This is your Friday affirmation. Take a breath you didn't know you were holding. Exhale.

This week's affirmation is for the woman who has been asking for something — quietly, persistently, longer than she'd like to admit — and is starting to wonder why it hasn't arrived yet.

Today's affirmation: "What I've been calling in recognises me because I recognise myself."

This week's episode with Bronx Witch Aly Kravetz cracked something open for me. Spellwork, she says, isn't primarily about what you do externally. It's about whether your internal energy matches what you're calling in. Like attracts like. If the energy isn't aligned, what you're asking for has nowhere to land.

The question worth sitting with this weekend: do you recognise yourself as someone who belongs in the life you've been asking for?

Are you happy?

It sounds simple. But for Aly Kravetz — Bronx-born witch, tarot reader, Reiki practitioner and spiritual entrepreneur — that three-word question from her mum became the pivot point for everything: leaving law school, ending a marriage, and building something entirely her own from the ground up during a pandemic.

In this episode of The Scenic Route, Aly breaks down Spellwork 101 in a way that makes complete sense even if you've never touched a crystal in your life. Because spellwork isn't woo for the sake of woo. It's energy work. It's science. It's homeostasis with better candles.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why spellwork starts on the inside and falls flat if you skip that part
• The difference between spells (external) and inner work (non-negotiable)
• How Aly used ritual to navigate divorce, find self-love and rebuild her life
• Why your nightly shower is already a cleansing ritual — no crystals required
• What gratitude actually has to do with happiness (and why they're not the same thing)
• How to start a spiritual practice when you don't know where to begin

This one is for you if you're somewhere in the middle of your life, wondering, is this it? and you're open to trying something you haven't tried yet.

This is your Friday affirmation. Let's pause for a breath you didn't know you were holding. Exhale.

This week's Soft Landings affirmation is for the woman who's been spring-cleaning everything except her exhaustion.

Today's affirmation: "My body knows what's good for me."

Every Spring, you're told to declutter your wardrobe, your habits, your goals, your mindset, and if you don't feel the urge, something's wrong with you. But what if the constant push to optimise is exactly what's keeping you from the rest your body is actually asking for?

This week: less doing. More listening.
