In Part 2 of our Halloween series, we move from broomsticks to boardrooms — exploring how the witch trials never truly ended. Kristin and Laura dive into how the image of the witch morphed into modern misogyny, media tropes, and political smear campaigns.

From Sabrina the Teenage Witch to Hillary Clinton, we unpack:

• How "witch" became a slur for powerful women

• Why women still fear being seen

• The cultural obsession with female purity, professionalism, and performance

• How capitalism co-opted the witch for wellness trends

• Personal stories of unmasking, self-censorship, and “too much-ness”

It’s a call to embrace your inner chaos, reject the rulebook, and ask: what if they were scared of us… for good reason?
