¶ Finding Inspiration in Authenticity
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 , okay . So last episode I was talking about how I appreciated Mel Robbins realness and her vulnerability , and I think I got distracted .
I don't actually know , but anyway , I was talking about how I think we have , not necessarily even mentors , but like people that inspire us for a purpose , for a reason , like they have something , they show up in a certain fucking way . They have something that we really admire . We really appreciate and I and I really believe that that is like .
It's like messages from God , messages from the universe that says like go here , do this , it will work . And so I've been . I've been thinking about this lately and I've been thinking about who else I really appreciate . So Mel Robbins is one of them , but even like I'm sure I've told you this on this podcast I know it's been posted all over the place .
But when I hired um I , I worked with a coach , and this was a few years ago . I had received a lump sum of money and so I decided that I was going to bet on myself and I was going to go all in and I was going to spend this money to hire a high ticket coach .
And so while I was looking , I was looking but there was this girl that just kept standing out to me . I loved the purple , I loved her sass , but here's the crazy part . I loved how , when she showed up in other people's groups , she showed up as a learner . Um and I . I love that . She was very authentic to herself . I mean this chick like her hair .
She lived in a van with her . I mean , they chose to drive around Australia . So it wasn't like she lived in a van cause she couldn't afford it . She lived because they chose to experience the world with their kids . They did homeschooling in this van and , like a lot of times , her hair was just all over the fucking place .
And I actually I said to Cam okay , so you're going to kill me , but I want to take $70,000 or $75,000 . And I want to hire a coach who lives in her van . Like that sounds fucking nuts , right , it just sounds crazy . But I loved her authenticity . I love that she was just who the fuck she was .
And when I hired her I said to her like I just want to every day , I just want to brush her hair . And she pissed her pants , laughing and like she posted that everywhere . If you want to meet the girl who just wants to brush my hair here , she is Sandra Priestly , business coach with a feng shui twist .
She actually said and feng shui is my party trick Like and I just , I , just , I fucking just loved how she was so authentic . And then recently I've been listening to Taylor Quinn a lot and like over the years , I've been kind of watching her from afar , just like randomly in 2020 . I think it was in 2020 .
Anyway , you know , when everyone was showing up and dancing on reels and I didn't have TikTok at the time , but everyone was showing up and just randomly dancing and I thought that would be the fucking day that you will see me dance online . Like never in a million years will you , will I dance online . Not authentic to me .
And actually I saw majority of people , the majority of business coaches that were dancing on reels . I thought not a good look for you . Nope , nope , nope . Why are you doing this ? This is like fucking thirsty as hell . This is like you were prostituting yourself in the industry for business coaching . Like , stop doing this , it doesn't look good on you .
Here's the thing , taylor fuck , it looked good on her . I do not know what it was , but I could have watched her fucking dance all the time . I mean , it always had some sort of business coaching messaging or whatever you know , but I fucking loved it . And just recently I've started to watch her podcast . It's called Cake Money , confidential .
And I am telling you I don't know why , but I am so obsessed . Well , I know why . I'll tell you why . I'm going to tell you right now I'm so obsessed with how she's showing up , so she decided to show up every single day for 365 days . Like , drop a podcast every day for 365 days . Now , if you don't podcast every , I'm telling you it's a fucking deal .
Like I was thinking holy shit , 365 days , she's got to have a damn huge team to make that shit happen . Right ?
Because every time I mean you can , you can just report , record the podcast for 15 minutes or 30 minutes or whatever the hell it is , but like the amount of time that it takes to go through your podcast to listen to it again , to take out all the ands and the ums and the buts and the shit , that doesn't make sense .
I mean it is fucking painful and I hate it . And I also hate sending my podcast to someone and then like waiting on their timeline because by the time I do the podcast , I just want it , I just want it out . I am the chick that's like won't do a podcast for like two weeks and then I will record one and it's like , okay , send to my VA .
Here you go . I need this in five seconds because I want it uploaded right , fucking now , cause I'm so excited about it . Well , guess what Other people's agendas aren't always my pride , like my priority , isn't always theirs . Um , my husband used to say we're planning on your part does not constitute a crisis on mine .
They used to say this at work and that's kind of what it felt like I was just like I got so fucking excited that I just wanted it out , and then it would be like a week , which is like justifiable . Okay , she gets a chance to take some time . My time lens is not hers , but here's why I love Taylor's podcast .
So she says , okay , I'm going to do 365 days and I am like thinking this is nuts , but she's almost inspiring me to do it I fucking love . Every single morning I'm thinking , ooh , what the fuck is she going to say right now ? Ps , that's what this podcast is called . What the fuck did she just say ? Why ? I mean , why am I saying that about someone else ?
I should be saying that about me . So what do I need to do ? I started listening . Every single morning . She shows up in my , in my podcast feed , which I fucking love , like it's right there . I see it every single morning . She shows up in my podcast feed , which I fucking love . It's right there . I see it every single morning .
And , taylor , if you're listening , I have listened to a couple of episodes numerous times . So if you see Cold Lake Canada , this is me . Hi , I'm Sandra . I'm mildly obsessed with your podcast , but here's the thing . So this is what I love about it . I love that it is messy as fuck .
It is authentically who she is and she doesn't make it super labor intensive . I mean , it is messy Like she will go . She'll be going on a walk . I can hear the stroller . I can hear like with her kids . I can hear the stroller . Sometimes I like I can hear her walking a lot of the times .
The last podcast that she did it cut out on her , like her audio cut out on her . I am not bothered by this at all . She's walking along and then she's talking and talking and all of a sudden she's like oh , hi , says hi to someone that's walking past and I mean sometimes her baby is like in the room with her and hungry and she'll stop and go .
Do you want some milk ? Like I mean . And I got kids that are adults and I am here for it . I'm here to listen to her realness , her authenticity , her vulnerability . I mean I I'm obsessed with it and so I mean I watch and I listened to Jana and Taylor and Mel because they bring something to me .
They're a what I admire in someone else but what I want to bring out more in myself . And especially for Taylor's episodes like her , her podcast , I'm thinking , shit , I have been doing this so wrong . I have been holding off on doing my podcasts because I'm avoiding the editing , like I'm avoiding the fucking editing . Like well , taylor's not editing .
Why am I editing ? And I'm thinking this in my mind why am I not editing ? Remember , last episode , I was also saying that I wasn't just thinking like of what I was saying , but I was also thinking of what you're hearing me say . Well , that's just fucking stupid , because when I do that , I get out of the vortex . When I do that , I get out of channeling .
I mean this right here , right now . What you're going to be hearing on a go forward basis is me just fucking yapping and I'm not editing . I'm not editing anymore . I hate it . If I'm going to absolutely need to stop trying to be perfect , I'm not . None of us are perfect . And also , perfect is not inspiring .
Guess what imperfect is what's real and showing up is what's real . So you , when I stop thinking about what you're hearing and I stop thinking , oh my gosh , I've said a whole bunch of ands , buts and ums in this podcast . When I start thinking that , then I start doing that we , we are what we attract , we put what we , what we think about , we bring about .
So why in the living piss am I thinking about saying um and and but all the time ? Cause I don't want to take them out of the podcast . So , guess what ?
I'm just going to show up and I'm just going to talk and I'm just going to channel shit , like I do in my coaching sessions , like I do with like anytime I'm training , when I am on , when I'm in the vortex , when I am just straight up channeling shit . This is what it sounds like . I don't have things written down , I don't have .
I mean , I have dyslexia . I am not going to write a whole bunch of shit down . I'm not going to say like if I did , we would be here for days , you would . I would never get a podcast out . I like to do my podcast with , like an idea . For example , the next podcast I'm going to do is called the rubber boot phenomenon .
It's going to be fabulous , by the way , and that is all I'm going . That is all that I'm going to have written down on my whiteboard rubber boot phenomenon and it's going to be fabulous . I'm just going to talk and I love , I love . Thank you so much , taylor . I love
¶ Daily Podcasting Inspiration
that . Her 365 day podcast , 365 days of podcasting . I love that it showed up in my feed because I noticed that she had not been podcasting for quite some time and then , all of a sudden , she showed up like a fucking bomb , every day , every day , like just exploding all over my my podcast newsfeed and I am loving it .
And so I love it Like thank you so much because what she's done is probably what she didn't anticipate . But she's given me this little chick , 50 plus something years old I'm probably could be her mother , but she has given me the opportunity and the permission , which is crazy .
I don't need permission to do my own fucking business , but it's like permission to be messy , permission to just show the fuck up , throw my intro and my outro on and get on with it . So here we go . 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 . Leave a review down below .
I look forward to bringing you along on this journey , journey , and I will see you in the next episode .
