When the Work Doesn’t Work: The Missing Piece in Healing

Nancy Gutierrez Season 2 Episode 28

Ever notice how certain patterns just keep following you around — the same relationship dynamics, the same anxieties, the same emotional loops — no matter how much healing work you do?

That might be because what you’re carrying… isn’t actually yours.

In this week’s episode, I sit down with Sara Daves, a spiritual consultant, mystic, and founder of Sigma Femme Society, to explore family constellations — a healing modality that helps uncover and release ancestral imprints buried deep in our nervous system and lineage.

We talk about how trauma gets passed down through generations, how the body remembers what the mind forgets, and the fascinating science that explains it all — from mirror neurons to epigenetics.

It’s one of those conversations that bridges the mystical with the practical — equal parts science, story, and soul — and it might just change the way you think about healing.

What You’ll Learn 

  • How ancestral patterns shape your emotions, relationships, and sense of safety
  • What actually happens in a family constellation session
  • Why mindset work and affirmations can’t reach inherited wounds
  • The science behind “the knowing field” (and how it connects us all)
  • Practical ways to release what isn’t yours to carry
