I was looking back at some of the women I've had the honour of walking the Witch path with and just LOOK AT THEM 🥹💃🏼👑🔥🪄

T came to the path of the Wild Witch feeling lost and confused about her successful but unfulfilling career. She felt isolated after moving to a new area - and sensed she wanted more magic and to live from soul as a new Mama.

Through our work, she embodied her Wild Mama Africa Witch (Archetypal Lioness 🦁), conceived and had the wild free birth she'd been calling in, and then claimed her medicine to support other Mamas and create a home-ed community.

I've since watched that medicine continue to unfold long after our container ended - she's now travelling the world with her family, living her magic and creating a world-schooling hub. She's a woman refusing to choose anything but her magical vision. 🔥💃🏼✨

O came to the Witch path feeling lost and burned out in Mamahood. She sensed she had magic but didn't have clarity, and was anxious and exhausted from doing everything for everyone else.

She embodied her Mystical Wild Wolf Mama (Archetypal She-Wolf 🐺), learned to honour her No and meet her own needs, chose a home-ed path, discovered her mystical gifts as a Spirit Baby Reader, Birth and Wild Mama Soul Guide and created a business from them.

She knows her gifts. She speaks regularly on magical podcasts. She has a crystal-clear message. And she's learned to receive abundance - in all the ways.

J came to her Witch addicted to self-help, pushing and beating herself up - exhausted from trying to be “more.”

She embodied her Queen Witch of Love (Archetypal Gold 🌟) and rose into her feminine power to love herself rather than berate herself. She relaxed out of trying to fix everything and became more present - and that has rippled out into her family and life in magical ways, transforming relationships with her children and opening to romance.

And here's what I love about these women
They didn't need me to give them their magic, it was already within them all the time.

They didn't need another step-by-step formula for how to create their dream lives.

Instead, they followed the nudges of the Witch awakening within them - creating space to uncover the woman underneath all the conditioning. To see what was uniquely their magic. To trust it. To embody it. And to have the courage to create their magical lives - on their terms.

They are so f^*king BRAVE. And that's what makes this the work I am endlessly fascinated by.

My own gift is seeing the medicine in a woman that she can't quite see for herself yet. 👀

My gift is helping her give it language, meet her Witch for the first time, and walking with her, as she embodies and becomes the Wild Witchy woman she came here to be.

Then I receive the greatest gift of all - the privilege of watching what happens when she takes that medicine out into the world - claims it, and helps others to claim their own.

LOOK AT THEM. 🥹

I'll never not be completely enchanted by the fact I get to call this 'work'. 🪄

I love you, women. Thank you for sharing the wild ride with me ♥️

Happy listening, sensitive souls. ♥️

I have no words to describe how magical this weekend's celebrations were. What an absolutely EPIC Firelight Fest to celebrate Lily's 6th Birthday and our 2 year wedding anniversary and joint 40th! ✨

Thank you to everyone who made it so very special - there are too many special souls - friends and family - to tag, but we are so happy you were part of our celebrations. My heart is so full. ♥️

I definitely heard "Nicole, you're so extra - but I'm here for it!!" multiple times. Possibly the floral ice cubes, butleress and branded Firelight Fest cups did it 😂 If you know me, you'll know I go all in on Creatrixing an experience for people to fully feel the magic of life! 😀🦄💃🏼🔥🌿✨

We were surrounded by some of our most favourite people, on the edge of the forest, with a princess bouncy castle, live acoustic music and we were even visited by real life unicorns!

We love you all so much. Thank you for travelling from far and wide to be with us and make us feel celebrated. Thank you for loving my craziness! Lily had the time of her life. Peter, I love you - thank you for being an epic husband! Here's to more magic with you all in future... (I'm not sure how to top it next year, though 😂)

💃🏼♥️🪄

Kinda chic being a powerful, feminine Witch and owning it, in a world where that isn't acceptable. 🔥🧙🏼‍♀️✨

I haven't been telling you the whole truth... 🔥

I've been editing the full audacity of who I am. Which is wild when being authentic is my whole medicine.

I've realised there's been a blind spot where I've still been hiding. Like a Secret Witch.

Sure, I came out of the Witchy closet years ago. That's bold. That's leadership.

But there are still spaces where I've not been roaring my real voice. I've not been boldly claiming my gifts.

I've kept my absolute joy and abundance to myself in fear of being seen as 'too much' in a world of suffering. My 'extra' life - full of luxurious parties, butlers, real unicorns, magic, and impossible dreams - has been quietly hidden away, because we've been taught it's safer to dilute ourselves into something more palatable.

And I have a feeling I'm not alone.

How many of us have edited our joy because the world taught us it was more acceptable to be exhausted than ecstatic?

I've kept my fierce power hidden too. I've not shared my huge wins against oppressive systems over the last few years. I've fought schools, hospitals, government bodies and billion-pound companies for neurodivergent rights. I didn't ask for permission, I refused to back down. Even my local MP has stood beside me through those battles. 💃🏼

I've kept my wildness tamed in attempts to remain the image of perfection. Not admitting the shame of walking through some of the deepest initiations of my life.

This feels vulnerable to admit - largely because we project that leaders should be perfect. They should be the ones who "know", right?

(I don't think that's true, by the way. We are all human, leader or not.)

Basically, I'm meeting the edges of where I'm still playing it safe - to avoid abandonment, rejection, or being judged as "too much" - or not enough.

Writing my book has been leading me back home, as I rediscover and remember the aspects of the Witch - the Creatrix, the Medicine Woman, the Warrioress.

You see, the 'me' at home is a Wild Warrioress.

I am unapologetic.

My husband reflected this blind spot to me last night. He commented that I'd changed my voice to be softer on my podcast. I had no idea, I'll be honest.

Continued in comments...

Seriously, it's killing your wild. 🔥
