Can a therapist be a witch? And what happens when she stops hiding it? In this episode, I sit down withArianne Noble, a transpersonal therapist, witch, and shamanic practitioner, to talk about sovereignty, inner authority, and the courage it takes to be seen as your true self. We discuss what it's like to come out of the broom closet in layers, why the words we use for our spiritual path matter, andhow animism reminds us that everything is alive and in relationship. We also get honest about burnout,ADHD, and perimenopause, and why rest is resistance, not a reward you earn after running yourself into theground. If you’re a therapist walking this path, start by getting honest about what you believe and what you share with clients. Find your people, protect your energy, and let the authentic parts of yourself into your practice a little at a time. You can come out in layers, at your own pace.
