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.

CARE (they/them)

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.

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:

Why creativity is not just output

How to stay connected to your creative identity during intense life seasons

The role of time, capacity, and emotional energy in creative practice

Why “not creating” is sometimes part of the creative cycle

How caregiving, parenting, and real life can expand your creativity

The connection between creativity, trust, and surrender

Why defining yourself as an artist is an internal practice

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.
