Biography
Hello, I am Marci Brockmann. I want to introduce myself. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been writing and drawing and painting to express myself and make sense of the world around me. I’ve been keeping journals for 35+ years as a way to process the psychologically challenging experiences and situations I found myself in growing up with familial mental illness and addiction, and the behavioral templates for relationships I developed in response. Over 30 years of therapy and my quest for the WHYS behind behavior and the HOWS that motivate change, have given me the tools of resilience and tenacity to create the life I want for myself. Like many of you, I’m an emotional abuse survivor and that is the basis for my memoir– PERMISSION TO LAND: SEARCHING FOR LOVE, HOME & BELONGING, and the companion journal/ workbook PERMISSION TO LAND: PERSONAL TRANSFORMATION THROUGH WRITING. And my Facebook group, PERMISSION TO HEAL – SAFE TO FLY, which is open to the public. Come find us and join in on the fun and healing conversations. My mission is to empower people to make sense of their past, trust their authentic selves, nurture each other to fully blossom, and create meaningful lives filled with love, home, and belonging. I’m here to serve you and be of benefit to you. PERMISSION TO HEAL, my podcast, is built on a foundation of love, a passion for what’s possible, and a commitment to be an unstoppable force for good. I am in this to make a difference, to help learn to trust your inner voice, to help you reach the highest levels of your creative potential and tap into the deepest wisdom within you. No matter what your dreams or obstacles, you have the power to change your life and, by doing so, you’ll change the world. Together, we give ourselves permission to release our trauma and use our voices to inspire connection, empathy, and wholehearted wellness. I want you to find the courage to transform yourself no matter what others tell you. Only you can give yourself permission to trust yourself, permission to follow your heart and desires, and build a life of love, home, and belonging. We can learn new things each day and expand our ideas about what it means to live a fully creative and meaningful life of love, home, and belonging. We only need our own permission to begin. Personally, I am a born-and-raised passionate Long Island girl with an indomitable spirit, a nurturing heart, an inquisitive mind, and a keen interest in other people’s stories. My husband and I, having two kids each when we married almost four years ago, makes me the mother of four, and grandmother, or Mimi, to five. Our wonderful, blended family is quirky, silly, dramatic, diverse, and filled with love. I am also passionate about a multitude of seemingly unconnected things: writing, visual art, psychology, entrepreneurship, creativity, spirituality, education, and philanthropy, just to name a few. My journey to find a meaningful career started in publishing and spanned quite a few different industries from which I learned invaluable skills: public relations, non-profit fundraising, computer graphic art, advertising, fine art, wedding and portrait photography, men’s fashion, and education as a college professor and high school English teacher. I found myself in the front of the classroom – blooming into life in 3D through teaching which I’ve been doing for over 25 years and LOVE it! My unusual combination of interests and skills has been a strength and enriches my life and everything I do and share. I make mistakes, have dark days, and get mired in fear and self-doubt, just like the rest of humanity, but my commitment is to bring you the very best of living and learning while keeping it real and honest, to discover through curiosity, questioning and sharing our stories what makes us tick, brings us joy, inspires self-discovery and healing. In LISTENING to PERMISSION TO HEAL, you can expect thought-provoking ideas, timeless wisdom, some inspirational and relatable stories, and unwavering devotion to help you live your most expressive and meaningful life. Thank you so much for taking the time to listen to my podcast and reading my book. I’m thrilled we’re connected and I’m excited about the journey ahead.
