On the Secret Witch Show today, Nicole explores the concept of the ‘Secret Witch’ and how to embrace your destiny as a healer. She shares the fears and doubts that women called to be healers often face - illuminating the signs of a calling to ‘healing’ (including feeling lost in a chaotic life, being a sensitive empath, experiencing burnout, and going through a messy portal). The episode provides insights and guidance for ‘Secret Witches’ who are ready to embrace their gifts and step into their role as healers. Nicole dives into the journey of healing the 'Secret Witch' within and becoming a fully expressed healer, including the need for self-healing, sisterhood, and the importance of embracing all aspects of ourselves (both light and dark). She explains the misconception of ‘quick fixes’ in the healing industry, and the importance of taking time to ‘become’ a healer - and the layers of personal and ancestral wounds that need to be journeyed with, explaining how Soul mapping and Archetypal Remedies can guide the process. What You’ll Learn from this Episode: The Secret Witch is a woman who longs to become a healer but is held back by 3 common fears of losing control (failure), security, and approval (which have her hide her gifts) Signs that indicate a call to becoming a healer and being a ‘Secret Witch’ include feeling lost in a chaotic life, being a sensitive empath, experiencing burnout, and going through a messy portal Embracing the role of a ‘healer’ requires us to learn how to authentically face and heal our ‘Secret Witch’ healer fears, so we can fully step into our deeper gifts and purpose. The journey of healing the 'Secret Witch' within and becoming a fully expressed healer takes time and personal healing (which is not often something that’s taught) The true art and science of self-healing involves embracing all aspects of oneself, including the light and dark - the Secret Witch is really a call to deeper LOVE - quick fixes’ and outsourcing our healing to others are not effective in the long run Healing personal wounds and ancestral wounds are essential in the process of becoming a healer - and having a soul map for that and our archetypal remedies can guide the healing journey and help discover and express our gifts more easily.
