    Ep 370: Burnout Isn’t a Time Problem. It’s an Aliveness Problem.

    You can have a calendar packed Monday morning to Sunday night and feel on top of the world. You can also have wide-open weekends and still end every day face-down on the sofa, doom scrolling, with nothing left. So what gives? It’s not a time management problem. Every person, environment, and task in your life is either generating your aliveness or consuming it. Burnout happens when too much of your day lands in the “consuming” column, and you keep doing it anyway because you don’t want to seem ungrateful, disruptive, or dramatic. In this episode, I’m walking you through the one question I come back to every time I feel burnt out, the story of how I had MORE energy with a baby on my hip and two businesses than I did years later doing far less, and why “boundaries” don’t mean getting other people to behave. They mean protecting the thing only you can protect. What you’ll learn:▸ The difference between generative and consumptive energy (and how to spot each in your own week)▸ Why burnout and overwhelm come from a mismatch between your inner world and your outer world▸ The “neutral” reframe that takes the guilt out of wanting something different▸ How to tell when something that used to light you up has quietly started draining you▸ What boundaries actually protect (hint: it’s not your schedule)▸ Where to start if you keep abandoning your spiritual practice and forgetting yourself Go through your calendar this week. What’s generating aliveness? What’s consuming it? That’s where this work begins.

    Ep 369: What Is Keeping the Peace Costing You? (Libra New Moon) ⭐

    Libra is the sign of beauty, harmony, and balance. Gorgeous! It's also the sign that knows every time you've bitten your tongue at the dinner table, apologized for something that wasn't yours to apologize for, or watered down what you were about to say so nobody got uncomfortable.That's Libra's shadow, and for women it sounds a whole lot like the witch wound.The Libra New Moon lands on October 10, 2026, well into Libra season, with the Sun and Moon both in Libra. In this episode I walk through what that double Libra energy asks of us as we set intentions for a new lunar cycle, and I give you two questions to sit with:🌑 What does balance look like in my inner world?🌑 What does it look like in my outer world?Then we get meta: how do I balance those two? Because so often we keep the outside smooth by staying fragmented on the inside.I also tell the story autumn tells through the zodiac (Libra, then Scorpio, then Sagittarius) and why it looks exactly like the holidays with your family. And we pull out the Justice card for the part of balance nobody embroiders on a pillow: something always gets the short end of the stick. The good news? You get to choose what.🌿 WHAT YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH✦ Two journal questions for setting your Libra New Moon intention✦ How Libra's shadow shows up as over-apologizing, tolerating, and staying quiet✦ The autumn zodiac story and where you are in it right now✦ A simple way to work with the air element daily: choose what you listen to, read, and take in this cycle✦ What the Justice card teaches about balance, and how to pick what gets less of you on purpose✦ Why calling something in at the new moon always means letting something else go💬 TELL MEDo you have a feeling-based vision for this lunar cycle? Tell me how you want to feel and the goal you're setting in the comments so we can cheer you on.CONNECT WITH THE SISTERS ENCHANTEDWebsite: https://thesistersenchanted.com/Instagram: https://instagram.com/the_sisters_enchantedFacebook: https://facebook.com/thesistersenchantedPodcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/37lNSDPfA6uUFxgUUzyTB9Stay magic, Enchanted Sister ✨

    Ep 368: How to Live a Magical Life When You're Grieving

    How do you live a life that feels like magic when you're grieving? You stop forcing the silver lining and start asking where the grief is living in your energy. In this episode, I walk you through how grief shows up in your root, sacral, solar plexus, and heart chakras, and how to use that awareness to hold sorrow and joy at the same time.👉 Join us inside The Enchanted Journey: https://signup.thesistersenchanted.com/EJ_July_2026Grief isn't only about losing a person. It's the pet you lost, the job you thought you'd retire from, or the birth story that didn't go the way you dreamed. A recent Round Table conversation with our community on grief inspired this one, and I'm sharing a piece of my own story too. "Life is the practice" doesn't always feel easy or make sense. In this video, you'll learn:✨ Why the "small" losses still count as grief✨ How grief destabilizes your root chakra and makes you feel like the "different one"✨ Why your sacral chakra can make you feel guilty for experiencing pleasure while grieving✨ How the solar plexus keeps you hiding your grief so you don't seem weak or annoying✨ What self-love looks like in your heart chakra when grief hits like the Three of Swords✨ The one question I ask every time: "How do I want to feel?"✨ The difference between spiritual bypassing and integrating light and shadowQuick answers:Is it spiritual bypassing to look for the positive while grieving?Not always. Gratitude helps, but forcing it when it doesn't feel true keeps grief stuck. Check in with your energy first.Which chakras hold grief?Grief often shows up in the root (instability), sacral (guilt around pleasure), solar plexus (fear of being seen), and heart (self-love and worth).Do you ever stop grieving?We don't let go of grief. We grow with it and expand our capacity to carry it alongside joy.🔮 Stay connected with The Sisters EnchantedWebsite: https://thesistersenchanted.com/Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/37lNSDPfA6uUFxgUUzyTB9Instagram: https://instagram.com/the_sisters_enchantedFacebook: https://facebook.com/thesistersenchantedStay magic, Enchanted Sister. 🌙

    Ep 367: 10 Years of Sisters Enchanted: How Holistic Witchery Was Born

    What would you do if your master's degree and $40K in student loans didn't matter? Back in 2015, my answer was "be a witch… but that's not a thing." And someone looked right at me and said, "It's a thing if you want it to be a thing."That moment started everything. Sisters Enchanted turned 10 this May, and with a new Holistic Witchery cohort opening its doors, I'm taking you on a walk down memory lane. You'll hear how a mastermind question, a lunch-break phone call from Anna, and a string of classes (Mindset Magic, Divination 101, Tarot, Everyday Magic, Moon Magic, Chakra Magic) came together into one program in April 2019. I'll also share what's changing for our October cohort and why.In this episode:✨ How the podcast went from Magic on the Inside to Expedition to Soul to Stay Magic✨ The first Sisters Enchanted class that flopped, and what I built from it✨ How the Born Magic framework (the 5i's) grew out of crying on the kitchen floor and getting back up anyway✨ The Expansion Archetypes, and the strength hiding inside every "weakness"✨ Why we folded astrology into Holistic Witchery, and how comparing my husband's birth chart with mine could have saved us a lot of time and money✨ What's new for the October cohort: fewer lectures and more live ritual, practice, and being witnessed✨ Why changing your mind when you get new information is a beautiful thingOur new Holistic Witchery cohort kicks off live on October 5th. Whether you're a returning student or brand new, I'd love for you to join us: https://signup.thesistersenchanted.com/holisticwitcheryUntil next time, stay magic, Enchanted Sister! 🌙

    Ep 366: Your Past, Present, and Future Self Are Your Support Team

    Your past self, present self, and future self are all listening to this video right now. The real question is whether they're on the same team.This is part 3 of our pre-Expedition to Soul series. Part 1 was about living your life as a magical practice, and part 2 was about you as the altar. This one is for the days when both of those feel impossible to remember. I'm talking about assembling your allies: calling every version of you back together so you can be your own support system instead of getting pulled in fifty directions at once.In this video:- Why at least three versions of you are hearing this video, and each one hears it differently- What "being your authentic self" even means when your identity can shift twenty times in one day- How fragmenting yourself shows up as zero motivation, negativity you can't shake, and practices you keep forgetting to do- The difference between creating your own energy and living in constant reaction to whatever's happening around you- Why so many of us treat our future self like a cousin we haven't talked to in 40 years- The two ways the past keeps us stuck: romanticizing it, or using it as proof that today can't be different- Why I'm not sold on "everything happens for a reason" (and yes, my husband likes to remind me I'm not all-knowing)- A simple way to call the scattered pieces of your energy back homeTry this after you watch:Picture past you, present you, and future you sitting right in front of you. Then ask yourself:- What is past me saying that's shaping how present me shows up?- What is future me afraid of, and how is that fear steering what I do today?- What does today actually need?🌙 JOIN US FOR EXPEDITION TO SOULInside the event, we spend a whole session on assembling your allies, plus a reclaim your energy meditation.Save your spot: https://signup.thesistersenchanted.com/ets2026_event✨ HOLISTIC WITCHERY STARTS OCTOBER 5If this video spoke to you, you're going to love Holistic Witchery.

    Ep 365: Would You Let Your Altar Collect Dust? (You Are the Altar)

    Would you let your altar sit under an inch of dust? 🕯️You wouldn't. You'd clean it, tend it, and replace what's finished its work. You'd think about which candle, which crystal, which this and that to include.So why don't we do that for ourselves?In this episode I'm asking you to look at your own body and energy as the altar. How you treat yourself is in direct correlation with what you think you're worthy of. That's a hill I will die on.This is Part 2 of a three-part series leading into Expedition to Soul, our September journey inward. Part 1 was about life as the practice. This one is about you as the center point of it. 🌙Find Part 1 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhpjS9w5SdwLearn more about Expedition to Soul: https://signup.thesistersenchanted.com/ets2026_eventThis video is releasing with the Virgo New Moon and Virgo is the sacred nurturer - the one who tends the fine details. Mercury moves into Libra, Venus slips into Scorpio, and Uranus stations retrograde in Gemini, which is basically a cosmic invitation to rethink how you think about yourself.No time like the present, y'all. I also get into the stories we build about ourselves. The "I'm not organized" story. The "I don't finish things" story. The "I'm the kind of person who…" story. And how every single one of them has another camera angle. Move the lens up, move it down, and suddenly the thing you swore was fixed has a different story to tell. Come home to the altar you already are.

    Ep 364: How to Make Your Life a Spiritual Practice (Not a To-Do List)

    Your life doesn't feel enchanted. It feels like bills, caregiving, expectations, and wondering when groceries became so expensive 🛒So what does it actually mean to make your life a spiritual practice?It means you stop treating the ordinary parts of your life as interruptions to your magic and start treating them as the practice itself. Meals, hard phone calls, quarterly taxes... You become the priestess of your own life instead of waiting for a full moon to feel like a witch.In this episode, I'm walking you through how to use the four elements as a daily check-in, why you are the center stone of your own crystal grid, and the one question that changes how you move through your day: am I making decisions from my to-do list, or from how I want to feel?This is part one of a three-part series leading into Expedition to Soul. 🍂🍁 EXPEDITION TO SOUL STARTS SEPTEMBER 21, learn more here: https://signup.thesistersenchanted.com/ets2026_event

    Ep. 363 She Met a Witch And Got Triggered...then this happened

    She started out Catholic and angry. Then she started dating a solitary Wiccan practitioner, felt triggered by every single word out of her mouth, and decided to educate herself instead of ending the relationship. That was 25 years ago.Lisa Hagen has been a witch ever since, and in this episode she tells the truth about what a long-term practice actually looks like. Spoiler: it's not nightly rituals and a perfectly curated altar. It's phases, pulling a card before bed, or a home office stuffed with candles, crystals, and tarot decks so there's always something to grab when a Zoom call goes sideways.Lisa found The Sisters Enchanted during the 2020 chaos, bought basically everything, finished almost nothing, and then last year something clicked. Menopause turned her body into a moving target, she went back to medical astrology to figure it out, and that became the thing she now teaches other women. She's a former app developer who used AI to build the astrology apps she once thought she'd have to hire out. She joined Sixth House Club, did the uncomfortable things she was told to do, and now she's booking psychic expos and partnering with a local witchy shop while still holding down a corporate job.We also get into identifying as a witch and being out of the broom closet with your sisters but careful at work. Having devout Christian friends who'll do a reading with you and devout Christian friends who won't, and keeping both. And why, when you're actually in your purpose, the selling part stops feeling like selling.What you'll learn:🌙 Why your practice becoming "normalized" is a sign of maturity, not slacking🌙 The three-fold rule Lisa treats as her whole ethical code🌙 How to set up your workspace so grounding tools are always in arm's reach🌙 What medical astrology is and how Lisa used it through menopause🌙 How she used AI to build the astrology apps she couldn't afford to hire out🌙 The mindset that got a self-described non-salesperson booking expos🌙 How to talk about your practice with religious family without starting a fight🌙 Why doing the uncomfortable thing you don't want to do is usually the thing that worksFind Lisa:Triple Moon Goddess (free apps, paid apps, and scheduling): https://triplemoongoddess.comMentioned in this episode:Sixth House Club: https://signup.thesistersenchanted.com/SIXTHHOUSEMEMBERSHIP_MAY7OFFERStay Magic, Enchanted Sister!
