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:

  • Why rejection feels so painful in the body and nervous system
  • How childhood wounds shape fear of visibility and expression
  • The connection between creativity, self-worth, and being seen
  • Why avoiding rejection is actually self-rejection
  • How perfectionism and over-editing disconnect you from your voice
  • What it means to build a “rejection practice”
  • How to stop letting fear control your creative life
  • The role of resilience, emotional alchemy, and nervous system healing in creativity
  • Why putting yourself out there is a spiritual practice
  • Remember! Rejection does NOT mean that you’re failing it is a sign that you’re finally participating in your life.
