JUST DO IT!
JUST DO IT! In this episode, Sandra takes us through an essential primer on how to truly live in our state of Spontaneous Brilliance.

When we get caught up in perfectionism, comparison, expectations, judgements, fear, and limiting beliefs, we miss the opportunities that exist in every moment. Whatever our dream or desire, whatever we feel the need to be, do, and share, we must follow that impulse and take a step, make a move, do something! Don’t miss this inspired “how to” for taking steps large and small toward embracing your spontaneously brilliant life. And remember, the door is open!

THE PUPPY ATE MY PODCAST!
THE PUPPY ATE MY PODCAST! This week, an adorable, gigantic puppy became the teacher of the power, ease, and grace that results from accepting everything as an offer and embracing every obstacle. Think about all the things we have been talking about in Spontaneous Brilliance Land for years: 100% Responsibility, Embracing the Obstacles, There is No Why, Finding the Love, “Yes, Anding…” the Tough Stuff, Everything Is an Offer, the More Attached We Are to the Plan, the More Likely We are to Block, and all the other all the other “In Acting as In Life…” truisms. These are not just hyperbole; they are the answer to how we show up with faith on the Great Stage of Life. The obstacles of our life are our textbooks and a sign of the beautiful thing yet to come. We must ask ourselves how to apply our imaginations to this moment and allow it to become something greater. And remember, the door is open!

RESISTANCE IS NOT A STOP SIGN!
RESISTANCE IS NOT A STOP SIGN! Increasing resistance is not a sign to give up; it’s a sign that you are almost there! The only sign worth acknowledging is the one inside telling you what you are here for. Resistance and obstacles are how we learn and grow. Sandra reminds us to “Yes, and…” every disquieting feeling, every limiting belief, every fear, and every struggle. In this inspirational episode, Sandra helps us see how to turn heightened resistance into a beautiful opportunity. “What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the Master calls a butterfly.” Richard Bach And remember, the door is open!

WHAT ARE WE AFRAID OF?
EPISODE #52 “WHAT ARE WE AFRAID OF?” What makes us so uncomfortable about being 100% responsible for creating the life we are living? We all came here “on purpose,” and yet most of us are afraid to take center stage in this life and recognize that we are playing the lead in a story of our own creation. In this inspirational episode, Sandra helps us to recognize that no matter how uncomfortable it feels to be in complete control of the creation of our life, this is where the fun starts!

How to “Yes, Thank You, And…” AI
EPISODE #51 How to “Yes, Thank You, And…” AI In this episode, Sandra reminds us to treat AI as an offer. AI cannot block our imagination or our creativity–only we can do that. We are reminded to go back to the essential practices from the Metaphorical Metaphysical Guide to Life. When we apply what we know about offering, accepting, not blocking, relationship/status interactions, gratitude, finding the love, taking 100% responsibility, and embracing the obstacles, we can experience AI as just another offer. Sandra reminds us how to avoid overwhelm and fear, and utilize AI to amplify the sharing of our unique creative genius. Join us for this exploration of how each of us can say “Yes, thank you, snd…” to AI in our 24/7 improv on The Great Stage Of Life. And remember, the door is open!

EPISODE #49 “A NEURODIVERGENT RANT” As a neurodivergent individual, this is Sandra’s ranting rebellion against the concept that there is a norm or a “normal” that we are all being compared to or measured against. This wild rant of an episode is inviting us to recognize, embrace, accept, respect, and celebrate our neurodivergence. We are all unique creative geniuses. We are all individuals. We are unique characters here on the Great Stage of Life and all our traits, characteristics, and/or challenges are part of the beauty of who we are.

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
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.

EPISODE #46 “TAKING CONSCIOUS RESPONSE-ABILITY FOR THE POWER OF OUR THOUGHTS” Sandra talks a lot about how fast people think. Every thought, every imagining, every visualization (whether or not we are conscious of it) is creating our reality. Our response-ability is about choosing what we are going to imagine, visualize, focus on, and intend. Our imagination is a creative force, and whatever we are envisioning, we are creating. It’s 100% up to each of us to choose how we use this incredibly powerful creative tool.

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!

SHARING OUR ASSUMPTIONS
EPISODE #44 “SHARING OUR ASSUMPTIONS” This wisdom filled episode takes us into a deep exploration of how to recognize and shift the assumptions that we are making and unconsciously imposing on those around us. When we decide or assume how another player on the Great Stage of Life is feeling or thinking, it is attached to our presets, our fears, and our limiting beliefs. When we share our assumptions with another, consciously or unconsciously, we are out of alignment. When we assume how someone else feels, thinks, or “is,” we are responding out of fear. Sandra reminds us that it is 100% our response-ability to check ourselves, notice, and shift our sharing to come from a place of curiosity, rather than a place of assumption.

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.

YES, BUT…

YES, BUT…
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 in life, when we do, we are negating, contradicting, or devaluing the offer of the other player. In this episode, Sandra helps us see where our unconscious defaults come from and how we can consciously stop blocking ourselves and others. And remember, this podcast is for you!

INSPIRATION - COMMUNICATING WITH OUR SOULFUL SELF

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.

EPISODE #37 “WHAT DOES IT REALLY MEAN TO BE 100% RESPONSE-ABLE?” In this powerful and wisdom filled episode, Sandra reminds us that we are here in this 24/7 Improvisation on the Great State of Life on purpose. We have a response-ability for our choices in our performance. Sandra takes us on a step-by-step journey through the process of accepting and offering our way through our performance.

UNLEASH THE POWER OF YOUR UNIQUE CREATIVE GENIUS

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

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!

YES, AND-ING THE TOUGH STUFF
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 helps us to “find the love” irrespective of our circumstances or conditions. She guides us through a deep dive into the fundamental principles in Spontaneous Brilliance and how they can help us to understand the pitfalls of over accepting or blocking, and resisting to embrace the challenges in our life as happening for us not to us.

THE CREATIVE POWER OF OUR WORDS
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 words in our head, and the judgements and beliefs that we are holding in the form of words. We create ourselves, others, our circumstance, and our entire world with our words. And we are asked to show up as the unique creative geniuses, recognizing that we are creating ourselves and our world with every single word we think and say. And remember, this podcast is for you!

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 essence, our perfect spark of divine energy chose to cast itself in this story as us, in this moment. Through curiosity, playfulness, and imagination, we can engage with the unbounded possibilities that our soulful self came here to experience. And remember, this podcast is for you!
