Audacity, People Pleasing, Confidence, Threads Icks, and That One Time I Threatened To Sue Walmart (Switcheroo Series Ep. 2 with Adrienne Cruz)

"You will be giving me the job, or I will call my attorney."That's a real sentence fifteen-year-old me said to a Walmart HR rep, on the phone, in homeroom, over a paint-stirring position. I don't even know who my attorney was supposed to be; I just knew I'd already signed the papers and I wasn't about to let some HR lady tell me no.That's basically been my whole personality since birth, and in this episode, my podcast editor Adrienne Cruz decided it was time to talk about it.She kicked me out of the host chair, gave the whole episode a theme (Sara's Audacity), and asked me questions I had zero chance to prepare for, including "what's the most audacious thing you've ever done in business, dating, and life," which, deadass, I had two answers for in every single category.TOPICS & TANGENTS— Why I can’t stand "desperate loser energy" on Threads or anywhere— Why people pleasing is selfish— Cringe vs. conversational copy— The real reason I started this podcast (it has to do with Substack)— When I started diversifying my income— How to get known in a flooded industry without "just be yourself" as the only answer— Managing ADHD as a single mom with four newsletters and zero chill— A very important Love Island USA rant— Adrienne's selfish question: how to hit 500 newsletter subscribers by the end of Q3POINT OF THE STORYDon’t wait to feel confident before you act like it.
