    197: Invisible in Midlife? Not Anymore | Maureen Spielman

    Invisible woman syndrome is the belief that women fade from view as they age, and Maureen Spielman is witnessing the opposite. On episode 197 of Mystical Sisterhood®, Maureen explores women and visibility across every age and stage, from your 20s to your 70s. If you have ever felt unseen at work, in your family, or in your own body, you are not alone, and you are not stuck there. Women everywhere are speaking up, creating, healing, and refusing to shrink. This is not just a moment. It is a movement. Maureen Spielman is a Spiritual Life Coach trained in Spiritual Psychology and the host of Mystical Sisterhood®, where she has interviewed nearly 150 guests. In this solo episode, she shares four ways women are becoming more visible right now: vocal visibility, creative visibility, emotional and internal visibility, and visibility in aging. You will hear why Julia Louis-Dreyfus's podcast Wiser Than Me struck a chord with so many listeners, why self-care is no longer seen as selfish, and what Maureen means by embodied sisterhood. She also reflects on her mother's story and the healing tools her generation never had. You are visible. You are bright. There is room for all of us. What you’ll learn in this episode: Invisible woman syndrome, and why Maureen Spielman sees women stepping forward instead of shrinking, whether you are in your 20s, your later 50s, or well beyond.Vocal visibility, including how women are using their voices on podcasts, in their relationships, and through writing on platforms like Substack to say what they truly want.Creative visibility, and why claiming authorship of your own body of work, from a product to a women's group to a podcast, is a powerful way to be seen.Emotional and internal visibility, and how inner child work, reparenting, and understanding your nervous system help you release old roles like the people pleaser and the over-giver.Visibility in aging, and why women in their 50s, 60s, and 70s are moving past invisible woman syndrome by rejecting the cultural push to fade, without trying to act younger.Embodied sisterhood, Maureen's name for women showing up for one another in supportive and loving ways, and the simple action you can take today to practice it. We talk about: 00:00 Why women are more visible than ever 02:36 What is embodied sisterhood 05:05 The Invisibility of Older Women article that sparked this episode 08:47 Showing up in a story you never expected 09:32 Is invisible woman syndrome only about aging 11:13 Vocal visibility on podcasts, in relationships, and on Substack 12:52 Creative visibility and owning your body of work 14:05 Emotional visibility and doing the deeper inner work 16:55 Visibility in aging and resisting the cultural push to fade 18:40 What my mother's story taught me about healing 21:42 How do you feel seen after imposter syndrome and self-doubt 24:12 Embodied sisterhood and telling a woman what you see in her Resources mentioned in this episode: One-on-One Coaching: Schedule a Discovery Call HereMystical Sisterhood® Resource Guide: https://www.maureenspielman.com/freebies About the Host: Maureen Spielman is the Founder of Mystical Sisterhood®, a podcast dedicated to bringing more joy, healing and expansion of consciousness to the world.

    196: Mystical Sisterhood Roundtable: A Discussion of Spirituality, Collaboration, and Trust | REPLAY

    In this episode of the Mystical Sisterhood podcast, Alicia Isaacs Howes, Valerie Wood, and Heather Hansen join me to explore the intricacies of spirituality, healing, and trust. We get into the fascinating world of human and mystic recollections, and discuss our journeys toward enlightenment. Several topics are discussed during the roundtable discussion, from the importance of discerning truth from fiction to navigating our past and future spiritual lives. We delve into the importance of collaboration instead of competition and the roles they each play in the collective spiritual ascension. The guests collectively affirm the importance of utilizing curiosity as a medium to navigate complicated feelings. Duality, wonder, and faith become recurring themes. It's a conversation that guards the mystery of the divine and nourishes listeners with the wonders of spirituality. The guests share a common belief - the importance of self-discovery and faith. Valerie emphasizes the power of transformation, aligning our desires with the greater good and involving others in our growth process. Likewise, Heather asserts that the conception of mystic lies in incorporating the Divine into our everyday lives, thus realizing oneself as a channel or conduit for the divine connection. As our unique lives intertwine in this collective consciousness, the roundtable participants conclude that we must hold both our individual experiences and our shared societal ones. This paradox of existence is what allows us to resonate with the concept of ‘mystical sisterhood,’ an acknowledgment of both the collective and the individual's power. We offer a simple yet profound take-home: the power in your authenticity and in standing firm amidst societal norms. It encourages listeners to embrace the discomfort of growth, believing that the process, no matter how grueling, is liberating. We help you embrace and understand the realms of spirituality, healing, and trust, teaching us that we are all interlaced together, threading our unique stories of spiritual explorations, and knitting ourselves into a tapestry of mystical sisterhood. We talk about: 0:00 Intro 0:45 Introducing the Mystics: Stories of Healing and Magic 2:44 Exploring the Mystical: Definitions and Personal Journeys 7:25 Embracing the Unknown: The Power of Curiosity and Faith 14:05 The Collective Energy: Why Now is the Time for Unity 17:24 The Shift Towards Collaboration and Support 24:56 Discernment and Authority: Navigating Personal and Collective Growth 31:13 Exploring Ancestral Healing and Its Ripple Effects 33:27 The Impact of Healing Across Time and Generations 40:18 Embracing Our Power and Overcoming Fear 42:50 Finding Safety and Trust in New Beginnings 52:43 The Journey of Self-Discovery and Trust 1:03:24 Closing Thoughts: Embracing Joy and Collective Peace Resources mentioned in this episode: One-on-One Coaching: Schedule a Discovery Call HereMystical Sisterhood® Resource Guide: https://www.maureenspielman.com/freebies About the Host: Maureen Spielman is the Founder of Mystical Sisterhood®, a podcast dedicated to bringing more joy, healing and expansion of consciousness to the world.

    195: Reclaiming Creativity in Midlife: It’s Never Too Late to Begin Again | Maureen Spielman

    What if you are far more creative than you have ever allowed yourself to believe? In this solo episode of Mystical Sisterhood®, Maureen Spielman explores how childhood experiences, comparison, family roles, school environments, and early criticism can shape the stories we carry about our creativity. When we are told, directly or indirectly, that we are not artistic, talented, intelligent, or imaginative, those labels can quietly follow us into adulthood. But those old beliefs do not have to write the rest of our story. Maureen shares her experience of joining a watercolor class in her late 50s after spending much of her life believing she was not an artist. From confronting her inner critic to displaying her work beside more experienced painters, the class became a living experiment in self-acceptance, creative courage, and allowing something to be valuable simply because it came from her. She also reflects on the artistic legacy of her father, who began painting around age 70, and the deeper meaning of using the art supplies he left behind. His willingness to keep exploring, creating, and beginning again became a reminder that creativity has no expiration date. This conversation invites you to question the identities you inherited, recognize the many ways creativity already moves through your life, and follow the interests calling you forward. Whether your expression takes the form of painting, cooking, movement, conversation, entrepreneurship, relationships, or something entirely your own, it matters. You do not need to be the best in the room. You only need to give yourself permission to enter it. What you’ll learn in this episode: How childhood conditioning can shape your creative identityWhy believing “I’m not creative” may be an inherited story rather than the truthHow comparison and criticism create lasting artistic woundsWhy creativity includes far more than traditional art formsHow midlife can become a season of reclamation, reinvention, and rebirthWhat Maureen discovered after joining her first watercolor classHow creative spaces can help you notice and transform your inner criticWhy self-acceptance changes the experience of trying something unfamiliarWhat Maureen learned from her father beginning to paint around age 70How hands-on creativity can help us reconnect beyond phones and technologyWhy making your own rules creates room for authentic self-expressionHow intuition can guide you toward the next version of yourself We talk about: 00:00 Are you more creative than you believe? 01:24 Reclaiming creativity and identity in midlife 02:29 Looking beyond the stories of your past 03:44 Rediscovering your innate creativity, intelligence, and intuition 05:10 Why we are craving creativity beyond our screens 06:33 Maureen’s decision to begin watercolor painting 07:08 How comparison can create artistic wounds 09:08 The college creation that reinforced “I’m not an artist” 11:15 Questioning the identities and labels we inherited 12:44 Beginning again and creating at any age 13:31 Honouring her father through his art supplies 15:00 Entering the watercolor classroom with a new mindset 16:03 Responding differently to the inner critic 17:02 Learning to receive feedback without abandoning yourself 18:34 Why being a beginner can rewrite your story 20:00 Creating a life you love through daily expression 21:01 Questions to awaken your creativity and intuition 22:18 Making your own rules and colouring outside the lines Resources mentioned in this episode: One-on-One Coaching: Schedule a Discovery Call HereMystical Sisterhood® Resource Guide: https://www.maureenspielman.com/freebies About the Host: Maureen Spielman is the Founder of Mystical Sisterhood®, a podcast dedicated to bringing more joy, healing and expansion of consciousness to the world.

    194: When Hair Becomes Ceremony: Jade Atia on Beauty, Energy, and Awakening

    What if getting your hair done could support something deeper than changing how you look? In this episode of Mystical Sisterhood®, Maureen Spielman welcomes visionary hair artist Jade Atia to explore holistic hairdressing, ceremonial haircuts, kundalini activation, and the connection between beauty, energy, and consciousness. After more than 26 years in the hair industry, Jade began transforming the traditional salon experience into a sacred, intentional space. Through Crown Alchemy and Shekinah Temple, she integrates natural hair care, crystal comb rituals, tuning forks, vibroacoustic sound therapy, intuitive consultations, and energetic practices designed to help clients slow down, reconnect with themselves, and honour meaningful transitions. Jade also shares the deeply personal journey behind her work. Following years of motherhood, business growth, relentless responsibility, and five renovations in two and a half years, her body finally asked her to stop. What initially felt like a breakdown became a breaking open, leading her toward nervous system support, somatic healing, spiritual awakening, and eventually, kundalini activation. This conversation is an invitation to move beyond rushing, trust the visions arriving through you, and allow your next chapter to unfold in its own divine timing. What you’ll learn in this episode: Why Jade believes beauty begins within rather than with outward appearanceHow burnout and a personal breakdown became an initiation into deeper healingWhat Jade experienced during her kundalini awakeningHow somatic practices and nervous system support helped her begin rebuildingWhat happens during a ceremonial haircut and crown activationHow crystal combs, tuning forks, touch, flowers, and sound frequencies can become part of a hair ritualWhy cutting your hair can symbolize release, transformation, and a new rite of passageHow hair colour may reflect the energy or qualities you are ready to embodyWhy hairstylists can become emotionally and energetically depleted by their workHow energetic boundaries may help stylists recognize what belongs to them We talk about: 00:00 Can a salon visit become a deeply healing experience? 03:36 Jade’s connection to nature, creativity, and the Divine Mother 06:14 Finding freedom and purpose through hairdressing 08:00 Creating a low-tox home salon while becoming a mother 11:59 The vision for bringing hair, beauty, and wellness together 17:02 The workload that led to Jade’s breakdown and initiation 25:07 Recalibrating her nervous system after burnout 28:04 The spiritual opening that became a kundalini awakening 32:50 Bringing ritual, sound, and energy work into hair services 34:32 How a ceremonial haircut honours transformation 36:30 Why salon appointments can become intentional self-care 39:26 The energetic meaning Jade associates with hair colour 41:17 Understanding higher heart consciousness 43:49 Why hairstylists need energetic awareness and boundaries 47:24 Trusting your vision and allowing divine timing to lead Resources mentioned in this episode: One-on-One Coaching: Schedule a Discovery Call HereMystical Sisterhood® Resource Guide: https://www.maureenspielman.com/freebies About the Host: Maureen Spielman is the Founder of Mystical Sisterhood®, a podcast dedicated to bringing more joy, healing and expansion of consciousness to the world.

    193: She Who Breaks the Pattern: Healing Self and Ancestral Lineage with Sand Symes | REPLAY

    In this episode of the Mystical Sisterhood® podcast, we hear the profound insights of Sand Symes, a trauma expert and executive mentor. Sand is renowned as the founder of the global Ancestral Breathwork Journeys™ and the creator of The Pivot™, a neuroscience-rooted methodology designed to help high-performing women lead from regulation rather than reactivity. With over 40 years of experience, Sand has helped thousands reclaim their ancestral power and heal trauma through somatics, ritual, and trauma science. A central theme in the podcast was the concept of separation – from oneself, from others, and from nature. Sand explained how historical and cultural shifts have led to a loss of connection, particularly among women, who have often been conditioned to not trust or support each other. This disconnection is rooted in patterns passed down through generations, but it is within our power to begin healing these divisions. Sand emphasized the power of breathwork as a tool for healing and reconnecting with our ancestral roots. Through methodical breathing practices, individuals can release somatic tension stored in the body and access deeper layers of consciousness. Sand's breathwork sessions, held monthly and open to all, provide a community space where women can explore these practices safely and intentionally. As consciousness rises, we have the unique opportunity to break free from generational cycles of trauma and embrace a future of healing and resilience. By doing this work for ourselves, we inadvertently pave the way for future generations, transforming the narratives that have bound us in the past.

    192: How to Embrace Aging and Trust the Wisdom You’ve Gained | Maureen Spielman

    What if aging had less to do with how you look and everything to do with who you are becoming? In this solo episode of Mystical Sisterhood®, Maureen Spielman explores how to embrace aging by shifting the focus from outer appearance to inner wisdom. She examines the beauty standards and cultural messages many women absorb from a young age, including comments about weight, wrinkles, clothing, and “looking good for your age.” Maureen also reflects on the life experiences that have shaped her own wisdom, from raising children and navigating breast cancer to losing both of her parents. She invites you to consider what your most challenging chapters have taught you, which patterns you are ready to release, and how you want to define aging on your own terms. This episode is a compassionate invitation to celebrate how you have grown, honour the experiences written across your life, and give your inner wisdom the weight it deserves. What you’ll learn in this episode: How to embrace aging without measuring your worth by your appearanceWhy seemingly positive comments about looking young can carry deeper messagesHow beauty standards influence the way women experience agingWhy awareness helps you separate your truth from cultural conditioningHow difficult life experiences can become sources of wisdomWhat Maureen learned through motherhood, breast cancer, and losing her parentsHow to recognize the difference between what you once valued and what matters nowWhy aging can become an ally instead of an enemyHow enlightening conversations support personal growth and connectionA simple reflection practice for appreciating who you are becoming We talk about: 00:00 What if aging is about who you are becoming? 01:17 The hidden message behind “Live your accomplishments, not your lines” 03:41 Why women want to be seen beyond their appearance 05:00 Measuring age through wisdom instead of wrinkles 06:11 How media and beauty standards shaped generations of women 10:28 The deeper human desire to be seen for who we truly are 11:07 When aging becomes an ally instead of an enemy 13:07 The experiences that awakened Maureen’s inner wisdom 15:27 What have your defining life experiences taught you? 18:42 Seeing your lines as evidence of a life fully felt 22:21 Creating your own recipe for wisdom and well-being 27:55 A simple practice for valuing who you are becoming Resources mentioned in this episode: One-on-One Coaching: Schedule a Discovery Call HereMystical Sisterhood® Resource Guide: https://www.maureenspielman.com/freebies About the Host: Maureen Spielman is the Founder of Mystical Sisterhood®, a podcast dedicated to bringing more joy, healing and expansion of consciousness to the world.

    190: Humanistic Astrology: Using Your Birth Chart to Understand Yourself | Lisa Hagenbuch, Alexander Mallon & Ryan Barrett

    What if your birth chart is not a prediction of your fate, but a map that helps you understand your consciousness, recognize your patterns, and make more intentional choices? In this episode of Mystical Sisterhood®, Maureen Spielman welcomes Humanistic astrologers Lisa Hagenbuch, Alexander Mallon, and Ryan Barrett, co-hosts of the Astrology Off the Charts podcast, for an expansive conversation about astrology, consciousness, self-discovery, and the planetary cycles shaping this moment in history. Together, they explain how humanistic astrology moves beyond generalized horoscopes and standalone predictions. Instead, it considers the consciousness of the individual and uses the birth chart as a starting point for a collaborative, deeply personal conversation. Lisa describes the birth chart as the closest thing you may ever receive to your own owner’s manual. It can illuminate your inherent nature, family patterns, generational influences, and the cultural expectations that may have pulled you away from who you truly are. Ryan explores the birth chart as the DNA of your consciousness, revealing instinctive responses and energetic tendencies without removing your free will. Your chart may describe the instrument you were given, but you still decide how to play the music. Alexander brings together astrology, astronomy, history, psychology, and spirituality to explain why astrology is less about planets making things happen and more about observing meaningful synchronicities between the sky, collective history, and human development. The group also explores Pluto in Aquarius, the Year of the Fire Horse, eclipses, lunar cycles, and the planetary configurations unfolding in 2026. Rather than treating these cycles as deadlines or guarantees, they invite you to approach them with patience, presence, and curiosity. Whether you have never seen your birth chart or have studied astrology for years, this conversation offers a grounded invitation to understand yourself more deeply, loosen the grip of inherited patterns, and trust that you are not behind. You are right on time. What you’ll learn in this episode: What humanistic astrology is and how it differs from predictive astrologyWhy your birth chart can function like an owner’s manual for your lifeWhat your chart may reveal about your identity, family, and generational patternsHow astrology supports self-awareness without removing free willWhat happens during a collaborative astrology consultationWhy Pluto in Aquarius represents a shift toward freedom and collective transformationHow to begin working with astrology through lunar cyclesWhat the major planetary configurations of 2026 may meanWhat to do if you do not know your exact birth timeWhy you do not need to rush your personal evolution We talk about: 00:00 Meet Lisa Hagenbuch, Alexander Mallon, and Ryan Barrett 03:00 Why humanistic astrology matters in 2026 07:16 Using astrology to understand yourself more deeply 16:00 Pluto in Aquarius and collective transformation 21:56 Why your birth chart is like an owner’s manual 23:30 The birth chart as the DNA of your consciousness 32:33 How to understand your chart without becoming overwhelmed 35:25 The major planetary configurations and eclipses of 2026 42:44 What happens during an astrology consultation 48:11 What to do if you do not know your birth time Resources mentioned in this episode: One-on-One Coaching: Schedule a Discovery Call HereMystical Sisterhood® Resource Guide: https://www.maureenspielman.com/freebies About the Host: Maureen Spielman is the Founder of Mystical Sisterhood®, a podcast dedicated to bringing more joy, healing and expansion of consciousness to the world.

About

Mystical Sisterhood® Podcast celebrates women bridging the mystical and human sides of our Earthly experience. Conversations on mystical practices, collective consciousness, new earth principles, intuition, spirituality, soul's mission, divine blueprint, and your creative nature are offered on a weekly basis. The podcast is hosted by Maureen Spielman, a Spiritual Life Coach, trained in Spiritual Psychology, Integrative Wellness, and Conscious Parenting. Maureen is deeply interested in topics related to experiencing life from a soul's perspective. Maureen boldly invites the questions we only feel safe enough to ask in the community of other curious women ready to shift the current paradigm and soar. These curated conversations marry what we think of as our mainstream lives with the mystical. Each episode infuses everyday women with the strength and clarity to rise above the self-limiting beliefs we have all heard on repeat in our heads so we can step into the limitless possibilities for shining and thriving in this lifetime. Through interviews with healers, intuitives, and other courageous women doing the work of developing our inner lives, Maureen explores how to leave the lack dance behind, reclaim our worthiness, honor our intuition, and let the light in so we can more clearly see the light in others (and ourselves). If you want to join this global movement of healers and seekers creating a new paradigm convened by an authentic woman who embodies the transformation practices she promotes, subscribe and listen to the Mystical Sisterhood podcast today.
