Instagram.com/es.poetry.4u In this episode Swailes the Friendly Green Witch interviews Jen Romanowski aka Sunshine The Pink Haired Sober Witch, hailing from the USA. Sunshine is a high priestess, healer, and founder of the Sober Witch community. Our guest shares her journey from discovering witchcraft at 16 to overcoming addiction and creating a unique 13-step recovery program for witches. Sunshine discusses the challenges of sobriety within spiritual communities, the importance of supportive spaces, and her vision for The Sovereign Phoenix, a non-profit for witches in recovery. The episode highlights the transformative power of combining witchcraft and sobriety, offering hope, community, and spiritual empowerment. "Hi I am Sunshine and I am very f*cking gratefully recovering alcoholic. I am a Psychic Medium, Soul Healer and Spiritual Advisor. I am a DIE hard lover of some deep intensive shadow work. A warrior against fear and limiting beliefs. An eternal optimist that is always able to find the light in the bleakest of moments. I am a lover of powerful emotions. I am an eclectic witch, a practiced magician, and a forever learning alchemist. And all of this is what I bring to you to help you step out of the dark and into your own bright, shining, beautiful light."
