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. In this episode, you'll hear: Why 2026 is a “year of the pivot” and what that actually means How to take the first step when you don't feel ready Using poetry and writing as a tool for emotional alchemy Letting go of urgency and reconnecting to presence Why repetition—not perfection—is the key to creative work The power of daily practices (like Heidi's “Moon Notes”) How astrology can be a tool for self-compassion and connection Learning to trust timing, cycles, and your own inner knowing This episode is an invitation to slow down, listen more deeply, and trust that something new may already be opening.

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 a spiritual crisis is The emotional weight of living through overwhelming or uncertain times Why hardship is not a reflection of failure or “doing something wrong” The “Three A's” for moving through crisis: Availability, Acknowledgement, and Adaptability The concept of the healing spiral and why growth isn't linear How to reconnect with intuition, even when it feels distant or inaccessible The importance of nature, small rituals, and grounded practices for support How to stay present with yourself through grief, anger, and uncertainty
In a world of misinformation and uncertainty, we're often tempted to think our way out of our problems. But what if more knowledge isn't the answer? In this episode, I talk with philosopher and author James K.A. Smith about his book Make Your Home in This Luminous Dark and why the pursuit of certainty can easily become an idol. We discuss his personal journey discovering the wisdom of silence, solitude, and surrender after a season of depression forced him to confront problems thinking alone couldn't solve. We explore the insights of the medieval mystics, what it means to let go of the need to win arguments, why our bodies matter in spiritual practice, and how discovering our belovedness reshapes the way we live and engage the world.James K. A. Smith is professor of philosophy at Calvin University and author of Make Your Home in this Luminous Dark: Mysticism, Art, and the Gift of Unknowing (Yale, March 2026). His popular writing has appeared in magazines such as Christianity Today, Christian Century, and the Los Angeles Review of Books, as well as the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and USA Today.

If you feel like you are falling behind in your spiritual awakening, you are not alone. Many people on the ascension path go through periods where it seems like everyone else is having experiences, making progress, or moving forward faster. In this episode, I talk about why this feeling happens during awakening and what it really means for your consciousness.Spiritual awakening and ascension do not unfold the same way for everyone. You may feel like you're doing something wrong. Understanding what is really happening during these phases can help you stay grounded as your awareness continues to expand.
A flock of birds joined our drum circle inside a sea cave on the Cornish coast. What they unlocked in ten minutes had taken one woman years to carry alone.In this seventh episode of The Soul's Eight Thresholds of Transformation, Nina Hirlaender OFS guides you through Samhain, the Celtic threshold of shadow — the sacred season when the soul stops moving forward and turns inward to meet its own unfinished stories. Through the extraordinary acoustics of Merlin's Cave at Tintagel and the contemplative wisdom of John of the Cross, Nina explores what becomes possible when you stop avoiding the dark and discover that shadow met with compassion becomes your deepest wisdom.What You'll Learn:The 5 unmistakable signs your soul is asking for the Samhain threshold — and why each one is an invitation, not a warningWhat happened when rock doves joined our drumming circle in Merlin's Cave — and the reconciliation it unlocked for a woman carrying years of unfinished griefWhat John of the Cross actually meant by "the dark night of the soul" — and why it's far more hopeful than popular culture suggestsA five-minute embodied practice for meeting shadow with self-compassion instead of avoidance or dramaYour Next Steps:SOLD OUT!

The F.A.T.E. Podcast is back up with the Season 3 opener and host Christy Busby is finally giving a long overdue update on her own spiritual journey. Submerged in yet another dark night of the soul, she voraciously consumed all things spiritual which became an uncompromising investigation into consciousness, power, and the nature of reality itself.Every rabbit hole she went down has been realigning her thoughts, the structure of belief her system, and the mechanics of perception. Questioning everything, she started asking what I could verify within myself, using my own discernment and letting intuition and heart lead the whole way.This all culminated in a magical night on the first night of the winter solstice in December 2025. It was an evening led by intuition, divine guidance, and it shifted my mind and body in a way that I cannot understand and have no logical explanation for. I'll tell you my story. It will be up to your own discernment to decide if it's true. This season 3 of the F.A.T.E. podcast will awaken you to your true self. If you're ready to ask deeper questions, live consciously, and discover who you are.

We have reached a stage of ascension where long-held beliefs, trusted structures, and familiar narratives are being questioned. As old systems begin to fall away, what once felt stable can suddenly feel uncertain or exposed.This collective phase can resemble a dark night of the soul, where foundations shift and reality itself seems to wobble. Join me as I share what is unfolding now, and explain the transformation within human consciousness.
In this episode I'm back in the Trichocereus tent to show the progress on the TBM + the seedlings! There was a bit of sunburn and dehydration that occured when I got the flu a couple of weeks ago, and we're still in the process of healing that this week. I also go on the first hike of 2026 and discuss some of the philosophical ideas that have been floating around in my consciousness. Particularly the Jungian concept of the Dark Night Of The Soul. I first learned of this concept reading PIHKAL by Alexander Shulgin. If you haven't read this, erowid has a copy online of part 2 of the book. The full audio book is on Amazon and Apple Books if I remember correctly. I hope you all have a good day whenever and wherever you happen to watch this.Support the show
Send us a textWhy do we start doubting ourselves spiritually the moment life gets hard?So many people on a spiritual path are told that alignment should feel peaceful, flowing, and easy. But when pain, loss, confusion, or uncertainty shows up, it often leads to one quiet question: “Am I doing this wrong?”In this episode, we get real about why spiritual doubt happens during hard seasons — and why struggle is not a sign of failure, disconnection, or misalignment. We talk about the difference between initiation vs punishment, why real growth requires dismantling old identities, and how healing often stirs things up instead of smoothing them over.This is a grounded, honest conversation about spirituality beyond aesthetics and platitudes — one that makes space for grief, confusion, faith, intuition, and the human experience.If you've ever questioned your intuition, your faith, or your connection to God or Spirit because life didn't turn out the way you expected, this episode is for you.✨ In this episode, we explore:Why spirituality is often marketed as peace, flow, and easeHow pain can feel like evidence we failedWhy we internalize blame instead of asking better questionsInitiations vs punishments on a spiritual pathWhy alignment doesn't always feel peacefulHow to stay connected to yourself during uncertaintyYou're not broken. You're not behind. And you're not doing it wrong.THE RECLAIM INTENSIVE (3 month Coaching)https://isabelhealing.com/the-reclaim-intensive/Support the showContact For Real Talk with IsabelEmail: isabelmindbodysoul@gmail.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/franke.isabel/Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@isabel.franke?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pcWebsite: https://isabelhealing.com
