Moonbeaming

This week Sarah sits down with Dr. Tony Nader, a physician, neuroscientist, and leader in the Transcendental Meditation movement, to explore one of the biggest mysteries of our existence: consciousness.

Together, they explore the relationship between the mind and body, science and spirituality, meditation and creativity, and what it means to access a deeper sense of self.

On this episode of Moonbeaming you'll hear:

How Dr. Tony Nader went from physician and neuroscientist to studying consciousness and Transcendental Meditation

What consciousness actually is and why Dr. Nader believes it extends far beyond human consciousness

How meditation can create a state of inner silence while maintaining deep alertness and awareness

Why stress and fear narrow our consciousness and limit the possibilities we can see

How calming the nervous system can create more space for creativity, intuition, and clearer decision-making

The connection between meditation, the brain, creativity, and the default mode network

How Transcendental Meditation can help us reconnect with what Dr. Nader describes as our deeper, truer self

What it means to live from a place of greater consciousness, connection, and care

Dr. Tony Nader is a physician, neuroscientist, Vedic scholar, and leader of the Transcendental Meditation movement. A Harvard- and MIT-trained scientist, he is the author of Consciousness Is All There Is and his newest book, The Power of Caring, which explores how caring is rooted in consciousness and how we can cultivate deeper, more fulfilling connections with ourselves and others.

It's almost September dear listener! 

In this deeply personal episode, Sarah opens up about the heartbreak and change she's currently navigating and how it connects to September's central theme: corrective experiences.

This month is an invitation to do things differently, to rewrite old patterns, to stay rooted in your values, and to find meaning even when life doesn't unfold the way you hoped.

On this episode of Moonbeaming you'll hear:

Why corrective experiences are the central theme of September

How doing things differently can help you build confidence and create proof that change is possible

Why September is a month for closing old chapters and beginning new ones

How to recognize when fear, defensiveness, or outdated patterns are guiding your thoughts and actions

Why the challenge this month is to make things easier by loosening your grip and letting go of control

How asking for help and allowing yourself to receive support can help you navigate periods of transition

Why friendship, play, and community are especially important during difficult times

How to stay connected to your values and integrity when life isn't going the way you want it to

Why you don't have to wait for everything to be resolved before you allow yourself to feel whole

How to use the energy of the equinox to reorient around the things you want more of in your life

Today, Sarah is joined by gender-expansive and nature-based tarot reader, workshop facilitator, and writer Lee Starfield for a live coaching session on one of the biggest challenges many creatives face: finishing what they start. Together, they explore how redefining success can help you finally complete the work that's calling you.

On this episode of Moonbeaming you'll hear:

Why perfectionism often keeps us from finishing our creative projects

How to balance discipline with intuition without becoming overly rigid

Why fear of finishing is often rooted in scarcity and self-worth

Why showing up for your creative practice matters more than feeling inspired

How devotion, rather than discipline alone, can transform your relationship with creativity

Why community and collaborative art-making can quiet the inner critic and reconnect you with play

Whether you're writing, painting, making music, or simply trying to finish something you've been carrying for years, this conversation offers practical tools and compassionate encouragement to help you trust your creativity again.
