Own Your SASS — Teaser | Come Back to You

Episode 4 — The Feeling You Forgot You Were Allowed To Have

Have you forgotten what it feels like to just be? Not performing, not producing, not holding it all together — just free? In this episode, Cherie gets real about the moment joy gets switched off — and why most of us have been living without it for longer than we realize. Drawing from her own story of losing herself at 16 and a TikTok challenge that reminded her what alive actually feels like, this episode is a gentle, honest invitation back to yourself. This isn't about spa days or self-care checklists. This is about the joy that lives in your body before your brain talks you out of it. The kind you had before someone taught you it was inconvenient. You'll hear: * Why real joy isn't something you find — it's something you remember * How perfectionism quietly steals your freedom * A grounding practice to help you reconnect with the version of you who used to dance just because the music was playing If you've felt disconnected, lost your sense of play, or quietly stopped being yourself — you're not broken. She's still in there. And this episode is for her. Check out The Sassy Hotline [https://cheriefaus-smith.com/the-sassy-hotline].

Episode 3 — You Have a Voice. You Always Did.

Somewhere along the way, you stopped believing that what you have to say actually matters. Not because it wasn't true. But because you were interrupted, dismissed, talked over, and made to feel like your feelings were an inconvenience - enough times that silence started to feel safer than speaking. In this episode, Cherie gets honest about why so many women reach that place, what it quietly costs us every time we edit the real thought before it reaches our lips, and what it looks like to find your way back to yourself. Your voice was never the problem. And it was never actually gone. This is your reminder that it's safe to use it. Check out The Sassy Hotline [https://cheriefaus-smith.com/the-sassy-hotline].

Episode 2 — Freedom From Who They Needed You To Be

It didn't happen all at once. It happened slowly - one small adjustment, one swallowed feeling, one softened opinion at a time - until you'd become so good at being who everyone else needed that you stopped knowing who you actually were. In this episode, Cherie gets personal about why so many women end up living inside a performance instead of a life, what it really costs us to keep shapeshifting for everyone else's comfort, and what freedom actually looks like when we start coming back to ourselves. It's not a dramatic reinvention. It's quieter than that. It starts with just noticing. If this episode made you feel a little more you… share it with someone who needs it too.

Episode 1 — Reclaiming the Word They Used Against You

Somewhere along the way, sass stopped meaning spirit. It became a label. A way to make you the problem for simply having something to say. And a lot of us believed them. In this first episode, Cherie gets honest about what it really means to shrink yourself — not all at once, but slowly and quietly, until you start calling it growth. She talks about why women were taught to be small, what it costs us when we stay that way, and what it actually looks like to start coming back to yourself. It's not loud. It's not dramatic. It's one small, honest moment at a time. This is where it starts. If this episode made you feel a little more you… share it with someone who needs it too.

Own Your SASS — Teaser | Come Back to You

There's a woman out there who woke up one day and didn't quite recognize herself anymore. Not because something dramatic happened. Not because she fell apart. But because she's been quietly putting herself last for so long... she forgot she was even on the list. This is for her. This is for you. Own Your SASS is a podcast for women who are ready to stop performing okayness and start actually feeling it. Real talk. Real stories. Real joy - not the curated kind. We're going to talk about using your voice again, trusting yourself without needing someone else to sign off on it first, and saying the thing you've been holding back. No fixing. No judgment. No pretending. Just finally feeling seen. If this episode made you feel a little more you… share it with someone who needs it too. Follow Own Your SASS so you don’t miss what’s next.
