Once upon a time, you were told to smile pretty, sit still, and wait for a rescue that was always conveniently delayed.
Maybe your prince or princess got lost.
Maybe the dragon overslept.
Maybe — just maybe — you were never meant to be rescued at all.
Because you were never meant to be saved.
Welcome to Damsel Detox — where the old stories end, and your real story begins.
The damsel in distress isn’t just a character trapped in a tower. It’s an archetypal energy — a deep, hidden story many of us carry without even realizing it.
The Damsel shows up when you feel powerless to change your life without someone else rescuing you.
When you wait for permission.
When you shrink yourself to survive in a world that taught you to be small.
But the Damsel isn’t your truth.
It’s just where your awakening begins.
At Damsel Detox, we explore the origin of these patterns through the raw, original fairytales — and their bold modern retellings — using the lenses of subconscious wisdom and shamanic insight.
We decode the ancient symbols tucked inside the stories.
We awaken the parts of you that already know how to rise.
And here’s the best part: You don’t have to rise alone.
Damsel Detox is the group quest within the enchanted realm of Saging the Mind — a gathering place for heroes-in-the-making to rise side-by-side.
Whichever path you choose, all lead to the same truth:
You hold the key to your story.
You always have.
Choose Your Path
Awaken the forgotten symbols hidden within the tales you thought you knew.
Each month on the Damsel Detox Podcast, we dive into a powerful new fairytale — exploring the raw origins and bold modern retellings through the lenses of subconscious work and shamanic wisdom.
Hosted by Spring Sage, hypnotherapist, and Elissa Schwarz, shamanic practitioner, every episode invites you to see beyond the surface — to rediscover the myths that shaped you, decode the symbols hidden within them, and reclaim the power they left behind.
Alongside Spring and Elissa, you'll hear from guest speakers— a mix of healers, transformational guides, and practical experts — offering fresh perspectives and opportunities to deepen your journey.
The tales you grew up with were only the beginning. The real magic is what you’ll discover next.
Listen in. Awaken within.
Each month, we follow the same fairytale theme explored on the podcast—but here, the journey deepens.
Inside the Inner Kingdom, you’ll access:
Immersive live workshops
Subconscious reprogramming practices
Story-based guided meditations
Bonuses from podcast guest speakers
Creative soul-rooted integration
Private community space to connect, share, and rise together
This is where the story isn’t just understood—it’s lived.
🔐 The Vault holds the treasure of the past—full access to all previous workshops, meditations, and soul materials. It’s your personal archive of transformation.
👑 The Inner Kingdom includes everything in The Vault —plus live experiences, exclusive content, and a front-row seat to your own unfolding.
Some awakenings are too sacred to be rushed.
The Solo Quest is your private, 1:1 journey within the greater realm of Saging the Mind
— a place where the old fairytales fall away, and the true story of who you are begins to rise.
Through personalized subconscious work, Storybook Regression sessions, custom-crafted practices, and deep one-on-one mentorship, this is where you don’t just understand your patterns —
you transform them.
This is the quest for the one who knows it’s time.
The one who feels the stirring inside their chest.
The one who isn’t waiting for permission anymore.
Guided by a lantern lit just for you, The Solo Quest leads you through the labyrinth of old archetypes, untangles forgotten parts of your story, and places the crown back where it belongs —
in your own hands.
Because the true magic was never in the rescue.
It was always in your remembering.

from Snow White. I could write an essay
