What if you need to shift to calm in a stressful situation? (A Witch’s Perspective)
“When are you calm during the day?” a friend, Alicia, asked me. “Usually when I first wake up in the morning. Before the weight of the day crashes down on my shoulders,” I replied. Alicia wasn’t expecting that answer. Meanwhile… Lidia, someone I know, works in retail. She’s noticing that more and more customers in recent weeks have been saying rude, impatient things.

Milestones or Moments? – Ask Goddess (A Witch’s Perspective)
I was concerned. I had just a week to create my 400th Podcast episode. This was so important to me… and to the listeners who have downloaded my podcast episodes over 45,000 times. Do you feel squeezed by other people’s expectations? Are you harsh with yourself about expectations? I was wracked with questions: Is my 400th Podcast Episode going to be good enough? (Eventually my team came up with this title of Meditation for Strength and Release from Anger and Frustration) Will it […]https://goddesshasyourback.com/2026/07/14/milestones-or-moments-ask-goddess-a-witchs-perspective/

Wash Away the Pain (A Witch’s Perspective)
Ever move too fast at work and bump your hand … perhaps, you SMACK your hand on the corner of a desktop computer? Owww! One of my spiritual elders developed her own ritual.

Free Yourself with “Witchy Essence” Flexibility
“I want to quit that damn job!” my friend, Alexandra, said. We talked for a while. “Two people are so judgmental. There’s no space for me to do a good job.

Discover Your Inner Power as a “Relaxed Witch”
“I don’t know the last time I felt relaxed,” Charice, a person in my circle, said.“I could tell you about all the times I feel anxious,” she continued.
