How to listen to your body & reclaim your wild feminine power - the truth of somatic healing
Tue Jan 27 2026
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 really means to listen to your body - not as a surface-level somatic trend, but as a courageous descent into the truth that lives beneath survival, suppression and self-sabotage. Sara shares how the body holds our wild emotions, our ancestral memory, and the younger parts of us that learned to survive through shutdown, people-pleasing or rebellion. We speak about the paradox of wanting power and being terrified of it, how rage protects heartbreak, why numbness is a sensation worth honouring, and how our patterns of self-sabotage, procrastination and resignation are invitations into deeper liberation. This conversation is a raw, honest, embodied journey into creating internal safety, meeting your trauma with compassion, and reclaiming the wild feminine power that has always been yours.
What You'll Learn from this Episode:
Our deepest resignation and "I don't want to be here" moments are portals - the very places that reveal the gold we're here to reclaim
Somatic safety isn't found by chasing calm - it's created by turning toward the sensations we fear, the contractions, the shakes, the numbness
The survival mind isn't truth - it is inherited conditioning, ancestral memory, and old protection strategies that once saved us and now sabotage us
Wild feminine emotion - especially rage - is power: a sacred force that protects heartbreak, cuts through illusion, and awakens authentic boundaries
Suppression shows up in patterns: self-sabotage, procrastination, resentment, people-pleasing - each one is a doorway into deeper liberation
Coming home to the body is coming home to power - when we stop outsourcing safety and learn to be with what arises, we alchemise trauma into truth and return to our gold.
