When The Universe Locks You In A Sauna with Ana Victoria Cibrián

Send us Fan MailAbandoned in a hospital bed after a hysterectomy, Ana Victoria Cibrián hits a breaking point that forces one question: am I going to keep surviving, or am I finally going to live?Ana Victoria grew up as the eldest of three siblings in a Spanish household marked by daily violence and abuse. By 21 she'd lost her father, and stepped into a caretaking role for her mother and younger brother far earlier than most people ever have to — long before she'd had the chance to process her own trauma. That survival pattern followed her into an eight-and-a-half-year relationship with a narcissistic partner, one that ended when he left her for another woman while she was recovering in the hospital.We talk candidly about the grief that can follow a hysterectomy — identity, body image, and the quiet fear of being "less" afterward. I share my own story of sexual assault, cervical cancer, and how unprocessed pain can show up in the body over time. From Reiki and emotional healing to learning how to feel without getting overwhelmed, we explore what it takes to reconnect with yourself when your nervous system has been in fight-or-flight for years.Ana also brings a fresh lens through transpersonal psychology and astrology, including Chiron, the wounded healer, to help make sense of how suffering can become service without minimizing what happened. We dig into emotional armor, boundaries, communication that feels safe, and why conscious relationships require both inner work and real relationship skills. If you're healing from trauma, recovering from narcissistic abuse, or trying to build emotional safety and intimacy, this conversation offers language and tools you can start using right now.If this resonates, subscribe, share the episode with someone who needs it, and leave a review so more people can find these stories of healing and resilience.Connect with Ana Victoria Cibrián: 🌐 Website: https://anacibrian.wordpress.com 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/anavcibrian 📸 Astrology & Relationships Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astrologiaparaelcambio ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AstrologiaVincularyRelaciones📖 NEW BOOK: Against All Odds: The Less Than 1% Chance I wasn't supposed to survive.
