Episode 74: Women's Retreat Magic

I chatted with Megan now known as The Hype Witch to talk about one of the most transformative weekends of her life.

Four years ago, Megan was hustling in one of the hottest real estate markets ever, making consistent money for the first time in her life. She was fully committed to her career, her clients, her five-and-a-half-year relationship. She was busy, successful, and completely isolated, her entire life orbiting one relationship, with a handful of friends and not much else. Then she saw our retreat on Instagram and felt a strange pull.

We discussed the power of being held by the women of that retreat during vulnerability, the difference between intellectual healing (journaling, reading books) and embodied healing (having someone witness your shadow and love you anyway), and what it means to answer the universe's call even when you're terrified.

The safety zone is becoming increasingly uncomfortable by design because we're all supposed to leap into the abyss. How the universe keeps knocking, and if you don't answer, the knock gets louder. How saying yes to the medicine, yes to the retreat, yes to the vulnerability changed everything.

This is the story of a heroine's journey. Heartbreak as the doorway. Medicine as the mirror. Community as the catalyst. And a woman who said yes to the abyss and found everything on the other side.
