A New Year, But Make It Intentional Artwork

Southern Unscripted

Southern Unscripted is a podcast rooted in real conversations, honest reflection, and a little everyday chaos. Hosted by Sarah Derouen, this show is a space for unfiltered talks about life, growth, relationships, business, wellness, culture, and everything in between — the kind of conversations that don’t always fit into a neat category.

Some episodes are solo and reflective. Others are conversational and interview-based. All of them are intentional, authentic, and rooted in curiosity rather than perfection. This podcast isn’t about having it all figured out — it’s about talking it out in real time.

Season 2 marks a new chapter: more intention, more presence, and conversations that feel meaningful instead of rushed. Expect thoughtful insights, honest opinions, laughs along the way, and stories that feel relatable — like sitting down with a friend who’s navigating it all right alongside you.

New episodes release biweekly, with occasional bonus episodes when inspiration strikes.

Welcome to Southern Unscripted — real life, real conversations, no script required.

Season 2 kicks off with intention, reflection, and a fresh perspective on goal-setting — without the pressure or perfection. In this episode, I’m sharing what it really looks like to enter a new year aligned instead of overwhelmed. We’re talking about setting goals that actually make sense for your life, releasing expectations that don’t serve you, and choosing growth that feels sustainable.

I open up about practices that have helped me gain clarity over the years, including why I write a letter to myself every year, the revelations that come with slowing down, and how awareness can change the way we move forward. This episode is about creating direction without rigid plans, honoring where you are, and giving yourself permission to evolve.

Season 2 is all about adding value while still leaving room for fun, honesty, and real-life conversations. If you’re craving a grounded start to the year that feels thoughtful instead of rushed, this episode is for you.
