What would you say to the idea that building a business isn’t actually “hard”? A lot of work? Yes! But you can figure ALL of it out! In this episode, Sandy talks about the essential things you need, across the board, when starting a business. Whether you already have a business, are just beginning, or haven’t quite started yet, you’ll want to listen in and take note of these things that will make your life and business a lot easier. 

KEY POINTS

• If you're thinking about starting a business or if you've already started a business, these three things are going to be essential. You pretty much can't do it without these three things.

• Your mindset is the number one thing that will make or break you in your business. It will determine your success. And when I say success, I mean your ability to continue moving forward, even when things get hard.

• There is something to be said about putting yourself in a room of people who are going through the same thing or who have already been through it, who you can borrow beliefs from, and who will encourage you, guide you, and cheer you on. 

QUOTEABLES 

“She’s done it, I’m going to do it too. She’s done it, I’m going to ask for some support. There’s something to be said about surrounding yourself with women who will mention your name in a room full of opportunities. For me, that is the definition of support.”

In this episode Sandy has a candid and open conversation with former teacher turned life coach, Liv Fox about recreating yourself and your future, stepping into the unfamiliar, and living your true purpose. Liv has made some incredibly scary leaps in her life (leaving an abusive relationship, leaving her teaching career, and so much more) and knows all about trusting yourself completely, even when things are scary or uncertain. If you’re a current teacher, former teacher, transitioning teacher, or business owner, you’ll gain so many gems from Liv and this candid conversation. 

KEY POINTS

• Rewriting the story that it’s selfish to take care of yourself and put your needs first.

• What it’s like to put your foot down and take back control of your circumstances. 

• Is it just scary, or is it purposefully scary?  

• You can be confident in yourself, even when your future is unclear. 

• A year from now, what are you going to look back on and say, “I wish I had have started a year ago”? 

QUOTEABLES 

“How selfish is it of us to give ourselves credit? But by doing so, I can go to my friends and my family and when they’re down in the dumps, I have them tell me two things that went right today. I am so damn selfish, and so self centered and I give myself credit that I deserve, that now I’ve learned how to pull it out of other people. So they can focus on that, and then they can go to their friends to create a ripple effect of being more selfish, and giving yourself the damn credit.”

Halloween is right around the corner. And in the Halloween spirit, Sandy talks about things she used to be terrified of in her business. And the most important part- how facing these fears head on has catapulted her business forward, and how you can do the same! 

KEY POINTS

• Being scared is a sign you’re growing and evolving. 

• We always have a choice; to do the scary thing or even scarier, stay in the same spot you’re in.

• Scary things in business include stepping outside of your comfort zone, selling (lol), and being scared of what other people will think.  

QUOTEABLES 

“Is this still scary? Yeah! Because it’s my ass on the line. But it’s SO incredibly worth it. And I would not change one thing right now. I am literally living my dream life.”

Ever wish you could just get out of your head? And stop thinking so much!? In this episode, Sandy talks about why we constantly overthink and question ourselves, and how to start to shift your energy to get out of your head and essentially get out of your own way. When we’re in this flow state (vs. an overthinking state), we’re more productive, more creative, and we’re more OURSELVES. Listen to this episode to learn how to trust your intuition more and stop thinking so much.

KEY POINTS

✨ Societal conditioning that has women constantly overthinking and questioning ourselves.

✨ We are constantly overthinking, and this causes self doubt, imposter syndrome, and the belief that boundaries are selfish. 

✨ Being in your intuition is quite literally the opposite of overthinking. It’s that state of being truly in yourself, and trusting in yourself, trusting that whatever comes out or comes in or comes out is exactly what’s supposed to be. 

✨ Step by step on how to catch yourself in this overthinking state, and get back into the flow with your intuition.

QUOTEABLES 

“Is there an opposite of overthinking? Is it possible to over be? There is no possible way to over be. You cannot BE too much yourself. And when we get so fully into that state, where we are so fully in connection with ourselves and in that flow phase, it’s a beautiful place to be.”

Ever feel like you’re in your own way and you’re not sure how to get out of your own way? In this episode, Sandy talks about three things you can do to get out of your own head, get out of your own way, and cut the BS. These are three things she wishes she had done a long time ago. Take her advice, don’t make the same mistakes, and You can borrow these strategies and beliefs TODAY to get moving. 

KEY POINTS

✨ What does it mean to be in your head and be in your way? It means you could move a lot faster, a lot smoother, and a lot more in alignment if you just got out of your own way. This is ALL mindset. 

✨ When we confidently make decisions without question and know that no matter what everything is going to be okay and that we have our own back, we move a lot quicker and a lot smoother.

✨ Three strategies to help you increase your confidence and cut through the BS that your brain gives you.  

QUOTEABLES 

“You need to start believing that your success is inevitable. My own coach asked me this question one day, and I was mind blown. What would happen if you started asking yourself how you would show up everyday if you knew 110% that you were going to succeed? How would that be different from how you’re currently showing up?”

In this episode, Sandy discusses something that’s been continuously coming up; and the question, “Is It Just Me??” In this Is It Just Me episode, we talk about the self imposed timelines we place on ourselves, in both life and business. And most importantly, what happens when we don’t meet those timelines. Don’t worry; it’s not just you that feels frustrated that things aren’t “working” and that things are supposed to be happening faster. Listen in for some inspiration and how to move through this and keep going. 

KEY POINTS

✨ In your business, and in your life,  no one is telling us what we should do, how, and when.

✨We place timelines on ourselves with a false idea of what’s acceptable or what’s impressive or defines success for us. 

✨You’re not alone in feeling frustrated that things don’t seem to be “working.”

✨Building a business is like planting a garden.

QUOTEABLES 

“It is not just you. This is many, many people. But I understand and I know how this can feel very isolating when you’re in it. Like things are only hard for me, and I’m the only one not seeing progress. But actually, you’re not special. You’re not a unicorn. This is not just you.”

In this episode, Sandy chats about the things that are in our control, and the things that aren’t. We waste so much time worrying about things we can’t control. If we weren’t thinking about the things we can’t control, what could we be thinking about and allocating our energy towards? 

KEY POINTS

✨ Sometimes it feels like so many things are out of our control. 

✨While this may be true, there are certain things that are always in our control. 

✨When we shift our focus to things that are in our control, it takes a weight off and makes things a little more manageable. 

QUOTEABLES 

“There are so many things in life that we have no control over. As much as we would love (especially as teachers, and as moms, as women) to control everything and know how things are going to turn out, and as much as we would love to control other people and their perceptions and what they think about us, that is just not possible.”

In this episode, Sandy discusses something that so many of us waste our precious time and energy on. We’ve all done this or are doing it now, and it’s time to put a stop to it. The thing…. comparing ourselves to others, second guessing ourselves, questioning our decisions, and worrying about what other people think. You might be surprised as you begin to notice just how much time is wasted on these unproductive thoughts. You’ll walk away from this episode with permission to show up, just as you are, and take up space without fear or worry.  

KEY POINTS

• What does “playing small” actually mean? 

• We spend A LOT of time second guessing ourselves, questioning ourselves, and worrying what others might think.

• Paying attention to these thoughts is the first step to changing them and being free of them.

• If we weren’t spending time and energy on these thoughts, what COULD we be thinking about and doing? 

• It’s time to stop messing around and “play big.” You’ll learn how in this episode!  

QUOTEABLES 

“It literally does not matter what other people think, if I wholeheartedly have my own back, and if I know that what I’m doing is fully out of integrity and love.”

In this episode, Sandy discusses something that’s been continuously coming up; and the question, “Is It Just Me??” In this Is It Just Me episode, we talk about the desire to do more, learn more, and be more. It’s all about that continuous desire to accomplish something, and NOT being willing to sit stagnant and stay in the same place you’re in. In this episode, you’ll learn how to harness this drive, how to celebrate your accomplishments, and how to manage all of the creative ideas and things you want to do without burning yourself out! 

KEY POINTS

• Some people just don’t want to settle, and are always asking, “What’s next?”

• How this drive and desire to learn and do more can be a good thing in propelling you forward. 

• The importance of celebrating accomplishments and wins before moving on to the next thing. 

• How you can do it all; just not all at the same time. 

QUOTEABLES 

“I’ve come to realize that just because you want more, and you are continuously growing, that does not make you selfish or unappreciative at all. And that’s the misconception; when clients ask, what’s wrong with me? Nothing is wrong with you! It’s just a part of who you are. That drive and that desire to want to constantly learn more and and do more and be better than you were yesterday

In this episode, Sandy shares a story about her six year old that has shifted her thoughts and beliefs about money. You’ll hear all about Cash’s entrepreneurial journey, and how he tackles big ideas like rejection, abundance, and making money. We can all learn a serious lesson here, especially if you’re a new business owner. After listening, you'll start to question your own beliefs about money and how you value your services.  

KEY POINTS

• We all need to come at our relationships with money like a six year old and stop overthinking and stop being so scared.

• There’s so much money out there, and it’s just an energy; not something to be scared of nervous about. 

• There’s no way around it; you’ve just gotta dive in and do the inner work around your relationships with money. 

QUOTEABLES 

“For teachers, this comes in the form of: I don’t do this for the paycheck, I do this for the kids. And this is just SO, so wrong.”
