The Embracing Magick Podcast

In this episode of Embracing Magick, Toni and Lizzy sit down for an honest conversation about finding hope when life feels overwhelming.

From burnout, exhaustion and difficult world events to emotional heaviness and disconnection from practice, they explore how witchcraft can gently support you through darker seasons. Not as escapism, but as grounding. As presence. As a way to stay connected to yourself, your body and your community.

Together they talk about small daily rituals, tending your inner flame, working with the seasons, managing anger and grief, and how simple practices like candle work, journaling, nature connection and sharing circles can help you stay steady when everything feels uncertain.

This episode is for anyone who feels tired, lost or spiritually disconnected and wants practical, meaningful ways to reconnect with their craft and themselves.

Disclaimer: This episode reflects our personal experiences and perspectives and is shared for conversation and reflection, not as medical or mental health advice. Everyone’s healing journey is different and if you are navigating mental health challenges, seeking support from a qualified professional should always be your first point of call.

In this episode, Steph and Toni are joined by Lenna to explore why so many people are being drawn towards witchcraft, plant medicine, embodiment and alternative ways of healing and why awakening is rarely the gentle, blissful experience it’s often portrayed as.

This is an honest wide-ranging conversation about collective and personal trauma, nervous system regulation, healing culture and the dangers of quick-fix spirituality. Lenna shares her journey into witchcraft, her experience of plant medicine and the long process of integration that followed, alongside a grounded discussion on trauma-informed practice, embodiment and learning to listen to the body.

We talk about nature as teacher, the role of ritual and seasonality, the impact of collective events on awakening and why healing is not about bypassing discomfort but learning to move slowly, safely and with self-responsibility.

This episode is for anyone who has felt unsettled after an awakening, unsure where they fit, or wary of labels and spiritual trends. It’s a reminder that healing is individual, nonlinear and deeply human.

In this episode, Steph and Lizzy sit down with Daisy and Rebecca, co-creators of COVEN: The Musical - a powerful new show inspired by the women accused during the Pendle Witch Trials.

Together, they discuss the history that shaped the show, the challenges of giving a voice to the forgotten and how theatre and music can reclaim stories long overshadowed by fear and persecution. COVEN explores power, sisterhood and the enduring resonance of those labelled as witches.

A huge thank you to Daisy and Rebecca for joining us and to the Kiln Theatre for this exciting collaboration.
