What do you wish I asked this guest? What was your "quotable moment" from this episode?

Have you ever wondered how to blend modern witchcraft with trauma-informed care? This episode of "Your Average Witch" features the incredible Megs Emerson, a Reiki master, yoga teacher, breathwork coach, and life coach. She shares her innovative approach to integrating yoga, breathwork, and energy work to help individuals heal from trauma and achieve alignment with their true aspirations. We'll also hear about Megs' perspective on imposter syndrome, the contemporary use of the term "witch," and her rich family history of energy workers and clairvoyants.

Navigating the complexities of personal practice and community service is no small feat, particularly when battling imposter syndrome. Megs lays out the duality of service and the necessity of vocalizing doubts to diminish their power. Our conversation explores how balancing personal practices with parenting and being of service to others creates a fulfilling cycle of energy exchange. We delve into the grounding effects of witchcraft tools like breathwork and crystals, and Megs shares a memorable story about a whitewater rafting trip on the Zambezi River that underscores the profound impact of seemingly simple choices.

To wrap things up, we discuss overcoming magical slumps, especially those influenced by menstrual or lunar cycles, through intentional nature engagement and digital detox. Megs advocates for compassionate dialogue within the witch community, emphasizing the importance of trauma-informed care in a post-pandemic world. She highlights influential figures like Starhawk and Pixie Lighthorse and offers practical advice for new practitioners. Tune in to deepen your connection to witchcraft and healing practices with this rich tapestry of wisdom and practical advice.
