What I Learned From A Situationship Ending (and Giving Ourselves Grace When We Break Our Own Rules) | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 193

I share about what I learned from an ill advised situationship blowing up in my face. I broke some of my own rules, I knew better, and I played a stupid game and won a stupid prize. What red flags did I ignore? What did I learn from the experience? I mean, how DOES someone who made a podcast episode (two years ago!) about how bad and pointless situationships are, kinda end up in one? Listen to this episode to hear all about it (red flags of situationships or early dating) and learn from my mistakes so you don't make them. I also talk about how many of us know better yet break our own rules, and how it's so important to give ourselves grace, compassion, love, and forgiveness as we move forward with lessons and self worth.

Play, Fear, Experimentation, and Writing Rules for Our Lives | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 192

This episode is about testing out our internal algorithms, our standard operating procedures, and the rules and regulations by which we lead our lives. I outline four of the main ways we - in my opinion - create these rules, and I discuss a recent example of breaking one of my own long-standing rules, how that went, and what I learned. What are the rules that create the boundaries of your own life? This episode will give you a lot to think about as you ponder your own life and circumstances.

Consistency in Relationships Creates Emotional Safety | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 191

In this episode, I talk about the importance of consistency, predictability, and reliability in all relationships, but especially romantic ones. Consistency creates emotional safety and trust in relationships, which creates more space for authentic intimacy to blossom. Listen to learn more about why this is so important.

Uncovering Layers of Trauma and Men Who Put Down Women | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast episode 184

In this Aries full moon (!) episode of the Claim Your Magic Podcast with Sabrina Scott, I talk about how trauma has layers to it - we can heal significantly, and then loop back to learn similar lessons at a different stage of healing from a different vantage point. I also discuss reaction time (and appropriate reactions) in relation to trauma, and share some personal anecdotes of men who try to 'humble' women - and what I want for us all instead. (Spoiler: Confident, happy people who completely own what they're good at, and who support others in their joy, art, achievements, and creativity!)

Sex is Easy and Plentiful. Your Pussy is Precious and Sacred. Live Like It! | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 129

In this episode, I talk about how my relationship to sex and my body has changed over time. As a young adult, I explored a lot, completely without emotion - having sex like many young men do. As I’ve gotten older, I have come to see the value in “the snail method” - taking sex super slowly, and getting to know (really really get to know) potential new partners before getting physical. I realize this is a spicy and contentious topic, and that I may get accused of slut shaming. I’m thankful for my experiences in my youth, they made me a confident and savvy woman in regards to sexuality. That being said, I do think a lot of adult women are having sex in ways that don’t benefit them, with men who don’t respect them. In this episode I talk about my perspective on that phenomenon, and how single ladies can avoid this very vulnerable kind of heartbreak of being sexually used.

What is a Pick Me and Why Is It Bad? How Can I Tell If I Am a Pick Me? | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 127

By popular demand, in this episode I explain what a pick me woman (or “pickmeisha”) is. I give some examples of how pick me women act and think, as well as some of the extreme dark manifestations of this mindset and energy. I would argue that most women go through a phase like this as teens and young adults, and it’s part of stepping into womanhood to choose self worth, self love, and strong boundaries instead.

Have you ever dated someone and felt more alone when you were with them, than when you were actually by yourself? In this episode I talk about a few recent tarot readings where the same exact cards came up, and what I learned from those cards (and, of course, what you can learn from these cards when they come up in your own tarot readings). Topics of the day include wounded masculine energy, the importance of recording your tarot readings, why the King of Cups reversed is a red flag in relationship readings, and two perfectly contrasting Swords cards. Join me?

Hi friends! Controversial podcast episode alert! Do you absolutely HATE when people are “flaky” - or don’t always follow through and come to plans?

Everyone hates ghosting, it seems - well, except for me!

It’s Okay To Admit You Are Not A Bad Bitch! Vulnerability After Heartbreak Is Healthy | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 83

Hi friends! In this episode I discuss something I’ve seen a lot of, mostly after women end a relationship with a man who ended up using them, playing them, lying to them, cheating on them, or whatever else. The fact is, no, you aren’t a baddie with high queen life standards if you see the warning signs and ignore them. Yes, shitty people are shitty, it’s true - all bugs are attracted to the light, both ones that bite and ones that are beautiful: once we get a glimpse of who someone is, we get to choose who and what we entertain. It’s okay to take off our mask, admit we got played, get vulnerable, and really examine ourselves to avoid something similar in the future. In this episode I talk about how this is unavoidable, actually, if we want to heal these wounds around worthiness, discernment, and abandonment in dating.

I also discuss some of what I’ve observed around vicious, bitter women and their shame of not being given to by the men they date - and how these women often will lash out at women who have indeed figured out feminine energy and enjoy being given to.

Past Lives, Soul Mates, Twin Flames: If There’s Abuse Involved, GTFO! | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 45

In this episode I break down something I’ve seen soooo often in spiritual spaces - the idea of soul mates, twin flames, or finding a lover that we have also been with in a past life. Unfortunately, a lot of people are soooo attached to the idea of soul mates or twin flames, that they use these spiritual concepts to excuse or ignore abuse, bad behaviour, addiction, dysfunction, or any other sketchiness. In this episode I talk about what approach to take instead, and what I REALLY think about soul mate love.
