Summary
Shantelle Malawski is a Canadian professional wrestler. She is signed with Impact Wrestling, where she performs under the ring name Taylor Wilde - otherwise known as “The People’s Witch.”
Taylor was under a World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) contract from 2006 to 2007. She then joined TNA in 2008 and would go on to become a one-time TNA Women's Knockout Champion and also went on to become the inaugural and two-time TNA Knockouts Tag Team Champion while also becoming the first wrestler to have held both titles.
After departing from TNA in December 2010, Malawski announced her retirement from professional wrestling and wrestled her final match in 2011. She then stepped away from wrestling for about a decade to become a professional firefighter. But the ring called her back, and she recently returned to wrestling with Impact Wrestling, unveiling her new, more authentic witch persona.
Taylor has a podcast and YouTube show called Wilde On, and in addition to seeing her perform for Impact Wrestling, you can find her on Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter.
On this episode, Taylor discusses how she embodies the witch both in and out of the ring, how witchcraft supports her role as a firefighter, and the ways that wrestling balances her feminine and masculine energies.
Pam also talks about getting weird for Aquarius season, and answers a listener question about a spiritually diverging friendship.
Our sponsors for this episode are Mithras Candle, BetterHelp, The Pretty Cult, and Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab
We also have brand new print-on-demand merch like Witch Wave shirts, sweatshirts, totes, stickers, and mugs available now here.
