How desire strengthens intuition (and doesn’t undermine it)

We're often taught that desire is something to mistrust - it's frivolous, selfish, and indulgent. But what if I told you that desire is just another form of intuition - a fiery inner spark of eros that's guiding you to your most honest and alive life? In this episode, we're letting desire lead the way! We're covering: ❤️‍🔥 Why the distrust of desire is rooted in purity culture (and not just in Christianity)❤️‍🔥 The difference between true desire and impulse or instant gratification❤️‍🔥 What desire actually feels like in the body❤️‍🔥 How erotic energy, (sometimes sexual, sometimes not), can be understood as intuition speakingIf this conversation resonates, then the free Oracle Within Summit is for you.January 26–29, 2026A free 4-day summit on intuition + divinationLearn to connect with your intuition and cultivate self-trust so you can confidently make decisions that break the rules  📌 Link to join:  https://lupinehollow.krtra.com/t/hElbSwQ1DmCp

In this episode, I'm sharing four personal stories of times I made an intuitive choice... and it seemed like it all went wrong. These are the stories we're most afraid of - the reasons we so often second-guess and doubt our own inner wisdom. Because we're afraid of making the "wrong" choice and losing stability, relationships, money, or comfort. We're afraid of having regrets. In this discussion, we're talking about why intuitive choices can sometimes feel so scary in the moment, recognizing the difference between intuition vs fear or anxiety, and my own examples of times I trusted myself... and it didn't go how I thought it would. We're covering: Choices about career and relationships Why intuitive actions sometimes cost us something (but they're still the right choices)How to step out of perfectionism and allow your journey to be your own - not a game you have to master or get "right"The Oracle Within Summit (FREE)January 26–29, 2026A free 4-day summit on intuition + divinationLearn to connect with your intuition and cultivate self-trust so you can confidently make decisions that break the rules  📌 Link to join: https://lupinehollow.krtra.com/t/hElbSwQ1DmCpAll-Access Pass (Optional Upgrade)Includes bonus resources, classes, and a brand new 7-day audio practice to help you learn to trust your body as part of intuitive trust.

What if the part of you you’re afraid to let out is actually your greatest power? In this episode, I share how the “good girl” in me was burned at the stake — and how the Dark Moon Priestess rose from her ashes.

Most of the ways you've been taught to do shadow work will actually keep you stuck in the same old loops for years on end. You journal, you reflect, you pull tarot cards, you analyze your astrology chart — but nothing in your real life actually changes.Even when you have a lot of self-awareness and understand where your shadows come from, if you're approaching this work only intellectually, and not moving your shadows out of your body or making changes in your real daily life... you're going to stay stuck. In this episode, you’ll discover why that happens — and what to do instead.You’ll learn:✨ The three phases of shadow work (and why you get trapped in phase two of understanding)✨ Why awareness and understanding aren’t enough to shift your subconscious patterns✨ How to reclaim your shadows instead of trying to fix or heal yourselfI’ll also share my own stories of reclaiming shadows like anger, anxiety, and “neediness” in my relationships — and how you can do the same in your own life.💫 If you’re ready to stop looping on the same shadows and finally take your power back, join me inside The Reclamation — my 8-week immersive program to reclaim your shadows, liberate your power, and live with unapologetic purpose + pleasure.

In this episode, I'm joined by Afura Nefertiti who is a returning guest and a long-time friend and fellow witch. Afura and I are discussing her shift towards working more with feminine energy and how the masculine structures and systems she's worked with in the past still serve her... but are no longer her most important focus in her life or spiritual practice. She shares about how she is opening up to receive more rest, support, and creative expression and talks about how our patriarchal society overvalues productivity.Learn more about the topic of feminine versus masculine energy - which is present in all of us, regardless of gender - during Afura's presentation in The Goddess Within Summit, a free virtual event happening April 28-30, 2025. Click here to get your free ticket!Connect with AfuraWebsite: https://writingwitch.comInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/afuranefertitiPinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/thewritingwitchTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@afura_the_writing_witchYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/c/TheWritingWitch/?sub_confirmation+1

In this episode, I'm sharing my very personal stories of coming out as a witch, as polyamorous, and as bisexual - and how each new layer of authenticity that I've uncovered has led me closer and closer to the goddess within. We're talking about what goddess work is - and what it isn't. Did you know that you can practice goddess work... without every worshipping or even working with a goddess directly? You absolutely CAN and I'm sharing lots of ideas for rituals to help you connect with goddess energy, including my own personal goddess practices. But what goddess work is truly about is softening into beauty, opening your heart to receiving, releasing shame around pleasure and rest, and honoring your truest desires and authentic self. ---You'll learn all about these topics, how to work with specific goddesses, and reconnecting to pleasure without shame at the free Goddess Within Summit, happening April 28-30, 2025!

In this episode, I'm joined by Jill McArthur who is a professional tarot card reader with a focus on empowerment and self-reflection. Jill is a third-generation witch with roots in a magical lineage, beginning with her grandmother, who was an herbalist in Pakistan. Jill and I talked about her journey into working with tarot as an intuitive, but also reflective tool. She shared about some of her own practices with tarot as a wonderful support in "present-telling" - really being in the present moment and reflecting on your current circumstances, rather than anxiously living in the potential future. Jill also dispelled some common misconceptions about tarot.
