What if the moments that break us open are the same ones that reveal our deepest creative power?
In this episode, I sit down with Sarah Carter and Corinne Shark, authors of The Skies Are Full of Us and hosts of the Spiritual Pyros podcast, for a luminous conversation about the arc of life we all travel — ruin, rise, and return.
We talk about the courage it takes to tell our stories honestly, how their own creative process became a dambreaker for healing and expression, and how each of us has the ability to transmute hurt and harm into creative energy — the kind that fuels Good Work in the world.
If you've ever wondered how to alchemize pain into purpose or turn your own story into a force for connection and light, this conversation will remind you that wholeness isn't about perfection — it's about returning to yourself, over and over again.
MORE ABOUT CORINNE AND SARAH:
Corinne Shark is a storyteller, dreamer, and wild soul forever in search of adventure. Her writing is equal parts anthem and memoir fueled by the glow of honesty and the power of women finding each other by finding their own voice. As a recovering rule-follower who exchanged her death-grip on certainty to return to the wide-open wandering of her Arizona desert, she has deep convictions about what constitutes a good taco, stopping for sunsets, and always needs more ice. She is forever sending up flares and lighting bonfires on the bluff for women telling the truth about their lives - even if only a whisper, even if only to themselves. Sarah Carter is a writer, poet, and artist. Her writing explores the evocative dynamic between poetry and life, creatively braiding story, memoir, and myth into a language of holistic embodiment, and feminine empowerment. She grew up on an Arizona horse ranch and spent most days stowed away under giant Mesquite trees, imagining adventures and losing track of time. Now, she resides near a wildlife preserve outside Chicago, writing stories, riding horses, hiking with her dogs, creating abstract paintings in her studio, and hanging with loved ones. She still loves the desert and always stands barefoot under a full moon. Nothing makes her happier than witnessing women reclaim their worth and return home to themselves.
