Revisiting Cath Brew - Can you hear what your body is telling you?

In this Pride Month episode, Trisha revisits her powerful conversation with Cath Brew, a global LGBTQ+ consultant and shamanic practitioner who brings a unique somatic perspective to cultural intelligence. Cath explores how our bodies often communicate cultural awareness before our minds catch up, offering practical alternatives to traditional mindfulness approaches.The conversation delves into Cath's profound shift moment about learning to trust her intuition, her insights from working with Aboriginal culture in Australia, and her approach to navigating difficult LGBTQ+ conversations through body awareness. Cath's beautiful metaphor of building boardwalks between communities offers practical wisdom for anyone seeking to understand across cultural divides.What makes this episode special is Trisha's guided exercise at the end, where listeners practice Cath's technique of noticing physical responses to cultural difference, giving feelings colour, texture, and size to transform them into actionable insights. Whether you're comfortable with traditional reflection methods or seeking alternative approaches to cultural intelligence, this episode offers tools for recognising when your body signals cultural discomfort.Connect with Cath on LinkedIn and ask her to send her free resource to help guide your physical and emotional observations.
