KEEPING THE PROMISES WE MAKE TO OURSELVES.   As we move toward the new year, we celebrate this beautiful universal time of renewal, release, resetting, and intentioning. It's a collective time in which we celebrate and practice rituals to help us clear out that which doesn't serve us any longer and align with our desires and the infinite possibilities ahead. It's a time for letting go of the past...

HOW TO NOT GET DERAILED, NO MATTER WHAT   We know in all our Spontaneous Brilliance wisdom that the Universe NEVER BLOCKS! But how do we keep going, stay positive, and be conscious when it sure seems like the Universe is doing a really good imitation of blocking?! How do we "find the love" when we just aren't feeling it? In this episode, Sandra reminds us that it's all about falling back on our me...

JUST DO IT!    In this episode, Sandra takes us through an essential primer on how to truly live in our state of Spontaneous Brilliance.

THE PUPPY ATE MY PODCAST!   This week, an adorable, gigantic puppy became the teacher of the power, ease, and grace that results from accepting everything as an offer and embracing every obstacle.

 RESISTANCE IS NOT A STOP SIGN!   Increasing resistance is not a sign to give up; it's a sign that you are almost there!

STAYING ON TRACK AS CONSCIOUS CREATORS   Wow! In this opening episode of Season 2, Sandra gets right to it! She dives deep into how we can stay on track and maintain our focus as we consciously, purposefully, and intentionally create our life.

EPISODE #52 "WHAT ARE WE AFRAID OF?"   What makes us so uncomfortable about being 100% responsible for creating the life we are living? We all came here "on purpose," and yet most of us are afraid to take center stage in this life and recognize that we are playing the lead in a story of our own creation. In this inspirational episode, Sandra helps us to recognize that no matter how uncomfortable i...

EPISODE #51 How to "Yes, Thank You, And…" AI In this episode, Sandra reminds us to treat AI as an offer. AI cannot block our imagination or our creativity–only we can do that. We are reminded to go back to the essential practices from the Metaphorical Metaphysical Guide to Life. When we apply what we know about offering, accepting, not blocking, relationship/status interactions, gratitude, finding...

EPISODE #50  "REFOCUS, REFRAME, AND REMEMBER WHO YOU TRULY ARE"   When we focus our attention and the powerful tool of our imagination on what we don't want, what we don't have, or what isn't, then we end up swimming in perpetual state of blocking. We must fully embrace the love at the center of our being and what we desire in our heart of hearts as the roadmap to living the life of our dreams. In...

EPISODE #49 "A NEURODIVERGENT RANT"   As a neurodivergent individual, this is Sandra's ranting rebellion against the concept that there is a norm or a "normal" that we are all being compared to or measured against. This wild rant of an episode is inviting us to recognize, embrace, accept, respect, and celebrate our neurodivergence. We are all unique creative geniuses. We are all individuals. We ar...

EPISODE #48 "EVERYTHING IS ALRIGHT IN THE END"   In this episode, Sandra takes us on another exploration of a phrase that she has said to her daughters all their lives: "Everything is alright in the end. If it isn't alright, it isn't the end." This is a masterclass in approaching life as the playwright of our own story. Recognizing that we are not only playing this character, but we are writing th...

EPISODE #47 "GARBAGE IN, GARBAGE OUT" In this episode, Sandra explores the meaning and impact of a phrase she has said to her kids for decades: "Garbage in, garbage out." What is the value of what we are offering to our body, mind, and spirit? Our reality is our creation. We are generating, nurturing, and cultivating the reality in which we live. As Sandra says, "What we are imagining is the paint...

EPISODE #46 "TAKING CONSCIOUS RESPONSE-ABILITY FOR THE POWER OF OUR THOUGHTS"   Sandra talks a lot about how fast people think. Every thought, every imagining, every visualization (whether or not we are conscious of it) is creating our reality. Our response-ability is about choosing what we are going to imagine, visualize, focus on, and intend. Our imagination is a creative force, and whatever we...

EPISODE #45 COMMITTING TO OUR GENIUS   Each of us is a genius in some way, in our OWN way. Everyone is a unique creative genius and the operative word there is "unique." So, can we start saying "Yes, and…" to our genius? Remember that comparison and competition are the things that make us feel like we can't or shouldn't explore, expect, respect, and share our genius. We don't know what the impact...

EPISODE #44 "SHARING OUR ASSUMPTIONS"    This wisdom filled episode takes us into a deep exploration of how to recognize and shift the assumptions that we are making and unconsciously imposing on those around us. When we decide or assume how another player on the Great Stage of Life is feeling or thinking, it is attached to our presets, our fears, and our limiting beliefs. When we share our assump...

EPISODE #43 RECOGNIZING AND ALIGNING WITH OUR TRUTH    What is our authentic truth? How do we know if we are in alignment with our soulful self? How do we align with our truth?

In this episode, Sandra reminds us that our truth comes from within, not from without. Our soulful...

EPISODE #42  CONSCIOUSLY YES, AND-ING OUR UNCONSCIOUS TRAUMA RESPONSES    Our presets, our limiting beliefs, and our unconscious trauma responses show up as us blocking of ourselves or us blocking opportunities as our protective personality works hard to protect us from trauma. In this episode, Sandra helps us recognize how we block ourselves from showing up authentically when we default to Fight,...

EPISODE #39   "YES, BUT…"   In our metaphorical metaphysical guide to life that is Spontaneous Brilliance, we know that "Yes, and…" is a game of accepting and offering. It's a game that, when applied to the great stage of life, keeps us actively in the ping pong match of response-ability. We understand that the "and" is all important because that is where our offer lies. However, "Yes, and…" has a...

EPISODE #38   "INSPIRATION - COMMUNICATING WITH OUR SOULFUL SELF"   As Sandra has often said, "There is no shortage of brilliance on this planet, just a reluctance to offer it and a resistance to accepting it."  Well (as she points us to us), the "reluctance" and "resistance" is coming from us. We are on a journey of becoming conscious creators, but that means that we have to notice our inspiratio...
