It’s Okay To Admit You Are Not A Bad Bitch! Vulnerability After Heartbreak Is Healthy | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 83

Hi friends! In this episode I discuss something I’ve seen a lot of, mostly after women end a relationship with a man who ended up using them, playing them, lying to them, cheating on them, or whatever else. The fact is, no, you aren’t a baddie with high queen life standards if you see the warning signs and ignore them. Yes, shitty people are shitty, it’s true - all bugs are attracted to the light, both ones that bite and ones that are beautiful: once we get a glimpse of who someone is, we get to choose who and what we entertain. It’s okay to take off our mask, admit we got played, get vulnerable, and really examine ourselves to avoid something similar in the future. In this episode I talk about how this is unavoidable, actually, if we want to heal these wounds around worthiness, discernment, and abandonment in dating.

In this episode I break down something I’ve seen soooo often in spiritual spaces - the idea of soul mates, twin flames, or finding a lover that we have also been with in a past life. Unfortunately, a lot of people are soooo attached to the idea of soul mates or twin flames, that they use these spiritual concepts to excuse or ignore abuse, bad behaviour, addiction, dysfunction, or any other sketchiness. In this episode I talk about what approach to take instead, and what I REALLY think about soul mate love.

Okay, I know this isn’t about witchcraft - but guess what? Witches are, above all, PEOPLE.

It can be hard to get out of these connections once they really get rolling; listen to this episode to learn big red flags and signs that you absolutely need to disconnect. I end with a pep talk for anyone going through something hot and cold - love does NOT have to feel that way! Sometimes the best magic is to LEAVE. Sending everyone love and good energy!
