Brad Whitfield is a poet, yoga instructor, breathwork facilitator, and sound healer based on the Gold Coast, Australia. Originally from Sydney, Brad grew up in a culture where emotional expression—especially for men—was often misunderstood as weakness. His work seeks to challenge that idea, exploring the quiet strength found in softness, surrender, and self-discovery. His debut poetry collection, Soft and Weak, was born from heartbreak and healing, with the first words landing on the page after the ending of a relationship and the vision for the book taking shape during a silent Vipassana meditation retreat. Through raw, introspective verse, Brad invites readers to explore the beauty in letting go and the courage it takes to truly feel. When he's not writing, Brad holds space for others through movement, meditation, and sound, helping people reconnect with their bodies, breath, and emotional truths. His poetry is an extension of that same mission—to remind us that softness is not the absence of strength, but the most powerful form of it.
