The Secret Witch Show – Détails, épisodes et analyse

On the Secret Witch Show today our guest is Simone Stevens. Sim is an intuitive energy healer, Sekhem practitioner, Psychic medium and practising witch, who is dedicated to offering healing ceremonial sessions, treatments, ritual circles and workshops to guide the mystically and spiritually curious to find their innate magic and alignment. Sim focuses her work around connection to energy and spirit, be that of Spirit realms, plants, ancient energy healing practices, divination tools, sound or crystals. Sim believes that supporting clients to work more closely with their intuition is the portal to profound, positive, and aligned change in their lives.

In this episode we explored how to embrace magic and mystery and how to learn to trust our intuition - even when we are conditioned to mistrust it. We explored the common ‘Healers Journey’ of initiation into the mystery (often via burnout and panic attacks), and how us feeling disconnected from our true selves is often the way we are called into our gifts. We explored the importance of stillness, honouring the natural rhythms and cycles of our bodies - and even navigating mistrust of others in our ‘spirituality’ - to reclaim our innate magic. We dived into some practical steps of tuning into our ‘gut feelings’, and a deeper exploration of intuition versus ego - and the importance of self-compassion along the way.

What You’ll Learn from this Episode:

• For those who long to be healers, embracing magic and mystery is vital - though we can often have wounding and fear around trusting our intuition that wants to be healed for ourselves first

• The mundane world can lead us sensitive souls to manifest symptoms of burn out and panic attacks which can feel like ‘rock bottom’, even when we look like we’ve ‘got it all together’. These are actually a sign of a deeper call into our intuition and magical healing gifts - often these messy dark portals of mystery are catalysts for our deeper purpose - and a required part of the path

• It can be hard to open when we feel like this, and it is often in the moment where we think there’s no other choice that intuition kicks in. Staying curious helps us open more fully to trusting our intuition, begin to hear our body and open to our magic - it often requires us to ‘unlearn’ years of conditioning

• Practising stillness and carving our time for self-illumination are essential to help us tune unto our natural rhythms and intuition - and this can be cultivated with a practice Sim shares regarding listening to our ‘gut feeling’, to build our ‘intuitive muscle’

• The more we heal self-doubt of our magic and intuition, the more others meet us in that - it can be a common fear for the Secret Witch to think that others will judge her as a ‘lunatic’, but when we truly welcome our intuition, and magic, others can too

• It’s important to hear our intuition, and it’s taking aligned-action that actually heals - each time we act on synchronicities or inner nudges we are building trust in our intuitive voice

On the Secret Witch Show today, Nicole is discussing how to harness ‘universal laws’ of healing to become a healer. She explores the interesting intersection of science and magic, highlighting the importance of acknowledging universal laws and principles that are often overlooked by conventional scientific paradigms. The episode illuminates various healing laws - such as the Law of Similars, the Law of Direction of Cure, the Law of Potency, and the Law of Return of Old Symptoms, among others - stressing the importance of understanding these laws for true magical healing, rather than ‘quick fixes’.

In this episode we explore the importance of seeing that there are laws built into magic - and that true magical healing is an inside-out process grounded in universal truth. Nicole invites listeners to observe how these universal laws manifest in their own lives and the practice of healing, inspiring women to embrace their magical gifts and navigate the fear of their ‘magic’ with love - and the ‘unapologetic’ mysterious magic of Archetypal Remedy, Luna.

What You’ll Learn from this Episode:

• There are lots of Universal Laws and Principles of magic, which often get overlooked when magic is dismissed as ‘invalid’ by science’s ‘logical’ approach

• This can have magical women in fear about trusting their gifts - because often, magic is more intuitive and mysterious

• Yet science is beginning to catch up and recognise things that magic has explained for years - for example, homeopathic miasms can be defined by epigenetics now

• These universal laws are baked into magical healing, and teach us so much - for example,

• The Law of Similars explores why it is ‘us’ that is the medicine, rather than our ‘tools - because like cures like - people are activated by our story

• The Law of Direction of Cure explores that true healing works inner to outer, not by ‘fixing’ external symptoms

• The Law of Return of Old Symptoms explores why things can get worse before they get better - and why that’s a good thing!

• Overall, it’s really interesting to dive into these laws, and it’s important to walk a magical healing path that bakes these principles into it.

On the Secret Witch Show today, Nicole is exploring the sense of ‘overwhelm’ that can often be felt in knowing ‘where to start’ in the journey of opening to becoming a healer - especially with the amount of ‘quick fix’ false promises on offer, that can leave us disheartened.  She explores how you might know you are feeling the call to be a healer (even amidst the fears) - and how to get clarity on your next tender steps in your journey, helping you answering the question: “where do I begin?”

In this episode Nicole explores the most potent ‘Archetypal Apothecary’ resources that can help you begin to open to your gifts - inviting you to begin with our potent ‘Starter Pack’ which is packed with all the information you need to begin to access your own wisdom about how to become a healer from integrity and honesty.  She shares how to work with the ‘Illumination Workbook’ in particular, which provides a guide to self-illumination and self-discovery of 3 things that will help you get clarity to move forwards: your ‘Fears’ (what’s holding you back), your ‘Soul’s Vision’ (which should always be your ‘compass’) and your ‘Next Steps’ (what’s the next breadcrumb for you to follow) - whether that’s something in our path, or something else entirely.

What You’ll Learn from this Episode:

• It can so often be overwhelming when we begin to open to the journey of becoming a healer - there are so many opinions ‘out there’, externally, as to where to begin - including many ‘quick fix’ promises, that heart-breakingly often leave us feeling disappointed

• And yet, the most potent place to begin is by accessing your own wisdom; via self-illumination and self-discovery (one of the 8 Elements of our path) which can help you begin to heal yourself

• The Archetypal Apothecary ‘Starter Kit’ and ‘Illumination Workbook’ are the resources that guide you into the 3 potent explorations of your ‘Fears’ (what holds you back), your ‘Soul Vision’ (which becomes your compass) and offers clarity on your ‘Next Steps’ (the next breadcrumb you’re being called to take)

• If you don’t know where to begin, start there - there’s so much gold in this resource; it’s not like your average ‘free’ resource; we put *everything* we possibly can into our free resources (just as we would a paid journey), and there’s hundreds of pounds worth of value in them

• The invitation is to not rush your journey with the Starter Pack and Illumination Workbook - there’s gold in these resources that’s been intentionally designed as the tender first steps, but they won’t be a ‘quick fix’, they do require you to take some time working through the potent enquiries, practices and rituals in there for you

On the Secret Witch Show today our guest is Loren Cellentani. Loren used to feel like a victim to her body and emotions sabotaging her dreams. It led her to deeply listen and work with the body to uncover how to harness life force energy, process emotions & alchemise her pain into power - all through breathwork, somatic movement and visualization. Her mission is to help lightworkers get out of their heads and into their bodies so they can fulfil their purpose and potential in this lifetime. Loren guides women to own their power, rule their reality and live their purpose in her group program, Sovereign Mastermind, and her podcast, Witchy Wellness Radio.

In this episode Loren and I co-create around so many synergies in our worldview; in particular, the importance of embodiment.  Exploring ‘somatic movement’ as an embodiment practice for ‘moving’ our emotions and discovering the hidden patterns held in our cells, Loren explored how our inner little girl carried old stories in her body - and that to truly ‘rule our reality’, we need to alchemise these and embody who we long to become - harnessing movement for both things.  We spoke about the importance of connecting to our emotions and healing via movement - with Loren offering some very practical tools and tips for beginning to work with it and what practices to get started with.  

What You’ll Learn from this Episode:

• The etymology of ‘somatic’ means the ‘body’ - and the body feels emotion - or ‘energy in motion’.  We harness movement to combine the two - to move energy, to heal, to manifest our desires - and to do that, we have to get out of our own way (out of our mind into our body)

• We are not ‘victims’ to our bodies - our bodies are not ‘in the way’, they are ‘the most spiritual thing about us’ - they act as an ‘alarm system’ saying “this is not for you” (or “this *is* for you”).  And our bodies want to heal

• The true definition of “Sovereign”, according to Loren,  is the “Divine right to rule our reality” - and every moment we have the opportunity to own the gold that can be found in our wounds, when we are courageous enough to go into the body and alchemise the energy in there into our Sovereign power

• Our menstrual cycle is powerful - our bodies show us, via our cycle, where we have avoided looking at things for the month - even small things. When we give our bodies grace, love them and let them guide us , and learn to trust them, we are able to manifest what we truly desire

• It doesn’t have to be scary - we just take the next small step, and the next - beginning to tune into our bodies - until the big decisions eventually become the next small step too

• Somatic movement can be anything that moves the body - it can be yoga, ecstatic dance, working out, going for a run, slow dancing - but essentially it’s anything where we are ‘making love’ to our bodies - and it doesn’t have to be in a sexual way, but a ‘sensual’ way, where we are present with our body’s senses  

• We can begin with a simple exercise of asking “how does my body want to move?” and notice if you were judging yourself, or feeling resistance, and loving yourself in that, and letting the body lead the way.

• We can work with embodiment in two ways - both for processing wounding and also for embodying the woman we long to become.

On the Secret Witch Show today, Nicole is speaking to one of the common fears that comes up for aspiring healers: the deep fears of ‘absorbing other’s energy’ and ‘burning out’ that often stop women from fully stepping into the journey of becoming a healer - thinking that they’re ‘too sensitive’ for it.  

In this episode Nicole discusses how women born to be ‘healers’ are born with a deep natural sensitivity, and what this really means for them, exploring the birth constitution (or make up) of a ‘healer’.  She explores a way of working with reclaiming the deep self-honouring that’s required - and the capacity to hold inner boundaries - in order to reclaim our gifts without burning out and taking on others’ energy.  She also explores the one deeper underlying fear that often stops us fully self-honouring and protecting our energy.

What You’ll Learn from this Episode:

• ‘Sensitivity’ is one of the things that most aspiring healers - who are constitutionally ‘Archetypal Phosphorus’ - shame about themselves, and fear will stop them becoming healers - yet it also holds a deep gift; without sensitivity, we wouldn’t *be* healers

• To begin healing this ‘Surface Layer’ wound of sensitive, ‘Phosphoric’ women - and to stop absorbing energy and burning out - we need to work with the Archetypal Remedy, ‘She-Wolf’ (or Lupa); and especially the Motherly energy of the milk of the She-Wolf, which is about reclaiming our inner wildness and honouring our inner-boundaries (in a nurturing way, from love)

• We will often fear our ‘inner wild’ will be rejected as ‘too much’, ‘too wild’, or be ‘disapproved of’ or ‘judged’, and so we - as sensitive women - often deny our *true* needs and burn ourselves into the ground; and it’s at that point where other people’s energy will feel too much

• Other people are only ever acting as mirrors for aspects of ourselves that want reclaiming; if we learn to receive ‘triggers’ from others ‘taking our energy’ as a call to honour our true needs as sensitive women, we can, too, heal and open to reclaiming our gifts as healers

• Outer-boundaries are often set 'first, and then we get upset when they are ‘dishonoured’ by others - yet, the really deep work is to learn to ‘honour’ our own ‘inner boundaries’ for ourselves’ the world shifts as we do, energetically

• The work is to begin to hear our wild ‘inner No’, so that we can then begin to open to our true deep ‘Yes’ to the desire and vision of becoming the healer we were born to be; otherwise, we *will* end up burning out, pleasing everyone and taking on everything from everyone else.

On the Secret Witch Show today our guest is Shanti Zimmerman. Shanti described herself as “a human, just like you”.  She has learned how to navigate being human with deep integrity, clarity, and a focus on growth and real life. She has complex and compound trauma from her childhood that, for a portion of her life, made it hard to be alive. The work that she facilitates is based on how she found her way to a life worth living.  She had a whole lot to unlearn and a ton of adult skill-sets she had to develop and practice and she shares everything she knows from her lived experience. She believes that liberation is our natural default setting as human beings and she contributes to it in every moment of her life.

In this episode we explore the notion of ‘healing’ and the language around it - and especially how we don’t need to outsource our power to ‘quick fixes’, but if we learn to deconstruct blame, shame and guilt, we can learn to embody our adulthood, make new choices and embody deep self-trust.  Shanti describes blame, shame and guilt as “synthetic” constructs - “behaviour controllers”  that are not our innate natural emotions - and narratives that invoke emotional response, or a ‘habit’ that creates somatic response in our bodies - exploring how it is possible we can alchemise shame and radically refuse to engage with our self-oppression.

What You’ll Learn from this Episode:

• Blame, shame and guilt are the foundational ‘root’ of other ‘synthetic’ emotions that feel awful in our bodies - that’s usually how we know we are experiencing them

• Yet, blame, shame and guilt are not ‘natural’ emotions to us as human beings; they’re what we’ve been taught and conditioned into

• We each have our own ‘inner Gollum’ who helps us actively engage in these shame habits by beating ourselves up - yet we would never dream of speaking to others in this way, and our innate self wouldn’t think like that

• We didn’t do it to ourselves; shame was usually done to us, but as *soon* as we become ‘aware’ of that, we can no longer say that because we are beginning to do it to ourselves - and now, we have a new choice

• The deconstruction of these ‘unnatural’ emotions requires us to become curious and open to more awareness.  From there, we can choose to grow into adulthood and begin to take radical care of ourselves - from the inside - most often we have an “adolescent mind-frame” (because we’ve learned to, innocently) - as we grow in awareness we can begin to say “no, thank you”

• As aspiring ‘healers’ - real healers - it is so important that we embody healing shame and embody what we are teaching for ourselves first (or be in the practice of) - we need to feel absolutely 100% in our own bodies with lived experience of being grounded in that role.

In this unique, ‘experiential’ episode, Nicole mixes up the format, sharing the signs we are being called into our power as a healer, hosting a little bit of a ‘workshop’ around the ‘Drama Triangle’ to help you illuminate the 3 ways you might be leaking your power (because Secret Witches often innocently misuse their power to create drama).  She explores how Archetypal Aurum (the essence of ‘Gold’, and universal symbol of ‘power’) can help, guiding you in a ritualistic and ceremonial journey with Aurum’s Archetypal Remedy to help you begin to activate and reclaim your inner Feminine soft-power, to become a healer.  Disclaimer: there’s healing activation in this one - listen only if you’re ready!

What You’ll Learn from this Episode:

• There are some key wounds we struggle with as aspiring healers - and this is a normal part of the journey of becoming a healer - one of those wounds we need to heal is reclaiming our power

• Often we have missed our initiation into Feminine power - which traditionally happened at first bleed, in ancient times - and along with that, we don’t get to choose into being an adult woman

• This leaves us trapped on the Drama Triangle as a little girl in a woman’s body, never knowing our power to choose ‘off’ the triangle and create from Feminine soft-power - or womb wisdom and our heart-led, soul-led truth

• Self-illumination is key to that initiation - and in particular, self-illuminating where we are on the ‘Drama Triangle’ - i.e. in ‘victim, persecutor or rescuer’ - holds gold to be reclaimed in honestly looking here

• The power centre of women is in our hearts and wombs - only we often don’t let those Feminine power-centres lead; because we are used to a ‘Masculine powered’ way of being - and in that way, we armour up

• When we learn to love our little girl and enter an initiation to reclaim our Feminine soft-power, that’s when we can step off the Drama Triangle, and become the healers we were born to be - also having improved relationships, and living magical lives, all round.

On the Secret Witch Show today our guest is Lian Brook-Tyler. Lian is one of my own long-standing, trusted guides - she’s a shamanic healer, teacher of wild magic, podcaster and co-founder of Waking The Wild. Her mythical journey truly began when she was ruptured open to Spirit with the sudden death of her father – which led to her mysteriously recovering from 15 years of chronic pain, panic attacks and anxiety. That inexplicable transformation inspired her to leave a leadership role in the corporate world to immerse herself in discovering what creates pain and struggle, and conversely, how to create a life overflowing with love, magic, beauty and truth.

In this episode we explore the crucial work of soul and sovereignty through the lens of ‘parenting.’  We dive into the common challenges that many women face around parenting children who can be often be experienced and labelled as ‘sensitive’, ‘different’ or ‘challenging’ in some way - perhaps also labelled as ‘neurodivergent - and how we can navigate this when we ourselves are sensitive (and possibly neurodivergent) ourselves.  We explored how parents of the ‘sensitive young souls’ of the world often heartbreakingly feel like ‘bad mums’, and what we really mean by ‘sensitivity’, how it is actually a superpower rather than a disadvantage - and how we can begin to parent from our power, meeting everyone’s needs and modelling a new way of love and understanding.

What You’ll Learn from this Episode:

• We can often judge ourselves as “bad mothers”, yet what this really means is we are feeling “my children are not behaving in a way that my family, culture or school deems is an okay way to behave” - we are actually making ourselves and our children wrong for something that is a neutral difference (or ‘divergence’) to the cultural norm

• If we look at indigenous cultures, we can see we are all innately wired to be sensitive. Humans weren’t born for the modern world and its bright lights, smells, chemicals, electricity, devices - and so we learn to close down, to even just function

• If we have been raised in a culture that has us try and fit nicely into a system where we follow the rules, we will value ‘fitting in,’ and it will require us to heal those wounds and free ourselves from the conditioning to welcome these sensitive aspects of ourselves and our children, and free ourselves from judgement

• The things we think are our ‘problems’ are actually literal gifts.  Those wounds and gifts will be different for everyone, depending on what our soul is here for, but, for example, Lian’s sensitivity to what’s going on and her heightened awareness to spirit, was a gift as she was here to be a shaman.  Sensitivity is a gift if we are here to be healers

• To parent powerfully, we need to know and honour our boundaries - without that we won’t be able to parent - at least not in a conducive and sustainable way. Yet, that’s been made culturally wrong, too.  We’re told we should be “access all areas” to our children and not have time to ourselves - that we shouldn’t have needs - and it takes deep healing to recognise we need boundaries in place

• Powerful parenting requires leadership - which needs us to look sovereignly at what’s right for us as parents, and what’s right for our children, and make powerful aligned choices.

On the Secret Witch Show today, Nicole is speaking to one of the common patterns of the many sensitive souls who were born here with healing gifts: people-pleasing.  Exploring how people-pleasing is almost a ‘sign’ of being a healer, she dives into the fears and patterns beyond people-pleasing, and how self-illumination is a powerful tool to help women begin to heal themselves of this wound.

In this episode Nicole explores how and why our culture has had us learn to run around looking after everyone else first, along with the importance of self-healing inner work around people-pleasing - and especially why it’s one of the most important patterns to liberate if you’re wanting to help others heal themselves.  And, why vulnerability is the key to it all!

What You’ll Learn from this Episode:

• People pleasing is often a sign of being a healer - because healers commonly want to ‘help’ people

• It’s also a wounded pattern, learned in childhood - possibly when our own needs weren’t met, and we shamed our own needs, and learned to put them last

• We leak our true healing power by people pleasing - especially if we are here to be healers of others - often we will go into ‘rescuer’ mode 

• Loving self-illumination is the key to beginning to heal this pattern - noticing what’s underneath our automatic unconscious way of relating in the world this way is really powerful to help us begin to liberate ourselves

• The other important thing in reclaiming our ‘inner people-pleaser’ is learning to show up vulnerably and share our truth and our own needs.  The Feminine expresses her feelings, rather than rebelling and being a tyrant who sets hard outer boundaries.  It’s our energetic ‘inner boundaries’ that matter most.

• If we don’t heal this wounding, we will end up ‘quick fixing’ people, instead of allowing people who come to us for healing to experience their own healing initiations and reclaim their gold

On the Secret Witch Show today our guest is Dr. Stephania Sciamano. Stephania is a doctor, metaphysical specialist, and awakening mentor to high-achieving women. She specialises in helping successful women open wide to receive at their highest potential, but in a way that is good for the feminine body. Stephania’s protocols are simple, elegant, and powerful. Her clients lose the anxiety and the body dips, create a more spacious life, begin a love affair with their Divinity, become sexy again to their partners and themselves, and watch life come to them like a ravenous lover.

In this episode we explored how the modern woman innocently exhausts and depletes herself by trying to keep up with men, in a culture that is so oriented towards ‘success’ and ‘goals’, and Stephania explained the impact of this on our hormones and our Feminine bodies - which are coded differently to men’s.  We dived into how the secret to wealth - in all areas of wealth: Money, Love, Life-force, Spirit and Freedom - is to learn to attune to our Feminine body and hormones, and reclaim all the ‘clairs’ (our senses) so we can physiologically soften and open to receive abundance.

What You’ll Learn from this Episode:

• Women learn culturally to operate from a logic-based paradigm, when they are really built to be in their bodies - logic dries women out

• When we push, push, push and are ‘goal’ oriented, as women in Feminine bodies, everything becomes very high adrenaline and cortisol and we become impulsive, irritable, exhausted, anxious and depleted 

• These hormones compete with our Feminine progesterone hormone biochemically, which helps us align with our natural Feminine cycles and soften and open (dilate) to being more receptive - and this competition needs to be healed, for us to receive our heart’s desires

• There are some simple and practical things that we can do to improve our hormones - which Stephania dived into in the show - including more sunlight and less blue light, more protein in the morning, incorporating healthy carbs for evening meals and integrating electrolytes - which can make a difference in even 3 days

• These simple and natural swaps - like going out in the sunshine first thing, instead of being on our phones - can often be a challenge in a world where we are used to ‘quick fixes’ where we just go and get more supplements, but they are important for our hormones - and our wealth

• The true secret to wealth - in all areas of wealth: Money, Love, Life-force, Spirit and Freedom - is to learn to attune to our Feminine body and hormones, and reclaim all the ‘clairs’ (our senses) so we can physiologically soften and open to receive abundance
