How 'burnout' can be a portal to connecting with your magic and gifts

On the Secret Witch Show today, Nicole is diving into one of the common ‘symptoms’ that shows up for women who have come here with magical gifts: burn out.  Burn out is something that many sensitive women experience - and Nicole shares her own point of view and journey with this, explaining her radical worldview that whilst we judge ourselves for not being able to ‘keep up’, burn out is really a deeper call into our magic and gifts.

In this episode Nicole explores why this is, how we’ve been conditioned to shame ourselves for what’s just the sensitive constitution we were born with - and how it’s really a sign that there’s some healing to do of our wounded healer.  She explores how, contrary to what we’ve been taught, our wounds become portals to our deepest gifts, offering some enquiry about burn out to help guide you in self-illumination.

What You’ll Learn from this Episode:

• We are taught that all the things that are Feminine - our bodies, our softness, our tenderness, our radiance, our joy, our pleasure, our vulnerability, our depth, our hearts - don’t matter, and to forget about them and be more in the ‘Masculine’ logic, drive, force, push - but really it is being embodied in our ‘Feminine’ essence that creates miracles

• It is the deeper ‘energetic’ choice into that which has us embody our feminine - and when we make that deeper ‘energetic’ choice into our Feminine magic, the world sees it and shifts how it responds to us

• Being in the body helps that - and what has us embodied in our Feminine essence is unique for us all - some helpful prompts to discover how to embody your Feminine magic include asking: what would feel luxurious for me? What would feel softening for me?  What would feel joyful for me?  What do I need?  

• Being in our Feminine actually has us create miracles without forcing - creative ideas flow through us when we follow the joy, though this can be hard to trust.  It can be helpful to be in a journaling exercise of looking for ‘disconfirming evidence’ that we ‘can’t’ trust magic - look for proof of the miracles that occur when we are following our Feminine joy and flow

• Part of Feminine magic is also being with the darkness - fully feeling our feelings - letting them move through us - and so it’s important to love and welcome these aspects of ourselves for deeper healing and opening to magic - it’s what transmutes us to our divinity.

• Vulnerability is a key piece of the alchemy - when we learn to show up in the truth of our hearts, we are received and can experience our true radiance and being fully seen as who we are - and that’s the biggest miracle of all
