  • Self-love for the Secret Witch - the power you keep forgetting you already have

    Self-love for the Secret Witch - the power you keep forgetting you already have
    Feb 10 2026

    On the Secret Witch Show today, Nicole is exploring the deeper truth of self-love - not the fluffy, bubble-bath version we see everywhere in February, but the raw, often uncomfortable, Rosa-coded kind that meets us right in the places we feel unlovable. Speaking to the Secret Witch who keeps pushing through her tight-chested tension, armouring herself in capability, and abandoning her own needs in fear of disappointing others, she invites us to notice where we've been living as a closed bud - braced, tense, performing 'I'm fine' - instead of softening open into the tenderness our magic actually requires.

    In this episode we explore why self-love isn't a luxury but the foundation of a Witch's power; how the 'Archetypal Rosa' wound compels us to override our bodies and earn love through self-abandonment; and the real, embodied moment Nicole chose differently - cancelling her day, offering herself softness, and risking being 'too much' or 'not enough' in order to come back home to herself. This is a gentle and powerful invitation into wholeness - into welcoming all parts of ourselves, tending our shadow with love, and remembering the power we keep forgetting we already have.

    What You'll Learn from this Episode:

    • Self-love isn't superficial - it's the foundation of a Witch's magic, the inner relationship that makes everything else in our lives possible.

    • The Rosa wound is the pattern that makes Secret Witches override their needs, perform capability, and earn love through self-abandonment - even as their bodies whisper for softness.

    • Wholeness isn't perfection; it is the radical act of welcoming all of ourselves home - shadow, fear, doubt and tenderness included.

    • The moment we soften instead of armour, choosing our needs even when it feels undeserved, is the moment our inner Rosa begins to bloom.

    • Practical self-love is both the deep inner work of meeting ourselves in shame and the tender rituals of devotion - tiny acts of beauty, presence and self-honouring.

    • When a Secret Witch chooses to love herself in the exact place she once abandoned herself, her power strengthens, her magic opens, and she becomes truly unstoppable.

  • How to listen to your body & reclaim your wild feminine power - the truth of somatic healing

    How to listen to your body & reclaim your wild feminine power - the truth of somatic healing
    Jan 27 2026
    On the Secret Witch Show today our guest is Sara Fakih. Sara's work is an invitation to remember - to come home to the body, to emotion as power, and to the truth that lives beneath survival and self-sabotage. Through trauma-informed somatic practices, body–mind maturation coaching, and movement rooted in yoga and dance, she guides women into deeper embodiment, emotional freedom, and nervous system repair. A freedom explorer and rule-breaker at heart, Sara weaves ancient wisdom with modern somatic intelligence - empowering women to reclaim their voice, purpose, and wild feminine essence through womb reconnection, ancestral healing, and embodied remembrance. In this episode, we explore what it really means to listen to your body - not as a surface-level somatic trend, but as a courageous descent into the truth that lives beneath survival, suppression and self-sabotage. Sara shares how the body holds our wild emotions, our ancestral memory, and the younger parts of us that learned to survive through shutdown, people-pleasing or rebellion. We speak about the paradox of wanting power and being terrified of it, how rage protects heartbreak, why numbness is a sensation worth honouring, and how our patterns of self-sabotage, procrastination and resignation are invitations into deeper liberation. This conversation is a raw, honest, embodied journey into creating internal safety, meeting your trauma with compassion, and reclaiming the wild feminine power that has always been yours. What You'll Learn from this Episode: Our deepest resignation and "I don't want to be here" moments are portals - the very places that reveal the gold we're here to reclaim Somatic safety isn't found by chasing calm - it's created by turning toward the sensations we fear, the contractions, the shakes, the numbness The survival mind isn't truth - it is inherited conditioning, ancestral memory, and old protection strategies that once saved us and now sabotage us Wild feminine emotion - especially rage - is power: a sacred force that protects heartbreak, cuts through illusion, and awakens authentic boundaries Suppression shows up in patterns: self-sabotage, procrastination, resentment, people-pleasing - each one is a doorway into deeper liberation Coming home to the body is coming home to power - when we stop outsourcing safety and learn to be with what arises, we alchemise trauma into truth and return to our gold.

  • How to create a New Year vision that comes from soul, not strategy

    How to create a New Year vision that comes from soul, not strategy
    Jan 13 2026
    Happy New Year witches! A huge welcome back to the show! This new Year is feeling powerful - and, if you're a Witch into manifesting magic - aka creating your magical life - then I want to share and invite you to our free taster event coming up this Thursday. I'll be leading circle in our Meet your Witch ceremony - if you've enjoyed listening to the show, and you're feeling called by some strange pull to taking the tender first steps with your Witch, I invite you to join us in this heart-opening ceremony where you'll begin to open to your heart's deeper vision. Which is very apt for today's show - you can join us at https://meetyourwitch.eventbrite.co.uk/ - claim your free ticket and step into 2026 from your Witchy power! And yes, there's a replay so we will send that if you can't join live. On the Secret Witch Show today, Nicole opens the New Year with a deep, magical exploration of what it truly means to create a vision from soul rather than strategy. She speaks to the Secret Witch who longs for manifestation yet fears it, who has learned to either hustle or rebel, who wants to step into her Creatrix power but feels blocked by doubt, burnout, resistance or confusion about what she even desires. Nicole invites us into a different way of creating - one rooted in the Feminine, in 'feeling' rather than 'thinking', and in allowing our hearts to reveal the woman we long to become. In this episode we explore why strategic visioning often collapses our magic, how the Witch can find the 'Third Way' beyond push-or-collapse, and why soul visions feel impossible, terrifying and wildly honest. Nicole shares the personal initiations that shaped her own vision - including withdrawing her daughter from school, and recreating her entire life around creating a soul-business and soul-led homeschooling - a dream that once felt utterly impossible. Through story and deeper teachings of the laws of manifestation, she guides you toward opening your heart, illuminating your resistance, and beginning to discover the soul vision held quietly in the fabric of your cells. What You'll Learn from this Episode: A soul vision can only be accessed through feeling, embodiment and the heart - not through thinking, strategy or the logical Masculine "what do I want?" approach The Witch's true creative power emerges when she moves beyond both poles of hustling /forcing and collapsing/rebelling — and enters the 'Third Way' of soul-led creation Manifestation is not about figuring out the HOW, it's about holding a heart-led, impossible-feeling vision while tending the wounds and shadows that pull us away from it We are always creating - but without a soul vision, we unconsciously create from wounding, fear, doubt and the unmet needs of our inner little girl A true soul vision will feel confronting, unrealistic or even terrifying, because it reveals the deeper truth of who we are and calls us into our power and possibility Soul creation requires vulnerability and courage - the willingness to trust the mystery, meet resistance honestly, and take aligned action even when the path feels impossible or unclear - but it's worth it!
