WTF did she just say?
Oh my goshhhhhhhhhh welcome to my podcast!!! I'm so excited that you're here and I am honoured that you choose to place ME in your AirPods every week!!!
Here's a bit about me:
My name is Sandra. I'm a business coach for women, a feng shui practitioner and a 2x national leadership award winner. In saying all of that though, I feel like I'm just a girl from Saskatchewan, who is put on this earth to inspire you to step into your power ... right fuckin' now.
I think that all too often, we convince ourselves that there is nothing we can do ... that our life "is what it is" and that ONE DAY we might be able to have the life that we dreamed of.
Uhmmmm NO.
That's bullshit.
Sorry ... but it's true. In a split second, you can choose differently. In THIS moment, you can take that courageous step toward the life you desire. It's my job, my gift and my obsession to help you share your sparkle with the world and I'm excited to get started.
You got this. Let's go.
Sandra

[TRUTHBOMB TUESDAY] a three-letter word that keeps you from your goals
Eeeek I really love that you're here, in my show notes.
I'm not entirely sure how many people actually READ show notes (besides you and me) but I'm THRILLED that you're here.
Today's podcast was something I was thinking about while on the elliptical machine at the gym. In JANUARY of this year there is no way I could have had the motivation/energy to go ... I had a LOT of "BUT's".
They were all excuses.
Once I was able to see them as one of the ways I was holding myself from losing weight, I could take the steps I needed to ... to get my ass back in the gym.
First ... few minutes on a mini trampoline at home ... followed by a 60 min walk each day ... and then THE GYM. It didn't take a long period of time ... I just took me to realize that my BUT was holding me back.

Hey there, girl, and welcome back to the podcast. You know, years ago when I had a free group on Facebook and I used to do two videos a week, on Fridays I would do something called Franchois Fridays, which I now have on the podcast, and on Tuesdays I did something called Truth Bomb Tuesdays, which I am now going to resurrect for this podcast as well. The women in my free group loved both of these days, to be honest, but Truth Bomb Tuesdays got the most interaction. Function by Fridays was like ah, check, oh okay, I need a welcome mat in front of my front door. Got it? Thanks, sandra Off. I go to buy a welcome mat.
Speaker 1:Truth Bomb Tuesdays got a lot more engagement because I said ridiculously stupid shit, because I think in general, the people that I attract like that sort of kick in your ass sort of stories. They like to take on dares and they like to take on challenges and they don't like excuses and also a lot of the times. My Truth Bomb Tuesdays, I would say, could also be known as how Sandra fucked up and what she learned from it Tuesday, and so I'm going to tell you a lot of stories about me and how I fucked something up and what I learned and how I shifted, so that maybe you can either see this same pattern in yourself or not have to go down that stupid fucking path that I did. Okay, so today it's Truth Bomb Tuesday. Welcome to it. Now, I don't know if you've ever heard this analogy or this phrase, but it's something that I say all the time that the word but in a sentence negates whatever it is that you say in advance, so in advance of it. So let's say, if I were to say I really like doing laundry, but I hate folding it Okay, you don't like doing laundry because the word but negates anything that you said in advance. I love you, but not a good sentence to say to your husband, one of the things that I really realized was I was saying things about my goals in this way. So I would say things like I really want to achieve this in my business, but I can't because of X, y and Z. I really want to lose weight, but I can't because I'm too fucking lazy to go to the gym. Or but I have perimenopause. Oh my God, look at all my excuses. The thing that I really want you to notice here is that when you say, when you say this is my goal, but I can't achieve it for this. That is how you're fucking yourself.
Speaker 1:Over Years ago, when my daughter she was probably five or six and I had gotten out of the habit of going to the gym, like I am a total, I love the gym. I was a total gym rat. After she was born, I really kept saying to myself I really need to get back to the gym, I need to get back to the gym. I need to get back to the gym. And I came up with the most ridiculous excuses, like it's fucking embarrassing to say. One of the things that I said was I'd really like to go back to the gym, but I have to stay here to do my daughter's hair for school. Like are you kidding me? That's the excuse. So how badly did I really want to go to the gym? Like not at all, not at all. I was trying to find an excuse that would be palatable to everyone else, or maybe to myself, did I? Seriously? I wasn't curling her hair when she was six years old. I was brushing it and putting it in a fucking ponytail. I couldn't go to the gym because of that. Are you kidding me? It was complete bullshit. I knew it was bullshit, but I was trying to convince myself that it wasn't.
Speaker 1:If you have any goal, anything that you want to do, and you hear yourself having a but in the sentence, I want you to really step back and think okay, so is it that the goal that I have that comes before the but I really don't fucking want to achieve? Or am I excusing away my behavior with what comes after the but? Because when you explain away your behavior, when you give yourself excuses and you try to call them reasons, they are excuses in a trench coat and that is what is fucking you over. Today's Truth Bomb Tuesday is to really take a look at your excuses and try to see is this just bullshit that's holding me back? Are these bullshit thoughts that I have in my head that are holding me back from achieving the thing that I want, or do I just not want to achieve that thing? When you can figure that out and really listen to yourself, talk, shit starts to shift. See you tomorrow.
