About this episode
Brooke and Chad discuss their recent experiences and reflections on thought spirals and intentions as they reconnect after solo episodes.
After a few weeks of hosting solo episodes, Brooke and Chad are back together and catching up on the whirlwind start to 2026 at SPARK. From packed schedules to meaningful moments in the classroom, they reflect on the busyness of the past two months and what it’s been teaching them. Chad shares insights from his recent classes, including the unexpected “uproar of six seven” and what it revealed about how quickly thoughts can take over. Together, they dive into the concept of thought spirals — how they start, how they grow, and how we can begin to notice them before they take control. They also revisit what they intentionally chose to leave behind in 2025 and explore how those intentions are holding up now that the new year is in full swing. It’s an honest, grounded conversation about awareness, growth, and getting back on the same page.
