It's time. It's time to break spells, in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ. (And she just lost half her listeners. Kidding. Mostly.) I have been putting this episode off for SO long, with so many fabulous, self-righteous excuses. But alas, I've been put in a corner, and it's time. Before we drop in, we tie up some loose ends. I share what really happened when Cowboy (yes, that's what we're calling him) caught me choosing the ramp over the stairs, the coffee date where I cried off all my mascara for hours, and why that morning felt like it shattered a curse someone once spoke over my life: "Who else is going to hold space for all your trauma?" Rebuke, rebuke. Then we go into the deep end. What black magic actually is (spoiler: it always starts with a clinging, a refusal to die, a refusal of God's will). Why "if it works, it's good" is a trap. Why not every impulse is holy, and why "follow your bliss" can lead straight to death. And why dark isn't always evil. Sometimes it's just the absence of light. We also pause for a little journaling inquiry together, talk about why super empaths are about to stop playing defense and go on the offense, and revisit Cinderella as a woman under a spell who almost believed that was all she'd ever be. You don't have to be afraid of the dark anymore, my love. You carry your own light now. If this is your first episode: welcome home. This is a very brave one to start with, so congratulations.
