On the Secret Witch Show today, our guest is Yolanda Williams. Yolanda is a Reiki Master Teacher, energetic alchemist, and host of the Reiki Radio podcast. Certified in Wellness Counseling through Cornell University, her work helps women come into sacred relationship with themselves - revealing the interconnected nature of mind, body, spirit, and energy.

In this beautifully intimate and thought-provoking conversation, we explore what it truly means to live as both magician and human - to become a conscious creatrix of our life while honouring our very real, often messy, humanness. Yolanda shares openly about her own journey through energy work, healing, emotional repression, and the descent into her body - illuminating how sensitivity and self-awareness can become the very tools of our transformation.

Together, we speak to the truth that we are always working with energy - whether consciously or unconsciously - and how our thoughts, feelings, and words are spells shaping our lives. This is an essential conversation for the Secret Witch who is navigating the tension between her spiritual gifts and her everyday human experience - and longs to trust that she already is the magic she’s seeking.

What You’ll Learn from this Episode:

• We are always creating - either unconsciously from wounding or consciously through energetic integrity; our thoughts, feelings, and words are spells that shape our lives

• True magic is not about escaping humanity, but integrating it; healing begins by descending into the body and softening into our emotional truth

• Sensitivity is not a flaw - it’s a sacred gift, and learning to honour it can guide us back to our wholeness and power

• Energy work unifies mind, body, and spirit - revealing the deeper self and activating our innate healing intelligence

• The archetype of the magician teaches us to master our inner elements - mind (air), emotion (water), will (fire), and body (earth) - in service to spirit (ether)

• You are the remedy - your lived experience holds the exact magic you’re here to embody and offer.
