In this episode, we’re bringing back from the archives, Sarah revisits a powerful and deeply relevant conversation on navigating a spiritual crisis.

Whether sparked by personal upheaval, collective grief, or a slow inner collapse, spiritual crises can feel isolating and disorienting. But as Sarah reminds us, they are also part of being human and can become portals to deeper connection, clarity, and transformation.

In this episode, we explore:

• What a spiritual crisis is
• The emotional weight of living through overwhelming or uncertain times
• Why hardship is not a reflection of failure or “doing something wrong”
• The “Three A’s” for moving through crisis: Availability, Acknowledgement, and Adaptability
• The concept of the healing spiral and why growth isn’t linear
• How to reconnect with intuition, even when it feels distant or inaccessible
• The importance of nature, small rituals, and grounded practices for support
• How to stay present with yourself through grief, anger, and uncertainty

In this episode, Sarah is joined by licensed clinical scientist and author of Brains Like Ours: A Smart Girls Guide to Mood, Modern Life, and the Science Behind Mental Health Tyla Bee, who is on a mission to help people better understand their labs, their symptoms, and the powerful connection between intuition and data.

After experiencing rough mental health symptoms and discovering a critical vitamin deficiency that changed everything, Tyla transformed her personal journey into a framework for helping others take their health into their own hands.

In this conversation, Tyla breaks down why standard lab ranges can miss important imbalances, how chronic stress and nervous system overload show up in your bloodwork, and which key markers are often overlooked in conventional care.

You’ll learn:

• Why “normal” lab results don’t always mean optimal health
• The key labs most people aren’t getting (but should be)
• How inflammation, hormones, and stress impact your mental health
• The connection between intuition and biological data
• Practical ways to advocate for yourself in a broken healthcare system

What if astrology isn’t something you believe in—but something you practice?

In this episode of Moonbeaming, Sarah is joined by Dr. Michael J. Morris, a queer feminist astrologer, tarot reader, artist, and teacher, for an expansive conversation on astrology as a practice rather than a belief system.

Together, they explore relational and feminist astrology, conflict as a site of growth, and what it means to become who we are through what we practice.

We hope you’ll find this conversation to be a grounding and thought-provoking exploration of how astrology can support personal and collective transformation, not as something to believe in, but as something to live.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Why astrology can be understood as a practice rather than a belief system
• How “we become what we practice” shapes who we are over time
• The difference between belief-based thinking and practice-based living
• How astrology can shift your relationship to time, pacing, and life milestones
• Why there’s no such thing as being “behind” in your life
• How astrology invites us into relationship with the more-than-human cosmos
• Why conflict is necessary, generative, and even vital for growth
• Practices for staying present with discomfort instead of avoiding it
• How to structure a creative life through cycles instead of constant productivity

Meet Michael:

Michael J. Morris is a queer feminist astrologer, tarot reader, dance artist, writer, and educator committed to personal and collective healing and liberation. They began their consulting practice Co Witchcraft Offerings in 2019 through which they share astrology, tarot, and movement-based rituals.

What if astrology isn’t something you believe in, but something you practice?

If you’ve ever felt confused about astrology you’re not alone. So many of us have been taught to approach spirituality through belief systems: Do you believe in this or not? And if you don’t, does that mean it has no value?

But what if that question is the wrong place to start?

In this episode of Moonbeaming, Sarah sits down with Dr. Michael J. Morris, queer feminist astrologer, writer, and teacher, to explore a radically different approach: astrology as a practice. Together, they unpack what becomes possible when we move away from belief and toward something we return to, live with, and grow through over time.

If you’ve been craving a more grounded, relational, and expansive way to engage with astrology (and with your life), this conversation offers both clarity and invitation.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Why astrology can be understood as a practice rather than a belief system
• How “we become what we practice” shapes who we are over time
• The difference between belief-based thinking and practice-based living
• How astrology can shift your relationship to time, pacing, and life milestones
• Why there’s no such thing as being “behind” in your life
• How astrology invites us into relationship with the more-than-human cosmos
• Why conflict is necessary, generative, and even vital for growth
• Practices for staying present with discomfort instead of avoiding it
• How to structure a creative life through cycles instead of constant productivity

In the end, the question isn’t what you believe, it’s who you become through what you practice.

What does it mean to follow creativity as a path of inquiry?

In this episode, Sarah sits down with writer, curator, and founder of Silver Press, Sarah Shin, for a thoughtful conversation about creativity, intuition, and the role of language in shaping how we understand the world.

Sarah Shin shares her path as the founder of Silver Press, a feminist publishing house dedicated to formally inventive writing, and Spiral House, an imprint exploring art, poetry, transformation, and alternative ways of knowing. Through publishing, curation, and collaboration, her work creates spaces for ideas that exist at the intersection of literature, philosophy, and the esoteric.

Together, Sarah and Sarah explore how creative practice can become a way of thinking — and how poetry, myth, and symbolic language can help us understand experiences that don’t always fit into conventional frameworks.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Sarah Shin’s journey founding Silver Press and building a feminist publishing house
• How poetry, myth, and symbolic language expand the way we understand reality
• Writing as an intuitive practice and a tool for exploring imagination
• The relationship between creativity, grief, and ancestral memory
• How inherited histories and ancestral stories influence the present
• The role of dreams, archetypes, and imagination in creative practice

Writing as Inquiry: Creativity, Myth, and Language with Sarah Shin

What does it mean to follow creativity as a path of inquiry?

Many of us feel the pull to explore ideas that don’t fit neatly into one category — creativity, intuition, philosophy, spirituality, scholarship. You might wonder: Is it possible to treat creativity not just as expression, but as a way of understanding the world?

The truth is, many artists, writers, and thinkers are already doing exactly that. Creative practice can become a way of asking deeper questions about reality, memory, and meaning.

In this episode of Moonbeaming, Sarah sits down with writer, curator, and founder of Silver Press, Sarah Shin, to explore how poetry, myth, and symbolic language can open new ways of knowing.

If you enjoy these conversations about creativity, intuition, and imagination, make sure you’re subscribed to the Moon Beaming newsletter for new episodes, reflections, and resources.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Sarah Shin’s journey founding Silver Press and building a feminist publishing house
• What it means to be a “serial collaborator” and why creative work thrives in relationship
• How poetry, myth, and symbolic language expand the way we understand reality
• Writing as an intuitive practice and a tool for exploring imagination
• The relationship between creativity, grief, and ancestral memory
• How inherited histories and ancestral stories influence the present
• The role of dreams, archetypes, and imagination in creative practice
• Why meaning emerges through the encounter between a work and its reader
• How myth and poetry help us sense what rational language cannot fully explain
• The possibilities that open when creativity, spirituality, and intellectual inquiry meet

At its heart, this conversation reminds us that language is not just a tool for describing reality — it’s also a way of shaping it.

How do you tell the difference between intuition, fear, and the voices of your past?

Many of us want to trust our intuition — but it’s rarely that simple. Old patterns, trauma responses, people-pleasing, anxiety, and our nervous system can all speak loudly inside us. When those voices mix together, it can feel confusing to know what’s actually intuition and what’s something else entirely.

If you’ve ever looked back at a decision and thought “I should have known better,” you’re not alone. Learning to trust your intuition isn’t about always making the “right” choice, it’s about building a relationship with yourself over time.

In this episode of Moonbeaming, Sarah answers thoughtful questions from the Moon Studio community about intuition, discernment, trauma responses, and the deeper work of learning how to listen to yourself with compassion.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Why hindsight can make past decisions look like “mistakes”
• The difference between intuition and patterns like fear or people-pleasing
• Why we sometimes override our intuition — and what that reveals
• How Internal Family Systems (IFS) and parts work relate to intuition
• The role of protector parts, inner children, and nervous system responses
• Navigating intuition when you live with CPTSD or trauma patterns
• Building nervous system capacity to follow intuitive guidance
• How to stay connected to intuition during burnout, grief, or despair
• Using intuition to find support instead of forcing clarity
• Why some dreams we chase may not actually be ours
• How learning from experience turns “mistakes” into discernment
• The deeper question behind intuition: who you want to become

Because in the end, intuition isn’t about perfection, it’s about learning how to listen to yourself.

What happens when intuition leads you all the way to the edge of science?

In this episode, Sarah closes out the Intuition Series with a powerful conversation that lives at the intersection of neuroscience and the unexplainable. She sits down with cognitive neuroscientist and author Mona Sobhani, PhD, to explore what unfolds when a traditionally trained skeptic begins to question the very foundations of a materialist worldview.

After a series of personal experiences she couldn’t easily dismiss — coffee ground readings that came true, psychic encounters, and precognitive dreams — Mona did what scientists are trained to do: she investigated. What began as curiosity turned into years of research into psychic phenomena, reincarnation studies, quantum physics, altered states of consciousness, and competing models of reality.

Together, Sarah and Mona explore the possibility that science and spirituality were never meant to be separate — and that the “unexplainable” may simply be what we haven’t yet learned how to measure.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Mona’s journey from skeptical neuroscientist to open-minded investigator of spiritual phenomena
• The existential turning points that cracked open deeper questions about fate, free will, and meaning
• Scientific research on psychic phenomena
• Quantum physics, non-locality, and the observer effect
• How time, space, and determinism may not work the way we think
• Altered states, meditation, sound, light, and brainwave entrainment
• Precognitive dreams and intuitive information arising in non-ordinary states
• Competing models of reality: materialism, panpsychism, idealism, dualism
• The “trickster” element of consciousness and the limits of measurement
• What it would take for science and spirituality to truly collaborate

When Science Meets The Supernatural

What happens when your scientific training tells you the universe is random and meaningless — but your lived experience says otherwise?

If you’ve ever felt torn between skepticism and spirituality, between logic and intuition, you’re not alone. Many of us were taught that to be intelligent means to dismiss the mystical. So when something unexplainable happens, it can feel disorienting — even destabilizing.

In this episode of Moon Beaming, I sit down with cognitive neuroscientist and author Mona Sobhani, PhD, to explore what unfolds when a rigorously trained skeptic begins questioning the very assumptions she was taught to defend.

After personal experiences she couldn’t ignore — psychic readings that proved accurate, existential crisis, and precognitive dreams — Mona followed her curiosity into research on consciousness, quantum physics, and spiritual phenomena. This conversation offers clarity not by choosing sides, but by widening the lens.

If you’re drawn to conversations at the edge of science and mysticism, make sure you’re subscribed to the Moonbeaming newsletter for deeper reflections, tools, and upcoming events.

In this episode, we explore:

• Mona’s journey from skeptic to investigator of spiritual phenomena
• Scientific research on psychic experiences
• Quantum physics, non-locality, and the observer effect
• The brain as receiver vs. creator of consciousness
• Altered states and mystical experience
• Competing models of reality — materialism, panpsychism, and beyond

Reality may be far stranger — and far more alive — than we’ve been taught to believe.

What if the reason intuition advice has never worked for you is because it wasn’t designed for your brain?

In this episode, Sarah explores the powerful intersection of intuition and neurodivergence — and why so much mainstream spiritual guidance can feel confusing, inaccessible, or even shaming for people with different nervous systems.

Sarah also shares more about her Intuition Series (Secret Studies), a grounded, trauma-aware, neurodivergence-inclusive approach to developing intuitive skills in a way that feels safe, sustainable, and empowering.

In this episode you’ll hear:

• The difference between top-down and bottom-up processing
• Why many neurodivergent people experience delayed processing
• How intuition can show up as anger, intensity, or expansion — not just peace
• The myth that you must act on intuition immediately
• Why protector parts can override intuitive hits
• Capacity, impulsivity, dopamine, and energy miscalculation (especially for ADHD folks)
• How to take more time and build trust with yourself

Take a breath. Slow down. Your intuition doesn’t need to look like anyone else’s to be real.

If Intuition Advice Has Never Worked for You & You Are Neurodivergent, Read This

What if the reason intuition advice has never worked for you is because it wasn’t designed for your brain?

Maybe you’ve tried to “just listen to your inner voice,” but you don’t hear one. There is nothing wrong with you.

Most mainstream intuition advice is built for linear, top-down processors. It rarely accounts for the way neurodivergence shapes perception, processing, timing, energy, or pattern recognition.

In this episode of Moonbeaming, (link) I explore intuition through the lens of neurodivergence and nervous system awareness — and why cookie-cutter spiritual advice often misses the people who need nuance the most.

This episode we explore:

• The difference between top-down and bottom-up processing
• Why many neurodivergent people experience delayed processing
• How intuition can show up as anger, intensity, or expansion — not just peace
• The myth that you must act on intuition immediately
• Why protector parts can override intuitive hits
• Capacity, impulsivity, dopamine, and energy miscalculation (especially for ADHD folks)
• How to take more time and build trust with yourself

If this resonates, this is also the final call to join Secret Studies: The Intuition Series. (link)

This is my grounded, somatics-informed, depth-psychology-rooted container for developing intuitive skill in a way that feels safe and sustainable.

And remember, there is literally nothing wrong with you. Your intuition isn’t broken — it’s just not linear.

If you can put in a button to the course, do so here.

Secret Studies: Intuition is a foundational, somatic, trauma-informed approach to learning how to trust and collaborate with your intuition. This course blends energetics, creativity, depth psychology, and the psychic arts to help you reclaim your inner knowing.

What if intuition isn’t one clear voice — but a holographic field of many different kinds of knowing?

In today’s episode, Sarah explores the premise that intuition is not a single sensation or moment of certainty, but a spectrum — fluid, multi-channeled, and deeply alive.

Sarah breaks down two primary forms of intuition: the kind that arrives as calm clarity and recognition, and the kind that shows up as a pull, a compulsion, or an invitation into the unknown. She shares why the second form is often mistaken for anxiety, and how learning to trust uncertainty can be one of the most powerful ways we grow.

This episode is a reframe for anyone who has ever wondered if they’re “doing intuition wrong,” and a reminder that inner knowing doesn’t always lead to comfort — it often leads to expansion, healing, and becoming more fully yourself.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Why intuition is holographic and comes through many channels
• The difference between certainty intuition and the intuitive pull
• How anxiety can arise in response to uncertainty
• Intuition as a healing GPS and an invitation into growth
• Why intuition doesn’t always lead to ease or comfort
• How trust is built through the unknown
• Learning the unique language of your own inner knowing

--- 

Intuition Isn’t Certainty — It’s a Spectrum

What if intuition isn’t a single clear signal? What if the moments that feel foggy, destabilizing, or even anxiety-producing aren’t signs that you’re disconnected… but signs that something meaningful is unfolding?

If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re “doing intuition wrong,” you’re not alone. Many of us have been taught that intuition should feel calm, certain, and reassuring — and when it doesn’t, we assume we’ve failed or misread the signal.

In this episode of Moonbeaming, Sarah offers a powerful reframe: intuition is holographic. It’s a spectrum. It comes through many channels, shapes, and sensations — and not all of them are comfortable.

If this episode resonates, it’s part of a larger Intuition Series leading into Secret Studies: Intuition — Sarah’s foundational course on learning the unique language of your own inner knowing.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why intuition is holographic and moves through many channels
• The difference between certainty-based intuition and the intuitive pull
• How anxiety often arises in response to uncertainty — not intuition itself
• Intuition as a healing GPS rather than a guarantee of comfort
• Why intuition often leads to growth, not ease
• How trust is built by moving through the unknown
• Learning the unique language of your intuition, rather than copying someone else’s

Intuition isn’t here to give you perfect answers or a neatly wrapped outcome. It’s here to move the plot forward — to expand your capacity, deepen your trust, and guide you toward a more honest version of yourself.

Secret Studies: Intuition is a foundational, somatic, trauma-informed approach to learning how to trust and collaborate with your intuition. This course blends energetics, creativity, depth psychology, and the psychic arts to help you reclaim your inner knowing.

What if intuition isn’t mystical — but practical, trainable, and actionable?

Today, Sarah welcomes best-selling author and world-renowned intuitive, Laura Day, to the podcast. Sarah and Laura explore intuition as a grounded, practical tool — one that can be strengthened through reality-testing, self-awareness, and actionable guidance rather than fear or overwhelm.

In this rich conversation, Laura shares her origin story of discovering her intuitive abilities through scientific research, and how neurodivergence shaped her relationship to perception and inner knowing. Together, Sarah and Laura discuss how intuition can support us through crisis, help us recognize patterns, and guide us toward more adaptive choices in everyday life.

This episode is an invitation to approach intuition with clarity, rigor, and agency — not as something to outsource your power to, but as a skill you can cultivate in service of a more grounded and meaningful life.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• How to tell the difference between anxiety and intuition
• Neurodivergence as a secret weapon for intuitive awareness
• Why intuition should be actionable and grounded
• Crisis response types and how we react under stress
• Free will, fate, and the patterns we repeat — or transform
• Practical frameworks for strengthening inner knowing

What If Intuition Isn’t Mystical — But Practical?

Many people think intuition is something rare, mystical, or reserved for a gifted few. Something that arrives fully formed, calm, and certain — or not at all. But what happens when intuition feels messy or urgent? When it’s hard to tell whether you’re sensing something real or just feeling afraid?

In this episode of Moonbeaming, Sarah sits down with best-selling author and renowned intuitive Laura Day to explore intuition as a grounded, practical skill — one that can be trained, tested, and used in real life rather than idealized or outsourced to fate.

This conversation offers a reframing of intuition not as something to romanticize, but something to work with — especially in moments of stress, crisis, or uncertainty.

If this episode resonates, you may enjoy our intuition course, Secret Studies: Intuition, where we explore how to strengthen inner knowing through structure, discernment, and practice.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How to tell the difference between anxiety and intuition
• Why intuition should be actionable and grounded
• How neurodivergence can sharpen intuitive awareness
• Crisis response types and how we react under pressure
• How patterns repeat — and how intuition helps us interrupt them
• Practical frameworks for strengthening inner knowing

Intuition isn’t about prediction or perfection. It’s about pattern recognition, responsiveness, and choice.

When intuition becomes practical, it stops being something you wait for — and becomes something you use.

Secret Studies: Intuition is a foundational, somatic, trauma-informed approach to learning how to trust and collaborate with your intuition. This course blends energetics, creativity, depth psychology, and the psychic arts to help you reclaim your inner knowing.

What do you do when the inner voice that once guided you suddenly goes quiet?

In today’s episode, Sarah explores what it feels like when you’ve lost your intuition. Drawing from her own personal experiences, Sarah reminds us that intuition never truly disappears. Instead, it can become buried under stress, fear, overwhelm, or the sheer effort of getting through the day.

This episode is an invitation to soften, to come back to your body, and to remember that your intuition is not a performance or a lightning bolt — it’s a relationship. Sarah shares grounded reflections on why intuition can feel inaccessible during certain seasons of life, how nervous system health is deeply tied to inner knowing, and what it looks like to rebuild trust with yourself step by step.

If you’ve been feeling cut off, unsure, or disconnected from your own guidance, this conversation offers reassurance, tools, and a path back home.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Why intuition often feels quiet in survival mode
• The connection between nervous system regulation and inner knowing
• How burnout, illness, anxiety, and overwhelm can cloud intuition
• Why “no signal” doesn’t mean you’re broken
• How intuition returns through patience, devotion, and embodied trust
• Small ways to begin listening again, right where you are

Secret Studies: Intuition is a foundational, somatic, trauma-informed approach to learning how to trust and collaborate with your intuition. This course blends energetics, creativity, depth psychology, and the psychic arts to help you reclaim your inner knowing.

Do you feel like you’ve lost touch with your intuition? In the first episode of our Intuition Series, Sarah explores why intuition is not a luxury, a spiritual add-on, or a personality trait — but a necessary survival skill for our tumultuous times.

As information overload exhausts our nervous systems, intuition becomes the inner compass we can no longer afford to ignore. Sarah shares how trusting her intuition has shaped her life, work, relationships, and creative practice, and why reclaiming intuition is essential in an age of distraction.

This episode weaves together somatics, neuroscience, spirituality, and lived experience to examine how intuition actually works and how learning to listen again can restore clarity, energy, self-trust, and purpose.

You’ll hear:

• What intuition really is (and what it’s not)
• Why intuition matters more than ever right now
• How information overload disrupts intuition and decision-making
• The role of the nervous system in intuitive knowing
• The danger of outsourcing intuition to trends, technology, or spiritual tools
• Why not knowing can be a powerful form of intuition

What if personal responsibility is the gateway to healing, not shame?

In this week’s episode of Moonbeaming, Sarah explores the Magician as both the card of the year and a foundational archetype for conscious creation, healing, and reinvention.

This episode weaves together tarot, trauma-informed psychology, nervous system awareness, and spiritual practice to examine how we unknowingly outsource our power through rumination, self-blame, and unresolved relational dynamics — and how we can begin to call that energy back.

This episode is an invitation to come back to yourself and to begin again from a place of conscious choice.

You’ll hear:

• Why personal accountability is essential for spiritual growth
• How rumination, shock, and unresolved trauma drain our life force
• Why reclaiming your energy is a core act of healing
• How the Magician archetype relates to consciousness, agency, and self-trust
• Why creativity, pleasure, and whimsy are valid motivations for change
• How reinvention becomes possible when you stop outsourcing your worth

What if this year isn’t about moving faster, but about moving with intention?

In this weeks episode of Moonbeaming, Sarah offers a preview of what will be explored in the Moon Studio ‘Year Ahead’ workshop series beginning this Saturday, January 10th.

Rather than predictions or pressure to act quickly, Sarah invites a different approach to the new year — one rooted in pacing, attention, and personal agency. She reflects on urgency culture, nervous system capacity, and the difference between insight and integration, while introducing the Magician as a guiding archetype for the year ahead and a symbol of reclaimed inner authority.

You’ll hear:

• Why urgency culture can push us into survival mode and how to recognize when it’s time to recalibrate
• Why pacing, rest, and integration matter more than forcing momentum at the start of the year
• How slowing down and doing less can create more clarity, capacity, and alignment
• What it means to be in right relationship with time
• How the Magician archetype speaks to agency, self-trust, and inner authority
• Why tools and frameworks work best when they support intuition rather than replace it

What happens when you honor what you’ve lived before moving into 2026?

In this reflective solo episode of Moonbeaming, Sarah offers a honest year-in-review and an invitation to plan the year ahead intuitively.

After a year marked by collective upheaval, personal reckonings, and prolonged survival mode, Sarah explores what it means to ‘compost the past’ rather than rush into forced renewal.

Drawing on tarot archetypes, nervous system awareness, and lived experience, this episode is about clearing the brambles, reclaiming agency, and beginning again from a place of truth.

You’ll hear:

• Why survival mode can become a baseline — and how to recognize when it’s time to recalibrate
• Why January and February are often for reflection, rest, and composting — not forcing momentum
• Why slowing down, scaling back, and doing less can paradoxically lead to more alignment and growth
• How archetypes like the Hermit, the Nine, and the Chariot shaped 2025’s collective and personal themes
• What it looks like to plan the year ahead from integrity instead of pressure or performance

In this episode, Sarah sits down with Many Moons 2026 contributor and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner Madison Abdallah for a conversation about the nervous system patterns that quietly shape how we create, express, and move through the world. Drawing from years of somatic trauma resolution work, Madison offers a grounded, compassionate framework for returning to flow.

You’ll hear:

• Why overwhelm and shutdown are often signs of a nervous system trying to keep us safe
• Why shame is one of the most powerful (and misunderstood) blocks to creative expression
• How “slowing down to speed up” rewires capacity, energy, and self-trust
• What functional freeze looks like and how to (gently) move out of it
• Why many people mistake ADHD for freeze states rooted in trauma
• How to build secure attachment with yourself so creativity, visibility, and expression feel possible again
• The surprising role of healthy aggression, anger, and embodied aliveness in reclaiming creativity
• How one small action can reorganize your entire internal landscape
• Why Many Moons includes somatic practices, and why that is so important in terms of manifestation and creation

More on Madison: 

Madison Abdallah has been a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and creative coach for over a decade, translating nervous system trauma-resolution with a radical & relatable modern approach. Follow her at @radiantsomatics or learn more at www.radiantsomatics.com

What if the turning points you didn’t choose are the ones that shape you the most?

In this episode, Sarah sits down with seer, spiritual guide, initiated medicine woman, and counseling psychologist Dra. Rocio Rosales Meza for a deeply grounding conversation about personal transformation. Drawing from her Indigenous earth medicine lineage, lived experience, and work guiding sensitive practitioners and healers, Dra. Rocio illuminates what becomes possible when we stop forcing and start listening to the wisdom moving through our lives.

You’ll hear:

• Why collapse, burnout, and “tower moments” often signal spiritual redirection rather than failure
• What soul loss is, how it happens, and why calling back our souls is essential in times of collective trauma
• How grief, exhaustion, and uncertainty can become portals back to connection
• Why so many creatives, healers, and educators are rethinking how they work and live
• How to parent, partner, and build community in ways that break from dominance and extraction
• Why being emotionally and spiritually resourced matters now more than ever

More on Dra. Rocio Rosales Meza:

Doctora Rocio stands at the intersection of ancestral Earth wisdom and medicine to navigate these times while planting seeds for a liberated future.

She is a Mother, a Seer, a medicine woman in the Q'ero Inca lineage, and Counseling Psychology Ph.D. mentored by Black & Latin@ psychologists, matriarchs, and Indigenous medicine people.

For 25 years, she has guided people to unlearn the oppressive programming of our modern society so that we can reclaim our wholeness, our wellness, and do our part to birth a better world. 

Her work bridges worlds - helping you decolonize your mind to liberate your spirit while honoring both ancient traditions and the unique challenges of our times.

She does not teach from theory—she teaches from lived experience, from wounds turned to wisdom, from her deep partnership with her ancestors, and from the channel she has been entrusted with in service of realizing the prophecy of a new ancient paradigm. 

The 25 years of healership and teaching experience she carries, along with thousands of hours of therapy experience, and walking an Indigenous Earth Medicine path uniquely equip her to serve as a guide for our collective healing.

What if the way you choose to close the year is the most powerful magic you can bring into 2026?

In this episode, Sarah deepens the reflections from last week and brings us into a look at what this year has asked of us. Drawing from the Hermit Year workshop channelings and her own lived experience of 2025, Sarah explores what it means to arrive at the end of a 9 year… the limits we hit, the identities we shed, the values that shifted, the intuition that recalibrated, and the quiet, everyday practices that actually carry us across a threshold.

You’ll hear:

• Why exhaustion, grief, and “bone tiredness” were built into the architecture of 2025
• How limits act as teachers
• What it means when old patterns flare up right before they dissolve
• How intuition is changing collectively and personally
• The power of returning to the deeper Self you’ve drifted from
• The “Secret Third Thing” as an alternative to all-or-nothing thinking
• Why discernment, devotion, and simplification are essential as we close out the year
• How to prepare internally for the Magician energy of 2026 without forcing decisions or rushing clarity

How can we move forward with purpose as one year ends and the next begins?

In this episode, Sarah offers a clear and grounded look at the themes, archetypes, and lessons of 2025 — and how they can support us as we step into 2026. Drawing from the channelings and teachings of Many Moons, she explores the invitations of a 9 year, the Hermit archetype, and what it really means to move through endings, integration, and maturation.

This episode is a supportive guide for anyone who has felt the weight of this year, senses change coming, or wants to enter 2026 with steadier foundations and renewed trust in themselves.

You’ll hear:

• Why 2025 has felt like a year of endings and what “endings” actually mean in spiritual and practical terms
• The deeper lessons of Hermit energy: solitude, truth, inner guidance, and the courage to see clearly
• How to recognize what wants to be completed, composted, or transformed before stepping into 2026
• What extinction bursts are and why old patterns feel louder right before they dissolve
• How shame, scarcity, and separation show up as root-level blocks to change
• Why your routines and self-beliefs need updating before your next chapter
• How to cultivate focus, clarity, and devotion as guiding energies for the year ahead
• Why moving into 2026 requires spaciousness, self-trust, and the willingness to move differently

This is a deeply validating episode for anyone who has felt misunderstood within their family.

You’ll hear:

• How family systems shape our sense of identity, safety, and possibility

In this episode, Sarah talks with filmmaker and musician Alicia J. Rose about what really happens during perimenopause and menopause, why so many people struggle to get answers, and how knowledge can change everything.

Alicia shares her personal story of realizing her symptoms were hormonal, learning to advocate for herself, and finding healing through hormone therapy (HRT). Her experience inspired her new project, Meno Punks — a documentary and podcast series about midlife, music, and the power of telling the truth about women’s health.

Together, Sarah and Alicia break down the misinformation surrounding menopause and talk honestly about how culture, medicine, and patriarchy have shaped what we believe about aging and womanhood.

You’ll hear:

• What perimenopause and menopause actually are and how to recognize the signs
• Why so many people are misdiagnosed or dismissed when they seek help
• The truth about hormone therapy (HRT) and why it was unfairly labeled unsafe
• How menopause affects creativity, mood, energy, and relationships
• Why Gen X women are leading a new, more honest conversation about midlife
• Practical steps to get informed, find the right care, and support others going through it

This episode is for anyone who wants to better understand menopause—whether you’re in it, approaching it, or supporting someone who is.

August 10th: Integrating the Gifts of Your Spirit: An Archetypal Deep Dive and Regression with Sarah Faith Gottesdiener

In this episode of Moonbeaming, Sarah Faith Gottesdiener is joined by artist, activist, and mystic Samantha Roddick to explore the sacred nature of sex, eroticism, and embodiment—and how reconnecting to our life force can help us live more fully, more freely, and more in alignment with our true values.

Together, Sarah and Sam dive into the archetype of the Nine of Pentacles, examining how real abundance is built through intimacy, integrity, and interdependence. Sam shares her path from reshaping erotic culture through her London-based store Coco de Mer, to supporting Indigenous-led resistance movements in Brazil. Along the way, she reminds us that culture is a form of protection, and that pleasure (at its core) is a political and spiritual act.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why eroticism is a sacred expression of life force
• How pleasure, activism, and embodiment can coexist
• What it means to decolonize intimacy and reclaim your wildness
• How Indigenous wisdom offers a blueprint for the future
• The power of slowing down, listening, and remembering who you are

This is an invitation to reimagine success, reclaim your sensuality, and return to the sacredness of being alive.

Today we continue our mini series speaking with mental health professionals such as therapists, somatic educators, social workers, and other professional caregivers.

Please note: This episode contains examples of abuse.

About David Bedrick: David Bedrick, JD, Dipl. PW, is a teacher, counselor, and attorney. He grew up in family marked by violence. While his father’s brutality was physical and verbal, his mother’s denial and gaslighting had its own covert power. This formative context introduced David early to the etiology of shame and instilled an urge to unshame.

Professionally, he was on the faculty for the University of Phoenix and the Process Work Institute in the U.S. and Poland and is the founder of the Santa Fe Institute for Shame-based Studies where he trains therapists, coaches and healers and offers workshops for individuals to further their own personal development. Thousands of students have studied with David in addition to his 30 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and groups.

David writes for Psychology Today and is the author of three books: Talking Back to Dr. Phil: Alternatives to Mainstream Psychology and Revisioning Activism: Bringing Depth, Dialogue, and Diversity to Individual and Social Change. His new book is You Can’t Judge a Body by Its Cover: 17 Women’s Stories of Hunger, Body Shame and Redemption.

His upcoming book, The Unshaming Way, will be published by North Atlantic books in 2024.

Guest bio: Aidan Wachter is an eclectic animist, magician, and witch. His work focuses on magical approaches that produce real change in the practitioner and their reality. Wachter believes that magic is an inherent aspect of the human animal that, when missing or neglected, can lead to pathological states in the individual. These states then ripple out into human society and beyond it. It is his belief that magic can be a tool to re-frame what is possible for a person and, from that position, create better possible futures for all beings. He is the author of Six Ways: Approaches & Entries For Practical Magic, Weaving Fate: Hypersigils, Changing The Past, & Telling True Lies, and Changeling: A Book Of Qualities.
