I'm so glad that you're here . You are listening to what the fuck did she just say with your host ? That's me , sandra Priestly . I'm all about living our best life and finding our zone of brilliance and then removing the resistance so that we can go all in .
I say random , crazy shit , which is why I called this podcast the way that I did , and I really hate long drawn out intros . So let's fucking go .
Imagine that you have two energies . You can only choose one . One is about doubting yourself , second guessing every move , playing small . The other , trusting yourself , taking up space and knowing you're capable . You can't straddle this fucking fence . You have to choose one . Which would you choose ? And fence , you have to choose one . Which would you choose ?
And I really want you to think about that , because one is a lot easier the one where you doubt yourself , second guess , overthink , overanalyze , choose to procrastinate . Choose to make sure that everything else is perfect . Procrastinate . Choose to make sure that everything else is perfect .
That one it takes a long time , it takes you away from your goals , or it takes a long time to get to your goals , but it's the easy one . The difficult one is trusting yourself , showing up in the world , focusing , being confident , doing the thing that you know you need to do , taking up space , showing up in the world , being your bold , authentic self .
It's funny because that one is the one that takes the most amount of effort and it's the most effortless . It is effortless to be your bold , authentic self . It is effortless to just be in your own brilliance . But wow , we talk ourselves out of it , right ? So now here's the thing . The first one where you doubt yourself , that one is insecurity .
The second one is badass , and you cannot be insecure and badass at the same time , so you got to choose one . If you keep letting insecurity win , you're never going to step in your full potential . So the goal has to be to push yourself , to push yourself , to talk yourself into badass .
Choosing badass You've got to be the one who talks herself into something instead of being the girl who talks herself out of it . How many times when ? I'll give you an example . This morning I got up and I was going to go to the walking track , because you know , I'm on day three , I'm in a rhythm now , and so I just went , didn't even think about it .
I just got up , found a time that worked and I went . I usually try to go to the gym early before my brain wakes up , but the first day and all of the days up until that time , guess what was happening ? I was talking myself out of it .
I spent more time talking to myself out of going for a walk , going to the gym , than I ever did talking myself into it . I think we hold ourselves back and we wait for having enough confidence to start . But confidence isn't a feeling . It is a choice .
A lot of women wait to feel confident before they actually do the dang thing , but confidence is built by doing it , by showing up , by taking action , by proving to yourself that you can handle it the women in the work . We're showing up every single fucking day .
What already happened after the first 30 days is we were starting to gain confidence in ourselves , starting to gain belief in ourselves , starting to gain belief in ourselves and starting to really notice that the more we took action , the more brilliance was showing up , the more opportunities were showing up and we were becoming way more confident as a result .
If you keep telling yourself you're not enough , you're not ready , you're not as good as Sally Sue next door , that's exactly what's going to happen . If you are choosing insecure , that's what's going to show up in the world . But we're going to start acting like the badass version of yourself and watch how everything changes .
The next time you start feeling insecure , ask yourself what would the most confident , successful version of me do in this moment , when you feel insecure and you're choosing badass ? Can you ask yourself , will you force yourself ? Will you choose to ask yourself what would the badass version of me do . What would the badass version of me walk into this room like ?
What would the badass energy feel like ? And then go and do that , even if it feels strange . And then go and do that Even if it feels strange , even if you're scared . That's how you make the shift . And small changes , just one thing every single day , tiny little changes , make a huge difference in the long run .
And if you start with one thing today , you start with walking in the room , shoulders back , practicing walking into the room , shoulders back , practicing walking into the room , shoulders back , head up , chest out , walking in like a badass , dressing like a badass , making choices , like a badass speaking with authority .
The more you embody that confidence , the more you act . In that way . Badass results . There is way less room for insecurity to run the show when badass energy shows up . First you get to decide who runs your life . You can't be both insecure and badass and , let's face it , you and I both know which one you're meant to step into .
You and I both know which one you're meant to be . One you're meant to step into you and .
I both know which one you're meant to be . Thank you so much for listening . I hope you've had some laughs , maybe some ideas , and that you've been inspired to take some type of action toward the life you've always dreamed of . If you feel so called , I would love it if you would share with your besties and leave a review down below .
I look forward to bringing you along on this journey and I will see you in the next episode .
