Hi, I’m Sara Rae. And there’s nothing else remarkable to add (what a relief).

It’s not a rebrand, it’s personal growth.

Good morning, friends. I hope all is well with you.

We’re not exactly strangers—we’ve been chatting for some years now. But things are changing all around us, and within us. Today is the day we talk about some of those changes.

Let’s start with the absolute basics. I’m Sara Rae, a working mom and wife living an ordinary life in the midwestern United States.

I’ve been blogging and podcasting online for a decade. That was my “side hustle,” if you will. I created hundreds of hours’ worth of audio and video content. I’ve written thousands of words and published them online. I’ve taken and edited hundreds of photos and shared them everywhere I can.

That’s how you and I met each other! The Universe converged in such a way that our wifi signals crossed. Probably because you were interested in aspects of spirituality, New Age manifesting, and all things related to vibrations. That’s the good shit, right there.

Changes are unfolding now, and I don’t want to leave you in the dark. You’ve probably noticed that no new podcasts have come out in a while. And the uploading scheduled before that was inconsistent, to put it mildly.

Everything I had built became so unaligned that I simply could not move forward. I put out one last heartfelt episode in mid-June 2025 before going on a soul-searching hiatus.

I also made the choice to disband my donation-based membership platform. Where kind souls choose to donate monthly to patronize the Spiritually Inspired podcast and keep it running. Those members also had access to a butt-load of bonus content. Nearly 100 guided reiki meditations and personalized monthly tarot card readings for each individual member for over two years.

That was a tough decision, not just because it meant cutting off a “stream of income,” but also because it meant going back on promises I made to some of my most loyal listeners and clients.

Ultimately, that’s how we ended up here, on a blog like it’s 2012. *angelic choir harmonizing*

It may have been a hard decision and messy to execute, but it was the right decision. And now, this is my latest piece of brand-new original content since this transformation has taken place.

And it’s serving a few specific purposes:

Update those who want to know but may have missed it
Reintroduce myself as a writer
Make my intentions clear

Spiritually Inspired is/was a labor of love. I intend to continue to share the messages of manifesting, mindfulness, and magic here on this new platform.

I’ll be honest, friends—if you’ve been with me for a while, some of it may be repeat content.

I hope you can understand how much effort I’ve put into all that content, and forgive my choice to simply reshare it in a new light.

Every single episode of the Spiritually Inspired podcast (of which there are nearly 300 in total) was lovingly scripted, recorded, and edited before being deemed worthy of upload.

And most of the content itself is “evergreen,” meaning it won’t go out of date any time soon. So consider going back and re-listening to your favorite episodes. I mean, we all rewatch the same TV shows and movies, right? Is a podcast any different?

That’s something I’ve been working on for the last few months, personally. Intentionally consuming less media by revisiting media I’ve once loved. Re-reading books, re-watching shows, re-downloading podcasts. I don’t want the overconsumption culture to seep into what I consume for entertainment.

Plus, I simply cannot keep up the production schedule demanded by the algorithms. And I know for a fact I am not the only creator who feels this way. It’s a civil service to go back and re-consume your favorite media. That way, the artists finally get a break.

When I pick up the podcasting microphone again, it will be mind-blowing. I can feel it cooking just beneath the surface, but it’s not done yet.

In the meantime, everything I share from the Spiritually Inspired archives on Substack is intended to teach you how to manifest your goals, practice mindfulness, and explore things more deeply. Including:

The truth about manifesting – how to achieve goals with the help of the Universe
Paying closer attention to everything going on around you – and within you
Connecting with something greater than yourself in the most loving and magical way possible

Thank you for being here, for giving me the space to grow, and I hope you’ll stick around to see what unfolds.

Sara Rae 🌻
