In this episode of The Secrets of a Witch Podcast, I discuss the importance of aligning our attention with our intention. Many people these days seem to be addicted to (and easily sucked into) mindless content online, or even outrage olympics rage bait online. Instead of spending hours arguing on the internet or scrolling through cat videos from the entire time you get off work til when you go to bed, ask yourself - what else could you be doing with your time? Don't you have something to create, something to do, something to learn, or even something restful that would actually replenish and revive you? Controlling and containing our own energy and attention is crucial when we consider what it takes to have a good life where we fulfill and execute on our purpose and passion.

We are in a society where most kinds of aggression and masculinity are demonized and denigrated as bad, evil, or unhealthy. But is there such a thing as healthy aggression? In this episode, I talk about the importance of viciousness, standing up for ourselves, fighting back (when necessary and from a healthy place), the survival instinct, and what I call warrior energy. Knowing which fights to get into (and why) is a big part of this. Unfortunately, much aggressive raw survival energy is wasted on stupid online arguments and pointless protests. In this episode, I explore what warrior energy means and can look like in the contemporary world, what causes our lack of it (and extreme misdirection of it when it's present), and where we can channel this energy instead (and why we should be aware of any of this at all).

There is this strange idea floating around that spiritual people need to be docile doormats, or never stand up for ourselves when we are attacked. In this episode, I talk about how important it is to stand up for ourselves when it is necessary and warranted to do so. In 2026, I want all of y'all to feel comfortable and justified in standing up for yourselves. Standing up for yourself is not 'doing harm' to someone else. It is important that we are able to embody warrior energy, and not start fights, but finish them when we are in the right circumstances. Step into your power and confidence in 2026!
