ABOUT BRE
Hi there, I’m bre,
Your resident Religious Trauma Coach and Ex-Christian Cult Member.
When I left the Christian cult I grew up in for the last time over 10 years ago, I had no plans to ever ascribe to any faith.
I had spent pretty much my entire life (since I was 6 or 7) in that church & community, and all I knew about faith and God was what I had been brainwashed to believe – he was vindictive, unapproachable and to be feared.
I honestly don’t think I’d ever had my own personal spiritual connection to God that didn’t feel like I was just trying to walk the straight and narrow line that I had been told was “THE WAY”.
When my oldest kiddo was 12, we were living up north in Ontario, Canada for about 6 months. It was probably the worst winter of my life (and I hate winters generally lol), but I was so focused on my own depression that I didn’t see what was happening with my kiddo.
Something pretty catastrophic happened that jolted me out of my own head and made me realize that I needed to make some huge changes or I was going to continue perpetuating the SAME PATTERNS that I had been raised with.
One memory that is very clear and top of mind for me on this journey was after we had moved “back home” where both of our families lived. Kids and I were in therapy, we had regular family nights and I had begun truly healing so I could be a better human and mama.
One day, I was out driving with my oldest and I was listening to the book “Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents” and there was a story being told & she laughed a little and said “I would have said this was you not too long ago, but not anymore”.
In that moment I knew all the hard, grueling, sometimes what felt like thankless work I was putting into my healing was not only WORTH IT, but it was working. I had a tangible piece of evidence in that short interaction with her!
I was able to begin healing through a lot of inner personal work on my own, through therapy and life coaches and by being committed to doing the work even when it was SUPER uncomfortable. Sooo many times I’ve wondered if I’d ever “get there” while I was screaming into pillows and crying all the tears it is possible to have.
Now, this is MY experience and MY journey... Yours will look different.
But I promise you that it is NEVER too late to begin healing, growing & seeing the tangible effects it will have on your kids & family.
What I do here is NOT copy and paste, I’m not just going to advise you to take the same steps I took so you can get that result… But I WILL help you heal parts of yourself so you can heal your relationships & see the difference it can make in a truly tangible way, by taking YOUR unique journey to get there, through coaching.
A LITTLE MORE ABOUT ME
When I’m not sitting behind the computer, I enjoy trying out lattes of the season, binge-watching TV shows or movies and reading a good book or playing the piano.
The piano (or music in general) is my spirit animal and rose gold is my most favourite glittery object.
I currently live in Nova Scotia on the coast with my partner Graham and our 4 kids, bringing to life my dream to surround myself with chickens, goats and horses.
