The Jen Marples Show for Midlife Women

Best Of: From Limitation to Liberation - Self-Healing and Empowerment for Women with Sand Symes

Jen Marples Episode 223

This Best Of replay features Sand Symes, the only medicine woman I've ever had on the show, and she's about to completely shift how you think about healing, triggers, and your own inner power. Sand's journey from seeing spirits as a child to becoming a modern shamanic practitioner is absolutely captivating, but what will blow your mind is her framework of "sun medicines" and "moon medicines" - and how understanding both can transform every relationship in your life, including the most important one with yourself.


If you've ever wondered why certain people trigger you, felt disconnected from your body, or struggled with that voice in your head that says you're not enough, Sand provides answers that will change everything. She shares practical tools you can use tonight (literally in your bed) plus powerful breathing techniques. This conversation goes deep into ancestral healing, finding your true gifts, and why the wisdom you've gained through all your "mistakes" is actually your greatest superpower.


Key Takeaways: 

• The mirror principle: Why the people who trigger you most are showing you exactly what you need to heal (and it's not what you think) 

• Sun and moon medicines: How to identify your true gifts versus the qualities others told you to have - and why your "negative" traits are actually medicine too 

• The ancestral connection: How patterns from generations past are still running your life and what you can do about it 

• The power of embodied practices: Simple techniques to reconnect with your body and calm your nervous system when life feels overwhelming 

• Midnight medicine: A bedtime practice that will transform how you talk to yourself and heal your inner child

Sand Says: You’re Not Too F***ing Old! To live the best f***ing years of my life!
