    What happens when intuition leads you all the way to the edge of science?

    In this episode, Sarah closes out the Intuition Series with a powerful conversation that lives at the intersection of neuroscience and the unexplainable. She sits down with cognitive neuroscientist and author Mona Sobhani, PhD, to explore what unfolds when a traditionally trained skeptic begins to question the very foundations of a materialist worldview.

    After a series of personal experiences she couldn’t easily dismiss — coffee ground readings that came true, psychic encounters, and precognitive dreams — Mona did what scientists are trained to do: she investigated. What began as curiosity turned into years of research into psychic phenomena, reincarnation studies, quantum physics, altered states of consciousness, and competing models of reality.

    Together, Sarah and Mona explore the possibility that science and spirituality were never meant to be separate — and that the “unexplainable” may simply be what we haven’t yet learned how to measure.

    In this episode, you’ll hear:

    • Mona’s journey from skeptical neuroscientist to open-minded investigator of spiritual phenomena
    • The existential turning points that cracked open deeper questions about fate, free will, and meaning
    • Scientific research on psychic phenomena
    • Quantum physics, non-locality, and the observer effect
    • How time, space, and determinism may not work the way we think
    • Altered states, meditation, sound, light, and brainwave entrainment
    • Precognitive dreams and intuitive information arising in non-ordinary states
    • Competing models of reality: materialism, panpsychism, idealism, dualism
    • The “trickster” element of consciousness and the limits of measurement
    • What it would take for science and spirituality to truly collaborate

    Meet Mona

    When Science Meets The Supernatural

    What happens when your scientific training tells you the universe is random and meaningless — but your lived experience says otherwise?

    If you’ve ever felt torn between skepticism and spirituality, between logic and intuition, you’re not alone. Many of us were taught that to be intelligent means to dismiss the mystical. So when something unexplainable happens, it can feel disorienting — even destabilizing.

    In this episode of Moon Beaming, I sit down with cognitive neuroscientist and author Mona Sobhani, PhD, to explore what unfolds when a rigorously trained skeptic begins questioning the very assumptions she was taught to defend.

    After personal experiences she couldn’t ignore — psychic readings that proved accurate, existential crisis, and precognitive dreams — Mona followed her curiosity into research on consciousness, quantum physics, and spiritual phenomena. This conversation offers clarity not by choosing sides, but by widening the lens.

    If you’re drawn to conversations at the edge of science and mysticism, make sure you’re subscribed to the Moonbeaming newsletter for deeper reflections, tools, and upcoming events.

    In this episode, we explore:

    • Mona’s journey from skeptic to investigator of spiritual phenomena
    • Scientific research on psychic experiences
    • Quantum physics, non-locality, and the observer effect
    • The brain as receiver vs. creator of consciousness
    • Altered states and mystical experience
    • Competing models of reality — materialism, panpsychism, and beyond

    Reality may be far stranger — and far more alive — than we’ve been taught to believe.

    What if the reason intuition advice has never worked for you is because it wasn’t designed for your brain?

    In this episode, Sarah explores the powerful intersection of intuition and neurodivergence — and why so much mainstream spiritual guidance can feel confusing, inaccessible, or even shaming for people with different nervous systems.

    Sarah also shares more about her Intuition Series (Secret Studies), a grounded, trauma-aware, neurodivergence-inclusive approach to developing intuitive skills in a way that feels safe, sustainable, and empowering.

    In this episode you’ll hear:

    • The difference between top-down and bottom-up processing
    • Why many neurodivergent people experience delayed processing
    • How intuition can show up as anger, intensity, or expansion — not just peace
    • The myth that you must act on intuition immediately
    • Why protector parts can override intuitive hits
    • Capacity, impulsivity, dopamine, and energy miscalculation (especially for ADHD folks)
    • How to take more time and build trust with yourself

    Take a breath. Slow down. Your intuition doesn’t need to look like anyone else’s to be real.

    If Intuition Advice Has Never Worked for You & You Are Neurodivergent, Read This

    What if the reason intuition advice has never worked for you is because it wasn’t designed for your brain?

    Maybe you’ve tried to “just listen to your inner voice,” but you don’t hear one. There is nothing wrong with you.

    Most mainstream intuition advice is built for linear, top-down processors. It rarely accounts for the way neurodivergence shapes perception, processing, timing, energy, or pattern recognition.

    In this episode of Moonbeaming, (link) I explore intuition through the lens of neurodivergence and nervous system awareness — and why cookie-cutter spiritual advice often misses the people who need nuance the most.

    This episode we explore:

    • The difference between top-down and bottom-up processing
    • Why many neurodivergent people experience delayed processing
    • How intuition can show up as anger, intensity, or expansion — not just peace
    • The myth that you must act on intuition immediately
    • Why protector parts can override intuitive hits
    • Capacity, impulsivity, dopamine, and energy miscalculation (especially for ADHD folks)
    • How to take more time and build trust with yourself

    If this resonates, this is also the final call to join Secret Studies: The Intuition Series. (link)

    This is my grounded, somatics-informed, depth-psychology-rooted container for developing intuitive skill in a way that feels safe and sustainable.

    And remember, there is literally nothing wrong with you. Your intuition isn’t broken — it’s just not linear.

    If you can put in a button to the course, do so here.

    What if intuition isn’t one clear voice — but a holographic field of many different kinds of knowing?

    In today’s episode, Sarah explores the premise that intuition is not a single sensation or moment of certainty, but a spectrum — fluid, multi-channeled, and deeply alive.

    Sarah breaks down two primary forms of intuition: the kind that arrives as calm clarity and recognition, and the kind that shows up as a pull, a compulsion, or an invitation into the unknown. She shares why the second form is often mistaken for anxiety, and how learning to trust uncertainty can be one of the most powerful ways we grow.

    This episode is a reframe for anyone who has ever wondered if they’re “doing intuition wrong,” and a reminder that inner knowing doesn’t always lead to comfort — it often leads to expansion, healing, and becoming more fully yourself.

    In this episode, you’ll hear:

    • Why intuition is holographic and comes through many channels
    • The difference between certainty intuition and the intuitive pull
    • How anxiety can arise in response to uncertainty
    • Intuition as a healing GPS and an invitation into growth
    • Why intuition doesn’t always lead to ease or comfort
    • How trust is built through the unknown
    • Learning the unique language of your own inner knowing

    --- 

    Intuition Isn’t Certainty — It’s a Spectrum

    What if intuition isn’t a single clear signal? What if the moments that feel foggy, destabilizing, or even anxiety-producing aren’t signs that you’re disconnected… but signs that something meaningful is unfolding?

    If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re “doing intuition wrong,” you’re not alone. Many of us have been taught that intuition should feel calm, certain, and reassuring — and when it doesn’t, we assume we’ve failed or misread the signal.

    In this episode of Moonbeaming, Sarah offers a powerful reframe: intuition is holographic. It’s a spectrum. It comes through many channels, shapes, and sensations — and not all of them are comfortable.

    If this episode resonates, it’s part of a larger Intuition Series leading into Secret Studies: Intuition — Sarah’s foundational course on learning the unique language of your own inner knowing.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:

    • Why intuition is holographic and moves through many channels
    • The difference between certainty-based intuition and the intuitive pull
    • How anxiety often arises in response to uncertainty — not intuition itself
    • Intuition as a healing GPS rather than a guarantee of comfort
    • Why intuition often leads to growth, not ease
    • How trust is built by moving through the unknown
    • Learning the unique language of your intuition, rather than copying someone else’s

    Intuition isn’t here to give you perfect answers or a neatly wrapped outcome. It’s here to move the plot forward — to expand your capacity, deepen your trust, and guide you toward a more honest version of yourself.

    What if intuition isn’t mystical — but practical, trainable, and actionable?

    Today, Sarah welcomes best-selling author and world-renowned intuitive, Laura Day, to the podcast. Sarah and Laura explore intuition as a grounded, practical tool — one that can be strengthened through reality-testing, self-awareness, and actionable guidance rather than fear or overwhelm.

    In this rich conversation, Laura shares her origin story of discovering her intuitive abilities through scientific research, and how neurodivergence shaped her relationship to perception and inner knowing. Together, Sarah and Laura discuss how intuition can support us through crisis, help us recognize patterns, and guide us toward more adaptive choices in everyday life.

    This episode is an invitation to approach intuition with clarity, rigor, and agency — not as something to outsource your power to, but as a skill you can cultivate in service of a more grounded and meaningful life.

    In this episode, you’ll hear:

    • How to tell the difference between anxiety and intuition
    • Neurodivergence as a secret weapon for intuitive awareness
    • Why intuition should be actionable and grounded
    • Crisis response types and how we react under stress
    • Free will, fate, and the patterns we repeat — or transform
    • Practical frameworks for strengthening inner knowing

    New York Times bestselling author and teacher Laura Day has spent four decades using intuition to help both individuals and billion-dollar companies identify and achieve their goals. She is the author of six books (including two New York Times bestsellers), among them Practical Intuition, The Circle, Welcome to Your Crisis, and How to Rule the World from Your Couch.

    What If Intuition Isn’t Mystical — But Practical?

    Many people think intuition is something rare, mystical, or reserved for a gifted few. Something that arrives fully formed, calm, and certain — or not at all. But what happens when intuition feels messy or urgent? When it’s hard to tell whether you’re sensing something real or just feeling afraid?

    In this episode of Moonbeaming, Sarah sits down with best-selling author and renowned intuitive Laura Day to explore intuition as a grounded, practical skill — one that can be trained, tested, and used in real life rather than idealized or outsourced to fate.

    This conversation offers a reframing of intuition not as something to romanticize, but something to work with — especially in moments of stress, crisis, or uncertainty.

    If this episode resonates, you may enjoy our intuition course, Secret Studies: Intuition, where we explore how to strengthen inner knowing through structure, discernment, and practice.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:

    • How to tell the difference between anxiety and intuition
    • Why intuition should be actionable and grounded
    • How neurodivergence can sharpen intuitive awareness
    • Crisis response types and how we react under pressure
    • How patterns repeat — and how intuition helps us interrupt them
    • Practical frameworks for strengthening inner knowing

    Intuition isn’t about prediction or perfection. It’s about pattern recognition, responsiveness, and choice.

    When intuition becomes practical, it stops being something you wait for — and becomes something you use.

    What do you do when the inner voice that once guided you suddenly goes quiet?

    In today’s episode, Sarah explores what it feels like when you’ve lost your intuition. Drawing from her own personal experiences, Sarah reminds us that intuition never truly disappears. Instead, it can become buried under stress, fear, overwhelm, or the sheer effort of getting through the day.

    This episode is an invitation to soften, to come back to your body, and to remember that your intuition is not a performance or a lightning bolt — it’s a relationship. Sarah shares grounded reflections on why intuition can feel inaccessible during certain seasons of life, how nervous system health is deeply tied to inner knowing, and what it looks like to rebuild trust with yourself step by step.

    If you’ve been feeling cut off, unsure, or disconnected from your own guidance, this conversation offers reassurance, tools, and a path back home.

    In this episode, you’ll hear:

    • Why intuition often feels quiet in survival mode
    • The connection between nervous system regulation and inner knowing
    • How burnout, illness, anxiety, and overwhelm can cloud intuition
    • Why “no signal” doesn’t mean you’re broken
    • How intuition returns through patience, devotion, and embodied trust
    • Small ways to begin listening again, right where you are

    Do you feel like you’ve lost touch with your intuition? In the first episode of our Intuition Series, Sarah explores why intuition is not a luxury, a spiritual add-on, or a personality trait — but a necessary survival skill for our tumultuous times.

    As information overload exhausts our nervous systems, intuition becomes the inner compass we can no longer afford to ignore. Sarah shares how trusting her intuition has shaped her life, work, relationships, and creative practice, and why reclaiming intuition is essential in an age of distraction.

    This episode weaves together somatics, neuroscience, spirituality, and lived experience to examine how intuition actually works and how learning to listen again can restore clarity, energy, self-trust, and purpose.

    You’ll hear:

    • What intuition really is (and what it’s not)
    • Why intuition matters more than ever right now
    • How information overload disrupts intuition and decision-making
    • The role of the nervous system in intuitive knowing
    • The danger of outsourcing intuition to trends, technology, or spiritual tools
    • Why not knowing can be a powerful form of intuition

    What if personal responsibility is the gateway to healing, not shame?

    In this week’s episode of Moonbeaming, Sarah explores the Magician as both the card of the year and a foundational archetype for conscious creation, healing, and reinvention.

    This episode weaves together tarot, trauma-informed psychology, nervous system awareness, and spiritual practice to examine how we unknowingly outsource our power through rumination, self-blame, and unresolved relational dynamics — and how we can begin to call that energy back.

    This episode is an invitation to come back to yourself and to begin again from a place of conscious choice.

    You’ll hear:

    • Why personal accountability is essential for spiritual growth
    • How rumination, shock, and unresolved trauma drain our life force
    • Why reclaiming your energy is a core act of healing
    • How the Magician archetype relates to consciousness, agency, and self-trust
    • Why creativity, pleasure, and whimsy are valid motivations for change
    • How reinvention becomes possible when you stop outsourcing your worth

    What if this year isn’t about moving faster, but about moving with intention?

    In this weeks episode of Moonbeaming, Sarah offers a preview of what will be explored in the Moon Studio ‘Year Ahead’ workshop series beginning this Saturday, January 10th.

    Rather than predictions or pressure to act quickly, Sarah invites a different approach to the new year — one rooted in pacing, attention, and personal agency. She reflects on urgency culture, nervous system capacity, and the difference between insight and integration, while introducing the Magician as a guiding archetype for the year ahead and a symbol of reclaimed inner authority.

    You’ll hear:

    • Why urgency culture can push us into survival mode and how to recognize when it’s time to recalibrate
    • Why pacing, rest, and integration matter more than forcing momentum at the start of the year
    • How slowing down and doing less can create more clarity, capacity, and alignment
    • What it means to be in right relationship with time
    • How the Magician archetype speaks to agency, self-trust, and inner authority
    • Why tools and frameworks work best when they support intuition rather than replace it

    What happens when you honor what you’ve lived before moving into 2026?

    In this reflective solo episode of Moonbeaming, Sarah offers a honest year-in-review and an invitation to plan the year ahead intuitively.

    After a year marked by collective upheaval, personal reckonings, and prolonged survival mode, Sarah explores what it means to ‘compost the past’ rather than rush into forced renewal.

    Drawing on tarot archetypes, nervous system awareness, and lived experience, this episode is about clearing the brambles, reclaiming agency, and beginning again from a place of truth.

    You’ll hear:

    • Why survival mode can become a baseline — and how to recognize when it’s time to recalibrate
    • Why January and February are often for reflection, rest, and composting — not forcing momentum
    • Why slowing down, scaling back, and doing less can paradoxically lead to more alignment and growth
    • How archetypes like the Hermit, the Nine, and the Chariot shaped 2025’s collective and personal themes
    • What it looks like to plan the year ahead from integrity instead of pressure or performance

    In this episode, Sarah sits down with Many Moons 2026 contributor and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner Madison Abdallah for a conversation about the nervous system patterns that quietly shape how we create, express, and move through the world. Drawing from years of somatic trauma resolution work, Madison offers a grounded, compassionate framework for returning to flow.

    You’ll hear:

    • Why overwhelm and shutdown are often signs of a nervous system trying to keep us safe
    • Why shame is one of the most powerful (and misunderstood) blocks to creative expression
    • How “slowing down to speed up” rewires capacity, energy, and self-trust
    • What functional freeze looks like and how to (gently) move out of it
    • Why many people mistake ADHD for freeze states rooted in trauma
    • How to build secure attachment with yourself so creativity, visibility, and expression feel possible again
    • The surprising role of healthy aggression, anger, and embodied aliveness in reclaiming creativity
    • How one small action can reorganize your entire internal landscape
    • Why Many Moons includes somatic practices, and why that is so important in terms of manifestation and creation

    More on Madison: 

    Madison Abdallah has been a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and creative coach for over a decade, translating nervous system trauma-resolution with a radical & relatable modern approach. Follow her at @radiantsomatics or learn more at www.radiantsomatics.com
