What does it really mean to feel connected to yourself and the world around you?

Today, Sarah sits down with CARE (they/them) an abolitionist somatic practitioner, educator, writer, and doula for a wide-ranging conversation on trauma, spirituality, intimacy, accountability, and the wisdom of the body.

Together, they explore what it means to practice abolition in our most intimate relationships, how trauma lives between us, and why healing cannot happen in isolation.

This episode is for anyone navigating conflict, longing for deeper connection, curious about somatics, or seeking new ways to think about healing, accountability, liberation, and embodiment.

On this episode of Moonbeaming you’ll hear:

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:

Remember! Rejection does NOT mean that you’re failing it is a sign that you’re finally participating in your life.

What happens to your creativity when life gets full?

In this deeply honest and expansive conversation, Sarah is joined by writer, artist, and creativity coach Catherine LaSota to explore what it actually means to live a creative life… especially when time, energy, and capacity are limited.

Together, they dive into creativity as a practice of trust, presence, and self-definition, and unpack the tension between who we think we “should” be as artists and who we actually are in our real lives.

On this episode of Moon Beaming, you’ll hear:

This episode is an invitation to redefine what it means to be creative, to honor the season you’re in, and to trust that your creativity is still alive… even when it looks different than you expected.

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.

Have you ever felt disconnected from your intuition, your guides, or your sense of self?

In this episode, we’re bringing back from the archives, Sarah revisits a powerful and deeply relevant conversation on navigating a spiritual crisis.

Whether sparked by personal upheaval, collective grief, or a slow inner collapse, spiritual crises can feel isolating and disorienting. But as Sarah reminds us, they are also part of being human and can become portals to deeper connection, clarity, and transformation.

In this episode, we explore:

What if your bloodwork say you’re “fine”… but your intuition is telling you something is “off”?

In this episode, Sarah is joined by licensed clinical scientist and author of Brains Like Ours: A Smart Girls Guide to Mood, Modern Life, and the Science Behind Mental Health Tyla Bee, who is on a mission to help people better understand their labs, their symptoms, and the powerful connection between intuition and data.

After experiencing rough mental health symptoms and discovering a critical vitamin deficiency that changed everything, Tyla transformed her personal journey into a framework for helping others take their health into their own hands.

In this conversation, Tyla breaks down why standard lab ranges can miss important imbalances, how chronic stress and nervous system overload show up in your bloodwork, and which key markers are often overlooked in conventional care.

You’ll learn:

What if astrology isn’t something you believe in—but something you practice?

In this episode of Moonbeaming, Sarah is joined by Dr. Michael J. Morris, a queer feminist astrologer, tarot reader, artist, and teacher, for an expansive conversation on astrology as a practice rather than a belief system.

Together, they explore relational and feminist astrology, conflict as a site of growth, and what it means to become who we are through what we practice.

We hope you’ll find this conversation to be a grounding and thought-provoking exploration of how astrology can support personal and collective transformation, not as something to believe in, but as something to live.

What if astrology isn’t something you believe in, but something you practice?

If you’ve ever felt confused about astrology you’re not alone. So many of us have been taught to approach spirituality through belief systems: Do you believe in this or not? And if you don’t, does that mean it has no value?

But what if that question is the wrong place to start?

In this episode of Moonbeaming, Sarah sits down with Dr. Michael J. Morris, queer feminist astrologer, writer, and teacher, to explore a radically different approach: astrology as a practice. Together, they unpack what becomes possible when we move away from belief and toward something we return to, live with, and grow through over time.

If you’ve been craving a more grounded, relational, and expansive way to engage with astrology (and with your life), this conversation offers both clarity and invitation.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

In the end, the question isn’t what you believe, it’s who you become through what you practice.

Writing as Inquiry: Creativity, Myth, and Language with Sarah Shin

What does it mean to follow creativity as a path of inquiry?

Many of us feel the pull to explore ideas that don’t fit neatly into one category — creativity, intuition, philosophy, spirituality, scholarship. You might wonder: Is it possible to treat creativity not just as expression, but as a way of understanding the world?

The truth is, many artists, writers, and thinkers are already doing exactly that. Creative practice can become a way of asking deeper questions about reality, memory, and meaning.

In this episode of Moonbeaming, Sarah sits down with writer, curator, and founder of Silver Press, Sarah Shin, to explore how poetry, myth, and symbolic language can open new ways of knowing.

If you enjoy these conversations about creativity, intuition, and imagination, make sure you’re subscribed to the Moon Beaming newsletter for new episodes, reflections, and resources.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

At its heart, this conversation reminds us that language is not just a tool for describing reality — it’s also a way of shaping it.
