On the Secret Witch Show today, Nicole is naming the sacred heartbreak of witnessing powerful women flirt with their magic - saying yes to their calling, but (innocently) not fully choosing the deep, raw soul work with the true devotion it requires. This episode is a truth-telling spell for the sensitive, gifted witches who keep circling their magic, dancing around it, waiting for the perfect moment - yet letting fear, doubt, and the trance of the mundane lead.

In this episode, we explore how resistance shows up, the hidden fears that keep us from devotion, and why magic isn’t something to add to your ‘to do’ list - it’s a way to live. Nicole shares what it really means to ‘choose’ your life as a living ritual, and how self-trust is built in micro-moments of staying present with yourself - especially when it’s hard. If you’re done waiting and ready to finally become the remedy, you’ll find the fire you need here.

What You’ll Learn from this Episode:

• Flirting with our witch is a form of fear - when we circle our magic without choosing it fully, we’re protecting ourselves from the depth of transformation we say we want

• Resistance is the remedy; the moment we want to run is often the very doorway into our next initiation - if we can stay just one breath longer

• Readiness is an illusion - we think we need to feel ‘ready’ to begin, but devotion is what actually builds the readiness we long for

• Self-trust is born in small, sacred daily choices - every moment we stay present with ourselves instead of avoiding our magic, we reclaim a lost part of our soul

• Magic isn’t something to do - it’s how we live. Real devotion isn’t a ‘to-do’ list; it’s how we meet our life, with presence, honesty, and soul

• You are already the remedy - our work is not to ‘become magical’, but to remember we always were - and to stop abandoning that truth.
