Stay Magic

What does it actually look like to be a witchy woman when everything falls apart? In this living room edition of the Stay Magic Podcast, I'm sharing the full story of hosting our first large-scale in-person event in Salem, Massachusetts -- the photographer's car accident, the flat tire on the highway, the last-minute pivots -- and the real magic that carried us through all of it.

Spring arrives with all its fertile energy, and for a lot of women, it also arrives with something harder to name. That quiet pressure that says you should have bloomed by now. You should have broken ground by now. Everybody else is moving forward and you are stuck. That pressure has a name. It is the Witch Wound showing up at one of the year's most loaded celebrations. In this episode, Sara e...
