This week I am joined by astrologer Nadia Diamante. Nadia is an ethical hedonist, sapphic queer with an irreverent and wild spirit and a love for all people of all identities. She gives us an astro update and explains how she incorporates asteroids and mythology into her work. Nadia is hilarious and obsessed with Gen Z-ers. Throughout the conversation Nadia queers astrology forcing us to question the white male gaze that has been fed to us for centuries. She finishes the convo explaining how to find asteroids in your own chart and encourages all of us to do our own astrology research. Tune into get your astro report.

This week I share why grief is at the very bottom of every core wound and trauma we’ve experienced. Grief does not like to be touched. She loves to be by herself. But when you find her she’s got a lot of valuable things to say in order to heal. I get to the story of grief by way of perfectionism. It’s a personal share of how I’ve honed my perfectionistic tendencies throughout my life. I share how it showed up in ballet, my nonprofit career, body shaming, and ruminating on convos. At the very bottom of my perfectionism is the desire to be loved and with that is a lot of grief for every moment I didn’t receive it. So buckle up! It’s a funny one.

We cover reparenting, immersing ourselves in secure environments, and the five pillars of secure attachment. She shares recommended somatic practices to feel safe enough in the body in order to be more vulnerable in relationships. Basically it all comes back to SAFETY!

Today I chat with Galactic Seer, Beth Kiacz. She shares how she helps clients develop their own relationship with channeling and spirit guides. She has an earned-secure attachment style recovering from fearful-avoidant as a child. Channeling and communing with her spirit guides have really helped her develop trust and ease anxiety in her body. Which are the two most important things for fearful avoidants to heal. We go further into how to stop people-pleasing and why ancestors like to hang out in our throat chakra. I thoroughly enjoyed gabbing with Beth it was a delightful convo.

Today I am joined by shadow work coach Rachael Besser and Lesley Stevens. We happened to attend the same networking event and all came down with COVID at the same time. We share how we all got through it together. We get into the details of how it affected each of us differently, what tv shows got us through the week, and what we learned from the experience. This is no way medical advice. Not at all. No way, not here. We like to leave the medical advice up to the professionals. But it is a hilarious and heartwarming recounting of our experiences.

Today’s episode is all about habits with holistic health coach, event designer, and hatha yoga instructor Livia Marati of Ina Wellness Collective in Guam. She shares what helps drive healthy habits and the motivation to keep them. My favorite part was her sharing about her morning routine which involves the simple steps of lighting incense and putting on music. Habits don’t have to be over the top and complicated. They simply must inspire joy. Simple. Easy peasy. We finish the conversation by talking about how seasons affect habits and how to work with them instead of against them. This includes all seasons including the calendar year, menstrual cycle, and the moon phases.  Follow Livia Marati on Instagram: (@inawellnesscollectiveguam) Visit Livia Marati’s website: (www.inawellnesscollective.com) Follow Lit AF on Instagram: (@itsmesarahcohan.com) Visit the Lit AF Website: ( you so much for listening.

Today I share about the art of receiving feedback. It took me a long time to understand that feedback actually comes from a supportive place. People that give you feedback want you to succeed and they are making a real effort to share this information with you. In this episode, I share my favorite framework to give and receive feedback. I learned this during a meeting facilitation training from Sarah Fisk at Community At Work.  I’ve always wanted to practice this feedback framework but it took a few years to find the right community to do it with. I share how I used this framework during a recent work retreat. It was such an amazing helpful tool. Giving and receiving feedback helps to clear the air with teams so you can work as a cohesive team where everyone’s needs are heard and met. Listen to the episode to understand the full feedback framework. Follow Lit AF on Instagram: (@itsmesarahcohan.com) Visit the Lit AF Website: ( At Work website: ( you so much for listening.

Gabby is a Women’s Life Coach who focuses on guiding women from being the backup dancers to the Beyoncé of their lives. She has been through it and she shares her rock bottom in this episode. I really enjoyed talking with her about the important topics like codependency, self-love, and turning inward when patterns start to occur. The word “hard” came up a lot during the interview and I really appreciate it. Because this work is not average. It’s certainly not easy. And I have found that the most rewarding things in my life come with doing something hard. And oftentimes the hard becomes easy as I get better at it.

This week we are talking about womanhood with the hosts of Cycle Chats podcast, Emily and Stephanie. They are a hilarious and down-to-earth duo that want to destigmatize being a woman. They share about how they met over pink lipstick and the inspiration behind their podcast. We talk about the biggest things that have integrated as woman including coming out as queer and overcoming abusive relationships. We finish with rapid-fire questions about their favorite body part, their favorite menstrual phase, and what keeps them going when things get tough.

Shaleahia goes deep sharing her own story about overcoming people-pleasing. We talk about her upbringing, recent relationships, her spirituality, and her past career as a sex worker.

It’s official. I’m pregnant. And these first four months have been a wild ride. From excitement to fear to nausea, I’ve felt it all. I recorded a few clips at different points in my pregnancy and put them all together for this episode. Join me during my giddy first week where I share how I told my husband the news. And my 8th week when nausea set in with a serious bout of vertigo. And again after my 12th week ultrasound where I discovered that I was still pregnant. It’s been a wild ride and I’m processing the grief of my miscarriage last year at each step of the way.   Follow Lit AF on Instagram: (@itsmesarahcohan.com) Visit the Lit AF Website: ( you so much for listening.

This week we’re spilling all the tea about sobriety with Ari Eastman. She is the host of the Sobrietea podcast. And she shares all the nitty-gritty about getting sober and what life is like on the other side. I haven’t spoken too much about my sobriety on the podcast. Not because I’m hiding it but because it has become so second nature to my life. We talk about the hangover shame cycle, the addiction cycle of alcohol, and the many benefits of living a sober life.

Today we celebrate the gifts of an insecure attachment style. At the beginning of my healing journey, I used any new tool or framework including attachment theory as a way to guilt and shame myself for not being perfect or secure. It was yet another model that proved I wasn’t worthy. At the time I was unconsciously stuck in a guilt and shame addiction cycle. I used to think this guilt and shame helped me be a better person. Now I realize it was just old programming and that there are actually several gifts that come from being an insecure attachment type. I won’t give them all away here. You’ll just have to listen to learn what they are. And I hope it helps you celebrate your previous insecure attachment type.

Today is an especially hilarious episode with human design reader Jasmine Kenna. We go deep on the Human Design manifesting generator energy type. We compare our very different energetic realities with my energetic type being a projector. She shares about subliminal audios that she creates to rewrite new beliefs in the brain. Her work is THE definition of manifestation. She shares about the realities of parenting using human design as she has her own design experiment going on with a manifestor, projector, and generator under her roof.
