Damsel Detox: Awakening the Hero Within

Once upon a time, you were handed a story. A story that told you to wait, to shrink, to hope someone else would save you. But the stories you were given were never the whole truth. There’s a wild, waiting hero inside you — and it’s time to wake them up. Damsel Detox is a podcast for seekers, story-lovers, and soul-listeners ready to reclaim their narrative. Hosted by Spring Sage (hypnotherapist and subconscious guide) and Elissa Schwarz (shamanic practitioner), each month we explore a new story through these lenses: ✨ Subconscious patterning ✨ Archetypal and mythic meaning ✨ Shamanic wisdom These aren’t just fairytales. They’re maps — back to the parts of you that were never broken, only buried. This isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about remembering who you’ve always been — and awakening the part of you that never needed saving. Welcome to Damsel Detox: Awakening the Hero Within. The story you were born for is about to unfold. Spring Sage is a certified hypnotherapist and coach. Elissa Schwarz is a shamanic practitioner and coach. The tools shared are designed for personal insight and self-discovery — not medical or psychological treatment.

Snow White & Mirrors

Episode Title: Snow White & Mirrors

In this kickoff to the Damsel Detox podcast, Spring and Elissa dive into the mirror — both magical and metaphorical — through the lens of the Brothers Grimm's Snow White. With playful banter and soulful insight, they unpack how our reflection in the mirror is filtered through subconscious programming, inherited beliefs, and societal expectations. From pageants to shadow work to vulture wisdom, this episode explores how to reclaim the truth beyond the mirror.
