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, it's February the 3rd and I want to know if you are listening and you took on a challenge beginning January, like did you make a new year's resolution? I always do.

Speaker 1:

There was a period of time where I would instead I'd convinced myself right Allowed the fucking internet to convince me that New Year's resolutions were terrible, that no one kept those resolutions, and so we should have a word of the year. Guess what? I never fucking remember what my word of the year is. It's too intangible for me to actually achieve anything. I need a New Year's resolution. I always have. I probably always will. I don't think you can convince me otherwise, and there has been years and times in the past where I definitely made the New Year's resolution and then shit the bed on it within the first month. Absolutely Usually those were the times where I chose a big goal or an intangible goal like a goal way too ambitious for me to continue, and then other times it was just too intangible so that it didn't drive me to achieve it, and sometimes I didn't know why in the fuck I was going to do it. So if you don't have a why for it, there's no drive to actually complete it. But the years when I actually didn't give up, I achieved so much more than just the goal that I had set for myself. It was life-changing in so many more ways. And this is the thing is, when we commit to ourselves, we commit to our goal, we commit to the path we commit to ourselves. It's like we go first and the universe just starts to provide us with a whole bunch of magic.

Speaker 1:

I was having a conversation with my podcast co-host, lee Cuban. So she and I have a podcast called the happy half hour and you can find us on Spotify or Apple podcasts and I always search the happy half hour with Lee and Sandra Then you'll get to us. But I was talking to her the other day and she was mentioning about how there's like something magical happens at day 30. The day at day 30, when you've really committed to this goal and you've shown up every single day for 30 days, really focused on that for the month of January, because of course, it was the first 30 days of this 90 day challenge that I've created called the Work.

Speaker 1:

On day 14, I'm not even kidding On day 14, my life turned into a fucking dumpster fire, like that's how it felt in my brain, like just everything went to shit all in the same day. And I really, truly believe that if you're meant for greatness, you're going to have to be able to handle the flip side. So when you're meant for greatness, you're going to have to be able to handle the flip side. So when you're meant for amazing things, pretty shitty stuff is going to happen. And so when this day 14 showed up and everything just started to fall apart a little bit, I just recognized that it was something that I was meant to grow through on the way to success and I just kept my eye on the fact that day 30 was coming. When I look back over the last month, when I look back over the month of January of this challenge, it is literally shocking to me how much has shifted, how much. I have shifted In so many ways. My life has up-leveled like tenfold and in ways that I didn't anticipate. The other women in the group are doing the same thing. I even consider this podcast. To be honest with you, if I look back, just as I'm speaking here, I'm thinking about this.

Speaker 1:

I was watching Taylor Quinn, or I was listening to Taylor Quinn, who had announced that she was doing 365 days of daily podcast episodes, and I was so inspired by that and I thought you know, I'm really struggling with consistently releasing weekly podcasts. I didn't like the editing of them and I just I felt like I wasn't sure what to say. I was struggling with coming up with content and she was doing 365 days. So I mean, surely I can do 30. So I committed to 30 days. At the end of the 30 days, I started realizing I had more to say and I started realizing that the conversations that I have with my clients and with my friends and in like, just in general, they mean something to people and I could help people. And so after the 30 days, I realized, um, hey, I have a lot more to say. The more I speak, the more podcast episodes I released, the more shit I have to say, the more podcast episodes I release, the more shit I have to say, and after 30 days I thought this is pretty fucking easy, it's pretty fucking fun and I have tons of people that are following me and that are listening to me. Now let's keep going.

Speaker 1:

I have done a few years of weekly podcast episodes and I'd fallen off to the point where there was months where I didn't release anything. And, by the way, this is what Taylor was doing as well. She was showing up weekly, I believe, and then she stopped releasing podcasts completely. And then she just popped up out of nowhere announcing 365 days of podcasting. But I announced I didn't think that I could do 365. So I committed to 30 and I publicly announced that I was going to do 30 days. And here we fucking are.

Speaker 1:

It has been 130 episodes, daily released episodes, and I haven't missed a day. I released one on Christmas day. I released one on the day that I didn't feel good. I released one on January 1st. I released one on my birthday. I released one on days that I'm traveling. I release them on days when I have company. Here I'm able to do so much more than I ever ever believed that I could because of two things. I set a goal. It was obtainable and I committed to myself. Obtainable and I committed to myself. There was no way that I was going to not release a podcast episode for those 30 days. And it is now 130 days and I still am not going to miss an episode releasing. I'm not going to miss a day. I don't know how long I'm going to continue for, but maybe 365 days.

Speaker 1:

Action just breeds more action and it's like when you go first, the universe follows. It is co-creating with the universe. I can't fucking wait to see what happens at the end of the 90 days of the work challenge. But I mean I'm just going to keep continuing, and some of the women already are saying that they are too, which is super cool. But I mean, what kind of magic happens when we just take action towards our goal? Like what kind of magic happens when we commit to ourselves? It's next level magic because the universe favors people who take action.

Speaker 1:

So if you have a goal and you haven't yet achieved it, or you want to shift your life in any way, choose a goal, commit to yourself, join the challenge. If you want accountability, groups fucking work, but so do partners. Set your goal, make a plan and commit to yourself every day. Hold on for 30 fucking days. Show up every single day for 30 days and then come back and tell me how much your life has changed. Days and then come back and tell me how much your life has changed. 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.
