Welcome to Soulful Practices Podcast!
In this episode of the Soulful Practices Podcast, Michelle Holling-Brooks explores one of the most hidden yet powerful blocks to authentic connection, a protective pattern she calls “messy” self-auditing or editing.
Drawing on the work of author and international speaker Africa Brooke, who defines self-censorship as “…when you silence your own voice and hold back thoughts, feelings, or knowledge out of fear, doubt, or the desire to fit in,” Michelle unpacks how this habit can quietly drain our creative energy and keep us from showing up fully in our lives.
In this episode, Michelle shares:
How messy self-auditing is born out of trauma and survival responses
This week’s Soulful Practice invites you to:
Notice when you’re caught in messy self-auditing and call on Reiki energy to guide your awareness
Welcome the Parts of yourself you’re trying to control into a sacred dialogue with the Sacred Witness within
Invite the Medicine of Forgiveness to free you from past and present disconnection from your heart and soul
Allow yourself to share unedited thoughts and emotions to release old wounds and open to new choice points, supported by the Medicine of Courage
🎧 Listen now and begin reconnecting with your real, unedited truths.
