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!

In this episode, I discuss dysfunctional family systems and how what we learn in childhood can follow us around forever, unless we take steps to move outside of these wounds, traumas, assumptions, and dysfunctions. I discuss examples of how this can impact how we interact in the workplace, in our friendships, and in our romantic relationships. Includes recommendations for resources to understand these dynamics.

People often talk smack about anxiously attached people, but how about those avoidant folks out here on these streets breaking everyone's heart into smithereens? In this episode of the Secrets of a Witch podcast, I discuss anxious attachment, why they're the most common people to encounter in the dating landscape for all my fellow single people, what could have caused this, and some questions to ask and things to be on the lookout for as you date and try to avoid the avoidants!

In this episode of the Secrets of a Witch podcast, I discuss something we all experience at least once in our lives - the ending of relationships! Whether it's romantic or friendship, we've all had relationships end, and many of us have been dumped. I talk about how the best way to approach being dumped or left is simply to accept it, rather than fight it or seeking endless conversations and closure. I talk about how closure should come from within ourselves, and we should not rely on others for our own healing process and ability to move on. Closure is within you, nowhere else.

A lotta witches are miserable, unhappy, and ungrounded - they do magic for the wrong reasons, such as emotional instability, pettiness, anger, jealousy, or something else. Magic can absolutely be worked with to help us heal from trauma (as I talk about in my second graphic novel Bodymagic), however it seems that many people in witchcraft land aren't using magic to heal, but rather to further entrench themselves in their own negative habits, mindsets, and unhealthy ways of thinking. Our magic is limited by our own state of mind. In this episode, I discuss the state of witchy community, and how I think we can all work with magic in better, healthier ways.

Is forgiveness necessary or relevant when we are healing our trauma, our shadows, and our wounds? Do we need to forgive family members, or anyone who has hurt us in the past? In this episode, I discuss my own healing journey, and how forgiveness - though it was not on my radar at all, and was not something I strived for - somehow happened to me anyway. Is forgiveness necessary for your journey? I explain why or why not, and offer a perspective contrary to what we tend to see in a lot of pop psych woo woo spaces. With so many people seeing family this holiday season, it seems a relevant topic to discuss!

Hi friends! It's been a hot minute! ...Why? Well, because I got sick as a dog the day November Mercury Retrograde began, and recovered the day it ended. I'll take you through my lil three week whirlwind into the hellscape of contemplation and reflection, what I learned, why I think it happened, and what you can do and learn if the same thing happened to you (or does in the future). I also go against a lot of Mercury Retrograde advice and reach out to not one, not two, but three people from my past - and all of it goes surprisingly well. Also, Year Ahead Tarot for 2026 is available now! Book your reading at sabrinamscott.com/readings - let's see what the new year has in store for you!

In this episode, I take some inspiration from my brand new book of mundane magic rituals, A Witch at Home! In preparation for cozy season, I discuss an important ritual that's become a part of my lifestyle - regular audits of the pantry, freezer, and fridge! I discuss how this relates to magic and energetics, and how using what we have (whether it's that can of beans at the back of the pantry, or the soup at the back of the freezer, or the half-done lipstick in our makeup bag) can connect us deeply to the energy of gratitude and abundance. Yes, it's everyday stuff - but trust me, when we notice magic in the every day, our life can drastically change for the better.
