Ever cried on the kitchen floor? Same.


Hi Reader,

There was a night, many years ago, when I was sitting on my kitchen floor, wailing, as one does when one’s life has just imploded. My boyfriend had dumped me, my physical health was absolute crap, and I had no clue what I wanted anymore.

I had two choices:
Keep numbing, blaming, spiraling.
Or remember what my grandmother taught me: magic is what you reach for when nothing else works.

And here’s what happened: I didn’t get an overnight miracle. But slowly, I learned how to stay calm when my whole body wanted to panic. I learned how to notice the quiet guidance of Spirit instead of the screaming chaos in my head. I learned how to choose, not from fear, but from power.

That’s what rebuilt my life. That’s what made me unstoppable in rooms where people wanted me small. That’s what eventually became Liberation Magic.

I didn’t build this program to impress anyone. I built it because I know what it feels like to be cracked open, and I know how to walk through that fire and come out freer.

If you’re in one of those “something’s gotta change” seasons… I want you to know there’s a path forward. And you don’t have to walk it alone.


We start September 22.

Courage, truth, and infinite love,

I don’t believe in magic, but I know that it works!

Magic is not a belief system, it’s a practice that works. Don’t believe me? Come try it out. If it doesn’t work, you lose nothing. But if it does… your dream life is about to begin!

This Halloween, like many Halloweens, I didn’t celebrate in the way most people do, with costumes, candy, or parties. Last year, I was home with a few witches, deep in ritual, when a little kid knocked on the door yelling, “Trick or treat!” We froze. I looked around at my sisters and said, “It’s gonna have to be trick… because I’m a really bad witch and I have nothing prepared.” We laughed, but the truth is, Halloween for me tends to be a working day. A time when the veil thins and spirits...

When I teach my students how to cast spells, I always begin with one simple question: What do you want? What do you actually want to see happen in your life?What would make you feel happy, fulfilled, like, yes, this is it? That’s where the spell begins. But here’s what usually happens: as soon as they start naming their desire, the mind jumps in with a loud “But how?” How could that possibly happen? How would I afford it? How would it ever come together? And I’m like — well, yeah.If you could...

I got an email the other day from a student wondering if Liberation Magic could help with limiting beliefs. In general, people think of limiting beliefs as things we hold to be true (and may or may not be), but that get in our way of moving towards our dreams. And while that’s true, these beliefs are not a bad thing. A limiting belief almost always starts out as a survival spell.It was a small act of magic you cast long ago to stay safe.To protect your heart.To make sense of a world that...
