S7 E2: Why shadow work keeps you stuck (and what to do instead)
Most of the ways you've been taught to do shadow work will actually keep you stuck in the same old loops for years on end. You journal, you reflect, you pull tarot cards, you analyze your astrology chart — but nothing in your real life actually changes.Even when you have a lot of self-awareness and understand where your shadows come from, if you're approaching this work only intellectually, and not moving your shadows out of your body or making changes in your real daily life... you're going to stay stuck. In this episode, you’ll discover why that happens — and what to do instead.You’ll learn:✨ The three phases of shadow work (and why you get trapped in phase two of understanding)✨ Why awareness and understanding aren’t enough to shift your subconscious patterns✨ How to reclaim your shadows instead of trying to fix or heal yourselfI’ll also share my own stories of reclaiming shadows like anger, anxiety, and “neediness” in my relationships — and how you can do the same in your own life.💫 If you’re ready to stop looping on the same shadows and finally take your power back, join me inside The Reclamation — my 8-week immersive program to reclaim your shadows, liberate your power, and live with unapologetic purpose + pleasure.

S6 E14: Leaning into feminine energy with Afura Nefertiti
In this episode, I'm joined by Afura Nefertiti who is a returning guest and a long-time friend and fellow witch. Afura and I are discussing her shift towards working more with feminine energy and how the masculine structures and systems she's worked with in the past still serve her... but are no longer her most important focus in her life or spiritual practice. She shares about how she is opening up to receive more rest, support, and creative expression and talks about how our patriarchal society overvalues productivity.Learn more about the topic of feminine versus masculine energy - which is present in all of us, regardless of gender - during Afura's presentation in The Goddess Within Summit, a free virtual event happening April 28-30, 2025.

S6 E13: Pleasure, power, and the goddess within - my journey to coming out as a poly bi witch
In this episode, I'm sharing my very personal stories of coming out as a witch, as polyamorous, and as bisexual - and how each new layer of authenticity that I've uncovered has led me closer and closer to the goddess within. We're talking about what goddess work is - and what it isn't. Did you know that you can practice goddess work... without every worshipping or even working with a goddess directly? You absolutely CAN and I'm sharing lots of ideas for rituals to help you connect with goddess energy, including my own personal goddess practices. But what goddess work is truly about is softening into beauty, opening your heart to receiving, releasing shame around pleasure and rest, and honoring your truest desires and authentic self. ---You'll learn all about these topics, how to work with specific goddesses, and reconnecting to pleasure without shame at the free Goddess Within Summit, happening April 28-30, 2025!
