138: Letting go of past versions of yourself, full moon reflections, + forgiveness
Unveil a new level of self-awareness and healing in this powerful solo episode, where I, Sara, dive deep into the transformative journey of self-compassion and release.
As the full moon in Aquarius approaches, I find myself at a pivotal moment of reflection, ready to shed the patterns and habits that no longer serve me. My ego has been roaring, but I’m embracing the challenge of letting go and stepping into a more authentic version of myself.
Join me as I share my raw and honest experiences, discussing the non-linear path of personal growth and the importance of releasing past behaviors to create space for self-worth and harmony. This episode is a gentle reminder that healing is a journey, not a destination, and that it’s okay to honor where we’ve been while also looking forward to where we’re going.
Connect with me as we explore the power of self-compassion and the courage it takes to break old patterns. Together, we’ll embrace the ebb and flow of growth, finding strength in our shared experiences.

You do not need to punish yourself for the actions of your past self. Your current self does not deserve to be punished for the actions of your past self. And what I mean by that is this the past versions of ourselves were doing the best that we could at the time with the tools that we had. Hello, my beautiful friends, welcome back to Mindfully Moody, your favorite podcast, hosted by your two spiritual besties, hannah and Sarah. It is just Sarah. Today I am here for a rare solo episode and I'm really excited to share with you a bit around where I am right now in my life, what's coming up for me, and just get really vulnerable. It is August 18th, tomorrow is the full moon in Aquarius and I am in a area of release and I know so many of us are in this place right now around this season and I really want to dig into what needs to be released in my life and also what's coming up for me that needs to be released in the collective, using my intuition. So before we jump into the episode, I want to drop a few updates. The first one is that I am hosting a women's retreat this December called the Awakened Woman Retreat. This retreat is for my sisters who are ready to rise, who are ready to go within, who are ready to connect in sacred community and heal together. This retreat is in Mexico, in the jungle, about 40 minutes outside of Cancun, and it is an intimate group of women 16 women plus myself and my co-facilitator, danielle, who is one of my closest friends. She's been on the podcast multiple times. She is also a coach, a psychic, a healer, a yoga teacher, a Reiki practitioner the list goes on and her and I are collaborating to bring this incredible retreat experience to you. So we have limited spots left and we also have limited pricing. Right now, we are about to increase the price up by about $500. So this is the time Apply, the application and all of the information on the retreat is in the show notes. It is December 11th.

We are doing sound healing, we are doing cacao, we are doing ecstatic dance, energy healing the list goes on.

So reach out to me for more information or just go directly to the link in the show notes to apply the Awakened Woman Retreat December 11th through the 17th of this year, 2024.
Speaker 1:The second quick update that I want to share is that we just launched our premier course. We have been calling it the journey from self-doubt to self-love in 30 days future with our courses, so go check that out in the show notes as well. This course is Hannah and my personal tools, tips, techniques that we have used to literally go from saddies okay, going out every Thursday, friday, saturday, sunday, drinking alcohol in order to feel like we could be any semblance of authentic, beating ourselves up in our minds, hating what we saw in the mirror and so much more to being confident, empowered women who are coaching other people to create their dream lives, entrepreneurs. So we have taken our formula and put it into this course, and nothing is skipped. Okay, we're going all in on childhood, how your subconscious mind is formed, all the way to daily self-love practices that you can bring into your life to literally change your life. It is incredible, so go check that out. It is 50% off right now. So go check that out. It is 50% off right now and, without further ado, let's get into today's topic.
Speaker 1:I am on a cozy Sunday vibe right now. I'm in a hoodie. I just got out of the shower. I did this beautiful yoga this morning at the beach and then a mermaid the end of my mermaid immersion retreat, and I loved it. It was one of the beautiful women here in Naples that facilitates a lot of women's circles that hosted this retreat and it was just so beautiful to go and receive, so shout out to her. Thank you so much, jen.
Speaker 1:And today I want to talk about past versions of ourselves and, as I'm reflecting on the full moon and all of this super powerful, potent, insane, charged energy that has been coming through our universe over the past I'm going to say month and a half I have had my shadows delivered to me on a silver platter. Girlies I have had my shadows rise to the surface, rear their heads, my ego, so many things, and I'm just starting now to integrate this. And I believe that this is really important for the collective to hear, and this is why I wanted to record this episode today and why I'm glad that I actually waited to record this, so that it was a moment that past patterns, behaviors, habits come up and as I have started to be on my journey of being a facilitator, being on my journey of being really in deeper soul connection to my purpose of being someone that brings more love to the world through coaching, healing and various modalities, I must shed some of the past layers of myself, and many of us must shed the past layers of ourselves in order to rise to our highest self, to rise to our potential, to rise to our truth, and this can feel really sticky and confusing and frustrating, and that's what I'm here to. And when we experience all of these things coming up about the past version of ourselves, we can get frustrated, and I think it can be frustrating. A little water break. I think it can be frustrating because, as women on a spiritual journey, we want to continue to go up and up and up and up and up, but we forget that healing is not a linear journey. Healing is not being at the bottom of the mountain and starting to climb and never having a moment of stopping and thinking. Am I going to make it Like? Think about that. If you are going to leave right now where you are and go embark on a journey, okay, and you're going to climb up a mountain and this is the hardest climb you have ever done. Do you think that you are going to float your way to the top or do you think that you are going to stop along the way and cry and be frustrated and wonder if you're going to make it and revert to self-doubt and maybe your fear is going to come up because you've never done something like this before? So that metaphor is really just meant to ground what I'm saying about healing not being a linear journey.
Speaker 1:And for myself, as I have watched all of these pieces of my ego and my shadows come to fruition, I have felt a lot of pain. I've felt a lot of what's the emotion? How do I even want to say the emotion? What is the, the word to voice it? I felt a lot of heaviness. I felt a lot of dense energy because it has made me doubt myself and where I am on my journey. And my highest self is in my ear as I say that, saying no, no, no, that's not true. You don't ever need to doubt yourself. Everything happens as it's meant to happen, everything unravels as it's meant to unravel, but it can be really easy to get off, pulled off that path of thinking. So I have been feeling like I'm not as far along as I think I am. I still have things that I need to figure out in my life before I can get to X, y and Z place to figure out in my life before I can get to X, y and Z place. And that has been coming up a lot in my head, and I feel that that is an experience that a lot of us are having in the collective right now of am I good enough to be where I am or am I good enough to continue to rise from where I currently am? And that is completely normal to experience that feeling.
Speaker 1:I have personally done so much work on my self-worth. I've done so much work to clear beliefs from the past. At the same time, that can be true, and it can also be true that things are going to come up, because things are meant to come up and more things need to be cleared and more things need to be worked through. So during this time of full moon that's where my mind is at is how can I work with this feeling that is coming up about the past versions of myself? And I'll get even more specific, and I believe that a lot of women can relate to this.
Speaker 1:So I have been on this deep journey of connecting to my divine feminine energy and this can be challenging for me sometimes because I live a very masculine, structured life. I have a lot of different things going on. I obviously have a podcast, mindfully Moody. Hannah and I are really putting a lot of intention and work behind this brand. I also am building my retreat business right now. I am building my coaching business. I am also taking over my family business that I am in person at at least four days a week, eight, nine hours a day. I also just got married and I have a multitude of things going on right now, right.
Speaker 1:So, because of this, it can be hard for me to stay in my feminine energy and, as I've been on this journey, I have recognized that I have a lot of things that come up from my masculine that are very wounded and very fearful. And again, I think a lot of us experience this of overreaction of I'm just laughing because I can just kind of, you know, be like, oh easy, breezy, and then something triggers me, like bam triggers me, and then I'm on to a different kind of behavior and this is such a trait of me in my masculine and I am really having that serve to me right now on a silver platter, and it's hard, and sometimes I want to look away and I want to be the victim and I want to blame someone else. I want to blame my partner, I want to blame a friend, I want to blame someone right, because that's what I've done in the past. That's what I've done in the past. It was always someone else's issue, it wasn't my issue. But now, as I am growing and I am seeing my true, authentic self, I see that this is a pattern of mine.
Speaker 1:So I invite you to reflect on the patterns that you may be experiencing from the past version of yourself right now. What are some of the things that you have coming up for you? Are there things that come up in your mind all the time that could be one sign, or is there something right now that is sticking out to you as I really want to change this in my life, or this is happening to me all the time in my life and it doesn't feel good anymore. I invite you to reflect on that. What is coming up in your life that doesn't feel good anymore and doesn't feel aligned For me. It doesn't feel aligned to react from my masculine, and it is something that I will need to continue to focus on. It is a practice. It is not something that I blink and overnight. I am in divine feminine flow every single moment of my life. Unfortunately, I would absolutely love that if that were the case, but unfortunately that is not the case, and that is okay, because this is clearly one of my biggest calls in my life is to balance my inner divine, masculine and feminine to a place where it feels good and it feels fulfilling and it feels easy to get back into balance, versus pushing away, pushing away my feminine, because my masculine needs to lead and I'm in control and all of these things. So invite that reflection into your life, especially over this full moon period.
Speaker 1:And I want to say a few more things about the past versions of ourselves, because I also feel that the collective right now needs to hear that you do not need to punish yourself for the actions of your past self. Your current self does not deserve to be punished for the actions of your past self. And what I mean by that is this the past versions of ourselves were doing the best that we could at the time with the tools that we had. Those tools could have been alcohol, drugs, sex, whatever. It could have been a multitude of things. Right, it could have been being mean to someone, doing something that isn't aligned with what your truth and authenticity is today, something that feels just really icky when you think back to it. Right, it could have been really what came to me when I said being mean to someone is being mean to yourself. It could have been punishing yourself for certain actions that you took that in reality, when you're thinking about your past version, you're like that wasn't even that big of a deal. Why did I spend so much time in my mind bullying myself for X, y and Z thing that didn't even need to have close to that much focus?
Speaker 1:So really inviting in forgiveness for the past version of yourself, inviting in acceptance for the past version of yourself, and if this is feeling really real to you, I definitely urge you to check out our course, the Self-Love Formula, because this is a big part of it and it is all about finding that acceptance, finding that neutrality with whatever happened that the past version of yourself participated in or didn't, was a passive or active participant in whatever you were holding onto onto that the past version of yourself was holding onto as well. It is time to clear that. It is time to let that go. It is time to let go of the patterns that are not serving us anymore, the habits that are not serving us anymore. That is another big thing that's coming through to me when I think and reflect on past versions of myself and the challenges that are just continuously coming up in my head all the time lately is that I want to separate from some of the habits of the past version of myself.
Speaker 1:Scrolling my phone is number freaking one, and I know that you all can relate to that, because I know this all goes on. This goes on in all of our heads of can I just get off my damn phone and do something that is more valuable to my time and can I get out of my own freaking way? Why can I not stop scrolling this damn phone? You may be even literally scrolling right now, as you're seeing this video on TikTok. I feel you Also. I have struggled with a lot of other past patterns and behaviors and things that I know I need to be cleared, so I'm inviting you as well to the reflection of what needs to be cleared right now out of your life what doesn't feel good, inviting that reflection again.
Speaker 1:And let me just take a minute right now to see what else is coming through before I end this episode. I'm really tuning in intuitively as we are recording lately to bring you the collective, the listeners, our sisters, our friends the most aligned messages possible possible. So the last thing that is coming through for me is what does the current version of you look like? And I ask that because this can detach you from the past versions of you, and what I mean by detach is really integrate and detach. You don't have to throw away the past version of you. They are valuable, they are lovable, they are worthy. However, what does the current version of you, the version of you with all of the tools that you have today, what does that version of you look like?
Speaker 1:Because, as we are releasing on this full moon, we are also then stepping into calling in as we end this full moon cycle and as we go over the next few weeks to the new moon, and we start to call in what is desirable for us, what feels good. So start getting ready for that time, start calling in what the current version of you wants, desires, and it doesn't have to be something as deep as going into a huge manifestation. I'm actually detaching a bit from manifestation lately. I feel like I've been doing a lot of manifestation work energy work. Over the past few months, especially just around Lionsgate, I closed a lot of loops and portals that I've been working in for a while now.
Speaker 1:But it can be something as simple as just showing up as that current version of you in X part of your life. It could be as simple as starting a new habit, a new routine, a new hobby, a new, whatever feels good to you in the current version of you. What does the current version of you crave? What are they looking for? So really getting into that frequency and that focus. That feels like a really good place to end this episode, if this resonated with you.
Speaker 1:I'm sending you so much love because we are in a similar place and that is how we, as a collective, communicate with each other. We are so often a mirror of what each other are going through and there is so much beauty and grace and understanding and compassion in that fact. So thank you for being a mirror to me. Thank you for listening to this episode, for being a part of our beautiful community that we are putting so much intention behind growing right now.
