Let It In with Guy Lawrence


Mar 29, 2020

#119 My awesome guest this week is Brent Sankey. He is a boxing coach, ex front-line police officer, and a Live In Flow retreat attendee.
 
At first, you would think Brent is the last person to be looking at this work, but that couldn't be further from the truth. He hit rock bottom 12 months ago, and he openly shares why he dove head-on into this work and the difference it has made in his life since. Enjoy!

In Brents own words:

  • At 14yrs old - parents separated.   Remember thinking about suicide and voice said 'dont do it' who will look after dad and brothers high school didn't enjoy and got the whole 'I dont care' and 'never look back' mentality.
  • Bounced from job to job

  • Joined Qld Police in early nighties had nearly six years.  Saw a lot however never really felt that anything that happened or what I saw affected me.  All my issues were already firmly planted in me. I just knew in my heart I didn't want to stay.

  • Fast forward to various jobs/businesses seemed to always fall into the same issues of conflict and drama.

  • Spiritual lady - split me in two - tired soul

  • March last year was big turning point - broken - realised I help others,  but can't help myself
  • Booked the retreat before doing the course - trying to get the phone to work and your podcast popped up and said 'a few more spots left'

  • Came to your work - 4wk course and August retreat opened me up. Second retreat I 'really tapped in' to something.

  • Be vulnerable that is the key, take action, take responsibility and keep getting up.
