    The Myth of Falling Behind: Inside The Studio

    This episode of Moonbeaming is proudly sponsored by Clear Channels, the Moon Studio’s upcoming newsletter and channeling course on May 30th and 31st. Learn more HERE Today we’re sharing a very special ‘minisode’ from the beloved Moon Studio ‘Secret Studies: Intuition’ course. Sarah recorded this episode after a common feeling began emerging among the group… the feeling of being “behind.” Behind on the material. Behind in life. Behind compared to who you thought you'd be by now. In this deeply compassionate teaching, Sarah explores what may actually be underneath that feeling and why growth often brings up discomfort. On this episode of Moonbeaming you'll hear: Why feeling "behind" may actually be a protective response The hidden relationship between shame and safety How we create fantasies about our future selves instead of taking action Why growth, healing, and intuition development are never linear How self-criticism can become a familiar nervous system pattern What grief has to do with personal transformation Why change often brings up resistance, fear, and doubt The difference between fantasizing about change and practicing it How to build trust in yourself through small, consistent actions Why you're probably doing better than you think This episode is for anyone who has ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, self-critical, or convinced they're falling behind in life.

    Why You Need a PhD in Rejection: The Creative’s Guide

    This episode of Moonbeaming is proudly sponsored by Clear Channels, the Moon Studio’s upcoming newsletter and channeling course on May 30th and 31st. Learn more HERE What would change if you stopped letting rejection control your life? In this fiery solo episode, Sarah explores why every creative person needs a PhD in rejection. Through stories from her own life and work, she unpacks the emotional, psychological, and spiritual dimensions of rejection — and why learning how to face it is essential if you want to fully express yourself. Together, we explore rejection as exposure therapy, creative initiation, and a practice of self-trust. Sarah shares how rejection wounds form, why visibility can feel terrifying to the nervous system, and how avoiding rejection often becomes a form of self-abandonment. On this episode of Moon Beaming, you’ll hear: Why rejection feels so painful in the body and nervous system How childhood wounds shape fear of visibility and expression The connection between creativity, self-worth, and being seen Why avoiding rejection is actually self-rejection How perfectionism and over-editing disconnect you from your voice What it means to build a “rejection practice” How to stop letting fear control your creative life The role of resilience, emotional alchemy, and nervous system healing in creativity Why putting yourself out there is a spiritual practice Remember! Rejection does NOT mean that you’re failing it is a sign that you’re finally participating in your life.

What if you didn’t have to have it all figured out to begin again? On this episode of Moonbeaming, Sarah sits down with poet, astrologer, and author Heidi Rose Robbins to explore what it means to move through change with more presence, creativity, and trust. Together, they reflect on what the Moon Studio is calling the “year of the pivot”—a time of reinvention, letting go, and becoming someone new, often without having a clear plan. They talk about how to navigate these moments without forcing clarity or perfection, and why the smallest steps can be the most powerful place to begin. Heidi shares how poetry, astrology, and daily practices like writing can become a tool to help us move through uncertainty with more compassion. The two also explore the role of repetition in creativity, the importance of showing up consistently (even imperfectly), and how structure can support us as we evolve. In this episode, you’ll hear: Why 2026 is a “year of the pivot” and what that actually means How to take the first step when you don’t feel ready Using poetry and writing as a tool for emotional alchemy Letting go of urgency and reconnecting to presence Why repetition—not perfection—is the key to creative work The power of daily practices (like Heidi’s “Moon Notes”) How astrology can be a tool for self-compassion and connection Learning to trust timing, cycles, and your own inner knowing This episode is an invitation to slow down, listen more deeply, and trust that something new may already be opening.
