THE WITCH EDIT —

THE WITCH EDIT —

Have you noticed that it’s not just the spirit world that’s collided with our reality? It’s also the shadows that haunt our perception of self and our relationships.

To put it bluntly - the veil isn’t just thin between our world and the other realm.

The veil is also thin between illusion and clarity. Lies and truth. Who people really are and who they want you to think they are. Who you are and who you’re becoming. What you used to accept and what you won’t tolerate anymore.

I know it’s frustrating, I know it’s like digging a hole in your own heart right now all of these hard decisions and leaps of faith in the name of self awareness and healing.

It’s worth it. What you can see now, it’s worth it to look some more. What you can feel now, that truth beneath the surface, it’s been waiting for you to notice.

The gratification won’t be immediate but it will be on time.

You’re not crazy, you’re being shown the way forward.

THE MODERN WITCH —

She is often seen alone but always visited

She is heart lead and doors open

She is controlled in her reaction and demonstrative in her response

She is the black cat passing you by

She is hiphop, she is bluegrass, she is Lana Del Rey

She is on time and obsessive in nature

She knows when you’re talking about her

She is red nails and long hair

She knows rage opens the doors for new ways to serve

She considers health an absolute

She is out of place on purpose

She is luxury, diamonds, black on black

She makes you wonder - how?

She is focused, discerning

She is your love, your shadow, your perception of reality

She is everything all at once

She lives in the extremes of the spectrums in hopes of bringing you toward middle ground

She is honest, always

She is (her)e now…

I am (her)e now.

What I wish more people knew about me and my work:

I’m really, really quite sensitive. Yes this is so helpful when I’m giving to you in a session AND I have big feelings in my personal life often.

I believe in and I am so grateful to be in therapy. Therapy is an amazing addition to my work.

I am not reading your mind or seeing your shadows or talking to/seeing dead people when I’m outside of a session. That’s intrusive and honestly would be exhausting. This is a learned skill and an absolute boundary that protects my energy.

I’m not judging you for not having your shit together. No one really has their shit together. It’s not an expectation of mine for you. I just expect kindness and honesty.

Speaking of honesty, the most frustrating thing I deal with in my work is when a client isn’t being honest with me. Not because it hurts my feelings, but because I believe that if you’re paying to feel better then you might as well get your moneys worth.

I’m totally psychic. Sometimes it’s so cool, especially when people get everything they want and that I saw. Other times it’s frustrating when I see some shit coming my way. Either way it’s one of my favorite gifts.

I started my business because I needed someone like the person I’ve become. I did this work with myself first quietly and alone in a small New York City apartment just TRYING to feel calm and not so anxious and depressed. It worked… better than I thought it ever could.

I figured out I could do energy healing the first time I took 🍄 all by accident. I got reiki certifications to understand what was happening and to give me some language around my new found skills.

I do consider myself a full time witch. I’m not afraid of the word witch. I love being a witch! I’m not the devil because I am a witch. 😂

Sometimes being who I am makes me feel lonely. Loneliness is one of the longest standing shadow feelings of my life. It comes with the territory and I would rather feel that over inauthentic or not of service.

I don’t do love and light. I do real, clear and full spectrum work.

You don’t have to apologize for telling me your life story or for “dumping” on me in session. It’s what you paid for!

8 YEARS OF PIPER CARDI ❤️‍🔥

Our hurricane rescue, our crazy girl who climbs trees and hunts squirrels, our snuggle bug, our fearless yapper who made us a family 😭

This was the first year she had us spend some bank on her health and were happy to report that she’s doing just fine. It’s sooooo Piper to have an extra big heart 🥲

Who were we having 2 rescue dogs just 9 months into dating at just 26 years old @asaparena ?!?

When the kids show up for an optional class, you pack them up in the car and let them do headstands with you in the park

ILY thanks for keeping me young… and for tolerating my “millennial music” 🫶🏻 @rileygrimshaww @ava.ratliff08 @leaveherwild_lorelai @riverlyn_capri

I’m sure you can feel as we step further into October
that “the veil” is thinning… or in other words… that the perceived difference between our world, our reality and the spirit world where our guides, ancestors and loved ones we have lost live are starting to blend. We see this reflected back to us in nature as the leaves first turn fiery then fall.

While I may be more finely tuned to this season of in between I trust that you can absolutely feel it too, you may just not have the words for it yet. The lights may be flickering in your house, you may feel a presence that’s unfamiliar and yet a little exciting to experience… the darkness falling over our hemisphere may begin to shift your perception of self in ways that feel uncomfortable yet welcomed.

This is autumn. This is the in between of leaving life behind and choosing to settle into the magic of darkness.

Take me to more places where 2 witches can pull cards on the beach sitting next to 3 nuns happily… and then go to a drag show ✨

As someone who loves to identify as a Full Time Witch, I’m so happy we have Octobers, because it reminds me just how many of you love (being) witches too 🪄

If you haven’t already… MEET CHLOE! My right side woman, my co-creator of all things golden, my handler 😂… but really though. Chloe makes everything *just simply work* in the background of our retreats, which is a huge lift and the whole point is that you would never know it. She double checks my work before you see any of it and tells me what sucks and what’s good enough to bring to you, our wonderful and incredible clients. She’s a witch, a baddie with a STACKED career history and truly a presence of support not just for me, but also for you - whether you realize it or not!

Chloe is the first to know all of my wild ideas and always answers the phone when I need to process something through. This is what allows for me, us, to bring you the most impactful and life-changing offerings and experiences.

She’s been working with me for over a year now and as we gear up for our next retreat, a whole 100hr training 👀👀👀 and everything else my ADHD brain can conjure I’d to just simply reintroduce her and her magic to you all.

We loooovvveee yoooouuu Chloeeeeeee 🧚🏻

It’s my hope that I continue to always have the opportunity to take photos like this 🥹

I tell the kids every Monday night how much they make me so happy and how the best parts of me love getting to see the best parts of them.

They’ve also have helped to motivate me to get back out of my shell (home office) and into our community again. I’ve been quietly seeing 1:1 clients in person 👀 and also just signed on to teach a fewwww (!) weekly meditation and energy healing classes at @ombody__ 😁

More to come soooooon 🖤

Our retreats are designed for women who are carrying and living and building full lives.

Women who are exploring their healing and who are craving a deeper reset.

Women who have meaningful tools but also know that there is more on the other side of an immersive, all-inclusive space.

Women who are not in need of another routine appointment or session, but who are looking for a long weekend away, where everything is already taken care of so that they can simply arrive.

Women who are soooo ready to just feel HELD… and omg do we know how to hold.

Our retreats are built to last. They’re simple yet expansive. We do the doing behind the scenes so that you don’t have to lift a finger.

We prioritize structure so that you get to feel flexible. Good food, great sessions, beautiful homes and amazing company.

🖤 We can’t wait to host you soon

While teaching the younger OMies this morning, I watched them naturally fall into holding hands at the end of class. It made me smile and remember last Novembers GA retreat when 2 women did the same. I can’t help but think this is one giant metaphor for the power and the MAGIC that happens when girls and women come together for a shared purpose. Whether it’s to heal, to explore, to relax or to embody… we are drawn to loving on our sister next to us as we love on ourselves. ✨🖤

WATCH UNTIL THE END FOR A SURPRISE 👀😂 It’s our wild and wonderful animal loving girls birthday today so I finally had to post this behind the scenes of what REALLY went on in Virginia 😂😂😂 Yes, we had deep moments of healing and spiritual growth but tbh, majority of the moments went down like this. FOREVER GRATEFUL for this group, that land, those cows because they’re still bringing the belly laughter that we all deserve!

Also this is your reminder to always wear a damn bra when practicing your inversions 🙄😂

BTW you can always see the full behind the scenes on my YouTube!

My people who have quit a substance and then gone to do something they used to always do with that substance will get it 🥲

It’s just so wild to watch yourself watching… yourself.

Forever learning to be uninhibited, how to take up space, how to share my energy in community. How to jam and dance freely..

How to be with spirit without ingesting spirit(s) is something I love to enJOY 💞🐟

You deserve a moment of peace. Just 10 breaths. Just 5 minutes. Just 1 walk. Just a quick phone call. A glass of water. A little treat. I love you, we’ve got this.

SUMMER ENERGY + how to play with it —

Abundance turns to overflow, check in with yourself and your containers (body, home, mind, backends of business, etc). Make sure you have additional support for when the heat turns up — what and who holds and soothes you best?

Trust and celebrate and respect the water — the ocean, the lake, the rain storm, your tears, the cold shower. How quickly do you believe your cup is half empty? How soon are you willing to refill it? Will you let yourself float? Will you let yourself dance?

Overgrowth can require pruning, but first take a moment to connect with the expansion.

More bodies, less covering. You are STUNNING. Accept it, love it, love you.

Who were you as a child in the summer? What do you need now?

Know the difference between a vacation and a family trip.

Learn how to dive in head first. Play is freedom.

Let your hair get long and wild and tangled.

Remember the flings, the long nights out and the magic of a summer romance. Who were you then? What energy can you call back to you now?

Have lazy lounge days. Pull more cards. Learn astrology. Microdose.

Give yourself the summer you need 🫧

Imagine — sitting by the fire seeing snowflakes fall smelling warm and cozy meals being prepared inside of a luxury log cabin. You just got to explore the main streets surrounding towns popping in and out of locally owned stores during your free time. The home you sit in is full of laughter, calm and joy. You feel so at home in your body because you got to practice modality blending rituals in a group of heart-centered new friends. You have your favorite socks and sweatsuit on. Who knew life in the winter could be so good?

There are just a few more spots available for the New York retreat. I hope you join us.

year three 🙃 “I am crazy therefor I will succeed”

thank you thank you thank you for another year

The last year in business I’ve been quietly challenged. This week Jill Arena turns 3, and in this last year I started and ended another venture, SW. I took on roles I am really good at, but ultimately brought me anxiety rather than fulfillment. I over stretched myself and put my witchy brain into a cage of old, masculine, corporate torment with the hopes of freedom on the other side. Why did I think I was not already free? Why did I forget that client work is the most fulfilling dream come to life imaginable? Why did I think complicating would bring abundance? I know better, but parts of me had to catch up.

That’s why I’ve brought @igniteengagement on board to support me through the many challenges that come with growth, alignment and ultimately connection as I move through what it takes to build a sustainable ME in order to have a sustainable business.

Last week I went to SC and had 2 incredible days with my sister in law Kristen and my coach Rachel and now I feel like I can add the sparkle back into JA that she deserves. No more cutting corners, no more making excuses. Just full body YES from here on out.

The fun, the healing, the connection begins the moment you say YASSS QUEEN to the voice that says “I want to go on that retreat..”

💞 The magic of Virginia continues in 2026! Are you coming with us?

Why walk when you can pet a miniature donkey? 😂 These babies made up a lot of our free time while on the Virginia retreat… from loving on them to scolding the one boy who was a little *too forward* with the ladies 👀 We fell in love with these babies

It’s scary to post this. I forgot I was mic’ed when I said this. I didn’t feel scared saying it then, but I do now! Why thought???! Why is it so scary to be honest about this thing I do still feel sometimes in front of more people than 2 women I trust?

My brain is trying to tell me a laundry list of all the reasons not to share this — but how has that ever healed me or someone who needs to feel seen, heard, less alone right now?

🙄

Candidly, @wehateyouchloe told me to post this. Eric did too. So I am, because sometimes you need other people to cheer for you so that you can cheer for others.

💞

I hope you believe that you are gorgina, beautiful, THAT witch this summer… no matter what 👏🏻

It can be really hard to say yes. Yes to the adventure, yes to not knowing anyone, yes to the long drive, yes to leaving your kids at home, yes to closing your eyes, yes to sharing, yes to trying something new, yes to admitting you don’t know how or why or when…

But sometimes there’s a little voice inside that says feel the fear and do it anyways.

The joy, friendships and self trust retreats can bring is exactly why we say yes. Because in saying yes, we’re also saying no.

No, I don’t believe these old stories anymore that I am not good enough. No I won’t listen to the voice in my head that says “what if they don’t like you”. No I won’t let someone else’s opinions of what I enjoy, seek, have interest in or want to spend my money on make the decisions for me anymore.

Retreats are always the BOTH/AND. The second you say YES, the retreat begins.
