Powerback 191: How to Prioritize Yourself Jan 18, 2024

Show notes

How many times have you been like: THIS is the time this is when I'm going to prioritize myself. I'm going to start this new routine. I'm going to work out more. I'm going to take the class… You think about it and maybe you try it once or twice, but soon it becomes a distant memory.
This a cycle in your life, right? It's something that you experience over and over again. Even so, there's still a part of you that's like, I'm ready to make a shift or a change, I'm ready to do something for myself. So, why the fuck can’t I seem to get around to it?
Well, you don't prioritize yourself, because you're not prioritizing yourself.
That’s why, on today's Powerback® episode, we're going to talk about how to break out of that cycle, so that you can actually begin to prioritize yourself and not feel so shitty about it.
We’ll go through:

Excuses and making the sometimes your all the time
Shifting the narrative and your beliefs around prioritizing yourself
Taking action and leaning into the temporary discomfort
Being realistic and honest with yourself
How I’m prioritizing myself

Noteworthy quotes from this episode
“We don't need to get to a certain point in our “healing process” to have fulfillment, joy, success, all of the things that we desire.”
“Your subconscious mind creates over 95% of your reality. So, we can't even talk about bringing more pleasure and sex and fulfillment into our lives without addressing that first.”
“Women can experience over 15 different forms of orgasm. And what we're normally experiencing is one of those, which is normally a clitoral orgasm, right? It's easier to locate. It's a more surface-level type of orgasmic experience.”
“The G spot stores a lot of trauma. So, for a lot of women, when they start moving into working with this area of their body, they can start to have anger come up… So, it's really fascinating and interesting, the types of memories, emotions, and feelings that arise.”
“You don't need a manifestation tool. When you are touching upon these deeper levels of your being and accepting yourself, magic is going to happen regardless.”

Show notes

Do you always feel like you have to be “on”, to be doing something, or being productive to feel good?
Whereas if you're sitting still, enjoying life, or living at a slower pace, you start to feel guilty and you start to feel shameful. That’s when your to-do list runs through your head like a waterfall. You want to be able to relax, but your brain is telling you that you need to be busy.

We’ll go through:

A story of how this recently showed up for me

188: Have the Audacity to Go For It with Cassie Petrey Dec 05, 2023

Show notes

You’re called for something bigger than where you’re currently standing and you see proof all around you that it’s possible. But the idea of putting yourself out there or having the tiniest possibility to achieve your own greatness can feel out of reach.
Today, we’re talking with Cassie Petrey about having the audacity to go for it – she’s living proof that you can be a boyband fan girl and eventually own an agency that manages social media for The Backstreet Boys – all because she learned valuable skills, believed she could, and asked for it.
In this episode, you’ll learn:

From fan girl to social media manager for music icons
Lessons Cassie learned over her years in business
Reframe how you think about managing social media
The incredible power and benefits of social media
Get more comfortable with showing up on socials
Navigating critics, trolls, assumptions
How Cassie got to work with The Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears
Advice to help gain traction on social media

Cassie Petrey has been the woman behind some of the most iconic artists’ social media marketing including Backstreet Boys, Camila Cabello, and Britney Spears. Cassie is the co-founder of Crowd Surf, a leading marketing and music management firm. She is an original fan girl whose tween admiration for the Backstreet Boys led her at age 12 to create a newsletter that reached fans worldwide — then years later she helped seal the band’s decades-long superstardom by re-introducing them to next-generation fans. Her company Crowd Surf has worked with tech giants Apple and Google, and labels such as Universal, Disney, Sony, Warner, and more. Cassie is a Forbes 30 Under 30 and Billboard 30 Under 30 recipient, and she is a leading social media and artist management Hollywood powerhouse.
