Damsel Detox: Awakening the Hero Within
Damsel Detox: Awakening the Hero Within
Podcast Description
Once upon a time, you were handed a story.
A story that told you to wait, to shrink, to hope someone else would save you.
But the stories you were given were never the whole truth.
There’s a wild, waiting hero inside you — and it’s time to wake them up.
Damsel Detox is a podcast for seekers, story-lovers, and soul-listeners ready to reclaim their narrative.
Hosted by Spring Sage (hypnotherapist and subconscious guide) and Elissa Schwarz (shamanic practitioner), each month we explore a new story through these lenses:
✨ Subconscious patterning
✨ Archetypal and mythic meaning
✨ Shamanic wisdom
These aren’t just fairytales. They’re maps — back to the parts of you that were never broken, only buried.
This isn’t about fixing yourself.
It’s about remembering who you’ve always been —
and awakening the part of you that never needed saving.
Welcome to Damsel Detox: Awakening the Hero Within.
The story you were born for is about to unfold.
Spring Sage is a certified hypnotherapist and coach. Elissa Schwarz is a shamanic practitioner and coach. The tools shared are designed for personal insight and self-discovery — not medical or psychological treatment.
Podcast Insights
Content Themes
The podcast focuses on themes of personal transformation, archetypal stories, and self-awareness through episodes that include explorations of Snow White's tale, emotional manipulation, and workplace dynamics, such as in episodes like 'Damsels, Resumés & Real Talk' and 'Poisoned Gifts: The Sweet Lies That Keep Us Stuck', offering listeners tools for self-discovery and empowerment.
Once upon a time, you were handed a script.
Be nice. Be chosen. Be quiet. Be saved.
But deep down, you’ve always known: you were meant for more.
More truth. More depth. More freedom.
Damsel Detox is a podcast for those who are tired of shrinking to fit a story that was never theirs—
and are ready to reclaim their power, rewrite the narrative, and live from the inside out.
Every 7 weeks, we explore a well-known fairytale through a transformational lens—
unpacking the metaphors, subconscious patterns, and emotional truths hidden in the stories we’ve been living.
These aren’t just conversations.
They’re invitations to remember who you are—
and choose who you’re becoming.
If you’ve ever felt like you were too much, not enough, or trapped in a life that doesn’t feel like your own—this space was made for you.
Season 2 begins June 24 with Beauty & the Beast—a journey through identity, self-rescue, and the boundaries that set you free.
