The Magic in the Middle
The Magic in the Middle is a weekly podcast where science meets spirituality—and life begins to flow with greater joy, clarity, and ease.
Hosted by Sarah Adams Marr Dumas, this show explores the “middle” the space, the void, between effort and ease, logic and intuition, science and soul. It’s in this space that inner wisdom rises and real transformation happens.
Each episode offers thoughtful reflections and grounded insights to help you reconnect with yourself, trust your inner guidance, and allow life to unfold more naturally. As you learn to meet yourself in the middle, decisions feel clearer, energy shifts, and life begins to feel lighter, richer, and more aligned.
This podcast is for curious, open-hearted people who know there is more available in life; more joy, more abundance, more ease and want to live a life that feels truly wonderful from the inside out.
This is living The Magic in the Middle.

Ep 09 How You’re Abandoning Yourself Without Realizing It
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Have you ever said, “I don’t have time for myself” — and kept pushing through?
What if that’s not productivity… but abandonment?
In this powerful episode of The Magic in the Middle, Sarah shares a profound realization about the subtle ways we abandon ourselves every day. From skipping rest to ignoring intuition, from rushing through life to putting ourselves last, these habits slowly disconnect us from the child within who longs to be seen and heard.
And that disconnection comes at a cost.
Inside this episode you’ll discover:
• The quiet behaviors that signal self-abandonment
• Why procrastination and overgiving are often deeper than they appear
• How reconnecting with your inner child restores strength and clarity
• A guided golden-light meditation to help you listen, acknowledge, and act
• Why putting yourself first isn’t selfish...it’s transformational
When you stop abandoning yourself, and start to love yourself something remarkable happens.
Joy begins to rise naturally.
Energy returns.
Life feels adventurous again.
This episode invites you to pause, reconnect, and begin showing up for yourself in a new way not through pressure, but through love.
Because when you are whole, you don’t just change your life.
You change the world around you.
Meet yourself in the middle.
