This was not the episode originally downloaded. This is not your typical episode. Sandra McFarland opens her heart, her mind, and puts her courage to the test.
Sandra will read two original pieces, one finished two days ago, one written two years ago. Both bring this moment perfectly together. What would YOU do if you woke up one morning afraid you "might" be Jesus?
Welcome back listeners. I am back; after an interesting yet powerful experience over the holkiday. Join me while I ramble coherantly about family, codependency, and so much more.
In this episode, Sandra McFarland (writer, poet, speaker, visionary, badass) is off the chain and without a script!
One would think that a podcast about yourself would be an easy topic to cover. However, not true when you are a GIANT overthinker, over planner, and recovering perfectionist. After the sixth draft was discarded, Sandra decided to just hit record and go.
Sandra describes some of the major highlights of her life that brought her to the here and now.
She discusses a bit more about her upgrade of consciousness and the struggle to accept ALL of the parts of herself. The Divine and the Disaster.
The Weirdest F$%ing Story Ever Told is exactly what it sounds like. A unique, bizarre, totally unbelievable, hysterical, spiritual and 100% true autobiographical podcast.
Sandra McFarland, author, poet, educator, activist, alcoholic, pothead, takes us through her journey from suicidal, depressed and drunk to the woman she is today, full of life, full of love and prepared to stand in front of the world and open up her entire life?
What would you do if you woke up different? I mean really REALLY different?
What if you suddenly could speak and understand a new language?
Or knew how to fix the transmission in your car?
Okay that was for practice…
What would you do if you woke up knowing you are a great world leader and spiritual teacher? But you still feel like a total loser?
What would you do with the world’s biggest imposter syndrome?
What would you do if you were terrified others will think you’re mentally ill, because, what you are about to say sounds absolutely delusional?
In TWFSET, Sandra takes you on a hysterical, thought provoking, controversial, and emotional journey that has been 10 years in the making.
Is she enlightened? Has she achieved her Buddha nature? Had she experienced a consciousness upgrade? Could she be “Jesus”?
Or has she had a psychotic break from reality? Did the depression, the panic attacks, highly dysfunctional family, vanishing husband, her career on the brink, and her own addiction issues just become too much? Is she suffering from delusions of grandeur?
So… which do YOU think it is?
No… really…She really wants to know…
Because SHE really isn’t sure, either.

It’s a little BIG BOOK
It’s a little GOOD BOOK
It’s a little DSM-5.

Class Dismissed – Podcast Introduction
Welcome to Class Dismissed.
I'm Sandra McFarland.
For more than thirty years, I was a teacher. I spent my days helping…
Not a classroom filled with grades, pressure, or expectations...
A classroom where curiosity matters more than certainty.
Where healing matters more than perfection.
Where every person is welcome exactly as they are.
So pour yourself a cup of coffee or tea, kick off your shoes, take a deep breath, and give yourself these next twenty minutes.
Each week we'll explore one practical idea that can help us live a little more awake, a little more connected, and a little more authentically ourselves.
We'll borrow wisdom from psychology, neuroscience, recovery, spirituality, world religions, and ordinary life—not to tell you what to believe, but to offer tools you can try for yourself.
Some weeks we'll laugh.
Some weeks we may cry.
Most weeks we'll probably do both.
Every episode includes a short reflection, a practical exercise you can use throughout your week, and a quiet moment to pause before heading back into the beautiful messiness of everyday life.
Whether you're questioning everything, healing from something, beginning again, or simply looking for a little more peace...
I'm really glad you're here.
This is a place where curiosity is encouraged, grace is plentiful, and there are no perfect students.
Only fellow travelers.
So take one more slow breath...
Set down whatever you've been carrying...
Class is officially dismissed.
Let's begin.
