Ep.6 The River of Slime: Collective Stress, Recovery, and Staying Sober in a World on Edge

In this episode of the Sober Witch Life podcast, recorded on Imbolc, the host reflects on the intense collective emotional climate many people are feeling—marked by agitation, fear, division, and nervous system overload. Using the metaphor of the “river of slime” from Ghostbusters 2, she describes how negativity and anger feed on themselves, creating a pervasive energetic heaviness that sensitive people, empaths, witches, and those in recovery feel deeply, even without consuming news or social media.
