You Are the Magic

  • Self-Improvement

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

    ADHD, Private Practice, and a Little Magic

    Jena Castro-Casbon built her career helping speech-language pathologists and occupational therapists start private practices, and she's done it as an introvert with a late-recognized ADHD diagnosis who would rather batch-record video than go to a party. In this episode we get into how she went from wanting to be an FBI agent to becoming the go-to resource for an entire profession, what changed when she stopped seeing her ADHD as a set of flaws, and why building a business is really about building a life that fits. KEY TOPICS How Jena started her private practice on the side at 26, back when nobody was telling clinicians that was even an optionThe "F words" behind why people start private practices: freedom, flexibility, fulfillment, and financesReframing a late ADHD diagnosis, and the visionary-and-integrator concept that helped Jena understand how her brain actually worksPractical tools that make a difference for ADHD business owners: object permanence workarounds, body doubling, batch recording, and time-boxingBeing an introvert who built a public-facing business, and letting other people work in their zone of geniusComing out as gay and being openly neurodivergent in a field that hasn't always made room for eitherHow showing up as your full self gives other people permission to do the same TIMESTAMPS 00:08 Welcome and introducing Jena, the queen of private practice 01:33 From clinical fellow in Boston to starting a practice on the side 04:17 The FBI-agent dream and how Jena found speech pathology 07:04 What Jena is most proud of: impact across a whole profession 10:01 The flexibility to be present for her kids 11:00 The four F words behind why clinicians start private practices 17:35 "Look, I made a hat where there never was a hat" 22:19 A late ADHD reframe and the careless-errors years 24:57 The visionary and the integrator, and the flight that changed everything 29:36 Why so many entrepreneurs are neurodivergent 34:16 Object permanence, body doubling, and building systems for your brain 39:43 Being an introvert in a public-facing business 43:40 Coming out, being openly gay, and speaking openly about ADHD 50:24 Why being out about who you are normalizes it for everyone 55:13 Advice for anyone dipping a toe into showing up more authentically RESOURCES AND LINKS Find Jena: Instagram.com/independentclinicianJena's free courses, resources, and paid programs: independentclinician.comJena's book: The Path to Private Practice https://amzn.to/4tUY6ByRocket Fuel by Gino Wickman https://amzn.to/42SDVcGFind Sarah: instagram.com/bcsarahsaidso You're invited to the You Are the Magic Retreat this October in Florida! social-moguls.com/retreat If this conversation resonated, share it with someone who needs to hear that their brain isn't broken.

    Surviving the Seasons Meant to Break You Without Losing Your Magic Theresa Richard has spent the last five years surviving things most people couldn't and building a career anyway. In this conversation we talk about why she refuses to play victim no matter what life hands her, how she keeps backing herself when the people around her don't, what cancel culture actually does to a person and how she came out the other side, the bigger conversation about pricing and scarcity in the SLP field, why knowing how you're wired changes everything about how you build a business and a life, and what it really takes to choose your hard.

    The Magic of Ditching the Good Girl Act

    The Magic of Ditching the Good Girl Act Emilie Karun did everything right. She married her high school sweetheart, had four beautiful babies, built the white picket fence life she'd always dreamed of. And then she woke up at 30 and realized something she hadn't been allowed to even wonder: was this all she actually wanted? That question kicked off an existential crisis. Am I a terrible woman if I want more? Am I a terrible mother? Years later, that question became the foundation of her brand, The Good Girl Revolution, where she helps women abandon everything they were taught in order to find what was actually theirs all along. This conversation is for any woman who has felt that quiet pull toward something bigger and immediately apologized for it. We get into feminine vs. masculine energy, why burnout is often the doorway, the question every woman should ask herself, and the kind of woman who becomes truly unstoppable (and exactly why the world doesn't want you to know how good she feels). KEY TOPICSWaking up to the realization that the life you built isn't the one you actually wantThe Good Girl Revolution and why being "good" was costing you yourselfFeminine vs. masculine energy in business and life (and what feminine energy actually is, beyond the woo)The descent: why we meet our real selves in the collapse, not on the mountaintopHow to start listening to your own desires after a lifetime of dismissing themThe one question Emilie used to ask every potential client (and why 99.9% of women couldn't answer it)Building from wholeness vs. building from lackWhy a woman who doesn't need permission is the most powerful thing in the roomBecoming the F**k Yes Woman and what it actually takes to own your desiresTIMESTAMPS00:00 – Welcome and introducing Emilie Karun02:20 – From white picket fence dreams to waking up at 3005:42 – Starting the coaching business and the birth of the Good Girl Revolution09:13 – You are the magic: accessing your feminine superpowers11:05 – A generation of women rising into a new way12:02 – Breaking down feminine vs. masculine energy (without the b******t)15:26 – The burnout that changed everything17:35 – The feminine meets herself in the descent25:00 – The divine breadcrumb and how the path actually reveals itself27:30 – Creating from wholeness vs. lack: the question every woman should ask31:00 – Sarah's 30-second sunshine ritual and pressing pause on growth46:35 – Small unsexy steps and the truth about transformation50:45 – Recognizing you are already herRESOURCES AND LINKSEmilie's website: EmilieKarun.comFollow Emilie on IG: instagram.com/the.good.girl.revolution/Pod Website: YouAretheMagicPodcast.comFollow Sarah on IG: instagram.com/bcsarahsaidso You Are the Magic Retreat: You're invited!

    Renaissance, Reverence, and Refusing to Conform: The Magic of Being *That B!tch*

    Renaissance, Reverence, and Refusing to Conform: The Magic of Being That B!tch Kim has built a $500,000 cash year empire with a little over a thousand followers, and she will be the first one to tell you that none of it would have been possible if she hadn't done the work first. She survived a childhood that, statistically, should have sent her in a completely different direction. She spent four years doing trauma and energy work from 5am to 10am every single day to put herself back together. And she came out the other side with this knowing that she will scream from the rooftops to anyone who will listen, which is that your magic is the moneymaking machine. We get into so much in this one. We talk about why surviving your story is the accomplishment. We talk about that ceramic ball metaphor that I think about constantly now. We talk about the conditioning women carry around being too much, too loud, too emotional, too feminine, too anything. We talk about why corporate is not actually the safe bet you've been told it is. And we talk about how deciding to be that bitch is exactly as available to you as deciding to be anything else, because it's a decision either way. Kim is so much fun and so real and I genuinely could have kept her on for another three hours. KEY TOPICSWhy Kim's biggest accomplishment is not the money, it is surviving the trajectory she was handedThe Akashic records reading that explained why Kim has been a coach in every single lifetimeMy first $50K month, the guilt that came with it, and how two truths can live in your body at the same timeKim's token phrase that her clients hear all the time, which is that you do not have business problems, you have personal problemsThe ceramic ball metaphor and what four years of daily 5am healing work actually looked likeManifestation, the T-rex in the snow, and the playground theory of lifeWhy your magic is your moneymaker and what it actually means to come fully online in your body and your brandReinvention as a spiritual practice, being a Renaissance woman, and why the shame around pivoting is keeping so many women stuckWhy corporate is not safe and betting on yourself is the only sure thing you have for lifeThe biggest win of entrepreneurship, which is not the money, it is trusting yourself to figure it outKim's advice for the woman ready to bet on herself and where to startRESOURCES AND LINKSFollow Kim on Instagram at @iamkimarnesonJoin Kim's free Money Making Queens communitySarah's IG @bcsarahsaidso STAY IN THE MAGICIf something in this episode lit you up, the next step is being in a room with women who are doing the work too.
