The Secret Witch Show

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.

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!

On the Secret Witch Show today our guest is Molly-Anne Chinner. Born from the fairytale landscapes of South West England, Molly is a British sound healer, vocalist, multidimensional musician and founder of The Tone Temple - a growing sanctuary for crystalline sound, practitioner training, and ethically sourced alchemy instruments. Molly's work bridges crystalline sound, devotional voicework, earth magic, and esoteric teachings, guiding students into the deeper currents of sonic alchemy, crystalline resonance, sacred geometry, light body activation, and the art of holding transformational healing spaces with integrity, skill and soul. Molly's creations all carry the same devotion: to awaken remembrance, to restore coherence, and to re-weave our connection to both the Earth beneath our feet and our ancestry in the stars.
In this episode, we explore Clear Quartz as both an archetypal remedy and a healing frequency, diving into the deeper currents of sonic alchemy through Molly's lens - from crystalline resonance and sympathetic vibration to the way sound interacts with our bones, cells and the 'crystalline matrix' within us. Molly shares how Clear Quartz reflects the whole cosmic pattern of the universe, how our bodies recognise crystal sound as 'like meets like', and why intention is the true foundation of frequency healing. Exploring the work of Dr Emoto and Veda Austin, revealing how sound, and intention create crystalline coherence in both water and the body, we speak about the unstruck sound within the heart, the soul-song each of us carries, the star-wisdom encoded in our bodies, and the invitation to return to rest and stillness so we can hear the music beneath the noise. This conversation is a remembrance of coherence, belonging, and the truth that we are not separate from the great symphony of the cosmos.
What You'll Learn from this Episode:
We are made of light and sound - at subatomic levels, the body is a field of vibration constantly moving, shifting and singing

Clear Quartz holds a crystalline matrix that reflects the entire cosmic pattern - a fractal of the universe encoded in mineral form

Our bones carry silica, which creates sympathetic resonance with crystal bowls - allowing our bodies to 'recognise' and embody their sound

Pure intention creates coherence - demonstrated through the cymatic work of Dr. Emoto and Veda Austin, where sound and prayer shape crystalline structure

Stillness and silence are essential for hearing the 'unstruck sound' of the heart - the deeper, eternal music beneath the mind

Each of us carries a unique soul-song - a personal note in the great cosmic symphony that guides our belonging, coherence and healing.

On the Secret Witch Show today, Nicole explores the tender edge between hiding and shining - speaking to the Secret Witch who senses she has a 'brilliance' yet still doubts her gifts. With December's darkness as a mirror, she invites us to notice where we've been dimming the diamond within - the inner Clear Quartz gemstone - and remember that brilliance isn't performance or perfection, but honesty, transparency, and the courage to be seen exactly as we are.
Nicole shares the crystalline moment she chose to step off a well-worn path and birth the Archetypal Apothecary™, weaving Clear Quartz medicine through the very real fears of over-preparing, waiting for permission, and feeling 'too much' and 'not enough' simultaneously. This episode is a heart-to-heart on reclaiming both our spiritual and logical brilliance, with gentle enquiries to meet your own soft edge of hiding and beginning to discover, embody and express your unique medicine as a healer.
What You'll Learn from this Episode:
Owning our brilliance isn't arrogance - it's honesty. It's the willingness to see ourselves clearly, without shrinking or performing, and to let our true light be witnessed

Hiding once kept us safe - but it now it keeps us small. The same armour that once protected us has become the veil between us and our magic

Brilliance doesn't mean having certainty - it means being courageous enough to speak the truth you do have today

You don't need another certificate to validate your gifts. Your lived experience is your qualification - your body of work is already being written through you

Fear of being 'too much' or 'not enough' is simply the threshold of growth - when we meet it with love and truth, it becomes the doorway to our genius

Clear Quartz teaches us that clarity is born from pressure - the very tension we resist may be what's polishing our brilliance.

On the Secret Witch Show today, our guest is Tad Hargrave. Tad is a hippy who developed a knack for marketing (and then learned how to be a hippy again). Since 2001, he's been weaving together strands of ethical marketing, Waldorf School education, a history in the performing arts, local culture work, anti-globalization activism, an interest in his ancestral, traditional cultures, community building and supporting local economies into this work of helping people create profitable businesses that are ethically grown while restoring the beauty of the marketplace.
In this episode, we explore how our deepest wounds often point toward the wisdom we're here to share with the world as healers. Tad offers a refreshing lens on marketing as healing - showing how integrity, honesty, and right-relationship can become sacred acts of service. We speak about transforming our wounds into our gifts, learning to share our magic without manipulation, and reclaiming business as a soulful exchange that honours both the Witch and the world.

What You'll Learn from this Episode:
Coercion is everywhere - from birth to business - but healing begins when we choose integrity over manipulation

We are branded by life - marked by our wounds in ways that show where our true medicine lives

Our wounds show us the terrain we know best - the places we can now guide others through with humility and heart

True marketing is love in action - remembering that business can be a sacred exchange, not a performance of persuasion

Credibility doesn't come from certificates - it comes from 'heft': the weight of having lived, healed, walked the land and returned with wisdom to share

When we turn our wounds into architecture - creating real offerings rooted in what we've healed - our work becomes medicine for the world.
