Salt & Sovereignty: Trauma-Informed Witchcraft for Sovereignty and Self-Remembrance

Salt & Sovereignty: Trauma-Informed Witchcraft for Sovereignty and Self-Remembrance

Salt & Sovereignty is a trauma-informed spiritual podcast where real stories become ritual. Hosts Ashley and Lizza share raw, unedited journeys through complex trauma, sacred rage, and sovereign becoming; guided by their original five-phase healing method, The Unknowing System. Each season centers a core trauma wound like abandonment, silence, or violation, and unfolds as an intimate mythic arc: from personal descent to throne distortion to embodied reclamation. This isn’t performative healing. It’s lived experience offered as spell, story, and invitation. Inside: shadow work, somatic ritual, archetypal truth-telling, and sacred mirror moments from two witches walking their own wild returns. Whether you’re healing from CPTSD, navigating spiritual awakening, or reclaiming your voice after trauma, this podcast offers a mythic path home to the self you buried to survive. Salt the wound. Bless the fire. Reclaim the wild.
