When the Goddess Isis first appeared in my life, she came in her role as the great mother goddess. She taught me what it meant to love unconditionally and with boundaries.

In this episode, I trace that lesson through two decades of business, betrayal, and loss: from finding my first mentor and building a multimillion-dollar company with my partner, to hiring my family, surviving public meltdowns, and realising that money doesn’t heal generational wounds.

When I returned to Egypt with my clients in 2018, everything unravelled — my family's volatility, losing my people, and the collapse of what “family” meant. Through grief, death, and the ache of estrangement, I found myself asking: what happens when the people who were meant to love you are the ones whose love costs you your peace?

When my Dad died last year, it lead to a series of events that ended with me becoming estranged from my entire family. Over the last 12 months, I've been reflecting a lot - on my life, on grief and death, and on what it means to belong, when it feels like almost everything that defined who you were, is ripped away.

One of my earliest memories is asking my mum if I was adopted ... and hoping the answer was yes. Feeling different from my family, bullied at school, and raised by 70s New Agers, I found my first Witch book at the age of 7 and never looked back.

In this opening episode of Untethered, I trace the roots of my witchcraft and a question that has always haunted me: what does it mean to belong? From mind-reading classes and ouija boards to ancestor worship and land magic, I explore how colonial ancestry and family trauma have shaped my relationship to spirit, power, and place.
