Shine Brighter: A Journey to Healing with Yolanda Brooks

Listen Later

In this enlightening episode, join me for a wonderful conversation with Yolanda Brooks, a somatic therapist, circle facilitator, NLP life coach, and wild writing guide. Through her business, Letting The Light In, Yolanda delves into the depths of our childhood stories and explores how they shape our relationships and communication patterns.


  • Ever wondered what somatic therapy is? Yolanda breaks it down in simple terms and explains how it helps heal old wounds.
  • Finding the right therapist or coach can feel like finding a needle in a haystack. Yolanda shares tips on how to make this journey a bit easier.
  • Yolanda gets real about her own struggles with feeling down and anxious. She opens up about three things that really helped her: hypnotherapy, a book called "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle, and writing down her thoughts and feelings.
  • Our brains are wired to keep us safe, but sometimes that means staying stuck. Yolanda shares insights on how we can break free from these patterns.
  • Words are powerful! Yolanda talks about how we can choose to let go of hurtful words and emotions, and not let them define us.
  • Yolanda shares a touching story about how she and her partner worked through tough times by talking openly and taking responsibility for their own past hurts.
  • Learn about a special kind of writing called subconscious writing and how getting together with other women in sister circles can be incredibly healing.

    • Join us for a chat that's all about healing, understanding, and letting more light into your life.
