TUNE YOUR FREQUENCY 29.06.2026

Each of us is a vibrational being and the frequency of the energy we are emitting is creating our reality. Sandra walks us step by step through how to recognize the signs that it's time to consciously tune your frequency. This is a fabulously simple lesson in how to "Yes, And… what IS" and choose to resonate with love, joy, curiosity, compassion, and gratitude regardless of our circumstances.  And...

CHOOSE YOUR BELIEFS 22.06.2026

This is a powerful and eye opening episode holding us accountable, and 100% response-able, for choosing the beliefs that we hold.  We are unlimited, except for the limitations that we choose to believe in. Everything we believe is something that we have decided to believe.  Join Sandra as she walks us through a step by step process for acknowledging and recognizing our current beliefs, and for tra...

YOU ARE CREATING EVERYTHING! 15.06.2026

In this episode, Sandra reminds us that our words focus the energy of creation. When we don't understand the creative power of our words, we can create things that we don't recognize or intend. We are practicing powerful magic every day in the words we think and say. We create ourselves, others, our circumstance, and our entire world with our words. We need to do it mindfully, listening before we...

MAGNIFICENT MOMENTS 08.06.2026

Every moment is a potentially magnificent moment, and Sandra reminds us that as conscious creators, it is entirely up to us to create magnificent moments in our life. Sandra gives us 5 specific steps, "The 5 P's", for consciously creating many magnificent moments in our performance here on The Great Stage Of Life.     And remember, the door is open! Sandra and the whole team here at Spontaneous Br...

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE BE! 02.06.2026

When most of us try to determine what we want to be, do, or have, we actually get it backwards.  We think: "When I have _______ then I will do _________ and that is what will allow me to be ______________ ."  Sandra walks us through a powerful, concise masterclass on how to recognize whether our beliefs, our identity, and our imaginings are based, as they should be, in a "be".  This is an invaluab...

OBSTACLES ARE SEEDS OF CREATION 25.05.2026

Sandra gives us gems and practical steps for creating the life of our dreams, as she takes us on a playful metaphorical journey through our relationship to the obstacles that show up in our life.  Obstacles are seeds of creation, that we can notice (or accept) and then choose how we respond (offer) into our lives.  When those seeds of creation show up in our lives, as obstacles, large and small, w...

THE THREE COMMANDMENTS 11.05.2026

Join Sandra for this deep exploration of the three essential truths that she calls "The Three Commandments". These three simple statements are the foundation for a successful "performance" on The Great Stage Of Life,  and when we combine these Three Commandments with all of the truisms from Sandra's Metaphorical Metaphysical Guide To Life, we have everything we need to be in alignment with our tru...

SPONTANEOUS BRILLIANCE RECAST #48: EVERYTHING IS ALRIGHT IN THE END 04.05.2026

Here at the Spontaneous Brilliance Recast, we are sending out a message you might have missed, or maybe one that it might be time to revisit!  In a recommendation by our podcast's Producer Michelle Oneida, we visit a lesson from her childhood brought straight to the podcast. In this episode, Sandra takes us on another exploration of a phrase that she has said to her daughters all their lives: "Eve...

HEALING OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH MONEY 27.04.2026

 This much requested episode is a straight forward primer on how each of us can have our own conscious, healthy relationship with money.  Join Sandra as she shows us how to recognize our presets, "find the love", and use the metaphorical metaphysical guide to help us heal our relationship with money.     And remember, the door is open! Sandra and the whole team here at Spontaneous Brilliance are h...

ACCEPTANCE VS. AWARENESS 20.04.2026

Based on the inspiration of this month being Autism Acceptance Month, formerly known as Autism Awareness Month, Sandra does a deep dive exploration of what acceptance truly means. Awareness simply means that you have noticed something, it does not mean that you have accepted it and accepted your response-ability in the process.  Join Sandra for this inspiring and enlightening journey into true 100...

PLAYING WELL WITH OTHERS 13.04.2026

Creating healthy thriving connection, community, and meaningful relationships in our lives is something that we all need.  It's essential that we realize that we are part of an ensemble on the Great Stage of Life. Yes, And… it is also important that we play the lead in the production of our own life. It is a balancing act. Sandra reminds us that in managing this balancing act we can utilize the pr...

Spontaneous Brilliance Recast #49: A NEURODIVERGENT RANT 06.04.2026

Here at the Spontaneous Brilliance Recast, we are sending out a message you might have missed, or maybe one that it might be time to revisit! This one is just in time for Autism Acceptance month, and is the favorite Michelle Oneida, our Podcast's producer and one of our many neurodivergent staff members. As a neurodivergent individual, this is Sandra's ranting rebellion against the concept that th...

THE CONSCIOUS STATUS GAME 30.03.2026

This is an eye-opening, perspective shifting episode in which Sandra teaches us how our understanding of the improv concept of "Status Transactions" is essential to becoming empowered, conscious creators. Our perception of our status in any given situation, circumstance, or relationship dictates what we deem to be acceptable in terms of the offers that we make, accept, or block. Our status habits,...

THE BAD C-WORDS 23.03.2026

Join Sandra to learn her list of the 6 Bad C-Words we use all the time! The Bad C-Words are a dangerous cluster of pervasive and misleading concepts that collectively drown out the power of individual unique creative genius. They lead to fear and judgement globally, in our communities, in our homes, and in ourselves. In this episode, Sandra shows us that if we can empower ourselves to recognize wh...

THE ANTIDOTE TO FEAR 16.03.2026

THE ANTIDOTE TO FEAR   Our geniuses may be unique, but our fears sure aren't! We fear that we are not good enough, that our idea is not good enough, or it's too late or somehow not possible for us to be, do, and share all that we feel called to be, do, and share. This episode is chock-full of specific tools we can use as antidotes to our fears. This is a step-by-step guide to embracing the obstacl...

IT'S A DUCKERTUNITY! 09.03.2026

 IT'S A DUCKERTUNITY!   Join us for this playful and powerful episode where Sandra reminds us just how much we can learn from the spontaneous opportunities that arrive in our lives. It is amazing how sneaky our habitual blocking is, moment by moment, offer by offer. We are unconsciously blocking so much more often than we realize. When we are attached to an outcome, attached to a plan, then we can...

SPARKING INSPIRATION 02.03.2026

This episode is a lesson in how to accept the sparks of inspiration in our lives as an offer. Inspiration is just a moment of spontaneous thought that can take us to the place where the impossible becomes possible, if we are willing to accept our response-ability, and if we offer in return. Sandra shows us how to engage in a life of what she calls "practiced wonder." Inspiration is literally the b...

ASKING FOR HELP 23.02.2026

ASKING FOR HELP   Theater, as life, is a collaborative artform, meaning we can't do our performance on the Great Stage of Life alone. If we pretend that we've "got this" when we don't? That's blocking. But when we acknowledge we are facing an obstacle we need help with and we ask for that help, it's the ultimate "Yes, and…!" Asking for help is an offer. You aren't failing if you need help. Allowin...

STOP WHY- ING! 16.02.2026

SEASON 2 EPISODE #16 STOP WHY- ING! When we ask "Why?" we are telling ourselves or others about something in our lives that we believe is not what it's supposed to be. But remember, as Sandra wrote in Spontaneous Brilliance, "There is no why." Why is a victim story of explaining, justifying, defending, or rationalizing. The vibration of why is a void where we pretend things are happening to us, ra...

Spontaneous Brilliance Recast #16: FINDING YOUR BLISS 09.02.2026

Here at the Spontaneous Brilliance Recast, we are sending out a message you might have missed, or maybe one that it might be time to revisit! Our second trip to the past is one of our team's favorites, as suggested by Lea Mae Berendez our managing director: EPISODE #16 "FINDING YOUR BLISS"   In this episode, Sandra takes accepting your role to the next level. Finding Your Bliss shows us that, in o...

Spontaneous Brilliance Recast #7: THE MAGIC OF OUR WORDS 02.02.2026

Here at the Spontaneous Brilliance Recast, we are sending out a message you might have missed, or maybe one that it might be time to revist! Our first trip to the past is one of our team's favorites, as suggested by Lea Mae Berendez our managing director: EPISODE #7 THE MAGIC OF OUR WORDS Your word is your wand, the most powerful tool you possess. And just like Mickey Mouse as the Sorcerer's Appre...

YOUR BELIEVABILITY THRESHOLD 26.01.2026

YOUR BELIEVABILITY THRESHOLD   Our habits of mind (which become our limiting beliefs) create a seemingly insurmountable threshold for what we think is possible. That is our believability threshold. When we don't believe it is possible, we don't take any action to bring it about. We "pre-block" the fire in our heart from having the opportunity to grow and flourish. In this episode, learn Sandra's 5...

BREAKING FREE OF THE UNCONSCIOUS LOOP 19.01.2026

BREAKING FREE OF THE UNCONSCIOUS LOOP   In this episode, Sandra shows us how to break our unconscious patterns of habitual blocking. With so many things in the world right now that leave us feeling out of control and overwhelmed, even those of us who believe we have 100% response-ability for everything in our lives can miss the ways that we are unconsciously abdicating our power. Sandra gives us v...

EVERYTHING IS COMING FROM YOU 11.01.2026

 EVERYTHING IS COMING FROM YOU   In this mega, meta, "yes, and…" episode, Sandra takes us on a "what if" journey into fully accepting that we are not only the player and the character in, but the playwright of this masterpiece we call our life. When we really do embrace that concept, it changes how we see our world. When we accept that, as the playwright, everything in our life is emanating from u...

HOW TO MEET WITH SUCCESS UNEXPECTED IN THE COMMON HOURS 02.01.2026

HOW TO MEET WITH SUCCESS UNEXPECTED IN THE COMMON HOURS   In this powerful episode, Sandra helps us realize and remember that, as conscious creators in this 24/7 improv on the Great Stage of Life, we are not waiting for some force outside us to deem us worthy of our desires and grant them. Wishing, wanting, and waiting all reflect a state of lack, a state of not having. But Sandra reminds us that...
