Hey Soul Fam,
Thank you for being here again, joining us on this journey. In today's episode it's just Jamie and myself and we get into it. We just started a few weeks ago inclining our bed as there are a plethora of health benefits in doing that! So we chat about that! Here is a link to what inclined bed therapy is and how it helps:

We also chat about healing and I (Brittany) go into some details about how I healed from some childhood trauma of being sexually abused. It took me years to acknowledge the abuse and I even blocked it out for a very long time until I was confronted about it by a teacher in high school. Sexual abuse happens to 1 in 10 children by the time they are 18 and 60% of the victims NEVER TELL ANYONE. That was going to be me too, I was going to take this information to the grave with me. I didn't want to burden anyone or upset the apple cart, so I stayed silent, until I could no longer stay silent anymore. It was literally eating me alive and making me sick. I believe I was brought here to break cycles and I was definitely brought here to stand up to injustices. What more is unjust than harming a child and taking their innocence away? Not much, I don't think. What I am really noticing right now is that if we are not truthful with ourselves about and our life and how we heal our past trauma, we can not be truthful with what is happening in our outer world either. What is happening on a grand scale with this whole pandemic and what our government bodies are doing is very similar to what an abuser does to their victims, we talk about that in this episode too.
My hope for this episode is for other victims of abuse is to start talking about it. Talking about it really cathartic, even if you just talk to yourself while you're driving in your car alone, then talk to a friend, or call a counsellor. You are not alone and what happened to you was real. I always think about healing and how it's not only for me, but for my children and the generations to come.
I don't want to give too much more away so I will leave at this. I hope you enjoy the podcast and we really hope you go inward and ask yourself the question, what do I need to heal? Face your feelings and invite the uncomfortableness as the only way out is through.
