What if your day job wasn’t the thing that defined your creativity—but the fuel for it?

In this solo episode, Sarah Faith Gottesdiener explores what it means to live as a creative when your 9–5, side hustle, or paycheck doesn’t match your artistry. From reframing the shame of “non-creative” work to building daily practices that keep your imagination alive, Sarah shares hard-earned wisdom from her own path before her creative and spiritual life became her livelihood.

You’ll hear:

• Why all work is inherently creative, and how to start seeing your life through an artistic lens
• The three most common mindset traps that keep people stuck and how to move past them
• Why consistency and micro-movements matter more than waiting for the “perfect” moment
• How nervous system safety and capacity play a crucial role in showing up creatively
• Stories of artists like Octavia Butler, William Carlos Williams, and Toni Morrison, who balanced day jobs with world-changing creative work

This is a motivating episode about reclaiming your identity as an artist or creative, no matter where your paycheck comes from, and finding joy in the small daily commitments that keep your creative life alive.

August 10th: Integrating the Gifts of Your Spirit: An Archetypal Deep Dive and Regression with Sarah Faith Gottesdiener

Can you think back to what your life was like between the summer of 2013 and the summer of 2014?

That was the last time Jupiter was in Cancer—and now, it’s back. In this episode, Sarah is joined by astrologer and teacher Jeff Hinshaw (Cosmic Cousins) for a deep dive into the big astrological transits shaping our inner and outer worlds in 2025 and beyond.

• Saturn in Aries: A call to define identity on your own terms, set new boundaries, and lead from a place of integrity and courage.
• Neptune in Aries: Spiritual risk, delusion, and what it means to follow your instincts while staying grounded in reality.
• Why conflict is coming to the surface—and how we can begin to heal and repair, both personally and collectively.

August 9th: Intuition For Right Now: Regain Trust, Build Confidence, and Heal Old Wounds

August 10th: Integrating the Gifts of Your Spirit: An Archetypal Deep Dive and Regression with Sarah Faith Gottesdiener

What would it look like to live a life guided by pleasure, rooted in connection, and in service to the Earth?

In this episode of Moonbeaming, Sarah Faith Gottesdiener is joined by artist, activist, and mystic Samantha Roddick to explore the sacred nature of sex, eroticism, and embodiment—and how reconnecting to our life force can help us live more fully, more freely, and more in alignment with our true values.

Together, Sarah and Sam dive into the archetype of the Nine of Pentacles, examining how real abundance is built through intimacy, integrity, and interdependence. Sam shares her path from reshaping erotic culture through her London-based store Coco de Mer, to supporting Indigenous-led resistance movements in Brazil. Along the way, she reminds us that culture is a form of protection, and that pleasure (at its core) is a political and spiritual act.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why eroticism is a sacred expression of life force
• How pleasure, activism, and embodiment can coexist
• What it means to decolonize intimacy and reclaim your wildness
• How Indigenous wisdom offers a blueprint for the future
• The power of slowing down, listening, and remembering who you are

This is an invitation to reimagine success, reclaim your sensuality, and return to the sacredness of being alive.

What if the reason you’re feeling “off” is because you’re carrying energy that doesn’t belong to you? 

What exactly are entities, and how do you know you have one? What can the darker side of spirituality—ghosts, hauntings, and demonic entities—teach us about the light?

On this week’s episode of Moonbeaming, host Sarah Faith Gottesdiener is joined by exorcist Kaitlyn Graña for a fascinating and illuminating conversation about spiritual hygiene, entity attachments, and the practice of energetic clearing. If you’ve been feeling energetically “off,” weighed down by emotions that don’t feel like yours, or overwhelmed by spiritual residue, this episode offers insight, validation, and actionable tools.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• What exorcism actually entails—and why it’s rarely what pop culture suggests
• How and why entities or energies attach to people and places
• The ways spiritual attachments often reflect our emotional and ancestral wounds
• Simple yet powerful practices to keep your energy field clear and protected
• Why receiving help with spiritual clearing is both normal and necessary
