Sacred & Sovereign

This episode is for the woman who’s done tucking parts of herself away just to be “palatable.” If you’ve ever muted your magic or shaped yourself into something neat, serious, or polished so others would take you seriously, this one’s going to hit home.

I take you behind the scenes into my days as an NBC reporter, when I believed being serious was the only way to succeed. And then, I share the wild (and sometimes painful) journey back to reclaiming my playful, sparkly, rebellious self... and why it’s now my superpower.

Because here’s the truth: the parts of you you’ve tucked away? They’re not gone. 

They’re waiting backstage, ready to return. And when you stop compartmentalizing and start showing up as the unicorn you are… your voice becomes magnetic.

Takeaways from this episode:

• Why compartmentalizing your brilliance dulls your voice (and how to reclaim it)
• How I trained myself to “be serious” and what it cost me in joy, fun, and true expression
• The magic that happens when you show up as fully yourself (hint: magnetism + legacy-level impact)
• Why Sovereign Expression™ is the most aligned, playful body of work I’ve ever created

I’m also inviting you to my brand-new masterclass, Unforgettable, happening this Friday, September 26th at 12pm CT. Think of it like a voice liberation party disguised as a masterclass. This is your first step to reclaiming your authentic expression and having way more fun doing it.

This is the story I’ve wanted to share with you since the moment I launched this podcast. It’s tender. It’s raw. It’s sacred. And today it’s ready.
In this episode, I’m taking you deep into my personal journey of what it really means to reclaim visibility. Not just as a strategy. But as a full-body, soul-deep return to self.

Five years ago, something happened that shattered my sense of safety and triggered a spiral into invisibility... one that looked like me putting on 40 pounds of protective weight, emotional numbness, and a deep disconnection from my body.
What followed was years of remembering. Rebuilding. Reclaiming.
This episode is about:

• The moment I froze & what I’ve learned about the sacredness of that trauma response
• The armor we build (and how it shows up in ways you might not expect)
• The mirror ritual that cracked me open and called me home
• How I reconnected with my body, my senses, and my inner wisdom
• What visibility feels like now and why I’ll never perform for approval again

If you’ve ever hidden parts of yourself to feel safe…
If your body has carried the burden of your silence…
If you’re ready to speak, not to be seen, but to be sovereign… this is for you.
DM me on Instagram @elizabethsbrett and share:
 

How have you been protecting yourself?
What armor are you ready to lay down?
And what does visibility mean for you now?

Because when women rebuild their relationship with visibility from the inside out and  reclaim their voices, they are unstoppable.

This episode was born from a powerful session with one of my dream clients inside Magnetize. When I asked her what she most wanted to feel as she stepped into her next level of thought leadership, she said two words: rooted and ready.

That phrase landed in my body like a bell. Because isn’t that what we all long for when we’re on the edge of expansion? To feel grounded in who we are, clear in our message, and prepared to walk into the room—any room—with presence and certainty.

I’m pulling back the curtain on what it really means to be rooted and ready. I share the identity shifts required to step from being the woman who delivers results into the woman whose voice, presence, and stories lead the room.

We’ll also explore a deeper truth about visibility. It’s not about chasing attention or trying to get louder. I’ll give you a working definition of visibility, then guide you into what I call visibility as devotion and an embodiment ritual you can use right now to anchor yourself in that rooted and ready energy

And finally, you’ll leave this episode not just inspired, but with a tangible way to step into your next level of visibility.

Inside this episode, you’ll experience:

• A grounded definition of visibility that goes far deeper than “being seen.”
• What it looks like to treat visibility as devotion, not performance.
• The identity shift required to move from being a doer to stepping fully into thought leadership.
• How to release what no longer serves you and reclaim the parts of yourself that are essential to your voice.
• A guided embodiment ritual to help you root into who you are becoming and lead with presence and clarity.

This one feels intimate, like I recorded it just for you. Because I know if you’re listening, you’re already on the edge of your own expansion. And I want you to feel deeply supported as you step into it.

This episode wasn’t what I had planned.

I had something else scripted for part three of the Storytelling Series, but life had other ideas. And maybe that’s the most aligned thing I could have shared with you today.

Because here’s the truth: we don’t just tell powerful stories... we live them.
And lately, I’ve been deep in one of my own.

In this episode, I’m letting you into the real-time unfolding.
Not the polished version. Not the final chapter.

The raw, unfiltered middle. The sacred mess. In this episode, I share:

• Why I believe life is the initiation and how our greatest challenges are often our biggest teachers
• What it was like to completely lose my voice in the middle of launching my book and stepping into deeper visibility
• The sacred invitation I received to slow down, surrender, and rewrite my own rules
• What I’m releasing, what I’m reclaiming, and why this initiation is changing the way I lead and speak
• How you can begin to live your story, not just tell it and why that changes everything

 What you'll leave with:

• how to reframe unexpected challenges
• recognizing when you're in the middle of a rebirth
• when to share a story you're living through
• how this moment you’re in might become some of your most powerful content

 Mentioned in This Episode:

• Grab the book anthology with my intimate chapter included: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FCJQ712W
• Listen to Part 1: The One Thing AI Can Never Replicate
• Listen to Part 2: How to Be Unforgettable & Share Magnetic Stories

If you’re in the middle of something messy and sacred… I see you.

This is the work. To recognize that you are living your story right this second. That your life is the narrative. And that this challenge or rebirth will become powerful content when you're ready to share it.

In this second part of my three-part storytelling series, I take you behind the scenes into an unforgettable interview from my career as an NBC reporter... standing in the eye of a hurricane, talking to a man who had just swam for his life.

I use his story of survival to share how I learned to get to the soul of a story into just a few powerful questions and how you can use this same framework to create unforgettable stories that grip your audience and leave them wanting more.

Whether you’re speaking on stage, shooting a LIVE, recording a podcast, or sharing your work at a dinner party, the ability to tell a magnetic story is what makes people remember you, be moved into action by you, and share you. And it’s a skill you can learn.

Today, I walk you through the exact four-part framework I use to craft stories that linger in someone’s mind long after the conversation ends.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How to build your Story Vault so you always have stories ready to share.
• Why your entry point and ending can completely change the impact of your story.
• The three powerful questions I ask to distill a story to its most compelling core.
• How to connect your story to your audience so it moves them into action.

By the end of this episode, you’ll know how to start telling stories that aren’t just interesting—they’re unforgettable.

In this soul-deep episode of Sacred & Sovereign, I’m inviting you into one of the most personal stories I’ve ever shared—not because it’s polished, but because it’s real.

This is a homecoming.

Not into someone new... but into every version of me I once was and almost left behind.

You’ll hear about:

• The seasons where I disowned parts of myself to "evolve"
• The moment the Alchemical Goddess whispered her invitation back to wholeness
• How subtle compartmentalization can dilute our magnetism
• And the truth that your next level isn’t a reinvention—it’s a reclamation

This episode is for the woman who’s done deep inner work and still feels like pieces of her are waiting to be brought home. If you've ever edited your truth, hidden your softness, or questioned how your gifts fit together—this is for you.
You’ll leave this episode with reflection prompts to explore the versions of yourself you’ve tucked away… and a powerful invitation to bring them forward in your message, your leadership, and your legacy.

Mentioned in this episode: 

• Episode 1 – My Near-Death Experience
• Episode 27: Reclaiming Visibility - the 40 lbs I carried
• I'm Reclaiming her

Reflection Prompt:
“What is the version of me I’ve left behind?
And what would reclaiming her unlock in my leadership?” Want to share your homecoming?

DM me on Instagram @ElizabethSBrett... I’d love to witness the part of you that’s ready to be reclaimed.

This is not a traditional interview. It’s a sacred remembering. A devotion to story as a path of reclamation.
In this powerful episode of Sacred & Sovereign, Elizabeth Brett sits down with soul sister and priestess-publisher Astara Jane Ashley for a deep, intentional journey through the origin story of Magdalene Unveiled—a newly released anthology born from grief, reverence, and divine instruction.
This episode is the embodiment of Elizabeth’s Story Alchemy™ method in real time: a slowed-down, heart-led process that distills truth from memory and uncovers the gold within a woman’s lived experience.
Together, they explore:

• The mystical roots and rebirth of Magdalene Unveiled
• How Astara was guided to move from burnout to divine service
• The return to Christ consciousness through the feminine
• The sacred veil, devotion as practice, and reclaiming sovereign leadership
• Why storytelling—when held in sacred space—heals the storyteller and the listener

This episode is an invitation into presence. Into prayer. Into the power of one story told fully.Resources & Links:
