Ep 133 - How to become the cycle breaker: womb and ancestral healing in the body
WITH sara fakih
On the Secret Witch Show today our guest is Sara Fakih. Sara’s work is an invitation to remember - to come home to the body, to emotion as power, and to the truth that lives beneath survival and self-sabotage. Through trauma-informed somatic practices, body–mind maturation coaching, and movement rooted in yoga and dance, she guides women into deeper embodiment, emotional freedom, and nervous system repair. A freedom explorer and rule-breaker at heart, Sara weaves ancient wisdom with modern somatic intelligence - empowering women to reclaim their voice, purpose, and wild feminine essence through womb reconnection, ancestral healing, and embodied remembrance.
In this episode, we explore what it truly means to become the ‘cycle breaker’ - via an embodied, initiatory portal into the womb and ancestral lineage. Sara shares how inherited trauma lives in the womb, and how ancestral wounds are carried through the feminine lineage as silence, suppression and fear of power - and how womb healing becomes a somatic portal for discerning what was passed down. We speak about the role of rage and pleasure in healing lineage wounds - and the importance of using our voice and reclaiming our body’s natural cycle to stop numbing and reclaim our true feminine power. This is a grounded, mature exploration of reclaiming the womb as the place where inherited pain becomes embodied wisdom, and the trauma stops with you.
What You’ll Learn from this Episode:
You already know if you’re a cycle breaker - it’s an inner rebellion, an embodied knowing that you’re here to create change, even if you don’t know how
The body shows you the call - the throat closes, you shake, you want to shut down or dissociate - that somatic charge is a portal
When you drop into the womb, there’s deep remembrance - and moments of realising “this is not just mine.” You are feeling the whole maternal line
Feminine power is being anchored and grounded in truth - not forcing, dominating, or controlling, but knowing yourself so deeply nothing can shake you
Your bleed is a portal. What comes up during your cycle - rage, resignation, ideas, truth - is not ‘just PMT’ - it’s information from the body
Healing is integration - daily conscious awareness. Turning toward what triggers us and staying with it until the old energetic charge no longer has us.
