EVERYTHING IS ALRIGHT IN THE END EPISODE #48 “EVERYTHING IS ALRIGHT IN THE END” In this episode, Sandra takes us on another exploration of a phrase that she has said to her daughters all their lives: “Everything is alright in the end. If it isn’t alright, it isn’t the end.” This is a masterclass in approaching life as the playwright of our own story. Recognizing that we are not only playing this character, but we are writing this masterpiece that we call our life. Playing a character in a story of our own creation means that everything in our life is a choice that we have made to write it into the fabric of our experience. Since everything is alright in the end, we use the obstacles, conflicts, and challenges in our story as inspiration to write an even greater story! Sandra gives us the 3 steps that form the 3 sides of hers and our impact circle. We don’t let obstacles, conflicts, and challenges stop us from continuing to own the adventure of this forward moving, magical story that we are writing; that point is not the end. On the stage and in life, don’t cut your play based on someone else’s fears, concerns, or limiting beliefs about what is possible for you to do. Write the play of your life. Hold onto the commitment to your vision as you head toward the end where everything is alright. And remember, the door is open!

GARBAGE IN, GARBAGE OUT 06/21/2025

GARBAGE IN, GARBAGE OUT EPISODE #47 “GARBAGE IN, GARBAGE OUT” In this episode, Sandra explores the meaning and impact of a phrase she has said to her kids for decades: “Garbage in, garbage out.” What is the value of what we are offering to our body, mind, and spirit? Our reality is our creation. We are generating, nurturing, and cultivating the reality in which we live. As Sandra says, “What we are imagining is the paint we are throwing on the canvas of our life!” And just as a steady diet of junk food will have a degenerative, detrimental effects on our bodies, a steady diet of mental junk food will have a detrimental, degenerative effect on our mind and our spirit. When we tether ourselves to the imaginings, offerings, beliefs, blocks, and presets of others, we are abdicating our own power of conscious creation. Follow Sandra on this enlightening exploration of how we can identify and understand what is being inspired or blocked in each of us by the things we might be unconsciously over-accepting in the offers of others.

COMMITTING TO OUR GENIUS 06/07/2025

COMMITTING TO OUR GENIUS EPISODE #45 COMMITTING TO OUR GENIUS Each of us is a genius in some way, in our OWN way. Everyone is a unique creative genius and the operative word there is “unique.” So, can we start saying “Yes, and…” to our genius? Remember that comparison and competition are the things that make us feel like we can’t or shouldn’t explore, expect, respect, and share our genius. We don’t know what the impact of our unique creativity can be if we don’t actually accept it and offer it. In this episode, Sandra invites us to make a commitment to get curious about our genius. She gives us specific steps to take to recognize, honor, build on, and share our unique genius. And once we’ve done that, she shows us the path to recognizing and supporting the genius of others. “I love seeing the light brighten in a person’s eyes when they see themselves being recognized, seen, and heard fully in that moment. Spontaneous Brilliance is more to me than a book, a company, or even a philosophy… it is a dream that I hold for a day when every single human being feels respected and recognized as a unique being with a valued and precious brilliance that they bring to this world.” - SANDRA CAVANAUGH And remember, the door is open!

THE JOURNEY EPISODE #40 “THE JOURNEY” In this milestone 40th episode, Sandra invites us to take a breath and focus our awareness on this journey through life each of us are on. Muse along with her regarding our journey and the fact that we are here as conscious creators, allowing our creative imagination to take flight, taking personal responsibility for that flight, and taking inspired action in pursuit of that flight. We are here on this journey for the sheer fun of learning, growing, and evolving through the experiences that we have. Our soulful self came here to experience this through our character. Life is what we came here to do. Life is not only what we came here to do only when we feel safe in every moment. And it is definitely not what we came here to become worthy to do. We are here to live the life that is worthy of what we truly are! Each of us is a part the beautiful loving energy that is the Source of all that is.

YES, BUT… 04/19/2025

INSPIRATION - COMMUNICATING WITH OUR SOULFUL SELF 04/13/2025

INSPIRATION - COMMUNICATING WITH OUR SOULFUL SELF 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 more than we value what is coming to us from the divine spark of source energy that is living in, as, and through our egoic self. Those inspired thoughts are why we are here. We are here to bring our inspiration to fruition as the character AND the playwright. Join us in this inspiring episode in which Sandra helps us understand how we can acknowledge and utilize our inspiration, intuition, and imagination to take our intentional place, center stage, on the great stage of life.

WHAT DOES IT REALLY MEAN TO BE 100% RESPONSE-ABLE? 04/05/2025

UNLEASH THE POWER OF YOUR UNIQUE CREATIVE GENIUS 03/29/2025

UNLEASH THE POWER OF YOUR UNIQUE CREATIVE GENIUS 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 deliberate evolutionary process of developing a thought or thoughts in the imagination and then taking action on those thoughts in order to manifest change, alter perception, enhance understanding, or to bring into being something as yet unrealized in our awareness or physical reality.” Our creativity is a process of discovery. Creativity is not solely having the idea, it is doing something with that idea. If we can follow the breadcrumbs of our curiosity, it will lead us to our creativity. And when that process of discovery brings us joy, then we know we are on that right path to a life filled with the power of our deliberate creativity. **note: The quote Sandra was referring to is by William Arthur Ward: “If you can imagine it, you can achieve it. If you can dream it, you can become it.” And remember, this podcast is for you! Join Sandra at the intersection of personal responsibility, creative imagination, and inspired action.

DEFINING YOURSELF 03/14/2025

DEFINING YOURSELF 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 defined by any aspect of our past. The past has no power except the power that we give it. And no matter what the past is, it does not explain, justify, validate, or clarify something going on in your life now. We still have 100% response-ability for what we choose to be the defining elements of ourselves in this life, now. Sandra invites us to define ourselves by our offers, by how we are learning and growing through our experiences, and by the love flowing in, as, and through us. And remember, this podcast is for you!
