The Sister Wound: Healing the Silent Rivalry and Reclaiming Our Sacred Sisterhood

The Sister Wound.
It’s the ache you feel when you’re told that other women are competition.
It’s the silent rivalry you didn’t ask for but inherited.
It’s the distrust, the comparison, the collective programming that says,
“She’s your enemy. She’s your mirror. She’s your threat.”

But here’s the truth we’re remembering:
Sisterhood was never meant to be a battlefield.
It was meant to be a sanctuary.

What is the Sister Wound?

The Sister Wound is the residue of a patriarchal culture that profits off our division.
It’s the ancestral echo of women taught to fight for scraps—
of mothers who didn’t trust their sisters,
of grandmothers who swallowed their power to be “the good one,”
of generations told that if one woman rises, another must fall.

The Sister Wound isn’t just about literal sisters.
It’s about every woman who ever learned to see another woman as a rival instead of a refuge.

How the Sister Wound Shows Up

• Comparing yourself to other women, even when you don’t want to.

• Feeling small or threatened in the presence of another woman’s power.

• Sabotaging sisterhood because trust feels dangerous.

• Carrying shame for being “too much” or “not enough” in the eyes of other women.

• Believing there’s only one seat at the table for women who dare to take up space.

The Sister Wound isn’t your fault— but healing it?
That’s your reclamation.

Sisterhood as Sacred Medicine

When you choose to heal the Sister Wound, you’re not just rewriting your story—
you’re rewriting an entire lineage of women who were taught to keep their voices down, their jealousy quiet, and their magic contained.

You’re choosing to stand in the circle instead of fighting for a throne that was never real.

Healing the Sister Wound Looks Like…

• Honoring the ways you’ve internalized competition—and forgiving yourself.

• Seeing another woman’s beauty, power, or success as an invitation, not a threat.

• Rooting for her. Celebrating her.

• Being honest about your own wounds, and holding space for hers without judgment.

• Remembering that when one woman rises, she opens the door for the rest of us.

We’re Not Each Other’s Threat—We’re Each Other’s Home

It’s not about erasing your shadows— it’s about seeing them in each other,
and saying,“I see you. I hold you. Let’s heal this sht together.”*

The Sister Wound dissolves when we reclaim our birthright to connection—
when we remember that the sister you’re jealous of is also the sister who could help you remember who you are.

CQC Healing Spell:
I release the lie that says her power takes from mine.
I choose trust over comparison, compassion over competition.
I am not here to dim her light—I am here to rise with her.
