The Energy of Your Message with Sarah Lucille

Mythology, History, Identity & Your Message

Energy of Your Message is hosted by Sarah Lucille, Founder of Energy of Your Message, speaking to Taboo teachers and Messengers whose work doesn't fit into conventional marketing boxes and who feel called to teach, coach, or work 1:1 in multifaceted, hard‑to-describe ways. Learn more at www.sarahlucille.com [https://www.sarahlucille.com]. A central theme of the episode is identity, one of my favorite topics. Identity shapes how we communicate, what we believe is possible for us, and how we relate to our purpose. Many people inherit identities, stories, and expectations without consciously questioning them. That can seep into how you express yourself, talk about what you do, what you allow yourself to do, and cause you to hold back on really going there when it comes to your own message. I'm going to talk about this through the lens of mythology, history, and especially how symbols and stories shape collective identity and power. And, from there, we'll get into the path of being a Taboo Teacher and someone with an important message to share. Your own life journey becomes part of your message: Pain Desire Transformations Pattern-breaking Relationships Failures Awakenings Identity shifts Let me know what thoughts come up for you!

When You Decide that You Do Matter (Especially Now)

What's a question that so many adults ask children? "What do you want the BE when you grow up?" Today we're going to get into why this question and some early messaging is so much deeper than they seem. What happens when we let external messaging continue to tell us who we are? When we decide who other people are based on learned measurements of status? What are the consequences of letting these messages tell us whether or not we matter? We're talking creativity, the concept of effort, the experience of learning, our relationship to time, and why we're being pushed to devalue ourselves and what it means to be human. And, what are the possibilities when you push back? What does it look like to choose yourself in a world that's trying to say the human experience isn't important?

How Do I Explain What I Do? Why This Question Is That Deep

Hey there, Sarah Lucille here, Founder of Energy of Your Message. Before we dive in, make sure you're receiving my Weekly Stories of Becoming at www.sarahlucille.com/newsletter.

This podcast is for artists, creatives, intuitives, healers, and messengers who know their work doesn't fit inside tiny marketing boxes.

If you want to go deeper into this work, you can also join the waitlist for Energy of Your Message at www.sarahlucille.com/mentorship [http://www.sarahlucille.com/mentorship]. Energy of Your Message is my 12-week mentorship where we work together to develop your boldest, truest core message and translate it into a clear offer and the marketing assets you need to share it with the world. In this episode, I'm exploring why the question "How do I explain what I do?" is often so much deeper than it seems, especially for healers, intuitives, creatives, and people whose work doesn't fit inside a tiny marketing box. I'm looking at the identity work, fear, doubt, scarcity, self-abandonment, past experiences of being misunderstood, and all the ways you may have learned to shrink yourself, prove yourself, or filter your truth in order to feel safe, chosen, or successful. 5 Key Takeaways to Listen For * Why "How do I explain what I do?" is usually not just a messaging question, but an identity and healing question too * The simple prompt I use to deconstruct this question * Why expansive healers and creatives often struggle to describe their work when it doesn't lead to just one neat outcome * How scarcity, doubt, self-abandonment, resentment, and past experiences of being misunderstood can affect your message * Why your clearest message comes from deeper self-trust, discernment, and the courage to stop shrinking what you really do Mentioned in This Episode * Energy of Your Message Mentorship [https://sarahlucille.com/mentorship/] * Continuous Creation [https://sarah-s-site-88aa.thinkific.com/products/live_events/create] * Weekly Stories of Becoming Newsletter [https://sarahlucille.com/newsletter/] * Kim Krans Archetypes Deck (affiliate link) [https://amzn.to/47ILTYs] * The Alchemist's Oracle (affiliate link) [https://amzn.to/3P92Chk] * The Four Agreements (affiliate link) [https://amzn.to/4bkmffb]

You feel ready to embrace your voice, your calling, and your draw to teach and help others in big ways. You want to create offers you love selling and fill your client roster and programs without falling into icky, pushy, manipulative salesy approaches. There's one marketing exercise that has a sneaky way of getting you to shrink your message: defining your ideal client avatar As I go over in today's episode, the approach to niching down can narrow your message so much it doesn't bring you the same joy nor does it even feel very aligned anymore. How do you sell something you'll eventually come to resent? I've seen it and I've been the person to come in and help address it. These ideal client exercises can seem innocent enough. It's reasonable to ask "who is the best fit for what I do and what outcomes do they want?" Yet, the initial approach to many of these exercises have too many healers and creatives with big messages feeling like they have to suck it up and promise certain outcomes in order to sell their program...even if the outcomes aren't entirely true. You don't need to do all that. I promise. I've been the go-to person for health and wellness practitioners and creatives who have felt unheard and misunderstood in many other marketing programs or by copywriters. Your ideal clients should be ideal for you too. That's why I teach a prototyping exercise to do before you overly define who your dream client really is. When you write, speak and share your message and imagine them listening, it will have you feeling more like yourself, not less. That's the intention. Try it out in today's episode. And makes sure to apply for Energy of Your Message before Feb 28th if you're feeling the pull to go all in on your offer and program over the next 12 weeks: https://airtable.com/appTly5g4HInjHEwv/pagW3gDBV5zTOS9Py/form

How to Approach Your Message When You Have More Than One Ideal Client

Try the FREE Energy of Your Message journal prompts and join me for weekly deep dives into healing, teaching, and becoming the person your Higher Self already knows you are: https://sarahlucille.com/newsletter/ [https://sarahlucille.com/newsletter/] When you have a big message and many ways that you help people, it can feel difficult to decide on an ideal client or topic. Honestly, it can feel straight up limiting. What happens when you have created multiple offers that seem to be for different people? This is especially relevant for healers, coaches, wellness practitioners, and creatives. Your skills are limitless. And, you have a natural gift you know helps people. But a lot of that doesn't come through, the real essence of YOU, when you put your message into tiny marketing boxes too soon. There's a creative phase in messaging that gets skipped in the name of rushing out something "that works." But, a lot of times it doesn't work, stops working, or doesn't work well for YOU (as in it starts draining the life force energy right out of you). That's why I take a very energetic approach to messaging. How do you bring out your boldest message and still connect with someone who can become a client? How do you do that without getting salesy or betraying your values? Today, I'm deep diving into a client's ideal client avatars to show how I'd create messaging that speaks to their most viable client in a human first manner. You're getting a behind the scenes look at the way I create an email sequence the Energy of Your Message way that allows for a big message to come through and connect with aligned clients. Instead of shrinking things into marketing boxes that'll have you talking like a robotic infomercial, this puts connection first. More than the ideal client avatar, we want to understand the person we're communicating with plus the relationship they have to their situation. How do they feel about it? Talk about it? Why do they talk about it that way? What's underneath pain points like overwhelm and burnout where, when you name the truth of what's going on, they feel seen, heard, and like they matter. That's what we're digging into today and exploring a business that helps creatives nurture their art while creating more stability around money and time.
