In this episode of Pure Curiosity I speak with trauma coach and survivor Nate Postlethwait on his experience with religious trauma, and his recovery from the abuses he experienced in childhood. After disclosing his experiences of sexual abuse, Nate was told he needed to repent and was pushed into conversion therapy, where he was forbidden to discuss important aspects of his trauma and identity for many years. Over time, Nate realized he needed a very different kind of support for his recovery, and eventually found his way to inner child work. This is a very candid and powerful conversation about the traumatic underbelly of religious fundamentalism, and finding healing on your own terms.About Our Guest:A few years ago Nate Postlethwait walked away from a highly successful career in real estate in order to give himself a reset and find more understanding in his life. He sold his home and everything with it and traveled throughout the world for several months. During his travels, he began publicly sharing his journey of healing from childhood trauma and the battles with his mental health. Quickly, a community began to form. Other survivors began sharing their stories in the comments section. That community has quickly grown to over 120k and continues to have thousands of new friends join weekly.Nate has lead sold out webinars on inner child work and most recently, written a four week course on this work and offers multiple weekly q & a's that help share stories from within this survivor community. On the weekends, he posts the funniest memes sent in from those who follow along and does a segment on "My worst possible advice" where others write in what they want advice on. He describes himself as a loud introvert, but also incredibly tender hearted to those who are hurting and need help. His life mission is to help those who need trauma informed therapy find it in a way that is accessible and affordable. He is an avid traveler, but proudly calls Denver, CO home.Visit Nate's WebsiteFollow Nate on Instagram

Brooke Heym is a mother, entrepreneur, sexual empowerment and intimacy coach, public speaker, musician, and a survivor of many forms of abuse. Brooke’s mission is to help people learn how to reestablish sexuality into a positive part of their life and begins by sharing with us how shame and creativity are often related.Brooke’s experience of sexual trauma began when she was 8 years old, with her stepfather. With the abuse lasting into her teenage years, she explains the fault that he placed on her and how it impacted her way of thinking about her worth and power. She believed that she was responsible for her childhood abuse and broken family and that it was engrained in her that her purpose was to be hurt. Having experienced date rape and divorcing from three abusive marriages by the age of 27, Brooke gets vulnerable and speaks about her experience trying to stop the abuse from happening but not actually being able to stop it. Brooke talks about boundaries and making the profound decision to stand up for yourself or be the victim. She shares her experience reporting her abuser to the police and the group counseling she participated in that included bringing in perpetrators to share what goes on in their minds. Having her daughter was a turning point for Brooke in the sense that she realized she didn’t want her daughter to experience what she went through, so she went to therapy to work through that as well. “Your brain challenges to heal further.”Brooke wanted to learn how to engage in intimacy without it bringing up pain and being traumatic, so getting a mentor and discovering how to heal the way she connected with herself was monumental. She learned how to revisit trauma and associate new meaning to it instead of seeing herself as someone who deserved to be hurt. She began to see strength and value in herself and utilize the continuous opportunity for reevaluation that comes from pushing yourself to understand and heal. Brooke’s clientele is made of up people who have experienced sexual trauma and people who grew up thinking that sex is bad and shameful. She gives powerful advice for moms who have experienced trauma and abuse, emphasizing the importance of never judging your feelings, but feeling them and letting them pass through. She brings up using meditative masturbation to reprogram the brain to be in a different space during sexually intimate moments and the other practices she teaches her clients during her retreats, one-on-one sessions, and group Zoom sessions. The main motivating question underlining Brooke’s entire life is: what is the key to resilience? Tune in to hear her break down her answer and talk about the book that impacted her life the most. “We can have all the knowledge in the world, but it is not our knowledge that will heal us, it is our feelings that will heal us."Connect with Brooke Heym:To book a FREE 90 minute Initial Discovery Session, visit her website: www.brookeheym.com Find her on Facebook: www.facebook.com/brookeheym Follow her on Instagram: www.instagram.com/brookeheym Email her: brooke@brookeheym.com Connect with the host, Tiffany Barnes:Listen to more episodes of Speak LOUD: www.speakloudpodcast.com Visit my non-profit’s website: www.sharethemovement.org Follow me on Instagram: www.instagram.com/speakloudpodcast

June is self-worth month here on the podcast. We started off talking with the UK's leading confidence coach and transformational mentor, Amy Rushworth, as she shared some of her story and talked about how finding your voice is in direct relation to self-confidence and developing your self-worth. After that, we shared some thoughts on how you are the one that gets to define who you are, and what you're about; your worth is not dependent on anyone or anything. So if you haven’t checked out those two episodes you’ll want to go back after this one and give em a listen.Continuing on with the self-worth theme, we’re talking with returning guest and friend, Brian Cardoza. Brian is an author, artist, and national speaker, using his platform to help share the message of his survivor story and encourage both men and women to take that first step of seeking help to work through a traumatic past.Brian’s message of hope, presented in such an authentic, genuine, and down-to-earth way, is inspiring because he’s able to relate to the unique struggles that survivors go through, including the silence and shame that keeps them stuck and feeling unable to reach out for help.We talk with Brian about his survivor story and get into a deep discussion about the struggles of survivors who are trying to find their voice and reach out for help. Throughout our chat, with Brian, you’ll notice how we use some well-timed, and improvisational humor to help illustrate that while this work is deep, powerful, difficult, and necessary, there is hope in healing and all of that work hard pays off.Plus, near the end of the podcast, in true Brian Cardoza form, he drops a nugget of wisdom that will result in a future episode on the topic of bringing awareness to "coercive rape" and the pressure that both men and women feel when it comes to intimacy. Believe me, friend, this one will definitely cause you to pause and ponder his take on this delicate subject.

David and Chunjay discuss where they are and what they are doing for the weekend. David discusses the ups and downs of therapy. On the collapse of silence. What is lacking? Sometimes it’s not stuff. On living within the evangelical subculture. Discussing whiskey. On Jamey and David’s friendship, and the wisdom David imparted to him. On sharing stories. David is working on a project called Postmodern Hymns. On Christianity and Art. On the narrative of faith giving way to the narrative of consumption. On how Christian music has become a safe soccer mom thing. On John Reuben saying “shit” on his new record. Lots of other stuff. :) Kenosis - about emptying, not acquiring knowledge. On success vs. vulnerability. On being helpful to friends. Great lines from David: “Sex is a gift or a curse, depending on how you handle it.” “Maybe postmodernity and consumption are not the best thing for the soul.” “I’m an older guy trying to figure out, ‘What is my legacy?’” “I get to be around children a lot. I find that the older I get, the more and more children make. They’re still vibrant about life.” “In ancient cultures, there was a lot more storytelling, and people had those stories inform them.” “As the consumption became more important than the proclamation, the proclamation got dumbed down, and the consumption went up, and so now it’s bad art, and it’s trying to talk about God simultaneously. It’s like, oh, crap, we don’t need more of this.” “Any guy who wants to walk in integrity with his sexuality knows that he needs assistance.” “I think self is much more communal. It’s not just communal in the sense of you’re meant to be a part of something bigger than yourself. You don’t become yourself until you understand you’re a part of something bigger than yourself. There’s a mutuality to it.” “What part of my life am I in denial about? Because I think somehow what has happened to me in the past when I did those things, it wouldn’t happen again. What would lead me to believe that I could somehow bypass that? And when somebody tells you the story of where they’re at, it’s a reminder of their mutual vulnerability.” “Our culture doesn’t teach us to wait for the good stuff.” “I was trying to act like I was angry, because that was what I was told to do. The truth is, I had to get in touch with how pervasive those acts had…affected me, made me afraid of people, made me stand-offish, made me fearful of intimacy, made me distrustful of EVERYBODY. I’m talking at a deep level. Physically distrustful.” “And of course it fed into some of my weaknesses, like rather than be in a healthy sexual relationship, I would be more of a voyeur. I would stand apart. I didn’t know how to be in my body, because I left my body as a 6 year old kid.” “I’ve had to realize that not going to that place and processing that was very dangerous for my soul. I didn’t know it, but it was forming in me this sense that I was what happened to me.” “And we often tend to think like we are what happened to us. So if somebody divorces me unfairly, if someone abuses me unfairly, fires us unfairly, says something to us that’s unfair, there’s this part of us, the little kid inside, ‘Well, I guess that’s who I am.’ And then we start making decisions that affirm that. And then one day we wake up and find that we’re the perpetrator that hurt us.” “Now, it’s more of a protecting myself by believing what’s beautiful about me, what’s beautiful and true. And not what’s dark and hidden.” “Before I was trying to be angry because people would say, ‘Oh, he’s working on it.’” “Do you like tacos?” “Look at me, sure.” Lines from Chunjay: “The intent and context. I played a couple of ‘Christian’ shows this summer, and I really am trying to avoid doing that. The must that I am writing now belongs in bars and breweries, and coffee shops where adults are. And I remember playing my first youth group in more than a decade. And I cut two songs out. It’s not that I said anything that was technically wrong, but gosh, our lead song is ‘The Waitress Song,’ and we talk about drinking rum and Coke, and asking the waitress for her phone number, and that is not what I’m trying to put in front of 14 years old.” What are we drinking: David Bunker: Riesling Wine Jamey Bennett: 1816 Chattanooga Whiskey, a Yuengling David Bunker’s info: Find him on Facebook, and look up the notes if you friend him.
