S2 E6 | Mary Allen's Mother's Mental Health Illness Was So Bad Mary Put Herself in Foster Care

#getreal #getfree #inspiration
Choosing foster care over living at home with her mother shaped Mary's life in a significant way. When her fiancé committed suicide in her 30's, Mary's life was shaken up radically again. But Mary did not let her fear or traumas stop her from living life.
When Mary discovered her calling to be a writer, she boldly declared: "I will be a writer and nothing will stop me." This was the beginning of everything good in her life.
Mary was proud to be accepted into the Iowa Writer's Workshop. In Iowa, she developed herself as a memoir writer. She used writing to make sense of her childhood and her fiance's death. She explored life after death, talking to the deceased, and even spent 7 exciting days in the psych ward. Mary has continued to heal through writing and many other healing modalities.
She makes a living as a writer and writing coach which is truly inspirational. Her writing took her on a spiritual and psychological healing journey which helped her overcome her grief and childhood fear.
Mary's experience with her mentally ill mother gives her a deep sensitivity to others. She is a professional writer and writing coach who has helped hundreds of other people become writers as well.
Join us in a spirited and fascinating conversation about Mary's life, her challenges, her tragedies, and her healing. Mary is happily writing and living in Iowa.
Mary can be found at maryallenwriter.com. Her books mentioned below are available on Amazon. She is currently writing her third book which will be released in the next year.
BIO:
Mary Allen is the author of The Deep Limitless Air: A Memoir in Pieces, published in May 2022 by Blue Light Press. Her literary memoir, The Rooms of Heaven, was published by Alfred A. Knopf and Vintage Books.
She is the recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts creative writing fellowship and has published short work on the Psychology Today website and in Poets and Writers, Tiferet, Real Simple, Library Journal, The Chaos, CNN Online, and in the anthology If I Don’t Make It, I Love You: Survivors in the Aftermath of School Shootings.
She has an MFA from the Iowa Writers’ Workshop and has taught in the University of Iowa’s nonfiction writing MFA program and the Iowa Summer Writing Festival at the University of Iowa. She currently makes a living as a writing coach and lives in Iowa City, Iowa.
Mary Allen’s themes are spiritual and psychological healing, love, the nature of life and death, and the ways our states of consciousness intersect with our experience of reality. Her writing — and the broad range of writing topics — reflect her belief that the personal and the practical, the painful and the numinous, the spiritual and the ordinary are all blended together in our lives and cannot be separated from one another without at least part of the truth being lost.

S2 E7 | Using Breath And Voice To Create Moments of Magic and Bliss with Brigitte Deneck

#getreal #getfree #inspiration
Brigitte Deneck was born in Northern France. She learned not to feel, talk or trust in her childhood home with her alcoholic father. She didn't see the impact of this until later in life. Brigitte studied in Paris during a time of upheaval on college campuses. One day, while in the university library, she watched local police beating college students outside her third story window.
This riot was the beginning of a historical shift and cultural transformation that occurred during the 1960's. Brigitte left her educational path to pursue her childhood passion of performance games. As the creativity of society blossomed, Brigitte participated in the US, France and then Poland, reveling in the new realms of theater being created. She loved when the audience and actors participated together, spontaneously bursting into song. This type of theater provided experiential learning, creating a transformation at the group level.
Brigitte's training in using her body led her to voice coaching. Seeing that her childhood trauma froze her ability to feel, talk or trust, she started learning to be free to be in her body and to be herself. She experienced a magic and bliss and wanted to share this with others. She trained to be a voice coach and has made a huge contribution to others for the last 20 years.
Her goal is to have people be empowered through authenticity of breath and voice AND authenticity of listening. Her commitment is to bring this work to as many people as possible, so they will be more aware of their power, be more authentic and not pretend in their bodies.
Brigitte can be found at BeYourVoice.co.uk. You can email her at BDeneck@beyourvoice.co.uk. She is offering a Free Taster (complimentary session) for people who email her as a result of seeing this show.
Bio:
As Brigitte grew up in northern France, she developed a passion for studies which led her to postgraduate studies in Politics in Paris, with a dream to become a journalist. What awaited her there in 1968 was actually a shift and a radical questioning of society and culture.
She wanted to let people know what was happening. But rather than journalism or politics which disappointed her, she chose to develop a path of personal development which she called Acting Dynamics.
She was also recovering from principles learned in childhood such as “Don’t Talk Don’t Trust Don’t Feel”, in group therapies. Then she discovered a physical discipline combining breath and voice which led to grounding, power, and direction. The authenticity of breath and voice is what she is now engaged in with an international team of colleagues and trainees.

S2 EP25 | Seeing Neurodiversity as a Gift Rather Than A Problem | Rachel Barwell

#getreal #getfree #realtalk
Rachel Barwell used to call herself "clumsy" as a child. Little did she know that she suffered from something called dyspraxia. She only found out later in life that this is something that be helped with specialized learning methods.
Rachel started her career as an adult educator in corporate, prisons and indigenous environments where she learned that a large percentage of people who struggled with learning had dyslexia or other learning differences. She began to specialize in this and is making a huge difference for people who never thought they would be able to read.
Imagine being a 69 year old successful politician who hid her dyslexia until Rachel taught her how to read. Imagine children who no longer drop out of school and end up in the prison system because they have learned to read.
Rachel, as a Davis methods facilitator, is changing the lives of people she works with. Her work has now spread to Kenya. Rachel is also involved with the Innovuntu project which is collaborating to make Zambia a thriving country.
Listen to this inspiring and educational interview with Rachel and please share it with people who have suffered with dyslexia or other neurodiversity.
Rachel Barwell hails from New Zealand in the South Pacific. Her commitments span global social justice, education, environmental and equity issues. An adult educator by training and profession, she now specializes in dyslexia education in New Zealand and with communities in Kenya. She also engages in community efforts to adapt to the changing climate and increase food security through regenerative farming practices.
She is a founding member of the InnoVuntu Initiative, designed to support stakeholders to create and fulfill the transformation of Zambia’s food system - a future where Zambia’s people, environment and economy are thriving in 2050. Rachel is also a founding member of the African Women’s Leadership and Mental Well-being Course, drawing together thousands of women from diverse backgrounds across Africa and the diaspora to engage in transformative leadership training.
