Waking The Witch Podcast is an audio love letter, a source of connection, and a spell of inspiration. Last year, I felt called to celebrate the magic of my witchy friends and the metaphysical community. The idea felt electric, I could already hear the laughter, the tears, and the realness of each episode. A new fire lit within me and after many evolutions in my business as a spiritual practitioner, holding space for others felt undeniable.
I'm your host, Em aka The West End Witch—a Feminist-Esoteric teacher, medium and spiritual coach. This spiritual podcast expands what ‘magical’ means by featuring artists, creatives, and non-traditional folks living with intuition and authenticity. Each week, I explore someone’s life, craft, and path, sharing real stories and grounded wisdom for anyone drawn to spirituality, witchcraft, and personal growth. Every episode is a spell designed to transfer the magic being shared onto the listener. I hope you enjoy, and learn and laugh with us!
Waking up to Glamour Magic, Being Fearless in Art and the Power of Drag with Mother Moon
Welcome Witchlings!
It's our Mother's day episode...in November?! Just kidding, kind of. We're joined this week by Drag performer and Lunar Priestess Mother Moon. I saw her perform about a month ago at a show that we were both working and was immediately captivated by her warm and engaging energy on stage. I knew she had to join us on the podcast! We discuss what it truly takes to be a successful drag artist, fearlessly enacting one's creative ideas and how working with deities and divine feminine energy can enrich your artistic pursuits. Grab a mirror and practice your makeup while you listen to us :)
This episode feels like sitting around a campfire at night with your best friend while telling ghost stories and eating sweet treats. A bit smokey, spooky but ultimately safe and comforting.

Waking up to The Spirit Realm, Intuition, and the Power of Moving through Grief with Grace with Hannah Moody
Welcome Witchlings!
We're back after a brief break with a spooky Halloween interview with the lovely Psychic Medium Hannah Moody. Hannah gives us intimate insight into her journey training to be a professional psychic, and shares how she became connected to the spirit realm after experiencing personal grief and loss. We discuss all things that go bump in the night, dealing with negative energies and reconciling having occult gifts alongside practicing Christianity.
This Episode is made of fallen daisy petals, dried lavender and seeing sunlight reflected through stained glass windows and feeling contact with a higher power. Be prepared to be awakened to other realms of possibility beyond what you think you know.

Solo Episode: Waking up to Self Acceptance, Respecting Limits and Micro Actions to stay on your spiritual path
Welcome Witchlings!
This week is raw & real chat with yours truly about my thoughts on being a neurodivergent entrepreneur, trying to mask and blend in amongst girl boss hustle culture, and some practices you can do at home to make the most out of your spiritual routines when you're feeling burnt out and unmotivated. It's been a week, and I have been feeling pretty tired myself, so I wanted to connect and offer some perspective and love for those who are also in the chaos of life.
