Ep. 374: 3 Things Decisive Witchy Women Do Differently

Still polling your best friend, your sister, your mom, AND a Reddit thread before you make a decision? After 14+ years of working with women, I've noticed three things decisive witchy women do differently, and none of them involve a group chat.I'm Sara, founder of The Sisters Enchanted. In this episode of Stay Magic, I'm sharing what I've seen again and again: the women who decide with confidence are the ones who feel more intuitive, more magically connected, and a whole lot less tired. Overthinking and self-doubt drain your energy and DECIDING gives it back.In this episode:✨ Why crowdsourcing your next move keeps you stuck (and what to do with your tarot deck instead)✨ How to use tarot to ask yourself better questions, so you get to a decision faster✨ The difference between your mission and your purpose✨ How your North Node, Sun, Moon, and 10th house can point you toward your mission✨ The one question to ask when you're stuck: "Does this get me closer to my mission?"✨ Why wisdom only comes from living, trying, and saying yes✨ Why looking like the crone in a children's storybook is a privilegeNo fairy is showing up with the answer on a silver platter. You are going to have to decide. And you have more tools to do it than most people ever will.Tell me in the comments: what decision have you been sitting on?🌙 FIND USWebsite: https://thesistersenchanted.com/Instagram: https://instagram.com/the_sisters_enchanted

If you ask my nine-year-old what I do for work, he’ll tell you I go online and yell at people about the witch wound. He’s not wrong!The witch wound is an inherited story. It lives in our lineage, our families, our DNA, and it tells us that being visible, being different, saying no when someone wants a yes, can get you cast out. Centuries ago, being outcast could cost you your life. Today it costs us our friend groups, our jobs, our reputations, our sense of belonging. And most of us are still shrinking because of it.In this episode I’m talking about something I’ve come to believe deeply: the witch wound was created in community, it gets exposed in community, and the only place it can start to mend is in community.What we cover:🕯 What the witch wound actually is (and why the women accused of witchcraft were rarely witches)🕯 How it shows up for midlife women right now: aging, visibility, income, speaking up, “being that kind of woman”🕯 Why you can swap the word “witch” for sister, mother, school, or job and find the same wound🕯 How gathering with other women exposes your wounds, and why that’s the point🕯 The healing that happens in multi-generational circles when we stop being pitted against each other🕯 What we get to pass down to the girls and young women coming up behind usYour invitation: gather with some women. Prioritize it as we move through the end of this year and into 2027. Notice where the witch wound shows up for you, the stories you tell yourself, and how you can stand in that exposure long enough for it to start stitching itself up.Looking for your online community for 2027 and beyond? We work on the witch wound every single week inside The Sisters Enchanted. Find out more here: https://thesistersenchanted.com/Since 2016, I’ve been helping women build self-trust and bring everyday magic into their lives, because your spiritual practice is part of who you are, not one more thing you have to get right.Stay Magic, Enchanted Sister!

“How do you make everyday magic?” and “Are you really that optimistic?” are the two questions I get asked more than anything else. Turns out I can answer them as one question!In this episode I’m pulling back the curtain on high energy vs. low energy - and no, high doesn’t mean good and low doesn’t mean bad. It’s about the words you speak over your life, the people you let into your energetic field, and whether you’re arguing for your limitations or looking for the opportunity inside the labyrinth.I’m also saying the thing nobody wants to hear: staying in low energy is spiritual bypassing. Shifting your energy is the harder work. Stagnant water breeds mosquitoes, friends.You’ll hear:✨ The three phrases that instantly put me in a bubble (“it’s hard because…”, “the problem is…”, “he/she/it…”)✨ The labyrinth reframe and how to inventory your tools when something feels impossible✨ Why problems = opportunities (even when it’s annoying to hear)✨ My real-time story about my husband, a grocery order, and realizing it was a system problem, not a him problem✨ The “worst case, best case” method I use for everything from business finances to my daughter’s forgotten vacation clothes✨ Why you might need to change the average of your five people without ditching anyonePlus a peek at what’s coming in 2027: strengths-based Holistic Witchery cohorts and another community-written ritual book.🌙 Come hang out with us:Website: https://thesistersenchanted.com/Instagram: https://instagram.com/the_sisters_enchantedPodcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/37lNSDPfA6uUFxgUUzyTB9Stay magic, Enchanted Sister!

You’ll hear me say two things if you hang around The Sisters Enchanted long enough: witches create energy, we don’t respond to it. And life is the practice, you are the altar.Today we’re talking about what that second one actually means, and why it matters so much for the woman who gives and gives and gives.If you’re the one who walks into a room, reads everyone in it, and solves the problem nobody else sees, this episode is for you. That kind of capability has a cost: you stop treating yourself as a sacred space. You respond to everything coming at you instead of creating what happens next. And then you’re exhausted, a little resentful, and “self-care” has turned into chocolate and wine at the kitchen counter at 11pm.In this episode, I walk you through the four pillars of self-care from my book Magical Self-Care, and how to use them to tend yourself the way you’d tend an altar:🔮 Practical self-care: your money, your calendar, your home, and why time management is really energy management🔮 Physical self-care: adornment, movement, and pleasure in your body (yes, pleasure is self-care)🔮 Spiritual self-care: creating containers for connection when the moon doesn’t follow your Google calendar🔮 Relational self-care: how capable women train people not to give back, and how to rebalance the scalesI also share how I set up my week every Sunday, what’s in my “quest pack,” and why community is where the witch wound was formed and where it heals.Life is the practice. You are the altar. Let’s talk about how to actually live that way.📖 Magical Self-Care (the book): https://qrco.de/bh4PR9🌙 Enchanted Journey membership (includes the full Magical Self-Care course): https://signup.thesistersenchanted.com/EJ_July_2026🗓️ The Lunar Planner: 2027 COMING SOONFind everything we’ve got going on at The Sisters Enchanted: https://thesistersenchanted.com/Instagram: https://instagram.com/the_sisters_enchantedFacebook: https://facebook.com/thesistersenchantedPodcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/37lNSDPfA6uUFxgUUzyTB9I’m Sara, founder of The Sisters Enchanted, helping women to reclaim their time, energy, and self-trust with witchery since 2016.

You can have a calendar packed Monday morning to Sunday night and feel on top of the world. You can also have wide-open weekends and still end every day face-down on the sofa, doom scrolling, with nothing left. So what gives?It’s not a time management problem. Every person, environment, and task in your life is either generating your aliveness or consuming it. Burnout happens when too much of your day lands in the “consuming” column, and you keep doing it anyway because you don’t want to seem ungrateful, disruptive, or dramatic.In this episode, I’m walking you through the one question I come back to every time I feel burnt out, the story of how I had MORE energy with a baby on my hip and two businesses than I did years later doing far less, and why “boundaries” don’t mean getting other people to behave. They mean protecting the thing only you can protect.What you’ll learn:▸ The difference between generative and consumptive energy (and how to spot each in your own week)▸ Why burnout and overwhelm come from a mismatch between your inner world and your outer world▸ The “neutral” reframe that takes the guilt out of wanting something different▸ How to tell when something that used to light you up has quietly started draining you▸ What boundaries actually protect (hint: it’s not your schedule)▸ Where to start if you keep abandoning your spiritual practice and forgetting yourselfGo through your calendar this week. What’s generating aliveness? What’s consuming it? That’s where this work begins.Everything we’re doing at The Sisters Enchanted:Website: https://thesistersenchanted.com/Instagram: https://instagram.com/the_sisters_enchantedFacebook: https://facebook.com/thesistersenchantedPodcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/37lNSDPfA6uUFxgUUzyTB9Stay magic, Enchanted Sister!

Libra is the sign of beauty, harmony, and balance. Gorgeous! It's also the sign that knows every time you've bitten your tongue at the dinner table, apologized for something that wasn't yours to apologize for, or watered down what you were about to say so nobody got uncomfortable.That's Libra's shadow, and for women it sounds a whole lot like the witch wound.The Libra New Moon lands on October 10, 2026, well into Libra season, with the Sun and Moon both in Libra. In this episode I walk through what that double Libra energy asks of us as we set intentions for a new lunar cycle, and I give you two questions to sit with:🌑 What does balance look like in my inner world?🌑 What does it look like in my outer world?Then we get meta: how do I balance those two? Because so often we keep the outside smooth by staying fragmented on the inside.I also tell the story autumn tells through the zodiac (Libra, then Scorpio, then Sagittarius) and why it looks exactly like the holidays with your family. And we pull out the Justice card for the part of balance nobody embroiders on a pillow: something always gets the short end of the stick. The good news? You get to choose what.🌿 WHAT YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH✦ Two journal questions for setting your Libra New Moon intention✦ How Libra's shadow shows up as over-apologizing, tolerating, and staying quiet✦ The autumn zodiac story and where you are in it right now✦ A simple way to work with the air element daily: choose what you listen to, read, and take in this cycle✦ What the Justice card teaches about balance, and how to pick what gets less of you on purpose✦ Why calling something in at the new moon always means letting something else go💬 TELL MEDo you have a feeling-based vision for this lunar cycle?

How do you live a life that feels like magic when you're grieving? You stop forcing the silver lining and start asking where the grief is living in your energy. In this episode, I walk you through how grief shows up in your root, sacral, solar plexus, and heart chakras, and how to use that awareness to hold sorrow and joy at the same time.👉 Join us inside The Enchanted Journey: https://signup.thesistersenchanted.com/EJ_July_2026Grief isn't only about losing a person. It's the pet you lost, the job you thought you'd retire from, or the birth story that didn't go the way you dreamed. A recent Round Table conversation with our community on grief inspired this one, and I'm sharing a piece of my own story too. "Life is the practice" doesn't always feel easy or make sense. In this video, you'll learn:✨ Why the "small" losses still count as grief✨ How grief destabilizes your root chakra and makes you feel like the "different one"✨ Why your sacral chakra can make you feel guilty for experiencing pleasure while grieving✨ How the solar plexus keeps you hiding your grief so you don't seem weak or annoying✨ What self-love looks like in your heart chakra when grief hits like the Three of Swords✨ The one question I ask every time: "How do I want to feel?"✨ The difference between spiritual bypassing and integrating light and shadowQuick answers:Is it spiritual bypassing to look for the positive while grieving?Not always. Gratitude helps, but forcing it when it doesn't feel true keeps grief stuck. Check in with your energy first.Which chakras hold grief?Grief often shows up in the root (instability), sacral (guilt around pleasure), solar plexus (fear of being seen), and heart (self-love and worth).Do you ever stop grieving?We don't let go of grief. We grow with it and expand our capacity to carry it alongside joy.🔮 Stay connected with The Sisters EnchantedWebsite: https://thesistersenchanted.com/Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/37lNSDPfA6uUFxgUUzyTB9Instagram: https://instagram.com/the_sisters_enchantedFacebook: https://facebook.com/thesistersenchantedStay magic, Enchanted Sister. 🌙

What would you do if your master's degree and $40K in student loans didn't matter? Back in 2015, my answer was "be a witch… but that's not a thing." And someone looked right at me and said, "It's a thing if you want it to be a thing."That moment started everything. Sisters Enchanted turned 10 this May, and with a new Holistic Witchery cohort opening its doors, I'm taking you on a walk down memory lane. You'll hear how a mastermind question, a lunch-break phone call from Anna, and a string of classes (Mindset Magic, Divination 101, Tarot, Everyday Magic, Moon Magic, Chakra Magic) came together into one program in April 2019. I'll also share what's changing for our October cohort and why.In this episode:✨ How the podcast went from Magic on the Inside to Expedition to Soul to Stay Magic✨ The first Sisters Enchanted class that flopped, and what I built from it✨ How the Born Magic framework (the 5i's) grew out of crying on the kitchen floor and getting back up anyway✨ The Expansion Archetypes, and the strength hiding inside every "weakness"✨ Why we folded astrology into Holistic Witchery, and how comparing my husband's birth chart with mine could have saved us a lot of time and money✨ What's new for the October cohort: fewer lectures and more live ritual, practice, and being witnessed✨ Why changing your mind when you get new information is a beautiful thingOur new Holistic Witchery cohort kicks off live on October 5th. Whether you're a returning student or brand new, I'd love for you to join us: https://signup.thesistersenchanted.com/holisticwitcheryUntil next time, stay magic, Enchanted Sister! 🌙

Your past self, present self, and future self are all listening to this video right now. The real question is whether they're on the same team.This is part 3 of our pre-Expedition to Soul series. Part 1 was about living your life as a magical practice, and part 2 was about you as the altar. This one is for the days when both of those feel impossible to remember. I'm talking about assembling your allies: calling every version of you back together so you can be your own support system instead of getting pulled in fifty directions at once.In this video:- Why at least three versions of you are hearing this video, and each one hears it differently- What "being your authentic self" even means when your identity can shift twenty times in one day- How fragmenting yourself shows up as zero motivation, negativity you can't shake, and practices you keep forgetting to do- The difference between creating your own energy and living in constant reaction to whatever's happening around you- Why so many of us treat our future self like a cousin we haven't talked to in 40 years- The two ways the past keeps us stuck: romanticizing it, or using it as proof that today can't be different- Why I'm not sold on "everything happens for a reason" (and yes, my husband likes to remind me I'm not all-knowing)- A simple way to call the scattered pieces of your energy back homeTry this after you watch:Picture past you, present you, and future you sitting right in front of you. Then ask yourself:- What is past me saying that's shaping how present me shows up?- What is future me afraid of, and how is that fear steering what I do today?- What does today actually need?🌙 JOIN US FOR EXPEDITION TO SOULInside the event, we spend a whole session on assembling your allies, plus a reclaim your energy meditation.Save your spot: https://signup.thesistersenchanted.com/ets2026_event✨ HOLISTIC WITCHERY STARTS OCTOBER 5If this video spoke to you, you're going to love Holistic Witchery.

Would you let your altar sit under an inch of dust? 🕯️You wouldn't. You'd clean it, tend it, and replace what's finished its work. You'd think about which candle, which crystal, which this and that to include.So why don't we do that for ourselves?In this episode I'm asking you to look at your own body and energy as the altar. How you treat yourself is in direct correlation with what you think you're worthy of. That's a hill I will die on.This is Part 2 of a three-part series leading into Expedition to Soul, our September journey inward. Part 1 was about life as the practice. This one is about you as the center point of it. 🌙Find Part 1 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhpjS9w5SdwLearn more about Expedition to Soul: https://signup.thesistersenchanted.com/ets2026_eventThis video is releasing with the Virgo New Moon and Virgo is the sacred nurturer - the one who tends the fine details. Mercury moves into Libra, Venus slips into Scorpio, and Uranus stations retrograde in Gemini, which is basically a cosmic invitation to rethink how you think about yourself.No time like the present, y'all. I also get into the stories we build about ourselves. The "I'm not organized" story. The "I don't finish things" story. The "I'm the kind of person who…" story. And how every single one of them has another camera angle. Move the lens up, move it down, and suddenly the thing you swore was fixed has a different story to tell. Come home to the altar you already are.
