck in
a dilemma or you're ruminating in something and you're like
this is it, this is my fate, like and you're
so stuck in that, and then you talk to a
friend and they give you some inspiration or come up
with a different alternative or possibility, and you're like, oh, yeah,
like you're so right, this is this, or this is this,
You're so right, this is a whole new possibility or
opportunity that I could be in. And it's because they've
(19:39):
just proved all your thoughts wrong or provided some different insight. Yeah,
and that's why sometimes you just need to get out
of your head and not believe everything you think and
take it as reality because it's just thought based on
all the stuff we see in society.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Like it's and also like whenever there's a situation that
causes you know, triggers or emotions, we're seeing things from
a wounded place. So we're not actually seeing things as fact,
we're seeing it from a lens from our wounds, and
you can't see things, you know, in an expansive way
often when you're in that mindset. And when you just
(20:16):
come out of that and you step out of that,
you regulate your nervous system, which is why we're so
big on meditating and you know, doing all of those
things because it helps you drop back into your body
and see things clearly, because seeing them from that emotional
state where you're comparing or whatever, it's not a good
energy to be in and you're not going to see
things in the best case scenario. So, and speaking of expansive,
(20:42):
let's discuss it.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Let's discuss some people. We've found some people who've achieved
amazing things at different timelines that don't suit society's norms.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Let's get into these expanders.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
And we've chosen people that are quite famous because we
wanted everyone to kind of know their storyline little bit.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
So that's why they're so well known. That's by the famous, because.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
I'm talking about you know, me, Auntie or something. Hey
still counts, still counts. But we want them to really
resonate with you, to believe what is possible and that
you can have massive success stories later on in life.
You don't have to be ten year old sensation. So
we'll go one by one. First one I want to
(21:28):
bring in absolute. Goat Morgan Freeman. Morgan Freeman gained fame
at fifty two, fifty two fifty and look at him now.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
He is like household name, household name. Absolute.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Like, imagine Morgan Freeman being like forty, just living a
normal life.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
I wonder what he did.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Get the backstory. Maybe we'll do in a whole episode
on Morgan Freeman. We're good maybe we'll interview him please,
his voice is so laxy. I'd love my dream get
Morgan Freeman on the Rise Up doing meditations because like
bedtime stories.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
You know how Matthew McConaughey does that. Yes, we'll definitely
get Matthew McConaughey on the app.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Yeah, he'd love to do that. Bring shout it out
if you're listening. Next one is Vera Wang.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
She is a very common story, but she entered fashion
design at forty after a career in figure skating and journalism.
So Vera she dabbled us, She dabbled in different careers,
she tried different things, and it wasn't until she was
forty that she got into fashion design. And now she's
like a huge global designer. So absolute, Quin there go
(22:32):
absolutely the next one, drum roll please Oprah Winfree. Oprah
her true breakout with the Oprah Winfree Show, which is
you know the show.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
The show began at thirty two, but her empire building
came later, So I don't think that means she started
the show at thirty two.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
She didn't gain momentum till a while after that.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Anyway, Honestly, crazy here, I am worrying about signing a
business at twenty eight and there's Oprah. This is probably
one of my faves is a big goaded one. Colonel Sanders,
of course, founded KFC in his sixties.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Sixties.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Imagine coming up with the best fried chicken recipe in
the world when you're sixty and then having all these
changes and like his whole legacy has been after he's
been alive, Like that is nuts.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Yeah, it's Colonel still with us? No, absolutely not.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Oh, I think he was like in the fifties or
something like it was a long time ago.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
I don't really follow KFC as a vegetarian, so I'm
not really familiar with the backstory.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
I mean neither.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
But like everyone knows the Big Girl, well, I don't
know he could have, you know, if it's getting his
sixties currently. Yeah, he lives on the Gold Coast right now.
Should go check him out.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
The next one Martha Stuette.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
So she launched her first cookbook and business empire in
her forties, and she's like, what, everyone knows who Martha
Stewart is.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
But you know what I feel like, it's because when
you get to your like, you know, the thirties is
like the decade but you kind of discover yourself a
bit more and you get to know yoursel I feel
like after that is when you really have the confidence
and like the maturity to and resources back yourself and
go after it, which is a lot of people start
businesses in their early forties, fifties, sixties because there is
(24:14):
no time limit.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
You can know whenever you want. And that's the thing.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
I've also heard a lot of billionaires talk about how
they spent their twenties learning and trying things and figuring
it out and then building in their thirties or forties,
because you really need to learn and have the life
lessons and education and resources and all those things behind
you to give it a good go. Or you know,
business owners that have failed one hundred businesses, and the
(24:38):
one hundred of us it has.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Been absolute success.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
So it truly is like allow yourself grace because I think,
I know, being in my twenties, I've put the whole
pressure to have everything in the whole world figured out
by the time I turn thirty.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
But it's just not no. I feel like my life's
just going to get started in.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
My thirties, just getting started. And also, everything you've been
through is preparing you and giving you the experience and
knowledge you need for that perfect thing to happen at.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
The right time.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Like, what if everything you've been through in your twenties
is giving you the platform you need to start that
super successful thing or buy the house or find that
you know, dream partner or family, whatever it is in
your thirties or forties or fifties or whatever it is.
Trust one hundred percent and then one more. This is
a personal pative man. So Peter Garrett, the personal connection,
(25:29):
the personal connection I had to this one.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
So you're Australian. Everyone knows Peter Garrett.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
He's for Midnight Oil and so he was in this
really big band called Midnight Oil and had a lot
of success in that first and then he switched gears
and went into politics and became the Environment Minister in
his fifties.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Love that, Like how different are those Their songs were
like about environmental issues, weren't they. Yeah, So he's always
been passionate about it. I love that so much.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
And fun fact, my auntie is actually with the guitarist from.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Midnight Oil, so he's basically your uncle. Me and Peter
Garrett a tight and also second cousin was my year
five teacher. So me and Peter Garrett. It's like the
invisible string theory. I wonder if one day you guys
will be friends. Maybe all these connections are happening, and
then you meet him at the time when you're like
in his political party or something.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Yeah, maybe you are.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
We earning the midnight oil environmental minister in my probably seventies.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Watch out, Yeah, I shout out.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
So maral of the story. It is never too late.
Don't get caught in timelines. Especially, don't ever hold the
belief that you're too old to start something, because you
are not. You are right at the perfect time. Trust
that what is coming to you is exactly how it's
meant to unfold, and you are not behind.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
You're right on time. You're on your own timeline.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
And enjoy the journey. It's not always about the destination.
It's not always about achieving that thing, because I bet
once you achieve that thing, then you'll something else or
you want more. So enjoy the journey. That's what life
is about. Living in the moments in between, and like
they're the memories, that's what you remember most. That's the
whole point is living and enjoying the journey, So don't
(27:13):
just focus on the destination.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
