Brooke Heym is a mother, entrepreneur, sexual empowerment and intimacy coach, public speaker, musician, and a survivor of many forms of abuse. Brooke\\u2019s mission is to help people learn how to reestablish sexuality into a positive part of their life and begins by sharing with us how shame and creativity are often related.

Brooke\\u2019s experience of sexual trauma began when she was 8 years old, with her stepfather. With the abuse lasting into her teenage years, she explains the fault that he placed on her and how it impacted her way of thinking about her worth and power. She believed that she was responsible for her childhood abuse and broken family and that it was engrained in her that her purpose was to be hurt. Having experienced date rape and divorcing from three abusive marriages by the age of 27, Brooke gets vulnerable and speaks about her experience trying to stop the abuse from happening but not actually being able to stop it. Brooke talks about boundaries and making the profound decision to stand up for yourself or be the victim. She shares her experience reporting her abuser to the police and the group counseling she participated in that included bringing in perpetrators to share what goes on in their minds. Having her daughter was a turning point for Brooke in the sense that she realized she didn\\u2019t want her daughter to experience what she went through, so she went to therapy to work through that as well.\\xa0

\\u201cYour brain challenges to heal further.\\u201d

Brooke wanted to learn how to engage in intimacy without it bringing up pain and being traumatic, so getting a mentor and discovering how to heal the way she connected with herself was monumental. She learned how to revisit trauma and associate new meaning to it instead of seeing herself as someone who deserved to be hurt. She began to see strength and value in herself and utilize the continuous opportunity for reevaluation that comes from pushing yourself to understand and heal.\\xa0

Brooke\\u2019s clientele is made of up people who have experienced sexual trauma and people who grew up thinking that sex is bad and shameful. She gives powerful advice for moms who have experienced trauma and abuse, emphasizing the importance of never judging your feelings, but feeling them and letting them pass through. She brings up using meditative masturbation to reprogram the brain to be in a different space during sexually intimate moments and the other practices she teaches her clients during her retreats, one-on-one sessions, and group Zoom sessions. The main motivating question underlining Brooke\\u2019s entire life is: what is the key to resilience? Tune in to hear her break down her answer and talk about the book that impacted her life the most.\\xa0

\\u201cWe can have all the knowledge in the world, but it is not our knowledge that will heal us, it is our feelings that will heal us."
