Six months ago, I released the very first episode of Witch Beneath the Willow — and this week, I wanted to pause beneath the branches and properly introduce myself.

In this special anniversary episode, I’m sharing my story: who I am beyond my witchcraft, how magic has shaped my life from childhood to now, why the willow became my sanctuary, and how this podcast was born during a season when I needed light, joy, and connection the most.

We talk about living with anxiety, working in child welfare, balancing professionalism with magic, redefining rest, and learning that wellness itself is spellwork. I reflect on six months of showing up every week, the lessons that consistency has taught me, and the quiet power of community and shared wonder.

This episode is less about teaching and more about being — a soft, honest conversation meant to feel like sitting beneath the willow together, where it’s safe to rest, dream, and be exactly who you are.

Whether you’ve been here since the beginning or you’re just finding your way, I’m so glad you’re here.

Brew some tea, get comfortable, and meet the witch beneath the willow.
