Busy, Gritty, Inked, and Witchy Podcast

January has never felt like a true reset for Morgan, and in this episode, she explains why. Rather than following the traditional New Year's resolution cycle, Morgan shares how Imbolc has functioned as her real energetic New Year for over 20 years. Drawing from her long-standing relationship with the goddess Brigid, Morgan explores how Imbolc operates as a slow awakening rather than a forced restart. This episode isn't about Sabbat correspondences or ritual instructions. Instead, it focuses on what Imbolc does: how it lights the inner flame of inspiration, clarity, and motivation before action is ever required. For listeners who struggle with New Year's resolutions or feel disconnected from January goal-setting, this episode offers a validating reframe: they may not be behind, they may simply be aligned differently. In this episode, Morgan discusses: Why January 1st often feels energetically disconnected How Imbolc serves as a natural reset point instead of a forced one The difference between inspiration and immediate action How Brigid's energy has shaped Morgan's yearly rhythm Why honoring personal energetic patterns matters more than following the calendar How slow emergence creates sustainable momentum This episode is for witches who value intuition over performance, seasonal flow over hustle, and magick that integrates into real life.

Have you ever felt anxiety hit the moment a new opportunity opens up? That tightness in your chest. The nervous system freak-out. The urge to stay small, safe, and familiar. In this episode, Morgan dives deeper into embodiment and explores what actually happens after you decide to step into a new identity. When your old self resurfaces. When fear masquerades as intuition. When your nervous system tries to drag you back to what's comfortable instead of what's aligned. You'll learn how to tell the difference between anxiety and intuitive knowing, why your old identity shows up right before expansion, and the four-step process Morgan personally uses to move through fear, embodiment, and big decisions without self-betrayal. In this episode, we cover: Why anxiety is not intuition (and never has been) How your nervous system reacts when you're about to expand What it really means when your old identity "tests" you The difference between fear, protection, and true intuitive knowing A four-step process to move through big decisions with embodiment Why staying can be a conscious choice, not a failure How to support your decisions with aligned action Links & Resources: Feral Witch Energy Embodiment Activation (Class): https://www.inkedgoddesscreations.com/products/feral-witch-energy-embodiment-activation Join Morgan on her Patreon for exclusive bonus content.

In this deeply personal and powerful episode, Morgan kicks off 2026 by sharing her Word of the Year: Embodiment and what it truly means to live, choose, and be the energy you say you want. After a brutal end to 2025, a cross-country road trip, illness, anxiety, and a Super Full Moon in Cancer that cracked everything wide open, Morgan found herself stripped down to the core. What emerged wasn't just clarity, but a call to stop knowing and start being. This episode explores embodiment not as a buzzword, but as a lived, daily practice that touches your magick, your body, your business, your boundaries, and your future self. In this episode, Morgan covers: What embodiment actually means in a magickal and real-world sense How anxiety, panic attacks, and imposter syndrome pulled her back into her body The Super Full Moon in Cancer meltdown that revealed what needed to change The five embodied actions she took immediately to reset her life and business Setting boundaries in sacred spaces and calling in the right people Why embodiment requires honesty, even when it's uncomfortable How to embody your future self through daily, mundane decisions Releasing people-pleasing and finally taking up space in business This episode is an invitation to stop circling who you might become and start living as who you already are underneath the noise.

What if witchcraft didn't have to be complicated to be powerful? In this episode of Busy, Gritty, Inked & Witchy, Morgan reflects on over 25 years of practicing witchcraft and shares the six most important lessons she wishes she had known as a beginner witch.

If you're new to witchcraft, feeling burned out, questioning your practice, or evolving beyond an old spiritual identity, this episode will meet you exactly where you are.
