Will The Avoidant Come Back? What To Do When They Return (And Why) | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 245

In this episode, I discuss whether or not the person with avoidant attachment (who left you, ghosted you, cheated on you, etc) will come back and try and repent, and what to do when and if they do.

I also discuss reasons why people may stay in such toxic relationships, such as addiction to drama, financial greed, psychological codependency, an ego boost that no matter how often someone cheats they come back, etc.

The real question is - when the avoidant ex comes back, why would you even want them? Why do you feel compelled to give them a chance? Why do you have such low expectations for your life and the people in it? If you have a hard time extracting yourself from so much drama, there is likely a psychological reason that YOU are addicted/compelled to this push/pull cycle.

Your Vibe Attracts Your Tribe, AND Your Light And Radiance Will Attract Everyone (Including Predators) | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 245

In this episode of The Secrets of a Witch Podcast, I discuss the common phrase "your vibe attracts your tribe" and offer a critique of how this phrase can sometimes be used to victim blame people who have been the targets of predators.

So, yes, to some extent our vibe attracts our tribe, AND - when we are in a space of light, authenticity, and integrity especially - our light and radiance will attract absolutely everyone, including predators, cheaters, liars, and sketchy people looking to take advantage of our good energy.

Just like your porch light on a hot summer night, your light will attract ALL THE BUGS, both the beautiful ones and the dangerous ones.

I talk about the importance of our intuition, discernment, and protecting our time and energy.

Ask Your Spirit Team To Intervene And Reveal The Truth (You Can't Hide From The Spiritual World) | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 244

In this episode of The Secrets of a Witch Podcast, I share a real story about receiving a mediumship message from my great grandmother, and asking my Saint to intervene and reveal the truth of a situation, confirming the mediumship message from nearly a month prior - a message which, at first, seemed a little farfetched to me. Spiritual intervention, help, and spirits revealing the truth is absolutely available to you, all you need to do is ASK.

Do not be afraid to ask to see the truth of a situation. It can be scary to face the music and to see reality for what it is. Your ancestors and spiritual team will often allow you to make your own mistakes and learn your own lessons, but their help and intervention is there for you when you are ready for it and if you feel you need or want it.

Your spiritual team has your back. The spirits SEE ALL. They are there to help and support you, when and if you ask and are ready to receive their intervention and messages.

Your spiritual team will have access to the sketchy behaviour of other people. Ask them, if you're ready. No one can hide from the spiritual world. It's so important to live in truth, even if it's not what you wished was true.

Celebrate Surprise Endings! Breakups, Job Loss: The Best Is Yet To Come. Trust The Universe! | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 243

In this episode, I talk about how surprise endings, break ups, job loss, etc - any big unexpected change - can be absolutely amazing, a gift, and the universe redirecting us to something better.

It's possible to redirect our mindset out of misery and sadness, into celebration and opening. With surprise endings, one door is closed for us, and one million additional doors open. How miraculous is that?

Sometimes, feeling better and being excited about the future is as easy as deciding to change our own mind and our own thoughts. Say no to negative self-talk, say no to projecting negativity and awfulness into the future. Assume the best is yet to come. Life is happening FOR you, NOT to you. Assume this has been removed from your path because there is something better out there for your future .

The universe has your back - believe it, claim it, live it. You can do this! Get excited about what's next.

The Devil Card in Tarot: Drugs, Addiction, Gambling, Sex, and Harmful Habits and Coping Mechanisms | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 242

The Devil card in tarot shows us where we are harming ourselves, and where we are stuck in maladaptive and unhealthy loops, often tied to trauma, addiction, shame, and impulsiveness.

The Devil can also hint at dark and spicy elements of life, such as polyamory, kink, and things of that nature - though, unless otherwise indicated in the position the card is pulled in the reading, The Devil often does reference excess, lack of control, and being impulsive and intensity in ways that hurt/harm us.

The Devil is about patterns and bad vibes - unfortunately including secrets, abuse, addictions, shopping addiction, sex addiction, overspending, gambling, avoidance, cheating, manipulation, and more.

Do not ignore The Devil when this card comes up! It's a big deal. However you relate to The Devil, you can heal and work through it.

Understanding the Seven of Swords in Tarot: Cheating, Lying, Sketchiness, Hiding, and More | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 241

Today on the podcast, we get into the tarot! The seven of swords is one of the most important cards to pay attention to when we are getting a tarot reading, or reading tarot for ourselves. The seven of swords reveals that there is someone who cannot be trusted.

The seven of swords is a sign that there is some dishonesty in the mix. Lying, omitting information, hiding, withholding, cheating (sexually, on finances, emotionally, etc) - all of these sketchy behaviours can be present when we pull the seven of swords.

It's an important card; when it comes up, it brings a very serious message. Ignore the message of the seven of swords at your own risk and your own peril - somebody is lying to you, or hiding something from you.

Eclipse Season and Mercury Retrograde Endings, and the Importance of Reading Tarot When There's Nothing Wrong | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 240

In this episode of the Secrets of a Witch Podcast, I talk about the importance of reading cards and connecting with spirit all the time - even and especially when we aren't in crisis or dealing with any bad surprises.

When we read tarot cards and touch in spiritually even when we have 'no reason' to, we can get a heads up when things are about to nosedive or turn sour, and prepare ourselves for the downturn. I also talk about how healthy, empowered feminine energy quickly reveals what is in a man - so we don't get dragged along in multi-year long relationships with avoidant, emotionally unavailable men.

When we occupy a space of healed, healthy, anchored feminine energy (balanced with masculine energy), it tends to trigger and reveal the unhealthiness/toxicity in men. (Apologies to men listening to this, LOL - switch up the language to get something out of what I'm saying!)

I also give some suggestions of what kinds of questions to ask your cards when you want to reveal what is currently hidden and unavailable to you. Tarot can absolutely be predictive - it's okay to work with it to show us what we don't see, and what may reveal itself in our future, if there's no intervention.

Part three of what to know about avoidant people when you are single and dating!

Whether your avoidant date or partner is being self loathing, stuck in shame or addiction, has ghosted or discarded you, you will want to listen to this episode to learn more about what you are experiencing.

Are people secretive about their past? Do they get overwhelmed by shame? Do they keep secrets, do they bend the truth or lie easily? Do they keep secrets from their family, their workplace, or did they keep secrets in their past relationships? You will not be the exception - they will keep secrets from you too, and this can hide addictions, spending, criminal activity, and more fun things.

After my first podcast episode on this went viral, I've since learned many more things about avoidant attachment, and some huge warning signs you absolutely need to know in order to keep yourself protected and your heart safe in this hectic dating landscape.

How to Avoid Avoidants: What to Look Out For When You're Single and Dating (Part 2: Self-Loathing and Shame) | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 237

After my first podcast episode on this went viral, I've since learned many more things about avoidant attachment, and some huge warning signs you absolutely need to know in order to keep yourself protected and your heart safe in this hectic dating landscape.

In this episode I talk about how avoidants tend to dislike themselves, and can even occupy a regular space of self loathing, self-hatred, and putting others on pedestals. This is not about you, do not be flattered by them putting you on a pedestal.

If they are intimidated by you and devalue themselves, this actually makes it more likely for them to leave. If this is the case, they will likely leave the relationship in a sudden, unexpected way with absolutely no warning or obvious reason. Their shame is often too great for them to connect with you despite their discomfort. They will also bring up their ex all the time for no reason - which is a sign of emotional unavailability.

Still up for giving it a go with someone who has avoidant attachment, or maybe have avoidant attachment yourself? Give this episode of my podcast a listen and learn more about how to notice avoidant people in the dating landscape.

Say No To The Outrage Olympics. Reclaim Your Time And Energy | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 236

Did you know that participating in the endless outrage olympics pumped out by social media and the news is completely optional?

It's possible to stay informed about global happenings while also not losing our minds, having mental breakdowns, engaging in hateful pile-ons online, and more.

It seems like a lot of folks these days do not realize that we can opt out of the endless cycles of outrage, and step away from whatever current event the media cycle of today is pushing everyone to react to.

Reclaim your time and energy, reclaim your power over your own emotions and life.

Does Where You Put Your Attention Align With Your Intention? | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 235

In this episode of The Secrets of a Witch Podcast, I discuss the importance of aligning our attention with our intention. Many people these days seem to be addicted to (and easily sucked into) mindless content online, or even outrage olympics rage bait online.

Instead of spending hours arguing on the internet or scrolling through cat videos from the entire time you get off work til when you go to bed, ask yourself - what else could you be doing with your time? Don't you have something to create, something to do, something to learn, or even something restful that would actually replenish and revive you?

Controlling and containing our own energy and attention is crucial when we consider what it takes to have a good life where we fulfill and execute on our purpose and passion.

Is There Healthy Aggression? The Importance of Warrior Energy and the Survival Instinct | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 234

We are in a society where most kinds of aggression and masculinity are demonized and denigrated as bad, evil, or unhealthy. But is there such a thing as healthy aggression?

In this episode, I talk about the importance of viciousness, standing up for ourselves, fighting back (when necessary and from a healthy place), the survival instinct, and what I call warrior energy.

Knowing which fights to get into (and why) is a big part of this. Unfortunately, much aggressive raw survival energy is wasted on stupid online arguments and pointless protests.

In this episode, I explore what warrior energy means and can look like in the contemporary world, what causes our lack of it (and extreme misdirection of it when it's present), and where we can channel this energy instead (and why we should be aware of any of this at all).

Do No Harm, Take No Shit: A 2026 Mantra (aka The Year of Having A Backbone) | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 233

There is this strange idea floating around that spiritual people need to be docile doormats, or never stand up for ourselves when we are attacked.

In this episode, I talk about how important it is to stand up for ourselves when it is necessary and warranted to do so.

In 2026, I want all of y'all to feel comfortable and justified in standing up for yourselves.

Standing up for yourself is not 'doing harm' to someone else. It is important that we are able to embody warrior energy, and not start fights, but finish them when we are in the right circumstances. Step into your power and confidence in 2026!

Heal Your Childhood Dysfunction, Heal and Change Your Life | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 232

In this episode, I discuss dysfunctional family systems and how what we learn in childhood can follow us around forever, unless we take steps to move outside of these wounds, traumas, assumptions, and dysfunctions. I discuss examples of how this can impact how we interact in the workplace, in our friendships, and in our romantic relationships. Includes recommendations for resources to understand these dynamics.

In this episode of the Secrets of a Witch podcast, I discuss anxious attachment, why they're the most common people to encounter in the dating landscape for all my fellow single people, what could have caused this, and some questions to ask and things to be on the lookout for as you date and try to avoid the avoidants!

When Someone Breaks Up With You, Let Them. Why We Need To Let Go Of Closure | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 230

In this episode of the Secrets of a Witch podcast, I discuss something we all experience at least once in our lives - the ending of relationships! Whether it's romantic or friendship, we've all had relationships end, and many of us have been dumped. I talk about how the best way to approach being dumped or left is simply to accept it, rather than fight it or seeking endless conversations and closure. I talk about how closure should come from within ourselves, and we should not rely on others for our own healing process and ability to move on. Closure is within you, nowhere else.

Most People Do Magic For The Wrong Reasons. Do You? | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 229

A lotta witches are miserable, unhappy, and ungrounded - they do magic for the wrong reasons, such as emotional instability, pettiness, anger, jealousy, or something else. Magic can absolutely be worked with to help us heal from trauma (as I talk about in my second graphic novel Bodymagic), however it seems that many people in witchcraft land aren't using magic to heal, but rather to further entrench themselves in their own negative habits, mindsets, and unhealthy ways of thinking. Our magic is limited by our own state of mind. In this episode, I discuss the state of witchy community, and how I think we can all work with magic in better, healthier ways.

Is Forgiveness Necessary For Healing Trauma? | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 228

Is forgiveness necessary or relevant when we are healing our trauma, our shadows, and our wounds? Do we need to forgive family members, or anyone who has hurt us in the past? In this episode, I discuss my own healing journey, and how forgiveness - though it was not on my radar at all, and was not something I strived for - somehow happened to me anyway. Is forgiveness necessary for your journey? I explain why or why not, and offer a perspective contrary to what we tend to see in a lot of pop psych woo woo spaces. With so many people seeing family this holiday season, it seems a relevant topic to discuss!
