Notes de l’épisode
This episode has been a long time coming for Sarah! If you’re great at getting things done for everyone else but struggle to let good things in for yourself, this episode is for you.
Sarah explains what over-functioning does to your ability to create and receive, and why you can’t white-knuckle your way into a bigger life.
Sarah also shows how a survival strategy built in childhood becomes your energetic baseline, and how to start shifting that baseline toward certainty, receptivity, and fun.
In this episode you’ll hear:
- Why this episode has been a year in the making
- Why Sarah prefers “create” to “manifest,” and what she means by it
- Why your manifestations might not be landing because you’re trying too hard
- Why the feeling of certainty is calm and relaxed, and the coffee-shop-order visualization for practicing it
- How to swap worry, double-checking, and email-refreshing for eroticism, whimsy, levity, and flirting
- Why co-creation with the universe isn’t a to-do list

This week, Sarah sits down with writer, curator, and editor Virginia Vigliar, a contributor to Many Moons 2027, for a conversation about curation as an act of care.
Virginia is redefining what it means to be a curator. She’s not a gatekeeper, instead, she arranges ideas, people, and voices into a constellation so something new can be created.
In this episode Sarah and Virginia explore what it takes to make people feel seen, trusted, and safe, and why rage may be one of our most underrated creative forces.
In this episode you’ll hear:
- Why curation is an act of care
- How Virginia thinks about her role as a translator
- Why intuition is something we have to protect and keep recentering
- The role of rigor and commitment in building trust with the people you collaborate with
- How to make people feel seen
- Why direct communication can save time, build safety, and make collaboration easier across cultures and generations
- How Virginia creates a container for her writing (a theme, a candle, a scent, a little research puzzle) and then waits for the idea to land
- Why the things we keep noticing may be the universe pointing us toward what we need to work on
- Why rage is a real creative force, and what Audre Lorde, bell hooks, and others have taught about channeling it in a healthy way

More on Virginia:
Virginia is a writer, curator, and editor. Her work explores creativity, inner knowledge, and storytelling as forms of resistance and re-enchantment in a fractured world, developing the concept of poetic antidotes — artistic and cultural gestures that defy oppression through radical imagination. Through essays, curation, and cultural programming, she amplifies small acts of beauty and courage that make new futures imaginable. She is the Chief Curator at Advaya, the founder of Antidotes (an ed tech production agency) and regularly consults with knowledge creators on how to bring their valuable work into the world.

This week, Sarah goes solo for the Halloween/Samhain episode to talk about personal magic, especially for anyone feeling disconnected from theirs.
Magic isn’t a skill you have to prove or a practice you have to do perfectly. It’s a relationship, and like any relationship, it can be neglected, forgotten, and rekindled.
Sarah shares what’s been helping her come back to herself this autumn, from tending her home to romancing herself to saying yes to a little fun.
In this episode you’ll hear:
- What personal magic really is: that spark, the razzle-dazzle, your connection to aliveness, the erotic, and your free will and choice
- Why magic is a relationship
- How children stay close to the spirit world, and the moments we learn to hide the parts of us that see and sense
- Why your magic is both universal and deeply individual
- Why you don’t have to be thriving or coherent to reach for spiritual practice
- The difference between the discomfort of growth and the depletion of forcing something that isn’t moving
- How romancing yourself (music, dancing, perfume before bed, baking cakes, hibiscus tea) can bring your spark back

This week, Sarah welcomes back writer, educator, death worker, astrologer, and Many Moons 2027 contributor Fariha Róisín to the podcast. Sarah recently took Fariha’s Grief Studies class, and the two go deep on what grief really is, why it’s tied to love, and how it can become a gateway to healing, accountability, and decolonization. From there, the conversation moves into energy work, magic, and Fariha’s devotion to Mary Magdalene, a thread that connects to the 2027 planner and the High Priestess year ahead.
Please take care of yourself! This conversation touches on childhood trauma, family harm, abuse, and the violence of the current moment, including Gaza. Feel free to skip ahead if you need to.
In this episode you’ll hear:
- How Grief Studies was born in 2024 out of collective grief, and why Fariha never planned to teach it more than once
- Why grief isn’t just sadness: its ties to love, trauma, and even the animal kingdom
- Why anger is so often mourning in disguise, and how seeing it that way gives us more room to hold it
- What it means to be the “emotional sponge” in your family system, and how many sensitive kids grow up to become facilitators, therapists, and artists
- How grief can be a bridge to decolonization, and why decolonizing starts with humility
- Why we need real spaces to be vulnerable, and the hidden cost of comfort, avoidance, and outsourcing every hard feeling to a therapist
- How to stay grounded in a spiritual world that can breed bypassing and ego
- How qigong and Reiki taught Fariha that energy is always available, and why she says to use our magic tools for revolution
- Fariha’s introduction to Mary Magdalene, the overlap between Magdalene and Mother Mary, the Black Madonnas, and what it means to become a Magdalene devotee

More on Fariha:
Born in Ontario, Canada, they were raised in Sydney, Australia, and are based in Los Angeles, California. As a Muslim queer Bangladeshi, they are interested in the margins, liminality, otherness, and the mercurial nature of being. Their work has pioneered a refreshing and renewed conversation about wellness, contemporary Islam, degrowth and queer identities and has appeared in Al Jazeera, The Guardian, Vice, Village Voice, and others.
Róisín has published a book of poetry entitled How To Cure A Ghost (Abrams), a journal called Being In Your Body (Abrams), and a novel named Like A Bird (Unnamed Press) which was named one of the Best Books of 2020 by NPR, Globe and Mail, Harper’s Bazaar, a must-read by Buzzfeed News and received a starred review by the Library Journal. Their first work of non-fiction Who Is Wellness For? An Examination of Wellness Culture and Who it Leaves Behind (HarperWave) was released in 2022, and their second book of poetry Survival Takes A Wild Imagination came out Fall of 2023.

Feeling stuck? In this solo episode, Sarah explains why the present is the future: everything you repeatedly think, say, do, and react to is already building tomorrow.
Drawing on the 40-day, 30% experiment, a few playful games, and stories from her own life, she shows you how to get unstuck at a pace your nervous system can handle.
Along the way, Sarah offers a few gentle reminders: don’t wait until you’re “healed” to begin, you become by doing, and you can believe in your own dreams just as easily as you believe in everyone else’s.
In this episode you’ll hear:
- Why “the present is the future,” and how pushing your desires into “later” keeps you stuck
- How repeating the same inputs and reactions creates the hamster wheel feeling, and why your reactions are where unconscious patterning becomes visible
- Why waiting to be “more healed” before you act has it backwards, and how you become the thing by doing different things
- Sarah’s story of going from a shut-in in her 20s to guiding courses with up to 150 people, and why she didn’t wait until she felt ready
- The 40-day, 30% experiment: you can’t change 100% at once, but you can shift 30% of your behavior, posture, breath, and especially your reactions
- How to make change a game, with five easy different choices you can make today, one room to redecorate, or 20 minutes of writing a day
- Why we give so much belief to other people’s dreams but not our own, and how to become your own “possibility model”
- Why a breakdown can become a breakthrough, and the question to ask your future self when you’re ready for hard mode
The future isn’t somewhere you arrive. It’s who you’re becoming right now.

But wait! 2026 isn't over. If you're interested in recalibrating your energy, refining your vision, and reconnecting with your inner magic before we head into 2027 consider revisiting the Our Year Ahead: Energies & Archetypes Class HERE
In the third and final episode of this series, Sarah shifts from the collective cards of 2026 to your personal card of the year. Using her own card, strength, as the example, she shows how to go beyond simply knowing your card and start working with it. Along the way, Sarah offers a few gentle reminders: don't perform the card, don't obsessively hunt for signs, and let life teach you what the cards mean.
Please take care of yourself! Sarah speaks candidly about a very hard personal season, including illness, heartbreak, and divorce. Feel free to skip ahead if you need to.
In this episode you'll hear:
- How to find your personal card of the year and look back at where its themes have already shown up in your life
- Why alter egos (hello, Sasha Fierce) can help you shift and grow
- Why you don't need to believe in tarot for archetypes to be useful, and how plants, animals, colors, and even a robin at your morning tea can carry archetypal medicine
- Why knowing your card isn't the same as working with it
- How to turn symbolism into behavior
- The minor arcana secret for when you're asking "what do I do?" and how the eights (wands, pentacles, swords, and cups) offer direction when the majors feel overwhelming
- Why the majors are what happens to us and the minors are what happens through us

In this first episode of a three-part series, Sarah explores the collective archetypes of 2026 through the lens of tarot: The Magician, The Wheel of Fortune, and The Sun.
Together, these archetypes offer a framework for understanding change, identity, timing, choice, and the ways we can consciously participate in shaping our lives.
Sarah dives into what it means to move through periods of uncertainty and why staying connected to your center can change the way you experience the wheel of life.
In this episode you’ll hear:
- Why this is a 1 year (the Magician), a 10 year (the Wheel of Fortune) and a Sun year, and what a tarot constellation is
- Why the Wheel of Fortune isn't a "good" or "bad" card, and how it shows up as a pivot point or a Groundhog Day loop
- Chronos time vs. Kairos time, and asking whether life is happening to you or through you
- Stepping into the center of the wheel instead of getting run over on its edge
- Why it's never too late to recenter, choose who you'll be, and start again and again

Notes de l’épisode
What if your fear of success is actually a fear of being seen?
Today, Sarah sits down with multidisciplinary artist and writer Maya Mackrandilal for an intuitive reading exploring the fear of visibility, the wound of being misunderstood, and the ancestral patterns that can keep us from fully expressing ourselves.
Through tarot, somatic practices, and compassionate inquiry, Sarah and Maya uncover what happens when we begin meeting our protective parts with curiosity instead of judgment.
On this episode of Moonbeaming you'll hear:
- Why the fear of success is often rooted in the fear of being truly seen
- How childhood experiences of being misunderstood can shape your creative life
- Why rejection can activate protective parts of ourselves and how to work with them compassionately
- How ancestral patterns can influence visibility, creativity, and self expression
- A gentle somatic practice for working with the parts of yourself that hold fear
- Why learning to truly see yourself is the first step toward allowing others to see you too
If you’re navigating a season of transformation, this conversation offers a powerful reminder that your greatest gifts often live beyond the fear that holds you back.

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.

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.
