Brooke Averick: Content Creator, Podcast Host, and Author

About this episode

Brooke Averick discusses her journey from preschool teacher to content creator and author.

Brooke Averick is a content creator, cohost of Brooke and Connor Make a Podcast, and the author of the new novel Phoebe Berman Is Going to Lose It. But before she was a content multi-hyphenate, she began her career as a preschool teacher at a Quaker school. Then, in 2020, she downloaded TikTok and began sharing videos of herself reading from her childhood journals. The videos went mega-viral, and she soon pivoted from teaching to full-time content creation. Since then, she’s continued to create vulnerable and hilarious videos and podcasts, and now she’s embarking on her latest venture as an author with her debut novel, which hit shelves this May.
