The Witch That Tests You Twice

In this episode, Ashley and Lizza trace the smoke of a mythic tale, The Crescent Moon Bear, into the marrow of modern womanhood. Together, they speak of silences kept too long, the cost of swallowing truth, and the sacred fire of rage that signals return.

Wading through the dense forests of relational wounding, they explore what it means to advocate for oneself when shame still echoes. They speak of setting boundaries not as walls, but as altars. Of letting grief be witnessed without being polished. Of allowing rage to rise, not as rupture, but as revelation.

Here, healing is not a clean line. It is a spiral. A howl. A whisper turned vow.

This is a descent into the underbelly of truth, and a rising as the woman who no longer dims to be digestible.
