You have heard the saying show people how you want to be treated. But what if you took that one step further and showed the universe?

In this warm, luminous, and deeply personal episode of The Magic in the Middle, Sarah shares the simple daily rituals that have shifted her energy from a lifetime of feeling abandoned, unworthy, and alone to feeling celebrated, supported, and deeply loved. Not because everything changed on the outside. But because she changed on the inside first.

This is an episode about radical self-love in the most practical, beautiful, accessible way possible. No grand gestures required. Just a face cream, a warm bath, rose petals, and the willingness to say to yourself...I am worth this.

In this episode you will discover:

• Why showing up for yourself in small, intentional ways is one of the most powerful signals you can send to the universe
• The face care ritual Sarah does every morning that turns a two minute routine into a healing, energetic practice using Qigong principles
• How blessing your skincare, your food, and your drinks shifts the energy inside your body at a cellular level
• The mirror exercise that Sarah credits as one of the most transformational and tearful practices she has ever done
• Why an empty cup cannot fill another empty cup and how filling yourself first is not selfish but sacred
• How music, rose petals, bath oils, and a single cup of sleepy time tea can become acts of profound self-devotion
• The connection between how you treat yourself and what the universe mirrors back to you

Sarah has walked from deep self-loathing, feeling small and unworthy of her own love, to this. And she wants the same for you. Because when you are full, when you are truly full, everything shifts. The way you speak. The way you think. The way life shows up for you.

You are worth slowing down for. You are worth rose petals. You are worth every beautiful thing.

Show the universe. It is listening.

You have the track record. You have the experience. You have done hard things before. So why does that voice inside still whisper that you are not enough?

In this deeply illuminating episode of The Magic in the Middle, Sarah sits down with her friend, executive coach, and clinical hypnotherapist Sabine Lehner, founder of Turnaround Practice in Australia, for a conversation that goes far below the surface of confidence, doubt, and what it actually takes to change the tapes that have been running your life.

Sabine spent nearly a decade in finance before a single moment with a colleague in tears showed her that people mattered more to her than numbers ever would. She walked out of that office on a Thursday and never went back. What followed was a decade of deep study, corporate transformation work across three continents, and the creation of a coaching practice that does something most coaches never do: it goes straight to the subconscious source.

And while Sabine works with leaders and high achievers, everything she shares in this episode is for every single one of us. Because the subconscious mind does not care whether you run a company or a household, whether you are a CEO or a creative, a parent or a student. The old tapes run the same in all of us. The patterns formed in childhood do not check your job title before they show up. And the freedom that comes from finally understanding what has been quietly running your life belongs to everyone.

Because here is what Sabine knows, and Sarah knows from personal experience: you cannot think your way out of a subconscious pattern. And until you find the old tape that is running in the background, all the strategy in the world will only take you so far.

In this conversation you will discover:

• Why high achievers are often the most secretly insecure people in the room, and the surprising reason why their success makes the doubt louder, not quieter
• The difference between doubt that is undermining you and doubt that is actually your wisest informing agent, and why knowing which is which changes everything
• How Sabine combines clinical hypnotherapy with executive coaching to clear the window so you can finally see your situation, your strengths, and your path forward with total clarity
• Why an 18 minute guided hypnotherapy session can shift something that years of talk therapy never touched
• The moving goalpost pattern that keeps high achievers perpetually feeling like they are falling short, no matter how much they achieve
• How stress literally narrows your thinking and sends you straight back to a belief you formed at age 10, and what to do the moment you feel that happening
• Why unshakeable confidence is not the goal, and what emotional intelligence has to do with genuine, grounded success

Sarah speaks personally in this episode about her own experience working with Sabine, and what shifted in her when the old tapes finally stopped running. This is one of the most practical, science-grounded, and quietly transformational conversations The Magic in the Middle has ever hosted so far.

You are not your doubt. You never were. And there is a way through that is faster and more freeing than you might ever have imagined.

That panic you feel right before you take the next step? That voice saying who do you think you are? That is not a stop sign. That is proof you are growing.

In this episode of The Magic in the Middle, Sarah gets beautifully raw and real about her own nervous system, sharing the panic that still visits her as she steps deeper into this podcast, this work, and the next greatest version of herself. From painfully shy and self-loathing to leading Qigong in front of thousands, she is walking this path right alongside you, and she wants you to know: the growing pains are not the problem. They are the invitation.

This episode builds on last week's guided manifestation practice and goes even deeper, giving you the science and the somatic tools to keep your nervous system on your side as you expand.

In this episode you will discover:

• Why your excuses, your fear, and your resistance are not character flaws but your nervous system doing exactly what it was designed to do
• Three powerful somatic techniques to calm your nervous system in real time, including the Voo breath, the sniff and exhale, and the shoulder tap practice
• How to speak directly to the frightened part of yourself with love instead of frustration, and why that changes everything
• Why what we resist persists and how loving the monkey mind rather than fighting it is the key to finally moving through it
• How the Fire Horse energy of 2026 is making this the most potent time in 60 years to release old karma, old patterns, and old stories that have been keeping you small
• Why your growing pains, just like a teenager's, are simply proof that you are becoming more

Sarah speaks not from theory but from a lifetime of hard-won healing. This is practical, loving, grounded wisdom for anyone who is ready to grow and just needs to know it is safe to do so.

You are safe. You are growing. And those two things can absolutely be true at the same time.
