HEAR HER with Heather Dressel

Come gather around the hearth with me for a little while. 🔥

In this episode of HEAR HER, we’re standing at the mirror with the Witch…

She Who Remembers Her Magic

Maybe the word Witch fascinates you. Maybe it still makes something inside of you tighten a little. Maybe you’ve been calling yourself a Witch for years. Or maybe you’re like, Heather, absolutely fucking not.

My love, there’s space for all of it.

Because before we can stand at the mirror with the Witch and notice what she reflects back to us, I think we have to remember what we’ve been taught about her.

Together, we’ll explore:

• some of the herstory and many faces of the Witch
• the scary Witches so many of us were taught to fear — and the wise woman I see reflected in her now
• my own journey out of the broom closet and learning to let more of myself be seen
• the Witch wound and the pieces of ourselves we’ve learned to hide away
• the Sisterhood wound and what it means to trust ourselves in relationship with other women
• intuition, discernment, and learning our own unique flavor of connection
• the Whole Witch — light and dark, tenderness and rage, Maiden and Crone, magic and mundane
• weaving magic into the mundane and remembering just how fucking magical we already are

Inviting you to stay curious as you listen.

What does the Witch reflect back to you? What parts of yourself have you tucked away? What might you be ready to call back home?

Wanna join us inside the HEAR HER Sisterhood to play and explore with the Witch?

Archetypal healing is one of the threads deeply woven through the HEAR HER Sisterhood, an intuitive playground for sensitive women nestled inside a community app with a choose-your-own-intuitive-adventure vibe.

Inside, our Spiral Journey space is an ever-growing collection of archetypes to meet, journey with, reflect upon, and return to again and again. Not because we’re trying to become them, but because they are beautiful mirrors, helping us see, remember, and understand parts of ourselves.

This month we’re playing and exploring with the Witch through Herstory + Reflections, an Inner Cauldron Guided Journey, rituals and practices, journal prompts, and plenty of invitations to discover how the Witch speaks through your own intuitive language.

And there’s so much more to explore: guided journeys, rituals, moon magic, oracle wisdom, intuitive practices, community, and plenty of space to simply play and explore with your unique intuitive language. PLUS 4 live seasonal gatherings on Zoom!

We’re still in the beautiful beginning stages of welcoming sisters and weaving this nest together. If something in you is whispering oooooh... this feels like my kind of place, come play with us!

🔥 THE HEARTH: Volume I: Finding My Way Back to Women
Hearth Letter 4: Can you HEAR HER?

Welcome to The Hearth, an ongoing collection of letters, stories + reflections from one sister traveler to another, shared with my email community, and I'm reading and recording them for you, my lovely listeners.

In our first volume, Finding My Way Back to Women, I’m sharing my own messy, beautiful journey with sisterhood—the wounds, the women who changed me, the communities that helped me feel less alone, and what I’ve learned about the medicine of finding spaces where we can be witnessed, supported + fully ourselves.

We begin at the threshold of a new season, with Persephone as our mirror and guide.

What season are you in right now—a descent, a return, or that strange in-between where you can feel something changing but can't quite name it yet?

Grab a cuppa, take me on a walk, curl up somewhere cozy…and come gather around the Hearth with us. 🔥

Come gather around the hearth with me for a little while. 🔥

In this episode of HEAR HER, we’re walking with the Greek Goddess Persephone…

She Who Walks Between Worlds

You may know her as Kore, the Maiden gathering flowers in the meadow when the earth opens beneath her. She’s taken into the Underworld and eventually becomes its Queen.

Her story invites us to explore the places where Maiden meets Queen, meadow meets Underworld, tenderness meets strength, and descent eventually spirals toward return.

Together, we’ll explore:

• Persephone’s ancient Herstory and her journey from Maiden to Queen
• the descents we don’t choose — and the hard things we do
• what it means to adapt without abandoning ourselves
• the parts of ourselves we may only discover in the dark
• what we choose to carry home from our Underworlds — and what we’re ready to lay down
• the possibility that we can know darkness deeply and still pick flowers in the meadow

Inviting you to stay curious as you listen. What does Persephone reflect to you?

Wanna join us inside the HEAR HER Sisterhood to play and explore with Persephone? 

Archetypal healing is one of the threads deeply woven through the HEAR HER Sisterhood, an intuitive playground for sensitive women nestled inside a community app with a choose your own intuitive adventure vibe.

JOIN US before 9/22 and gather with us for Autumn Alchemy -  As the wheel turns, we pause to honor what’s been and release what we don't want to carry into the new season, where we are now, and we're calling in for the new season.

We’re still in the beautiful beginning stages of welcoming sisters and weaving this nest together. If something in you is whispering oooooh... this feels like my kind of place, come play with us!

Welcome back to the HEAR HER Podcast!

In this special Season 5 finale, Heather reflects on the journey that's unfolded over the past six months and the unexpected lesson waiting for her on the other side.

She set out to create a season exploring community—what it means, how we find it, and why it matters. But somewhere along the way, she realized she wasn't simply searching for community... she was searching for belonging.

In this heartfelt solo episode, Heather shares what she's learned through nineteen conversations with remarkable women, the courage it takes to seek connection as a highly sensitive person, and how years of following quiet intuitive breadcrumbs have led her to create the space she'd always wished she'd had—the HEAR HER Sisterhood.

IN THIS EPISODE

• Reflections from Season 5 and conversations with nineteen inspiring women
• The difference between community and belonging
• What years of seeking have taught Heather about connection
• Why belonging doesn't require a large community
• Following intuitive breadcrumbs and tending your own garden
• How one conversation can lead to meaningful connection
• The February gathering that changed everything
• The inspiration behind the HEAR HER Sisterhood
• Why slowing down, resting, and honoring our own rhythms matters
• What's coming in Season 6 and beyond
