#WakeUpToWisdom

WakeUpToWisdom is back. And in true Gigi Farier fashion — we're starting with the real story. In this season two opener, Gigi takes us through the two years that kept her away from this microphone. Not one thing. Everything. Consecutive losses of close friends. A relationship ending. Apartments falling through. Bodybuilding preps that didn't go to plan. Financial instability. Friendships evolving. And through all of it — the quietly disorienting process of unmasking as an AuDHD woman, possibly for the first time in her life. She opens up about the self doubt that crept in — am I too weird, do I go too deep, does anyone actually want to hear what I have to say? And how studying psychology didn't make things easier — it made her more careful, more ethical, more intentional about the responsibility that comes with having a platform and a voice people trust. But this episode isn't about the losses. It's about what emerged from them. Gigi shares how her AuDHD diagnosis reignited something in her — a clarity of purpose, a permission to finally be fully herself, and a legacy living approach that reframed everything she had been through. The losses didn't break her story. They became part of it. WakeUpToWisdom was always therapeutic for Gigi's own healing journey. Coming back to this microphone is both a personal return and a purposeful one — because the conversations this show was built for are needed now more than ever. This is Season 2. This is the rebirth. And we're just getting started. For the woman who has ever wondered if she's too much — this episode is for you.

In this episode, we dive into setting boundaries, understanding the roots of our internal self-talk, and how to prevent others' words from defining our truth. Join me as I share powerful lessons from my twenties that shaped my journey to self-empowerment and authenticity.

Not everyone approaches grief with the compassion needed. Some reactions can be so hurtful and upsetting they can bring up anger we never knew we had and sometimes the loss in and of itself can spiral us into deep depression and a sea of endless thought and longing for those we miss the most. This episode was not the easiest to flow through and record at many points I lost my train of thought or just plainly wanted to cry so there will be a part two when I feel called to continue it because there's much more to say but for now I hope this helps those who it is designed for. May anyone who's grieving find the things they need to have a healthy relationship with grief and loss if we choose to view it as loss and may we be supported in the ways we individually need at least by one source. Sending love to you and honestly to myself. Grief is a rollercoaster at times and ocean at others a tidal wave and sometimes a very calm m river or lake. It i ohh DEEPLY personal yet often shared while still being felt solely by the i social in ways anyone outside them may never fathom- May we have all we need to survive the bad days and see the sun or even learn to be hopeful again. Dedicated to the memory of my 3 favourite Angels T, J and J and of course to yours too.

Are you approachable or do you think you're beyond reproach? Is a convo with you a safe space or a battleground? Hunni … in short can people get through to you are is it a nightmare? Join me on this episode to get down to the nitty gritty of how remaining open and not taking it all so personally can really be the key to propelling ourselves into greater success, fulfilment and overall joy! Let's get into it

Often we know exactly what's for us and what's not but we spend so much time ignoring ourselves sometimes that we become numb to the signs signals and warnings our bodies send us to alert us that whatever we are doing ain't for us or at least not any more or not right now. This episode explores some signals our bodies send us when it's time for change. Intuitively we know, we've got to stop suppressing the signs when the body “talks”, it's time to listen.

Looking for support and validation from expected yet incapable sources can be one of the toughest pills to swallow and dealing with it can most definitely get the best of us. I've dealt with this a lot and I'm still learning but who says I can share my findings as I grow so hopefully we can grow together. Enjoy

You may not understand them, you may have a hard time establishing your gem but I assure you we ALL need them and equally importantly we ALL neeeeeeed to respect them. In this episode I uncover why we lack boundaries how to keep them and why they matter so much. Remember to like share and subscribe it helps this podcast immensely!

I'm definitely a woman of metaphors and connecting the dots is a tool I utilise for growth. I am highly comparative and that sometimes really helps me deduce massive and crucial lessons from sometimes what might be deemed as very simple situations. This episode touches on everything from imposter syndrome to internal glass ceilings, to how judgmental preconceived notions can really impede our ability to see peoples' truth and even our own. My journey has taught me so much and I hope it can help you too.
