The WitchHunt Podcast

Welcome to episode 4 of season 2 of the witch-hunt podcast — You Are The Medicine: A Deep Healing Conversation with Indigenous Healer, Mentor, International Best Selling Author, and Ceremonial Speaker, Asha Frost.

In this episode, Asha shares her own healing journey and how this was part of opening up to her own medicine. She shares her belief (and practice) that honors everyone as a teacher to her, and how her learning from the wisdom of others outside of her traditions helped her to trust her magic and strengthen her relationship with her own medicine. 

We talk about her “Letter to White Women” which she wrote as an invitation to white women to be mindful of their own grief and pain, an invitation to those interested in taking in Indigenous Medicine, to do so while concurrently taking in the WHOLE story of indigenous people. (You can find it here: https://ashafrost.com/dearwhitewoman/)   

Asha shares her wise reflections on what Ceremony is, the importance of the inner work in freeing the feminine dismantling of the colonial and patriarchal systems into which we were born. We talk about the magic of the turtle shell, the Sugar Moon teachings to come home to unconditional kindness or love. And so much more. 

Towards the end, Asha blesses us with deer medicine — a beautiful healing journey all listeners will benefit from.

There is so much wisdom here — enjoy!

Welcome to the 11th episode — episode 3 of season 2, of the WitchHunt podcast!

This is an exceptionally touching conversation with Witch and Heart Guide Arya Yaguareté, who shares with us her dark night of the soul, and how honoring the shadow and the truth that lay within the shadow led her to the most mystical of rebirths.

Arya shares with us her courageous story of miscarriage, divorce and leaving her 6-figure job as a corporate leader in Toronto to honor her true calling in a small mountain town. She tells us how these experiences — albeit terrifying at times — took her into to her true, empowered self. And how she has, throughout it all, managed to honor each and every part of her journey so as to emerge whole, wise, strong and in a place of full trust.

One of my favorite nuggets is Arya’s wise share around how the witchhunts and long-standing witchwound that stems from us turning on our sisters can serve us in deepening an authentic relationship with ourselves. Listen to the episode to hear more.

This is an episode for all you Witches out there who are curious about shadow work, and the potential it has to support your fulfillment, magic potential and energetic expansion.

I know you’re going to love it!

Wow!

We’re really feeling into some of that Arian energies as we head into Season 2 of the WitchHunt podcast!

Our first episode of the season is an interview with Dr. Angela Lauria, who’s recently taken on the Goddess name Kali, stepping fully into her embodiment of the Goddess’ energy, as she embraces a radical identity shift.

Dr. Angela Lauria is an incredible woman and mother and entrepreneur, who I met in person at the StarBucks next to our kids’ school in Washington D.C. many moons ago. She is founder of The Author Incubator™ and creator of the Difference Process™ for writing a book that matters. I’ve watched Angela evolve into a successful 7-figure, then 8-figure entrepreneur and activist over the years. I was most blown away, though, by her most recent pandemic-induced transformation, which led her to establish the Socially Responsible Coaching Alliance — for coaches, consultants, authors, and speakers who want to create a more equitable society by building sustainable businesses that promote environmental, economic, and social justice. 

One of the reasons I wanted Angela on the podcast was to share the Alliance’s new mission. And when I reached out to her, I had no idea of the personal transformation and rebirth that came along with this endeavour.

I was blown away!

In this episode we talk about evolutionary shifts of masculine and feminine energies in our lives and businesses, and the synonymous call to shift away from polarized black and white thinking towards the messy and unknown navigation of the grey that lies in-between. We talk about mind and heart coherence and how we’re witnessing souls (vs brains) taking stronger roles in decision-making.

Angela shares so much wisdom. She tells us how she honors destruction as part of the creation process and, related, how she stopped feeling like her own name and sought astrological and numerological guidance in her rebirth and renaming experience — taking on Kali, Hindu Goddess of Destruction, as part of her official identity. She shares her embrace of imperfection, and her be-do-be-do dance. Or, in other words, the importance of BEING who we want to become and not only doing what we need to do as a means of manifesting magic and creating miracles, two concepts, which she differentiates in detail. Angela also shares her struggle with depression, anti-depression medication and how in the end one simple, free, non-medicated, Earth-born ritual that anyone can tune into every single day cured her depression in the end — you’ll have to listen to the episode to learn her secret.

I can't wait to share Angela's energy with you in this episode! Enjoy!!!

We air this episode on the March Equinox of 2022, marking the second year anniversary of the global pandemic, the end of the astrological year (2021/22), and the bridge between season 1 and season 2 of the WitchHunt podcast!

Times of transition between endings and beginnings are, like these, a great time for reflection.

And in this episode, we attempt to make sense of something super basic that all of us have been pondering: WTF is going on here on planet Earth??!

I'm delighted to announce that in this bonus episode, Witch and Astrologist Patricia Panasri helps us gain perspective as she sheds some light on the astrological cycles that help to explain current events.

Every spiritually curious human needs to hear this episode — enjoy!!

In this episode you have the privilege of meeting witch, Patricia Panasri — an astrologer and business consultant who helps coaches and service providers get the confident cosmic confirmation to crank up the volume on their life's mission.

Patricia shares her story of transformation, and how she went from unconsciously rolling from one thing to the next until, after getting her Masters, she went backpacking through SE Asia.

From being a dedicated planner she found herself experiencing life where there was no path. In Thailand she learned to synch with the cycles of nature, to rest deeply and simply be. This is also where she fell in love, and started a family. And where she discovered the magic of astrology.

This episode tells the most beautiful story of a woman left home, to find home — from the inside out, and with a connection to the cosmos.

We talk about the practical power of astrology, how it helps you to make sense of the way of being that you already experience. We talk about the magic of mercury retrograde — and how it invites us to rest and reflect and live through/ learn from the mud that we sometimes need to go through on our way to success.

There is great wisdom, and an open door to more inner peace during these turbulent times.

Enjoy the episode!

Wow! This episode is revolutionary and for the mamas out there, it’ll hit very close to home and I know it’s a little early to do this, but I’m encouraging you to spread the post-patriarchal message for moms that’s rooted throughout this interview as far and wide as you can. (Yes, bringing the matriarchy home resonated deeply with me.)

Rebeka Gentian has created a living from her life as a designer + indie mama by embracing the creative feminine in the revolutionary act of mothering, by reimagining business as mother centered, and raising her family and her income at the same time.

No surprise, Rebeka’s a Witch!

In this episode, Rebeka takes us into her childhood where she shares tender stories of her experience turning to the great mother while her biological mother tended to her chronically ill younger brother. She tells of her inherent ability to communicate with her brother after he’d passed, and how this was one of the first times the considered that perhaps the world is not all she was being taught it was. All of this in a religious environment where there was no space to question authority.

Rebeka shares how in her 20s, it took a doctor’s telling her that she was going blind, and effectively losing her sight, for her to begin to question EVERYTHING —beginning with her exploration into non-conventional healing modalities. This was the beginning of her journey towards finding her own authority within.

Rebeka tells us how becoming a mother was that pivotal moment when finding her truth and living in alignment with it became a non-negotiable. And the amazing discoveries she unearthed when tracing her maternal lineage back to 1588!

She shares her passion and her commitment to place mothers at the centre of their lives — in their homes and in their businesses, sharing tips on post-patriarchal family life.

If you’re a mom struggling with overwhelm, and convinced that you can either be a good professional or a present mom, then this is for you? It’s also for you if you’re a mom exploring post-patriarchal ways of raising your kiddos.

So much good stuff! Enjoy the episode!

More about Rebeka

She dives into why us humans aren’t regulated in the modern world, and shares the most beautiful mothering morning routine that she practices in order to heal her nervous system and live energy first.
