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.
