How to express your Feminine magic - unapologetically - in a world where that's terrifying

On the Secret Witch Show today our guest is Sophie French. Sophie supports women to unlock and unleash their unique expression and gifts into the world, to tap into their heart's desires and to go for them with deep self-trust and self-belief. She utilities a combination of neuro-linguistic programming, emotional release and embodiment practices along with energy and strategy work to provide a holistic approach to the woman who is ready to be all she's ever wanted.

In this vibrant episode Nicole and Sophie dive into all things ‘unapologetic feminine soul expression’, exploring how self-illuminating where we have suppressed ourselves (rather than submitting to pathologising things like ‘depression’) helps us heal and discover our true selves and embrace our creative soul expression - and how that can be a healing remedy for others, in ways we don’t always expect. Performing her poetry for us and exploring how she rebirthed herself through it, Sophie explores how her self-expression and story-telling became a form of alchemy of darkness to light, and how she tended her nervous system to be able to express her true self in a world where that’s scary.


What You’ll Learn from this Episode:

• It is vital to our mental and physical health to live out our full, unapologetic expression - numbing and suppressing our true selves literally has us become burned out, depressed and anxious

• We can begin to heal through unsuppressing ourselves, via self-discovery - which includes facing our darkness, feeling everything fully and challenging the societal tendency to numb and avoid discomfort

• Expressing our emotions can be an alchemical process which unlocks deeper creativity and joy - Sophie’s poetry is a great example of this deep expression of her soul, and came through her in this alchemical way - as I always say, our gifts are found in our wounds

• That said, we can consciously choose the edge we meet, giving ourselves permission to go at our own pace and choose when we go in - this is an intentional healing process of soul-expression

• It’s important to regulate our nervous systems - much more important than it is made out to be in our society so we can express safely. We must create space for the slowness of this process

• Healing can be found in anything that has us back in touch with feeling ‘alive’ - not just traditional ‘remedies’ but through music, and dance, or anything that has us feel alive and connected.
