It's such an honor to be here.
Hello, everyone tuning in tothis, Thank you.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
So happy to see you and hear you and I'm so happy to
share your voice with ourlistener today.
So a little bit about Brittany.
She is a somatic intimacy coachand wilderness witch, which is
awesome, and I wonder if you canjust tune us in.
Let our listener know where areyou joining us from today on
(01:12):
earth, at this moment?
Speaker 2 (01:13):
I am currently in Asheville, North Carolina, in
the beautiful Blue RidgeMountains.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Really magical place.
I have yet to come and enjoy it, though.
I really have loved myexperiences in North Carolina
and I'm excited to come backsoon.
It's a very from what I know,where you are is like really
high, powerful.
Just some amazing people whoare there.
Yeah, yeah, I love that.
I love that, so we're going todive right into it.
(01:43):
On season two of the show,we're talking all about our
internal muse, our inner genius,which is something that I
believe many of us or if not allof us are born with, and
obviously there's a lot you canread about different opinions
about it, and I really like tosee it almost as this how you
could say, a part of me, anotherentity that travels with me
(02:07):
throughout my entire life, and Ireally like to find different
ways to play with it and nurtureit.
And that's what I'm reallycurious about is talking with
other people about theirinternal muse and that thing
that spurs them on that creativespark.
And so I'm really curious foryou when you tune into this idea
(02:28):
of your inner muse.
It's also sometimes referred toas the inner daemon or daemon,
which I also like.
It's very mischievous.
What comes to mind for you whenyou first bring that into your
sphere?
What comes to mind?
Speaker 2 (02:46):
I just I feel like this nature, earth, goddess that
is alive and pulsating withcreativity and hunger for
expression and connection.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
I love that.
I love that.
So I'm curious for you when wasthe first moment, or was there
a series of moments in your lifewhere you first sort of came
into contact with this beingthis part of you?
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Yeah, I think it like .
One of the earlier memoriesthat I have is I had a
babysitter who didn't last verylong.
My mom fired her because ofwhat went down, but she told me
that Santa Claus wasn't real,and then she also told me that
(03:39):
witches were real.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Yeah, and she told me that she was a witch and her
and her friends would gather intheir attic and like candles and
do these things.
And she's like, and you're awitch too.
And I was like, oh my God, thisis amazing, like pulsating and
like I was so into like themystical stuff but didn't really
know that it was possible orthat it could be real.
(04:07):
And I was so drawn to like make.
I would be in the backyardmaking potions.
And I remember my mom took meto an amusement park when I
turned seven years old.
That was like my big birthdayparty.
I didn't want to go on therides, I just wanted to look at
all the polished crystals andthe rocks Like that's what I was
into, and like the plants andnature and like for me.
(04:28):
So, like hearing that, I wasjust like, oh, I felt this part
of me, this magic, come alive ofwhat was possible, and not in a
scary way, but in an empoweredway of oh, wow, which is aren't
this, this evil thing?
And I grew up watching Sabrinathe Teenage Witch too, so I was
like, wow, there's awesome magicin this.
(04:50):
And yeah, so I think that was.
That was one of the starts oflike feeling that part get
awakened and be recognized andgiven permission to be.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
I love that and I'm so happy that you had this sort
of mentor at an early age to belike, yes, and we can play with
all of these things and you know, there are ways in which we can
influence our lives and ourworld, and to introduce you to
all of that.
And I feel like, similarly, asa kid I was, I was always, yeah,
making potions, and I alwayssort of felt like I had magical
(05:26):
powers and like I remember firstfinding out, like, about static
electricity and like movingthings with my hands, and I was
like I do have magical powersand I just think it's so, it's
so important, I think, toencourage children, especially
because I feel like kids aresuper already, like tapped in.
So then, when you can kind ofshow them the tools from an
(05:48):
early age, I think is reallyreally beautiful.
So I am curious though, becauseI am always, you know, really
curious about people and youknow when they first discover
this and then you know, perhaps,what obstacles they face.
So I'm curious for you.
When this sort of started tobrew, literally, and turn on for
you, you know you mentionedthat your mom was like yep,
(06:09):
we're gonna get rid of this one.
So what was that like for youand like what was that was.
That was that sort of a themein your life that you that sort
of carried through in your lifeas you moved more into this work
.
Like where did tell me a littlebit more about, about that.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
So I definitely felt like you know the repercussions
of like telling my mom and nowlike, oh, like, there's a
punishment.
I don't have this babysitteranymore.
She told me this thing, like isit not safe to do this?
But I also felt this like I wasa little mischievous too, and
so I went to my elementaryschool and I told my friends
about this and you know, it waslike I just learned the super
(06:48):
cool thing and that was actuallylike very much.
So it has been a pattern in mylife of like learning something
and like then getting to shareabout it.
I don't like keeping it in.
I'm the one that, yes, I wantto share all the details.
I want to share everything I'mlearning and share it with my
close friends.
(07:09):
So I've always been, in a way,a little teacher and Actually in
elementary school I started asecret club with my friends
called the Angels Club and thereI taught, I shared some crazy
stories.
You know something like that,like I don't know where I was
channeling that magic, but itwas out there.
(07:31):
But within that I also I taughtabout like menstrual cycles and
sex head.
Really I was a friend that wasteaching everybody everything
and that has like carried forthin my life of doing that work
and then a few years ago, I hada big shift that happened to
(07:53):
during my Saturn return, ofgetting my.
I had a really big Instagramaccount that was a sex positive
education that I was sharing.
That got shut down when I wastalking about what hormonal
birth control does to our bodiesand the damages in that and,
you know, lost years of contentand 50,000 followers overnight
(08:16):
and my business and all that andagain I felt like the
repercussions and the punishmentfor speaking the truth or
sharing about alternative thingsand really trying to, you know,
empower people through that.
And I find like I haven'tallowed for it to like fully
shut me down, but always I'mlike oh, like this is happening
(08:36):
for me and making like thatconscious choice of like how is
this going to shift and evolveand help me like spread this
message even more because it'simportant.
I'm not going to.
It's like okay, maybe I need tobe more cautious of who I share
this with or what platform I'msharing or the to the extent
that I'm sharing, but I do feellike there's like I'm spreading
(08:56):
the message and my gifts andthat, and like there's
definitely you know it has arepercussion.
There's an impact in the thingsthat I'm speaking about because
it's edgy for people and youknow sometimes like it's like,
oh yeah, that one a little toofar with that person and like
finding that new boundary orwith that platform, and it's
(09:17):
like, okay, I got to start.
You know, maybe I need to geton podcasts and share about this
info.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Hello, hello, welcome .
Yeah, yeah, I really want tohear more about that and we'll
dive into that in a moment, andI'm curious, I would.
I feel that it would be reallya good moment to open our
listener up into more of yourworld, of what it is that you do
and what it is that you shareand how you work with people.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Yeah, I see a somatic intimacy coach and wilderness,
which you know some prettypowerful titles that I'm
carrying and like what is that?
Oh, my goodness.
So you know somatics being.
I guide people to connect withtheir body, to feel into their
body, and it's not just likestandard talk therapy but I'm
(10:06):
trained in somatic experiencingand several other various
somatic modalities of gettingpeople to embody the reality
they want and complete, you know, the trauma resolution in their
body and their regulate theirnervous systems to have it get
into alignment with what they'rereally calling in and desiring
(10:27):
in their life.
And then intimacy is, you know,for a while I was like, oh, I'm
a sacred sexuality coach and youknow it's like definitely an
emphasis on sexuality, like thatis my, you know my specialty in
that and helping people haveincredible sex lives, but it's
so much more than that too.
(10:48):
And now for me, like theintimacy really is intimacy and
connection with yourself,intimacy and connection with
another person, and that can beromantic, family, friends, dance
partners.
I'm really into various typesof connection, but also intimacy
with the earth and that's myother specialty is really
(11:11):
bringing that connection in andthat's really where the
wilderness, which magic,presents itself, and for so long
in my life I kept going backand forth between these two
professions.
Of all right, I want to justtake people out on backpacking
trips and help them connect tonature and see beautiful
(11:32):
waterfalls and learn about theplants and you know different
tinctures to support theirprocess.
Or I want to empower peopleabout you know their menstrual
cycles and how to have deeplyfulfilling relationships.
And when I actually had myInstagram account shut down,
that's where I had the a bigawakening of oh, I've separated.
(11:57):
I made my muse two differentparts and I felt like I had to
choose one, that I couldn't bethis wild, barefoot, waterfalls,
flower chasing, primal, badasswoman, or I could, and then I
couldn't be this like embodiedsexuality, like intimacy coach,
(12:20):
and I was like, oh, theseactually need to go together.
It's not I need to do this pathor this path, and and so that's
what I do is I merge them.
And so you know, you knowpeople come to me because they
want to have okay, maybe theyhaven't had an orgasm, or they
want to just experience more outof their partnership, or
whatever or they have sexualtrauma, but I use nature to help
(12:41):
heal, and so, and like somaticwilderness therapy of, like
bringing people in and helpingregulate their nervous systems,
helping them co regulate withthe earth and heal attachment
wounds through, even likeconnecting with the earth and
feeling that safety, or throughdance, partner dancing and
different things like that.
But also like, yes, of courseyou're not going to have an
(13:03):
orgasm or feel that muchpleasure because you're just
inside all day looking at acomputer screen, you're not
getting sunshine, you're nothaving like deeply, you know,
nourishing foods, yeah, yourbody isn't going to be filled
with life force and you're notgoing to feel that pleasure and
turn on.
And so, yeah, I combine allthese different things to help
people really feel the lifeforce moving through them.
(13:26):
And I use a lot of differentmodalities to support that and
really bringing like the Westernand Eastern perspectives
together.
And I love science and I lovemysticism and I love weaving all
of these different things to tosupport people and having, you
know, out of this world,connection to life force, to
(13:48):
their muse, to can, to theirarrows, their, their sexual
energy is their creative lifeforce.
You know, it's this pulsatingthing that's through through all
things and I think it's reallyimportant for us to connect in
with our creative life forcebecause that's what carries us
forward, it inspires us, it'sour desire, our pleasure and
(14:09):
turn on.
But when we can be in alignmentwith that and highest
consciousness and deepest love,like we can use this energy to
transform the world.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Yes, sister, she said it, she said it all.
I love it.
And I'm very curious becausewhen I think about each person's
internal muse you know youmentioned something about how,
like, there were two differentparts of you that seemed to not
(14:40):
necessarily be in opposition ofeach other, but you had to have
this moment of like.
How can I weave them together?
And I think it's reallyinteresting because what I've
noticed is, when I study otherpeople's paths of how they've
nurtured their inner muse, it'ssort of like there's certain
portions of their lives whereit's like okay, so I'm going to
go into deep study with thisaspect of my muse, and.
(15:02):
And then that's like where themuse is guiding them.
And then there's anotherportion like, okay, we're going
to study this deeply.
And then there comes a momentthis is sort of where I am, this
is where I'm like, reallyreally curious about your
experience of like.
Okay, so everything that I'vebeen doing, like all of the
paths have been leading up tothis really merging of the muse
(15:24):
in order to bring it all out,and and you mentioned this being
like a really, really bigmoment for you and I'm really
curious, what was that processlike for you to weave everything
together?
Speaker 2 (15:37):
I think it's.
It's still being woven, I don'tthink it ends.
It's a constant process of likeawakening and liberating and
connecting with our authenticself and finding like, how does
that want to be expressed?
And for me, I've found a lot ofgrowth and transformation and
(15:58):
study in Tantra and bothclassical Tantra and neo Tantra
and the classical Tantra texts.
You know, it's really thispathway to liberation and
expanding consciousness, andsome of the philosophy within
this practice is, you know,recognizing the consciousness in
everything.
(16:19):
And so this is a lot of likewhat I I weave into my work with
my clients, but also withmyself, and so it's okay.
There's consciousness in this my, my inner five year old.
There's consciousness in myinner wild witch and my
rebellious teen and my like, youknow, professional sex educator
(16:40):
, but also my like slutty, wild,like whore self, like all these
different parts, like.
It's not about like being like,oh, now that I'm 30, that part
of me can't exist, but it's likeOkay, how can I recognize the
(17:00):
consciousness in these differentparts, figure out what are they
meeting and how can they allwork together?
And so, as we get to discoverand uncover different parts of
ourself, it's really it's whereis their repression, where is
(17:20):
their conditioning?
Where is there the shame that'snot letting this part of us get
seen and be fully expressed?
And so, when you know and thisis where, like you know, in
Tantra, where a lot of peopleget hyper focused on the
sexuality aspect, is like that'swhere there's a lot of shame
and conditioning, but it's likeTantra isn't just about that, it
(17:41):
just includes that.
And so, yes, we go into theseplaces where maybe there's not
as much presence orconsciousness.
And once we start to do that,once we bring consciousness, our
presence, our thoughts,mindfulness, to these different
parts they're going to sharewith us, like what are they here
to teach us?
What is their, what is theirpurpose, what do they need?
(18:04):
And I think, having this, youknow, this commitment to self
connection, and connecting inwith these different aspects and
parts of ourselves, we candiscover, ooh, who is this?
What are they needing?
And how can that be woven intothis threat of life that we are
the co creators of?
Like we get to consciouslychoose.
(18:24):
What do I want to do?
Well, recognizing everyone elseis like their own mycelial web
of info, creating their you know, their own, their own realities
.
And it's like okay, how do wecollectively co create.
What is?
What is the world needing?
What?
How can I speak in a way thatcan be met versus?
(18:48):
You know, like my 20, somethingthat was like sexual liberation
and I want to be topless andrunning around naked.
You know, like she had herphase and not everyone could
receive that, like that was toomuch.
And now it's like, okay, Idon't need to repress that, I
find safer spaces for me to benaked outside and that still be
(19:09):
met without like triggeringsomeone, cause, yeah, that's
like they're not consenting tothat.
But that doesn't make this partof me wrong, or it doesn't make
it, you know.
It's just like, okay, as youknow, this grows and evolves.
Then I really view it as likebringing it to the altar of life
and like this is what it is andlike allowing for it to also,
(19:30):
you know, have its own sacrifice.
Of like okay, this is completed, that portion I've learned and
grown from it.
Or like had a even like apunishment from it, of like
having something shut down, orlike this lesson, and it's like,
okay, how is this happening forme?
And like how can I bring it alltogether to allow for my muse
(19:50):
to be expressed while meeting?
How is it being received andhow is it being delivered, and
what is?
What is this part actuallyauthentically needing and how
can they all thrive together?
Speaker 1 (20:03):
You've brought up so many questions and I'm just so
excited, so, my goodness.
So something that I'm I'mreally curious about is, as you
have been, it almost sounds likethis kind of like evaluating of
like okay, so these are all ofthe parts of myself and I am
(20:23):
really curious about.
Well, we'll start here, becauseyou mentioned something about
okay, so how can I, what areeach, what are each of them
needing?
And I think that's a hugequestion, specifically when we
think about our internal muse,because when we think about it,
it's not just one thing, it'slike it's this multifaceted sort
of like being entity, part ofourselves.
(20:46):
You know, however way you wantto really view it, and it's sort
of like.
It's like if you don't giveeach one attention in the way
that they need it, then theykind of will through.
It's like a little kid, almostlike well, I haven't had my
playtime, so you know.
And then they come out and andand it's almost like they can
kind of like take away the showin a way.
And so I'm really curious foryou what has your experience
(21:10):
been, and can you give us somelike concrete kind of like?
I know it's hard to do whenwe're speaking in these in these
ways, but like what are someways in which you give these
parts what they need, like whatare some of these practices.
What do they need?
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Yeah, so this is actually a big thing that I take
my, my clients through and,yeah, I like parts work and I
combine that with like aspecting, which is basically like I'll
create a ceremony really forpeople to go into.
It's actually sex magic of whatI facilitate and that's like
(21:46):
really getting clear on yourdesires and having your desire
be your North Star and ensuringthat, like that is an alignment
with highest consciousness anddeepest love.
And then you know, fullyactivating that.
And so I have them do that byimagining them having their
desires with all five sensesturned on.
And so what that does is itactivates all parts of the brain
(22:06):
and your brain then doesn'tknow the difference between
having that reality or not, andit allows for us to get in touch
with our unconscious and oursubconscious and these different
aspects in these differentparts.
And then I have people feelinto those parts and embody them
and like connect and I trustyou know, whatever parts like
(22:27):
first showing up is showing upbecause it's ready to be
connected with, to and to beliberated and whatever way.
And yeah, so I usually havepeople like bring out a couple
of pillows, they'll sit on onepillow and that will like
represent an aspect of their,their inner systems, and you
(22:48):
know, let's say it's their,their desiring a partnership,
their, their desiring toactivate, you know, this part of
their muse or whatever, andit's okay.
Now it's their inner five yearold that's showing up.
That's like this is not safe,you're going to be shut down,
you're going to be rejected.
And usually what their needsare is like coming off of
Maslow's hierarchy of needs.
(23:09):
They need love, safety andbelonging.
It's usually one of thosethings that are like coming out
there, it's like this isdangerous, oh my God.
And they're going to doeverything they can to self
sabotage you from getting yourdesire.
And now it's not that we needto like get rid of your inner
five year old or your inner slutshamer.
It's like, you know, picked upsome conditionings from you know
(23:32):
, aunt Betty, or whoever in yourlife.
It's not to make these partswrong or to have them be evicted
from your soul Because, again,like bringing in the tantric
philosophy of everything is partof consciousness, like
everything part of you is likeholy and beautiful and like you
(23:52):
know, it just needs to perhapshave a healing session to
liberate that aspect and have it, you know, come into it's true
self and so with that, maybe youknow if you're in her five year
old is like having a fit and islike boys are bad, boys are
gross, whatever you know, thenyou need to empower your you
(24:17):
know your inner wise woman tolike come in and perhaps like
reeducate your five year old andgive her that education or that
nourishment, or even likecreating like a safe home for
her, because your five year oldputs no place in showing up and
when you're dating, you knowlike that's, that's not, that's
(24:37):
not their job, and you knowcreating a new role for them.
But these parts are notnecessarily going to give up
that role very easily Becauseit's like yo, you haven't been
here for the last 30 years, thisis my job, I don't trust you
know like.
You know getting to meet theseparts with loving, awareness and
(24:58):
empathy and like meeting themand proving to them like oh no,
I've got you, you're safe, andyou know how can we do.
That is like one by having thatconversation.
And so you know, when it'sfacilitated, it's quite easy
because I prompt to my clientsto like drop into this this
state of like, channeling thesedifferent parts and feeling it
and bringing in the somatic,experiencing and all of that,
(25:19):
but by yourself.
You can even like journal andlike tune into that part and
have it express like what is itspurpose, what does it need, why
is it showing up?
And then maybe like someempowered part to step in and,
you know, creating a boundary ordifferent things or creating a
commitment, honoring andhonoring that and following
through of, like, all right, myinner five year old.
(25:41):
She needs to go on more playdates, she needs to go on artist
dates.
I'm going to take myself outonce a week to go for a hike,
whatever you know.
And it's, like you know,proving to your system, to and
to your soul, like yourcommitment and devotion to your
path.
And so you know, just likecreating that connection, if
it's, you know, throughmeditation or you know like
(26:02):
having an aspect is when you're,like you know, going back and
forth on the pillows and doinglike going back and forth, you
can sit in one pillow and speakto the other and sit in that
pillow and then go back.
It's, you know, really profoundwork.
That can be done that way too.
But also, you know just likejournaling and self reflection
can be, can be powerful.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
You've.
You've listed so many wonderfultools and I think one of my
favorites for sure is theartist's date, which is what I
learned from reading theartist's way and it's something
that I find is so crucial.
And the idea there is if youhaven't read it, dear listener
the artist's way by JuliaCameron.
The idea is like that once aweek, ideally, you take yourself
(26:42):
out for an artist's day and youknow, even if you're like a
visual artist or you're a writer, whatever kind of art you do,
it doesn't necessarily have tobe that exact thing, it can just
be like what you're saying.
You know there's this aspect ofmyself that needs to be
nourished and nurtured.
One of my favorite artistsdates.
I just took myself out and I hadsort of come to this
realization.
I was like it's been a minutesince I've taken myself out, but
(27:05):
I took myself out ice skatingand that was like my little girl
who, like, just wanted to belike Tara Lipinski in the
Olympics and just wanted to wearthe cute outfits.
You know she needed to go andhave her have her time on the
ice.
I went alone, Great, you know,they had disco lights on and and
I just did my little spins andI think it's.
(27:26):
It's just one of these thingsthat it's.
It's very easy if we're justkind of like living life that we
forget.
You know, these are the thingsthat I know I can do to nurture
that specific part of myself andI just think it's a really,
really wonderful practice totake yourself out on an artist.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Yes, yeah, I love that I am actually going to be
facilitating a group take andgoing through the artist way
again, starting at the beginningof the year.
So maybe this is like, yeah,it's super fun and I bring in,
like you know, differentpractices to awaken the creative
energy to and it's, yeah, superpowerful.
(28:03):
So I'm, I'm all about theartist way.
It's, it's delicious and yeah,so if anyone's interested, just
send me a message on Instagram.
I'm happy to to share that info.
But, yes, yes, yeah, yeah, andI think there's like this aspect
too of like connecting back inwith like looking at our, our
(28:25):
inner artists, our inner muse,our life force, our sexual
energy, like I see it all is asdeeply connected as you know,
the same thing and you know, ifit's something, it's, it's our
inner fire.
If we're not tending this fire,it goes out.
It's not dead.
We can relight the fire, but itjust might need a little
(28:46):
stoking.
It needs tending, it needsavenues of expression, without
it needing to be a performanceor to be perfect, but it's like
just giving presence andawareness to, and this is where
having artist dates or selfpleasure practices or, you know,
date nights with your partner,like it's opportunities to stoke
(29:09):
this fire and be like, oh,training your system, this is
something that's important, thisis something we're going to
give presence to.
And then, when we bringpresence, you know our life
force gets to flow there evenmore and it gets to be, you know
, embodying in a way that islife giving and that is like, oh
, wow, I can think in thiscreative way.
Or now, you know, if I'm justlike channeling songs or
(29:31):
different things, like if you'refeeding that, if you have that
practice, yeah, you're going tohave more music and poetry that
is moving through you.
If you're, you know, you knowpracticing cooking or baking,
you're gonna have a new ideasthat come through as you're in
the kitchen, as you're tendingthat muse.
Or if it's like, wow, I'm doingdifferent embodiment practices
(29:51):
and connecting in with myselfand feeling good, like you know,
usually, yeah, you know, whenyou have like good intimacy or
good sexual experiences, it'slike, oh well, I want more.
You know it's not always like,okay, I'm good, I'm good now for
you know, but it's like, oh,now I'm more hungry.
Like now, I'm like it's likeawakening your inner dragon in a
(30:13):
way of like your inner muse andand allowing for that to be
expressed, and so it's likeconsciously choosing what parts
do I want to awaken.
How can I tend that flame andfire and and give it love?
Speaker 1 (30:30):
So something that you mentioned that I'm really
curious about is, you know, whenI think about all of these
parts and when I think, okay, sothey've all been well fed.
You know, I've had some deepwork in listening to them and
understanding how each of them,how I can play with each of them
, how they inform me and my life, and, and then I'm really
(30:51):
curious when you bring it alltogether, something you said
really struck me of, of course,I'm very similar in that way of
as I've integrated my lifeexperiences.
I'm kind of like, okay, cool,so now that I want to share it,
right, and you said somethingthat really struck me, which was
how can I speak in a way thatwill be met?
And it brought to mind theinner critic, which I feel, like
(31:13):
you know, when we talk aboutunleashing our inner muse,
there's I feel like it sort ofgoes in hand in hand is like
there's going to be the innercritic who's going to be like
don't, don't put that part ofyou out there, because you're
going to be judged, you're goingto be, and I feel like it also
it's like inner critic.
And then, with this kind of work, is also sort of tied in with
the witch wound as well, whichis I'm super fascinated with
(31:37):
your experience on which,because it seems like you've
really taken it on as achallenge of, instead of saying
like I'm being persecuted orinstead of saying like I'm the
victim, here, you've been ableto kind of switch your
perspective to say like okay, sohow?
So clearly I can approach it inthis way, but how can I, how can
I sort of shift, how I'msharing all of these aspects of
(32:00):
myself and tell me a little bitabout what that is for you and
how you even approach doing that?
Because I feel like, also in mymind, it's this sort of
constant battle of like I wantto be creative, I want to allow
the muse to flow through me andat the same time, there is that
fear, the inner critic, of beinglike okay, but how is it going
(32:20):
to be received?
And then it it's, it's, yeah,it's like a challenge, do you
know?
So, yeah, I'm really justcurious for you what that, what
that has been like, yeah, I mean, it hasn't been easy.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
I don't think it's easy for anybody and I think,
like there's like first, likehaving empathy and creating
space for for us to even go intolike that wound is real and to
feel like the depth and the painof that.
Because, like that's totallywhat happened when I had my
Instagram shut down.
It was like this deep whichwound I felt myself like getting
burned at the stake and I waslike, like my finances, you know
(32:54):
, I would be able to launch acourse and like now, all of a
sudden, I don't even like people, like it was my resume, my
portfolio, my connection, likeall of this stuff just gone.
And yeah, I made the choice.
I was like, all right, this ishappening for me and it's, it's
been a journey.
Like I definitely still feellike sometimes, like the writers
block around showing up onInstagram.
(33:14):
Like that's not.
I mean, I'm like, all right,that's a little danger zone,
yeah, you know.
And it's like okay, how can wealso learn from these
experiences?
How can we connect in with ourinner critic and not be like, oh
God, my inner critic sucks,they're keeping me from sharing
my voice, but instead, oh, whoa,like where can I safely share
(33:35):
my voice.
How can I create that safety inmy life?
Thank you, inner critic, fortrying to protect me and keep me
safe.
Oh, my God, I love, I love you.
Thank you, I hear you and it'slike, okay, maybe it's like, you
know, like a big thing for meis I want to come more into my
sharing my voice and likesinging and music, like that's
such an edge, but that's like,oh, I want it.
And so it's like, okay, how canI create, you know,
(33:58):
environments where it's safe forme to do that?
Maybe it's living alone andhaving the privacy to channel
that, maybe it's song circles oryou know a space where I can be
my full, weird wild self, orgoing to nude hot springs where
I can be naked outside, orliving in a place where I can do
that, but it's like it's safefor me.
(34:19):
And I think it's important toallow for ourselves to feel the
victim experience and it's alsoimportant to allow ourselves to
feel the empowered experienceand to make the choices, like
going forward and be like, okay,I get to create this pathway
and I like to zoom into, likethe micro and the macro and all
(34:41):
the different things and seelike, okay, I'm creating a new
neuronal pathway by like makingthis choice and like choosing
this and like resourcing andfeeling the safety and the love
and the belonging and all that.
But then also like zooming outand looking at like oh, we're
all aspects again of these partsof consciousness and like how
(35:02):
can we work together?
Because maybe it's not safe forthat other person, for me to be
this like wildly liberatedperson out in public, because
now that's going to totally likeshift their reality and their
child is going to be like, oh myGod, like Mom, why was this
woman naked, you know?
(35:24):
And now they have to, you know.
It's like maybe that's part oflike the liberation and like
creating experiences for people,like I trust in that.
But also it's like how can wemeet our reality in a way that
creates harmony?
And like zooming out even moreand it's like, okay, like
cultures and countries, and andthen like I don't know if you've
ever seen like those like reelswhere it shows like you know,
(35:47):
like I just saw one a coupledays ago and that's like what's
coming in is like zooming outand seeing like earth, and then
like just like it keeps goingout into, like the galaxies and
all these things.
But then we also can like, zoomway into, like the micro, and
you know when we can zoom outand be like, oh, whoa, we're all
like functioning and workingtogether, and so I think it can
be easy to like, feel like mythis news is like, oh, it needs
(36:11):
to be seen and expressed in thisway, but actually like whoa,
what if we're all collectivenews and like how can we meet
all the different parts and howcan?
But?
And then it's like, how can wecreate the safety for this part
to be expressed in a safe waywhere it's gonna be loved and
celebrated, you know, with myfamily or friends or whatever,
(36:35):
and then also get to have likeharmony, because that's where
it's like, yeah, I think it's,it's super, it's a balance of
finding where do we get tocreate the ruffles and the waves
and shake things up to Breakout of patterns and
conditionings that are no longerserving, and when do we get to
(36:55):
like, realize, whoa, my wavesare actually creating harm or
like.
And then it's like, you know,when we bring the tontric
philosophy, everything's part ofconsciousness, we're all doing
our thing, like Trust, and thenit's like all right spirit on
this mother earth, whatever youknow, I think it's, it's
(37:16):
creating that balance.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
It's interesting because the next question I want
to ask feels as if it may havea very similar answer and I'm
gonna ask it anyway.
Okay, let's go for it.
So in that sort of same I don'tknow vein, what I heard, what I
would, I, part of what Ireceived was also just like the
importance of Doing, doing whatyou can for yourself, sort of
(37:41):
outside of the expectation ofsharing it.
That was part of what I, what Ireceived.
And then what I'm interested inis shifting into when you are
ready to share aspects of yournews, of your work, of literally
your work, and something yousaid is also it's not wanting
knowing when to kind of createthose waves and then also
(38:01):
knowing when perhaps you mightbe creating more harm.
And and I'm really curious foryou and in your work, because I,
from what I know of your work,it's it's extremely useful and I
feel so many women and peoplecould greatly benefit from this
work.
And I also see how, potentially,if someone, I guess like I
(38:23):
don't say not ready for it, butit's almost like I guess what
I'm interested in understandingis like, from your perspective,
is there a way of are youinterested in sort of feeding
people a little bit like kind oflike the baby food is like okay
.
So here's like a little bit myfriend and welcome in, or and or
.
Are you also interested in justbeing like full wave, my friend
(38:46):
?
Like I'm not, I'm not here tocensor myself, like this is the
full thing, because I'm reallyjust I'm interested in this sort
of idea because I alsounderstand that for some people
they need the baby steps.
But then I'm also curious iffor you, where you are in your
work and in your life now, I'minterested in who are you
serving?
Speaker 2 (39:07):
yeah, does that make sense?
Totally.
So I think you know I'veexperienced like fully go for it
, rip the bandaid off, wildstuff.
Also experienced like thereally slow titration and like
resourcing and making sure thenervous system is on board and
all the parts are like on boardand all that.
(39:29):
And you know now, like havingmore trauma, informed Awareness
and all these different things.
I'm like, yeah, okay, slow isgood and like I love jumping in
the going for it, like that'slike my personal thing.
I'm like I want to learn thisthing.
Let me sign up for a month longintensive or word of the I'm
(39:51):
doing and you know and I thinkit's up to the individual and
that's the way I work with myclients is like, what is your
window of tolerance?
Are you going to be able toJump into this?
Are you gonna be able tointegrate this?
Are is, what are your resources?
Are you able to like show upand share your voice and are you
(40:13):
able to handle like perhapspeople Shaming you are coming at
you or do we need to like firstwork on building up that safety
Like and so it's so it's uniqueto the individual and what
their capacity is, and also, youknow, for the people that are
like more adrenaline junkies,that are like give me that next
time and go to this intensiveretreat.
(40:37):
Like I have a tendency offalling into that pattern and I
would like recognizing where areour patterns, yeah, and maybe
creating some new ones.
For me it was really themedicine is in slowing, you know
slowing down and I love thatand now that's like you know, a
lot of my work with my clientsis like we go slow, I'm into the
(41:00):
titration and all that, andthen also like there's people
that are like yo, brittany, I'mready to like do this?
Can I come out for a three dayretreat with you, one on one,
deep dive, like oh, yeah, I'mlike so for that, and then
bringing in like the the youknow nervous system regulation
at the same time.
I think that's, you know, it'sreally the important part is
(41:20):
that is the nervous systemregulation, because if you're
just like diving in and you'redisconnected, like you're not
going to get the magic out of itand you're actually going to
like you know, burn out youradrenals and like have
consequences with that.
But you know like if you arelike people that are going to
like plant medicine, ceremony,plant medicine, you know they're
not like doing the integration,like that's, you know that's
(41:43):
also not serving and so it'slike how can you stay within
your window of tolerance withoutDisassociating or creating more
harm or whatever, but havinglike your inner allies.
If you want to like work withsome like Awakening parts of
yourself that are like innerprotectors, and like you know
what, you're gonna get up onthat stage and you're gonna sing
(42:04):
, and this isn't about being thebest singer, this is about you
just sharing and speaking orgiving your gift and like being
there and, like you know,feeling that support and make
you know, if it's your firstperformance, making sure you
have, you know, inviting yourfriends and being like this is
important for you to show up sothey are there, and like
creating the environment for youto be able to express and share
(42:26):
, if you're in a muse, to beEmbodied and lived, while having
the safety is, you know, thatis the baseline we need.
We need the safety, like that'salways come back to that over
and over again.
Create the safety and then thelove and the belonging and then,
yeah, you'll have the selfactualization and the magical
(42:48):
experience of if you know thatso many people are after create
the safety.
Speaker 1 (42:54):
yeah, I love that.
I love that I'm gonna becarrying that with me.
So, in the interest of wrappingit up although I know I could
talk to you and ask you amillion more questions Can you
let our listener know how canthey work with you?

Let our listener know where areyou joining us from today on
(01:12):
earth, at this moment?
Speaker 2 (01:13):
I am currently in Asheville, North Carolina, in
the beautiful Blue RidgeMountains.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Really magical place.
I have yet to come and enjoy it, though.
I really have loved myexperiences in North Carolina
and I'm excited to come backsoon.
It's a very from what I know,where you are is like really
high, powerful.
Just some amazing people whoare there.
Yeah, yeah, I love that.
I love that, so we're going todive right into it.
(01:43):
On season two of the show,we're talking all about our
internal muse, our inner genius,which is something that I
believe many of us or if not allof us are born with, and
obviously there's a lot you canread about different opinions
about it, and I really like tosee it almost as this how you
could say, a part of me, anotherentity that travels with me
(02:07):
throughout my entire life, and Ireally like to find different
ways to play with it and nurtureit.
And that's what I'm reallycurious about is talking with
other people about theirinternal muse and that thing
that spurs them on that creativespark.
And so I'm really curious foryou when you tune into this idea
(02:28):
of your inner muse.
It's also sometimes referred toas the inner daemon or daemon,
which I also like.
It's very mischievous.
What comes to mind for you whenyou first bring that into your
sphere?
What comes to mind?
Speaker 2 (02:46):
I just I feel like this nature, earth, goddess that
is alive and pulsating withcreativity and hunger for
expression and connection.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
I love that.
I love that.
So I'm curious for you when wasthe first moment, or was there
a series of moments in your lifewhere you first sort of came
into contact with this beingthis part of you?
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Yeah, I think it like .
One of the earlier memoriesthat I have is I had a
babysitter who didn't last verylong.
My mom fired her because ofwhat went down, but she told me
that Santa Claus wasn't real,and then she also told me that
(03:39):
witches were real.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Yeah, and she told me that she was a witch and her
and her friends would gather intheir attic and like candles and
do these things.
And she's like, and you're awitch too.
And I was like, oh my God, thisis amazing, like pulsating and
like I was so into like themystical stuff but didn't really
know that it was possible orthat it could be real.
(04:07):
And I was so drawn to like make.
I would be in the backyardmaking potions.
And I remember my mom took meto an amusement park when I
turned seven years old.
That was like my big birthdayparty.
I didn't want to go on therides, I just wanted to look at
all the polished crystals andthe rocks Like that's what I was
into, and like the plants andnature and like for me.
(04:28):
So, like hearing that, I wasjust like, oh, I felt this part
of me, this magic, come alive ofwhat was possible, and not in a
scary way, but in an empoweredway of oh, wow, which is aren't
this, this evil thing?
And I grew up watching Sabrinathe Teenage Witch too, so I was
like, wow, there's awesome magicin this.
(04:50):
And yeah, so I think that was.
That was one of the starts oflike feeling that part get
awakened and be recognized andgiven permission to be.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
I love that and I'm so happy that you had this sort
of mentor at an early age to belike, yes, and we can play with
all of these things and you know, there are ways in which we can
influence our lives and ourworld, and to introduce you to
all of that.
And I feel like, similarly, asa kid I was, I was always, yeah,
making potions, and I alwayssort of felt like I had magical
(05:26):
powers and like I remember firstfinding out, like, about static
electricity and like movingthings with my hands, and I was
like I do have magical powersand I just think it's so, it's
so important, I think, toencourage children, especially
because I feel like kids aresuper already, like tapped in.
So then, when you can kind ofshow them the tools from an
(05:48):
early age, I think is reallyreally beautiful.
So I am curious though, becauseI am always, you know, really
curious about people and youknow when they first discover
this and then you know, perhaps,what obstacles they face.
So I'm curious for you.
When this sort of started tobrew, literally, and turn on for
you, you know you mentionedthat your mom was like yep,
(06:09):
we're gonna get rid of this one.
So what was that like for youand like what was that was.
That was that sort of a themein your life that you that sort
of carried through in your lifeas you moved more into this work
.
Like where did tell me a littlebit more about, about that.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
So I definitely felt like you know the repercussions
of like telling my mom and nowlike, oh, like, there's a
punishment.
I don't have this babysitteranymore.
She told me this thing, like isit not safe to do this?
But I also felt this like I wasa little mischievous too, and
so I went to my elementaryschool and I told my friends
about this and you know, it waslike I just learned the super
(06:48):
cool thing and that was actuallylike very much.
So it has been a pattern in mylife of like learning something
and like then getting to shareabout it.
I don't like keeping it in.
I'm the one that, yes, I wantto share all the details.
I want to share everything I'mlearning and share it with my
close friends.
(07:09):
So I've always been, in a way,a little teacher and Actually in
elementary school I started asecret club with my friends
called the Angels Club and thereI taught, I shared some crazy
stories.
You know something like that,like I don't know where I was
channeling that magic, but itwas out there.
(07:31):
But within that I also I taughtabout like menstrual cycles and
sex head.
Really I was a friend that wasteaching everybody everything
and that has like carried forthin my life of doing that work
and then a few years ago, I hada big shift that happened to
(07:53):
during my Saturn return, ofgetting my.
I had a really big Instagramaccount that was a sex positive
education that I was sharing.
That got shut down when I wastalking about what hormonal
birth control does to our bodiesand the damages in that and,
you know, lost years of contentand 50,000 followers overnight
(08:16):
and my business and all that andagain I felt like the
repercussions and the punishmentfor speaking the truth or
sharing about alternative thingsand really trying to, you know,
empower people through that.
And I find like I haven'tallowed for it to like fully
shut me down, but always I'mlike oh, like this is happening
(08:36):
for me and making like thatconscious choice of like how is
this going to shift and evolveand help me like spread this
message even more because it'simportant.
I'm not going to.
It's like okay, maybe I need tobe more cautious of who I share
this with or what platform I'msharing or the to the extent
that I'm sharing, but I do feellike there's like I'm spreading
(08:56):
the message and my gifts andthat, and like there's
definitely you know it has arepercussion.
There's an impact in the thingsthat I'm speaking about because
it's edgy for people and youknow sometimes like it's like,
oh yeah, that one a little toofar with that person and like
finding that new boundary orwith that platform, and it's
(09:17):
like, okay, I got to start.
You know, maybe I need to geton podcasts and share about this
info.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Hello, hello, welcome .
Yeah, yeah, I really want tohear more about that and we'll
dive into that in a moment, andI'm curious, I would.
I feel that it would be reallya good moment to open our
listener up into more of yourworld, of what it is that you do
and what it is that you shareand how you work with people.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Yeah, I see a somatic intimacy coach and wilderness,
which you know some prettypowerful titles that I'm
carrying and like what is that?
Oh, my goodness.
So you know somatics being.
I guide people to connect withtheir body, to feel into their
body, and it's not just likestandard talk therapy but I'm
(10:06):
trained in somatic experiencingand several other various
somatic modalities of gettingpeople to embody the reality
they want and complete, you know, the trauma resolution in their
body and their regulate theirnervous systems to have it get
into alignment with what they'rereally calling in and desiring
(10:27):
in their life.
And then intimacy is, you know,for a while I was like, oh, I'm
a sacred sexuality coach and youknow it's like definitely an
emphasis on sexuality, like thatis my, you know my specialty in
that and helping people haveincredible sex lives, but it's
so much more than that too.
(10:48):
And now for me, like theintimacy really is intimacy and
connection with yourself,intimacy and connection with
another person, and that can beromantic, family, friends, dance
partners.
I'm really into various typesof connection, but also intimacy
with the earth and that's myother specialty is really
(11:11):
bringing that connection in andthat's really where the
wilderness, which magic,presents itself, and for so long
in my life I kept going backand forth between these two
professions.
Of all right, I want to justtake people out on backpacking
trips and help them connect tonature and see beautiful
(11:32):
waterfalls and learn about theplants and you know different
tinctures to support theirprocess.
Or I want to empower peopleabout you know their menstrual
cycles and how to have deeplyfulfilling relationships.
And when I actually had myInstagram account shut down,
that's where I had the a bigawakening of oh, I've separated.
(11:57):
I made my muse two differentparts and I felt like I had to
choose one, that I couldn't bethis wild, barefoot, waterfalls,
flower chasing, primal, badasswoman, or I could, and then I
couldn't be this like embodiedsexuality, like intimacy coach,
(12:20):
and I was like, oh, theseactually need to go together.
It's not I need to do this pathor this path, and and so that's
what I do is I merge them.
And so you know, you knowpeople come to me because they
want to have okay, maybe theyhaven't had an orgasm, or they
want to just experience more outof their partnership, or
whatever or they have sexualtrauma, but I use nature to help
(12:41):
heal, and so, and like somaticwilderness therapy of, like
bringing people in and helpingregulate their nervous systems,
helping them co regulate withthe earth and heal attachment
wounds through, even likeconnecting with the earth and
feeling that safety, or throughdance, partner dancing and
different things like that.
But also like, yes, of courseyou're not going to have an
(13:03):
orgasm or feel that muchpleasure because you're just
inside all day looking at acomputer screen, you're not
getting sunshine, you're nothaving like deeply, you know,
nourishing foods, yeah, yourbody isn't going to be filled
with life force and you're notgoing to feel that pleasure and
turn on.
And so, yeah, I combine allthese different things to help
people really feel the lifeforce moving through them.
(13:26):
And I use a lot of differentmodalities to support that and
really bringing like the Westernand Eastern perspectives
together.
And I love science and I lovemysticism and I love weaving all
of these different things to tosupport people and having, you
know, out of this world,connection to life force, to
(13:48):
their muse, to can, to theirarrows, their, their sexual
energy is their creative lifeforce.
You know, it's this pulsatingthing that's through through all
things and I think it's reallyimportant for us to connect in
with our creative life forcebecause that's what carries us
forward, it inspires us, it'sour desire, our pleasure and
(14:09):
turn on.
But when we can be in alignmentwith that and highest
consciousness and deepest love,like we can use this energy to
transform the world.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Yes, sister, she said it, she said it all.
I love it.
And I'm very curious becausewhen I think about each person's
internal muse you know youmentioned something about how,
like, there were two differentparts of you that seemed to not
(14:40):
necessarily be in opposition ofeach other, but you had to have
this moment of like.
How can I weave them together?
And I think it's reallyinteresting because what I've
noticed is, when I study otherpeople's paths of how they've
nurtured their inner muse, it'ssort of like there's certain
portions of their lives whereit's like okay, so I'm going to
go into deep study with thisaspect of my muse, and.
(15:02):
And then that's like where themuse is guiding them.
And then there's anotherportion like, okay, we're going
to study this deeply.
And then there comes a momentthis is sort of where I am, this
is where I'm like, reallyreally curious about your
experience of like.
Okay, so everything that I'vebeen doing, like all of the
paths have been leading up tothis really merging of the muse
(15:24):
in order to bring it all out,and and you mentioned this being
like a really, really bigmoment for you and I'm really
curious, what was that processlike for you to weave everything
together?
Speaker 2 (15:37):
I think it's.
It's still being woven, I don'tthink it ends.
It's a constant process of likeawakening and liberating and
connecting with our authenticself and finding like, how does
that want to be expressed?
And for me, I've found a lot ofgrowth and transformation and
(15:58):
study in Tantra and bothclassical Tantra and neo Tantra
and the classical Tantra texts.
You know, it's really thispathway to liberation and
expanding consciousness, andsome of the philosophy within
this practice is, you know,recognizing the consciousness in
everything.
(16:19):
And so this is a lot of likewhat I I weave into my work with
my clients, but also withmyself, and so it's okay.
There's consciousness in this my, my inner five year old.
There's consciousness in myinner wild witch and my
rebellious teen and my like, youknow, professional sex educator
(16:40):
, but also my like slutty, wild,like whore self, like all these
different parts, like.
It's not about like being like,oh, now that I'm 30, that part
of me can't exist, but it's likeOkay, how can I recognize the
(17:00):
consciousness in these differentparts, figure out what are they
meeting and how can they allwork together?
And so, as we get to discoverand uncover different parts of
ourself, it's really it's whereis their repression, where is
(17:20):
their conditioning?
Where is there the shame that'snot letting this part of us get
seen and be fully expressed?
And so, when you know and thisis where, like you know, in
Tantra, where a lot of peopleget hyper focused on the
sexuality aspect, is like that'swhere there's a lot of shame
and conditioning, but it's likeTantra isn't just about that, it
(17:41):
just includes that.
And so, yes, we go into theseplaces where maybe there's not
as much presence orconsciousness.
And once we start to do that,once we bring consciousness, our
presence, our thoughts,mindfulness, to these different
parts they're going to sharewith us, like what are they here
to teach us?
What is their, what is theirpurpose, what do they need?
(18:04):
And I think, having this, youknow, this commitment to self
connection, and connecting inwith these different aspects and
parts of ourselves, we candiscover, ooh, who is this?
What are they needing?
And how can that be woven intothis threat of life that we are
the co creators of?
Like we get to consciouslychoose.
(18:24):
What do I want to do?
Well, recognizing everyone elseis like their own mycelial web
of info, creating their you know, their own, their own realities
.
And it's like okay, how do wecollectively co create.
What is?
What is the world needing?
What?
How can I speak in a way thatcan be met versus?
(18:48):
You know, like my 20, somethingthat was like sexual liberation
and I want to be topless andrunning around naked.
You know, like she had herphase and not everyone could
receive that, like that was toomuch.
And now it's like, okay, Idon't need to repress that, I
find safer spaces for me to benaked outside and that still be
(19:09):
met without like triggeringsomeone, cause, yeah, that's
like they're not consenting tothat.
But that doesn't make this partof me wrong, or it doesn't make
it, you know.
It's just like, okay, as youknow, this grows and evolves.
Then I really view it as likebringing it to the altar of life
and like this is what it is andlike allowing for it to also,
(19:30):
you know, have its own sacrifice.
Of like okay, this is completed, that portion I've learned and
grown from it.
Or like had a even like apunishment from it, of like
having something shut down, orlike this lesson, and it's like,
okay, how is this happening forme?
And like how can I bring it alltogether to allow for my muse
(19:50):
to be expressed while meeting?
How is it being received andhow is it being delivered, and
what is?
What is this part actuallyauthentically needing and how
can they all thrive together?
Speaker 1 (20:03):
You've brought up so many questions and I'm just so
excited, so, my goodness.
So something that I'm I'mreally curious about is, as you
have been, it almost sounds likethis kind of like evaluating of
like okay, so these are all ofthe parts of myself and I am
(20:23):
really curious about.
Well, we'll start here, becauseyou mentioned something about
okay, so how can I, what areeach, what are each of them
needing?
And I think that's a hugequestion, specifically when we
think about our internal muse,because when we think about it,
it's not just one thing, it'slike it's this multifaceted sort
of like being entity, part ofourselves.
(20:46):
You know, however way you wantto really view it, and it's sort
of like.
It's like if you don't giveeach one attention in the way
that they need it, then theykind of will through.
It's like a little kid, almostlike well, I haven't had my
playtime, so you know.
And then they come out and andand it's almost like they can
kind of like take away the showin a way.
And so I'm really curious foryou what has your experience
(21:10):
been, and can you give us somelike concrete kind of like?
I know it's hard to do whenwe're speaking in these in these
ways, but like what are someways in which you give these
parts what they need, like whatare some of these practices.
What do they need?
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Yeah, so this is actually a big thing that I take
my, my clients through and,yeah, I like parts work and I
combine that with like aspecting, which is basically like I'll
create a ceremony really forpeople to go into.
It's actually sex magic of whatI facilitate and that's like
(21:46):
really getting clear on yourdesires and having your desire
be your North Star and ensuringthat, like that is an alignment
with highest consciousness anddeepest love.
And then you know, fullyactivating that.
And so I have them do that byimagining them having their
desires with all five sensesturned on.
And so what that does is itactivates all parts of the brain
(22:06):
and your brain then doesn'tknow the difference between
having that reality or not, andit allows for us to get in touch
with our unconscious and oursubconscious and these different
aspects in these differentparts.
And then I have people feelinto those parts and embody them
and like connect and I trustyou know, whatever parts like
(22:27):
first showing up is showing upbecause it's ready to be
connected with, to and to beliberated and whatever way.
And yeah, so I usually havepeople like bring out a couple
of pillows, they'll sit on onepillow and that will like
represent an aspect of their,their inner systems, and you
(22:48):
know, let's say it's their,their desiring a partnership,
their, their desiring toactivate, you know, this part of
their muse or whatever, andit's okay.
Now it's their inner five yearold that's showing up.
That's like this is not safe,you're going to be shut down,
you're going to be rejected.
And usually what their needsare is like coming off of
Maslow's hierarchy of needs.
(23:09):
They need love, safety andbelonging.
It's usually one of thosethings that are like coming out
there, it's like this isdangerous, oh my God.
And they're going to doeverything they can to self
sabotage you from getting yourdesire.
And now it's not that we needto like get rid of your inner
five year old or your inner slutshamer.
It's like, you know, picked upsome conditionings from you know
(23:32):
, aunt Betty, or whoever in yourlife.
It's not to make these partswrong or to have them be evicted
from your soul Because, again,like bringing in the tantric
philosophy of everything is partof consciousness, like
everything part of you is likeholy and beautiful and like you
(23:52):
know, it just needs to perhapshave a healing session to
liberate that aspect and have it, you know, come into it's true
self and so with that, maybe youknow if you're in her five year
old is like having a fit and islike boys are bad, boys are
gross, whatever you know, thenyou need to empower your you
(24:17):
know your inner wise woman tolike come in and perhaps like
reeducate your five year old andgive her that education or that
nourishment, or even likecreating like a safe home for
her, because your five year oldputs no place in showing up and
when you're dating, you knowlike that's, that's not, that's
(24:37):
not their job, and you knowcreating a new role for them.
But these parts are notnecessarily going to give up
that role very easily Becauseit's like yo, you haven't been
here for the last 30 years, thisis my job, I don't trust you
know like.
You know getting to meet theseparts with loving, awareness and
(24:58):
empathy and like meeting themand proving to them like oh no,
I've got you, you're safe, andyou know how can we do.
That is like one by having thatconversation.
And so you know, when it'sfacilitated, it's quite easy
because I prompt to my clientsto like drop into this this
state of like, channeling thesedifferent parts and feeling it
and bringing in the somatic,experiencing and all of that,
(25:19):
but by yourself.
You can even like journal andlike tune into that part and
have it express like what is itspurpose, what does it need, why
is it showing up?
And then maybe like someempowered part to step in and,
you know, creating a boundary ordifferent things or creating a
commitment, honoring andhonoring that and following
through of, like, all right, myinner five year old.
(25:41):
She needs to go on more playdates, she needs to go on artist
dates.
I'm going to take myself outonce a week to go for a hike,
whatever you know.
And it's, like you know,proving to your system, to and
to your soul, like yourcommitment and devotion to your
path.
And so you know, just likecreating that connection, if
it's, you know, throughmeditation or you know like
(26:02):
having an aspect is when you're,like you know, going back and
forth on the pillows and doinglike going back and forth, you
can sit in one pillow and speakto the other and sit in that
pillow and then go back.
It's, you know, really profoundwork.
That can be done that way too.
But also, you know just likejournaling and self reflection
can be, can be powerful.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
You've.
You've listed so many wonderfultools and I think one of my
favorites for sure is theartist's date, which is what I
learned from reading theartist's way and it's something
that I find is so crucial.
And the idea there is if youhaven't read it, dear listener
the artist's way by JuliaCameron.
The idea is like that once aweek, ideally, you take yourself
(26:42):
out for an artist's day and youknow, even if you're like a
visual artist or you're a writer, whatever kind of art you do,
it doesn't necessarily have tobe that exact thing, it can just
be like what you're saying.
You know there's this aspect ofmyself that needs to be
nourished and nurtured.
One of my favorite artistsdates.
I just took myself out and I hadsort of come to this
realization.
I was like it's been a minutesince I've taken myself out, but
(27:05):
I took myself out ice skatingand that was like my little girl
who, like, just wanted to belike Tara Lipinski in the
Olympics and just wanted to wearthe cute outfits.
You know she needed to go andhave her have her time on the
ice.
I went alone, Great, you know,they had disco lights on and and
I just did my little spins andI think it's.
(27:26):
It's just one of these thingsthat it's.
It's very easy if we're justkind of like living life that we
forget.
You know, these are the thingsthat I know I can do to nurture
that specific part of myself andI just think it's a really,
really wonderful practice totake yourself out on an artist.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Yes, yeah, I love that I am actually going to be
facilitating a group take andgoing through the artist way
again, starting at the beginningof the year.
So maybe this is like, yeah,it's super fun and I bring in,
like you know, differentpractices to awaken the creative
energy to and it's, yeah, superpowerful.
(28:03):
So I'm, I'm all about theartist way.
It's, it's delicious and yeah,so if anyone's interested, just
send me a message on Instagram.
I'm happy to to share that info.
But, yes, yes, yeah, yeah, andI think there's like this aspect
too of like connecting back inwith like looking at our, our
(28:25):
inner artists, our inner muse,our life force, our sexual
energy, like I see it all is asdeeply connected as you know,
the same thing and you know, ifit's something, it's, it's our
inner fire.
If we're not tending this fire,it goes out.
It's not dead.
We can relight the fire, but itjust might need a little
(28:46):
stoking.
It needs tending, it needsavenues of expression, without
it needing to be a performanceor to be perfect, but it's like
just giving presence andawareness to, and this is where
having artist dates or selfpleasure practices or, you know,
date nights with your partner,like it's opportunities to stoke
(29:09):
this fire and be like, oh,training your system, this is
something that's important, thisis something we're going to
give presence to.
And then, when we bringpresence, you know our life
force gets to flow there evenmore and it gets to be, you know
, embodying in a way that islife giving and that is like, oh
, wow, I can think in thiscreative way.
Or now, you know, if I'm justlike channeling songs or
(29:31):
different things, like if you'refeeding that, if you have that
practice, yeah, you're going tohave more music and poetry that
is moving through you.
If you're, you know, you knowpracticing cooking or baking,
you're gonna have a new ideasthat come through as you're in
the kitchen, as you're tendingthat muse.
Or if it's like, wow, I'm doingdifferent embodiment practices
(29:51):
and connecting in with myselfand feeling good, like you know,
usually, yeah, you know, whenyou have like good intimacy or
good sexual experiences, it'slike, oh well, I want more.
You know it's not always like,okay, I'm good, I'm good now for
you know, but it's like, oh,now I'm more hungry.
Like now, I'm like it's likeawakening your inner dragon in a
(30:13):
way of like your inner muse andand allowing for that to be
expressed, and so it's likeconsciously choosing what parts
do I want to awaken.
How can I tend that flame andfire and and give it love?
Speaker 1 (30:30):
So something that you mentioned that I'm really
curious about is, you know, whenI think about all of these
parts and when I think, okay, sothey've all been well fed.
You know, I've had some deepwork in listening to them and
understanding how each of them,how I can play with each of them
, how they inform me and my life, and, and then I'm really
(30:51):
curious when you bring it alltogether, something you said
really struck me of, of course,I'm very similar in that way of
as I've integrated my lifeexperiences.
I'm kind of like, okay, cool,so now that I want to share it,
right, and you said somethingthat really struck me, which was
how can I speak in a way thatwill be met?
And it brought to mind theinner critic, which I feel, like
(31:13):
you know, when we talk aboutunleashing our inner muse,
there's I feel like it sort ofgoes in hand in hand is like
there's going to be the innercritic who's going to be like
don't, don't put that part ofyou out there, because you're
going to be judged, you're goingto be, and I feel like it also
it's like inner critic.
And then, with this kind of work, is also sort of tied in with
the witch wound as well, whichis I'm super fascinated with
(31:37):
your experience on which,because it seems like you've
really taken it on as achallenge of, instead of saying
like I'm being persecuted orinstead of saying like I'm the
victim, here, you've been ableto kind of switch your
perspective to say like okay, sohow?
So clearly I can approach it inthis way, but how can I, how can
I sort of shift, how I'msharing all of these aspects of
(32:00):
myself and tell me a little bitabout what that is for you and
how you even approach doing that?
Because I feel like, also in mymind, it's this sort of
constant battle of like I wantto be creative, I want to allow
the muse to flow through me andat the same time, there is that
fear, the inner critic, of beinglike okay, but how is it going
(32:20):
to be received?
And then it it's, it's, yeah,it's like a challenge, do you
know?
So, yeah, I'm really justcurious for you what that, what
that has been like, yeah, I mean, it hasn't been easy.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
I don't think it's easy for anybody and I think,
like there's like first, likehaving empathy and creating
space for for us to even go intolike that wound is real and to
feel like the depth and the painof that.
Because, like that's totallywhat happened when I had my
Instagram shut down.
It was like this deep whichwound I felt myself like getting
burned at the stake and I waslike, like my finances, you know
(32:54):
, I would be able to launch acourse and like now, all of a
sudden, I don't even like people, like it was my resume, my
portfolio, my connection, likeall of this stuff just gone.
And yeah, I made the choice.
I was like, all right, this ishappening for me and it's, it's
been a journey.
Like I definitely still feellike sometimes, like the writers
block around showing up onInstagram.
(33:14):
Like that's not.
I mean, I'm like, all right,that's a little danger zone,
yeah, you know.
And it's like okay, how can wealso learn from these
experiences?
How can we connect in with ourinner critic and not be like, oh
God, my inner critic sucks,they're keeping me from sharing
my voice, but instead, oh, whoa,like where can I safely share
(33:35):
my voice.
How can I create that safety inmy life?
Thank you, inner critic, fortrying to protect me and keep me
safe.
Oh, my God, I love, I love you.
Thank you, I hear you and it'slike, okay, maybe it's like, you
know, like a big thing for meis I want to come more into my
sharing my voice and likesinging and music, like that's
such an edge, but that's like,oh, I want it.
And so it's like, okay, how canI create, you know,
(33:58):
environments where it's safe forme to do that?
Maybe it's living alone andhaving the privacy to channel
that, maybe it's song circles oryou know a space where I can be
my full, weird wild self, orgoing to nude hot springs where
I can be naked outside, orliving in a place where I can do
that, but it's like it's safefor me.
(34:19):
And I think it's important toallow for ourselves to feel the
victim experience and it's alsoimportant to allow ourselves to
feel the empowered experienceand to make the choices, like
going forward and be like, okay,I get to create this pathway
and I like to zoom into, likethe micro and the macro and all
(34:41):
the different things and seelike, okay, I'm creating a new
neuronal pathway by like makingthis choice and like choosing
this and like resourcing andfeeling the safety and the love
and the belonging and all that.
But then also like zooming outand looking at like oh, we're
all aspects again of these partsof consciousness and like how
(35:02):
can we work together?
Because maybe it's not safe forthat other person, for me to be
this like wildly liberatedperson out in public, because
now that's going to totally likeshift their reality and their
child is going to be like, oh myGod, like Mom, why was this
woman naked, you know?
(35:24):
And now they have to, you know.
It's like maybe that's part oflike the liberation and like
creating experiences for people,like I trust in that.
But also it's like how can wemeet our reality in a way that
creates harmony?
And like zooming out even moreand it's like, okay, like
cultures and countries, and andthen like I don't know if you've
ever seen like those like reelswhere it shows like you know,
(35:47):
like I just saw one a coupledays ago and that's like what's
coming in is like zooming outand seeing like earth, and then
like just like it keeps goingout into, like the galaxies and
all these things.
But then we also can like, zoomway into, like the micro, and
you know when we can zoom outand be like, oh, whoa, we're all
like functioning and workingtogether, and so I think it can
be easy to like, feel like mythis news is like, oh, it needs
(36:11):
to be seen and expressed in thisway, but actually like whoa,
what if we're all collectivenews and like how can we meet
all the different parts and howcan?
But?
And then it's like, how can wecreate the safety for this part
to be expressed in a safe waywhere it's gonna be loved and
celebrated, you know, with myfamily or friends or whatever,
(36:35):
and then also get to have likeharmony, because that's where
it's like, yeah, I think it's,it's super, it's a balance of
finding where do we get tocreate the ruffles and the waves
and shake things up to Breakout of patterns and
conditionings that are no longerserving, and when do we get to
(36:55):
like, realize, whoa, my wavesare actually creating harm or
like.
And then it's like, you know,when we bring the tontric
philosophy, everything's part ofconsciousness, we're all doing
our thing, like Trust, and thenit's like all right spirit on
this mother earth, whatever youknow, I think it's, it's
(37:16):
creating that balance.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
It's interesting because the next question I want
to ask feels as if it may havea very similar answer and I'm
gonna ask it anyway.
Okay, let's go for it.
So in that sort of same I don'tknow vein, what I heard, what I
would, I, part of what Ireceived was also just like the
importance of Doing, doing whatyou can for yourself, sort of
(37:41):
outside of the expectation ofsharing it.
That was part of what I, what Ireceived.
And then what I'm interested inis shifting into when you are
ready to share aspects of yournews, of your work, of literally
your work, and something yousaid is also it's not wanting
knowing when to kind of createthose waves and then also
(38:01):
knowing when perhaps you mightbe creating more harm.
And and I'm really curious foryou and in your work, because I,
from what I know of your work,it's it's extremely useful and I
feel so many women and peoplecould greatly benefit from this
work.
And I also see how, potentially,if someone, I guess like I
(38:23):
don't say not ready for it, butit's almost like I guess what
I'm interested in understandingis like, from your perspective,
is there a way of are youinterested in sort of feeding
people a little bit like kind oflike the baby food is like okay
.
So here's like a little bit myfriend and welcome in, or and or
.
Are you also interested in justbeing like full wave, my friend
(38:46):
?
Like I'm not, I'm not here tocensor myself, like this is the
full thing, because I'm reallyjust I'm interested in this sort
of idea because I alsounderstand that for some people
they need the baby steps.
But then I'm also curious iffor you, where you are in your
work and in your life now, I'minterested in who are you
serving?
Speaker 2 (39:07):
yeah, does that make sense?
Totally.
So I think you know I'veexperienced like fully go for it
, rip the bandaid off, wildstuff.
Also experienced like thereally slow titration and like
resourcing and making sure thenervous system is on board and
all the parts are like on boardand all that.
(39:29):
And you know now, like havingmore trauma, informed Awareness
and all these different things.
I'm like, yeah, okay, slow isgood and like I love jumping in
the going for it, like that'slike my personal thing.
I'm like I want to learn thisthing.
Let me sign up for a month longintensive or word of the I'm
(39:51):
doing and you know and I thinkit's up to the individual and
that's the way I work with myclients is like, what is your
window of tolerance?
Are you going to be able toJump into this?
Are you gonna be able tointegrate this?
Are is, what are your resources?
Are you able to like show upand share your voice and are you
(40:13):
able to handle like perhapspeople Shaming you are coming at
you or do we need to like firstwork on building up that safety
Like and so it's so it's uniqueto the individual and what
their capacity is, and also, youknow, for the people that are
like more adrenaline junkies,that are like give me that next
time and go to this intensiveretreat.
(40:37):
Like I have a tendency offalling into that pattern and I
would like recognizing where areour patterns, yeah, and maybe
creating some new ones.
For me it was really themedicine is in slowing, you know
slowing down and I love thatand now that's like you know, a
lot of my work with my clientsis like we go slow, I'm into the
(41:00):
titration and all that, andthen also like there's people
that are like yo, brittany, I'mready to like do this?
Can I come out for a three dayretreat with you, one on one,
deep dive, like oh, yeah, I'mlike so for that, and then
bringing in like the the youknow nervous system regulation
at the same time.
I think that's, you know, it'sreally the important part is
(41:20):
that is the nervous systemregulation, because if you're
just like diving in and you'redisconnected, like you're not
going to get the magic out of itand you're actually going to
like you know, burn out youradrenals and like have
consequences with that.
But you know like if you arelike people that are going to
like plant medicine, ceremony,plant medicine, you know they're
not like doing the integration,like that's, you know that's
(41:43):
also not serving and so it'slike how can you stay within
your window of tolerance withoutDisassociating or creating more
harm or whatever, but havinglike your inner allies.
If you want to like work withsome like Awakening parts of
yourself that are like innerprotectors, and like you know
what, you're gonna get up onthat stage and you're gonna sing
(42:04):
, and this isn't about being thebest singer, this is about you
just sharing and speaking orgiving your gift and like being
there and, like you know,feeling that support and make
you know, if it's your firstperformance, making sure you
have, you know, inviting yourfriends and being like this is
important for you to show up sothey are there, and like
creating the environment for youto be able to express and share
(42:26):
, if you're in a muse, to beEmbodied and lived, while having
the safety is, you know, thatis the baseline we need.
We need the safety, like that'salways come back to that over
and over again.
Create the safety and then thelove and the belonging and then,
yeah, you'll have the selfactualization and the magical
(42:48):
experience of if you know thatso many people are after create
the safety.
Speaker 1 (42:54):
yeah, I love that.
I love that I'm gonna becarrying that with me.
