In today’s episode we’ll talk about incorporating magical guidance into the moving process. We’ll shift from a theoretical idea of spirituality to practically incorporating spirit into your life. We’ll explore how turning to your pr...

Knowing how to rest and when to trust are two skills many of us struggle to master. Slowing down and letting go require setting our egos aside in order to open ourselves up to something greater. In this conversation, I'll share how this is personally showing up for me after a recent bout with Covid and a possible house move on the horizon. Enjoy this slow stroll through the woods as you refle...

Imbolc is upon us! We blinked and we’re already halfway through the dark season. Call upon the guidance of Goddess Brigid as we linger in this moment, right between the winter solstice and the spring equinox. This is an ideal time to start sowing  seeds. During this rainy walk, imagine what you will release this Imbolc to make space for all the things you hope to birth as the warmth and light retu...

Have you ever just had one of those weeks? You know the kind... when everything gets under your skin and leaves you feeling kind of prickly and irritated. We've all been there and sometimes upon reflection we find that there are other emotions bubbling right under the surface. In this conversation, we'll explore annoyance, fear, and the need to adapt when things just don't go your w...

What is more comforting than bread? The mundane task of making bread becomes nothing short of magical as you experience the alchemy of turning a sourdough starter into a mouth-watering loaf of goodness! The ritual of bread baking offers us connection, comfort, and life-giving sustenance. On these chilly, dark days, warm your home, hearth, and belly with a delicious loaf made by your own two hands....

If you connect with hearth witchcraft or identify as a kitchen witch, hygge is a concept you’ll eagerly welcome into your life. The Danish word hygge can be defined as a quality of coziness that comes from doing simple things such as lighting candles, baking, or spending time at home with your family (Cambridge Dictionary). Steaming cups of coffee, a crackling fire, soft blankets, cozy socks,  fli...

Welcome to 2024! As we step into this next calendar year, give yourself the time to slow down and tune in to the messages within. The winter initiation ritual is a wonderful way to start this process, but the practice needn't stop there. As we settle into the darker, colder months, we have the opportunity to embrace deep introspection, slow rituals, and profound spiritual connection. Light a...

A new cycle is beginning! The end of the calendar year is a wonderful time to reflect on the past year and make magic for the year to come. As we step into the New Year, what do we want to call into our lives? This is a time to move beyond shallow resolutions and intentionally align with our deeper knowing. What must you let go of? What is your soul calling you to create now? This episode offers a...

Happy Solstice! At the time of this recording, Yule is officially upon us and Christmas is just days away! This is the time when many of us start thinking that we haven’t done “enough”. We worry that we haven’t bought enough, baked enough, sent enough cards etc. These thoughts of not "enough-ness" wear us down and deny us of our sense of contentment. This episode is all about embracing “...

The Winter Solstice is almost here! What better time to sit in front of the old yule log, surrounded by fragrant evergreens and mistletoe?! The Christmas season can sometimes feel overwhelming with so much commercialism and fanfare, but the solstice reminds us to slow down, reconnect with nature, and gather with loved ones around a simple, cozy fire. Take some time this season to remember what thi...

The holidays should be a time of light and joy, but they can also be a time where our shadow self takes over. Grief can come upon us in both expected and unexpected ways. This season, instead of stuffing our losses deep down, perhaps we can explore our feelings of sadness by exposing them to the light.  As we take this journey through the rain, allow the tears to flow while you connect with what w...

Holidays can be a magical time, but they can also be a time of energetic overload and letdown. Do you find yourself setting your holiday expectations so high that you inevitably wind up disappointed? Do you have a holiday vision in your mind that rarely matches reality? If so, rest assured that you're not alone! If you'd like to step off this emotional holiday roller coaster, try setting...

The holidays are supposed to be a joyous time, right? But have you ever noticed how people can easily become cranky, overwhelmed, and downright miserable to be around at this celebratory time of year? Maybe this even describes you... don't fret, it doesn't have to be this way. In this episode, we'll explore simple, affordable ways to raise your vibration this holiday season. From fo...

When you think about the truly magical holiday moments you've experienced throughout your life, what comes to mind? Is it the spending money you don't have? Or waiting in endlessly long shopping lines to buy things nobody really needs? Painfully posed holiday photos?... probably not... Before diving mindlessly into holiday chaos this season, stop to think about the wonder your soul reall...

It's that time of year again... the energy starts to pick up as the holiday season approaches. The magic of this celebratory time often gets lost in the shuffle of activities. How do we stay present when our calendar fills to the brim? How do we maintain our rituals when we're running on empty? If we want to keep our spiritual practice at the center of our lives, we must first release th...

Creating a magical practice doesn't have to be complicated or carefully curated. What if we strived for authenticity in our practice rather than perfection? Engaging in simple daily rituals is arguably more impactful and more enjoyable than embarking on the occasional complicated craft. Remove the limiting expectations and allow yourself to settle into an authentic (possibly messy) practice o...

Samhain is upon us! The veil is thin and our ancestors are waiting to be invited to the table. In this episode, we'll talk about the history of this ancient festival and how to bring these sacred practices into our modern lives.  This episode may inspire you to carve a pumpkin (or creepy turnip!), host a dumb supper, and create an alter for your ancestors. Grab that pumpkin spice latte and le...

Am I a witch? This seemingly simple question is actually quite complicated for many of us to answer. How do you know if the label applies to you? And if it does apply to you, does it even matter? Do we claim it? Or keep it hidden? This episode explores how to go about defining this word for yourself through intentional silence and following your  inner knowing. We'll marvel at the explosion o...

The October New Moon and solar eclipse is upon us! This is a time for turning inward and setting intentions for what you'd like to grow during the upcoming moon cycle. We'll talk about clearing the decks in order to create a more conducive space for the reflective work the new moon calls us to do. The autumn leaves are finally starting to change as we take this crisp morning walk through...

How do we honor our natural cycles when our culture constantly demands linear productivity? Is there a way to rest and restore amidst the busyness of modern-day life? How can ritual and practice keep us connected to our spiritual center?  This episode will explore how to find moments of connection and grounding and why it's critical to our mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. This con...

Finding magic in the mundane just might be the secret to a joyful life. In this episode, we'll talk about how an ordinary existence can be full of more intention, meaning and, yes, magic! If you're a fan of Trader Joe's, cinnamon brooms, and pumpkin spice lattes (a polarizing beverage, for sure!) then this episode is for you. Today's witchy walk will include rushing water, invi...

Welcome to Witchy Woman Walking! I'm thrilled to have you here for this introductory episode. This podcast is like a moving meditation; I'm bringing you with me on my walks as I connect with nature and spirit. For me, autumn (fall) is the best time to connect with our witchy selves. And since Mabon is upon us, this conversation will be full of inspiration surrounding the autumn equinox....
