You Are the Magic

Sarah Breshears

Women are trained contortionists from birth. We learn how to hide parts of ourselves to survive. I have spent most of my life being a little too much and a little too deep for the rooms I was in. Sensitive. Intuitive. Intense. The kind of person who felt everything and learned early how to hide it so I could function, belong, and be taken seriously. Like most people, I got really good at wearing the mask. I built the life. I checked the boxes. And still felt like something essential was tucked away. After too mean years of hiding my truth, I realized that I created the magic by being who I am and sharing what I know to be true. I stopped trying to become the right version of myself and started listening to the real one. The woo, honest, "werid" one. The one I spent years managing and masking instead of trusting. You Are the Magic is where we talk about the magic of each human you'll meet, taking off the facade, and remembering the truth most of us were never taught to believe... You are not weird, too much, too little, or any other lie the world has sold you. You are the magic. And you always have been. YouAretheMagicPodcast.com Instagram.com/bcsarahsaidso
