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.

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 fuckin' go. Sandra

What If The “Magic” Is Just Alignment

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.

What you need to be successful is not what you think!

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.

Candy-coated dog crap and other people's opinions ;)

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 Mail To work with me: https://www.thefengshuichick.ca/coaching-packages Free stuff: https://www.thefengshuichick.ca/free-stuff Website: www.thefengshuichick.ca FB www.facebook.ca/spriestley IG www.instagram.com/sandrarpriestley Join my email list: www.thefengshuichick.ca/newsletter

The Counterclockwise Effect

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.

What no one tells you about the Lions Gate Portal

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. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs a reset, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

A journal practice that allows you to RELEASE what you can't control

In this episode I share a journaling strategy that turns resistance into one light FUN action that triggers the Universe to fix whatever I'm worried about. It allows me to stop feeding worry and start building momentum. What else do I talk about? • the “the more I do X, the more the universe fixes Y” list • choosing the lightest, funnest action and linking it to trust • letting go of what I cannot control while doing my small part • mental decluttering and the contractor metaphor for worry So go grab a notebook so you can stop worrying and start co-creating with the Universe!

Are you bracing for chaos?

Calm can feel unsafe when we’ve trained our brain to live in chaos, so we stay busy while real progress stalls. We unpack “bracing for impact” and share simple ways to teach your nervous system that peace is safe too. • a client story about leaving chaos and feeling less productive • why familiar crisis mode can feel comfortable and “normal” • how bracing for what might go wrong blocks investing in what could go right • noticing the pattern and naming it out loud • checking whether there is a problem right now and returning to the present moment • separating what we control from what we cannot control, focusing on our thoughts • creating a bedroom “Zen Den” and making the bed as a daily calm cue • stopping scattered cleanup that feels like doom scrolling at home • a coaching mirror moment and the reset phrase “that’s old shit, let’s move” • moving anyway as a way to heal the pattern and model courage for family Send us Fan Mail To work with me: https://www.thefengshuichick.ca/coaching-packages Free stuff: https://www.thefengshuichick.ca/free-stuff Website: www.thefengshuichick.ca FB www.facebook.ca/spriestley IG www.instagram.com/sandrarpriestley Join my email list: www.thefengshuichick.ca/newsletter

Why brilliant women stay stuck

When experiencing a massive amount of resistance lately, I realized WHY brilliant women (like us ... you and me) experience it. In this episode I talk about why we get stuck in procrastination and “wallpaper thoughts,” and how coaching helps you see the pattern you’ve normalized so you can move.
