Why are we so stressed & overwhelmed? Why do we have clear & compelling goals but fail to reach them? How can we want to change so desperately yet make choices that keep us from that change?

I use this mindset shift personally and with my clients. Let me show you. Make Magic: To embrace the power of your agency and choice, reflect on areas in your life where you feel done tolerating certain behaviors or situations. Replace "I can't" with "I am unwilling to" and notice the shift in your mindset and power.…
This episode is about the liminal space we find ourselves in when we’re in the process of becoming . I talk about the temptation to maintain the status quo, the importance of trusting in our desires, and the power of leaning wholly into our ever-changing selves. I hope this episode gives you comfort, reassurance, or reminds you that you can trust that the key to clicking back into place is to just keep becoming who we are. Mentioned: The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9717.The_Unbearable_Lightness_of_Being Witchy Business is my monthly group coaching experience to help entrepreneurs cultivate the courage and openness necessary for integrity in this personal growth crucible called entrepreneurship.

Sometimes, our internal growth outpaces our external circumstances. This is especially felt when the changes we want to make in our lives feel so so big. I’ve been there! I want to remind us that we have more power than we realize. No matter how big our life changes are. No matter how far away our dreams might seem. We can nurture the desires emerging from our personal growth spurt.

Ever felt like you're going through a growth spurt, but for your soul? You might feel tired all the time, hungry for more in life, and even a bit awkward. Whether initiated by ourselves or by the events in our lives, our personal growth spurt challenges us to shed old identities and embrace new possibilities. It urges us to invest in what truly aligns with our evolving selves. We can see ourselves through these changes with extra care, understanding, and nourishment. Mentioned: The scene from Dirty Dancing https://youtu.be/GIphXCg3CyE?si=9CJ1t2oGSQ30Q1Cw Make Magic: Embrace your personal growth spurt with compassion and curiosity. Recognize the signs, prioritize self-care, and invest in what resonates with your evolving self to navigate this transformative period with grace, love, and intention.…
The most empowered doings come from the place where we feel most integrated. And while society prioritizes productivity and doings above all else, I believe our sense of being is just as important. When we take time to honor our needs, we attune to our most aligned selves for our most potent doings. Mentioned: Time Witchery is a great way to integrate a whole self honoring practice into your day. This anti-planner comes with an audio course and invitations to group gatherings. Our next gathering is the upcoming Spring Equinox on March 19, 2024.

Cultural norms encourage us to diminish our light, to hide it, and filter it into its most benign form. But like a diamond, we are sparkly and multi-faceted contributing to our luminosity. We shine most brightly when we own and love and show all of the different parts of ourselves. This spell will help you nurture and embrace all facets of yourself for deeper levels of fulfillment and authenticity.

Contrary to popular belief, being in the process of figuring things out yourself can make you an even more effective teacher or coach. Many assume that teaching implies mastery, but often it's those still navigating challenges who offer the most valuable insights. And by embracing your ongoing journey of growth, you gain a deeper understanding, connect more authentically with others, and continuously innovate. Mentioned: Emily Nagoski, Ph.D., author of Come As You Are: The Surprising New Science That Will Transform Your Sex Life https://www.emilynagoski.com/ Make Magic: Embrace your journey of growth and share it authentically with others.

As growth-oriented individuals, you're here to heal, usher in better, and, just like plants need fertilizer and light, you need more support, time, space, rest, connection, and pleasure. Embrace the idea that growth demands receiving more than giving, fostering a net gain in energy. It's time to let yourself need more. Mentioned: Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle, by Amelia and Emily Nagoski https://www.burnoutbook.net/ Bestselling author and podcaster Gretchen Rubin: https://gretchenrubin.com/ Make Magic: Allow yourself to need more. Take a moment to reflect on what you're craving—whether it's rest, connection, or support—and actively open up to receiving it.…
As we usher in this new year, I want to explore trust. It's a silent power—like the glowing embers of a fire. And it's cultivated through action and experience. Each experience, whether successful or challenging, contributes to the embers of trust.

Mentioned: Episode 139: A Spell for Making a Big Change https://www.nataliekmiller.com/mindwitchery/139 Make Magic: Believing in our ability to grow through experiences, trusting in resilience, and embracing change incrementally are the sparks that feed our trust embers.…
Real talk. Letting things be easy is actually incredibly hard. Patriarchy, hustle culture, late stage capitalism. All of these dominating systems benefit when we act as though hard work and sacrifice are the only ways we can prosper in the world. Here’s a spell to help you build more ease into your life, and to remind you how much you deserve it. Mentioned: timewitchery.com/planner , where you can get a Time Witchery anti-planner to help you be intentional about cultivating ease.

Brains are amazing things, and one of their most fascinating features is the way their two halves process and evaluate the things we experience. Left brain plans and analyzes, it develops systems and structures, while right brain attunes to its surroundings and experiences the here and now without trying to impose order on it. They’re both vital to our experience of the world. And yet. One of these approaches is very much favored and encouraged by our dominating culture.

She had the passion and persistence to develop a stunning oracle deck that honors African Goddesses with photography of amazing black women. She’s here to talk about why she felt required to birth this project into the world, and how she sustained the belief in herself that was necessary to make it a reality. Mentioned: Dr. Giavanni Washington is the creator of the Black Goddess Within Oracle Deck , which is available to pre-order at https://www.drgiavanniwashington.com/deck. She is also an intuitive healer, mother, speaker, and spiritual guide.

Creating a new thing can be pretty messy. Learning how to do something requires us to start by screwing up, making mistakes, and being kind of bad at it. If you’ve developed an attachment to succeeding, planning to be less than great at anything can sound like a nightmare. Here’s a spell to help you embrace the glorious imperfection of making something new. Mentioned: timewitchery.com/planner , where you can get a Time Witchery anti-planner to help you keep track of your experiments. Make Magic: To keep your perfectionism from overwhelming your creative impulse, don’t think about it as doing a thing (which means doing it superbly). Instead, try imagining yourself as a scientist, and whatever endeavor you’re embarking on as a creative laboratory, where success is all about gathering information and learning by doing.…
It has been a minute since I recorded a new spell, but the break did exactly what I hoped it would. It allowed my creative brain to rest and recharge, and now it’s ready to share with you once more.

My love, I have for you today the most inspiring, powerful conjuring. Bernardine Watson is a poet, writer, and author of an award-winning memoir. She is a force of nature. She is glamorous. She is grounded. I just pinch myself to tell you that Dine is also a friend of mine. I asked Dine if she'd be willing to talk about what I think she does so well, which is conjuring the fullest self-expression. I hope you find this conversation as inspiring and motivating as I did. Mentioned: Bernardine (Dine) Watson is a nonfiction writer and poet who lives in Washington. Her memoir Transplant won the 2023 Washington Writers’ Publishing House prize for nonfiction. Dine was selected by Poets and Writers as one of their “5 over 50” for 2023 and will be featured in the magazine’s November/December issue. My Build Your Trust (in) Funds group coaching starts TONIGHT! https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0qdOCopjkiGdEgQpyeLRQwvQwunriaDCHc Make Magic: If you are not your whole full self, the world will not know you, and you will not know yourself. It’s time to start treating yourself like the main character in your own story. Like you are the most important person in the world.…
I chose to rekindle this spell because it felt appropriate for the uncomfortable, uncertain times we find ourselves in. Clear, deep, whole self-honoring boundaries are challenging to build and to hold. I hope this spell helps you to create and fortify some boundaries, and to protect your peace and integrity. Mentioned: The very insightful book Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle , by Emily Nagoski, PhD and Amelia Nagoski, DMA Make Magic: Self-honoring boundaries have clearly defined terms and consequences, and they’re enforced when the boundary is crossed. When you draw and hold these boundaries for yourself, you’re setting an example for all of us who aren’t sure we deserve to have our integrity respected.…
This week I’m resharing an episode that I truly believe will help you make the most of your one wild and precious life. Paying attention to the values underneath our choices (our own values, the values of our dominating culture, and all the ways in which those values conflict) is so valuable when we’re trying to understand why we make decisions that don’t feel right. Mentioned: Mind Witchery Ep. 135 - Conjuring Integrity feat. Emma Gannon timewitchery.com/planner , where you can get a Time Witchery anti-planner to help you focus on the moments that wake you up. The fantastic, insightful book Values in Therapy , by Jenna LeJeune and Jason B. Luoma . Make Magic: If you feel that you’re falling short of a standard, or that you’re doing shit you do not want to do in order to meet a standard, the problem is not you. The problem is a mismatch between the values you cherish and the values you’ve been conditioned to prioritize. Look at your life, and ask yourself: “What values am I living as I move through the world, and are they truly my own?”…
When I read The Success Myth by bestselling author Emma Gannon, I knew she really got what integrity was all about. It sounds wonderful. But, like most things that serve our whole selves, it’s Really. Fucking. Hard. It’s a lifelong practice that’s constantly evolving, with tons of ups and down, victories and setbacks. Emma Gannon joins us to talk about her relationship with integrity, and how putting her values first has changed her life. Mentioned: Emma Gannon is a Sunday Times bestselling non-fiction author and award-winning novelist. Her most recent book, The Success Myth , was chosen as a “best book of the month” by Apple. She runs the popular newsletter The Hyphen on Substack at http://thehyphen.substack.com , and she’s on Instagram @emmagannonuk . No Bad Parts: Healing Trauma and Restoring Wholeness with the Internal Family Systems Model , by Dr. Richard Schwartz Make Magic: Living in integrity isn’t a straight line. It’s a living process. It expands and contracts, ebbs and flows, grows and sheds. It requires us to embrace all the parts of ourselves, and listen closely to the messages they're sending us.…

While I nurture and care for my creative spark, I’m resharing episodes that just might be right on time for you.

How can she (and we) we honor our very high standards in a way that doesn’t become self-punishing? Mentioned: If you haven’t already, click on over to nataliekmiller.com and sign up for my Sunday Letter! It’s full of magic just for you. While you’re there, visit nataliekmiller.com/contact and let me know what spells would add sparkle to your life.

Press play to learn all about Treats: what they are, when to use them, and how they will completely charm your life.

Make Magic: Create a Treats Menu - a whole bunch of ways large and small you can love on yourself. Notice how your days go when you practice Treats as fuel. What happens to your mood?

This week I’m following my own advice about creativity, and giving myself space to rest and recharge. I’m resharing an episode of Mind Witchery about setting goals. You’ve probably been told there’s one best way to set attainable goals. It’s built on a rigid, quantitative paradigm that works for some people. I am absolutely not one of them, and I bet you aren’t, either. Here’s a goal-setting system for the rest of us, who aren’t motivated by numbers, but are inspired by meaning, values, and the difference our goals make in the world.

Make Magic: Jennifer’s Familiarity, Joy, and Integrity cycle re-envisions Like, Know, Trust as a process of sharing your authentic self and the values you cherish. It means being open and honest rather than performative, and sharing things that speak to and about you, rather than trying to chase trends.…
This week I’m following my own advice about creativity, and giving myself space to rest and recharge. I’m resharing an episode of Mind Witchery about discipline. Do you wish you had more of it? It is possible to become more efficient, focused, and potent in your work. Here’s a magical reframe that can help you get there. Mentioned: Gretchen Rubin’s Four Tendencies Make Magic: Rather than fitting yourself into someone else’s productivity box, create a habitat that supports you in your work preferences. Consider your relationship to Time and Rhythm: WHEN do you work best? What’s a good rhythm for you? Which hours and days are best suited to which activities? Think about Place. What kinds of environments encourage focus for you? What motivates you? Plans? Impulse? Deadlines? Inspiration? Learning what sparks your Get It Done energy changes everything.

This week I’m following my own advice about creativity, and giving myself space to rest and recharge. I’m resharing an episode of Mind Witchery about the ways our overnight-success-obsessed culture keeps us from seeing the truth of - and finding comfort in - the cycles of creation. I love a good metaphor, so this episode uses an agricultural analogy to rethink progress as cyclical rather than linear, slow and co-creative rather than fast, and dominating, and sustainable rather than explosive. Make Magic: Use this metaphor to get new perspective on where you find yourself right now, re: progress. If your endeavor were a field, which stage is it in? For what developments do you need to give yourself credit? Transcript: Rekindling: Real-izing Progress…
We are all talking ourselves into and out of things All. The. Time. From buying that fancy coffee to taking early retirement, we’re in constant deliberation with ourselves about which actions match our values and which ones don’t. I think it’s super important to have those internal debates from a conscious, informed, self-aware place. Here’s a spell to help with that. Make Magic: Once you accept that we all exist at choice, you can start paying more attention to these self-negotiations, and taking a more proactive role in them, Thinking about what values are supported by every yes or no, and where those values come from, will help you to make more self-aware, self-honoring decisions. Transcript: A Spell for Conscious Self-Persuasion (coming soon)…
When I say “encourage,” I’m really thinking about the “courage” part. Real, vital creativity, that comes from the heart, requires us to be brave. This spell will help you identify and open up the unique channel to the universe that ONLY you have, and ONLY you can nurture for the good of us all. Mentioned: Martha Graham on creativity and the life of an artist: https://www.themarginalian.org/2015/10/02/martha-graham-creativity-divine-dissatisfaction/ timewitchery.com/planner , where you can get a Time Witchery anti-planner to help you access your creative channel Make Magic: With a little help from Martha Graham, we’re going to remember that each of us has a unique channel to a magical creative force, and when we strengthen and nurture it, we’re not just doing it for ourselves, we’re doing it for everyone.

나중에 재생 나중에 재생 리스트 좋아요 좋아요Writing, coaching, teaching, working with your brain more than your hands. My amazing guest, Sarah M. Chappell, calls this “knowledge work.” We’ve learned through experience that there is no Right Way to be that kind of businessperson. To thrive as a knowledge worker, you need to work in a way that centers your whole self. Sarah and I will help you figure out what questions you can ask to start making that happen. Mentioned: Sarah M. Chappell is a writer, strategist, and coach helping to build the future of knowledge work. Her online memberships, cohort-based courses, and group coaching programs have supported over 1,000 small businesses and solopreneurs. The Think Piece podcast and blog are both available at thinkpiece.fyi . I recommend starting with the excellent episode “ Burn It Down .” Make Magic: Being Self Centered is about knowing what you want to do - and be - in your life. Your ambitions, what you want to accomplish, are only small parts of that. What are your desires? What fuels your energy and passion? How do you want to spend your days? YYfBUFdT6ONB7KHUwPd5…
What question comes to mind when you’re thinking about trying something new? If it’s “will this work?” this spell is for you. Together, we’re going to unpack why our concept of what “works” is so limited, and how opening up to new possibilities can start with redefining a single word. Make Magic: If you give yourself space to understand WHY you want to do something new, it can transform your concept of what it means for it to work. If your whys are in integrity with your values and your desires, even learning what not to do is a valuable lesson that will serve you when you’re ready to try again.…

“Ambition” is a term laden with all kinds of assumptions from patriarchal, white-dominant, ableist culture. But I have good news. Ambition doesn’t have to be synonymous with the urge to acquire money, fame, or power. We can each define it for ourselves in a way that reflects the impact we want to have on the world. Here to help me figure out how is novelist, essayist, writing teacher, and ambition-redefining badass Esmé Weijun Wang. Mentioned: Esmé Weijun Wang is the award-winning and New York Times bestselling author of The Collected Schizophrenias and The Border of Paradis e. Her website is EsmeWang.com , and you can follow her on Instagram @ esmewwang . The Unexpected Shape Writing Academy is at UnexpectedShapeAcademy.com . At timewitchery.com/planner you can get a Time Witchery anti-planner to help you develop your own definition of ambition. Make Magic: When you’re thinking about ambition, don’t think about the pressures that come from family, peers, or society about what You’re Supposed to Do. Focus instead on the excitement of doing and making things that delight you.…

For this new moon, I’m serving up a witchy brew of insight from the astrology of the moment, mixed with a generous helping of wisdom from my life as a plant mama. So many of the ways plants can struggle are mirrored in our own lives. But with enough gentleness and care they thrive, and so can we. Mentioned: Mind Witchery episode 106: Aries New Moon / Libra Full Moon Feat. Alejo López Make Magic: The keys to accessing these planty vibes are self-knowledge AND self-kindness. Give yourself grace when thinking about the places you’re not showing up in full, and ask what change to the situation could allow you to flourish in the way that you want to? Transcript: New Moon in Cancer: Ebb, Flow, Change, Grow…
There is a world of difference between sharing a perspective and counseling someone about what they should do. Good coaching should always start from the premise that you are the expert on you and you and your situation, and focus on helping you uncover what works best for you. Whether you’re receiving or giving support, this spell will help you identify the approach that will open up a curious, expansive, and empowering dialogue. Make Magic: An outside perspective can be valuable, but only if it is co-creative with your understanding and truth. If someone is telling you what to do instead of asking thoughtful questions, they’re not respecting you and your experience. Transcript: A Spell for Eschewing Advice…

나중에 재생 나중에 재생 리스트 좋아요 좋아요When you’re charting your own path as an entrepreneur, training and certifications can be a good investment. But that’s not true for everyone.

Allyson is a Master Intuitive Coach and Energy Clearing Guru who helps soul-guided leaders and entrepreneurs to earn more, serve more, and grow spiritually along the way.

Do you want to do it for you, or because you feel like you have to? How does your body feel when you imagine doing it? And who's involved? Does that feel like a circle you want to be in? Transcript: Conjuring Clarity Re: Continuing Ed Feat. Allyson Scammell…
Real talk: guilt isn’t always bad. When it’s reminding us to treat people better than we have in the past, guilt can be a helpful guide. But the dominant culture knows we want to be better, and encourages us to overextend ourselves by taking too much responsibility for other people’s feelings. This spell will help you start to let go of the impulse to feel guilt when you make decisions that honor your values. Make Magic: When we think about the example we're setting, it's easier to align with our values. It's easier to think about who we want to be in the world, rather than who we've been conditioned to be in the world, and to stop feeling bad about making self-honoring choices. Transcript: A Spell for Releasing Excessive Guilt…
As you know, I believe we always exist at choice. But this lunation offers an extra special invitation to ask. With whom do you want to associate, co-create, collaborate? What are the vibes you want to nurture? And what are the vibes you would just rather not? What brings you to life? And what are you done with? Mentioned: My website, nataliekmiller.com , where you can sign up for my Sunday Letter email list. Make Magic: A good place to start examining where you’re vibing and where you’re not is with your calendar. Look at what’s scheduled for the next few weeks, and give yourself permission to feel, honestly. Are the people, events, or organizations you’ve committed to really where you want to be spending your precious time and energy? Transcript: New Moon in Gemini…
Let’s be real, I could have called this episode A Spell for Getting Your SELVES Together. Because we all contain multitudes, and all those parts of us have their own perspectives and priorities. No decision, no approach, no tactic, is going to be effective unless we learn to love and appreciate what all those parts are trying to say. Mentioned: No Bad Parts: Healing Trauma and Restoring Wholeness with the Internal Family Systems Model , by Dr. Richard Schwartz Make Magic: This spell isn’t for self-domination. It’s for selves understanding. For choosing objectives and methods that are whole self honoring. Transcript: A Spell for Getting Yourself Together…
Your inner critic has been trained by society to blame every problem on some failing of the individual. The explanations it can imagine are All Your Fault. This spell will help you turn the critic’s question on its head, and think about what you need rather than what you’re doing wrong. Make Magic: Your inner critic takes such a narrow view of every situation. It cuts right down to “what’s wrong with me?” When that voice is yelling for the mic, it’s time to open up the inquiry. Look at all the things that might be wrong, and what resources could help you show up the way you want to. Transcript: A Spell for Neutralizing The Inner Critic…
I’m having a practice-what-I-preach moment, giving myself permission to rest when I need it, like we all, inevitably, do. So I’m resharing one of the first-ever spells from the early days of Mind Witchery, which has been so helpful for me, and feels particularly resonant in this moment. Mentioned: Kristin Neff’s self-compassion work. Check out her incredibly resourceful website , which has all kinds of information and even a quiz where you can evaluate your level of self-compassion. Make Magic: Do something nice for yourself! If you wanted to treat a friend, what would you do? Write her a sweet card? Send him flowers? Encourage them to take the afternoon off and get a facial? Do that for YOU. Transcript: Again, A Spell for Self-Kindness…

And what, if anything, is inhibiting that openness? Transcript: Taurus New Moon / Sagittarius Full Moon feat. Leslie Tagorda…
What does success mean to you? Like, you personally? The dominant culture sure knows what IT wants you to strive for. Money, titles, bigger houses, and more stuff to put in them. But, if you’re here, you’ve started to realize your search for those things supports the system way more than it serves you or the communities you want to lift up. Mentioned: timewitchery.com/planner , where you can get a Time Witchery anti-planner to help you revolutionize your definition of success. Make Magic: Give yourself time to explore the feelings that come up when you ask yourself how success should feel. Let your imaginative right brain fully inhabit those desired feelings, and just see what images and sensations come up for you. Transcript: A Spell for Revolutionary Success…
Last week, I talked about Evolutionary Discomfort. Choosing the discomfort of change and growth over the discomfort of settling. So often, this requires us to leave behind jobs, relationships, and associations that don’t support our values. This spell will help you decide if it’s time to go in a self-honoring, self-loving way. Mentioned: Mind Witchery 112: A Spell for Evolutionary Discomfort Stephen Karpman’s Drama Triangle The Empowerment Dynamic Make Magic: When you speak the words “I’m unwilling,” how does that feel in your body? If the line you’re drawing feels right in your breath, in your posture, that’s a good way to know that you’re making the decision to leave in integrity with your self and your values. Transcript: A Spell for Leaving With Integrity…
Okay, love. Today's incantation might make you more uncomfortable than usual. It will challenge you to be real about your discomfort, and how you choose to experience it. I'm sorry, but I'm not sorry. I believe this world needs you at your most fully expressed, at your most free to grow. I hope today's spell helps you to honor that version of you. Make Magic: Evolutionary discomfort is choosing the discomfort of expressing yourself, rather than impressing that discomfort by pretending to be someone you’re not. I can be dangerous. It requires you to be courageous. But the alternative, holding that hurt and frustration inside? That’s incredibly destructive. Transcript: A Spell for Evolutionary Discomfort…
Do we want to be people who take responsibility? Of course! And/but, dysfunctional, oppressive systems RELY ON US to feel personally responsibility for fixing systemic bullshit. It is WAY past time for us to stop beating ourselves up for our inability to solve problems that are sooo much bigger than us as individuals. Mentioned: Brigid Schulte’s book Overwhelmed: Work, Love, And Play When No One Has The Time Money mindset mentor and author Denise Duffield-Thomas . Roxane Gay’s book of essays, Bad Feminist . The Health at Every Size® Principles An article about Tuca and Bertie Season 3 Episode 2, “The Pain Garden.” Make Magic: Oppressive systems pretend to love disruptive, creative expression. But what they really prefer is that you keep your head down and work to maintain the status quo. The next time you’re wondering why you can’t figure things out, think about the systems around you, and how WE, collectively, can work on making them better.

Expectations are a weight that is ultimately limiting. The pressure to achieve a specific result breeds anxiety, and generally just fucks us over creatively. This spell will help you free your creative impulses by letting go of narrowly defined outcomes. Mentioned: Carol Dweck’s very insightful book Mindset: The New Psychology of Success . Join Crucible, a supportive container to help you turn your idea into action! https://timewitchery.com/crucible Make Magic: Specific expectations fuck us over because we’re too smart for them. On some level, we understand that reality is fundamentally co-creative, and we can’t possibly know what's going to happen. So what happens if you decide to embrace that uncertainty, instead of getting all bound up in trying to defy it? Transcript: A Spell for Freedom From Expectation…

It’s not about whether you’re worthy, or whether you get something out of it. It’s about being part of a co-creative, collaborative collective, that is SO MUCH bigger and more powerful than any one of us. Transcript: Spells for Creative Courage…
Why “already?” Because there’s something you've been wanting to do, that you've been intrigued by, that sounds like it could be great for you, that would be taking you in a new direction, and you keep talking yourself out of it . This spell will help you summon the courage to do something with that impulse rather than denying it or stuffing it away. Mentioned: Join Crucible, and let’s turn your idea into action together! https://timewitchery.com/crucible Make Magic: When this intriguing impulse comes back around, don’t squash it down, push it aside, or let it dissipate. Think about why you feel like you can’t do it. And let that can’t guide you to the reasons why you must. Transcript: A Spell for Taking Action Already…

Life is full of twists and turns and co-creative mystery. There is no foolproof plan or ironclad strategy that can change that.

Mentioned: Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Elizabeth Strout https://www.elizabethstrout.com/ timewitchery.com/planner , where you can get support for trusting the process with a Time Witchery planner of your own. Make Magic: To trust the process requires us to be fully in the process. That means focusing on the present, and what we’re making happen right now.

I talk about two concepts that really help me to divest from the cultural imperative of productivity above all else, to invest in a more sustainable, self-honoring way of being, which happens to be productive in the most delightful, aligned, integrated, sustainable way. Mentioned: timewitchery.com/planner , where you can set some vivacious cycles in motion with your very own Time Witchery planner. Make Magic: Instead of asking what you want to DO in the New Year, what if you ask yourself, "Who do I want to BE?” “How do I want to feel?” In this container of a new year, in this venue for growth and experience, “How do I want to show up?" Transcript: Vivacious Cycles…
The final ingredient of our potency potion is Growth Mindset. Growth Mindset helped me make my year so epic by allowing me to access creativity and curiosity. By helping me to play and experiment.

Astrologer and author Claire Gallagher is our first lunar luminary, and I cannot wait for you to immerse yourself in her wisdom! Mentioned: Astrologer, author, and fabulous human Claire Gallagher’s website is clairegallagher.co . timewitchery.com/planner , where you can reflect on and set intentions for every lunation with your very own Time Witchery planner. Make Magic: This cycle falls during the New Year push, where you are told by our culture that you should be different than you are. The Moon is asking you to reflect on conserving your energy, and making sure any change, any achievement, any striving you do is sustainable, and a careful use of your precious, precious time and energy. Transcript: Capricorn New Moon / Cancer Full Moon feat. Claire Gallagher…
The next ingredient of our potency potion is values-based prioritizing. Investing more awareness, intention, and energy into making sure that your process is guided by your values. I truly believe this will help you to actually do what you want to do in the way that feels best.

Our lives are made from stories. Stories help us learn and grow, by turning our experiences into wisdom. But, if they’re not allowed to change, stories can restrict us, and keep us stuck in old patterns and mindsets. Let’s learn how to honor those stories, while setting ourselves free to write new chapters. Make Magic: What stories are you telling about yourself that feature a main character you no longer relate to? Let’s re-see those moments in a fuller way, extract the wisdom they have to offer, and update the stories to honor the beautiful, evolving creature you are still becoming.

Consistency may not come naturally, but that doesn't mean you can't nurture it. What story are you telling yourself about why you find it challenging? Make Magic: The secret to consistency is not forcing yourself to follow someone else’s system. It’s about finding the modes, the methods, and the moods that work best for you.

No is a big, dangerous, empowering word. No allows you to protect your energy, and direct it toward the projects and practices that resonate for you.

Mentioned: More Room at Home Declutter Coaching Make Magic: When you’re feeling guilt or shame about saying no, remember that every Yes is a No to something else.

In every relationship we have - from the most fleeting interaction to the longest, deepest friendship - there are moments when we must choose to declare our truth, or hold it in. This spell will help you recognize when you can no longer afford the energy it costs to keep your truth to yourself, and how to claim the awesome power your truth brings with it. Mentioned: Author, educator, researcher, and podcaster Brené Brown . Make Magic: When you’re faced with the decision about whether or not to speak your mind, remember; your truth is making itself known, whether you choose to speak it or not.

Mentioned: Tarot phenom and podcaster Linsday Mack .

In order to live on purpose, actively and consciously and purposefully cocreating our reality, it helps immensely to evolve our relationship with change. Embracing change takes time, and a lot of our precious energy, but this spell will help you see that you are already changing, and it doesn’t have to be scary. Make Magic: Whatever unfulfilling situation you’re in, keep in mind that it is not the same as it was when it began. It has changed, and so have you. The worst-case scenario isn’t what happens when you move on; it’s the passive, reactive acceptance of the status quo you’re already living. Transcript: A Spell to Expand Your Capacity for Change…

Oh, my love, I cannot tell you how A M A Z I N G it was to be on this year’s Luminous in Taos retreat. I’ve delivered and attended dozens of retreats, and this one was on a whole other level, because it was fully and intentionally co-created! I’m delighted to have my co-creatrix King Moe back on the show to talk about what went into building that delicious collaborative experience, and how you can inject some of that magic into your next big project.

The systems that dominate our world tell us that our desires are Problematic, and evidence of our badness. We're taught that desire is dangerous, because desire is so powerful that structurally oppressive forces would prefer that we contain, repress, suppress, ignore, and deny them. But, my darling, I’m here to insist that your desires are key: to your wellness, to your fulfillment, to your growth, and also, therefore to your contribution to the collective. Mentioned: Episode 72 of Mind Witchery: Conjuring Money Confidence, featuring the Fabulous Ray Dodd. Make Magic: I really believe that our collective liberation lies in each of us - me and you, all of us - being more conscious and more curious about our desires. We have to acknowledge that Desire is Power. If we align our desires with our values, we can begin to use desire as a way of living those values, and making the world we want to live in. Transcript: A Spell to Let Yourself Want What You Want…
Confidence around making (and spending!) money is a struggle that is So Real. The dominant system wants us scared, wants us anxious, so we don’t have the energy to envision a different way. Money and business coach Ray Dodd is the perfect person to help us see beyond the internalized messages and learn to trust ourselves with money. I know you’re going to love Ray as much as I do, and I can’t wait for you to share in her wisdom. Mentioned: Ray helps women earn life-changing amounts of money without having to compromise who they are. Ray’s website is https://www.raydodd.co.uk/ Her Money Makers Podcast is at https://www.raydodd.co.uk/podcast Ray on Insta: https://www.instagram.com/ray_dodd/ Ray on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@raydoddmoneycoach Make Magic: The root of money confidence is self-trust. We have to unlearn all the lessons about how our self-worth is tied up in our ability to make money and to spend it in a way They think is responsible. But we also have to think clearly about the power that comes with making more money, and how we want to relate to and use that power in ways that support our values. Transcript: Conjuring Money Confidence feat. Ray Dodd…
I can’t wait to share some questions with you for this Full Moon. This moment feels heavy and obstructed, but there is SO MUCH potential in this lunation.

Make Magic: You’ll find the questions for every 2022 full (and new) moon in the book New and Full Moon Rituals for Entrepreneurs and Changemakers , co-authored with my friend and fellow witch Leslie Tagorda , host of The Savvy Luminary podcast .

Spoiler Alert, my love. There is no magic formula for making other people change their behavior to suit our needs. Changing the way others interact with you starts with what we bring to the interaction. This time, we’re going to zoom in on those moments where we're wanting someone else to do something. We’re going to figure out where our own power is, and how to channel it into the change we're really looking for. Mentioned: Marie Kondo's book The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up Make Magic: You can influence other people's actions and choices but you cannot choose for them. Instead, you can take responsibility for your contribution to the situation. Look for the ways in which you’re going along with disrespectful behaviors. And show YOURSELF the kindness, courtesy, and respect you want to receive from the people around you. Transcript: A Spell to Get People To Do What You Want…

Integrity is a big, imposing topic. Fortunately, we don’t have to explore it alone. I’m so excited to share my conversation with Kristin Sweeting. Kristin is a photographer turned coach for creative entrepreneurs. She’s succeeded by learning to trust herself, and to honor her values over those of the dominating culture, and she’s here to share her wisdom with us! Mentioned: Follow Kristin on Instagram @kristinsweeting , learn more about her creative coaching on her website, https://dangerschool.com , check out Dangerous Creatives on Instagram @dangerouscreatives , and subscribe to the Dangerous Creatives podcast at https://dangerschool.com/podcast or wherever you listen. Make Magic: When you are true to you, that’s integrity. That's where the happiness is. That's where the growth is. That's where the money is. It's not easy. It's not a pot of gold at an end of a rainbow. We still have to build it, and we have to grow a lot to do it. But that’s how we build the life, and the world, that we want. Transcript: Conjuring Integrity Feat. Kristin Sweeting…
Living in integrity with our values is uncomfortable. Of course it is. People who don’t share your values will judge you. The dominating culture will punish you. Righteous discomfort honors that. It says, Listen. You are going to be uncomfortable either way. So if you’re going to experience discomfort, which discomfort do you choose? The discomfort that comes with staying small going along, and taking what you’re given? Or the discomfort that stretches you and expands you into being who you really want to be? Mentioned: Poem 133: The Summer Day, by Mary Oliver Make Magic: Righteous discomfort works because we, all of us, exist at choice. Always. You can A L W A Y S choose to reject the discomfort of conforming and giving in and embrace the righteous discomfort of being your whole, authentic, magical self. Transcript: A Spell for Righteous Discomfort…
If I know you, dear listener, you are interested in making the most of your one wild and precious life. I truly believe that paying attention to values (our own values, the values of our dominating culture, and all the ways in which those values conflict) is so valuable when we’re trying to understand why we make choices that don’t feel right. Mentioned: The fantastic, insightful book Values in Therapy , by Jenna LeJeune and Jason B. Luoma . Make Magic: If you feel that you’re falling short of a standard, or that you’re doing shit you do not want to do in order to meet a standard, the problem is not you. The problem is a mismatch between the values you cherish and the values you’ve been conditioned to prioritize. Look at your life, and ask yourself: “What values am I living as I move through the world, and are they truly my own?” Transcript: A Spell for Living Your Values…
Every full moon is an opportunity for illumination and reflection, but the Full Moon in Sagittarius is extra special. It asks us to look back on a cycle of change and growth that began in late 2020.

Make Magic: You’ll find the questions for every 2022 full (and new) moon in the book New and Full Moon Rituals for Entrepreneurs and Changemakers , co-authored with my friend and fellow witch Leslie Tagorda , host of The Savvy Luminary podcast . Transcript: Full Moon and Full Circle in Sagittarius…
As someone bringing goodness into the world, it’s vital to seek opportunities for improvement. But when you live in a dominant culture that’s obsessed with productivity and with doing instead of being, it’s easy to find yourself twisted up over every minor detail that wasn’t Exactly Right. This spell will help you remember to celebrate yourself and the amazing things you bring to all of us! Mentioned: My friend and fellow coach Anna Hazenberg . Self-kindness expert Dr. Kristin Neff . Make Magic: One of my favorite ways to practice giving myself the credit I deserve is to write a list of appreciations of what’s working. Maybe it’s things I’m doing, meaning I’m making, or co-creations I’m helping to reveal. Taking the time to focus on what’s going right, where I’m doing well, gives me the chance to enjoy my wins and give myself some love. Transcript: A Spell for Boosting Enoughness…

Mentioned: Revolutionary dancer, choreographer, and badass Martha Graham on the Life-Force of Creativity and the Divine Dissatisfaction of Being an Artist . OG life coach and straight shooter Barbara Sher on doing what you love . Make Magic: We all exist at choice. When we’re thinking about pursuing our dreams, the choice is what type of discomfort do you want to feel? Do you want the frustration of seeing the imperfections in the things you create?

Eclipses are powerful moments in the lunar cycle, and they encourage us to change the game. This eclipse in Scorpio is an opportunity for reevaluation and recalibration.

Our dominant culture fetishizes individual achievement. It demands that we reject co-creation and collective effort. It insists that solitary hard work is the only path to success, and the clearest sign of our value as human beings. This week, we’re exploring Where this lie comes from, Why it’s utter bullshit, and How you can opt out of its toxicity. Mentioned: Brigid Schulte’s book Overwhelmed: Work, Love, And Play When No One Has The Time Barack Obama’s 2012 campaign speech (the “you didn’t build that” portion is at 52:59). https://www.c-span.org/video/?307056-2/president-obama-campaign-rally-roanoke# Make Magic: The next time you’re thinking about getting help, taking ease, or investing in your own growth, don’t wait until you’ve “earned it.” Embrace the idea of seeking the support that empowers and amplifies the life you are already living. Transcript: A Spell for Receiving Support…
This week’s spell was prompted by a listener. She, like me (and maybe you?) struggles with how to be generous with herself when her perfectionist tendencies are urging her to Do More, Better, Faster, Now.

It’s full of magic just for you. While you’re there, visit nataliekmiller.com/contact and let me know what spells would add sparkle to your life.

One of the hardest things we can learn to do is give ourselves the space, grace, and accommodation we routinely offer to the people we love.

Crankiness is part of being human. For the toddler who doesn’t want their sandwich if it’s not cut into triangles. And the podcaster who loves her her listeners but sometimes needs some self-love and care to get herself behind the mic. This spell will help you find and honor the real source of your crankiness, so you can take back your agency. Make Magic: As you unearth and address the circumstances that motivate your crankiness, I hope you’ll remember that crankiness is a blessing.

Make Magic: Remember, my love: sometimes, life is challenging. If you’re stuck in a low spot, it’s NOT because you’re, or lazy, or damned.

Our dominant culture overwhelmingly operates at the speed of Now. When the world is telling you that Faster is Better, it takes enormous courage to say No. This spell will help you trust that everything is unfolding at its own pace. Mentioned: The delightful plant that started with sticks in a jar of water, and refused to grow on any timetable but its own. Make Magic: When we want things to go more swiftly, what we really want is to get to the good result.

This spell is part of a very steep learning curve for me, and, I suspect, for you. In a society that discourages self-honoring priorities, and encourages us to accommodate the needs of others, learning to set and enforce healthy boundaries is a lifelong practice. Here’s a spell that will help both of us climb that learning curve. Mentioned: The very insightful book Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle , by Emily Nagoski, PhD and Amelia Nagoski, DMA. Make Magic: Honorable boundaries are honest about your needs. They have clearly defined terms and consequences. And they’re enforced when the boundary is crossed. When you draw and hold these boundaries for yourself, you’re setting an example for all of us who aren’t sure we deserve to have our integrity respected. Transcript: A Spell for Honorable Boundaries…

In order to fit in, you must be ENTIRELY YOURSELF. And the more yourself you are willing to be - embracing your quirks and your differences, but also integrating and appreciating the parts of yourself you don’t like all that much - the easier it will be to find your place.

Make Magic: You’ll find the questions for every 2022 full (and new) moon in the book New and Full Moon Rituals for Entrepreneurs and Changemakers , co-authored with my friend and fellow witch Leslie Tagorda , host of The Savvy Luminary podcast .

I love the expansive perspective that comes with looking at life through the metaphorical tools of astrology. In 2022, we’re going to explore the themes and threads illuminated by the brilliant light of each Full Moon. This Full Moon in Cancer reminds us that we must care for ourselves if we want to change the world, AND/BUT if we want to fully nourish ourselves and others, we must build systems and structures that support our human needs.

Whenever you’re ready to plant the seed of something new, this spell will help you bring it into the world in a purposeful and powerful way. Mentioned: Brené Brown’s Dare to Lead List of Values is a beautiful combo: a list of values that might resonate with you, and a practice for helping you decide which ones speak to you most deeply. Make Magic: When you’re ready to start something new, don’t jump right to “what, when, and how much.” Instead, consider the values that speak to your heart, and the vibes you want to bring to the world.

Does being angry scare you? Does it feel like something you have to deny, or push down? I’m here to tell you, that’s the patriarchy talking.

Why is allowing rest so difficult? Blame the usual suspects: capitalism, white dominant culture, patriarchal inhumanism, and the Puritanical cultural roots we can’t seem to dig out. All this to say: it makes total sense that it can be super hard to Just. Stop. Doing. I hope these thoughts will help.

Life is full of decisions to be made, and perhaps you - like me - find them perplexing sometimes. This episode exposes some of the mind tricks that make decision-making difficult, redefines what a “good” decision actually is, and gives you the most helpful thing to consider as you’re choosing your next step forward. Mentioned: Mind Witchery Episode 11, A Spell for Trusting Your Next Move . Make Magic: Wherever it’s time for you to make a decision, shift away from Right/Wrong and toward Values and Qualities. What values are most important that area of your life? What qualities do you want to cultivate? Who do you want to be and become? Which next step takes you in that direction?…
Listen: our overnight-success-obsessed culture has a warped sense of progress, and it keeps us from seeing the truth of - and finding comfort in - the cycles of creation. I love a good metaphor, so in this episode, we’ll use an agricultural analogy to rethink progress as cyclical rather than linear, slow and co-creative rather than fast and dominating, and sustainable rather than explosive. Make Magic: Use this metaphor to get new perspective on where you find yourself right now, re: progress. If your endeavor were a field, which stage is it in? For what developments do you need to give yourself credit?…
Do you ever get scared when things are too good? When you get that great job, find that supportive relationship, or reach a new level of happiness, does it feel too good to be true?

When we’re struggling with a new practice or an old habit, it’s tempting to blame ourselves. To say “I can’t,” and surrender to frustration and guilt.

Mentioned: Carol Dweck’s very insightful book Mindset: The New Psychology of Success . Make Magic: The next time you hear yourself thinking “I can’t,” take a break. Ask yourself: Is this a skill or habit I want to develop? Or a responsibility I don’t really want? Then open yourself to learning the thing, or to letting it go.…

I bet there are parts of yourself you don’t like all that much. Tendencies you have that you can’t stand. I bet you have plenty to criticize about yourself, frankly because the white-dominant, heteronormative, ableist patriarchy DEPENDS on it.

Karla McLaren’s helpful approach to anger . Make Magic: Sit down and have a written conversation - like, in a notebook - with one of the parts you don’t like so much.

What can we do differently?” and so on.…
It makes TOTAL sense to me that we humans worry as much as we do. Of course we do - life on Planet Earth sends all sorts of twists and turns our way, and we have the ability to think into the future.

Traditionally, it’s a time of birth, blossoming, and new beginnings . . . and yet.
