Episode 9 – It’s Okay to Cry with Bronte Spicer

By Bronte Spicer | December 16, 2021

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.

It’s Okay to Cry provides a profound insight into how living with depression can look and feel and shines a light on how taking a body-based approach can change your life.

Bronte passionately teaches why and how to feel downright terrifying feelings. It set her free, after all. For 22 years, she thought she would live with depression forever. But it turned out, all she was missing was some vital somatic tools to feel safe in her body.

Bronte empowers individuals and teams of professionals to skillfully shift from being stuck in their head to safe in their body, comfortable in their skin and resourced from within to handle anything that life throws them.

A natural inspiration who is willing to share vulnerable stories, Bronte caters for the needs of both individuals and groups, as they learn to gently sit, feel and heal.

Bronte is a powerful healer, offering single KI and healing sessions, a deep guided 1:1 spiritual journey in the Diamond Mentorship and monthly Shamanic Immersions on djadjawurrung country. She is the author of It’s Okay to Cry: The Gentle Way to Dissolving Depression and award-winning writer for Elephant Journal. She is the host of her own podcast, ‘It’s Okay to Cry’, featuring the untold stories of individual somatic successes from people around the world.

Bronte has facilitated professional development wellbeing workshops and programs to companies, schools and organisations including Westpac, Spiritual Care Australia, Weeroona College and Spring Gully PS to improve wellbeing through feeling.

She holds a Bachelor of Education/Bachelor of Sport and Outdoor Recreation, Advanced Certificate in Guiding and Teaching Meditation and is certified as Reiki Level II Practitioner and Kiloby Inquiries Facilitator.

Bronte believes we need people to know how to feel, not feel better, but to feel the full spectrum of emotions we experience through life. Learning to feel brings connection, authentic expression, joy and purpose to lead fulfilling lives and requires skillful, compassionate somatic inquiry.
