    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.

    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.

    189: How to Reprogram Your Subconscious and Manifest Without Burnout | Lynnsey Robinson

    Why does your subconscious mind keep repeating patterns you have consciously outgrown, and how can you begin teaching it that something new is safe? In this episode of Mystical Sisterhood®, Maureen Spielman is joined by spiritual hypnotherapist and intuitive guide Lynnsey Robinson for a conversation about subconscious blocks, manifestation burnout, energetic resonance, spiritual hypnotherapy, and becoming more fully yourself. Lynnsey explains that the subconscious mind often continues using beliefs and behaviours that protected you in the past. It does not automatically recognize when those patterns have expired. Through awareness and hypnotherapy, however, you can begin uncovering the beliefs operating beneath the surface and show your subconscious that new choices, possibilities, and ways of living are safe. Maureen and Lynnsey also explore why popular manifestation practices can become another exhausting list of things to do. Instead of forcing yourself to follow every ritual, affirmation, or spiritual technique, Lynnsey encourages you to notice which practices genuinely help you feel connected, creative, grounded, and alive. This expansive conversation is an invitation to stop watering yourself down, trust your energetic discernment, feel your emotions without spiritual bypassing, and remember that you have a say in what your subconscious believes. What you’ll learn in this episode: Why your subconscious repeats patterns that once helped you feel safeHow to begin reprogramming subconscious beliefs you have outgrownWhy manifestation practices can lead to spiritual burnoutHow to choose manifestation tools that work with your natural energyWhy forced affirmations may reinforce the beliefs you are trying to changeWhat spiritual hypnotherapy is and how it differs from clinical hypnotherapyWhat hypnosis feels like and whether everyone can enter a hypnotic stateHow past life regression and soul journey sessions workWhy energetic resonance can make someone feel instantly familiarHow authenticity helps you connect with the people meant for your messageWhy emotions must be felt rather than covered with toxic positivityHow giving a limiting belief a voice can reveal what it is trying to protectWhy childhood experiences can continue shaping adult beliefs and behavioursHow creativity, nature, intention, and spiritual practices can reconnect you with yourself We talk about: 00:00 Welcome to Mystical Sisterhood® 00:39 Meet spiritual hypnotherapist Lynnsey Robinson 03:35 Claiming your work, voice, and authentic identity 06:19 Trusting the unfolding of your path 07:29 Why some people feel instantly familiar 10:23 Energetic discernment and recognizing who gives you life 11:35 Becoming too uncomfortable to keep hiding your voice 15:15 Why manifestation practices can lead to burnout 20:04 Spirituality, emotions, and the limits of positive thinking 22:31 How spiritual hypnotherapy reaches subconscious beliefs 25:31 Past lives, Akashic records, and soul journey sessions 27:41 Can everyone enter a hypnotic state? 30:36 Dream work and tips for lucid dreaming 32:22 Reconnecting with your power through spirituality 33:09 Toxic positivity and the importance of feeling your feelings 34:43 Vulnerability, grace, and accepting that it is all okay 35:42 How childhood experiences shape subconscious beliefs 36:39 Exploring taboo spiritual subjects on Spiritual Kinks 38:33 Lynnsey’s closing message: You haven’t seen anything yet 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.

    188: Healthy Feminine Energy: 5 Ways to Return to Yourself | Maureen Spielman

    What does it mean to embody healthy feminine energy, and how can you recognize when old patterns are pulling you away from yourself? In this solo episode of Mystical Sisterhood®, Maureen Spielman explores five ways to cultivate the healthy feminine within yourself. This is not about reaching an idealized version of femininity. It is about returning to wholeness, self-respect, compassion, connection, and the inner wisdom that has always belonged to you. Maureen examines the internalized judgment, criticism, comparison, people pleasing, and self-abandonment that can quietly shape the way you relate to yourself and others. She also shares practical questions and small, intentional shifts that can help you interrupt those patterns without adding more shame to the process. You’ll learn why self-compassion can become a spiritual practice, how judgment toward others may reveal places within yourself that are asking to be healed, and why honoring your needs does not mean abandoning the people you love. If you have been questioning who you are beneath the expectations, roles, and conditioning you have carried, this episode offers a gentle roadmap back to yourself. What you’ll learn in this episode: What healthy feminine energy looks and feels like in everyday lifeHow to replace self-criticism with compassionWhy “should” can create shame, pressure, and comparisonWhat judgment toward other women may reveal about your relationship with yourselfHow people pleasing and weak boundaries lead to self-abandonmentWhy identifying and honoring your needs supports healthier relationshipsHow safe relationships and communities support spiritual growthWhy you are ultimately your own most trusted advisorHow small daily choices can restore your energy, sovereignty, and inner knowing We talk about: 00:00 What does it mean to operate from the healthy feminine? 01:14 Why Maureen began exploring healthy and unhealthy feminine patterns 03:27 Healthy feminine energy versus conditioned toxic patterns 05:36 Recognizing internalized judgment and self-criticism 07:23 Interrupting shame and transforming your inner dialogue 08:44 Practicing compassion in moments of self-judgment 09:40 Why self-compassion is also a spiritual practice 10:23 Examining how and why we judge other women 13:21 Unity consciousness and seeing others as reflections and teachers 14:11 Self-abandonment, people pleasing, and putting everyone else first 16:02 Asking “What do I need?” and changing relational dynamics 18:00 Finding support in relationships and spaces that feel safe 21:39 Why spiritual awakening was never meant to be a solo path 22:00 Trusting yourself as your own wisdom keeper 24:08 Reclaiming fragmented energy and returning to wholeness 25:38 The healthy feminine as a remembering, not a destination 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.

    186: Why Slowing Down Is the Secret to Living Fully | Maureen Spielman

    What if the biggest transformation available to you isn't about doing more, but becoming more present? In this solo midsummer episode of Mystical Sisterhood®, host Maureen Spielman explores the profound difference between living as a human doing versus embracing life as a human being. Through personal stories, historical perspective, and spiritual reflection, she explains how generations of conditioning have taught us to value productivity over presence, and why many people now feel called toward a slower, more intentional way of living. Rather than encouraging you to abandon responsibility, Maureen offers a practical invitation to experience ordinary moments with greater awareness. From washing dishes to morning routines and difficult conversations, she shares how presence rewires the nervous system, reveals authentic desires, and creates space for intuition, joy, and deeper connection. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or constantly busy without feeling fulfilled, this episode offers gentle, actionable practices to help you slow down, reconnect with yourself, and begin creating a life by conscious design. What you’ll learn in this episode: How modern culture conditioned us to become human "doings" instead of human beings.How slowing down helps regulate your nervous system and reconnect you with yourself.Why presence is an active spiritual practice rather than passive stillness.How being fully present transforms ordinary daily activities into meaningful experiences.The hidden emotional patterns that constant busyness often masks, including people pleasing, avoidance, and unconscious living.Why your body, not your mind, is where authentic wisdom and intuition are found.How practicing intentional presence can reveal your true values and deepest desires.Three simple daily shifts that help you move from autopilot into conscious living.

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.
