Shownotes

A raw, real-time reflection on burnout, intuition, and the moment everything clicks back into place. Brooke shares a series of powerful experiences that reveal what happens when you stop pushing, start listening, and allow the next version of yourself to emerge—without bypassing the body or the truth it holds.

Transcripts

so here we are in December. And I feel like it's been months since I've talked to you, Brooke, but it hasn't been that long. But sounds to me like you got something to say today. Yes, I do. I do have a lot to say. And it just all happened in the last 24 hours. What's going on? So I had a big shift, of understanding, versions of myself.

Okay. So this is how my last two weeks have went leading up to the last two weeks. I had a influx of a ton of business along with several people who. Came back around a year later and said, oh, now I know what I want. Everybody wanted at once, right? So I was a little overworked and I went on a vacation.

ho I was being. I just had a [:

Right. Then I came back home, turned around and went back down to Tampa, helping a friend and got on a plane and I just arrived. I walked in here at four 18, so not even an hour ago, but during the last 24 hours. So you went on vacation, but it wasn't really a great vacation. It wasn't, and coming back was one of the toughest comebacks I've ever had.

Oh, wow. Because you didn't feel like you got a vacation. Right. And because I think I was, I got burned out and didn't even notice. And so I was gone. I could feel when people would ask me to do something outside of boundaries, but yet I didn't set them. This is my problem, not theirs. I could feel what it felt like in my body, and that is not something I've been able to do because I'm in constant that.

[:

Right. And I was like, okay, so this is what that feels like. And I'm in a constant state of that. And so that I, I designed my business and my life so I can choose to do whatever I want with it. Mm-hmm. So that tells me if things are changing now, leading into the vacation, things were already changing.

I was already growing. My team was getting bigger, but. Check this out now. This is where it gets good. I started growing and started helping. I mean, not growing. I started shifting and getting someone, a new team member to help me with a few things, podcast editing, things of that nature, and realized, whoa, I think I'm growing this in the wrong direction.

se, but she needs to help me [:

Because the more I get my business out there and done, the more I can help my clients. So I was already going through this expansion stage. And then I went to this weird JY vacation, came back, and then finally in the last two days I flew down. I love to drive. I was in the car 14 hours, turn around and flew back.

ho had stood there before me.[:

Wow. And for the first time ever, it was extremely clear that this was not my energy, it was theirs. I could see it. I could see the energy. Wow. What did it look like? Energy. Black, dark. And it was anxiety. It was scare. It was fear. It was confidence. It was everything.

But it was like everyone's energy was stuck in that thing. Now, see, the only thing I've seen before are dead people. I have seen dead people, but they're people. That's obvious. You couldn't, you couldn't sit here and tell me That's not what I saw, right? Mm-hmm. These, this is energy and I've never seen energy before, and it was energy.

lax and see their energy out [:

Wow. It was, and this all, and this all happened in a matter of what, 30 seconds, right? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, at most, yeah. Which is always amazing when I've had those experiences. It's like in the movies where they slow everything down. Well, 'cause time really doesn't exist and we can slow time down.

We can bend the time. I've done it many times. It's hard for me to do it intentionally, but when I've done it, I've done it. Usually it's when I'm in pure gratitude. Mm. Ah yeah. Or very much just looking instead of like looking at life instead of being in life, you know, looking at it. Mm-hmm. Which is a very high state to be in, emotional state.

I heard Dolly part and Bunny [:

What I, whatever a was, she's like, as long as God's giving me breath to breathe, I'm gonna look my best every moment. And I had heard that before and I was like, that's cute. I just love Dolly Hall. But when I was telling my friend this, it landed so differently and I just had this experience of the energy outside of my body and the energy in my body, right?

ents were, they were filling [:

It was like how I'm helping, how I'm gonna help them and how they're, and how I'm gonna help them do what they're doing and how it's already built and I just need to buckle in some pieces, all of that. Wow. So it was a shift of energy. Well, I had to expand to get the first shift. Right. And I've been to get through this expansion.

So as an expansion, a shift of energy, a being able to be confident in my body of what I know, and just saw and felt open and sensitive enough to feel other energies. Looking at life differently. Within 15 minutes of that, not even within five minutes of that, having that comment, and then boom, these downloads started.

Wow. This was all by the way, like, at 1 45. Today it's five 15, so it's like three, four hours ago. Three hours, four hours ago. Three and a half hours ago. So this is very new. So I'm gonna just kind of, that's a weird story. It sounds like three different stories in one. Oh wait, there was a third? Nope, that was three.

There was [:

It's like. I am being shown, the, like the veil is so freaking thin, right? So this is a weird story, but it's, it's just sort of a, an an everyday example. The other day, last week, I had to have some blood tests on and I went to my doctor. 'cause anyway, long story short, I used to be able to go to the hospital because there was this great phlebotomist [00:09:00] who could take blood really easily, blah, blah, blah.

It's a fasting, she's. The hospital's right down the street anyway, went there and they couldn't do it. They said, we can't do it anymore. We're changing our policy. So I had to drive 45 minutes to go get my blood drawn by my doctor's wife, and she had just gotten her phlebotomy license and I was her first patient.

And I'm not real good at all of that, you know, like, getting stuck, like stuck. You don't, do you mean you don't, you're not good with getting needles. Well, I'm okay with needles in, a little bit, but my blood doesn't pump. Oh, okay. And so if I go to somebody that doesn't know what they're doing, I end up with black and blue arms and they can't, you know, I'm like a pin cushion.

process it and send it off. [:

And I, and I'm like, well that's, I'm not gonna call them and insult them that way. Of course they're gonna do that. The, that's their business. You know, it's, there's doctors and that's what they do. And, you know, why am I gonna do that? And I kept getting told to do that and I kept pushing it off. And, um, she called me yesterday and she goes, I'm so embarrassed to tell you this.

I forgot to send the blood test out. And I'm like, I knew it. I knew it. And it was, you know, that's, like I said, it's like an everyday story, but it's, so those are the kinds of things that have been happening on a daily basis. Like, do this and I. Don't do it. And then I think, oh my God, I should have done that.

head. I've been experiencing [:

Yes, yes, yes, I am. Uh, it's like, and you know, the thing is, is that it's so for me it's so, um, it happens so often. And they're, but they're little things. They're not big aha moment things. So I forget about 'em. I sort of pass 'em off and it's become like a regular thing. And, I don't really know what to do with it other than I'm being told like, trust, just trust.

hat just my brain telling me [:

which was really interesting 'cause I was asking that question in my head, and then this article popped up that talked just about that and it said the right message or the intuition, the message you're supposed to listen to is very clear, is very quiet, is very succinct, very right there, the message that maybe your head's spinning or your.

ll say, how do you know that [:

Well 'cause you, it. The, that, that intuitive, the intuitive thing will come first with nothing. Then you may get scared, but if you see it and scared at the same time, that's just a fear popping up. Well I find that when I am in a pickle, you know, when I'm in a tizzy, whatever, if I stop and say, you are exactly where you were supposed to be, like the clarity just comes through.

Oh wow, that's beautiful. I've been experiencing this. Everything is happening for my highest good. The real trust in that, not just like. Saying it right, but like actually believing it. And I had a, a money experience at the beach and I was like, you know what? This is all working out for my highest good, whatever it's gonna be.

. And then I turn around and [:

And you could and pay it off in three months. Yeah, it was something still very aggressive. I didn't hear that part 'cause I was no longer processing. I was just with the woman. I stood there and I was just saying with, I mean, it was phone call, back to back, everything's working out for my highest good.

more like. Okay, well here's [:

So I was sitting there and I told the lady I did get emotional and I said, hang on, I, I'm apologizing. Let me just process this for a second and I will, I'll be fine. And. Turns out it was when a payment went from, you know, they, they start you off on small payments and it went up. And when I went in, logged in, this was like almost a year ago.

been on payments ever since [:

It's kind of like a crazy system. Yeah. Yeah. So I was like, okay. Interesting. Anyway, so long of the short of the matter, I'm like, this is working out for my higher good. I don't know how, maybe it means I'm gonna make a million so I can pay this 34,000 off in no time. Maybe it means. Who knows what it means.

I'm not here trying to figure out what it means, but I'm gonna really sink into, I'm trusting this is working out for my highest good. Mm-hmm. Yeah. And so I'll proceeded to say, um, I'm not able to, uh, I'm not able to do the financing of this. Right. You know, we gotta figure something out and when we talked about why I couldn't do the financing and where it was, she's like, I don't understand why you owe this.

is [:

In October of last year, and they put it underneath that and swept it away. Wow. I was like, holy. Wow. There was a misunderstanding of who really was personally responsible for that. Was it my business or was it me personally? Hmm. And when they got that in Clarity, they put it under my personal finance cleanup and it wiped it away.

Wow. That's awesome. Yes. Okay. So. Let's go back to what you started with. So, um, you had this wow moment, this wow thing that happened and it was all in a very short amount of time, and it was coming back from, you know, like strange vacation. Mm-hmm. Right? It was on it and it was on the vacation.

Mm-hmm. [:

Because I'm learning to trust myself. I'm learning to trust God and myself. The universe tr I'm tr I'm learning to trust the processes. If I had one common thing among all the stories we started with, it's trusting that. Trusting. Yeah. It, there's a knowingness more than a trust, and I used to be real clear on this years ago, knowing this is one of the highest levels to be in.

. It may look like I have to [:

I know that it's gonna, whatever I have to go through to make this right will end up being for my highest good. Well, my experience, experiences have been lately that. Whatever I want to have happen that I truly trust and believe in. In other words, I plant the seed and I walk away. It's like, yep. And I don't go back and go, oh, I wonder if that's gonna happen.

t. Mm-hmm. But somehow these [:

So I've been getting a lot of, you know. Like, if that's what you want, then be that, be in that and be that. And that will, that will change the experience of other people around you. So that was actually the, the next biggest thing that happened to me in the last 24 hours with what you just said. So I have been leaning into, come from the version within, be the version you wanna be.

[:

This is how I saw it. So Bahar, are you familiar with Bashar? No. Okay. He's a channel. He is Daryl somebody who channels. Bashar and okay, he has a thing. How do you spell it? B-A-S-H-A-R. Okay. And he has a thing that he's channeling his higher self from 200 years or so many years in the future. Okay?

Mm-hmm. And um, so he said. He was talking about when you're in pain and when you're struggling with expansion and personal growth, it's because you're not being who you're wanting to be. You're not coming from, well, let me slow this down one notch. It's because you are allowing yourself to believe that thinking.

or example, I said this very [:

I'm coming from the new version of me, and she works out well. If you're coming from the new version of you, there's no pain in that version. The version you're wanting to be does not carry pain. So if you're carrying pain, you are not coming from that version. Right. Yeah. And I saw the deeper integration of, oh, so let's take the working out example.

be doesn't carry pain. She's [:

She's already doing her thing. She's already eating healthy. She's already being who she is. She has a knowingness that this is okay. She's not struggling. And through working out. Yeah, I'm struggling 'cause I'm shedding the identity of who I've been and who I'm becoming. And it was such a clear moment for me that, 'cause what happened was I put myself there and I felt that there's a knowingness, that there's no problem here.

I don't really have a struggle of working out, and now I'm just like eager to go. I've moved my body while I was there. I couldn't sit down. I was doing the things like I used to do when I was healthy and I was stretching in the corners of the airport, like, and I didn't even mean to. I didn't even put effort into it because it was naturally who I started to become Uhhuh.

e were on the same page. Oh, [:

So I. My experience recently was around some emotional stuff, that basically boiled down to not feeling safe in my body. And so I talked through this and kind of meditated and, and the message that I got was. Because you, you, you know, hear about affirmations and, and saying, you know, I am safe in my body.

life that have challenged me [:

There are times when I do not feel safe in my body, and there are times when I do feel safe in my body and I had to go to those times. And, you know, and sort of reach into those, those times when I do feel safe in my body and I had to really kind of say, okay, when are those times? Let's, like, let's go there and, um, and be there.

in this woman that I want to [:

The pain part, Uhhuh. 'cause the phys, the physical pain of working out is you can't ignore. It's like if you haven't been working out and you start working out, your muscles are gonna go. Wait a minute. Right? Absolutely. And I'm not gonna be able to just step into her who doesn't feel pain because there's been, I have to clean up something.

Right? Right. I wouldn't be in the position if there was nothing to clean up. Right. So like, and so the, the message is in the pain. Mm-hmm. So when we, when we slow down and hear the message, it can go super fast. We might not even have to process the message as much as we have to see it and feel it go through, but Right.

body. Right. We might get a, [:

If it hurts for me to start moving, like I know I want to be moving, there are messages in there and I have been processing like a freaking rock star this year. So I know, I think it's all stuck in my body and that's where I am because I'm emotionally. Energetically like freaking rockstar right now.

she said, I wasn't addicted [:

And immediately I thought, well, I, and then I saw that I was. Addicted to being heavy and have so much weight on me. And I translated it in that moment. I was like, I'm addicted to ha carrying everything for everyone. Mm. And I'm like carrying everything, everyone. That's what this is all about. Mm-hmm.

Carrying it all for everyone. And I could just go, Atlas shrugged, you know? Right, right. And just come out from underneath that and just be like, that's enough. It is my turn now to carry it for myself only, and that is safe. People will still love me. People still, do you know that that too mean this has been a week of like the veil is thin and stuff is downloading like crazy.

ode. It's about allowing the [:

I mean, the veil can be, you know, non-existent. But if you're going at the speed of. Sound light or whatever, uh, your, your whiz right past it and very true. Great point. Clearly right now, clearly right now we are getting the mess. That we need to, to listen, we need to really download this stuff because it's the op, the stuff is happening now.

Mm-hmm. And it's real important stuff. And if you whiz by it and you're not, you're not downloading this stuff right now, you may end up in the. Whatever the abyss, you know? And, yeah, that leads me into, I thought this was gonna be a different conversation, but we've kind of almost hit onto it a couple times, so I'm gonna go with it.

. And we'll just call this a [:

My dog wants to be on the mic right now. Hi puppy. Oh my God, he is so cute. Um, uh, he needs to go out. Excuse me one second. Yeah. Yeah.

That that was so funny. He was actually asking for permission to eat my other dog's food 'cause he never ate it this morning. Anyway, eat that. Gonna eat that. Yeah. Okay, so. I felt truth go through my body. And I said, that's what truth feels like. Oh, that's really cool. And the anchoring and holding onto that feeling is how I.

I know I need to line up my voice with, right? Because you know, I'm all about alignment. My podcast is all about alignment and being in alignment and not just energetically, it's all for your business, but it's it. I can sniff out when people in companies, the team, when someone's out of alignment, whether it's their position, their role, they've worked too much, they're underpaid.

I can sniff it. I'm a great. [:

Have you ever heard of Candace Owens Sounds familiar, but it's the podcast. She used to be, from what I understand, she used to be like in the liberal party, and then she moved over with Trump and then she moved away as in neither. Okay.

f controversy right now over [:

And I tell you what. I wasn't intentionally listening and then I became intentional about my listening 'cause it was playing around me, all of these back and forths and going around, and I just happened to be in the environment. And when a truth bomb came.

I felt it in my gut that it was the truth. Hmm. I didn't have to think, I wonder who's telling the truth? Can I believe her? Can I believe this person? How do you know what to believe? 'cause I don't believe the news or anything. Right. And, but when I felt that, I was like, that was the truth. Wow. Wow. That was, and she, what she was saying, there was a thing that she was, some, something, something she said that felt the truth and I was able to use that and go through like, social media feeds and just see like the, the, so what, what did she say?

remember. Oh, wow. Oh, wow. [:

Because Yeah, you know, my, my colleagues are cloning themselves and putting their voices and their faces, and I'm, I'm all about it. I love what they're doing for their businesses. But to remind people, just because you get a phone call from Brooke and I tell you I'm in jail, that does not mean it's true.

what truth feels like, and I [:

My truth has been there. And then my confidence has kind of went away for the last coup, like maybe the last few years. My a hundred percent confidence in my truth, you know? And it felt like that. It felt like the returning of home, but it was also like a gut punch in my throat, I in my stomach. And I was like, that is what we're gonna work.

That that's who we wanna be. We wanna be that knowing all the time. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, and I think that that comes from just being, I say it all the time, it's just from being, just allowing space, allowing the noise to go away so that the, you know, if you let the noise go away, then the truth just eases in.

estate and I get this email [:

$4 million listing, you know, so of course I paid attention and she's like, oh, I'm really interested in this. She said, I'd like to, can we do a, a Google meet? And I said, yeah, sure. She goes, you know, that way I can, I'll send you a link. 'cause that way I can pull my husband in. And there was something.

Very nice woman. You know, not anything weird, but there was something that came in and said, do not do that. And I, um, so I said, you know, listen, I'm not really comfortable with that, with looking on a link that I'm not familiar with. She goes, no, no, this is just my Google meet. You know, I'm gonna send it to you.

en by the fact that it was a [:

And I looked at it, and again, this voice came in and said, don't do it. There's something weird about this. So I emailed her back and I said, you know, I'm not gonna click on that link. And she started getting very insistent, just do it. And I said, no, no. I said, look, I'll send you a link from my Zoom and we can do it that way, and just tell me what your husband's email is.

And, and I'll, you know, um, include him. And she got very insistent, very insistent that I. Do this. And I said, I'm not going to do it. And I, here, I could feel myself going, you know, this is a $4 million listing. I could really use this sale right now. And, you know, and it's been a listing that hasn't had a lot of interest.

Like, I don't care. I am not [:

I am not comfortable. And she got very insistent. And then I said, this is the way it's gonna go. I said, if you're interested, I'd be more than happy to talk to you about this property, but it's gonna be through Zoom, or I'm happy to get you up on a call. And I never heard from her again. It was like, very clear to me was, you know, that message kept coming through to me very clear, you know?

Yeah. It's like you said, it's the noise. It was noisy and you know, and one thing that. I heard in the last 24 hour. I mean, I'm telling you, my last 24 hours has been one thing. I was like, I'm looking too, noticing what I'm noticing kind of thing, right? Yeah. And another thing I heard is just what you said.

This is [:

That it's usually not the truth. They're trying to get you to believe something, right? But when they just state the truth, you move on. Yeah. My fr my, um, I stayed with, I lived with some friends for a while, when I was in transition through a divorce. Person, um, and their 14-year-old daughter, who was this great kid, but she, she was, and she never did anything wrong, but she got in with this girl and, you know, I could tell that things were getting a little weird.

And she came to me and she goes, you know, I'm living at her at their house. She comes to me and she goes, would you, would you tell my parents that I'm going over to Crystal's and, we're gonna do our homework and, and we're gonna go to bed early? And so, you know, we're probably gonna be in bed by eight 30.

d, um, and she starts giving [:

And she's like, nah, what? And I said, you're giving me too many details here. I mean, you could have just said, would you tell 'em I'm going to Crystals, you know? But she had to give me every single detail. Whole story. Yeah. The whole story. And I said, you're just trying to, yeah, but listen, Brooke, so I have to go.

Yeah. This is great. Thank you for having this conversation with me. I look forward to continuing it. Yeah, we will. Yeah. But welcome back. Thank you. I'm excited. We'll see. See you all. Listen to the next episode. Yeah, absolutely. Alright, take care. Bye-bye. Bye.
