The Soft Life with Saddie Baddies

Between a Rock and a Hard Place: Dealing with Liminal Spaces

This week’s episode is all about existing in a liminal space, aka that (not so) sweet spot between what was and what’s next. Transitions or liminal spaces can do a number on us sometimes, because there’s so much in the unknown that we can’t control. But what if we embraced liminal spaces with curiosity, acceptance and softness? How much easier would it be to just get through it?
Through this juicy convo, in this episode, you’ll learn:
What a liminal space is and how it affects us mentally and emotionally
How to deal with tough transitions and moments of discomfort with softness
What to do if you’re currently in a liminal space and looking to develop an exit strategy

Lucky Girl Syndrome: Manifestation, Affirmations and Rewriting Your Narrative

If you haven’t heard about the current trend of #luckygirlsyndrome, consider this a run down of what everyone and their mom seems to be fascinated by lately (aka repackaged law of assumption). From learning how to write out affirmations in some of my darkest moments and eras to being shocked by the synchrocities and mysteries of the universe, I’ve learned that manifestation is a tool and luck isn’t as far fetched as it seems.
Through this juicy convo, in this episode, you’ll learn:
What lucky girl syndrome is and how you can adapt (the healthy) parts of it into your life
How to unlearn negative self talk and rewrite your own narrative
Positive affirmations I’ve used in my own life and using manifestation as a tool for self actualization

Embracing Your Flop Era (Season Two Finale)

Your girl (Priscilla), is no stranger to a flop era. In fact, I’d like to even think of myself as pro-flop era because as a recovering perfectionist, failure and rejection have transformed me and allowed me to embrace radical acceptance. From being laid off for the first time last year to TRIPLE failing organic chemistry in college, I’ve seen it all. Consider this episode the opposite of an IG 2022 recap reel.
Through this juicy convo, in this episode, you’ll learn:
What a flop era looks and feels like firsthand from a career, education and personal perspective
Why rejection is actually good for you and how it can bring out the best in you
What to do if you’re dealing with a loss, rejection or failure and how to pivot with ease
