Speaker 1 (00:00):
I would like to acknowledge the traditional owners of the
land on which this episode is being recorded, the Combomb
Merry people. They've been having conversations and telling stories on
this land for thousands of years, and we show our
gratitude and respect for their contribution to our environment and culture.
(00:21):
This is Rise and Conquer, the podcast where we strive
to become the highest version of ourselves through curious conversations,
healthy mindsets, laughter, connection, and a deep desire to evolve.
I'm your host, Georgie Stevenson. Join me as we explore parenthood, business, manifestation,
(00:46):
and so much more. It's positive, it's practical, and it's
about putting you in the driver's seat of your own life.
Are you ready? Hello, my love than Welcome back to
the podcast. I am stepping out on my maternity leave
for a quick Q and a episode with you. I
(01:08):
just recorded my birth Story episode, which should already be up,
so if you haven't heard that, go and check that out.
But I thought I just would do a bit of
a Q and a a bit of a catch up.
It has been a hot minute and obviously I'm in
a whole new season. I'm currently on maternity leave. I've
got beautiful baby Lacey actually with us in the studio.
(01:32):
Jamie is looking after her. Why I do this? I
put a Q and a thing on my stories and
I'm just going to answer a whole bunch of questions.
We'll see where we go. I actually haven't even picked
the questions either. This is actually such a representation of
my current life. We're winging it. And also I definitely
feel the baby brain, so bear with me. First question,
(01:53):
how has the adjustment been from one to two kids?
Is it harder or easier from zero to who? Won?
I love this question. Obviously it's going to be so
different from family to family. I'm only eight weeks postpartum,
but I can hands down say zero to one is
so much harder. One to two kids kind of feels
(02:14):
like a breeze. Tim is a stay at home dad,
so I'm at home and he's at home, so he
looks after Ivy. I look after Lacey, so it's not
like I'm looking after Lacey and a toddler. That might
be a bit different. But in saying that, I'm still
sticking from zero to one is harder. That's also because
Ivy had colic and she was a very unsettled newborn,
(02:39):
and me and Tim just really struggled. We couldn't leave
the house until she was three months old. We couldn't
go down to the cafe to have a coffee, we
couldn't really do anything like that. She just cried twenty
four to seven. She was constantly upset, she woke up
all through the night. Then it wasn't until we put
her on a feed and sleep routine that she started
to set. And I think it's just because she had
(03:02):
an immature digestive system. I don't know. Also, just Ivy's
temperament even now as a toddler, it makes sense what
baby she was. And then Lacey's temperament. Guys, she's an
actual angel. She feeds and sleeps, and yeah, she's a newborn.
She cries and she has her unsettled moments, but easy
and it feels natural. And I think it's because we've
(03:24):
done it before. When you have your furs, you're like,
oh my god, am I doing it right? Is she okay?
You're constantly unsure of yourself. Now with Lacey, I feel
so sure of myself, And it's because we've done it before.
In saying that too, the gap between Lacey, and Ivy
is a lot bigger. So Ivy's three and a half,
(03:45):
She's four in November. She's out of nappy, she doesn't
have a bottle, she can dress herself, literally, she can
go get her own cereal, all those sorts of things.
So I think that age gap also plays into it,
because it's not like we're looking after two babies. It's
we're looking after a new and we're looking after a
little girl. One to two kids has felt like a
breeze compared to zero to one. Obviously other people feel different.
(04:08):
Next one is how did you pick Lacey's name? So
when I was a child, I loved babies. I had
newborn babies. Baby born's that sort of thing I used
to call my babies Lacey. I have no idea where
I got this name. I haven't met anyone called Lacey.
So when we were picking names, Tim picked Ivy's name
(04:31):
and I loved it, so we called her Ivy. I
picked her middle name, and then Tim was like, Okay,
because I picked Ivy's name, I'm happy for you to
pick this one's name. I really loved Lacey, and Tim
was like, I loved Lacey too, so went with Lacey.
And her middle name is May spelled Mae, and that's
because Tim's grandma Vell May. We called her May. Tim's
(04:54):
Grammar's like the most gorgeous person. She's still alive and
she's one hundred years old, kicking Liz by herself. She's fabulous.
She's still dresses and pearls and dresses and very special.
And yeah, I don't know. I'm just obsessed with her name.
Which healing is faster for you, a sea section or
vaginal birth? Oh my god, vaginal birth so much faster.
(05:16):
The sea section. I'm just gonna say. It was fucked up,
like so brutal. I personally would never opt for a
sea section. If I had the choice, I would have
done a vaginal birth with Lacey, but obviously because of
being a higherst pregnancy emergency sea section, it is what
it is. It was fine, but the recovery was pretty hardcore,
(05:38):
and even now you can still kind of feel the
sea section scar and all those sorts of things. I
would have definitely preferred a vaginal birth. You cannot pick. Sometimes,
how is Ivy girl going with the transition? Ivy is
just so obsessed with Lacey. I think because of Ivy's
age being three and a half nearly four. During my pregnancy,
(06:01):
she had so much warmer. We'd constantly say, having a
baby's sister, and you guys can do this together. Mummy's
having a baby, and we just really gave her a
lot of warm up of the transition. I think that
is key now with Lacey here, I try to include
Ivy as much as possible. When I'm changing Lacey's nappy,
(06:22):
Ivy helps me with one of the sides. Ivy has
her own baby, which she has called Lacey two, will
change her baby, will hold her baby. And I think
being sisters, and Ivy's such a girl's girl. She's just
like so smitten and so obsessed and it's so funny.
She goes, oh, little bubba, little dunning baba. She's so
(06:43):
sweet with Lacey. It's just the best. No jealousy, no nothing.
I think the age BAP is where it's at has
been really really good. She's obsessed, she can dress herself,
she can do all those sorts of things, and Tim
still has a lot of time for her. Don't feel
like she feels she's got less attention or anything like that.
What are your go to baby purchases for a first
(07:06):
time mum. So on Instagram, I'd done a post of
my hospital bag so you can go check out that
if you're prepping for hospital. It's really simple. I think
off the top of my head, you obviously need a bassinet.
Baby sleeps in a bassinet side your bed for the
first couple months. That's really important. I'm big on swaddling
(07:28):
Lacey and I did the same with Ivy. I just
find Lacey's sleeps so much better, so getting good swaddles.
I love the Ogo pouch ones. You gotta get the
cop furniture dresses, a change matt, all those sorts of things.
And a big thing too that I highly recommend is
a feeding chair that is electric, just because if you're
(07:52):
all nice and comfy and then you're trying to get
out with a newborn, you don't awake them. It's like
to get out of those chairs if they're not electric
or really really I used a breastfeeding pillow two, which
is a really handy, a night light that has a
red light, and a sound machine I use for Lacey.
You can buy so much. I think get the basics
(08:14):
and if you feel like you need something by on
top of that because otherwise usually buy a lot of
things that you don't use. Also, the baby cocoons, the
baby nests are really good, and also the Snotty body,
which is this suction thing that gets out snot highly recommend.
How did you get through IVF? What was your mentality
(08:35):
behind it? We did IVF to get Lacy Girl, and
we actually had a pretty traumatic IVF experience where we
did an egg retrieval. We got twenty eggs, eight were fertilized,
and when I went for the embryo transfer, we actually
found out that they had accidentally killed the eight embryos
(08:58):
because they put the wrong sol in them when they
went to freeze them, and then we had to do
the whole thing again. I know, like actual shit show.
But despite all that with IVF, the biggest advice I
can give you is to get to the point of
doing IVF is you're really focused on having a baby
and you're really trying to control the situation. I want
(09:21):
to have a baby, I need to have a baby.
There's a lot of emotions attached around it, and the
biggest advice I can give you going through two long
infertility journeys, first with iv and then with Lacey is
obviously you're doing the things to have the baby, but
if you can make sure mentally you have other stuff
happening and that's not your sole focus. That was really
(09:45):
helpful for me because when you kind of put all
your eggs in one basket and you're like, I need
to get pregnant this month, it's such a stress and
pressure that it's kind of doing the opposite. It's like
what they say, just go on holidays and you'll get pregnant,
And the kind of mentality behind that is you not stressing.
And so if you are going through IVF, I would
(10:06):
just make sure you're filling up your cup. In other
areas your self care. Can you be getting yourself a
massage or whatever you want to do for self care,
whether it's walking outside, Make sure you're meditating every day.
We have some really great meditations in the Rise, app
regulating your nervous system, making sure you're ticking off your
(10:26):
health things, whether it's having your green juice, having your creating,
those sorts of things. And just make sure you're filling
up your friend bucket, your career or passion bucket, just
because it can get all consuming. And I found in
the first journey with infertility. With Ivy, it was all
consuming and I didn't enjoy it, whereas with Lacey, I
(10:49):
went through infertility, but I still enjoyed that year. I
still had such a magical year. I still ticked off goals,
I still did things with friends, I still traveled for me.
I don't even think of that year as an infertility year.
I just think of it as we were trying to
get pregnant, and I had a very different experience. So
that's what I would say for that. What if some
(11:11):
movies shows books that you're catching up on whilst on
maternity leave. I love this. I'll put this on my
stories because it'll be easier. But just off the top
of my head, I've watched four seasons on Netflix Sirens.
I've watched on stand there's a show called Hunting Wives.
It's so rogue, but I really really like it. Sorry,
(11:34):
I'm honestly just watching what's new. And then in regards
to reading, I did start reading The Throne of Glass,
but then I kind of stoped reading it because it
was just there was a lot happening. And I've actually
started reading this new book Remaining You while Raising Them
and it's the Secret Art of Confident Motherhood by Alie Worthington,
(11:57):
and it's really good. She's kind of just talking about
how to kind of like not lose yourself in motherhood
and that has been good. And then I've also been
reading the Power of Your Subconscious Mind by Joseph Murphy
that is really really good. And he's also got another
book called The Miracles of Your Mind, which I've read
and loved. If you want more of a self development
(12:19):
a recommendation. So when asks how do you manifest things
so easily? I have tried for years and nothing. Okay.
So I think manifestation can get such an interesting bad
rap because people think, because it's so trendy on TikTok
and social media, that it's I just wish for something
and it happens, and that's just not the case. So
(12:42):
true manifestation. I'm going to break it down for you
very very simple. It's three steps. So first of all,
you have to be clear on what you want. So
a desire. It could be I want a car, It
could be a specific desire like that, or it could
be an identity desire of I want to become a
person who's confident so it doesn't really matter what it is,
(13:03):
but it's you actually have to be clear on what
you want or who you want to be. The second
thing is you have to rewrite your belief system, because
your current reality what you have currently manifested and guys
were manifesting twenty four to seven, whether you lack it
or not. So your current reality is a direct reflection
(13:25):
of your current manifestations and your belief systems inside. So
maybe you have a belief system that money is hard
to come by, and therefore your reality feels like money
is hard to come by. Maybe you have a belief
system around I'm never picked, I'm unlucky in love, and
then therefore your reality is you constantly attract fuck boys
(13:48):
or people who treat you like shit. So anything that
is happening in your reality, you will find that you
then have a direct correlation with a belief system that
is the reason why that is happening to you or
that you're experiencing. That first step, get clarity. The second
step with the clarity of that desire or who you
(14:10):
want to be, what is the belief system that matches that.
So let's say you want to be a millionaire. Obviously
the belief system of money is hard to come by,
is not going to match that the belief system would
need to be I gain wealth easily, money is easy
to attract. There is money everywhere. I'm constantly attracting money, etc. Etc.
(14:33):
So you need to really think, Okay, what are my
current beliefs and what are the beliefs that I need
to start embodying. And then the third step is embodying
those beliefs. The caveat with that is you need to
be stepping into a new identity, but what you will
experience is your current identity. So let me explain it
(14:57):
in a different way. To become common confident, there will
be let's say this lag time where you don't actually
feel confident, but you will have to show up like
you're confident, and eventually you will feel confident if you
embody that archetype and that person enough. But there will
be a lag time. So during the lag time when
(15:21):
your three D your reality is representing your old beliefs,
you need to regulate your nervous system. Guys, if this
is the one thing that you kind of learn from
this episode, you need to be able to regulate your
nervous system. So then you're able to think straight and
be like, I understand what's currently happening in my reality
(15:42):
is just it's old news. It's an old belief, So
you're not reacting to it. You're not thinking, oh shit,
no I am someone with no money. You're realizing, Okay,
what's currently happening in the three D is from old me.
But I'm new me, and new me thinks and feels
this way, so I don't have to be worried about
this thing. I don't have to be worried about this bill.
(16:04):
And that's where I feel everyone kind of stuffs up
with manifesting, And where you could possibly be going wrong
is are you regulating yourself so when you're embodying the
new identity, the new archetype, you aren't getting disregulated and
going back into the old beliefs. So again, very clearly,
(16:25):
be clear on who you want to be, what is
their belief system. Be regulating your nervous system so you
can constantly step into that new belief system, not revert
to the old one. And that's what I would say
is how I manifest things so easily is I know
these three or four steps, and I'm doing them in
(16:47):
every second, I'm not sitting down and doing it in
my journal. Yes, I do journal, but I'm constantly doing
these steps. For example, yesterday I had a couple of
calls for work, which I only take once a week,
and I was starting to feel a bit anxious, and
I was starting to go back into the old identity
of Georgie who went back to work sooner, and I
(17:09):
was like, oh, does work need me? And I identified
that thought and I was like, no, that's old Georgie.
I don't actually have to feel anxious right now. And
so again I regulated my nervous system. I literally did
a quick seven minute regulate your nervous system frequency audio
on the Rise app. I can link it in the
(17:30):
show notes. And then I was like, yeah, I don't
have to actually be anxious in that moment. That's actually
an old story, an old identity. And so at every
single moment in my day, I'm actually intentionally manifesting. And
I feel that's why I'm able to bring in new
realities and desires so fast is because I've done this work.
(17:52):
I know how it works, but I'm constantly embodying it.
I'm not just doing it on a full moon. I'm
not just doing it once a month. I'm doing it
in every single moment. And of course, if you don't
know these steps, if it doesn't feel natural for you,
this is what I teach. I would recommend to the
Manifesting Foundation's Kit, which is a new bundle we've put
(18:13):
together which has the project fast tracked, which is Manifesting
one oh one. It has your template, and it has
a masterclass, and that will help you get to where
I am. That's everything that I've done, So I'll also
link that for you in the show notes because it's
at an incredible price of just two two two, which
I think is about half price. So that's what I
(18:34):
would say why it's quote unquote so easy for me.

via the link in the show notes, someone said, having
my second baby worrying my love my first is too
strong to love a second as much. I also thought this,
(19:59):
especially because being pregnant, me and Ivy were just ridiculously
in love with each other. And I feel it's because
you release this hormone when you're pregnant and your toddler
gets extra obsessed with you. I would just say, do
not worry, because your heart grows. I feel like I
still have all that love for Ivy, but my heart
has just doubled in size, and I feel the exact
(20:19):
same love for Lacey. I would say, do not worry
about that. There's definitely difficult moments when I'm breastfeeding Lacey
and Ivy wants me and she's upset, and vice versa.
You just figure it out, and your family grows and
your heart grows, and it's honestly just the best. Even
the little glimpses that I see now of Lacey and Ivy,
I just know that this was the best decision and
(20:41):
they're just going to have the best childhood together as sisters.
How are you managing to do it all? I have
two kids and abys with my hobby, and I'm really struggling.
I definitely feel for you, and I just want to
say my experience now is so different to my experience
with Ivy, and it's because I'm in such a different
(21:03):
season of my life. Like when I had Ivy, my
businesses were still quite in their infancy and they still
needed me, so I needed to come back sooner. I
needed to be more involved. It's just what was required
of me during that season, and it's just what it
had to be. Whereas with Lacey, I was very intentional.
(21:25):
As soon as I got pregnant. I was making plans
with my teams so I could have a six month
maternity so they would be fine without me. Me and
him are very lucky where he can be a stay
at home dad, so I have a lot of support
if I do need to do a work call or
if I do need to do something. It's kind of
hard because you kind of don't know till you're then
(21:46):
in it that you probably needed to prepare more. But
I would just say, if you are a business woman
and you do want to experience a certain sort of season,
you do have to prepare for it. Maybe right now
you just have to get through it, not that it
has to be a struggle. You might just have to
get through it while knowing as your business continues, things
(22:07):
will change. As your babies develop, things will change, and
understand that you will go through certain seasons. The belief
system behind this, too is I would start being very
clear in your journal or however you manifest or call
things in how you want to feel. So I would
be journaling I wake up and this happens, and I
(22:28):
feel this way, my kids work in with my business,
this way, my husband start getting really clear best case scenario,
what would your life look like? And I would be
journaling on that. And I would be focusing on that,
because what our brain does is whatever you focus on,
it finds more of. So what you could be during
(22:49):
this time instead of even then use the words I'm struggling.
If you're saying things like it's hard, I'm struggling, etc.
Even though that is truth for you at that moment,
you will find that you will attract more of that
because that's what you're focusing on. For me, it was
all about preparing my team and whatnot. But obviously you
(23:10):
can't do that right now. But it's can you start journaling.
Can you start reshifting your focus to what you actually
want to call in and what you desire start finding
expanders for this. We actually have a really great expander's freebie,
which I'll put in the show notes of what that
is if you don't know what it is. But basically,
an expander is someone who is doing what you want
(23:33):
and understand their belief system. For example, I might be
your expander, and my belief system around having two kids
and a business is I'm supported. It's easy. I never
have to rush. I always get done what I need
to get done, and what I didn't get done wasn't important.
(23:53):
The right opportunities are always coming to me. Money is
always coming to me. I'm always abundant. I don't have
to worry. I am supported by the right team and
the right people, and the people who aren't right fall away.
All these things are my belief system around my current reality,
and then that's what is my reality. So I would
(24:14):
say for you, I would start getting really clear on
what you do want your reality to be, and I
would be journaling, I'd be visualizing. I would be putting
pen to paper, regulating my nervous system and focusing on that,
because you will be so shocked how quickly your reality
can shift and change without anything actually changing. It's just
(24:37):
your mental state has changed, and how much better you
can feel with just hoping. Does Lacey complete your family
or would you try for another down the track? Okay,
so since having Lacey, I am already so clucky and
it like I already said to all the work girls,
I'm like, give me a hundred. I want a hundred
(24:58):
babies if that's going to change me. And Tim always
said we only wanted two kids. I have always said
I could want three. Tim has always been set on
the two. So look, I don't feel like our family
is complete. I would happily have another baby, but it
obviously takes two to tango and it will definitely be
(25:20):
up to Tim. But also I can envision him with
a little boy, so I feel like I may be
able to get him over the line. But also if
we had three girls, I don't know how he's meant
to be. So yeah, I don't know. I personally would
love another, but we need to get Tim over the lion.
So bear with me. Okay, this is a good question.
(25:42):
My partner is a pessimous, low vibe and is negative
about my goals. Will this affect my manifestation? First of all,
why you with this partner? No, that's brutal, but I yes,
I can understand this can happen with partners and friends.
I would say to this, no one can make you
feel a certain way. Only you have complete control over
(26:05):
your emotions. So I would just be putting in energetic
boundaries with your partner, and I would honestly not be
talking about your manifestations and goals with him if he's
going to act like that, Because when you are manifesting,
when you're claiming a new desire, it takes enough of
your own energy to get on the energetic alignment of it,
(26:27):
So to convince him too would be exhausting. So I
would just say, put in your energetic boundaries with him.
You don't have to talk about it. Obviously, that's a
very hard situation, And I'm just going to say it, like,
that sucks that you don't have that support from him,
but it doesn't mean that you cannot manifest whatever you're
manifesting and calling your desires. It just means that he
(26:51):
kind of can't meet you, he can't support you, which sucks,
but that doesn't affect your desires. Just don't let that
affect how you feel. How how long do you plan two breastfeed?
I planned a breastfeed for twelve months. I had a
very different breastfeeding journey with Ivy. It only lasted six
(27:12):
because we started giving her a bottle very early on
so Tim could kind of be involved, and then she
got bottle preference and she literally would not go on
the breast. So we ended up stopping at six months.
And that's because I was like pumping the last couple
of months and it was just exhausting and not enjoyable,
and I just really regret that situation. So with Lacey,
(27:32):
we actually haven't given her a bottle. She did have
a bottle in the special Care nursery, but other than
that and maybe one bottle randomly because I had an
appointment or something. She hasn't had a bottle, and so
I'm not going to do it the bottle. And I
know this might then be difficult later on with work
or whatnot, but I'm just going to make it work
because twelve months and the grand scheme of things is
not a long time and I really just want to
(27:54):
make sure I can breastfeed Lacey. But I do understand
that this might change and my feelings might change. At
the moment, we have a really great breastfeeding journey. She
latter really well for a PREMI and she feeds somewhat well.
Sometimes she's a bit like off and on and a
bit funny, but mostly she feeds really well. So I
am going to try for the twelve months, but look,
we will see how we go. Last question, which is
(28:16):
a manifesting question. How can you truly believe something is
for you when you don't have it or you can't
see how. So I'm thinking this question is in regards
to manifesting technique is go to the end where you
have that thing and you're experiencing that thing, and that's
how you call it in. And the thing, guys, is
(28:38):
this is just a technique. So this is just something
to help your manifestation. Come in faster or come in.
But if you don't vibe with it, you don't have
to use it. It's not a requirement. It's just something
to help you. It's just something to help you get
on the vibe. But if you are struggling in regards
to maybe the logic of it, if you think of
(28:59):
any think before you have anything. It can feel, Oh,
I don't know when that thing's going to come in.
I don't know how it's going to come in. And
then it comes in and you're like, Wow, that came
in such an interesting way. If something has happened previously
where you're oh, that came in such a weird and
wonderful way, go back to that. And buildings can come
in really unusual or interesting and going back to your
(29:22):
past experience or otherwise. This is a whole surrender part
of manifesting. And I really love to go back to
the concept of seeing Universe, God, source, Oneness, whatever you
want to call, the one consciousness as the parent and
then we are the child. I don't know if you
have children, but with my toddler, Ivy, she wants jelly
(29:46):
right before bed, and I'm like, I know her having
sugar right before bed is not the vibe. She's not
going to sleep, she's going to be hyperactive, blah blah blah.
And so I'm like, you can't have jelly right before bed,
but we can have it tomorrow. She's a toddler, so
she doesn't unders stand there, So she's having a tantrum.
She's upset, she thinks I'm the worst person ever. Anyway,
she goes to sleep, she wakes up, she has the
(30:07):
jelly happy days like that situation. We are the child,
we are ivy. We cannot see that it's just around
the corner that's actually going to happen tomorrow, that it's
going to happen in this way that I'm actually going
to feel so much better when I have it. Because
we are the child, we don't understand all the moving
parts happening. How could we. When you kind of learn
how to surrender and you trust that you're supported, you're guided,
(30:31):
it's going to come to you. You just have to
sit back and enjoy. You realize that's the whole point
of manifesting. It's not I'm manifesting something and I feel
really shit, shit shit, and then I manifest the thing
and I feel good. You get to feel good the
whole time. And so when you can lean back into
(30:52):
surrender and you can feel supported, that feels good, doesn't
it When you understand that that's the whole cosmic joke
I guess is you don't actually need this thing to
feel that feeling. You can feel that feeling of that
thing right now. And let's be honest, that's the only
reason why we want something. We want the car because
(31:13):
we want freedom, or we want luxury, we want the
house because we want security. We don't actually want the
physical thing or the desire. We're chasing a feeling. So
when you can give that feeling to yourself now or
just know the feeling is coming, that is so powerful
and what a beautiful way to live, rather than constantly
(31:34):
starving yourself from the feeling, thinking the thing is going
to give you the feeling. No, you feel the feeling
first and then the desire comes. And that's kind of
why I find it so easy to believe in the
unknown and to believe in things I cannot see, because
it has happened so many times before, and I'm just
(31:55):
so deeply surrendered in my manifesting work and the laws
of the universe and all that sort of thing. And again,
if you feel that way, I would highly recommend the
Manifesting Foundations bundle. It will blow your socks offs. It
will change your whole life because when you understand these
principles and you embody them, this stuff gets really easy
(32:16):
and it feels really really good. All Right, my loves,
I'm going to love and leave you on that note.
I hope you have loved this Q and A. I
will be doing a bit more on my stories now
that I'm kind of eight weeks postpartum, but I really
needed some time to just be with Lacy, with the family.
But I will be a bit more active on socials.

Are you ready? Hello, my love than Welcome back to
the podcast. I am stepping out on my maternity leave
for a quick Q and a episode with you. I
(01:08):
just recorded my birth Story episode, which should already be up,
so if you haven't heard that, go and check that out.
But I thought I just would do a bit of
a Q and a a bit of a catch up.
It has been a hot minute and obviously I'm in
a whole new season. I'm currently on maternity leave. I've
got beautiful baby Lacey actually with us in the studio.
(01:32):
Jamie is looking after her. Why I do this? I
put a Q and a thing on my stories and
I'm just going to answer a whole bunch of questions.
We'll see where we go. I actually haven't even picked
the questions either. This is actually such a representation of
my current life. We're winging it. And also I definitely
feel the baby brain, so bear with me. First question,
(01:53):
how has the adjustment been from one to two kids?
Is it harder or easier from zero to who? Won?
I love this question. Obviously it's going to be so
different from family to family. I'm only eight weeks postpartum,
but I can hands down say zero to one is
so much harder. One to two kids kind of feels
(02:14):
like a breeze. Tim is a stay at home dad,
so I'm at home and he's at home, so he
looks after Ivy. I look after Lacey, so it's not
like I'm looking after Lacey and a toddler. That might
be a bit different. But in saying that, I'm still
sticking from zero to one is harder. That's also because
Ivy had colic and she was a very unsettled newborn,
(02:39):
and me and Tim just really struggled. We couldn't leave
the house until she was three months old. We couldn't
go down to the cafe to have a coffee, we
couldn't really do anything like that. She just cried twenty
four to seven. She was constantly upset, she woke up
all through the night. Then it wasn't until we put
her on a feed and sleep routine that she started
to set. And I think it's just because she had
(03:02):
an immature digestive system. I don't know. Also, just Ivy's
temperament even now as a toddler, it makes sense what
baby she was. And then Lacey's temperament. Guys, she's an
actual angel. She feeds and sleeps, and yeah, she's a newborn.
She cries and she has her unsettled moments, but easy
and it feels natural. And I think it's because we've
(03:24):
done it before. When you have your furs, you're like,
oh my god, am I doing it right? Is she okay?
You're constantly unsure of yourself. Now with Lacey, I feel
so sure of myself, And it's because we've done it before.
In saying that too, the gap between Lacey, and Ivy
is a lot bigger. So Ivy's three and a half,
(03:45):
She's four in November. She's out of nappy, she doesn't
have a bottle, she can dress herself, literally, she can
go get her own cereal, all those sorts of things.
So I think that age gap also plays into it,
because it's not like we're looking after two babies. It's
we're looking after a new and we're looking after a
little girl. One to two kids has felt like a
breeze compared to zero to one. Obviously other people feel different.
(04:08):
Next one is how did you pick Lacey's name? So
when I was a child, I loved babies. I had
newborn babies. Baby born's that sort of thing I used
to call my babies Lacey. I have no idea where
I got this name. I haven't met anyone called Lacey.
So when we were picking names, Tim picked Ivy's name
(04:31):
and I loved it, so we called her Ivy. I
picked her middle name, and then Tim was like, Okay,
because I picked Ivy's name, I'm happy for you to
pick this one's name. I really loved Lacey, and Tim
was like, I loved Lacey too, so went with Lacey.
And her middle name is May spelled Mae, and that's
because Tim's grandma Vell May. We called her May. Tim's
(04:54):
Grammar's like the most gorgeous person. She's still alive and
she's one hundred years old, kicking Liz by herself. She's fabulous.
She's still dresses and pearls and dresses and very special.
And yeah, I don't know. I'm just obsessed with her name.
Which healing is faster for you, a sea section or
vaginal birth? Oh my god, vaginal birth so much faster.
(05:16):
The sea section. I'm just gonna say. It was fucked up,
like so brutal. I personally would never opt for a
sea section. If I had the choice, I would have
done a vaginal birth with Lacey, but obviously because of
being a higherst pregnancy emergency sea section, it is what
it is. It was fine, but the recovery was pretty hardcore,
(05:38):
and even now you can still kind of feel the
sea section scar and all those sorts of things. I
would have definitely preferred a vaginal birth. You cannot pick. Sometimes,
how is Ivy girl going with the transition? Ivy is
just so obsessed with Lacey. I think because of Ivy's
age being three and a half nearly four. During my pregnancy,
(06:01):
she had so much warmer. We'd constantly say, having a
baby's sister, and you guys can do this together. Mummy's
having a baby, and we just really gave her a
lot of warm up of the transition. I think that
is key now with Lacey here, I try to include
Ivy as much as possible. When I'm changing Lacey's nappy,
(06:22):
Ivy helps me with one of the sides. Ivy has
her own baby, which she has called Lacey two, will
change her baby, will hold her baby. And I think
being sisters, and Ivy's such a girl's girl. She's just
like so smitten and so obsessed and it's so funny.
She goes, oh, little bubba, little dunning baba. She's so
(06:43):
sweet with Lacey. It's just the best. No jealousy, no nothing.
I think the age BAP is where it's at has
been really really good. She's obsessed, she can dress herself,
she can do all those sorts of things, and Tim
still has a lot of time for her. Don't feel
like she feels she's got less attention or anything like that.
What are your go to baby purchases for a first
(07:06):
time mum. So on Instagram, I'd done a post of
my hospital bag so you can go check out that
if you're prepping for hospital. It's really simple. I think
off the top of my head, you obviously need a bassinet.
Baby sleeps in a bassinet side your bed for the
first couple months. That's really important. I'm big on swaddling
(07:28):
Lacey and I did the same with Ivy. I just
find Lacey's sleeps so much better, so getting good swaddles.
I love the Ogo pouch ones. You gotta get the
cop furniture dresses, a change matt, all those sorts of things.
And a big thing too that I highly recommend is
a feeding chair that is electric, just because if you're
(07:52):
all nice and comfy and then you're trying to get
out with a newborn, you don't awake them. It's like
to get out of those chairs if they're not electric
or really really I used a breastfeeding pillow two, which
is a really handy, a night light that has a
red light, and a sound machine I use for Lacey.
You can buy so much. I think get the basics
(08:14):
and if you feel like you need something by on
top of that because otherwise usually buy a lot of
things that you don't use. Also, the baby cocoons, the
baby nests are really good, and also the Snotty body,
which is this suction thing that gets out snot highly recommend.
How did you get through IVF? What was your mentality
(08:35):
behind it? We did IVF to get Lacy Girl, and
we actually had a pretty traumatic IVF experience where we
did an egg retrieval. We got twenty eggs, eight were fertilized,
and when I went for the embryo transfer, we actually
found out that they had accidentally killed the eight embryos
(08:58):
because they put the wrong sol in them when they
went to freeze them, and then we had to do
the whole thing again. I know, like actual shit show.
But despite all that with IVF, the biggest advice I
can give you is to get to the point of
doing IVF is you're really focused on having a baby
and you're really trying to control the situation. I want
(09:21):
to have a baby, I need to have a baby.
There's a lot of emotions attached around it, and the
biggest advice I can give you going through two long
infertility journeys, first with iv and then with Lacey is
obviously you're doing the things to have the baby, but
if you can make sure mentally you have other stuff
happening and that's not your sole focus. That was really
(09:45):
helpful for me because when you kind of put all
your eggs in one basket and you're like, I need
to get pregnant this month, it's such a stress and
pressure that it's kind of doing the opposite. It's like
what they say, just go on holidays and you'll get pregnant,
And the kind of mentality behind that is you not stressing.
And so if you are going through IVF, I would
(10:06):
just make sure you're filling up your cup. In other
areas your self care. Can you be getting yourself a
massage or whatever you want to do for self care,
whether it's walking outside, Make sure you're meditating every day.
We have some really great meditations in the Rise, app
regulating your nervous system, making sure you're ticking off your
(10:26):
health things, whether it's having your green juice, having your creating,
those sorts of things. And just make sure you're filling
up your friend bucket, your career or passion bucket, just
because it can get all consuming. And I found in
the first journey with infertility. With Ivy, it was all
consuming and I didn't enjoy it, whereas with Lacey, I
(10:49):
went through infertility, but I still enjoyed that year. I
still had such a magical year. I still ticked off goals,
I still did things with friends, I still traveled for me.
I don't even think of that year as an infertility year.
I just think of it as we were trying to
get pregnant, and I had a very different experience. So
that's what I would say for that. What if some
(11:11):
movies shows books that you're catching up on whilst on
maternity leave. I love this. I'll put this on my
stories because it'll be easier. But just off the top
of my head, I've watched four seasons on Netflix Sirens.
I've watched on stand there's a show called Hunting Wives.
It's so rogue, but I really really like it. Sorry,
(11:34):
I'm honestly just watching what's new. And then in regards
to reading, I did start reading The Throne of Glass,
but then I kind of stoped reading it because it
was just there was a lot happening. And I've actually
started reading this new book Remaining You while Raising Them
and it's the Secret Art of Confident Motherhood by Alie Worthington,
(11:57):
and it's really good. She's kind of just talking about
how to kind of like not lose yourself in motherhood
and that has been good. And then I've also been
reading the Power of Your Subconscious Mind by Joseph Murphy
that is really really good. And he's also got another
book called The Miracles of Your Mind, which I've read
and loved. If you want more of a self development
(12:19):
a recommendation. So when asks how do you manifest things
so easily? I have tried for years and nothing. Okay.
So I think manifestation can get such an interesting bad
rap because people think, because it's so trendy on TikTok
and social media, that it's I just wish for something
and it happens, and that's just not the case. So
(12:42):
true manifestation. I'm going to break it down for you
very very simple. It's three steps. So first of all,
you have to be clear on what you want. So
a desire. It could be I want a car, It
could be a specific desire like that, or it could
be an identity desire of I want to become a
person who's confident so it doesn't really matter what it is,
(13:03):
but it's you actually have to be clear on what
you want or who you want to be. The second
thing is you have to rewrite your belief system, because
your current reality what you have currently manifested and guys
were manifesting twenty four to seven, whether you lack it
or not. So your current reality is a direct reflection
(13:25):
of your current manifestations and your belief systems inside. So
maybe you have a belief system that money is hard
to come by, and therefore your reality feels like money
is hard to come by. Maybe you have a belief
system around I'm never picked, I'm unlucky in love, and
then therefore your reality is you constantly attract fuck boys
(13:48):
or people who treat you like shit. So anything that
is happening in your reality, you will find that you
then have a direct correlation with a belief system that
is the reason why that is happening to you or
that you're experiencing. That first step, get clarity. The second
step with the clarity of that desire or who you
(14:10):
want to be, what is the belief system that matches that.
So let's say you want to be a millionaire. Obviously
the belief system of money is hard to come by,
is not going to match that the belief system would
need to be I gain wealth easily, money is easy
to attract. There is money everywhere. I'm constantly attracting money, etc. Etc.
(14:33):
So you need to really think, Okay, what are my
current beliefs and what are the beliefs that I need
to start embodying. And then the third step is embodying
those beliefs. The caveat with that is you need to
be stepping into a new identity, but what you will
experience is your current identity. So let me explain it
(14:57):
in a different way. To become common confident, there will
be let's say this lag time where you don't actually
feel confident, but you will have to show up like
you're confident, and eventually you will feel confident if you
embody that archetype and that person enough. But there will
be a lag time. So during the lag time when
(15:21):
your three D your reality is representing your old beliefs,
you need to regulate your nervous system. Guys, if this
is the one thing that you kind of learn from
this episode, you need to be able to regulate your
nervous system. So then you're able to think straight and
be like, I understand what's currently happening in my reality
(15:42):
is just it's old news. It's an old belief, So
you're not reacting to it. You're not thinking, oh shit,
no I am someone with no money. You're realizing, Okay,
what's currently happening in the three D is from old me.
But I'm new me, and new me thinks and feels
this way, so I don't have to be worried about
this thing. I don't have to be worried about this bill.
(16:04):
And that's where I feel everyone kind of stuffs up
with manifesting, And where you could possibly be going wrong
is are you regulating yourself so when you're embodying the
new identity, the new archetype, you aren't getting disregulated and
going back into the old beliefs. So again, very clearly,
(16:25):
be clear on who you want to be, what is
their belief system. Be regulating your nervous system so you
can constantly step into that new belief system, not revert
to the old one. And that's what I would say
is how I manifest things so easily is I know
these three or four steps, and I'm doing them in
(16:47):
every second, I'm not sitting down and doing it in
my journal. Yes, I do journal, but I'm constantly doing
these steps. For example, yesterday I had a couple of
calls for work, which I only take once a week,
and I was starting to feel a bit anxious, and
I was starting to go back into the old identity
of Georgie who went back to work sooner, and I
(17:09):
was like, oh, does work need me? And I identified
that thought and I was like, no, that's old Georgie.
I don't actually have to feel anxious right now. And
so again I regulated my nervous system. I literally did
a quick seven minute regulate your nervous system frequency audio
on the Rise app. I can link it in the
(17:30):
show notes. And then I was like, yeah, I don't
have to actually be anxious in that moment. That's actually
an old story, an old identity. And so at every
single moment in my day, I'm actually intentionally manifesting. And
I feel that's why I'm able to bring in new
realities and desires so fast is because I've done this work.
(17:52):
I know how it works, but I'm constantly embodying it.
I'm not just doing it on a full moon. I'm
not just doing it once a month. I'm doing it
in every single moment. And of course, if you don't
know these steps, if it doesn't feel natural for you,
this is what I teach. I would recommend to the
Manifesting Foundation's Kit, which is a new bundle we've put
(18:13):
together which has the project fast tracked, which is Manifesting
one oh one. It has your template, and it has
a masterclass, and that will help you get to where
I am. That's everything that I've done, So I'll also
link that for you in the show notes because it's
at an incredible price of just two two two, which
I think is about half price. So that's what I
(18:34):
would say why it's quote unquote so easy for me.

via the link in the show notes, someone said, having
my second baby worrying my love my first is too
strong to love a second as much. I also thought this,
(19:59):
especially because being pregnant, me and Ivy were just ridiculously
in love with each other. And I feel it's because
you release this hormone when you're pregnant and your toddler
gets extra obsessed with you. I would just say, do
not worry, because your heart grows. I feel like I
still have all that love for Ivy, but my heart
has just doubled in size, and I feel the exact
(20:19):
same love for Lacey. I would say, do not worry
about that. There's definitely difficult moments when I'm breastfeeding Lacey
and Ivy wants me and she's upset, and vice versa.
You just figure it out, and your family grows and
your heart grows, and it's honestly just the best. Even
the little glimpses that I see now of Lacey and Ivy,
I just know that this was the best decision and
(20:41):
they're just going to have the best childhood together as sisters.
How are you managing to do it all? I have
two kids and abys with my hobby, and I'm really struggling.
I definitely feel for you, and I just want to
say my experience now is so different to my experience
with Ivy, and it's because I'm in such a different
(21:03):
season of my life. Like when I had Ivy, my
businesses were still quite in their infancy and they still
needed me, so I needed to come back sooner. I
needed to be more involved. It's just what was required
of me during that season, and it's just what it
had to be. Whereas with Lacey, I was very intentional.
(21:25):
As soon as I got pregnant. I was making plans
with my teams so I could have a six month
maternity so they would be fine without me. Me and
him are very lucky where he can be a stay
at home dad, so I have a lot of support
if I do need to do a work call or
if I do need to do something. It's kind of
hard because you kind of don't know till you're then
(21:46):
in it that you probably needed to prepare more. But
I would just say, if you are a business woman
and you do want to experience a certain sort of season,
you do have to prepare for it. Maybe right now
you just have to get through it, not that it
has to be a struggle. You might just have to
get through it while knowing as your business continues, things
(22:07):
will change. As your babies develop, things will change, and
understand that you will go through certain seasons. The belief
system behind this, too is I would start being very
clear in your journal or however you manifest or call
things in how you want to feel. So I would
be journaling I wake up and this happens, and I
(22:28):
feel this way, my kids work in with my business,
this way, my husband start getting really clear best case scenario,
what would your life look like? And I would be
journaling on that. And I would be focusing on that,
because what our brain does is whatever you focus on,
it finds more of. So what you could be during
(22:49):
this time instead of even then use the words I'm struggling.
If you're saying things like it's hard, I'm struggling, etc.
Even though that is truth for you at that moment,
you will find that you will attract more of that
because that's what you're focusing on. For me, it was
all about preparing my team and whatnot. But obviously you
(23:10):
can't do that right now. But it's can you start journaling.
Can you start reshifting your focus to what you actually
want to call in and what you desire start finding
expanders for this. We actually have a really great expander's freebie,
which I'll put in the show notes of what that
is if you don't know what it is. But basically,
an expander is someone who is doing what you want
(23:33):
and understand their belief system. For example, I might be
your expander, and my belief system around having two kids
and a business is I'm supported. It's easy. I never
have to rush. I always get done what I need
to get done, and what I didn't get done wasn't important.
(23:53):
The right opportunities are always coming to me. Money is
always coming to me. I'm always abundant. I don't have
to worry. I am supported by the right team and
the right people, and the people who aren't right fall away.
All these things are my belief system around my current reality,
and then that's what is my reality. So I would
(24:14):
say for you, I would start getting really clear on
what you do want your reality to be, and I
would be journaling, I'd be visualizing. I would be putting
pen to paper, regulating my nervous system and focusing on that,
because you will be so shocked how quickly your reality
can shift and change without anything actually changing. It's just
(24:37):
your mental state has changed, and how much better you
can feel with just hoping. Does Lacey complete your family
or would you try for another down the track? Okay,
so since having Lacey, I am already so clucky and
it like I already said to all the work girls,
I'm like, give me a hundred. I want a hundred
(24:58):
babies if that's going to change me. And Tim always
said we only wanted two kids. I have always said
I could want three. Tim has always been set on
the two. So look, I don't feel like our family
is complete. I would happily have another baby, but it
obviously takes two to tango and it will definitely be
(25:20):
up to Tim. But also I can envision him with
a little boy, so I feel like I may be
able to get him over the line. But also if
we had three girls, I don't know how he's meant
to be. So yeah, I don't know. I personally would
love another, but we need to get Tim over the lion.
So bear with me. Okay, this is a good question.
(25:42):
My partner is a pessimous, low vibe and is negative
about my goals. Will this affect my manifestation? First of all,
why you with this partner? No, that's brutal, but I yes,
I can understand this can happen with partners and friends.
I would say to this, no one can make you
feel a certain way. Only you have complete control over
(26:05):
your emotions. So I would just be putting in energetic
boundaries with your partner, and I would honestly not be
talking about your manifestations and goals with him if he's
going to act like that, Because when you are manifesting,
when you're claiming a new desire, it takes enough of
your own energy to get on the energetic alignment of it,
(26:27):
So to convince him too would be exhausting. So I
would just say, put in your energetic boundaries with him.
You don't have to talk about it. Obviously, that's a
very hard situation, And I'm just going to say it, like,
that sucks that you don't have that support from him,
but it doesn't mean that you cannot manifest whatever you're
manifesting and calling your desires. It just means that he
(26:51):
kind of can't meet you, he can't support you, which sucks,
but that doesn't affect your desires. Just don't let that
affect how you feel. How how long do you plan two breastfeed?
I planned a breastfeed for twelve months. I had a
very different breastfeeding journey with Ivy. It only lasted six
(27:12):
because we started giving her a bottle very early on
so Tim could kind of be involved, and then she
got bottle preference and she literally would not go on
the breast. So we ended up stopping at six months.
And that's because I was like pumping the last couple
of months and it was just exhausting and not enjoyable,
and I just really regret that situation. So with Lacey,
(27:32):
we actually haven't given her a bottle. She did have
a bottle in the special Care nursery, but other than
that and maybe one bottle randomly because I had an
appointment or something. She hasn't had a bottle, and so
I'm not going to do it the bottle. And I
know this might then be difficult later on with work
or whatnot, but I'm just going to make it work
because twelve months and the grand scheme of things is
not a long time and I really just want to
(27:54):
make sure I can breastfeed Lacey. But I do understand
that this might change and my feelings might change. At
the moment, we have a really great breastfeeding journey. She
latter really well for a PREMI and she feeds somewhat well.
Sometimes she's a bit like off and on and a
bit funny, but mostly she feeds really well. So I
am going to try for the twelve months, but look,
we will see how we go. Last question, which is
(28:16):
a manifesting question. How can you truly believe something is
for you when you don't have it or you can't
see how. So I'm thinking this question is in regards
to manifesting technique is go to the end where you
have that thing and you're experiencing that thing, and that's
how you call it in. And the thing, guys, is
(28:38):
this is just a technique. So this is just something
to help your manifestation. Come in faster or come in.
But if you don't vibe with it, you don't have
to use it. It's not a requirement. It's just something
to help you. It's just something to help you get
on the vibe. But if you are struggling in regards
to maybe the logic of it, if you think of
(28:59):
any think before you have anything. It can feel, Oh,
I don't know when that thing's going to come in.
I don't know how it's going to come in. And
then it comes in and you're like, Wow, that came
in such an interesting way. If something has happened previously
where you're oh, that came in such a weird and
wonderful way, go back to that. And buildings can come
in really unusual or interesting and going back to your
(29:22):
past experience or otherwise. This is a whole surrender part
of manifesting. And I really love to go back to
the concept of seeing Universe, God, source, Oneness, whatever you
want to call, the one consciousness as the parent and
then we are the child. I don't know if you
have children, but with my toddler, Ivy, she wants jelly
(29:46):
right before bed, and I'm like, I know her having
sugar right before bed is not the vibe. She's not
going to sleep, she's going to be hyperactive, blah blah blah.
And so I'm like, you can't have jelly right before bed,
but we can have it tomorrow. She's a toddler, so
she doesn't unders stand there, So she's having a tantrum.
She's upset, she thinks I'm the worst person ever. Anyway,
she goes to sleep, she wakes up, she has the
(30:07):
jelly happy days like that situation. We are the child,
we are ivy. We cannot see that it's just around
the corner that's actually going to happen tomorrow, that it's
going to happen in this way that I'm actually going
to feel so much better when I have it. Because
we are the child, we don't understand all the moving
parts happening. How could we. When you kind of learn
how to surrender and you trust that you're supported, you're guided,
(30:31):
it's going to come to you. You just have to
sit back and enjoy. You realize that's the whole point
of manifesting. It's not I'm manifesting something and I feel
really shit, shit shit, and then I manifest the thing
and I feel good. You get to feel good the
whole time. And so when you can lean back into
(30:52):
surrender and you can feel supported, that feels good, doesn't
it When you understand that that's the whole cosmic joke
I guess is you don't actually need this thing to
feel that feeling. You can feel that feeling of that
thing right now. And let's be honest, that's the only
reason why we want something. We want the car because
(31:13):
we want freedom, or we want luxury, we want the
house because we want security. We don't actually want the
physical thing or the desire. We're chasing a feeling. So
when you can give that feeling to yourself now or
just know the feeling is coming, that is so powerful
and what a beautiful way to live, rather than constantly
(31:34):
starving yourself from the feeling, thinking the thing is going
to give you the feeling. No, you feel the feeling
first and then the desire comes. And that's kind of
why I find it so easy to believe in the
unknown and to believe in things I cannot see, because
it has happened so many times before, and I'm just
(31:55):
so deeply surrendered in my manifesting work and the laws
of the universe and all that sort of thing. And again,
if you feel that way, I would highly recommend the
Manifesting Foundations bundle. It will blow your socks offs. It
will change your whole life because when you understand these
principles and you embody them, this stuff gets really easy
(32:16):
and it feels really really good. All Right, my loves,
I'm going to love and leave you on that note.
I hope you have loved this Q and A. I
will be doing a bit more on my stories now
that I'm kind of eight weeks postpartum, but I really
needed some time to just be with Lacy, with the family.
But I will be a bit more active on socials.
Definitely not back to work, but chatting to you guys
(32:39):
