·38 min·2 clips

Sandra links the comfort zone to the ego and says it still acts like a Neanderthal survival system.

1. Rebel CEO Podcast w/ Breeanna Kay centers on Sandra Cooze and the “invisible glass ceiling” she links to trauma, confidence, and business growth. 2. Breeanna Kay hosts the interview, and Sandra Cooze is a certified trauma healer, intuitive mentor, coach, Reiki master, and published author. 3. The episode asks what blocks personal expansion when someone feels ready to evolve but keeps hitting fear, doubt, and shutdown. 4. Sandra says she grew up in Germany and experienced molestation at 12, harassment at 14, school bullying between 16 and 17, repeated assaults between 19 and 25, and rape at 22. 5. She describes a psychologist telling her, “I believe you already worked through it all,” and says that dismissal left her at rock bottom. 6. Sandra says she spent 20 years finding her own healing because she had no support system and believes that experience shaped her method. 7. She argues that therapists can only help clients heal to the level they have healed themselves, which is why she says coping and full release are different things. 8. Sandra says trauma work cannot follow a one-size-fits-all agenda because every person’s system and history are different. 9. Breeanna brings up the idea of layers in trauma, and Sandra agrees that people move through one stage and then meet another blockage. 10. Sandra describes grief as “trauma that comes from love,” and says people often block pain as a defense mechanism until they are ready to feel it. 11. She says Reiki can help release a trigger energetically even when a client does not know what the trigger was. 12. Sandra explains that the comfort zone is linked to the ego and says the ego still behaves like a Neanderthal survival system. 13. She uses her first interview as an example, saying she paced around her house and held crystals while thinking the whole world would laugh at her. 14. Sandra defines trauma as “not what happened” but how a person reacted, including limiting beliefs, self-sabotage, and protection patterns. 15. She uses an anchor-and-ship image to show how people circle their trauma until healing lifts the anchor little by little. 16. Sandra says some clients release trauma through nausea, throwing up, silence, or pain that moves from the abdomen to the chest, throat, and head. 17. The interview style is conversational and reflective, with Breeanna sharing her own introversion, public-speaking fear, and trauma-informed coaching experience. 18. Sandra’s tone is direct and practical, and she says several times that she does not sugarcoat what healing requires. 19. People working through trauma, public speaking fear, or business blocks would likely benefit from this episode. 20. Listeners wanting light entertainment or fast business tactics may skip it.
