Hi friends! In this episode I share a bit about my shifting traditions around this time of year - from Winter Solstice, Yuletide, and New Year’s to really being able to embrace Christmas itself. I also share some (hopefully inspiring) words of hope drawing from my own journey to healing my relationship to this time of year. If you’re still triggered or mourning right now - it doesn’t have to always be that way. Sending love and bright blessings to all!

The Mother’s Day Episode: Mediumship, Mentorship, Healing Bloodlines, and Life After Trauma | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 70

In this episode, I chat a little about this past Mother’s Day and how it was for me - in truth, I forgot it was Mother’s Day - and wow, what a blessing to be at a place on my healing journey that I was able to not know, and then when I knew, I enjoyed it instead of being triggered. I found out it was Mother’s Day when I went to zoom church - and received a message from some departed women on my mother’s side. I explain a bit about Spiritualist mediumship and my experience having certain spirit connections unlocked and/or deepened. I also discuss mentoring as a form of mothering, and how important it is to mother ourselves, no matter how old we are.

It’s Not a Flex to Be Triggered by Good Vibes and Oppression Olympics in Spirituality | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 68

Okay so this episode is a little bit of a rant… stick with me though. Over the last few years, witchy and spiritual spaces have been inundated with the rhetoric of the oppression olympics, a narcissistic over-fixation on identity, and an obsession with personal injury. In this episode I talk a bit about some of the conversations I’ve observed lately, particularly a knee jerk response to (and rejection of) “low vibe” and “high vibe” rhetoric. I give a contrary perspective, which is that we can accept ourselves no matter where we are on our journey. Shame is optional, and so is the rejection of happy and helpful concepts. A deep episode, lol!

When We Heal Our Female Ancestral Wounds and Traumas, We Heal Ourselves | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 61

In this episode I talk about ancestor work. Of course, we all know about inter generational trauma, family dynamics and how dysfunctional systems get handed down from generation to generation within families. But what about the traumas, habits, narratives, and beliefs specific to our female and women ancestors in our lineage? In this episode I talk about why looking at gender and ancestral narratives and experiences are so important in understanding and healing our own traumas, energies, and lives - as witches, and as creators of our reality.

Understanding the Basics of Abuse Psychology | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 43

Okay, I know this isn’t about witchcraft - but guess what? Witches are, above all, PEOPLE. And if I had a dollar for every time someone emailed me crying over someone who was very clearly abusive, I would be a bazillionaire. In this episode I explain the basics of abuse psychology as I understand it - the fundamentals of how it works, how people get sucked in, what kind of relationships this can happen in, and some basic warning signs to look out for. 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! If you find this episode healing or helpful, please share it with a friend or loved one who could benefit.

Unlocking the Sacral Chakra and Playing With the Inner Child | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 38

Y’all - the time right now is so potent, so juicy, so brimming with possibility, rebirth, creativity, and fun. Even if you’re an artist every day and have sex regularly, that’s no guarantee that you’re living in alignment with the sacral chakra - the zesty life force passion wave of life, where you’re brimming with vitality, not just happy in life but on the edge of ecstasy. This vibe pairs so well with the Spring Equinox, and Aries season! In this episode I talk all about my recent unlocking of my sacral chakra, and how I did it - and why you might want to too. The sacral chakra is the second from the bottom - and unlocks once our inner child has enough safety, stability, and security to play, to move, to intuit, to giggle! It’s also our centre for art, creation, and sexual fire.

Keep Yourself Safe: Warning Signs That Someone Is Manipulative | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 31

Whew ok this is a big but very important topic! In this episode, I discuss common behaviours done by manipulators and compare them to how healthy people behave in the same situations. Manipulation can be very sneaky and hard to spot, that’s why it’s often so successful and can be so hard to escape from! Manipulative behaviour is also a bit of a warning sign for possible abuse to come, so it is important that everyone becomes familiar with these tactics. A tendency to manipulate is a massive red flag for anyone in your life, be it friend, lover, or coworker. Learn the warning signs in this episode and keep yourself safe!

Ok, I know I know - I can be a bit “take no prisoners” at times, but underneath it, I am warm and fuzzy. As much as I advocate a bit of a decisive cutthroat vibe at times, I do believe that feeling our feelings is important, and even deeply physically and emotionally healing. In this episode, I talk about the importance of feeling our feelings, seeing big feelings as gifts and lessons, and the importance of meeting our feelings with openness and curiosity.

What’s Your Core Wound? | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 10

In this episode, inspired by a recent chat with my therapist, I discuss the concept of the core wound. I share what mine is, in the hopes that y’all can learn something from how I’ve dealt with it - the harms of it, but also how, when we face the music and flip our core wound on its head, it can be deeply healing and creative.
