| 2/27/26 | ![]() Why Rest Feels Impossible | Retreat details: Join Brooke in Tuscany this October for six days of dolce far niente. What if the most radical thing you could do for your growth right now… is nothing? In this deeply personal episode, Brooke invites you to slow down long enough to feel what's actually been simmering beneath the surface—the grief, the grayness, the soul cry that no amount of productivity can silence. This conversation is about the deeper kind of rest that reconnects you to your inner realm, your inst... | 27m 30s | ||||||
| 12/3/25 | ![]() Bonus episode: Unhooking From The Good Woman Myth | In this bonus episode, I’m sharing a live workshop replay where we name—and begin to gently unhook from—the Good Woman Myth. That inherited script that urges us to work before we rest, care for everyone else before we care for ourselves, and prove our worth instead of trusting it. Through story, teaching, and guided reflection, we explore resentment as a soul-level smoke alarm, what it means to hold our “flaws” without disappearing into shame, and why midlife invites a different kind of prior... | 1h 21m 38s | ||||||
| 11/18/25 | ![]() The Power of Companionship in Midlife: Inside the Second Bite Experience | In this intimate round-table conversation, two original members of Second Bite — Ann and Tara — join me to reflect on a year of soulful transformation. Together we trace the subtle shifts, the unexpected courage, the creative renewal, and the deep relief of being witnessed by women who are walking a similar path in midlife. We explore what first drew them to this work, what surprised them about their own becoming, and how having a protected space that isn’t “one more thing to do,” but a... | 27m 25s | ||||||

RSVP for the free workshop here. In this intimate episode, Brooke invites you to name the invisible guardrails that shape women’s lives in midlife — the internalized “Good Woman Myth” that keeps us polite, overextended, and too far from our wild knowing. She shares the story of her own turning point — from earning tenure in academia to sensing a deeper call she couldn’t yet name — and how that deeper k... | 21m 48s | ||||||

| 8/25/25 | ![]() From Powering Through to Moving at the Pace of Trust. | How were you taught to meet the waves—the ones in the water, and the ones in your life? In this episode of The Midlife Ripening Podcast, Brooke shares three parables from a week at the ocean’s edge—moments that reveal how we’ve been trained to meet discomfort and how midlife offers us the chance to choose differently. Each story opens a window into the cultural scripts we’ve internalized about pressure, speed, and performance. This conversation is for every woman who’s tired of powering throu... | 11m 29s | ||||||
| 7/30/25 | ![]() The Five Dances of Anxiety—and How to Step Into Something More Alive | What if your anxiety isn’t a problem to fix—but a pattern you’ve been dancing for years? In this episode of The Midlife Ripening Podcast, Brooke explores how anxiety often shows up as over-responsibility, perfectionism, or disappearing into busyness. Especially for women who lead, care, and carry it all. You’ll learn five common “dances” of anxiety—like overfunctioning, distancing, and blaming—and how each one began as a strategy for safety and belonging. The invitation isn’t to shame yoursel... | 16m 54s | ||||||

| 6/20/25 | ![]() How to Name—and Nourish—What You Really Want | Desire can feel slippery in midlife. Maybe you don’t know what you want anymore. Or maybe you do—but it feels too big, too selfish, too risky to say out loud. In this episode, I share the deeper reasons why wanting can feel so fraught for midlife women—and offer a new, gentle way to begin listening again.
