my magic is not your magic. some people keep forgetting that.

in this episode, sisi sits in salvador and does what she does --- reflects, names what happened, and moves through it clean. she talks about why she launched itastelikemagic.com (hint: it was not the first time), the difference between her magic and other people's magic, and what happens when someone decides to test her boundaries in brazil of all places. she also revisits the evidential phase --- the tap, the porch, vanguard mystery school --- and how this podcast was always the next step, even when the plan didn't cooperate.

"i'm past the evidence phase at this point as i sit here in brazil. pulling all the things together and just really reflecting."

she went to daytona beach for a few days. she stayed two and a half years.

in this episode, sisi tells the full origin story of the name "i taste like magic" --- the daytona beach neon sign, the $200 uber ride from orlando, the no-key arrival, and the series of fortunate-unfortunate events that became evidence of something bigger. she talks about what it looks like to float through chaos while everyone around you is panicking. and why there's no english translation for what she carries, the same way there's no english word for saudade.

"it wasn't stressful or chaotic. it was just a series of very fortunate, unfortunate events that make my life magical."

i taste like magic

everyone has a role to play. and some of us were built to thrive exactly where others would break.

in this episode, sisi opens the podcast with a foundational truth: she is a catalyst. not a conduit, not a guide --- a catalyst. she talks about why she doesn't argue with people she wouldn't trade places with, how her cutoff game has been strong since childhood, and what it actually means to transmute energy instead of just surviving it. she connects the idea of the nemesis to the making of revolutionaries --- and makes the case that friction isn't a flaw in the plan, it is the plan.

"i will not argue with someone i wouldn't trade places with. it's not worth my time nor my energy."
