Pick the Goal First: The Decision Gets Easier From ThereHave you ever had so many options that instead of feeling excited, you just feel stuck?  In this episode, I'm talking about an idea inspired by Chalene Johnson's Push Goal theory: decide what you actually want FIRST.  Once you know the goal, you have something to measure your choices against.  Instead of asking, “Which option is best?” you can ask, “Which option takes me closer to where I actually want to go?”The best opportunity on paper isn't necessarily the best opportunity for YOU. More money might not be better if your goal requires more time.  More exposure might not be better if it drains the energy you need for the thing you're really trying to build.  Sometimes the choice that looks smaller from the outside is the one that will end up creating the most joy.So if you've been stuck trying to figure out what you should do next,  stop staring at the options for a minute.  Determine what your ultimate goal is and then ask yourself:Which option gets me closer to that goal?If you're interested in having a quick chat about YOUR goals and where you're stuck ... my coffee chat calendar is below under "Free stuff".  I'm excited to chat with you!!Send us Fan MailTo work with me:  https://www.thefengshuichick.ca/coaching-packagesFree stuff:  https://www.thefengshuichick.ca/free-stuffWebsite:  www.thefengshuichick.caFB  www.facebook.ca/spriestley  IG  www.instagram.com/sandrarpriestley Join my email list:  www.thefengshuichick.ca/newsletter

I share five quick hacks to interrupt spirals, calm the nervous system, and get back into action instead of analysis. • why the subconscious drives most actions and why negative thoughts repeat • the cost of treating every unwanted belief like a deep-rooted crisis • “sometimes a cigar is just a cigar” as a reality check for overthinking • the dog poop test for deciding what not to inspect • five fast spiral-stoppers: delete, e-brake “stop”, “not today, motherfucker”, “guards”, and “give it to God and go to sleep” • how to use these tools before bed and in the middle of the day Send us Fan MailTo work with me:  https://www.thefengshuichick.ca/coaching-packagesFree stuff:  https://www.thefengshuichick.ca/free-stuffWebsite:  www.thefengshuichick.caFB  www.facebook.ca/spriestley  IG  www.instagram.com/sandrarpriestley Join my email list:  www.thefengshuichick.ca/newsletter

A kid who loves sushi shouldn't be a business lesson, but here we are and it's a good one.  I'm talking about the viral rise of Rachel Fordham and her son Hudson, how their TikTok account jumps from tens of thousands of followers to hundreds of thousands in weeks, and why that kind of growth makes the rest of us want to grab their “posting strategy” and run.  The problem is that copying what worked for someone else can actually push you further away from your own results, because it pulls you out of your natural voice and into performance. We get into the myth that success is a set of instructions you can follow step by step.  Strategy matters, but it's not Lego instructions.  What works for one creator works because it's an amplification of who they already are: their personality, their connection, their specific story.  Right now, audiences are quick to sniff out anything that feels forced, and the more you try to recreate someone else's vibe, the more you dilute what makes you memorable.  If you want real social media growth, stronger personal branding, and a business that feels like it fits, the goal isn't to become a better version of somebody else. It's to become a more concentrated version of you. I lay out the framework I come back to over and over:  mindset, energy, and action.  We need mindset to see differently, energy so people can feel us, and action because nothing moves if we don't.  Then comes the part that feels like “magic” but is actually alignment plus momentum:  ideas dropping in, the right people appearing, conversations opening at perfect timing.  If you're ready to stop strangling your strategy and start building with authenticity, hit play, share this with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find it.Send us Fan MailTo work with me:  https://www.thefengshuichick.ca/coaching-packagesFree stuff:  https://www.thefengshuichick.ca/free-stuffWebsite:  www.thefengshuichick.caFB  www.facebook.ca/spriestley  IG  www.instagram.com/sandrarpriestley Join my email list:  www.thefengshuichick.ca/newsletter

Remember when I said that I hated journaling and meditating only to eat my words later?I really DID believe it ... because I had learned the hard way that FORCING yourself to do something you aren't good at, following someone else's template, isn't the best way to success.In this episode I'm sharing ALL of it ... the behind the scenes on my lessons learned.  I talk about hiring my first coach because she had the technical skills I thought I needed, and how that investment taught me a lesson I now use in my own coaching:  when you try to master what drains you, you'll feel frustrated and behind, even if you're smart enough to learn it.  The win isn't becoming good at everything.  The win is leaning into your gifts, removing resistance, and choosing strategies that actually work for you.  Then we re-frame meditation for busy minds. Instead of trying to shut down your thoughts, I explain how a specific style of guided meditation can help you listen to inner guidance and capture “divine downloads” in a journal. That's where confidence grows, decisions get easier, and business ideas get sharper. I also share what I've built behind the scenes to support this work: sourcing meditations and a self-led library of courses designed to help you step into that next level version of you, with mindset, manifestation, boundaries, leadership, and more.  If this lit something up in you, subscribe so you don't miss what's next, share the episode with a friend who needs a push, and leave a review so more women can find it.

I talk about the journaling prompt that finally helped me stop fighting my own brain and start releasing the thoughts that keep me stuck. I also unpack how someone else's judgment quietly changed my behaviour, and how I took my power back by remembering that judgment is not truth. • why traditional journal prompts can feel like a box, especially with a neurodivergent brain • the “Dear Universe, this is how I'm feeling now” prompt and how to use it • treating intrusive and fear-based thoughts as data, not truth • why gratitude without honesty can become spiritual bypassing • “dump it, release it, then choose again” as a practical emotional regulation practise • how external opinions can override your own testimony and create resistance • checking in with your body as a guide for self-trust • choosing your beliefs consciously, inspired by Don Miguel Ruiz's Four Agreements Send us Fan MailTo work with me:  https://www.thefengshuichick.ca/coaching-packagesFree stuff:  https://www.thefengshuichick.ca/free-stuffWebsite:  www.thefengshuichick.caFB  www.facebook.ca/spriestley  IG  www.instagram.com/sandrarpriestley Join my email list:  www.thefengshuichick.ca/newsletter

In 1979, eight men (in their 70s and 80s at that time) walked into a retreat that looked like 1959.  It was a research study done by Psychologist Ellen Langer called The Counterclockwise Study and it sent me straight down the rabbit hole after hearing about it this weekend. If you've ever wondered how much of ageing, confidence, and performance is biology versus belief, this story will mess with your assumptions in the best way. I unpack how the retreat was staged like a full time capsule, why the men were told to speak in present tense, and what changed when they fully “lived” as if it were decades earlier. Then I get real about the critiques: the sample size was small, reliability has been questioned, and it's not a neat, perfect research package. Even with those limits, the idea lands hard because it matches what I've seen in my own life and with clients: your environment is always talking to you, and your self-talk and identity decide whether you move or stay stuck. From there, we turn the study into practical mindset coaching. We talk “be do have” and act-as-if without the fluff, why your pantry, media, and daily cues either reinforce your goal or sabotage it, and how aligning thoughts, actions, beliefs, and surroundings creates fast momentum. I also share a direct challenge: pick one daring, bold step and move now, today. If this sparked something in you, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review so more people find the show.

Your feed is probably packed with Lions gate Portal checklists, but the part that actually makes it useful is the why and the how. I talk about the Lionsgate Portal as being a reset point:  a manifestation window with peak energy on August 8 (8/8).  I'll walk you through the roots of the tradition, including the ancient Egyptian connection to the Nile flooding and the idea of a fresh cycle, then translate it into a modern, practical approach you can actually follow.I talk about the symbolism that makes this season hit different:  Leo season confidence and courage, paired with the number eight's association with abundance, achievement, and material success.  I mean ... what a powerful combo, hey? I share a menu of Lions gate rituals and intention-setting tools you can choose from without spiraling into overwhelm: meditation, visualization, affirmations, gratitude, breathwork, oracle cards, crystal charging, and journaling prompts like “Who am I becoming?” and “What am I ready to release?” I also share how I use 888 Hz frequency music to lock in the “dream big” energy.Then we go where most people forget to look:  your home.  If your space is full of clutter, broken items, and unfinished tasks, it can keep your subconscious anchored to who you used to be.  I'll give you feng shui-inspired steps to shift the energy fast, starting with your front door (where opportunities enter), opening windows for fresh air, decluttering one complete area, fixing energy leaks like burnt-out bulbs, adding something alive, refreshing your bedroom, and checking your wealth corner (back left when you stand at the front door facing in).If you want a deeper dive, I also share what we're doing inside the Powerhouse.

If you keep repeating “I can't,” “it's not for me,” or “I'm not ready,” congratulations, you're human.Unfortunately, those thoughts are the sneaky bitches that keep us from achieving everything we've ever wanted.And we didn't come to earth to play safe, small and then die.  We were given GIFTS and we are MEANT for abundance ... we just need to stop cock-blocking ourselves from achieving it.In this episode I talk about the thought I have that keeps me from holding myself back and then I give you one of my favourite reprogramming strategies!!! Whether your goal is a new business, leaving a job, losing weight, or hitting consistent $10,000 months, the pattern is the same:  big dreams trigger limiting beliefs because your brain thinks safety equals staying the same.You write your goal, dump every default negative thought it brings up, release it, and rewrite what you choose to believe instead. We also add the missing ingredient that turns mindset work into results: inspired action right away, even if it's small. This is daily subconscious mind work, not a one-and-done, and it gets easier every time you prove the old story wrong.Subscribe so you don't miss what's next, share this with a friend who needs a push, and leave a review to help more people find the show.  If you'd like my journaling strategies email series, you can access it below under "Free Stuff"Send us Fan MailTo work with me:  https://www.thefengshuichick.ca/coaching-packagesFree stuff:  https://www.thefengshuichick.ca/free-stuffWebsite:  www.thefengshuichick.caFB  www.facebook.ca/spriestley  IG  www.instagram.com/sandrarpriestley Join my email list:  www.thefengshuichick.ca/newsletter

Have you ever had someone you respect say something … and suddenly you start questioning yourself?Yup ... me too.I had a moment like that a few months ago. I asked someone I really respect if she follows Mel Robbins and she immediately said, “I hate her.”And just like that, my brain went into overdrive …Wait ... should I not like her?Did I miss something?Am I wrong for liking her?That right there? That's what we're talking about today.How fast we take someone else's opinion—and quietly turn it into our own.In this episode, we're getting into:Why your brain is wired to “borrow” opinions from people you respectHow beliefs get formed without you even realizing itThe concept of “agreements” (inspired by Don Miguel Ruiz) and how you've probably signed a few you didn't mean toWhy not everything that sounds smart is actually true for youA simple 3-second pause that can shift everythingHere's the truth most people don't realize:If you don't question what you're agreeing to … you end up building your life based on other people's fears, preferences, and bad moods.And that's not the game you're here to play.This episode is your reminder that you don't need to argue with people or prove anything.  You just need to stop letting their opinions quietly rewrite yours.Take what feels true.Leave the rest.Your takeaway:Next time someone says something that hits you sideways, pause for a second and ask yourself:Do I want to carry this… or leave it with them?That question alone will change how you move.If this episode hit for you, share it with someone who needs to hear it—and come tell me what you're choosing not to carry anymore.p.s.

I caught myself saying “y'all” the other day ... something I've never said ONCE in my life and as a Canadian, I don't think I've heard any other Canadians saying it either.Which got me thinking:  if we can pick up something that small without even trying … what else are we absorbing from the people around us?In this episode, we're talking about:Why you naturally start thinking, acting, and showing up like the people closest to youHow your circle impacts your confidence, standards, and decisions (way more than you think)The truth about outgrowing relationships—and why it's not as bad as people make itA powerful perspective on choosing partners and friendships that actually move you forwardThis one's a gentle but honest look at your choices and whether they are helping you grow or quietly keeping you where you are.

In the last episode I mentioned that I hadTWO quotes hung in my kitchen.  Today I talk about the second one ... a quote from my grandma.The way you present your daily life changes how it feels to live it. Feng Shui becomes less about objects and more about intention, standards, and small choices that remind our subconscious we are worth care. • my grandmother's gold-rimmed china story and why it sticks • “the food tastes better in a fancy dish” as a lesson in intention • stopping the habit of saving special things for holidays • treating home and car like spaces that support the up-levelled self • tiny daily shifts that influence confidence, self-worth, relationships, and abundance p.s.

You're avoiding everything, overthinking, and wondering how you fell off so fast.And if you're like most women I work with … you make it mean something about you.That you're inconsistent.That you lack discipline.That you just can't seem to follow through.(That's bullshit of course ... and we're going to change it up starting NOW)In this episode, I break down something so simple but it WORKS.  It's called the “toothbrush rule" and once you hear it, you'll see exactly where you've been making things way harder than they need to be.Because here's the truth:You don't brush your teeth because you're motivated… you do it because it's who you are.So what if your goals worked the same way?We get into why motivation is actually a terrible strategy and how shifting your identity changes everything, from how you show up to how much mental energy you waste debating yourself all day.This is the kind of episode that will have you looking at your habits and going… “ohhh, I've been negotiating way too much.”Inside, we talk about:why that “on/off” pattern keeps happening (and what's actually causing it)the toothbrush rule and how it flips the way you think about disciplinehow to stop relying on motivation and start building something that actually sticksthe identity shift that makes follow-through feel way less exhaustingwhy your brain is burning energy on decisions you shouldn't even be making anymorehow to start showing up as the woman you say you want to be, before you feel like herIf you've been stuck in that all-or-nothing loop… this one's for you.And if you love it, send it to your friend who's also tired of starting over every Monday.And if you feel like it (see what I did there
