What does it take to leave everything behind and build a life on your own terms?

In this episode, we sit down with Trish — a Paisley girl turned award-winning film editor based in New York — for one of the most raw and honest conversations we've had on the podcast.

Growing up the youngest of five in a big Catholic family, Trish never felt like she fitted the mould. She struggled academically, clashed with her dad, and at 18 faced a decision that would shape the rest of her life. A decision she kept secret from almost everyone she knew.

What followed was years of chasing — across countries, industries, and versions of herself — driven by something she couldn't quite name at the time. From a runner's job in Soho to editing rooms in Italy, from a fresh start in post-9/11 New York to a Super Bowl deadline at 2am during a pandemic, Trish has lived a lot of life. She talks candidly about what it means to make it as a woman in a male-dominated industry, the moment a health scare forced her to reassess everything, and how she eventually stopped white-knuckling her career — and started trusting the process instead.

She also shares an update on a chapter of her life she thought might stay closed forever. And it's a good one. If you've ever felt like you were running towards something without knowing exactly what — this episode is for you.

In this episode, we sit down with Renee, the witch and coach behind Sagittarian Tarot and Coaching, for a deeply honest an empowering conversation about finding your inner power — and why it took turning 40 and moving to Scotland to unlock it.

Renee grew up in a small, isolated town in eastern Washington state, surrounded by Baptist churches and Mormon communities. Despite always feeling spiritually curious, she spent decades searching for belonging through traditional religion — first in a liberal Christian church, then the Baha'i Faith — before a chance encounter with a news podcast in Glasgow in 2018 changed everything. That episode, about the rise of modern witchcraft, planted a seed that would transform her life.

But Renee's journey wasn't a straight line. She navigated a painful divorce, the loss of her mother to brain cancer, depression, and losing her teaching job — all during her Saturn return. Rather than collapsing, she sold everything and moved to Taiwan, where she met her now-husband of nearly 15 years. Life then took them from Hawaii to Scotland, where Renee finally found her home — and her calling.

Renee is quick to challenge the Harry Potter image of witchcraft. For her, magic isn't about spells and cauldrons — it's about inner work. Meditation, journaling, shadow work, and learning to trust your own intuition are at the heart of her practice. She describes how witchcraft gave her the courage to stop settling for "fine," start her own business, and step fully into herself. We also explore the bigger picture: why women's power has been suppressed for centuries, from the witch trials right here in Scotland to the fact that women couldn't hold their own credit cards until just decades ago. Renee makes the case that empowering women to love themselves isn't selfish — it's how we build a more caring, connected society for everyone.

Whether you're curious about witchcraft or simply looking for permission to trust yourself more, this episode is for you.

What if the key to transforming your life had been available to you all along — and you just hadn't given yourself permission to access it?

Tarot Reader and Spiritual Coach Renee shares a deeply personal story: a time when her self-talk was relentlessly critical, when she'd convinced herself that a "fine" life was all she deserved. That changed when she stumbled across a podcast episode about the rise of modern witchcraft — and nothing has been the same since.

Renee opens up about how she went from self-described "logical, rational person" to a practicing witch, and the exact moment the seed was planted (spoiler: her husband saw it coming). She reflects on how witchcraft helped her recognise that she was the one keeping herself stuck, and why seeing it through the lens of authors, professors, and intellectuals was the gateway she needed. At the heart of it all is a simple but radical idea: the power of intention, energy, and deciding you deserve better.
