"I was just feeling bad for myself… like, what's wrong? How do I figure this out? I just feel like nothing is gonna change for me. But I said yes to the work, and everything started to shift."

In this inspiring and emotionally honest episode, Elshia Vasquez returns to share her story of going from self-doubt and anxiety to sustaining her business within just three months of private coaching with me.

When she first reached out, Elshia was freshly out of a counseling job and struggling with self-worth, visibility fears, and the weight of unprocessed childhood wounds. But something in her said yes. Yes to diving deeper. Yes to healing. Yes to finally building what she was meant to create.

What followed was a transformational private container where we addressed her inner child wounding head-on, cleared emotional patterns tied to worthlessness and procrastination, and built the tangible business foundation she had always envisioned. In just three months, she landed long-term clients, created her freebie, grew her email list—and perhaps most importantly, rewired her nervous system and confidence from the inside out.

If you’ve ever felt frozen by fear, unsure how to move forward, or held back by invisible emotional blocks, Elshia’s story will remind you: it’s never too late to choose yourself, heal at the root, and watch your purpose take flight.

"I knew what I wanted, but there was something inside me that was like, ‘No.’ And for the first time—I listened to that voice."

In this deeply moving episode, I’m joined once again by Dr. Leah Taylor— PhD in Mind-Body Medicine, somatic psychologist, healer, and creator of Embodied Groove. Together, we reflect on her powerful journey of transformation inside The Mothership, where she confronted her core wound of unworthiness, released old survival patterns, and reclaimed her creative power.

Leah opens up about the turning points that defined the last year—from walking away from a job that didn’t meet her value, to building her own thriving client base, to ultimately returning to work under her terms. She also reveals the internal shifts that allowed her to stop sidelining her true soul’s work—Embodied Groove—and finally step into it as her legacy.

We talk about entrepreneurship through the lens of healing: how honoring your body, emotions, and intuition are the keys to sustainable success, and why inner child work is non-negotiable when you’re building a soul-led business. This conversation isn’t just about strategy—it’s about sovereignty.

If you’ve ever wrestled with self-worth, felt torn between your job and your calling, or feared putting your heart-led work out into the world—this episode will speak directly to you.

Press play and experience what happens when a woman stops abandoning herself and fully chooses her path.

"Guard your consciousness because our consciousness is our most most precious thing that we have."

Welcome to the grand finale of the Bewitched series. Robyn and I wrap up this intense journey, reflecting on lessons learned and closing the book. We discuss the ethical responsibility we felt and the personal cost of sharing these stories.

I share 11 patterns of manipulation I tracked across guest stories, explaining how they relate to childhood relational trauma and exploiting "soft spots", like creating trauma bonds and gaslighting.

Robyn adds personality insights, contrasting the Dark Tetrad with the Light Triad. We touch on how traits like openness and agreeableness, combined with trauma, may make accomplished, intuitive women susceptible. Discernment is crucial.

We also address the question of why Betty's identity was not revealed.

We're excited to continue podcasting, collaborating on new content focusing on ethics, integrity, and standards in the healing and spiritual leadership space.

We want to thank all of the women who wanted to come forward with their stories and experiences. And also, everyone who showed their support, caring and interest in the series. You rock!

This episode is an invitation to safeguard your consciousness, become aware of red flags, do your deeper work, and keep the conversation going so these patterns don't happen in this way again.

"I had no sexual energy. I couldn’t feel anything. That’s when I knew—we were siphoned."

In this final and explosive interview of the Bewitched series, Baljit Rayat steps forward with a harrowing story that spans nearly two decades. As the first student to ever learn the Akashic Records from Betty, Baljit didn’t just witness the rise of a spiritual leader—she lived through the full descent into chaos, control, and cult-like manipulation.

What began in 2006 as a path of spiritual awakening and mentorship slowly evolved into a twisted entanglement of gaslighting, psychosis, and psychic entrapment. Baljit recounts the signs she missed, the energy shifts she ignored, and the moments when her body began showing symptoms—weight gain, lost libido, mental fog—of being psychically infiltrated. But nothing prepared her for the Santa Fe retreat, where psychodrama erupted, euphoria blurred into confusion, and something darker came through under the guise of sacred ritual.

From being telepathically pressured to rejoin programs, Baljit unveils how Betty’s tactics became coercive, paranoid, and surreal. She opens up about the soul-crushing aftermath, the moment she finally blocked Betty, and the freedom that followed.

This episode is about reclaiming your energy, breaking the spell, and waking up to the truth.

"I love you, so I'm going to beat you… then tell you I love you again."

That’s how Brenda describes the psychological undertow that pulled her into—and kept her in—Betty’s web for nearly a decade.

In this piercing episode of the Bewitched series, Brenda Reiss joins us to unpack her long, layered experience with Betty, dating all the way back to 2014. What started as a business mentorship for a corporate escapee turned into an eerily familiar cycle of emotional manipulation, shame-laced power plays, and spiritual gaslighting.

Brenda takes us through every twist: the way Betty shamed clients into MLM schemes under the guise of financial empowerment, the bizarre telepathic “nudges” that seemed to lure her back whenever she tried to walk away, and the chaos of energetically loaded retreats where nothing was clear, yet everything felt controlling.

This episode hits hard with real-life cult tactics masquerading as coaching: isolating clients, confusing group dynamics, trauma bonding masked as healing, and the ever-slippery line between mentor and manipulator.

Brenda’s story is a masterclass in the slow, subtle erosion of personal power—and her emergence from that fog is both a cautionary tale and a powerful reclamation of sovereignty.

What do you do when the mentor you trusted becomes the monster you never saw coming?

Today we have Elizabeth Purvis on the show. Elizabeth thought she had found her match: a magnetic spiritual leader with a bold vision, unshakeable confidence, and a promise to unlock the deepest realms of transformation and magic. But behind the veil of light and leadership, something darker simmered.

In this gripping episode, Elizabeth recounts her long and complex relationship with Betty, tracing it from fascination to disillusionment—and ultimately, reclamation.

Drawn in by Betty’s charisma and promise of elevated consciousness, spiritual mastery, and access to powerful circles, Elizabeth entered with eyes wide open. What she didn’t expect was how quickly admiration would blur into confusion, betrayal, and manipulation.

We follow Elizabeth’s path through cognitive dissonance, spiritual gaslighting, and professional entanglement—including being hired by Betty herself. As the cracks widened, Elizabeth faced the truth: this wasn’t a sacred mentorship. It was a trauma-fueled hierarchy, propped up by smoke, mirrors, and energetic puppeteering.

But this isn’t a story of defeat—it’s a story of discernment and power reclaimed. With brutal honesty, Elizabeth shares how she finally broke the spell, buried the illusion, and spoke the words that needed to be said.

How deep does the rabbit hole go when seeking spiritual guidance? What happens when the mentor you trusted becomes the source of terrifying manipulation?

In a pivotal episode of the Bewitched series, therapist Audrey Hilliker shares her harrowing journey into the inner circle of Betty. Expecting growth and Akashic Records training, Audrey instead found herself trapped in a high-control environment marked by public shaming, gaslighting, and escalating demands.

Audrey recounts the chilling climax during the retreat in Croatia, descending into a nightmare of intense paranoia, induced deprivation, and absolute control. Suspicions of being drugged surface as reality itself seems to warp. How did a respected professional begin questioning her own sanity, even her closest relationships?

You will not believe what Audrey's husband discovered about Betty and her true identity. It's an international complex situation which will make your jaw drop and question if Betty was one of the Devil's own closest allies.

How do patterns of manipulation take root and hold sway, even within seemingly spiritual and empowering mentorships?

In this eighth episode of the Bewitched series, we welcome Louisa Havers, a long-time associate and former teacher within Betty's Akashic Records community. Louisa offers a unique and deeply insightful perspective on the evolution of her relationship with Betty, revealing the subtle and not-so-subtle ways in which patterns of manipulation emerged and the ultimate impact on her and others .

Louisa shares what initially drew her to Betty – a strong intuitive pull towards learning the Akashic Records. She recounts her early experiences, including a shocking and unfounded personal reading that, while not resonating with her, established Betty as someone with seemingly profound and unquestionable insight.

As Louisa's involvement deepened, she began to witness troubling patterns: Unethical behavior in group settings, the use of spiritual concepts to justify harsh and exclusionary actions, experiences of feeling compelled to engage in programs despite inner reservations, among others.

Louisa shares a significant shift in Betty's demeanor and focus around 2020, marked by an intense preoccupation with conspiracy theories and a paranoia that permeated her teachings.
