YES, BUT…
Spontaneous Brilliance Podcast
EPISODE #39 “YES, BUT…” In our metaphorical metaphysical guide to life that is Spontaneous Brilliance, we know that “Yes, and…” is a game of accepting and offering. It's a game that, when applied to the great stage of life, keeps us actively in the ping pong match of response-ability. We understand that the “and” is all important because that is where our offer lies. However, “Yes, and…” has a sister game: “Yes, but…” which is a game of accepting and blocking. Unfortunately in life, many of us unconsciously default to “Yes, but…” And in improv as...

INSPIRATION - COMMUNICATING WITH OUR SOULFUL SELF
Spontaneous Brilliance Podcast
EPISODE #38 “INSPIRATION - COMMUNICATING WITH OUR SOULFUL SELF” As Sandra has often said, “There is no shortage of brilliance on this planet, just a reluctance to offer it and a resistance to accepting it.” Well (as she points us to us), the “reluctance” and “resistance” is coming from us. We are on a journey of becoming conscious creators, but that means that we have to notice our inspiration. Our soulful self is communicating with us constantly and consistently, but our awareness is off. Unfortunately, we value listening to what others think, want, and do...

UNLEASH THE POWER OF YOUR UNIQUE CREATIVE GENIUS
Spontaneous Brilliance Podcast
EPISODE #36 “UNLEASH THE POWER OF YOUR UNIQUE CREATIVE GENIUS” In this episode, Sandra brings us to a deeper understanding of the remarkable power in discovering where your genius lies, and then sharing it on purpose. She draws a very marked distinction between creating and creativity. We are creating all the time, constantly, with every thought word, and deed. Conversely, creativity is the method we use to create consciously and intentionally. Together, we journey into a detailed exploration of Creativity as Sandra defines it: “Creativity is the conscious and...

DEFINING YOURSELF
Spontaneous Brilliance Podcast
EPISODE #35 “DEFINING YOURSELF” Sandra starts this episode with the question, “Do we spend more time defining ourselves or explaining ourselves?” She takes us on this Spontaneously Brilliant exploration of what it means to define ourselves. Defining ourselves comes from having the curiosity, openness, and courage to learn, grow, and discover our way to how we wish to show up as our character on the Great Stage of Life. Explaining ourselves is blocking that is based in the past, in limiting beliefs, and in the protective personality defending out of fear. We are not...

YES, AND-ING THE TOUGH STUFF
Spontaneous Brilliance Podcast
EPISODE #34 “YES, AND-ING THE TOUGH STUFF” This episode is overflowing with reminders and specific steps we can take to thrive as conscious creators even in times of extraordinary conflict and challenge. In the current state of our world, the important thing to remember is that we are in a 24/7 improv, which means that we are in a constant process of accepting (YES) and offering (AND…). YES, I see what is happening and yes, I do not agree with it, AND this is how I choose to respond to it. Accept means acknowledge. Offer means find the love! In this episode, Sandra...

THE CREATIVE POWER OF OUR WORDS
Spontaneous Brilliance Podcast
EPISODES #33 “THE CREATIVE POWER OF OUR WORDS” In this episode, Sandra reminds us that our words focus the energy of creation. When we don’t understand the creative power of our words, we can create things that we don’t recognize or intend. We are responsible for all that we create, consciously and unconsciously. We are practicing powerful magic every day in the words we think and say. We’re talking all the time, telling our story and creating the world in which we live. We need to do it mindfully, listening before we speak, recognizing the thoughts that are becoming...

PURE POTENTIALITY
Spontaneous Brilliance Podcast
TITLE: “PURE POTENTIALITY” EPISODES #32 “PURE POTENTIALITY” In this field of infinite possibility, we have the potential of getting in alignment with what we came here to experience. When you are living your purpose, you have the potential in every moment to create your life consciously and vibrate in alignment with your sacred purpose. The only limits we have are the ones that we have decided to agree with. Our soulful self came here to experience through the character (our egoic self) that which we recognize as us. We are here because our soulful self, our own...

OFFERING THE GIFT OF LOVE
Spontaneous Brilliance Podcast
EPISODES #30 “OFFERING THE GIFT OF LOVE” In this episode, Sandra reminds us to offer the energy of love to all those who show up in our lives and to ourselves.

We are asked to find the love, share the love, and lean into a balanced, respectful, loving collaboration in each and every...
info_outlineThe Metaphorical Metaphysical Guide to Life that is Spontaneous Brilliance was inspired by Sandra’s two favorite metaphors. In this inspirational episode Sandra focuses on her second favorite metaphor: “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” - Albert Einstein. How do we show up fully as the wonderful fish, giraffes, and pangolins that we are in a world where the systems we live, learn, and work within are designed by and for the “well meaning monkeys”?
