The Secret Witch Show
On the Secret Witch Show today, Nicole is peeling back the veil on what it really means to be a healer. In the raw, chaotic mess of being human - with her nervous system fried, her daughter under the table, the boiler broken, and her heart cracked open - she shows up in the storm to walk with us in the fire. This is not a polished performance, but an invitation to a sacred descent - and it’s medicine. In this episode, we explore the holy truth that our rawness, our imperfection, our honest mess is the magic. Nicole shares vulnerably about her own edges - what it means to be misjudged, to...

On the Secret Witch Show today, Nicole is diving into how our struggles, challenges, things going ‘wrong’, and even our trauma can become our remedies - and how we can reclaim our power and stop fighting that alchemy process. Sharing her own personal journey, she explores how we enter ‘remedy states’ each time we meet challenges - and how we have been conditioned to shy away from and avoid our darkness, which often leaves us (innocently) locked in that wounded state, ‘resisting’ the lesson. Instead, she shares how we can open to learning new skills to meet ourselves lovingly in...

info_outlineOn the Secret Witch Show today our guest is Maude Hirst.

Maude was an actress best known for playing Helga in the hit TV show Vikings before becoming a leading wellness practitioner and founder of the bespoke meditation company EnergyRise.
In this episode we dived into the importance of connecting to our ‘intuitive whispers’ in the journey of healing transformation - and how to deepen into our wisdom so we can embrace our true selves. Exploring Maude’s personal journey of navigating darkness in her life, she highlighted the four stages of healing and how she journeyed from a career in acting - where she felt disconnected - to her spiritual awakening and how she learned to trust her intuitive nudges to embrace who she is, and create an Oracle Deck that helps others access their own intuition. Listen to the end for our perfect card pull!
What You’ll Learn from this Episode:
-
We are all ‘actresses’ in life; most of us need to learn how to stop wearing masks and playing ‘character roles’ and truly embrace our authentic selves - and we can begin this journey by tuning into our intuitive whispers
-
The process of healing transformation requires four stages - Listening (to our intuition), Clearing (our limiting beliefs), Rebuilding (consciously creating our true self), and Action (taking aligned steps)
-
Fear can come up in the journey of connecting to our intuitive whispers - and it’s important to welcome and embrace that, moving through it, rather than avoiding it - darkness is part of the journey to ourselves
-
Tuning into our intuition is a daily practice - connecting to our bodies and grounding into nature can really help us to hear ourselves - as can intuitive journaling, or pulling Oracle cards
-
It can be challenging to own who we are - especially as healer witches - because there is societal conditioning to overcome - that’s just another layer of the onion to be healed, and an invitation into the next spiral around the stages of healing transformation.
