Episode 197: Energy Vampires

Welcome back, Witches! This week we're diving into the topic of energy vampires—those people or situations that seem to drain your energy, mood, and spiritual bandwidth. We're talking about how to recognize when your energy is being pulled, what that can look like in magical and everyday contexts, and simple ways to protect yourself within your practice. From energetic boundaries to practical protection techniques, we're covering ways to keep your energy grounded and your magic intact. So get in, Loser, because this week we're learning how to guard our energy.
