    I really needed this. I've been feeling so much shame over my creative routines. All of my life I have been told my "all over the place" methods will get me nowhere fast, so I've tried every linear method I could find to help me be productive in a "normal" way, but it never works how I want it to. I want to be the person that works with strict deadlines and has consistent focus. I've found it just sets me up for failure when I attempt to apply my own methods by how society thinks I should operate. I'd still like a better system to keep me grounded, but it's becoming obvious that I need to make my own system and not rely on someone else's.
  • I struggle to describe how much I appreciate your giving here. It's so incredibly honest and sincere. You remind me that there's kindness and sincerity and integrity in the world. Your philosophical guided journeys into the nature of being are indescribably wonderful. Thank you SVB.
  • Once again, you shine with your gentle introspective explanation of something typically labeled as dreadful by the outspoken and often media lead voices. I am so grateful for your vision and mission to create a soft landing perspective for everything and anything the universe spins our way. For sometime, I have been taking notes about the intuitive card readings pulled at the end of all of your videos, collecting these gentle and unique descriptions, so I can hardly contain my excitement for the minor arcana journey this fall. Thank you so much for all you do!❤

    All this validation is medicine. Grateful that we have these supports. Really does make a difference. Lately the spaces you have here is like we are co creating together on a fun inspired project
  • I was born with a mercury retrograde in my chart and so I LOVE when this happens. I am so excited for August and all of the things I get to slow down, rethink and feel into. I have been feeling this during the pre-shadow phase. I welcome the hiccups. They show me what I need to revise or revisit or confront. My nervous system calms down during this period.

    It’s my birthday today and what a beautiful gift it was to see a post from you! 💗 as always thanks for a great video Sarah

    Omg! What a beautiful soul you are!!!😭 "Leaning a little bit more in to the radical acceptance of your rhythm and how you create and how you think, and how you work and how your brain works and how your body works..which when I think about people feeling free to do that, it makes me wanna cry, it makes me so happy and I want that for each of us" 💫💖💫 As a 54 year old, Virgo moon in the 5th house (with Saturn in my first house) that has always battered myself with self criticism, and constant efforting to 'be better'- This message feels like healing salve on my wound.❤️‍🩹 Even the bit about Neurotypes brought me consolation since my therapist recently told me she thinks I'm Autistic. Which, is such a strange lens to look at myself after having lived most of my life already. Please know, your presence, perspective and words have brought someone healing today🥲

    I've been thinking about this a lot lately as I've been reading through the tao te ching (the process of not doing is actually a guiding principle of taoism). One of my favorite verses on it is verse 11 - "Shape clay into a vessel, but it is the emptiness inside that is useful... The value of what is depends on what is not."

    The way I function in the "job field" is a shame for some of my family members esp my mother. They give me the "I don't understand you" attitude without trying to show some curiousity re my decisions or my way of thinking - no, not even a decent conversation about it or a single question, only remarks and belittling. I usually have different kind of jobs in tourism plus i have my own youtube channel very similar to yours, Sara. I work on projects and never really in a stable job. I have just started to really deeply understand that there is nothing wrong with me. NOTHING! I had moments when I felt that there was something wrong with me just because I set time aside for soul reflection periods and I do not work in between those periods. So far u pto this moment I have been trying to squeeze myself in a box or force myself to get the next job without feeling really that my soul needs it .... Your insights give me power and strength plus lot of understanding and bravery! To accept and take on who I am and not to feel ashamed. Our society is really so gainst the nature of our soul, in fact it turtures the soul.

    These cards!!! Duality and competitive win/lose thinking or being whole and sovereign as we are, not judging or comparing to others ❤❤❤❤❤❤ thank you for your work and sharing it out. So validating and encouraging!

    Thanks Sarah. I’m very tired of being treated very lowly by men. I will write the love letter they never send me, to myself. I got Covid and I’m forced to stop work. It’s been a lonely time, I feel more lonely trying to interact with men than just being alone. Yes, been choosing myself.
  • This was one of my favorite videos. All of this stuff has been coming up for me. I am definitely going through a lot of change around my role in my relationships and how I show up in this world. I am loving the permission I am receiving from myself and willingness to be brave enough to just be, without apologizing for not giving the song and dance. 💃 I am so exhausted by the song and dance. 😂 I look forward to your content it’s always so aligning. Following your own rhythm has been your super power. Influencing the world with your authenticity is some powerful stuff. Thanks for doing it. We need more of this in the world. ❤️🌎🙌

    beautiful ! you are your gift to the universe and we are all remembering who we are as we begin to seperate ourselves from the old systems as they fall apart under their own weight
  • I love this cause I just read a book “Express your light.” Much of the book speaks how we are love and light. That we are designed to listen to what the lightest option is for us, what choice most exciting and light in our body and follow that. Because this playground of a world, which is the universe. Is made in a way were we are meant to chose what is easiest cause that’s all that’s needed to thrive. Living is meant to be effortless, and the deepest lie most of us have been told is that this world is meant to be a struggle, we can only get anywhere with hard work. However, Our bodies are love, the universe is love, and love will manifest more the more we are channels for the universes unconditional love. We are light, and we are here to express that light. So many people understand the truth that old systems are no good for us, however still carry a hidden or deep shame whenever they feel free or are completely open to express their light. Like choosing the easiest option is “wrong”. That’s simply the mentality most of us were brought up to believe, from generations back, to now. This is so natural and completely acceptable. But now is a powerful time to change our memory, and mindsets. Now is an empowering opportunity to see, we can be filled with love, joy, pleasantness, and live exactly how we want, because that simply happens when we know who we are, and when we express our light. Now we are not only aware of the truth, but able to change our conditioning, and live truly embodied in love and light, and share it with absolute faith. Cause the universe loves each one of us unconditionally and equally, and we can never make a mistake that will change that. We have always been unconditionally accepted, loved, and held by the universe. No one here is alone, or a genuine failure. Each person is a piece of love, a divine creation, and equal in light. We are free, and the best way to find freedom, is to become a channel for the universes love, and express from that. Express, and play❤ Much love 💗
