On the Secret Witch Show today, Nicole is illuminating the tender ache that arises when witches dare to want - and then feel unworthy to receive it. This episode is a healing invocation for the women who are opening to name their true desires - only to find shame, doubt, and old fear flooding in. It's for the sensitive-hearted magic-makers who have danced with their longings, but still hesitate at the threshold of letting them come in.

In this episode, we explore why desire is sacred (not selfish), how the Witch uses longing as a compass, and what it really takes to receive what we've called in - without burning out, bypassing your body, or shrinking into unworthiness. Nicole weaves the radiant flame of Archetypal Phosphorus through the journey of feminine creation, sharing somatic wisdom, soul stories, and a liberating reframe of manifestation as a state of being. If you've been hovering at the edge of your deepest longing to create a life as a healer witch, this one is for you.

What You'll Learn from this Episode:

• Desire isn't selfish - it's sacred. It's how our inner Witch whispers "this way" to our soul. Naming what we truly want is a powerful spell to create it.

• Shaming our desires drains our life-force. Suppression doesn't keep us safe - it keeps us sick. Manifesting our desires is actually a return to health and vitality.

• You're already manifesting - always. The question is, are you creating from your soul, or from your unconscious wounding?

• If you've experienced trauma, receiving might feel unsafe - but it's not our fault. Our body learned to protect us this way. And now, our healing begins by gently opening again.

• The feminine body is built to receive - but how safe do you feel in unapologetic pleasure, in asking for what you need, in being seen in your desires?

• Desire is our birthright - not something we earn when you're finally 'worthy enough'. The Witch within you already knows she is worthy of a life that lights her up.
