ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What happens when the woman who used to count down the steps until she had to read aloud in class is now the one holding the mic for hundreds of women?
Kelsey sits down with Madeline Sargent — podcast host of She Says It and founder of Madly Creative, a creative studio helping women find their voice through branding and storytelling — for a conversation that is warm, real, and full of unexpected magic. Madeline's path into this work didn't start with a grand vision. It started with a hiking group in Seattle, a woman named Bethany, a six-week intuitive healing program, and a message that dropped in during a meditation so clearly it made her cry.
She says it.
From there, a one-way ticket to Portugal after a hard season with family, a Kindred Spirit statue in Cork that brought her to tears connecting her Choctaw and Irish ancestors, and eventually a full rebrand of her best friend's Jewish bakery — all of it wove together into a woman who is building something genuinely her own.
This conversation also holds one of the most delightful moments in Reclamation history. Kelsey creates a new intuitive practice live on the mic: spiritual mad libs. She and Madeline each write three sentences, splice them together without knowing what the other wrote, and what comes through will stop you mid-listen.
Here you'll learn:
- How a message dropped in for Madeline during a meditation and launched She Says It — and what it felt like to hear it for the first time
- Why finding your voice is not a destination but an ever-evolving process, and how Madeline has learned to trust that
- The astrocartography discovery that confirmed what Seattle has always been for her — and why we carry our energy with us wherever we go
- How she helped her best friend of ten years rebrand her Jewish bakery simply by reflecting back who she already was
- What Madeline says to the woman who thinks someone is already doing what she wants to do
- The no-pressure approach that actually created more movement in her business than the hustle ever did
- The spiritual mad libs transmission Kelsey and Madeline channel live — a message that lands like it was meant for whoever is listening
You can do it. Say it and speak it. The right people are listening. And if you feel doubt, that's okay. It's part of the process of learning what matters most to you.
