Purpose of This Episode:

In honor of Georgie's birthday last week, Engrid asks Georgie a bunch of questions. The convo really centers around Georgie and the life lessons she's walked away with from her "Saturn Return" year. We dive into some themes she keeps getting invited to learn over and over. George also shares things that helped her to choose to transition her business away from influencer marketing and more towards full-time photographer. As always we laugh and we cry - it's a classic Gal Pal episode. Enjoy!

_______

IN THIS EPISODE:

• Overthinking how I'm perceived (allowing it to get in my head)
• Not all friendships are created equal
• Not taking it personally when you're not invited to something
• How do you filter creative feedback?
• How people react/act is a reflection of them (we are mirrors)
• How one comment from someone can be hurtful and send you off into a rumination spiral
• Nuanced new friendship dynamics
• Being invited but trying to decipher if they really mean it (I'll believe it when I see it)
• Finding out mutual friends hung out without you
• If you learn as a kid that most people lie, you grow up to be an adult that assume most people lie
• "If most people lie, I have to lie to keep up"
• How people act is not a reflection of me
• Family members of people we are close with - their behavior - is not a reflection of me
• Finding healthy outlets to express anger
• Learning to hold space with someone else's anger (with you or because of something else)
• Taking ownership for your own behavior without needing to control or manipulate someone else's feelings about it

In this episode Georgie and Engrid are discussing the situations where we feel pressure to prove ourselves. This feels especially noticeable in newer relationships or group dynamics. The gals explore where this comes from, who it shows up around and how their need to prove themselves has changed over the years. The gals also share from listeners who wrote in to on Instagram to share about their experiences with situations where they felt like they needed to prove themselves .

_______

IN THIS EPISODE:

• In what situations do you feel like you have to prove yourself?
• What does "proving yourself" look like for you?
• How do you feel after an interaction where you felt like you had to prove yourself?
• How does it feel to meet someone or be around someone where you DON'T feel pressure to prove yourself?
• Where do you think this feeling/impulse comes from?
• How do you THINK you come off in first impressions?
• Do you assume most people like you? Or that most people don't like you? (has that changed over the years?)

MORE IDEAS WE DISCUSS:

• Group dynamics (one upping)
• Assuming people won't like you unless you prove yourself
• The way you feel about yourself being projected onto others - and that energy impacting how they see you

"If you're inhabiting your body you're feeling change...if you're really awake in your body, you'll notice it's out of control. You can't be present and controlling at the same time." - Tara Brach

• How can you be self accepting without becoming complacent?
• What if we can look at achievement as fun versus necessary?
• Awakening → Discomfort → Choice
• How do you define "high achieving"?
