It's Okay to Cry with Bronte Spicer

What happens when we accept all aspects of us? Feel into all experiences, sensations and stop trying to fit ourselves into an unrealistic portrayal that is put before us? Sere Roe joins Bronte on the Podcast for a deep dive into a powerful, moving and beautiful conversation about:

• experiencing suffering in order to move trauma through the body
• staying with body sensations and being with thoughts from a place of compassion and acceptance
• when we are told what to do rather than being asked to actually be someone.
• challenging the law of attraction and allowing things to flow in several different ways.

Plus so many moments of connection, inspiration and motivation in sharing experiences and stories together within this conversation.

This episode is an extract from the Sunshine on Toast radio show with Melanie Wrest.

In this conversation Bronte is talking about her new book, It’s Okay to Cry.

Bronte touches on:

· Processing and dissolving horrible thoughts and learning how to feel safe with the physical sensations that came with depression.

· What happens when you don’t resist thoughts, instead befriending, fading and allowing them to lose their power, leaving you with the sensations in the body.

· Bronte’s journey to becoming a Certified Kiloby Inquiries Facilitator.

· Working with both body and mind, instead of trying to positive affirmation ourselves into being ‘better’.

And much more.

Bronte is joined with Bree Amber, a psychic medium, in this episode of It's Okay to Cry. Bree has experienced her fair share of ups and downs over  the years, including depression, anxiety and several complete mental breakdowns.

Join Bronte and Bree as they discuss:

• The slippery slope of reality of when it feels like groundhog day, having no joy and going through the motions every single day.
• How even the sound of just 10 minutes, can feel crazy and completely unachievable.
• Depression from suppressed feelings, people pleasing.
• Changing the narrative after hearing it was not okay to cry, with the response negative and unaccepting.

Bree is down to earth and captures a delightful presence which is real, raw and honest about what life can throw at you in all sorts of directions. The conversation is diverse, engaging and provides real insight into how you can start small in order to notice big differences.

This is the It’s Okay to Cry Podcast with Bronte Spicer; and today is Season One, Episode Six with Amanda Goodfellow. We all have stories we believe to be true about ourselves and the world, and even through continuous work, there is often still resistance to feeling like it’s okay to cry. Once we come closer to processing our own acceptance – there is true beauty and value in crying, while not always easy, let’s begin the discussion towards healing.

In this episode we share:

· Feeling unworthy after losing the structure and security in having other people telling you what to do.

· Functioning to survive in a society that makes you feel like there’s something wrong with you.

· Letting the tears flow.

· The physical sensations of how it feels to cry and deep pleasure that can be sought from the process of crying.

Matt has had a long personal history of addiction and trauma, his lived experience takes him far beyond any education he has had. He now abides primarily in the present moment, and  holds the space for others during session in order to bring freedom from the minds narratives.
