You know you're capable of more. You can feel it. But somewhere between the fear of getting it wrong and the story that you're not ready yet, you've stayed exactly where you are. This podcast is for the woman who is done waiting but doesn't quite know how to start. The one who doesn't realise yet that her language is keeping her stuck, that her limiting beliefs are running the show, that the version of herself she's been waiting to become is already in there. I'm Brooke. I'm a coach, a mum, and someone who lost years of her life waiting until she was "ready." This podcast is me practicing what I preach. Showing up before I feel ready, getting it wrong, figuring it out in real time, and documenting all of it as I go. ---------- When you're ready, I'm here to help you trust yourself.

    Trusting Yourself, Setting Boundaries, and Why Confidence is a Skill w/ Shreya Rajeevan | Ep 40

    Shreya spent most of her life letting other people decide who she was. If someone told her she was capable, she was capable. If someone told her she wasn't doing a good job, she believed that instead. In this episode I sit down with my friend and client, a speech pathologist who helps children and adults communicate for a living, and who has spent the last couple of years learning how to use her voice. We talk about why surviving something is not the same as trusting yourself, what it inadvertently costs you to grow up feeling safe and protected by the people around you, and why she stayed in a situation that was making her sick long after her body started telling her to leave. We also get into the practical side of building confidence, the phrases she writes down before walking into a meeting, why she's cutting the word sorry out of her vocabulary, and what it means to look at a hard week like a scientist instead of a judge.  We think confidence is a feeling that will come if you wait long enough. But in reality, confidence is a skill you build by acting your way into being. Shreya is proving this to herself, one action at a time.

    Safety Mode vs Success Mode, Money Stories, and Buying Back Your Time w/ Terry Condon | Ep 39

    Four years ago I stumbled onto a finance podcast that became the catalyst for everything I’ve changed about the way I think about money.  In this episode I sit down with Terry Condon, founder of The Cash Flow Co and host of the Money Minded podcast. With 10 years of experience in elite sport, Terry took his deep understanding of human behaviour and goal setting and applied it to a completely different industry: personal finance.  We talk about giving yourself permission to get it wrong, and why he thinks the fastest way to reach a goal is to speed up how often you fail. He explains why your brain will keep you repeating a life you don't want, because a predictable future has to look like the past, and what it takes to interrupt that. We get into why so many of us treat things like communication or money as traits instead of skills, the four things people unconsciously believe money is for, and why he says time is the scarce resource while money is abundant. He also talks about defining “wealth”, “rich” and “success” for yourself, and what happens if you don’t.  Connect with Terry Condon:  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/terry-condon-cashflowco/  Listen to Money Minded Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/4fh8xSyibogGPOgwswvIUa?si=a8e00b26509641a4 ------------- When you’re ready, I’m here to help you trust yourself.

    Why I Never Let Myself Take Singing Seriously | Ep 38

    I've loved singing my whole life. It's one of my favourite things in the world and I still spent four years finding reasons not to book a lesson. In this episode I talk about my first singing lesson in over fifteen years, and why it took me so long to book it. I decided a long time ago that while I was a decent singer, being decent meant it wasn't worth pursuing.. so singing stayed as something I do in the shower. There was no big outcome I was chasing with music to justify the time or money spent on getting better at singing, so it lost out to everything else. I talk about how many women I speak to in their 30s and 40s have very little in their lives outside work, their kids and maybe the gym, that lights them up. I was one of them. I also talk about what happened when I stood up to sing for the second time, and why not doing something is still a decision about what matters to you. ------------- When you’re ready, I’m here to help you trust yourself.

    Use Your Voice: Speaking Up, Self-Worth, and Radical Responsibility w/ Annelise McCarthy | Ep 37

    The number one fear in the world isn’t spiders or heights or death. It’s public speaking. In this episode I sit down with Annelise McCarthy, founder of Her Speaking Coach and communication expert. She trains people out of that fear for a living, which is not the obvious path for someone who grew up with a speech impediment and was terrified of putting her hand up in class. We talk about why using your voice isn’t the stage and the microphone and the crowd. It’s setting a boundary, asking for a raise, sending the food back when they got your order wrong. She also makes a distinction I hadn’t heard before, that getting good at a skill and feeling good doing it are two completely different things. She had the skill for years before she had the self-worth to go with it. We get into what it costs you to build an identity around being good at things, radical responsibility and the reframe from “everything is on me” as a weight to “everything is on me” as freedom, and why the language you use with yourself matters more than your vocabulary or your delivery. Your voice is the thing that changes what’s possible for you. This one is for anyone who has been sitting on theirs. About Annelise: Annelise is an international speaker, LinkedIn Top Voice, and communication expert who’s coached professionals, leaders and founders from CEOs to Olympians.

    Rewriting the Stories You Don’t Know You’re Telling w/ Sam Bergdahl | Ep 36

    In this episode I sit down with Sam, a nature photographer and someone I knew in school back in Canada and reconnected with at the end of last year. We've been working together since, and this is the kind of conversation we've been having behind the scenes for months. We talk about the stories we carry about ourselves, the ones that don't feel like stories at all because they feel like facts. Where they come from, why it's so often a single throwaway moment rather than one big event, and how a comment at 17 or a gymnastics class at 3 can end up running your decisions for decades. We get into why awareness has to come before acceptance and acceptance before anything changes, the difference between catching a pattern after the fact and catching it in the moment, and the small language shifts that do more than we realize. And we talk about what it does to the people around you when you do this work. Not just you, but your kids, your partner, the friends who've only ever known the version of you that a story built. If you've ever caught yourself saying "I'm just not the kind of person who..." and believed it, this episode is for you.

    Do Your Actions Match What You Want?

    For years I told myself I was getting back in shape. I believed it every single time I said it. In this episode I talk about the gap between saying what you want and actually doing it, using an example I'm still in the middle of. I was in the best shape of my life in Sydney, boxing 4-5 times a week, running half of a three hour hike because I had that much energy. Then I started a full time job, stopped moving, and put on about 15kgs over a year. What followed was years of convincing myself that within the next 6 months, I was going to change it. I thought I meant it. I just wasn't doing the work that would make it true. I talk about what changed this year, why having someone hold me accountable mattered more than any of the challenges I did on my own, and the moment about a week ago when I realised it's really happening. If you've got something you keep telling people you're going to do, this one is an invitation to hold the mirror up and get honest about whether your actions match it. ------------- When you’re ready, I’m here to help you trust yourself.

    That Job is Costing You More Than Money | Ep 34

    Four years ago I was wishing every week away, waiting for a weekend that never gave me the energy back. I told myself I had no other option because I needed the money. In this episode I go back through where I was and how I got here. The job I stayed in long after it started draining me, the holiday to Canada that finally gave me enough distance to see what it was costing me, and how I quit, found a new job, broke our lease and moved within ten days of coming back to Australia. Then I did the exact same thing again in a different company, because I hadn't worked out that the job was never the real problem. I talk about the twelve months of chronic pain I dealt with, what my body was trying to tell me, and the point where I had to sit down and redefine what success actually meant for me. The belief that kept me stuck the longest was that I had to have it all figured out before I was allowed to move. I don't have it figured out now either. I'm just no longer waiting for that. ------------- When you’re ready, I’m here to help you trust yourself.

    When You Notice the Pattern, It Becomes a Choice | Ep 33

    Most of us have patterns we don't even know are shaping our lives. Until one day you have it pointed out to you, or catch yourself in it. In this episode I share something that happened earlier this week where I almost told my husband a small lie to cover the fact that I hadn't followed through on something. I caught myself before I finished the sentence, and instead of beating myself up, I got curious about why. What I found underneath it was a pattern I've had for years without realising it was even there. Once you become aware of a pattern, it stops being automatic. It becomes a choice. It also becomes an incredible opportunity to challenge yourself to step into the version of yourself you KNOW you are capable of becoming. ------------- When you’re ready, I’m here to help you trust yourself.
