Have you ever stopped yourself from saying something — and didn't even know why? Have you ever felt like your power, your voice, your knowing was just... too much? Like you needed to shrink to be safe, to be loved, to be accepted?
What if that feeling didn't start with you?
In this episode, I'm sitting down with Annie McCarty, founder of Reclaiming Her Flame and Trifecta Alchemy practitioner with trauma-informed training in Kundalini, somatics, and lineage healing.
Annie breaks down the witch wound — what it actually is, where it comes from, and why so many women carry this ancient pattern of silence, self-shrinking, and distrust of other women without ever knowing it has a name. This isn't just a spiritual concept. It's backed by history, by epigenetics, and by the lived experience of nearly every woman who has ever been told she was too loud, too emotional, too powerful, or too much.
In this episode we explore:
What the witch wound is and the real historical events that created it
Why women struggle to use their voice — and why it goes so much deeper than confidence
How trauma is stored in the body and passed down through generations via our DNA
The connection between the witch wound and the sisterhood wound — why women pull away from other powerful women
Kundalini yoga and somatic practices as tools for releasing what's stored in the body
The sacral chakra, the womb space, and why most women carry so much unprocessed energy there
Why healing yourself is also healing your daughters — and breaking the cycle for good
