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

    Messy is Where the Magic Lives

    This week's guest has opened yoga studios across three states, survived a full ego death when she sold everything and started over, and taught herself macrame and acrobatics just to remember what it feels like to be bad at something new. Claire Villalobos' whole story is proof that you do not have to have it all figured out to build a life you actually love. We talk about letting things fall apart so they can come back together, the audacity it takes to chase a dream, and why messy is where the magic happens.

    Owning the Good, the Bad, and Your FULL Magic

    Owning the Good, the Bad, and Your FULL Magic My first ever in-studio guest, Dr. Andrea Gleim, stole Betty's spot on the couch, sat down, and we went straight into the deep end. We got into what it actually takes to own your whole story, the good, the bad, and the ugly, so no one can ever weaponize it against you. From money wounds to mom guilt to the identity reckoning that hits every business owner eventually, this one is a reminder that you are already enough, exactly as you are. KEY TOPICS What "owning your story" really means, and why the parts you're not proud of lose their power the moment you claim themThe lotus flower framing: growing something beautiful out of the muddy waterBreaking the "don't air your dirty laundry" conditioning many of us were raised withThe identity reckoning, or "dark night of the soul," that hits when your business no longer feels like yoursHow our insecurities show up as triggers (the "cringe" selfie story) and what changes when you own themFacing more scrutiny as your visibility grows, and how owning your story shortens the recovery timeThe worthiness wound, the psychology of money, and how your earliest money memories shape your businessMom guilt, showing up for yourself first, and the self-care bank accountResilience through pregnancy, a partner's layoff, and a two-week maternity leaveThe pressure on new moms, the stress response, and remembering you are already enough TIMESTAMPS 00:01 Welcome and meet my first in-studio guest02:06 The meaning behind Mindfully Mine and owning your story03:18 The lotus flower: beauty grown from the muddy water04:16 Breaking the "keep it in the family" conditioning09:58 When your business no longer feels like yours36:43 The "cringe" selfie and insecurities as triggers38:42 Growing visibility, scrutiny, and faster recovery43:09 The worthiness wound and the psychology of money45:11 Earliest money memories and inherited scarcity14:20 Mom guilt and showing up for yourself first21:12 The self-care bank account48:12 Resilience through pregnancy and a layoff54:44 The breastfeeding stress response and pressure on new moms59:30 You are enough, perfectly imperfect RESOURCES & LINKS youarethemagicpodcast.comSarah: instagram.com/bcsarahsaidsoAndrea: instagram.com/dr.andreagleimTheraBoss: instagram.com/_theraboss Come find your magic in real life.

    Tough T*****s: The Magic of Being Too Much

    Back in January of 2024, I was walking home from my office during one of the roughest months of my life, listening to Demi talk about hitting her first $200,000 month, and something cracked open in me. "If she can do this, I can do this." That one thought was the door to $50,000+ months and everything after it, and today the woman who coached me through it is here to talk about the exact thing most of us get talked out of: being too much. KEY TOPICS Why the thing she is most proud of has nothing to do with the money she has madeHow being called "too much," too fast, too loud, too direct, too pink, became the source of her magnetismThe quick-start way she built her business by getting ideas out before she overthought themWhy she fell in love with failing and treats every flop as data and a winWhat actually happens before a high-ticket buyer pays you, and why the years-long binge is the real workHow she handles the triggers, hate comments, and unfollows that come with being visibleGiving yourself permission to evolve and even contradict your old beliefsHer advice for anyone who knows exactly who they are but is scared to let the world see itWhat is changing about the way she shows up now that she is about to raise a daughter TIMESTAMPS 1:42 The January 2024 turning point and the "if she can, I can" moment 7:03 The thing she is most proud of, and why it is not the money 9:50 How the people who know her best would introduce her 17:37 The "too much" list: too fast, too direct, too many offers 25:47 Visionary versus integrator, and the Rocket Fuel framework 31:11 Falling in love with failure and reframing every launch as a win 34:00 Why buyers binge your content for years before they ever pay you 44:01 Swearing, tutus, and pink branding as a filter for the right people 47:06 "Who the f*ck do you think you are," and the triggers that come with visibility 58:13 We get to do this: gratitude for the free platforms we get to share on 01:01:19 Advice for anyone scared to let the world see who they are 01:03:05 How motherhood is shaping the way she shows up now RESOURCES & LINKS Follow Demi: Instagram.com/yourbizcoachdemiFollow Sarah: Instagram.com/bcsarahsaidsoRocket Fuel by Gino Wickman and Mark C.

    The Magic of the Highest Vantage Point

    My work wife Lauren Herman is a former medical speech language pathologist turned author, published researcher, and copywriting agency founder, and this turned into our longest episode yet because neither of us wanted it to end. We dig into why sitting on the fence, the exact thing people kept telling her to quit doing, became her real superpower for research, writing, and staying steady when everyone else wants to pick a fight. If you have ever fired off a comment or an email you wished you could take back, this conversation is for you. KEY TOPICS The three-year journey to publishing her book "But My Speech Is Fine," why she self-published, and how responsibility to the other SLPs who trusted her with their stories got her to hit publishGoing from clinician to published researcher, getting her work into a radiology journal, and having it picked up by a major radiology publicationStarting a copywriting agency for healthcare brands with no business or marketing degree, then scaling it into a small teamWhy being called a "fence sitter" turned out to be her superpower, and the difference between emotional, cognitive, and compassionate empathyThe college philosophy class and the Plato versus Aristotle essay where she first claimed the middle on purposeHow she knows when she has researched enough to speak on something, and how she prepares for every counterpoint before she postsA death row story that shows how cognitive empathy can completely reframe who the real problem isWhy people crave human-made writing, music, and content more than ever right nowHer tactic for the moment your emotions want to fire: type out the whole novel of a response, then sit on it for 24 hoursExploring film and journalism as her next creative medium TIMESTAMPS 00:01 Welcome and introducing Lauren01:09 "But My Speech Is Fine" and the Chicken Soup for the Soul inspiration05:49 Her three proudest accomplishments: the book, the research paper, the agency13:17 Being told to pick a side, and the three types of empathy20:08 The philosophy of happiness class and choosing the middle29:00 How she knows she has researched enough to speak43:50 Why human-made content matters more in an AI world1:11:09 The "type it out and sit on it" tactic1:14:05 Her venture into film and journalism RESOURCES & LINKS Lauren's book, "But My Speech Is Fine"Follow Lauren: Instagram.com/slp.writerFollow Sarah: instagram.com/bcsarahsaidso Loved this one?

    The Magic of Rehabbing Your Own Brain

    Anna Hernandez had a golf ball sized brain tumor she never saw coming, hidden for years behind migraines and sinus infections she kept finding reasons to brush off. The day it caught up with her, she was crawling on her office floor in the dark before a seizure sent her to the ER, and what followed was a recovery of her own making using what she knew as a speech-language pathologist and a years-long obsession with neuroplasticity. This conversation goes deep into how she taught her own brain to heal, why being weird is the whole point, and how she stopped asking "why me" long enough to build a life she's proud of. KEY TOPICS The sudden diagnosis and the symptoms Anna explained away for months before her seizureRehabbing her own brain after surgery with no prescribed therapy, using lists, structure, and self-directed neuroplasticityTelling your brain what to think, and how repetition rewires your thought patterns over timeFlower walks, morning sunlight, anchored sleep, and the brain health practices that carried her recoveryBeing the weird kid in two countries and how that became her magicSelf-advocacy in the workplace when your brain has a daily energy budgetThe friends who showed up for the dramatic part and the ones who stayed for the long recoveryWinning SLP of the Year at the NSA conference and the stranger who told her she was running from somethingHabit stacking gratitude and how five seconds can be a fork in the road TIMESTAMPS 00:45 Anna's background and the teaser of everything she's overcome06:35 The morning at school when she couldn't remember the kids' names or her password07:43 The diagnosis, the ICU week, and the surgery09:01 Going back to work one month later12:17 Rehabbing herself with no prescribed therapy18:23 Recognizing she rehabbed her own brain19:08 Breath work, flower walks, sleep, and what felt good to her brain22:14 "This is hard, but I'm doing it"24:11 Growing up between a village in Mexico and a small town in Texas26:02 Being weird is the magic29:14 The people who left and the people who stayed36:14 If we're not growing, we're shrinking38:02 "Do you ever wonder why me?"41:02 Winning SLP of the Year46:15 Working less, raising her prices, and building self-respect51:45 Why the fulfillment is in the work, not the reward RESOURCES & LINKS The Brain That Changes Itself: https://amzn.to/4fYi3UYRao, R.

    Audacious Magic: Somatic Clearing, Burnout Recovery, and Owning Your Worth

    Audacious Magic: Somatic Clearing, Burnout Recovery, and Owning Your Worth Lynda Stretton had a boss she genuinely loved, and one day he sat her down to help her out. She was a big person, he told her, with a big personality, a big energy, and a big smile, and she walked into rooms and intimidated people. Could she find a way to make herself a little smaller? Lynda had been hearing versions of that her whole life. She got told she was too tall, too direct, too fast, too much, and for a long time she believed it. In this episode she tells me how those exact qualities turned out to be the foundation of the work she does now, helping high achieving women own their worth and stop shrinking to keep everyone else comfortable. Lynda spent 17 years in corporate marketing, running a £45 million budget as a marketing director for three different brands, before she walked away from a six figure salary to be fully present with her kids. That choice became the start of her own healing and the method she teaches now, somatic clearing, with a goal of touching and transforming one billion lives. We get into trusting your intuition and following the energy, why lived wisdom will outlast knowledge in a world full of AI, the honest conversation around money and worth, and the way so many women lose themselves in their relationships and then carry that same smallness into their businesses. I loved this one, and I think you will too. KEY TOPICS Walking away from a six figure corporate marketing career to be a present mumSomatic clearing and healing what the body holds ontoBurnout recovery and rebuilding a business with strong boundariesOwning your worth and charging premium pricesTrusting your intuition, following the energy, and acting on an idea without overthinking itWhy wisdom and lived experience outlast knowledge in a world full of AIThe qualities women get told are "too much" becoming their real superpowersLosing yourself in a relationship and how it shows up in your businessFemale success, being the breadwinner, and navigating partners who feel triggered TIMESTAMPS 01:16 What Lynda's work looks like now and who she helps04:00 The origin of the Audacious One Mastermind05:30 Transforming one billion lives with somatic clearing06:48 Humble beginnings and a first job at £1.76 an hour14:10 What Lynda is most proud of and the choice to become a present mum20:38 Why people will pay for wisdom over knowledge23:35 Trusting intuition and the Money May download35:14 Being told she was too direct, too tall, too much41:39 Women losing themselves in relationships and in business50:26 Lynda's takeaway and the free breath work journey RESOURCES AND LINKS Find Lynda on IG: instagram.com/lynda.stretton/ Lynda's free breathwork: https://youtu.be/AVitwaN3gHA Find Sarah on IG: instagram.com/bcsarahsaidso Pod Site: YouAretheMagicPodcast.com Come join us for the You Are the Magic retreat at social-moguls.com/retreat
