Embodied Wisdom: A Walk and a Talk with Dr. Brooke
Learning through lived experience, one step a time.
Embodied Wisdom with Dr. Brooke is a walk-and-talk podcast where I explore the inner and outer paths we travel as we live, grow, and change. Each episode is recorded during a morning walk and offers thoughtful reflections on the emotional and psychological patterns that shape our lives, informed by years of clinical practice and lived experience.
This is a space to slow down and remember that we don't have to navigate our inner world alone. Come and walk with me and see where the path leads.
This podcast is for educational and reflective purposes. While I am a licensed psychologist, listening to Embodied Wisdom does not constitute therapy or establish a therapeutic relationship. If you are need of personal support, please seek out care from a qualified provider in your area.

Learning to Drive Differently - A New Year's Walk
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
A reflective New Year's walk on resolutions, habit change, and learning how to "drive differently" rather than trying to fix ourselves.
This week I reflect on beginning something new when conditions are not necessarily ideal and how resistance and distraction are part of the practice. Drawing from core Jewish traditions of self reflection, I reframe New Year's resolutions as that which can lead to sustainable change - not fixing mistakes, but learning how to drive differently.
We explore how habits are shaped by family, culture, and good/bad conditioning, and why lasting change comes from self compassion rather than self critique.
