"I want to make my message feel more like me...and I want to repel the right people and also attract the right people."

I love this question and it's something I get to dive into with a client this week.

AND, I wanted to bring it to the podcast to share something that you won't hear many talking about in the messaging and copywriting space: There is a cost to being yourself in business.

But, yeah, it's worth it.

It's not just time, money, or even mindset.

When you make a bold declaration about what you want, and you really mean it and are ready to own it, anything that has been lingering around in your life that contradicts that version of you will make itself really loud.

And, your tolerance for it will feel a LOT different from before.

This is all an important part of the process of BECOMING someone who actually says and does the thing.

It's not for everyone.

But, if you're here and listening to this, or even a little interested, I have a feeling you're in the right place for you.

I'll be breaking down the 2 really important energetic shifts that happen when you're ready to step into your boldest self-expression yet.

Then, I'll get into a Future Self exercise that takes this well beyond mindset or habit changing.

If you know you have a real, timely and timeless message to share and that it's imperative you finally do it bravely and without holding back (no matter what others say or think), then this is where I'd begin.

Everything I'm teaching today is part of the 6 month mentorship program, Energy of Your Message, where I work with you to get into the energy of your boldest Self and your boldest message yet so you can creatively bring that into everything you put out there: your emails, podcast, books, program materials, and marketing.

You're not a boring joe schmoe marketing bro, so why market like one?

What happens when you start acting like a living legend now?

What is it about Florence Welch that draws such admiration and relief when she drops a new album?

When I say Prince, why do people automatically know who I'm talking about (and don't assume we're talking hoity toity old school royalty)?

What if more breakthrough product ideas were met with break-the-boring-rules marketing and branding?

And, why, when the closer you get to really embodying your fullness and owning your voice, the louder old voices of fear get?

We're getting into it today.

Powerful, memorable, leave-a-mark messaging is expressed by the messenger who bravely shows up and, little by little, stops holding back.

When you let go of the "why I shouldn't do this," and start saying "why not me?" something shifts and the right people start finding you.

This episode is all about owning your legacy message by being the legacy you know you truly are BEFORE you have evidence or outside feedback to validate that.

Save this episode for journal time later, because I have some prompts for you!

Then, I'll take you through a prototyping exercise to map out exactly what your legendary business and life look like when you're fully aligned, getting your voice out there, doing the work you came here to do, and getting paid to be yourself.

This lesson is pulled straight from my 6 month mentorship: Energy of Your Message.

If you're a founder of an online business and know it's beyond time to get really bold in your messaging and you also know it means shedding what no longer aligns with your next level timeline of business and wealth, let's talk.

This isn't just a copywriting or marketing course. It's a space for creators to remember who TF they are and start showing up as the legacies they truly are. When you get louder and more authentic, the right people and opportunities inevitably find you.

It's an application based program so we make sure it's a good fit all around.

Head over to https://sarahlucille.com/mentorship to follow the unique application process. It's quick and free to apply. I'll follow up via email from there. (And, no, it's not an automated follow up. You'll hear directly from me. I even make you a custom Loom based on your application!)

The part of you that certain mentors couldn't handle and that systems tried to silence is exactly what makes your message magnetic.

When your greatest gifts weren't always well received, it makes sense to tuck them away.

When you bring depth and curiosity and intuition into spaces that rely on you and others settling into the status quo, and chasing standardized ways of living, you'll meet resistance.

You're a disrupto.

But, that's kind of the good news now.

When you challenge the status quo, you're shifting paradigms. And, that's the kind of messaging that makes a difference. It's what people remember.

Your message is not reliant on trends. It doesn't need approval.

In this episode, I'm sharing how to reclaim the parts of you you've downplayed and recognize them as the source of your most magnetic messaging.

I'll get into

• The impact of the "mentorship wound" on your message
• What we can learn from Jean Grey and the Phoenix
• Playing small to belong, overgiving to prove worth, or being strategically "palatable" might have worked once, but not for long
• When you stop trying to make your message make sense to others and start trusting what's moving through you
• Four reflection prompts for integration

What happens when creatives follow their intuition over the question "what do people want?"

This episode is part two in a four part series on what it means to go beyond a smaller marketing message and get into your Legacy Message.

And today is all about the path of a Legacy Creator. How do you know if you're one?

Legacy creators see what's possible before it fully makes sense to others. They have endless ideas and feel most alive when they get to direct their energy and attention toward what they love learning and talking about.

And, they have often felt very strange in most spaces.

Like, they just don't quite fit in.

So, as many creatives have, they found ways to become useful. They took what they saw as possible and tried to do it for people.

If you know you're a creative, unique, insightful, intuitive person with a message to share, a reason for being here, then there's a Legacy Message in you.

And, part of your path involves untangling yourself from doing things in a way that feel safe but keeps you small.

You may be overfunctioning, overgiving, and overdoing things to feel safe and chosen (and paid). And, you put off the really big ideas because they aren't "practical."

But, that path is always trying to lead you into releasing what's not aligned with your Big Life and back into really doing what you came here to do.

In today's episode, I'll share the full part two Legacy Message lesson from inside my 6 month mentorship, Energy of Your Message. At the end, you'll have three prompts you can work through.

What Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar, and Shonda Rhimes teach us about Legacy Messaging...

In this new four-part series, I'm sharing one of my favorite lessons from my six-month mentorship, Energy of Your Message.

We're getting into legacy messaging. This is where you get to to do the kind of creative work that shapes movements and attracts an audience that feels like a connected community.

Your legacy message is why people stick with you and are willing to grow with you.

Also, I get to talk about three innovators I love, Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar, and Shonda Rhimes.

Listen for their quotes on trust, patience, and having sovereignty in your creative process.

You'll learn:

• Why trying to "prove" your message drains you and potentially your audience

• The difference between marketing for sales and creating for legacy

• How to trust intuitive downloads before you have evidence

• The role of rest, reflection, and discernment in your creative process

• Writing prompts to help you reconnect with your truest message

In today's climate, now more than ever, there's a reason it's so important for the creative and spiritual folks to really find their own words right now.

While other people are outsourcing their thinking and self-expression to tools like ChatGPT and templates, you pour your real gifts into the world when you own what it is you came here to say and do. And, when you know how to say that with full confidence.

Want to build trust with people faster?

Want longevity in your business?

Want to have your highest level of creativity fully seen and compensated well?

Want to attract people who really SEE you, appreciate you, and understand how valuable you are?

Find your words. Find your people.

In this episode:

1. What happens when even bright, intuitive, creative, spiritual folks hand their thoughts over to others (or AI) before exploring them themselves
2. The consequences of severing the connection between you (the Messenger) and the message
3. Recognizing when coaches/strategists often create made-up claims or outcomes to sell programs, betraying their own true bold messages and telling you yours won't work
4. Even if what you do feels hard to explain, it can be specific, direct, clear, concise, and cohesive
5. True innovators and creatives succeed by saying what hasn't been said and trusting their intuition
6. Internal voices + external voices (industry norms, coaches, critics, family) that can pressure you into compromising
7. How your wide range of skills are often packaged for other people's benefit, leaving you feeling undervalued and unseen (and how bolder messaging addresses this)
8. My daily practices with finding my words (and helping my clients do the same)

How do you stay in integrity with your message when you need to sell?

We're going to talk about what happens when we abandon ourselves as creatives in the name of "business."

We'll get into:

• Why "do people want this?" can start to erode the integrity of your message when you're a creative
• When you might be self-abandoning and how to come back to yourself and the purpose and depth of the message you're here to share
• Why you don't need everyone to understand your message or what you're creating right now
• Do an integrity check with your own message and work and why it really matters (especially now)

Come to the next free messaging class to learn the three parts of a really bold message: https://sarahlucille.com/will-my-message-work/

Today's question "Can I say it like that?"

When you're writing copy for anything in your business, it can bring up a lot of questions and hesitations around tone and how to phrase things.

Other common questions:

"Is this too pushy?"

"Too over the top?"

"How do I make my call to actions stronger without being salesy?"

"How can I get people to keep reading without cheesy attention grabbers?"

Open-hearted, compassionate, creative folks are used to feeling misunderstood.

And that history with (mis)communication can play in role in how much of yourself you bring into your current business and creations.

Did you learn at some point that the boldest, most confident and expressed version of yourself was too much? Were you corrected and told to tone it down?

Or, when you thought you were being clear, did people just not get you?

Getting into bold, direct and clear copy is more than just a formula or template. It's a process of reclaiming yourself again, with love, so that you can bring that version of you into what you say and express going forward.

That includes anything you create in your business.

This episode addresses the common client question "how do I attract higher quality leads?"

Trying to answer that question alone often puts the focus on the wrong things and gives us an illusion of control over factors we're really just guessing about.

Instead, we're going to rework the question before getting to a solution that could position you more boldly, clearly, and honestly.

Here's what we're getting into:

• Being more specific about what you mean when you choose certain words
• What happens when we talk about people as numbers
• Shifting from overfocusing on converting numbers to connecting with actual people
• How your boldest energy attracts more compatible clients
• We connect to commit, but we accidentally attract the wrong offers when we miss important messaging steps
• Consider your own energy and messaging BEFORE worrying about "quality leads"

🎙 The Energy of Your Message Podcast Hosted by Sarah Lucille – Messaging Mentor, Intuitive Strategist, and Creator of The Energy of Your Message Mentorship

This episode goes deep into the emotional and energetic layers of building a business, creating art, and showing up boldly when you're doing something that hasn't been done in your lineage before.

You could be the first in your family to build a business, speak and be seen publicly, or choose to live in full creative and personal sovereignty.

Here's what we're getting into: – What it really means to be a lineage healer in your work – Why discomfort, doubt, and resistance often surface right before expansion – The difference between curiosity and interrogation (and why it matters in your messaging) – How creative expression, visibility, and receiving wealth are radical acts when you weren't raised to believe they were possible – Why traditional "mindset" frameworks often miss the deeper, embodied healing your growth is calling for – The energetic cost of over-functioning and the shift required to receive at scale – What to do when you feel judged, doubted, or misunderstood by your family or community – How to hold your message as sacred especially when others don't get it
