    In this episode, Sarah sits down with Many Moons 2026 contributor and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner Madison Abdullah 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

    What if the turning points you didn’t choose are the ones that shape you the most?

    In this episode, Sarah sits down with seer, spiritual guide, initiated medicine woman, and counseling psychologist Dra. Rocio Rosales Meza for a deeply grounding conversation about personal transformation. Drawing from her Indigenous earth medicine lineage, lived experience, and work guiding sensitive practitioners and healers, Dra. Rocio illuminates what becomes possible when we stop forcing and start listening to the wisdom moving through our lives.

    You’ll hear:

    • Why collapse, burnout, and “tower moments” often signal spiritual redirection rather than failure
    • What soul loss is, how it happens, and why calling back our souls is essential in times of collective trauma
    • How grief, exhaustion, and uncertainty can become portals back to connection
    • Why so many creatives, healers, and educators are rethinking how they work and live
    • How to parent, partner, and build community in ways that break from dominance and extraction
    • Why being emotionally and spiritually resourced matters now more than ever

    More on Dra. Rocio Rosales Meza:

    Doctora Rocio stands at the intersection of ancestral Earth wisdom and medicine to navigate these times while planting seeds for a liberated future.

    She is a Mother, a Seer, a medicine woman in the Q'ero Inca lineage, and Counseling Psychology Ph.D. mentored by Black & Latin@ psychologists, matriarchs, and Indigenous medicine people.

    For 25 years, she has guided people to unlearn the oppressive programming of our modern society so that we can reclaim our wholeness, our wellness, and do our part to birth a better world. 

    Her work bridges worlds - helping you decolonize your mind to liberate your spirit while honoring both ancient traditions and the unique challenges of our times.

    She does not teach from theory—she teaches from lived experience, from wounds turned to wisdom, from her deep partnership with her ancestors, and from the channel she has been entrusted with in service of realizing the prophecy of a new ancient paradigm. 

    The 25 years of healership and teaching experience she carries, along with thousands of hours of therapy experience, and walking an Indigenous Earth Medicine path uniquely equip her to serve as a guide for our collective healing.

    What if the way you choose to close the year is the most powerful magic you can bring into 2026?

    In this episode, Sarah deepens the reflections from last week and brings us into a look at what this year has asked of us. Drawing from the Hermit Year workshop channelings and her own lived experience of 2025, Sarah explores what it means to arrive at the end of a 9 year… the limits we hit, the identities we shed, the values that shifted, the intuition that recalibrated, and the quiet, everyday practices that actually carry us across a threshold.

    You’ll hear:

    • Why exhaustion, grief, and “bone tiredness” were built into the architecture of 2025
    • How limits act as teachers
    • What it means when old patterns flare up right before they dissolve
    • How intuition is changing collectively and personally
    • The power of returning to the deeper Self you’ve drifted from
    • The “Secret Third Thing” as an alternative to all-or-nothing thinking
    • Why discernment, devotion, and simplification are essential as we close out the year
    • How to prepare internally for the Magician energy of 2026 without forcing decisions or rushing clarity

    Menopause, Midlife, and the Truth About HRT with Alicia J. Rose

    What if menopause wasn’t something to fear but a milestone to embrace?

    In this episode, Sarah talks with filmmaker and musician Alicia J. Rose about what really happens during perimenopause and menopause, why so many people struggle to get answers, and how knowledge can change everything.

    Alicia shares her personal story of realizing her symptoms were hormonal, learning to advocate for herself, and finding healing through hormone therapy (HRT). Her experience inspired her new project, Meno Punks — a documentary and podcast series about midlife, music, and the power of telling the truth about women’s health.

    Together, Sarah and Alicia break down the misinformation surrounding menopause and talk honestly about how culture, medicine, and patriarchy have shaped what we believe about aging and womanhood.

    • What perimenopause and menopause actually are and how to recognize the signs
    • Why so many people are misdiagnosed or dismissed when they seek help
    • The truth about hormone therapy (HRT) and why it was unfairly labeled unsafe
    • How menopause affects creativity, mood, energy, and relationships
    • Why Gen X women are leading a new, more honest conversation about midlife
    • Practical steps to get informed, find the right care, and support others going through it

    This episode is for anyone who wants to better understand menopause—whether you’re in it, approaching it, or supporting someone who is.

    Meet Alicia J. Rose
