Throwing Light

Brandy Walker

The opposite of throwing shade, TL explores the intersection of spirituality and mental health. With a hefty dose of metaphysics and a whole lot of vulnerability, TL asks questions like: What does it mean to co-create with the universe? Does magic exist? What can ordinary people do about the great injustices of our time? What does living a meaningful life look like? Can we make coffee a food group? Host Brandy Walker attempts to answer these questions, and start new conversations about old paradigms, all while being her awkward, adorable self.

    From the Vault: What We Believe, Part 5

    I have long considered myself a nomad. In 15 years, I've lived in at least 15 homes. But something happened along the way. The more I moved, the harder it became. We're moving again in two weeks and I'm feeling it. And so I've had to a LOT of inner work lately to keep myself going. I know I'm not the only one who struggles with this from time to time. So I thought it'd be helpful for this series to talk about what survival mode looks like—and what you can do if you find yourself there. Question of the episode: What is blocking you from receiving?

    There are two kinds of people—those who never cry and those who cry all the time. If you fall into the first camp, then you probably need a good cry. If you fall in the second camp . . . then you probably need a good cry. There are two kinds of people—those who never cry and those who cry all the time. If you fall into the first camp, then you probably need a good cry. If you fall in the second camp . . . then you probably need a good cry. In this episode, I talk about how bad I am at listening to my body—and why it's so important that we do listen. I talk about how it's often as simple as getting the blood pumping or getting the tears flowing. I also touch on trauma and PTSD and what to do if we have disassociated from our bodies. And, as always, all of this comes with deep, deep self compassion. So much love.

    When I recorded this episode—the Monday morning before it posted—I was waiting impatiently for my social work license. By the time I started editing it a couple of hours later, I had gotten the email that I am officially an LMSW! It was especially meaningful because of the subject of this particular episode. It's a raw one. I share my process as I have been working through the journey of figuring out the scripts in my subconscious and attempting to align them with what my conscious mind knows to be true. It's full of self-discovery that I hope you'll find helpful on your journey. As promised, below are some helpful places to start with EFT if you're interested. Hope you enjoy!

    I've been gathering this research for a while, but for the longest time I was steeped in imposter syndrome and afraid I was not smart enough/good enough/had strong enough beliefs to share (ironic, I know). I've been working on it, though. And I've decided to just dive in. So here we go!
