The Pink-Haired Sober Witch with Sunshine Witchski

This week on The Conscious Consultant Hour, Sam welcomes Sunshine Witchski, trailblazing psychic medium, soul healer, spiritual advisor, High Priestess, Reiki Master, author, and recovering alcoholic.

Widely known as the Pink-Haired Sober Witch, Sunshine lives at an unusual crossroads of worlds. By day, she is an award-winning software product manager and business operations expert who has helped major corporations reimagine process and foster innovation. By calling, she is a wisdom keeper for witches in recovery, bridging two communities that have long sat uneasily beside each other and showing that the practical and the magickal, the sober and the sovereign, were never truly separate paths.

Sunshine is the founder of The Sovereign Phoenix, a recognized religious nonprofit dedicated to creating protected spiritual space for witches in recovery, where members gather for weekly recovery circles, seasonal and moon rituals, and community events that nurture connection, healing, and personal sovereignty.

She is also the visionary behind Illuminate: The Unschool of Sober Witchcraft, an immersive learning platform that blends practical recovery tools with spiritual and magickal wisdom. Her book, Sober Witch Life: A Magickal Guide to Recovery, written over her first five years of sobriety, weaves journal prompts, exercises, and magickal practices into a healing guidebook for anyone walking both paths. On The Witchual Hour Radio Show on Passenger Recovery Radio and her own Sober Witch Life Podcast, she brings music, magick, and conversation together for those finding their way home. Living in the Detroit suburbs with her partner, his kids, and five beloved cats, she carries a line from Pema Chödrön as a quiet north star: only when we know our own darkness can we sit in the darkness with others.

Together, Sam and Sunshine explore what it looks like to reclaim your magick without reaching for the bottle and to build community that holds the recovery journey and the mystical path as one. They discuss the specific terrain of being a witch in recovery, the way shadow work and sobriety deepen each other when they are allowed to meet, and why the people most often cast to the margins (the witchy, the recovering, the queer, the misfit mystics) may be exactly the ones carrying the medicine this moment needs.

They also look at what it means to build a nonprofit sacred space in a culture that often forces people to choose between their spirituality and their healing, and what Sunshine’s own journey has taught her about sovereignty as a daily practice rather than a destination. This episode is an invite for anyone walking an unconventional spiritual road to recognize that your path is not too strange, your darkness is not too much, and your recovery, in whatever form it takes, is itself the most sacred magick you will ever cast.
