In this thoughtful episode, Dr. Robyn McKay explains why it’s so important for physicians, clinicians, and leaders to be trauma-informed. Because as leaders, we carry the responsibility of creating both psychological and physical safety for our patients and clients.
This episode explores:
Why leaders and clinicians need to learn how to read energy
How many reactions are rooted in unresolved trauma
The difference between feeling confused and encountering confusing energy
Why naming confusing energy creates clarity and safety
How control shows up as a dissonant leadership style
What it looks like to lead from control
How to lead from coherence
Why coherent leadership builds trust and connection
What psychological safety really means
The energetic aspect of psychological safety that leaders must understand
What if leadership itself became a healing practice? The future of leadership is trauma-informed, and this shift begins with us.

In today’s episode, Dr. Robyn McKay explores why burnout is often more than just exhaustion or a full moon. Sometimes it’s our energy and nervous system simply reaching capacity.
Inside this conversation, we dive into:
Why burnout is more than feeling tired
The difference between fatigue and energetic depletion
How curiosity about the nervous system brings awareness
Nervous system expansion vs. collapse
Why a big influx of money can trigger contraction instead of expansion
How your response to money influences your energetic capacity
The role adrenaline plays in physical burnout
How we co-regulate each other’s nervous system
Why coherence is foundational for leadership
How to create coherence and energetic alignment with others
Because when you expand your capacity to hold your nervous system in a coherent, curated space, you create the conditions for others to meet you there too.

In this episode, we’re diving into energy literacy and how intuitive clinicians can integrate the cosmic with the clinical and the mystical with the medical. We’ve been taught to read behaviors, but we’re now moving beyond the 3D—because there is far more to energy than meets the eye.
This episode explores:
Understanding human behavior is also about reading energy
Why there’s more to energy than meets the eye
Not everything you feel is yours
Transference and countertransference in therapy
Why we should be aware of our own energy
The benefits of reading energy
When you can read energy, you can move energy
How energy moves through the nervous system
The neopersonality profile of energy readers
What we can see beyond the 3D
Remember, energy literacy is not an intellectual pursuit. It’s the pursuit of the soul—learning the language your soul has been speaking all along.

In this short but powerful episode, I’ll be uncovering why the most rational, high-performing clinicians are now secretly studying intuition behind closed doors.
We’ll explore:
Why high-achieving clinicians turn to intuition
How intuition has been devalued
The role of intuition in fast, aligned decision-making
What’s missing beyond credentials
How to access and honor your intuition
Letting go of control and stepping into mystery
What happens when you start owning your intuitive power
Why mystery doesn’t exist in the purely rational
How embracing your intuition influences others
Why your intuitive abilities aren’t meant to be transmitted
This is your sign to tap into your intuition, activate your energetic gifts, and learn to move and clear your own energy. Because, beyond being intelligent and accomplished, you are intuitive.

In 2019, she made the decision to pursue art professionally after recognizing it as her true life’s calling. Madden’s creative path began with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology and Physiology from the University of New Hampshire, where she graduated summa cum laude. She spent 15 years working in the fitness industry before transitioning into sustainable fashion— a field that continues to inform her work. Drawing inspiration from her passion for the environment, design, and the intersection of beauty and sustainability, Madden creates layered, textural works that are both elegant and evocative.

In this unflinching and wide-ranging conversation, Robyn welcomes back bestselling coach and author Nicole Cherie Hesse, whose new novel A Shadow Called Sunshine is fiction-ish, soul-coded, and anything but self-help as usual.
This episode explores:
Why Nicole wrote a novel instead of a business book
The dangers of turning survivorship into an identity
How trauma bonding gets masqueraded as empowerment
The rise of the relatable trauma brand—and why Nicole’s not here for it
The cultural spell of Twilight, 50 Shades, and “healing” arcs that leave women stuck
What it means to choose the pattern interrupt
The So That What movement and how it builds beyond #MeToo
Plus, we reflect on our own experiences with narcissistic abuse, spiritual trauma, and what it means to hold radical responsibility without shame.
If you’ve ever been sold the story that being chosen by a powerful person was the win—this one will set the record (and your nervous system) straight.

The one with the polyamory plot twist
In this inaugural episode of their monthly podcast, Robyn and Alyse are back behind the mic and pulling zero punches. With a name (finally) and a whole lot of opinions, the duo dives into:
The origin story of this very podcast (spoiler: ChatGPT may or may not be to blame)
A spicy little detour on the blank slate model still being taught in therapy training (?!), and how that relates to self-disclosure, clean fields, and the ethics of being real
A collective side-eye toward the Aubrey Marcus “Radical Monogamy” situation and what it reveals about manipulation in spiritual branding
The difference between intuition vs. influence in the age of algorithmic consensus
A lowkey philosophical throwdown on trauma-as-performance, the relatability-industrial complex, and why your story doesn’t have to be tragic to be powerful
AI weirdness, deep-fake Brene Brown, and the art of trusting your own energy over what the algorithm tells you is real
From Barbie-core psychotherapy flashbacks to high-level insights on consent, discernment, and the post-Bewitched era, Robyn and Alyse are here to decode the culture, name the patterns, and say what everyone else is (very politely) not.
New episodes drop monthly.
Title: Don't Let Them.

Join me over in the House of Sheology for weekly lives where I teach about how to create premium offers that hold all of your medicine and feel just as good selling as they do delivering.
Welcome back to the House of Sheology, the podcast for spiritually intelligent leaders who are building lives, businesses, and bodies of work that are both profitable and principled.
This week’s episode is part of what I’m calling the After Series—conversations that were recorded before we officially closed the book on the entity formerly known as “Betty,” but that carry essential codes and clarity for this moment in time.
You’re about to hear the audio from one of our most powerful Instagram Lives—a Debriefed conversation with my cohost Alyse Bacine and our guest, Elizabeth Purvis. At the time, we were still inside the unraveling, still metabolizing the lessons. Listening now, from the other side of the spell, the wisdom hits even deeper.
In this episode, we explore what it means to walk the path of eldership, why powerful women so often remain silent in the face of manipulation, and how to find your voice—again. There’s a little tarot (you’ll know which card), a lot of truth, and yes... a brief and very joyful nod to Phoebe Buffay.
If you’ve ever questioned your instincts inside a mentorship…
If you’ve ever wondered why you stayed longer than you wanted to…
If you’re ready to hold yourself—and your students—to higher standards of spiritual maturity and leadership…
This one’s for you.
In this episode, we explore:
What spiritual eldership really means—and how you know you’re ready
The role of shame in silencing powerful women
The nuances of mentorship, projection, and unmet needs
Why we stayed, how we left, and what we’ve reclaimed since
How the archetypes of the Empress and that Tarot card shape our stories
The importance of writing it down—and saying it out loud
Elizabeth’s return to teaching the Akashic Records
Alyse’s full-circle moment as a teacher
And yes… the long-awaited Smelly Cat video makes its official debut. You can watch right here (I apologize in advance) 🎸

Episode 13 — The One Where We Close the Book
After 13 episodes and 11 powerful stories, we’ve arrived at the final chapter of Season One.
This series has been called groundbreaking.
It’s also been called the most important conversation on the internet right now.
In this episode, Robyn and Alyse reflect on what’s been revealed, remembered, and reclaimed—and what happens when we stop centering the so-called leader and start listening to the women who walked away.
We explore the patterns that emerged across every story—trauma bonding, isolation tactics, emotional whiplash, psychic manipulation, and manufactured loyalty—as well as the psychological architecture behind it all. Robyn brings forward insights from personality psychology and spiritual intelligence, and Alyse maps the energetics of trauma-based mind control and recovery.
We also name what Bewitched is—and what it is not.
This was never a cult exposé.
It was never about revenge.
It’s about clarity. Integrity. Discernment.
And the women who chose to tell the truth.
In this episode, we cover:
Why we didn’t reveal Betty’s identity—and why that matters
The patterns of manipulation seen across all 11 stories
The contrast between the Dark Tetrad and the Light Triad
How personality traits like openness, agreeableness, and unhealed trauma made us vulnerable to harm
Why the decision to tell these stories now is a reclaiming of voice, power, and consciousness
What happens next—for us, and for the field of spiritual leadership
Robyn also shares the moment she knew it was time to speak.
And she closes the season with the words her dear friend Barb gives her every time she leaves the farm in Kansas:
“Now, voyager—sail thou forth to seek and find.”

Episode 11 of Bewitched: Breaking the Spell After Spiritual Mentoring Goes Wrong
Baljit Rayat was there in the beginning.
The first student.
The one who trusted deeply, taught faithfully, and stayed loyal — even after her intuition told her something wasn’t right.
In this episode, Baljit shares her story of spiritual mentorship turned sideways: the gaslighting, the psychic tracking, the grief, and the moment in Santa Fe when the portal was opened… and something else walked in.
Baljit’s episode arrives on Beltane — a sacred day of fire and fertility, crowned also by May Day, when Catholics honor Mary, the Divine Mother. It also marks the 11th story in the series — a number known in numerology as a gateway, a spiritual master number, a turning point.
What she reveals in this conversation is layered and lucid — including:
The early years of deep trust and transformation
Her experience with fawning and subtle coercion
How she now sees signs of spiritual psychosis
The energetic aftermath: psychic tracking, sexual energy blocks, and more
And the unexpected role she may have played as a “handler” inside the system
I trusted her.
I carried her work.
I stayed loyal.
And then I saw what it had become.
This is the final story before the season finale.
The spell is nearly broken.

Some women are with you until the very last page of the story. Brenda is one of them.
In this week’s episode, Alyse and I sit down with Brenda, who knew “Betty” since 2016 and stayed close through two major retreats—including the last one in Croatia.
Her reflections are grounded, insightful, and offer a rare perspective on what it means to stay, witness, and ultimately walk away with clarity.
This isn’t a dramatic tell-all.
It’s a steady, clear conversation about what happens when truth begins to override loyalty.
In this episode:
Why staying ‘too long’ is often part of the process
The subtle distortion of gaslighting over time
How Brenda found her way out—not in a blaze, but with quiet strength
What it really looks like to reclaim clarity after spiritual confusion
Why women like Brenda matter to the narrative
✨ Also inside:
The difference between devotion and entanglement
The moment the spell breaks—and what comes next

Episode Title: The One Where She Said What Needed to Be Said
Podcast Series: Bewitched: Breaking the Spell After Spiritual Mentoring Goes Wrong
Guest: Elizabeth Purvis
Episode Description:
Before there was Betty, there was Elizabeth Purvis—a brilliant teacher, skilled magician, and established transformational leader whose work was already flourishing long before Betty entered the scene.
In The One Where She Said What Needed to Be Said, Elizabeth joins Robyn and Alyse to share the story she’s never told publicly. Not because she was hiding it—but because the moment had to be right. And now, it is.
This episode pulls back the curtain on what happens when leadership turns to manipulation, when discernment gets clouded by charisma, and when a trusted mentor crosses the line from inspiration into appropriation. Elizabeth speaks with clarity, grace, and grounded power as she recounts the years-long arc of her relationship with Betty—culminating in the ultimate irony: being accused of copying the very material Betty quietly took from her.
This is not just a story about what went wrong. It’s a conversation about reclaiming your space. About choosing truth over comfort. About leading with both power and integrity—even when it costs you something.
As always, we've changed the name of the mentor ("Betty") and the retreat locations. But the story? True, blue, and unfiltered.
Mentioned in this episode:
What to watch for when a mentor starts crossing the line
How Elizabeth’s magical lineage shaped her discernment and devotion to ethical practice
Why spiritually intelligent, high-achieving women are often targeted—and how to see it sooner
The difference between divine neutrality and emotional disconnection
What it looks like to reclaim your leadership after being accused of copying work she originated—and choosing to walk away with integrity
