This episode contains symbolic and personal discussion of the Mother Wound, including emotional abandonment, grief, generational trauma, estrangement, childhood loss, birth trauma, and survival patterns.

🔍 Episode Synopsis:

What if the oven wasn’t just a trap—but a metaphor for the womb?

In this deep-dive episode of Damsel Detox: Awakening the Hero, hosts Spring Sage and Elissa Schwarz welcome guest Cosmic Kat, a UK-based coach and professional witch who specializes in healing the mother wound—especially in neurodivergent women.

Together, they explore the archetypes woven into Hansel & Gretel, decode survival patterns shaped by abandonment, enmeshment, and ancestral echoes, and examine how the “candy houses” in our lives can reflect unhealed wounds. Through story, laughter, and symbolic insight, they discuss how the witch, the womb, and even the oven hold keys to deep feminine empowerment and emotional reclamation.

Whether your wound is absence, loss, codependency, or emotional disconnect, this episode invites you to be the hero of your own story—one breadcrumb at a time.
