¶ Empowering Women Through Community Support
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 . Last week in this podcast , I don't know if it was like episode 67 , 68 . I don't know .
I had changed it up because I just thought I would just do a season one and have like the the number of episodes , just like , keep going , you know , like , and eventually I get to like episode 1,352 .
But when I was on that last episode at what flew out of my mouth was thinking I think how it went , was I said something and then I said on yesterday's episode . And then I caught myself and went shit . I just said yesterday's episode and prior to this I was uploading once a week In the second .
In that moment I just felt like , okay , well , I said yesterday's episode , it must be God , the universe , spirit , my guides , my angels saying Sandra , do daily podcasts . And as it flew out of my mouth . I thought , shit , I have to do daily podcasts , okay , and I committed to it . In that moment it felt like I needed a new season for that .
It felt like I needed fresh , new energy . So I created season one episode or season two , episode one , and I kind of went on from there . But I also knew that I needed there was a couple of things . I announced it on the podcast , so , you know , I couldn't take it back . But I also felt like I needed to gather my girls .
So I am in in this networking group . Uh , I don't , I don't . There's like 60 some thousand women in this networking group . There's like 60 some thousand women in this networking group . But there's some of us who are VIPs who meet on Wednesdays .
But what I thought was I need to gather my girls , I need to get support , I need to have people who I know are going to listen , so that I don't shit the bed on this Right . And so I posted in this group and I said that I felt I had a podcast that I loved , that I felt like I had abandoned and I was going to show up messy .
I was going to show up without editing . I was going to show up and do 30 days of daily podcasts . Now I am starting to love it so much Maybe I'll continue , but I didn't want to commit to 360 . I'm not Taylor Quinn . I didn't want to commit to 365 days and then fall down , so I just want to start 30 days at a time . I can do 30 days at a time .
I think you can do anything for 30 days . That's what I figure . But I posted in this group and I said I'm showing up messy , I'm showing up in my own energy , without any editing and just like let's fucking go . And what I said in the bottom was it's rated E for a reason Like I am a sweary chick .
What was interesting was that post probably got weight , probably double , maybe even more of the comments and the likes and the loves and the interest that I have ever gotten in that group . And I have a number of the women who are in that group who are now either subscribed to this podcast , they're listening to this podcast . I see you .
I love that you're here . Thank you so much for supporting me . Thank you so much for showing the fuck up for me , because I see I can look into the episodes and I can see . I can see that there's people from my , my , my twin , from Cape town , I like . I can see that she's watching or listening to my podcast and I love the fact that she's here .
I love the fact that you're all here listening to what the fuck am I saying every day . It means so much because I get into this energy of like wanting to show up for you . I think that that is what is amazing about community . When I was a Beachbody coach , I loved the challenge . When I was a Beachbody challenger too , I saw such value in the community .
I saw such value in creating this environment where you're supported by people , especially supported by women . I think , man , we shit on ourselves a lot , right , and each other a lot . I don't know where this mean girl scrap came from , but we need to get over ourselves . I remember hearing one time I mean men make more money than us .
There are more millionaire men , there are more billionaire men , and I think men just kind of do their own thing in the way that they do and we are like crabs in a box . One woman starts to climb out of the box and somehow we got to pull her down . It doesn't make us climb out of the box , you know , but this is what we do .
So I love creating containers where everyone is supporting , where all of us women are supporting each other and we cheer on each other like there's no tomorrow .
I love intentionally placing myself in groups like that , in networking events , where women support women , where we show the fuck up If someone says I really need you to follow my podcast just for a little bit , just to keep me going past day three .
Day three is always a tough one for me , but just to keep me going through day three when I it is so incredible to be able to post in that group and have a bunch of women go . I'm following you . This seems fun . Fuck it , let's go . Thank you , because I'm going to join you . I'm going to do the same thing . I have a podcast too .
I'm going to go live every single day when I can get messages going . Fuck , yes , let's go . Thank you for posting this . I'm doing it too . It feels so empowering . It feels so amazing . What , like ? What are the ? Where are the ? Where are you showing up ? Who are you surrounding yourselves with ?
I used to say to my kids all the time if you are the average of the five people that you hang out with . Stop hanging out with shit rats , right ? Stop hanging out with people who are not going to get you to where you want to go . My son is playing semi-pro football . He hangs out with football players . He hangs out with players .
He intentionally surrounds himself with players who either have played pro or are in the same like in their arena with him . Right , they're in the same boat . They're working towards the same things . I intentionally create containers that are supportive and worth
¶ Building a Supportive Community of Women
it . In what the fuck did she just manifest in my membership ? Called the powerhouse . Every single woman in that group would be supportive of another woman in that group . If they fell down , they would pick them up . If they had something to celebrate , they would celebrate even more so than you ever could imagine . Gather your girls . Where can you find them ?
