Stop trying to fit in: Authenticity, wholeness and coming home to yourself with Mary Bell

the growth portal podcast

Show Notes

It is such a breath of fresh air speaking to someone who isso authentic (yes pun intended, as Mary is a neurosomatic breath therapist). We get into some wise and juicy topics during this chat (an odd pairing of adjectives, but very apt).

We look at how triggers are powerful tools for inner work, how embracing the parts of ourselves we have been hiding leads to the most liberation, how Mary navigated a toxic business relationship, and what success truly is/ might be. Having grown up traditional Christian, Mary also shares some epic stories of her experience with Jesus, and how she has formed her own, unique relationship with him outside of her traditional upbringing.

I also just finished her new book, which was so enlightening(even for me having trained in breathwork!) I loved how Mary emphasised building a relationship with the breath - dropping the performance or trying to breathe ‘perfectly’ and instead committing to getting to know your breath, and consequently, your patterns.

So, if you’re ready to stop abandoning yourself to fit inand start embracing more of who you really are, this one’s for you.

If you want to find more of Mary and her offerings (book,breath/ sound sessions, silent discos etc) you can follow her @freetobreathe_or her website www.befreetobreathe.com
