Spontaneous Brilliance PodcastSpontaneous Brilliance PodcastA NEURODIVERGENT RANTEPISODE #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. Life is about discovering what the be...2025-07-1931 minSpontaneous Brilliance PodcastSpontaneous Brilliance PodcastEVERYTHING IS ALRIGHT IN THE ENDEPISODE #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 t...2025-06-2735 minSpontaneous Brilliance PodcastSpontaneous Brilliance PodcastGARBAGE IN, GARBAGE OUTEPISODE #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 st...2025-06-2127 minSpontaneous Brilliance PodcastSpontaneous Brilliance PodcastTAKING CONSCIOUS RESPONSE-ABILITY FOR THE POWER OF OUR THOUGHTSEPISODE #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. In this episode, Sandra gives us great steps and tactics for focusin...2025-06-1423 minSpontaneous Brilliance PodcastSpontaneous Brilliance PodcastCOMMITTING TO OUR GENIUSEPISODE #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 commit...2025-06-0730 minFrom Trauma to True Love with Leila ReyesFrom Trauma to True Love with Leila ReyesFrom Trauma To True Love, June 4, 2025S1E17, Spontaneous Brilliance Through Radical Responsibility With Guest Sandra Cavanaugh2025-06-0549 minSpontaneous Brilliance PodcastSpontaneous Brilliance PodcastSHARING OUR ASSUMPTIONSEPISODE #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...2025-05-3029 minSpontaneous Brilliance PodcastSpontaneous Brilliance PodcastRECOGNIZING AND ALIGNING WITH OUR TRUTHEPISODE #43 RECOGNIZING AND ALIGNING WITH OUR TRUTH    What is our authentic truth?

In this episode, Sandra helps us recognize how we block ourselves from showing up authentically when we default to Fight, Flight, Fear, or Fawning, and how we can move from those unconscious responses to conscious offers. This episode is filled with Spontaneously Brilliant fundamental strategies for interrupting our unconscious responses and replacing them with acts of...2025-05-1834 minSpontaneous Brilliance PodcastSpontaneous Brilliance PodcastQ&A WITH KATIE PRESTONEPISODE #41   “Q&A WITH KATIE PRESTON”   In this first Q&A episode of the Spontaneous Brilliance Podcast, actress Katie Preston joins Sandra to ask her questions about actually living the principles in Spontaneous Brilliance.

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...2025-04-1930 minSpontaneous Brilliance PodcastSpontaneous Brilliance PodcastINSPIRATION - COMMUNICATING WITH OUR SOULFUL SELFEPISODE #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...2025-04-1337 minSpontaneous Brilliance PodcastSpontaneous Brilliance PodcastWHAT DOES IT REALLY MEAN TO BE 100% RESPONSE-ABLE?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.

She draws a very marked distinction between creating and creativity. We are creating all the time, constantly, with every thought word, and deed.

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.

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…).

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.
