That's the zone of brilliance we're unwrapping today, with guidance from a remarkable virtual assistant who's standing on the precipice of her own business revolution. We confront the comfort zones and internal barriers head-on and share heartfelt stories that illuminate the p...

Today is a particularly powerful day ... it's a New Moon, a Solar Eclipse, we have a Devils Comet and also some solar storms.  I mean ... it seems to be a pretty exciting day astrologically speaking, wouldn't you say? And yet ... So many people choose to focus on fear and negativity versus positivity and FAITH and creation. In today's episode I talk about an epiphany while journalin...

I once was getting lost in the scroll and found an interview between Tom Bilyeu (Impact Theory) and Trevor Moawad (mental conditional coach to elite performers). I was fascinated by this interview and it (and the concept of neutral thinking) has been something that I've shared continually with my clients and specifically in my 4 week transformation course:  The Power of You. Every team should...

ACTION. I took messy, inspired ACTION. There ... now you don't have to listen to this 20 min podcast.  lol Just kidding ... you still need to. Why?  Because I had heard coaches telling me to take messy (inspired) action since I started in business and I didn't actually GET why.   In this episode I tell you what happened leading up to the launch of my newest membership and how I finally e...

Our space isn't just a container for our shit and it's not meant to be a page out of a magazine either.  It's important that your space is personalized and represents goals that you want to reach.   If we want to live and love our life, we need to live in and love our space. so in this episode I talk about how we can intentionally design our home to: a) manifest what we want in our...

I’m going BACK to New Years Resolutions and I’m choosing one word of the year as a north star … as a vibe that I want to carry through the year. I KNOW that resolutions have had a bad rap for the past decade and that the one-word is kinda sexy ... but ... I’m learning to just do whatever the hell I want NO MATTER what the trend is …. NO MATTER what people around me are doing … NO MATTER what I’ve...

So you know I love the movie Christmas Vacation.  I can almost recite it word by word I've watched it so many times but we don't WANT to have to all "be in misery" like Ellen Griswold suggests! Here I combine mindset, manifestation, feng shui and a releasing technique to help you! 1.  Set your intention for what you WANT it to be like ... and then pay attention to any thoughts,...

Every time you decide to take a risk in some way ... our brain starts to say it ... WHAT IF ... it doesn't work? WHAT IF ... I look stupid? WHAT IF ... I fail? WHAT IF ... I waste money? If we listen to that inner voice of ours, we will play small, stay stuck, never experience what COULD be. But what if there was another way?   What if we could flip the script and focus on the potential posit...

I recently took on a monthly long social media challenge.    My goal was to increase page likes on my page http:www.facebook.com/spriestley   I decided to post 4x a day in hopes that my page would grow so that I could reach more people ... but the lessons I learned were SOOOOOOOOO much more valuable and they are lessons I feel that are consistent to ANY change you wanna make! Remember, when we sho...

More than 10 years ago, I was feeling debilitating (and irrational) worry - it was like a weird addiction to something completely toxic for me.  I recognized it within myself and I knew I needed help.  I started googling "how to stop worrying" and as if I was walking on stepping stones ... it led me on a path of self-discovery. In this episode, you'll hear - a bit about my journey w...

Now ... I am a huge fan of Oprah ... and Gabby Bernstein ... Abraham Hicks ... Eckhart Tolle ... Don Miguel Ruiz ... ... but in this episode I talk about a conversation I had with my husband recently while listening to HIS podcast list (and specifically the "Stay Hard" podcast by David Goggins). The gist is that not EVERYONE is motivated by the same thing.  Some people are motivated by a...

In this episode, I reveal (for the very first time, I might add) my theory on emotional dysregulation and specifically on TRIP SWITCHES. What I know to be true, is that every single one of us has at least one trip switch.  It's the  specific FEAR that most trips us up.  We turn from badass chick to chicken little in a fucking heartbeat when a situation crops up for us that trips our switch. ...

As I was listening back to episode 51 (where I talked about the DISTRACTIONS that pop up that we must navigate on our way to achieve any goal we set for ourselves) I thought … hmmmmmmm I wonder if the way I described that will resonate with everyone? So I decided to record this podcast on some of the OTHER ways in which I have either heard this process described or the way I’ve described it myself...

If you’ve got a goal (no matter WHAT it is) … it’s INEVITABLE that you will come up against situations that can distract us.    One of the biggest problems is that we don't see them as distractions that we can CHOOSE to manage and instead see them as REASONS that we cannot move forward.     Check out the end of this episode for some questions you can ask yourself that might help!  Sandra-ism...

Ok.  We are moving into week 5 of renovations.    This is not the FIRST time my husband and I have undergone this much change.  In fact when our kids were 1 and 3 our basement flooded while we are on holidays and our ENTIRE basement was sitting in our living room pretty much and with insurance, that took longer and was more complex.  That said, this time round I am realizing so much more about mys...

You know, I tried to embrace AI to create these show notes.  (There's so much I WANT to say that I find show notes difficult to write).    What I found out ... is that AI really does suck sometimes and for this episode it totally missed the mark.  Soooooooo back to the drawing board.  ;) In this episode I talk about the emotional rollercoaster that I worked a client through.  She was working...

We are in the midst of a massive home renovation right now and amidst the disorganized chaos (currently two bedrooms and my office are sitting in my dining room) I realize once again, the impact of clutter on our internal state! There is an undeniable connection between our external environment and internal state. The objects you surround yourself with should mirror your higher self and motivate y...

When I made a simple Facebook post on my personal page, I wasn't prepared for the judgment that followed. This sparked a conversation about the troubling trend of mom-shaming on social media and how it can have a negative impact on women everywhere. From a woman receiving criticism for cleaning her daughter's room to the crab mentality evident in both business and mom-shaming, we explore...

Have you ever felt the sting of doubt creep in from an off-hand comment someone made about your passion or business? That's exactly what happened to me, and I'm here to share my journey of overcoming doubt in entrepreneurship.   In this episode, I open up about my experience starting a Feng Shui business and how I've learned to own my decisions, even when others question them. I als...

I’m really passionate about finding our zone of brilliance.  I believe that God puts us on this earth with a unique set of gifts that no one else has … its our gifts, our strengths, our personality, our experiences and yes … even our weaknesses.  What happens though, the more we talk about finding our life’s purpose, the more we get caught up in the PERFECT thing for the rest of our lives. Guess w...

What I’ve noticed is that for most of us, in a sick and twisted way … we like staying stuck in the negative or unwanted emotion.  It’s a weird form of punishment that we do to ourselves isn’t it?  Something happens and we spend SO MUCH TIME thinking about what happened, worrying about what might happen and telling ourselves stories in our mind.  I was an expert in making myself feel like shit ......

In this episode I talk about my beliefs on business … and how to create a life (and a business) that feels like your favourite shoes, your skates and your favourite pair of flip flops.  It should FEEL LIKE YOU!!! I talk about the four questions to ask yourself: 1.  what am I good at? 2.  what do I LOVE to do ? 3.  what do people need? 4.  what works in my life right now? I talk about the lesson th...

It seems like we are inundated with ways to categorize ourselves.  Whether it’s a personality type test like the Enneagram, a wholistic self-knowledge system like Human Design, learning strategies/difficulties like dyslexia or WHATEVER it happens to be … we like to place ourselves into a category. In this episode I talk about how we can use these labels as excuses and reasons for holding ourselves...

In this episode I talk about my long term obsession with personal development starting with Oprah (then got distracted by a side note story about my new kindle app and how that helps me read as a person with dyselxia. haha)   Anyway … I get distracted a LOT you’ll notice ….  but today I spoke about a psychological study on self-talk in reference to resisting temptation and motivating goal-directed...

… is to consider who you AREN’T.  In this episode I share with you the realizations that I came to and the clarity I had, when working through the process of figuring out who I am NOT.
