I’ve been thinking a lot about the school system lately, and honestly, I’m a little fired up. In this episode, I talk about how growing up in a system built around tests, rubrics, and one-shot assessments shaped my fear of getting things wrong. When you only get one chance to prove yourself, it makes sense that you start playing it safe. I share how that mindset followed me into adulthood, how it...

Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about the phase of life right before you have kids. In this episode, I talk about how easy it is to rush through this season because everyone around you is excited for what’s next. But this window, the time where it’s just you (or you and your partner), where you can make decisions purely based on what you want, is so much more precious than we realise. I share my o...

In this episode, I talk about what it feels like to show up when you don’t feel ready or confident, and why fear so often shows up right before growth. I share a moment from this week where everything in me wanted to pull back and wait, and what shifted when I chose to move anyway. We talk about the stories fear brings up, the urge to hide or delay, and how to tell the difference between listening...

I talk about the word experiment and why changing the way I frame mistakes, effort, and uncertainty has completely changed how I show up. For most of my life, I avoided trying new things unless I knew I’d be good at them. Making a mistake felt personal, like it said something about who I was. In this conversation, I share how seeing things as experiments instead of tests has helped me let go of ju...

In this episode, Brooke talks about why so many of us feel stuck waiting for clarity, motivation, or confidence before we start, and why that approach usually keeps us frozen. She reflects on the idea that clarity doesn’t come first. It comes after action. Through personal reflection, Brooke explores how momentum is created by doing, not thinking, and why discomfort is often the doorway to insight...

If you’re someone who worries about disappointing people, this episode is for you. In this conversation, I talk about how often we make decisions based on not wanting to let others down, and what that costs us over time. We look at why it feels so uncomfortable to say no, why hard conversations get avoided, and how easy it is to keep putting yourself last without even realising it. This episode is...

This episode is about black and white thinking and how deeply it can shape the way we move through life without us realising. Brooke reflects on how growing up in systems that reward “right” and “wrong” can teach us to believe there is only one correct way to do things. Over time, that belief can stop us from trying new things, learning, and enjoying the process of getting better. She shares perso...

In this episode, Brooke talks about three small words we use every day that impact how we think, feel, and act. She shares why she is removing one word from her vocabulary, adding another, and changing the way she uses a third. These shifts seem small, but they have made a big difference in how committed she feels and what feels possible. This episode is about noticing how language shapes our inne...

Brooke talks about what happens when we get so caught up in rules, algorithms, and doing things “the right way” that we stop ourselves from showing up at all. She reflects on creating content without editing, polishing, or optimising, and why trying to make things perfect too early can silence your voice before it even has a chance to form. This episode is about letting go of made-up rules, trusti...

In this episode, Brooke shares four lessons she learned after moving across the world to Australia at 21 to work as an au pair. At the time, she didn’t know how much that year would change her. Looking back now, she can see how those experiences shaped how she makes decisions, sets boundaries, and trusts herself. She talks about learning who you are when you leave familiar people and places, reali...

In this episode, Brooke reflects on the idea of “putting in the reps” and why so many of us avoid starting things we care about because we’re scared of being bad at them. She talks about how we often believe that if something doesn’t come naturally, it must not be for us, and how that belief quietly stops growth before it even begins. Using examples from fitness, business, creativity, meditation,...

n this episode, Brooke explores three deeply ingrained beliefs that quietly prevent us from starting the things we care about most. As she begins showing up more honestly online, she notices familiar internal patterns surfacing. The belief that if you are not good immediately, you are not cut out for it. The belief that failure is personal and says something about who you are. And the belief that...

In this episode, Brooke explores the subtle ways “being good with money” can quietly shape our lives, often at a much higher cost than we realise. She reflects on her own relationship with saving, spending, and responsibility, and how early money beliefs led her to optimise for safety at the expense of experiences, ease, and alignment. From guilt around everyday spending to bigger decisions about...

In the first episode of The Process, Brooke shares why she started the podcast and what this space is really about. This episode explores learning and unlearning, identity shifts, perfectionism, and how the stories we tell ourselves shape our lives. Brooke also outlines what listeners can expect from the podcast as it evolves.
