Listen "No Clue, Figuring Things Out: Priya Patel on Redefining Success & Taking Tiny Baby Steps"
Episode Synopsis
In this honest and refreshing conversation, Juliette sits down with coach-in-the-making and podcast host Priya Patel to talk about what it really feels like to start something new. From letting go of fixed five-year plans to figuring out whether your body needs movement or rest, Priya shares her journey of redefining success, navigating self-doubt, and taking tiny baby steps through the unknown. This episode feels like two calm, grounded girlfriends swapping stories — and reminders that you don’t need all the answers to keep moving forward.“And I'm still in it, I'm still navigating stuff, like I still need to cry and just sit in my pity party before I can do anything.” — Priya PatelTakeaways:You don’t need to have a five-year plan to make progress — tiny baby steps are enough.Losing a job can be a powerful catalyst for inner work and reevaluating what success means.Nervous system regulation and somatic practices (like breathwork) help clear mental “dust” and deepen clarity.Redefining success starts with tuning in: “Does this feel joyful and authentic?”Walking — even at a normal pace — can increase stamina and improve mental clarity.We all negotiate with ourselves about rest vs. movement — and that’s part of the process.A “balanced life” might not be a destination, but a feeling of flow you learn to recognize.Meet Priya PatelPriya Patel is based in London and currently working on building her coaching practice after completing a coaching certification. She’s the host of the podcast I Wish I Knew That Earlier, where she interviews guests about the life lessons they’ve learned along the way. Calm, grounded, and curious, Priya is deeply committed to personal growth, nervous system work, and having honest conversations about what it means to start over.ResourcesPriya’s Podcast — I Wish I Knew That EarlierPriya’s Personal InstagramPriya’s Podcast InstagramPriya’s Free Guide “YOU ARE YOUR SECRET SAUCE”
