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.

The Secret Witch Show

More Episodes

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 face projections, to lead without having all the answers - and offers a fierce liberation from the performance of ‘perfection’. We explore the role of the deep work with archetypal remedies in this process, the medicine of being seen (and loved) in shadow, and the universal law of ‘similars’ - showing that ‘like’ does ‘heal like’ - and our wounds are the way to our gold.


What You’ll Learn from this Episode:

  • Our mess is the medicine - when we show up raw, real, and imperfect, we become living remedies for others walking the same path.

  • Perfection is a performance - hiding behind a polished image disconnects us from our truth and suppresses our soul’s power.

  • Real healing lives in holy honesty - not in pretending to be ‘healed’, but in becoming intimate with our wounds and loving ourselves there.

  • Archetypal remedies teach us to feel and express our wildness, vulnerability, and fear of abandonment with honesty and fire, in a way that heals us

  • Projections are part of the path - as healers, we will be pedestalled, judged, and misunderstood, and our work is to stay open, not perfect.

  • People are remedies - true transformation happens in relational spaces where both guide and healer are allowed to be gloriously human.
