Choosing courage over comfort with Georgie Chambers

This week we sat down with the incredible Georgie Chambers, a person whose journey is as courageous as it is inspiring.

Georgie opened up about her transformation from living in the shadows of insecurity, body image struggles, and an eating disorder… to becoming a coach, leader, and community builder who empowers others to choose themselves and step into courage every day.

One of the pivotal moments in her life came during her yoga teacher training, a pause that forced her to sit with herself, make hard decisions, and completely reset her path. Since then, Georgie has chosen herself over and over again, whether through leaving relationships, embracing cold water therapy for suicide awareness, or building communities where people truly connect beyond the surface level.

What struck us most is Georgie’s reminder that:

Life is about courage. Every day requires us to make choices – and every choice shapes who we become.

Her story is raw, real, and full of lessons that anyone, whether you’re an athlete, a leader, or simply figuring out your next step, can take to heart.

Some power moments from our conversation include

• Choose yourself: even when it feels terrifying, it’s the most empowering decision you can make.

• Courage is in the everyday: from tough conversations to getting out of bed, every act requires bravery.

• Failure is not the end: it’s proof you’re trying. The only real failure is giving up.

• Community matters: growth happens when we’re surrounded by people who lift us up.

• Don’t die wondering: life is too short not to take the leap.

Episode Transcript

(00:04):
Hey everybody, it's Prajesh here.
In Tana here. Welcome to our podcast Passes of
Knowledge chats with a difference.
In our podcast, we invite guestsfrom around the country and
around the world to talk about how they got to where they at
the moment. It's about a journey, it's about
an experience, it's about their life.

(00:26):
Kira Kosh, everybody, welcome toanother episode of Baskets of
Knowledge. Tony, what have you been to your
basket of Knowledge since we last spoke?
Yeah, I think something I've been resonating on today, one of
the news. So I've obviously started a new
job, been in the role for about 6 weeks.
And we've also had another lady start and she she asked, oh, do

(00:46):
you find it weird that you've come back to the organization
wide order having come through as a tile here?
And I think as I resonated on, you know, coming through as a
year 12 or year 13 student, I think I realized in the broader
context of a lot of the, you know, activities that I've been
a part of that a lot of the timeit actually ends up being quite

(01:08):
a full circle moment, whether that was in the holes for
stardom and then becoming a suborder and whether it's with
why order coming back to then work with organization.
A lot of my coaching aspirationsobviously came from the power
that rugby league gave me growing up playing sports.
So I think it was just an awesome realization.
And I think important when we think about giving back, you

(01:30):
know, I think a lot of the time we think we have to be quite
proactive in terms of giving back to different people or
different, yeah, different things that are going to benefit
then. But I think sometimes we don't
realize that, you know, just being a part of, you know,
somebody's ideas, somebody's activity is just as powerful,

(01:50):
you know, as going out and seeking that next thing to give
back to. Yeah.
And so it's so crazy how life just brings those full circle
moments when you least expect it.
And you know, those full circle moments actually where the
credit growth happens because you can actually navigate see
where you've come from to where you're at the moment.
It's really cool that that you're living dead in thinking
about that there. Thanks for sharing that there.

(02:11):
My basket has been full with this quote here, which I was
thinking about and it's we always talk about change and you
know, change is part of life forthis part of life.
And this quote again, I'm reading novel Rodney content.
I think it's pretty amazing. One of his quotes was it's
easier to change yourself than to change the world.
And the best way to change the world is to change yourself.
When I think about that quote, I'm like, wow, this is actually

(02:33):
so true because so many times wetry and change other things in
the world, but we actually forget about ourselves and
whether we change the way we think, what we eat, what we do.
And you know, there's always a saying, first, make your make
your bed first before you stopping out of those beds.
And I think that's really important.
And I think this is something that might come through today's
guest as we think about, you know, looking after ourselves

(02:54):
and what that looks like when you look after yourself, how
they connect on to other people.So again, it's not about me and
Tony, it's about our guest. And As for those of you that
have listened to a podcast many,many times, you know, we scoured
the world to find people that would think we're interesting.
We think everyone's interesting,We think everyone's got a story
to tell. And if we were paid to do this,
we do this all day every day. But hey, we're not.
So for now, we're just going to stick to some amazing people

(03:17):
that we know in our network and this person that we're going to
have on today, someone that I, that I am really inspired by,
they might not know this year, but every time I see their
content, I, it just makes me smile.
It makes me glow. Even when they're sharing stuff,
when they're vulnerable, it justmakes me glow because that is
such an amazing share. And I've been very privileged to
see this person over the last five years.

(03:40):
I guess when we first met, I can't even remember five years
or so and it's all been online. But the growth and impact
they've had is really beautiful and it's really powerful and
inspirational and aspirational and it's a real privilege to
have her in my wider network. So enough of me being very
mysterious about who this personis.
We'd love to. Welcome to Boss of Knowledge,

(04:00):
Georgie Chambers. Georgie, welcome to Boss of
Knowledge. Oh, thank you so much.
What a an honor to be here and to share with you guys.
But wow, what an introduction it's.
The truth it's the it's the truth it's all the truth it's
all the truth and Georgia peoplewho've done nothing about who
you were who is Georgia today onthe 24th of sorry 26th of August

(04:23):
2025 all. Right.
What a huge question to start with.
It's a funny one. And you're reflecting on how you
see these full circle moments and we see change in ourselves.
I think the biggest change I've seen in myself is in the past, I
would have identified who I was with like all these job titles
or linking myself to all of these labels.

(04:45):
But right now I'm just Georgie, like I am someone with a really
big heart and a lot of wisdom and love to share with the
world. And that comes through in so
many different ways in the things that I do.
And some of the passions that I lean into along my journey

(05:06):
include working with athletes inthe sporting space, working with
everyday humans to bring them opportunities to connect with
each other, to challenge themselves, to move their
bodies, and to love who they arewherever they're at in their
journey. And something else that I really

(05:28):
love to do is just not take lifeso seriously and have a bit of
fun with where I'm at and who I am and what I'm doing in each
moment. I love that.
I love that because you know what you said right there?
Something we will get trapped with and people say who is
Georgie, who is projection, who is talent?
We think about the job title that we have.
We think about that label that someone has given us.

(05:49):
But I love how you can actually wait a minute and just me and
I'm defined by what I do not, but what the titles are given to
me. And that's a challenge to, you
know, listening out there when someone asks you who who is in
said name, I'd love you to thinkabout who you actually are.
What a great way to start. Start the podcast, Georgie.
But Georgie, this is you today. If we rewind and go five years

(06:09):
or maybe 10 years ago, where wasGeorgie in that?
We'll talk about that, Jake. Yeah.
Great. I think the way I introduce
myself to Sen is because things in life change and things can
change really rapidly and thingscan change slowly.
And as you said, to start with, like change is the biggest
constant with that we have in our worlds.

(06:30):
And when we latch on to things or when we hold on to, you know,
titles and spaces that we've been, we sometimes get absorbed
by them and they become who we are and they become our
identity. And so where I've been to where
I am now, when I first met you, Prajesh, Prajesh, I was, I feel
like a shadow of who I am now. I was quite an insecure person.

(06:52):
I was definitely in my head a lot and controlled by my mind a
lot. I was really struggling with my
body image. I was living with an eating
disorder. I was struggling with some post
trauma, past trauma and, and that was coming out in, in ways

(07:13):
of like unprocessed emotion. And I really didn't know who I
was. And the reason that sort of was,
was because I've latched onto these identities or I've gone
through life learning all these behaviours and learning all
these things that maybe weren't the most supportive of me.

(07:35):
And for a bit more of an example, like I left school and
thought I had to go to university and thought I had to
become an XYZ person, but I didn't actually give myself
space to learn out, learn about who I was and what actually lit
me up inside. So I followed a few different
career paths into university where I was aiming for

(07:56):
something. But I feel like those titles
were things that other people had put on me and like nothing,
no disrespect to anyone that suggested I should go to uni or
for trying to be the person thatmy parents wanted me to be or
trying to be the person that my teachers wanted me to be.
That was just all I knew. So I just thought that I'd do

(08:18):
that. And I honestly have no regret
because all of those like pathways and all those decisions
that I made have brought me to where I am now and, and have
taught me so much along the way.But it's just a really
interesting journey that, you know, over 10 years time, we can
be so influenced by the people around us and the places that we

(08:39):
think we want to go instead of actually listening to what are
the messages within us and what are the things that actually
light us up and how can we follow more of those threads?
Yeah, and and that's that's and I love it because, you know,
that is something that Tony myself speak speaks to quite a
bit where we see a lot of people, including ourselves that
we have, you know, we meant to conform to whatever society says

(09:01):
and ticket box without actually giving us time to think about
stopping. And actually, it's what I want
to do. And it's quite funny, Georgie,
when you think about it. I think about myself, my first
degrees in computer science. I remember sitting outside the
computer science in my third year going, what have I been
doing here? Why am I here?
I hate this degree. What am I doing here?
But I didn't stop, stop it because I like what would other

(09:22):
people think? What would my parents think?
What would everyone thinks? I'm just going to just soldier
and finish up my degree and if you know, if we're fast willing
to actually if we give ourselvessomething to go, it's OK for you
to go. I don't know, and change your
mind a whole point, but I'm not regretting that.
But it's just interesting to think about the pressure that
you have, but you don't think about that at that point in
time. Yeah.
And how many more doors can openup for you when you actually

(09:42):
say, hang on, is this really serving me?
Is this stress that I'm putting in and the expectation that I'm
placing on myself or that I feelothers are placing on me, which
maybe they're not, but we just feel that energy is that
actually serving me to be a better version of myself and to
be able to go out and serve in the space that I'm studying in.
And if that's no, we'll like shit, I need to actually change
course quickly. But sometimes it's not even

(10:04):
changing course quickly, but it's like, oh, let's pump the
brake stop, see where we're at, zoom out a little bit and then
re like go back in looking from a different land or looking at
different things. And I think one of the biggest
things on my journey is being, as much as I hate to stop
because I feel like I lose momentum sometimes in those

(10:27):
pauses, in those moments that I do stop, the momentum comes even
further, like even faster because I've actually given
myself this space to really recognize where I'm at and what
I'm wanting. That's so true because it's that
pause, right? The power of the pause, we don't
take it. We take it for granted.
And as you said before, sometimes when you pause, you
actually speed up, which is which is crazy.

(10:48):
And I love the way you put that there.
But what else would love to ask you?
As we spoke about you in the space here, that was very
different. Was there a trigger or a moment
where you went actually, this isnot the way I want to live my
life? Would it somebody come with your
life or something happen for youto go, hey, this is not OK?
Yeah, I feel like there was a few little points along the way,

(11:08):
but I remember really significantly the moment that I
decided I really wanted to do myyoga teacher training.
And at the time I was in a relationship that was, we'd been
together for seven years. I was living in a different
area. I was teaching in a stable job
and had an ongoing contract. Like on paper, life looked

(11:29):
pretty good, but I was really intrigued to do my yoga teacher
training. And something that I really
struggled with at that time was actually sitting still.
I was always on the go. I was always like, and this was
probably a product of living with an eating disorder and
running away from like trauma and I was always on the go,
didn't like to sit still. So whether it was movement,

(11:51):
whether it was connecting with people, whether it was I was
always doing. And during that yoga teacher
training, it really made me dropinto being and it really allowed
me to connect with who I am. And it really made me recognize
that so many things that I was living in my life weren't
actually aligned to where I wanted to be going.

(12:14):
And so over that three weeks of many pauses, many aha moments, a
lot of introspective time, I realized the relationship wasn't
one for me. I realized the place I was
living in wasn't fulfilling me. And it felt like it was a really
isolated space. And I realized how much I was

(12:36):
filling my life with things thatdidn't necessarily make me
unhappy because they were still making me happy, but they just
were filling space because I wastoo afraid to sit with things.
So that was probably the biggestturning point in my life because
I really, you know, pulled everysafety net out from me, left the

(12:56):
job, left the partner, left the country where I was living.
And I had to go home and and live with my parents for a
couple of months and sort of just regroup with where I was
at. And, and what is that moment
like when you realize, OK, this is what I've got to do, you
know, because you know this, I asked that question because we
all know what we've got to do, right?
As as a coach and you as a coach, you know, your clients,

(13:17):
people know what they've got to do.
And you realize that. What is the doing where people
go? What is that like for you when
you actually did the doing? The taking action of that was
terrifying, absolutely terrifying.
And I think in the late, so I'd done the three weeks and it was
about two weeks after that. That was sort of like this
transitional period where I was like, I know what I've got to

(13:38):
do, but far out. I was terrified.
I didn't want to. I felt like I was letting
another human down. I felt like I was going to let a
whole school down because I was teaching at the time.
There was a lot of fear because I was so worried about the
repercussions of everyone else in my, in my life.
But I, I also knew that in orderfor me to live the best life
that I possibly could, I had to do it for me.

(14:00):
And it felt selfish, but it alsofelt quite empowering at the
time to be like, no, this is what I've also got to do.
Like I've got to do this with myown mental well-being and for my
own physical well-being as well.So it's one of those moments
where there's a part of you thatknows exactly what you have to

(14:21):
do and you've got to take that thing, but there's so many other
parts of you that's like, I'll look for every other opportunity
to avoid that decision because it's awful.
Yeah, yeah. And I bring that in because
Tana, you had to do that recently where you knew what you
had to do, but it was pretty challenging.
Yeah, 100%. And I think it's yeah, I think

(14:42):
you're right. I think it's almost harder when,
you know, that's what you have to do.
You know, when you're kind of inthat limbo and you're like, oh,
do I don't I it's a lot easier because you go, oh, it's I don't
know. So, you know, you kind of avoid
it. I want to, yeah.
Want to truly sit with yourself and go, Nah, actually, this is
what I need to do. It almost makes it harder

(15:04):
because every day you avoid it, you know, it's still there.
There's no there's no excuse anymore except to yourself.
But you deep down know that's the direction that you have to
take. And I think I know like from my
own experience at that time as well.
And I know it's happened a couple of times like since, but

(15:25):
you are so worried about everyone else's perspective of
it. And you want everyone else to
help you in that decision makingprocess.
But at the end of the day, it's your life and it's your
decision. And like it, it genuinely comes
down to 100%. You have to decide.
There's no one else that can choose for you what, what you
know, the next steps are for you.

(15:45):
And I think there were so many moments in that that I was like,
Oh, I'd, I'd love your advice or, or your perspective on this.
And everyone was like, we can't give it to you.
And I realize that now, but in the moment you're like, I just
want someone else to tell me what I should do.
Yeah, and and you also look for the other person that's going to
that's going to validate not doing it.
You know, they said that cool that, that that's totally wrong.

(16:07):
So it's quite crazy, but you probably can know when you go
actually I've got to do it. It's it's you 100% you, you
know, there's no one else that'sgoing to make that that decision
for you. And also the consequences of
your decision are all on you. 100%, yeah, yeah.
And one thing I want, I want to just bring up, it's a little
different, Georgie is the one thing that I really have noticed
ever since I've met you is your smile.

(16:29):
You're always ready and you're always smiling.
You have this, this glowing energy about you.
Is this, is this Georgie all thetime or this, or is this
something that came up with you as you started navigating your,
this new transition in life? And, and I'm being real here.
You're every time I see you, you're smiling and you're always
just glowing. I think from a young age when

(16:50):
you know, people are in class, Iand I know I do it as a like as
a educator as well, but we say, you know, what are your
strengths? And I used to always be like my
smile, my smile, it's my smile. And that was all I could ever
find with my strengths. But I was proud that I could
find something. And as I've gotten older, it's
obviously turned a lot more intocool.
Let's take away from like the the outside perspective.

(17:13):
But what are your strengths within you and transitioning
back? There's definitely moments in
life where I'm not smiling. Life will always throw the
curveballs that, yeah, that are harder to smile through.
But I think one of the things that I really recognize now is I

(17:33):
would say I'm an incredibly authentic person.
And what you see is what you get.
And often when I'm around peoplethat lift my energy and that
support me and that see, you know, see me for who I am, it's
just a reflection. And it's a mirror.
And so being able to, to show upand to be smiling and to be

(17:54):
really energetic is a reflectionon the spaces that I'm in and
the people that I'm around. But having said that, there's
also times I know I've got a really beautiful relationship
with like my housemate and we have days where I'll come home
and I'm bawling my eyes out because I'm incredibly stressed
or I've, I'm really upset over something.
And there's few people that see me in those moments, but they

(18:16):
definitely happen because I'm definitely a human being and I
experience it all. But I, I try and be really open
with, I guess the emotions that I'm feeling and how I'm showing
up in. In fact, just because I think
it's really a powerful quality to be able to be seen in so many
different lights and not to always be seen in this energetic
and happy space, but also to reflect that, you know, life is

(18:39):
all about the ups and downs And,and I, I have those downs
moments too. And, and what I love about that
there, George, is because, you know, you spoke about life is
ups and downs and you earlier onyou mentioned about the people
around you and the people aroundus and make a big difference
with, with energy. You know, I feel the same.
If I'm in a space where there's energy glory, you'll see me
smiling. But I might be in a space where

(19:00):
I don't feel the energy and likewhatever I do, I still can't
live my energy. And I, I think about, I can't
smile. I'm not happy and I'm just my
normal self because that's who Iam.
And people like, what's wrong with you?
I was like, this is who I am. This is I'm not always happy in
Somalia because people just see the one side.
But I just said we're, we're complex, amazing big beings,

(19:21):
which is, which is pretty cool. Yeah, I definitely, I do try to
bring energy when I go into spaces, but I also am very
respectful of where my energy isAT.
And sometimes like being that really high energy person in a
room can take so much more energy to do that.
And I know that that can be really exhausting for me over a
longer period of time. So I use like on Sunday I ran a

(19:45):
big event, being a leader in that event and being able to
show up in that space. I want to be 150%.
I want to show up with the energy because I want that to be
what's created in this space. So for me, something like that
is really important. I was feeling 150% on the day,
but like, it wouldn't have mattered if I was or wasn't

(20:05):
because I would make that happen.
But there's also spaces where I'm not leading and I'm happy
to, you know, show up to an event and be 70%.
And be OK, we showing up at that70% have to justify it or
explain it or or mask it anymore.
Yeah, And, and this is true because I, I read this somewhere
and I was like, if you're feeling 70%, that's your 100%.

(20:28):
If you're feeling 4%, that's your 100%.
I was, since I was like, yes, when I, when I, when I meet my
team, I tell them that all the time.
I was like, I don't, I don't 100%.
I just need your 100%, whatever the 100% looks like.
Oh, I love that quote. And I used to say that a lot to
people when they're like, oh, I'm feeling really average.
And it's like, cool, where are you at?
And it's like, oh, I'm literallyonly gave 40% today.
It's like, great, you gave 100% of what you had.

(20:48):
Like it's that incredible. And the amount that that can
shift someone's perspective on their day and where they're at
and just being OK with, oh, I still gave everything that I had
even though that was at whateverlike level it was.
That's so powerful. Language, right, language, which
we know about the power of language and talk about the
power of language. I want to just shift a little
bit and talk about your world's your world of working with

(21:10):
athletes because this is a this is a different, I mean, you do
so much, I'm going to go to different segments, but you
know, working with athletes thatthat must be very different.
You know, we see the final product, but you go through the
whole training as they prepare to dive and the diving, you do
the diving as well. And yeah, just talk about that,
that space that you're in. Yeah, so I grew up diving when I
was in high school and I just found the love for it, the

(21:33):
freedom of, you know, taking offfrom abroad.
But as I've grown older, I've really understood just so much
more about the sport. And for me, that sport is like a
family. There's no other sport that I
know of where you can fail and be celebrated and be loved for
that so much. And I the example of like, if

(21:56):
you're learning a new dive, it'sincredibly scary.
And the power of the mind can really like stop you from doing
it or it can help you forward. But I remember as a 16 year old
trying a new dive off a three metre diving board, kicked out
in the wrong spot, landed flat on my back.
And the, the feeling of that is horrendous, absolutely

(22:19):
horrendous. You feel winded.
You come up to the edge of the pool and you're just like really
struggling. And in those moments you come up
to the edge of the pool and all you hear is everyone around you
cheering and celebrating you because you've had a crack at
something incredibly hard and you may have wiped it up, but
you've got 20 people on a pool deck who are celebrating you and
loving you for just trying. And in those moments you're

(22:42):
like, I've got to try again. And so you get up there and you
try again and this time you do it better.
You don't necessarily nail it, but you do it better and you
come out of the water and everyone's cheering even louder
because you've gone back up and you've tried again.
And the more I've been in the space of coaching now as opposed
to just being an athlete, I've really recognized the power of
this sport where you fail so many more times and you succeed.

(23:07):
And it's such a hard sport whereyou're being judged from a
subjective opinion. Someone looking at you creating
this like this artistic looking dive in the air and they see it
from a different perspective to what you feel it.
And then you get judged and thenyou can obviously feel quite
disheartened when you see those scores, even though you feel

(23:29):
like that was the best. It's such a challenging sport.
I've found to always feel like those highs.
I've felt more lows throughout my career and and throughout my
life as a coach than the highs. But it just makes you shift
perspective of what does a high actually feel like in diving?
And I work a lot with my athletes on like working within

(23:53):
their zone and working within like their own capabilities
because it's so easy for us to compare and to judge our own
ability based on the person nextto us.
But for my athletes, I'm all about staying in their own lane.
And so some of the things that Ireally work with them on is
like, what are what are our individual goals?
Your goal as an individual is sodifferent from the goals of the

(24:16):
individuals next to you. You can have a team goal of like
working together, but predominantly at the end of the
day it is an individual sport and working with athletes to
better, better and be the best that they can be has really
helped me as a coach, me as an athlete, me as a as an
individual, big sport and I and I absolutely.

(24:40):
I love the way you've put that there, Georgie.
You know, when I'm going to be totally honest here, the only
time I watch diving is at the Olympics.
You know, when you're watching every single thing and now and
I'm like, wow, this is but everytime I think about, you know,
diving or gymnastics, I always think about it.
It's really amazing. And then you have this year,
they give a subject to schoolinglike that is amazing.
Who is this person to give it a random arbitrary score based on,

(25:04):
on their thought? And it's, as I said before,
it's, it's, it can be either uplifting or just like what is
going on here. And again, it's about their
perspective and perception. So, and I love the way you say
that failure is where you grow and you get up and you do it
again, because that's the hardest part.
When you fail, there's two choices, right?
You can others go and I'm done. But when you have the love and
the family and that, that feeling around you, it makes it

(25:25):
much easier to stand up and you're cool.
Let's give it a crack again. Absolutely.
And I think that has really helped me on my journey of just
like recognizing and reflecting on failure.
And you know, I know that we've spoken about this in other
seminars and things, but lack offailure is just like that
opportunity to take a step forward and, and to keep

(25:46):
learning. And the only real time that we
fail is when we give up trying. And so I think this sport is
also, it's taught me so much over the years of just
continually getting back up there and trying again and
trying again. And it's built resilience in me.
It's built more courage. And it's really, it lights a bit
more of a fire in your belly each time because you want to

(26:09):
keep striving towards where you want to go.
And so it's like that little, that little motivator and that
little push to continually keep being courageous, keep being
resilient, keep trying, keep doing your best, and eventually
your best will be like the best that you can do.
Exactly. The best that you can do, which
is, you know, which is all that be ask for the best that you can

(26:29):
do. Yeah.
Talking about the best that you can do and talking about, you
know, the challenges that peoplehave in life.
One of the big things that I noticed with you is your passion
for mental health and suicide awareness.
What stimulated that passion? I know it's really big in your
life and you know, I see what I see all the awesome films that
you do when all the the plunges that you do and you know you've

(26:51):
been doing it for a while. It's just a one off thing.
It's a consistent thing is wheredoes that passion come from?
The Let's start at the beginningof the the cold water immersion.
About four years ago, I connected with a couple of guys
that were starting a mental Health Organization or they
weren't starting mental, they were starting a fundraiser

(27:14):
aligned with a mental Health Organization.
And basically the fundraiser wasevery August, Every day in
August, you'd do 9 minutes in the cold water, which was
representing the 9 lives we loseto suicide every day in
Australia. And I'd never really been into
cold water. I'd always hated the cold, but I

(27:36):
was like, cool, that's a great challenge, let's see how it
goes. So in 2021, I signed up to this
fundraiser for the first time and every day in August, which
in Australia, August is winter and it's the coldest month of
the year generally. Well, coldest definitely in the
water, but very, it's cold generally.

(27:59):
And I was like, what's the worstthat could happen?
I don't, I don't complete it. I look, there's really not many
bad things that can happen. I hate it.
I hate it. I complete it.
And we learned something from that.
But in those first few days I found myself really struggling
and really like resistant. And about maybe the 10th day

(28:22):
we'll throw it out there. I finally decided that if I
accepted that I was just going to do this every day, regardless
of if I wanted to or if I didn't, if I just could accept
that, I knew it was going to be cold.
I knew it was going to be challenging.
I knew it was going to be uncomfortable.
If I built that acceptance in methat I knew those things and it
wasn't going to be anywhere nearas hard.
And so from the moment that acceptance helped me to just go

(28:46):
into the water and just be like,this is happening.
No questions, no buts, no ifs. It was just that is what is and
the power in that was huge. And I think that's such a mirror
for life when we can accept things as they are.
We're not pushing, we're not pulling, we're not avoiding,
we're not distracted or we're not disconnecting from them.

(29:07):
We're just allowing them to be as they are.
That's not to say it wasn't the best thing ever and it wasn't
comfy and it wasn't warm. Like I could lie to myself and
tell myself all those things, but I just accepted that, yes,
it was cold, Yes, it was going to be hard, Yes, it was
uncomfortable. And through that I found so much
love for doing it and it became quite a liberating experience as

(29:28):
well. And a lot of the time I do it in
community with other people around.
And it's a nice way to connect with others and you have these
beautiful conversations or you just freeze and shake together.
But I've actually found this season, so we're in August at
the moment. This year I've done only one day
I think connected with anyone. Every other day I've done solo

(29:50):
dips and it's been the most powerful part of my day where I
run a pretty busy schedule and it's 9 minutes in my day where
it's just for me, it's a pause on life.
Generally it's a complete disconnection.
There's been maybe a handful of days where I've been filming in
the water, just saying somethingto post on socials.

(30:11):
But most of the time, 99% of thetime I'm out there for 9 minutes
disconnected from everything, just being with myself and it's
like a meditation and people will think I'm crazy, but I
actually like love that experience and I always feel so
much more free coming away from it.

(30:34):
Yeah, people think you're crazy Awesome.
We got the word awesome. We had that there, right?
And, and and it's again, it's really, it's what I'm loving
here, George, is the is the threat of the pause.
You know, we spoke for the, the pause.
And again, this is your 9 minutepause when you are just, just
you, you know, it's not a three-week pause.
It's 9 minutes at a day where you're just gonna like kill.
This is me in the water, accepting what it is.

(30:56):
Yeah. And over the years, it's become
like a really special sort of month.
Coming back to the question, suicide prevention is such a
important thing in my world because I could have been one of
the statistics in Australia. I navigated some really dark
places and had suicidal ideationback over the years.

(31:19):
And for me to be still living here, I want to embody what it
can be like to choose yourself and to choose change and to, to
step into the arena and to be courageous and to, to continue
fighting for what you actually want.
And I'm not going to lie, it's been a, a challenging and it's

(31:44):
been a really tough journey, butI'm so proud of where I've
allowed myself to get to now by all of the things that I've
done. And again, I can't pinpoint that
to like one specific thing, but one of the, one of the really
incredible tools that's really helped me has been that cold
water and being able to share aswell.

(32:05):
And so they're probably 2 of thebiggest things that have helped
this, this part of my, my journey.
And I really advocate for peoplechoosing themselves and, and
people stepping into challenge, especially when it's like more
of just a stretch out of the comfort zone.
It's not into Danger Zone and people being able to speak

(32:28):
openly and honestly from their own experience what's going on
in their world. Because as you say with your
podcast, like everyone's got a story to tell and everyone you
know has incredible power withinthem.
It's just finding that power andletting it speak for itself as
opposed to us, like shutting it down or or ignoring or letting

(32:49):
it take control of us. And I love that you chose
yourself and and I love that youshared that there because Tony
can agree with me. Like we said before, you guest
them 170 and about 90% of our guests have all shared that they
had suicide, suicidal ideations,which when you think about it,
you go, well, that's, that is that is interesting as a stat.

(33:12):
You know, you just step in and go, OK, if we just look at
numbers and not people, that is pretty scared to think about how
many people have done this, but also awesome how many people
have chosen themselves to go. Actually, I'm still here today.
Yeah, Tony, that's that's true, right.
With most of our guests we've had, we've had that come
through. Yeah, definitely.
And I think mental health, I think there's just a lot more

(33:33):
obviously awareness around it, you know, compared to 510 years
ago and just being more vulnerable and opening those
discussions. And, you know, here in New
Zealand, we know that it's, the statistics aren't great either.
But I think it's just, yeah, creating different awareness
channels and different avenues for people to feel safe that

(33:54):
they can open up to somebody. Because I think that's the
biggest and probably still is the biggest challenge in terms
of accepting that, you know, you're not alone.
You're not the only person who'shad these feelings or these
struggles and that there are different avenues, you know,
whether it's a complete strategythat you want to talk to,
whether it's, you know, we talked on the podcast, I guess

(34:17):
last year around me going into counselling and, you know, at
times I was definitely struggling, but at other times
it's just more of a maintenance to go, hey, I enjoy, you know,
having somebody to check in to, to actually be proactive and
having those conversations aboutthis is what's going well.
This is not what's not going well.
And, you know, for other people,it's family, but for me it's
always been to talk to a stranger.

(34:40):
And, you know, understanding that, I guess there's other
mechanisms, you know, to help elevate your, your mood to your
mental health and just work towards, you know, what your
yeah, where you want to be in terms of that mental health
space. Yeah.
And and it's it's, you know, there's no right or wrong of

(35:01):
doing this. It's there's just a way.
And as you say, Georgie, I like this as as long as you keep
choosing yourself in those situations, it's always going to
be better when you start choosing yourself and that that
moment to go, OK, cool, tomorrowis another day.
And obviously it's easy for us to say this year, But when you
start choosing yourself, it's it's a whole different story.
Talk about choosing yourself. One of the big loving choices

(35:24):
that you make is community, amazing community.
And you know, you just alluded to before your amazing event on
Sunday, but this is not the first time we've done this event
here. This is let's talk about that
because that that looks amazingly epic.
And it's not just one or two people.
It's like a whole energy bomb ofpeople and which is really cool.

(35:46):
Yeah, I think I started the 9 for Nine challenge every August.
That was probably my first tasteinto what community was like.
And this was on the like backside of COVID-19.
So I think a few different communities started popping up
and I started immersing in communities I'd find like minded

(36:06):
people, I'd feel really connected and I I found some of
like the closest friends during those times.
And over the last few years I'vejust had this yearning to be
able to create spaces where people can connect with each
other on a deeper level and not just having our surface level.
How was your day conversations? Because I don't really like

(36:29):
them, let's be honest. They have their time and place.
I'll say that. But I really love depth in
conversation and depth in connection.
And that I find really powerful.But I, I know that in community,
sometimes that can be really fun.
But I wanted to foster environments where people could
connect at a deeper level. I wanted to foster environments
where people could step out of their comfort zone and lean into

(36:50):
their edges a little bit more. When I wanted to start to build
spaces where people could feel empowered to to step into what
life could be like for them and to challenge themselves to, you
know, new perspectives or to to become a better version of
themselves effectively. And over the last few years, I

(37:13):
met a really incredible person who now is my business partner
in all of this. And we both a big vision,
visionary people. We're both very driven for
change. We're both very driven for
supporting people to be their best.
And we decided last year that wewanted to run a series of like
workshops just in like the well-being space to support

(37:35):
people with different things like burnout, like productivity,
like physical and mental Wellness.
And then we started running someretreats.
And these were really powerful. They were weekend long
immersions where people would come into like a different
environment. We'd go like this beautiful
connection into like these deeper moments where people

(37:57):
would have these incredible transformations and start to see
life from different perspectives.
And then we'd safely take them out and they'd come back into
this world with like eyes wide open, looking at life from a
different view. And from that moment we were
then like, how can we offer this?
Because retreats are quite a small, intimate group.

(38:18):
How can we offer something that's a little bigger and a
little bit more accessible to more people?
So that's where the festival event came from.
So yeah, we've run 2 now and they're just a big day of
health, fitness, Wellness, all of those kinds of great things,
People moving their bodies, people challenging, you know,

(38:39):
their comfort zone, people connecting with others and
building community. And they're the real 3 pillars
that I sort of A, live my life by, but also B, bring others
into, which were, as I mentioned, movement, community
and challenge. And yeah, that's where I've
gotten to so far, but there's somuch more to come.

(38:59):
Yeah, watch this space, watch this space because and the
reason the reason I bring it up is because, you know, a lot of
people think that I have to be somebody.
I have to register something able to do things.
But you are a living in bottom someone's got actually wait a
minute. Why wait for someone else when I
can do this myself and I can find people that are aligned to
me to do things. You know, and I say this
because, you know, we have both done lots of programs together.

(39:22):
We have lots of that have so much potential, but they keep
doing another course, another program, another program.
And I'm like, and we're both like, just do it yourself
because you can't do it. And, and I, I bring that because
you, you, you do this here. If you know, you bring it
through. And I just guess I wonder if
people are listening out there and they want to do something,

(39:43):
what would your message be to them to think, Oh, hey, I really
want to do this, but I'm waitingfor XYZ or the perfect time or
whatever. What would you, what would you
say? Because you've obviously had to
go through that there. Yeah, absolutely.
I think you're so right that taking action on it is the
hardest thing. We all have these big dreams and
ideals of what life could be like, but until we actually take

(40:03):
the action, we just don't know what it is going to be.
And my advice for anyone, and this is what's landed with me,
is the quote that I came across a couple of years ago.
And it. It's helped me propel myself
forward over the last probably 21/2 years predominantly where
I've seen the biggest change in myself.

(40:24):
But it's won't die wondering. And at the end of the day, life
is going to end at some point for all of us.
Yep. And I don't want to get to that
point in my life where I haven'texhausted every opportunity to
be the best that I can be, to try all the things that I want
to try. And I let fear and doubt hold me

(40:45):
back so long. I let other people's opinions of
what I was doing hold me back for so long.
And I had a pivotal moment wherethis is a long story, but I'm
going to make it super short. We.
We have time, George. What?
What? We have time.
Go home. Go on, see the stories.
I had an anaphylactic reaction and I basically wound up in

(41:06):
hospital and I thought that I'd seen the last of my days and I
wrote myself a letter. And in that letter I said to
myself, if you live through thisanaphylactic reaction, if you
see tomorrow, I promise you, you've got to live your life
with no stone unturned. And they were sort of the words
that I'd said to myself. And as I left that hospital, I

(41:28):
was like, fuck, I just, I just told myself, I have to do this
now. I've got to live it.
And absolutely, there is still fear and doubt in me in so many
things that I do, but I move through that fear and doubt and
have a crack anyway. Like again, as we were talking
about before with the diving, ifI fail, that's fine.

(41:49):
I can learn from that. I can pivot, I can change what
I'm doing, I can tweak things, but if I don't even try, I've
got no idea what I'm doing. So every time I take on an
opportunity, it's like an opportunity for me to just flaw.
And something that I'm really living by at the moment is just
exploring and experimenting as well.

(42:12):
And the more I can experiment with life, I can figure out what
works for me. I can figure out what doesn't
work for me. I can figure out what I like,
what I don't like. But the more things that I
tried, the more I can like narrow down what it what it is
that Georgie is offering this world.
And what I, what I really enjoyed there, Georgie, was the
fact that you see something thatwe all go through fear and

(42:33):
doubt. It's we all go through it
whether we like it enough. You know, you wake up in the
morning of a single day and there's going to be fear and
doubt. Everyone of us has it.
And it's, as you said before, it's the action you take to
either embrace the fear, feel the doubt, or just or let the
fear take over you. And how many of us are living
our lives? And I'm guilty of that when I
don't do things because I'm afraid of whatever is going on.

(42:55):
And there's a great, there's a great skip by Will Smith as what
the other day we, he talks aboutthe fear of skydiving and he
talks about it is it's really beautiful.
And he talks about how you worryabout the skydive before you
even get there. You worry about when you get on
the plane, you, you're so afraid, you're so afraid, but
it's in there. But nothing's happened yet.

(43:16):
Nothing has happened, but the thing hasn't happened yet.
But you are so afraid. And then when you're skydiving,
the thing has happened and the fear is gone, but you've wasted
almost 48 hours worrying about that.
And it's so crazy how many of usdo that there.
It's that perceived expectation of what is going to happen.
It's like us creating the scenario before scenario has
happened happened. Yeah, which is, which is, which

(43:38):
is, which is this human? Which is human.
Absolutely. Yeah, Yeah.
It's human, right? It's human, Georgie.
We've gone very deep in all these conversations, but let's,
let's go a bit lighter. Georgie, what?
What does Georgie do for fun? How does Georgie, what does she
do to have a fantastic day when she's not doing all the deep
stuff? Some of the things that I love
to do for fun, I love just beingin nature.

(43:59):
I often find myself taking my car with myself out for a
weekend away and just going to nature and camping.
I really love connecting with, you know, a handful of my
friends and and we do potluck dinners where everyone brings a
plate and we all have a dinner together.
Like I love that sort of connection just with a small

(44:21):
group. I even though we talked about
the water being part of just like an everyday practice that I
do, I actually love just being in the water and swimming in and
that as an experience. What are some of the other
things? I love drawing.
And at the moment something thatI'm really loving is writing.

(44:44):
And I used to hate English at school.
I used to hate it with passion. I couldn't, I told myself I
couldn't write. I was no good.
I think I told myself that because teachers had told me
that I wasn't very good. So again, one of those like
transitions over life is like I'm learning the, the things
that people tell us. And yes, something about 12
months ago I was in a workshop and they said if you had to

(45:07):
share a gift with the world thatyou'd hidden for so long, what
would it be? Is it, you know, do the dance,
the dance that you want sing right?
There was 4 things I can't quiteremember and I was like, oh, I
feel like it's writing, like I want to write.
And I started writing poetry andI just absolutely loved it.
So now every time I go out in nature, I always take my little

(45:29):
jot pad and write down some a few words.
And yeah, I don't know, there's just like such power in that.
And yes, it's kind of still a deep practice, but it's just
something that really lights me up and just it brings me so much
presence. You know what what, what I love
about that. It's because somebody told you
you couldn't many, many years ago, and you keep living the
story. How many of us keep living the

(45:50):
story that we've been told by somebody else?
And you had the moment, you could actually wait a minute.
Let me give it a crack. Yeah, it's not.
It's not my glory anymore. Yeah.
And I love that. Thank you for sharing.
The the reason I ask, we always ask the question about what you
do for fun is because sometimes we only see one side of a
person. And this is another side where
we just have fun and we just do things for ourselves which are
just, you know, like you said, having pot luck, coming into

(46:11):
connect to nature, driving and we forget about that.
You know, whether you are the richest person in the world or
the poorest person in the world,you always have time for fun.
You can make the time for fun. Yeah, it's and I think you
framed that beautifully there. It's making the time.
I think we can all tell ourselves that we're too busy
and there's too much going on inour days.
And that's just, you know, that's where we miss in our

(46:32):
planning of like where are we allocating time for fun?
Where are we allocating time forour joy?
Where are we allocating time to switch off like there?
Those things are so important for the longevity of the work
that we do. It's like so important to
actually put those little pockets into our calendar.
That's so funny. I, I'm quite catching a couple
of corporate clients at the moment and I asked them the

(46:53):
question the other day. I was like, so let me see your
calendar, isn't it? But I was like, where's your fun
time? And they're like, what are you
talking about? I was like, I don't see any time
you have a fun. And they're like, oh, I was
like, exactly. You got to next week.
You want to see fun in there. And they're like, what does fun
actually mean? I was like, that's for you to
decide what that actually looks like.
It's so incredible, like I've had a few, but I just don't know

(47:14):
what funny is. And it's like, wow, we live our
whole lives without actually, I mean, as kids, you you know what
fun is. But as we turn into adults, it's
like we get a job, we do all these other things that are like
adulting things. And it's like, oh, but how do I
be a kid still like, and how do I nurture that in a child,
Disney so that I can have this joy in my life?

(47:34):
Yeah. And, and again, I'm just going
to go back to you being a teacher, because you would have
seen this when you being a teacher that you, you get
trained to teach a certain way and you go to classroom and you
see all these young people and you're like, I now have to
conform these young people to this standardized thing that has
been given by XYZ. And I said that because when I
was in educated, I had the same thing.

(47:55):
I was like, I'm not taking all these dribs aspirations.
I've got to fit into this linearbox.
That would have been pretty, pretty challenging.
Absolutely. And that's a huge part of why
I'm not actively teaching in schools anymore is I just didn't
feel aligned to that. Like I love building rapport
with young people. I love knowing where they're at
and how I can support them. But I just found I'd get into a

(48:17):
classroom and I had to teach like so strictly to this
curriculum that there wasn't enough time for me to teach it
all. But that was what I had to.
I just had to tickle these boxesfor these kids.
But I was like, Oh my God, there's so much potential in
this room. How can I actually connect with
them more? But I just didn't have the space
and the time. So I just, I found myself not

(48:39):
motivated to go to work because I felt like I just had to tick
all these boxes at work. Whereas I was like, they're
these incredible young minds in front of me and I feel like I'm
not nurturing them or supportingthem in the way that they
actually need it. So yeah, I'm actually not
actively teaching at the moment in school, which it's sad
because I, I do love that element of teaching, but I'm

(49:00):
just finding it in other ways atthe moment.
And that's really empowering as well.
And I feel like I'm more alignedto to what I'm meant to be doing
and how I'm meant to be supporting these young people.
I love the word you use quite a bit tonight or today or whenever
we listen to podcast. Is the word aligned?
And I, and I say that because, you know, a lot of the times we
as humans, we don't we we stay clear from the alignment.

(49:22):
We know what we should be doing.Or I say I should.
Things that align to us, we justavoid the alignment.
And when you find the alignment,life just changes for you quite
dramatically because you then, as we've said before, you then
have choice. You are making choices actively.
So you know, two things that have come to the alignment and
pause, which are really, really beautiful.
Yeah, I think a visual that has helped me with that alignment

(49:44):
is. Someone mentioned it to me a few
years ago, but you know, life always offers you these little
threads and we had the opportunity to pull on these
threads and maybe the thread will end really quickly and that
wasn't for us, but maybe we can keep pulling on that thread and
it keeps coming through. And that helps us find something
that we didn't even know existedfor us.
And for me, and that comes back to this experimenting and

(50:06):
exploring in life is that whenever a thread comes through,
it's like, cool. It'd be a disservice to myself
not to actually have a look at what that could be.
And again, that sort of, I guessbrings this whole conversation
back to everything that I've spoken about tonight on Have a
Crack with the things that that pop up in your life.
Don't die wondering what if? Like there's so many

(50:28):
opportunities out there for us, but we have the choice every day
to choose to go and take action on them.
Yeah, that's so, so beautiful and so, so true.
Turn over to any last questions for Georgie New.
I think something that I'd just love to hear about is just what
got you into coaching. I mean, having dumped into

(50:50):
coaching myself, it'd just be awesome to hear, yeah.
Was this something that drew youtowards coaching or?
Yeah. What aligned you to going into
that space? I think when I first started
this adventure, I was looking for help myself.
I wasn't looking to to step intothis as like a coaching or

(51:10):
facilitation or a mentoring sortof space.
I was looking for support and I,I wanted help and I didn't know
how I wanted that help, but I came across someone that
supported me so much and they'restill a big supporter in my
life. And through some of their
programs, I got into doing some of this coaching work and
meeting incredible people and across the world, which has been

(51:31):
amazing. And I think alongside that, I've
always been a sports coach. So I've always seen myself in
that like mentoring and leadership kind of role.
It's just evolved more and more into me narrowing down what's it
what it is that I can really offer this world and what it is
that really I can really leave alasting impact.

(51:54):
So I don't necessarily think I went out in search of coaching,
but it sort of found me as I navigated my own journey and
experience. That's that's so cool because
sometimes you don't find the thing that you end up trying
because you're searching for something else.
Yeah, and I guess it comes. Back to what I was saying

(52:14):
before, it's like you have to help yourself before you can
help others. And, and I think, you know, in
choosing myself and wanting to seek that help and wanting to
seek that that change that I waslooking for, I had to go through
some of these really deep dark places, which has allowed me to
come out the other side feeling really empowered to support
others now through some of thoseexperiences too.

(52:37):
And I'm so aware not anyone's story is exactly the same and
what works for me doesn't alwayswork for anyone else.
But it's building myself a toolkit over the last 6-7 years
of all of these different thingsthat I've tried living on an
unturned to be able to explore who I am and to be able to offer

(52:57):
that to other people. Like having a toolkit with
thousands of like opportunities and and different modalities and
different things that I have done has helped me to be more to
support people in more ways. And that's so true.
And again, it's a good reminder to people that, hey, you don't
have to follow George's method or Tony's method or previous

(53:18):
method. You've got whatever method in
your wills. You just got to look at your
stories and your opportunities and your things that you've
done. Because I always smile when
people say to me, oh, what morning routine should we do?
I'm following, blah, blah, blah.Like, yeah, but you're just
following something that's not coming from you.
You know, you've got to think about what works for you and how
that comes out through, because that's not always going to work.
And as you said, it's alignment of alignment.

(53:42):
Yeah. George, before we ask, we
probably ask our last question. I'm going to throw it over to
you if you have any questions you'd like to ask us or if you'd
like to share something that we haven't navigated in your in
your story. I think we've gone through so
many parts of the story. I didn't even know where we'd go
tonight, but that's been a really cool, like a journey of
so many different parts of who Iam.

(54:04):
I guess the last thing that I would really love to say is just
like it's all about courage. And for me, that word has just
been so powerful for me in everything that I do in to 500
people, in going on a date, in putting my work out into the

(54:25):
world, in having a tough conversation like in everything
we do or in hopping in the cold water for 9 minutes.
Like in everything that I do every day, it asks of me to be
courageous. And I think that's been really
powerful for me of like, how much courage can I, you know,
offer today? Or how much can I lean into my
courage today? And some days it's less than

(54:46):
others, but some days that really helps me to make big
shifts in what I'm doing. That's so, so powerful because
we just made me stop and think, as you said, that they, we don't
think about everything that we do every single day requires
courage. Every single thing we do.
Again, I'm going to go to when you get up in the morning, you
have a choice of staying in bed or getting out of bed.
You know, whether it's going to the gym, whatever it takes as a

(55:07):
courageous choice. If you, it's a, if you want to
stay in bed, that's the courageous choice you've made to
stay in bed. If you make the choice to get
up, that's the courageous and every day we think about that.
So that's really beautiful, beautiful word and a beautiful
thing that we should all think about that we're all living
every single day. And I guess it's not good or
bad. It's just the choice that we
make in that, in that, in that moment there.
Yeah. Which leads into our last

(55:29):
question. And Geordie, you've our podcast
is called Baskets of Knowledge. In every episode, we ask our
guests to share a piece of knowledge to put into our
baskets. You see it so much through this,
through this episode today. But is there anyone piece of
knowledge that you'd like to share with myself, Tony and our
listeners? Damn, I probably just jumped the
gun there. I probably should have left that

(55:53):
one too. My mum piece of knowledge.
I think similarly on that, that tune of courage and what you
were just saying. Everything in life comes down to
our choice, whether we choose todo something or we choose not to
do something. And I think when we can take a

(56:17):
moment to recognize we're making, it helps us shift our
perspective. It helps us shift the the
direction that we're going in into the person that we're
wanting to be. And I think if we can give
ourselves that opportunity and that moment to make the more
powerful choice that we want, ithelps us become the person that
we want to be. So that's so true.

(56:40):
Choice. Choice is so powerful.
It's such a powerful word. And I'm just going to just riff
of what you've just said. A few months ago, I posted
something on Instagram, get the read before and it was when you
were born, you'd look like your parents.
And when you die, you look like the choices you've made.
And that's that's just been so powerful for me.

(57:00):
I was like, wow, this is such a.Yeah.
So such a such a choice is very important.
It's it's we do that a bit everyday.
So thank you, Georgie, for that.Tony.
Any last words of your Tony? No, just a massive thank you for
to Georgie for jumping on the podcast.
It's been awesome to hear different parts of your story.
Thank you so much for having me.It's been, yeah, it's been

(57:23):
great. I've I've loved every part of
this. And and just being able to
reflect, I think that's another really powerful basket of
knowledge thing is just like thepower of reflection.
And I mean, you framed it at thestart of this call, PJ, with
saying that, you know, you met me maybe five years ago and we
reflect on that time or you guysstarted this podcast, 170 people

(57:46):
will go and you reflect on that time and how much we can
actually grow. Like when you're living
day-to-day, you don't necessarily see your growth so
much, But when you can look backon a period of time, you really
recognize, you know, what you'vestepped into and how you've
grown and how you've evolved as a person.
And I think that reflection is so key for us as as, as humans

(58:07):
to be able to continue doing what we're doing.
And I think, yeah, I just, I really work on with my athletes
a lot, especially getting them at young at a young age to
reflect on things like that. I do it with my friends, but I
mostly I just do it for myself to be able to.
Yeah, who I'm becoming and whereI've come from because that is
so powerful. And it's so powerful because you

(58:28):
can start about comparing yourself to other people's about
comparing yourself to yesterday or the day or when I'm pretty
something good with it's just looking stuff again.
Hey, cool, five years ago I was this, where am I today?
Well, yesterday I was this and what am I today?
Beautiful. That's that's another great
bonus offer. The internal basket there.
We love it. We love it.
Georgie, Georgie, thank you so much for jumping on today.

(58:48):
The hour has flown by so, so fast.
And, and you'd would because as I said before at the start of
the podcast, that your energy, just the inspiration that you
bring, but also the reality thatyou bring into your
conversations is so, is so beautiful.
So thank you for sharing your time.
Thank you for sharing bits of your story.
And if people want to connect with you, we can.
They best do that. I guess Instagram probably the

(59:10):
best way always is yeah, I sharea fair bit on their day-to-day
stuff as well as like business stuff and and just projects that
I'm working on. So yeah, come and.
Follow me beautiful. We'll Chuck that into the show
notes as well because you will get a lot of inspiration, but
also a lot of smiles and and a lot of reality.
And then those folks there, Georgie, thank you so much for

(59:30):
jumping on follow listeners out there.

If you have not listened or learnt anything today, it's
because you've just fallen asleep.
So wake up and go back and listen again until next time,
don't forget to pause. Don't forget to reflect.
Don't forget to think about those choices that you make in
life. But most important of all, don't
forget to smile or find a reasonto smile.

(59:51):
Until next time, stay safe, talkto you.
Bye everybody, Peace. Thank you for listening to
