You Are the Magic

Surviving the Seasons Meant to Break You Without Losing Your Magic

Theresa Richard has spent the last five years surviving things most people couldn't and building a career anyway. In this conversation we talk about why she refuses to play victim no matter what life hands her, how she keeps backing herself when the people around her don't, what cancel culture actually does to a person and how she came out the other side, the bigger conversation about pricing and scarcity in the SLP field, why knowing how you're wired changes everything about how you build a business and a life, and what it really takes to choose your hard.

KEY TOPICS

• Why Theresa doesn't identify with her accomplishments and what she's actually most proud of
• Surviving cancel culture and the long process of realizing it was never about her
• What building a business through divorce, IVF, and raising a child with special needs actually looks like behind the scenes
• The story of putting the medical SLP certification through NCCA accreditation when people told her to quit
• Why the field undervalues itself and the bigger conversation about pricing, scarcity, and public health dollars
• Knowing how you're wired through human design, ADHD, and Kolbe, and building a life and team around it
• Why she has no tolerance for victimhood and what radical responsibility actually looks like
• The role of mentorship and masterminds in the next iteration of who you become
• Why the loudest voices on the internet are the most insecure, and who's actually watching
• Choosing your hard

The Magic of Ditching the Good Girl Act
Emilie Karun did everything right. She married her high school sweetheart, had four beautiful babies, built the white picket fence life she'd always dreamed of. And then she woke up at 30 and realized something she hadn't been allowed to even wonder: was this all she actually wanted? That question kicked off an existential crisis. Am I a terrible woman if I want more? Am I a terrible mother? Years later, that question became the foundation of her brand, The Good Girl Revolution, where she helps women abandon everything they were taught in order to find what was actually theirs all along. This conversation is for any woman who has felt that quiet pull toward something bigger and immediately apologized for it. We get into feminine vs. masculine energy, why burnout is often the doorway, the question every woman should ask herself, and the kind of woman who becomes truly unstoppable (and exactly why the world doesn't want you to know how good she feels).

• Waking up to the realization that the life you built isn't the one you actually want
• The Good Girl Revolution and why being "good" was costing you yourself
• Feminine vs. masculine energy in business and life (and what feminine energy actually is, beyond the woo)
• The descent: why we meet our real selves in the collapse, not on the mountaintop
• How to start listening to your own desires after a lifetime of dismissing them
• The one question Emilie used to ask every potential client (and why 99.9% of women couldn't answer it)
• Building from wholeness vs. building from lack
• Why a woman who doesn't need permission is the most powerful thing in the room
• Becoming the Fuck Yes Woman and what it actually takes to own your desires

• 00:00 – Welcome and introducing Emilie Karun
• 02:20 – From white picket fence dreams to waking up at 30
• 05:42 – Starting the coaching business and the birth of the Good Girl Revolution
• 09:13 – You are the magic: accessing your feminine superpowers
• 11:05 – A generation of women rising into a new way
• 12:02 – Breaking down feminine vs. masculine energy (without the bullshit)
• 15:26 – The burnout that changed everything
• 17:35 – The feminine meets herself in the descent
• 25:00 – The divine breadcrumb and how the path actually reveals itself
• 27:30 – Creating from wholeness vs. lack: the question every woman should ask
• 31:00 – Sarah's 30-second sunshine ritual and pressing pause on growth
• 46:35 – Small unsexy steps and the truth about transformation
• 50:45 – Recognizing you are already her

Renaissance, Reverence, and Refusing to Conform: The Magic of Being That B!tch

Kim has built a $500,000 cash year empire with a little over a thousand followers, and she will be the first one to tell you that none of it would have been possible if she hadn't done the work first. She survived a childhood that, statistically, should have sent her in a completely different direction. She spent four years doing trauma and energy work from 5am to 10am every single day to put herself back together. And she came out the other side with this knowing that she will scream from the rooftops to anyone who will listen, which is that your magic is the moneymaking machine.

We get into so much in this one. We talk about why surviving your story is the accomplishment. We talk about that ceramic ball metaphor that I think about constantly now. We talk about the conditioning women carry around being too much, too loud, too emotional, too feminine, too anything. We talk about why corporate is not actually the safe bet you've been told it is. And we talk about how deciding to be that bitch is exactly as available to you as deciding to be anything else, because it's a decision either way. Kim is so much fun and so real and I genuinely could have kept her on for another three hours.

• Why Kim's biggest accomplishment is not the money, it is surviving the trajectory she was handed
• The Akashic records reading that explained why Kim has been a coach in every single lifetime
• My first $50K month, the guilt that came with it, and how two truths can live in your body at the same time
• Kim's token phrase that her clients hear all the time, which is that you do not have business problems, you have personal problems
• The ceramic ball metaphor and what four years of daily 5am healing work actually looked like
• Manifestation, the T-rex in the snow, and the playground theory of life
• Why your magic is your moneymaker and what it actually means to come fully online in your body and your brand
• Reinvention as a spiritual practice, being a Renaissance woman, and why the shame around pivoting is keeping so many women stuck
• Why corporate is not safe and betting on yourself is the only sure thing you have for life
• The biggest win of entrepreneurship, which is not the money, it is trusting yourself to figure it out
• Kim's advice for the woman ready to bet on herself and where to start

• Join Kim's free Money Making Queens community

If something in this episode lit you up, the next step is being in a room with women who are doing the work too. Come to the next You Are the Magic retreat!

You are the magic, my girl. Go be that bitch.
