Doing The Most S05 Ep 02 - Do Belonging and Community

In various spaces, although I was welcomed and embraced there was always a looming sense of “I am an outsider, I don't belong here”. This feeling brought on a huge sense of loneliness in my life. I was surrounded by people externally but internally I felt alone.


In various spaces, although I was welcomed and embraced there was always a looming sense of “I am an outsider, I don't belong here”. This feeling brought on a huge sense of loneliness in my life. I was surrounded by people externally but internally I felt alone. 

Once I was able to call myself out on this feeling I started to dive into solutions to get out of my head. And eventually out of my own way. In this episode, I dive into the importance of feeling a true sense of belonging and community in your life. 

While on this journey I started reading about Belonging and Community. One of my favorite books that I read specifically on this topic was Braving the Wilderness by Brene Brown. In the book, Brene Brown quoted Maya Angelou “You are only free when you realize you belong no place you belong every place, no place at all. The price is high the reward is great”. This quote has truly revolutionized the way I look at and think about belonging and community.

The conversation doesn’t stop here. Follow my journey on Instagram at @gsdwithgeorgie as I continue to DO THE MOST!

Doing the Most S04 Ep 10 - Leveraging Failure as Fuel with Miha Matlievski the Fail Coach

"One business coach has forged his approach to helping entrepreneurs and business executives by using a monumental personal failure and eventual redemption to help get others where they need to go to find their personal success and fulfillment.”


"One business coach has forged his approach to helping entrepreneurs and business executives by using a monumental personal failure and eventual redemption to help get others where they need to go to find their personal success and fulfillment.

At just 18 years old, Miha Matlievski, a Slovenian high school dropout, dreamed of becoming a successful entrepreneur. And he pursued it with a passion, putting in 12 years of hard work that resulted in four successful businesses and a personal net worth of $15M. 

But in December 2009, an unexpected call from his bank, which had decided to foreclose on his real estate investments, brought his world crashing down around him. That one negative event instigated an avalanche of ruin for him and his businesses, resulting in his four, once-successful companies going bankrupt."

Ask Georgie - Where is the line between consulting and helping?

We are back with brand new episodes of Ask Georgie. This season Ask Georgie will be a regular segment of the podcast. To kick off the questions I answer “Where is the line between consulting and helping?”

We’ve all heard the saying “If you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life.” That’s not 100% true, if you’re only doing what you love all the time with no clear line between helping and consulting there will be major problems.
