Fast-Tracked Intimacy, Love Bombing, and Spiritual Manipulation: Toxic Feminine Energy Men and the Cases of Wizard Liz and Aubrey Marcus | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 213

In this episode, I give my analysis of two recent massive blow-ups in the spiritual wellness and self help influencer space: femininity teacher Wizard Liz' husband cheating on her while she was 4 months pregnant, and self-styled wellness 'guru' Aubrey Marcus basically forcing his gorgeous yet miserable wife into a throuple situation. You may think this is irrelevant to you; maybe it is - I myself had never heard of any of these people before last week. However, there are some interesting similarities here between these stories, the most troubling of which (to anyone who is spiritually minded) is how both of these men used spirituality in predatory ways to manipulate the women in question.

Marcus claimed the Goddess Isis told him to impregnate both women; Liz' husband said he was 'spiritually guided' to 'run into her' at an airport. Both men use spirituality to manipulate, and both men are really good examples of what I'd refer to as a toxic, wounded feminine energy. They manipulate, and are unable or unwilling to occupy healthy masculine energy which - above all - protects and contains.

For many these two scenarios seemed surprising or out of character, but in this episode I explain some red flags in these men, and failures of the women involved, that all can learn from, especially women who are dating men, or women who are in relationships where they feel coerced to allow indiscretions.

I analyze the situation in terms of energetic polarity and healthy/unhealthy feminine energy, and discuss the difference between parroting spiritual/mental health teachings, and actually being able to embody the knowledge we as influencers espouse. I also discuss how these relationships were prematurely escalated with love bombing and false intimacy, and how you can learn from these situations to avoid ending up in something similar yourself.

Hockey, Sports, and Healthy Stress | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 210

In this episode, I try to convince everyone to watch sports! Our bodies love to experience stress, and if we don't have a curated, intentional, time-bounded place to release and feel stress, we are much more likely to create drama in our lives and make mountains out of molehills. People stir the pot when they don't have a place to express that energy. There are so many reasons I feel all spiritually minded, witchy folks should engage with sports, and this is one of the many reasons why. Witchcraft and magic can be about changing consciousness at will, and the rising of healthy 'stress' energy can also be something we can direct towards an end goal, magically. Even if you're not a sports girly (as many witches are not, lol), I'd recommend giving this a listen - I just might change your mind!

Don’t Let Just Anyone Heal You | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 144

In this age of the internet and global connection, it’s common for DMs to be slid into by random ass people we may never have heard of. It may be tempting to see these messages as signs from god/spirit/whatever, especially when they talk about “divine channelling” and “downloads” and “I was told YOU NEED ME TO HEAL YOU” - it can be easy to be swept up if we are in a vulnerable place. However, most of these people are fucking crazy - either mentally unwell or simply scammers. Unfortunately both are equally likely and so discernment of who we allow into our energetic space to “heal” us is of the utmost importance. In this episode I talk about this problem so rampant as it is in the larger spiritual community, and some tips for better discernment.

Not All Online Courses Are Cults: Initial Thoughts on the Twin Flames Netflix Documentary | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 133

Have y’all seen that insane new Netflix documentary, Escaping Twin Flames Universe? It’s an insane whirlwind of an online spiritual cult and shares some testimonies of people who have escaped it. Unfortunately, this group operated online. In this episode, I talk about the cult and how fucked up and crazy it is - that isn’t really something to doubt - and I also talk about how these folks give a bad name to online courses, online course creators, and online coaches like myself and many others who do good and honest, authentic, heart felt work in the spiritual space. This will probably be the first episode of a few where I talk about this. I share a bit about how online communities were life changing for me both as an adult and a suburban teen, and how every industry has its insane people, scammers, and charlatans.

Your Energy Is A Gift: Choose Who Is In Your Sphere | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 131

Over the years, it has broken my heart to see so many lovely, amazing people - especially women - give so much of their energy, time, and patience to those who don’t deserve it. Sometimes this can be out of a misplaced hopefulness, and sometimes it can be due to a scarcity mindset and an idea that we just have to tolerate misalignment. When we elevate our standards (yes, for ourselves, too, we aren’t off the hook!), we elevate our lives.
