How to step into the authentic version of you with Matthew Bruce

Welcome to episode 5 of the Intuitive Business Podcast with Seeking Wilder. 

This episode is for those who are wanting to step into the authentic version of themselves. 

In this episode Courtney speaks with Matt Bruce from The Course Collective, about all things being a healthy man in integrity, wanting to show up for community through being embodied in sexuality and having an open heart. 

Matthew Bruce is a former Australian soldier turned meditation teacher. With deployments to Afghanistan and with time spent supporting the special forces, he struggled to integrate back into society and suffered from PTSD for a number of years. Through a combination of holistic practises, he was able to rediscover his love for himself and others around him. He moved to Bali with his partner Ruth to take responsibility for his mental health and to heal his relationship with the outside world. Matthew's words are written from the heart and life experience, having only read a small number of books since high school. He has battled with poor written skills for most of his adult life, so his first book was quite the triumph and opportunity for growth. He combines several self-taught quantum visualisations and meditation techniques to help you upgrade your life and take back control of your inner and outer worlds. Matthew has tried a vast range of holistic healing practice to heal from PTSD. He shares his understanding and experience with freely available healing techniques and how they relate to Soldiers and all humans suffering from trauma.

Matt is also the founder and creator of the Menswork Collective. He is helping his community and the globe to have the practical tools to build healthy relationships with themselves and with others. Matts second book went on to be an Amazon bestseller. He has also travelled Australia on a Men’s national suicided campaign. He communicates his message through transformation and insightful workshops and presentations. Matt has recently just worked with Microsoft in the USA and currently runs a somaitc online program to help men and women reconnect.

Matt is a Capricorn rising, which Courtney and Matt touch on regarding leadership, especially in relation to communication and how that links in with Matt’s Chiron (the wounded healer). Matt reflects on the communication struggles he’s faced and how he has overcome them. Courtney and Matt also speak on other placements that are in Matt’s personal chart, and how knowing them can assist in knowing himself better. Since Matt has 5 planets in Capricorn, his Capricorn energy is sprinkled throughout this entire episode.
