Push Comes to Shove: Gretel’s Moment of Power

⚠️Disclaimer & Content Warning:

This episode is intended for educational and empowerment purposes only and does not substitute for therapy or medical care. The views expressed are those of the hosts, shared through the lens of archetype, story, and lived experience.

This episode explores themes of abandonment, childhood trauma, starvation, survival, and psychological patterning.

We encourage you to listen in a grounded, supportive space and pause anytime you need.

🔍 Episode Synopsis:

Once upon a time, survival meant staying small, quiet, and obedient. But not for Gretel. Not anymore.

In this chapter of our Hansel & Gretel arc, Spring and Elissa return to the oven — not as a place of fear, but as a sacred symbol of transformation, choice, and feminine fire. What does it really mean to “push the witch into the oven”? What shadows are burned away — and what strength is born from the flames?

Together, we unravel:

• The misunderstood power of feminine energy (hint: it’s not weakness)
• How imbalance in the masculine energy can lead to control, burnout, or avoidance
• Why Gretel’s transformation is a metaphor for reclaiming your inner agency
• The symbolic meaning of the oven, the duck, and crossing emotional rivers
• Plus: story-coded reflections on people-pleasing, community breakdowns, and how reclaiming your voice can feel like a rebirth

They also pull back the curtain on their two very different healing modalities — hypnotherapy and subconscious reprogramming versus shamanic energy work— and how these tools are used in 1:1 coaching, Storybook Regression, Shamanic Healing and inside the Damsel Detox Inner Kingdom and Vault Membership Whether you’re craving a solo journey or a community quest, this episode shows how each path can lead to your own sacred sovereignty.

✨ The next episode? We coach Gretel — live.
