Speaker 1

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 . Well , welcome to another daily episode of what the fuck did she just say .

I could call this what the fuck did she just do , because I am still like , I'm still sitting here thinking , oh shit , daily podcasts , okay , anyway , yes , what the fuck did she just do ? Okay , but a couple of episodes ago I was talking about authenticity . I think it was episode 68 , but I could be wrong , but I'm pretty sure it was episode 68 .

And so I was talking about authenticity . I was saying showing up as your authentic self , like showing up like messy , because messy or imperfection , or perfect Isn't inspiring , perfect Doesn't exist , like all of those things that you know .

I told myself when I was really thinking about trying not to be perfect but holding myself back because it wasn't like , let's just face it . Like all those years ago I would have all of these quotes about perfection because I think it held me back for a long fucking time . And then I started to just show up who I was .

But when I was doing this podcast , I felt like all of the podcasts that I was listening to , like they were all perfectly curated , right , like they , oh man , like my very first business coach . She was an actress , slash , an actress , turned beach body coach , turned business coach , and so all of her trainings were fucking perfect .

Man , like everything she said was perfect . It was all on iMovie . She had like pre-recorded trainings . She was like she didn't have one missed step . And so I kind of like she was my very first business coach , right , like 10 years ago , whatever , I guess less than that . But . And so I was sitting thinking , oh shit , this is what I have to do .

No , this is not , it's not me , it was never me . But I kind of convinced myself . You know , like I should be like fixing my audio and paying attention to what I'm saying . Um , guess what ? The last several episodes , this is just all fucking me . I am not going to delete anything .

I'm not going to take out if , if , I have a lot of ums and ands and buts and like long pauses . I guess this is what it's like to fucking hang out with me . So you're welcome . You're welcome Imperfect , imperfect as fuck , and you're welcome . And I hope that this gives you the opportunity and the permission .

I mean I said this to a couple of episodes ago that I feel like Taylor Quinn gave me permission to show up when I've been listening to her to show up messy , and I didn't need the permission and you don't need the permission , but I'm giving you the permission . Just do it fucking messy , like , and too too much of the time we are focused on .

But what are all of the pitfalls ? Like we're future casting , we're finding problems in the future that we may never come up against . Right , like , just do the work . Right , fucking now . Like , what is your next right step ? And so this is actually not at all where I was going to go with this podcast , but we're going to go .

We're going to go somewhere else now . Um , so what is ? What is your next right step ? Here's what I know to be true For every single client that is sitting in this perfection , sitting in the need to be perfect , sitting in this need for everything , all of the potential pitfalls to be fixed before you take action .

For every single client that was like that and when I felt like that too , I really could see it now is this deep feeling of not being worthy of the success at the end , this idea of like who the fuck am I ? I am not , you know , I'm not perfect . Who the fuck am I ? I don't deserve a hundred thousand dollar months . Who the fuck am I ?

I don't deserve to be charging this amount . Who the fuck am I ? I'm not good enough , pretty enough , smart enough , thin enough , successful enough ? I'm not enough . I'm not enough . And what bullshit is this ?

You know , by the time when I turned probably 49 , 50 , I'm 52 now when I'm recording this but when I turned about 49 or 50 , I really thought , fuck , I have less time ahead of me , quite likely , than I have behind me . Shit , how have I held myself back ? Because of fear of judgment , because of fear of success , fear of burnout ?

I burnt myself out so fucking bad when I was working for the government . Oh my God , I pushed myself so hard to make money for other fucking people Ridiculous . As soon as I left , they filled my spot . Not a big problem . I mean , I think they filled it with three people .

But regardless , why was I busting my ass and risking my health for to make someone else money ? To make someone else like , like it's ridiculous . So I feel like , but at the time it was like , oh , but can I do it ? I don't know that I am worthy of success .

I knew there was one time I had my human design read and this woman said why are you not leaving your government job ? And I said because I'm making six figures , I'm making $100 , I'm making a hundred thousand dollars a year , and so I'm scared that I can't make a hundred thousand dollars a year . Business coaching .

And she said but in a world of unlimited potentiality , you could make a hundred thousand dollars in a month . I will never , ever , ever , forget those words . Those are exactly the words she used and I won't forget them . And it was like a North star . It's a North star for me because when she said it , I fucking felt it .

When she said it , I thought this is where I'm capable of going , this is what I'm capable of doing . And here the disconnect . As soon as I felt it , I instantly thought I don't know that . I , I can do that I don't know that I'm worthy of creating that . I don't know that I'm enough to create that .

And every single time when we don't feel worthy of achieving something that we want , something that we desire , every single time we will sabotage ourselves always , in all the ways , every single time . Worthiness is the fucking key Working on and doing the things that you need to do in order to feel worthy of achieving the thing that you want to .

When you do that , when you work on your worthiness , you will stop fucking self-sabotaging . And it doesn't really matter what it is that you want to do . Like , let's say , you want to lose weight . Okay , I keep talking about weight loss and business because I see them as so connected . I see them as connected for myself .

I used to be a beach body coach and and PS still love beach body , still promote beach body Well , it's now called Body , but anyway . So shout out to all the body chicks but I see it as so similar .

And so for any of my clients , any of my clients that I , or my challengers when I was a Beachbody coach , for any of them , if they would say , okay , yes , I know , this is what I want , I'm seeing the transformation . Right . Ps , if you're in business , it's the same right . You share the transformation .

So you see the transformation , you see the before picture and the after picture and you go shit . If she can do it , I can do it . If he can do it , I can do it . If he can do it , I can do it . That's in three months , that's in six weeks . If she can do it , I can do it .

What will I look like in three months time If I just do that fucking program ? I thought it would just follow that program . And then we start . We're all excited , the dopamine hit kicks in . We're all excited , we're going to go . And then what happens ? Hit kicks in . We're all excited , we're going to go . And then what happens ?

Day three haven't lost 35 pounds yet . Day three feels tough . Day three , not as exciting . It looked fun to do that workout . Now all of a sudden it's like shit , not fun . Now I'm sore , I'm tired and I don't want to show up . I don't want to do all of these power moves in body lava .

This is the program that I'm currently doing body lava and it's not as exciting and it's not as fun . And then all of a sudden it's like fuck , this isn't going to work . I'm never going to commit to this . I'm never going to be able to do it . I'm never going to commit to this . I'm never going to be able to do it . I'm just going to fail at this .

And we don't prioritize ourselves because we don't think we're worthy of the success that we want . Everything , everything changes . Everything fucking changes in your life If you know that you are worthy of you're , worthy of achieving it , and when you commit to the steps that you need to do to build that worthiness muscle .

So that's my daily podcast for today , and I am so excited If you are feeling like you're self-sabotaging all the time , if you feel like you have these big , huge goals that you keep thinking about and then you keep going and eating a fucking sandwich and forgetting about them .

If and I don't care what it is , I don't care if it's weight loss , I don't care if it's um , it is , I don't care if it's weight loss , I don't care if it's decluttering your house .

I don't care if it is a hundred thousand dollar months , I don't care if it's writing your children's book , I don't care what the fuck it is If you have a goal that you can't stop thinking about it means that you can achieve it .

If you are not taking steps every single day to get towards that goal , it is because you don't feel you're worthy of achieving it . And that , my friend , is why I created this course called Worth it . It's called hashtag worth it . By the way , I'm using the hashtag and so this is going to be five days solid . Live with me the first time .

Anyway , I might resell it , I'm not sure but live with me in October and I'm going to take you through all of the things that I know , all of the things that I've done in order to get , like , build that worthiness for myself , so that I show the fuck up and I don't self-sabotage myself anymore . I used to self-sabotage all the time .

If you hear me say sandwich , it's because this is my joke . It's like you know I , I decide that I want to lose weight , and then I go , and you know I and I start , and then I get distracted and then I go and eat a sandwich . This is , this is just the term that I use , and I should do a podcast on sandwich anyway .

And so this is it's like it doesn't matter what it is . You decide that you're going to level up and then you eat a sandwich . You decide that you're going to create a course and you get it all done and then you go and eat a sandwich . You don't launch the fucking thing .

This will help you in like , develop that worthiness , that inner confidence , that integrity to your word , that keeping your own word to yourself . I am so obsessed with this program Worth it . We start October , the 20th 2024 . I am like I can't tell you it will change your fucking life . It will change your life so I will put um .

I will put the course link in this um in the episode show notes , and I so look forward to seeing you there . Your whole life can fucking change in just a heartbeat . Your whole life could change . Remember last podcast when I was talking about the rubber boot .

Your whole life can change when this might be the stick that you need to remove Worthiness or this feeling of unworthiness . That's the stick you need to move for everything to flow . 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 .
