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.
