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...

In this episode Nicole explores the importance of expressing our uniqueness (rather than suppressing ourselves, which is the ‘cause’ of disease), explaining some universal laws. She invites you to claim your power to heal yourself, sharing how we can do that by learning to work with our ‘inner apothecary’ of archetypal remedies, and offering some ‘practical’ steps to begin this - along with an invitation to reclaim your self-healing power.
What You’ll Learn from this Episode:
-
Mainstream medicine (allopathy) differs in its worldview about ‘quick fix’ healing to alternative, holistic approaches which focus on unsuppressing our souls and principles of ‘like cures like’
-
Because of that, mainstream medicine can struggle to heal ‘mysterious’ pains that are really pointing us towards the deeper, root-cause underlying patterns
-
The Witch can help us to reclaim our power - our pains are often unseen ‘initiations’ into our self-healing gifts - and a deeper understanding of ourselves
-
True healing requires us to not suppress, but address underlying emotional and psychological causes that manifest physical symptoms
-
Archetypal Remedies offer both a psychological and physical map to our healing - and learning to harness our ‘inner apothecary’ of remedies can empower us to heal ourselves
-
This requires an openness to a new worldview, perhaps a slower pace of healing - and being willing to be in the messiness of discovery - which we can feel resistance to in a world where we’ve been taught there’s a ‘quick fix’, but it’s worth it when it truly heals us
