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.

When Joy Turns Into Pressure: Snow Edition
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
When joy turns into pressure, it's time to come back to yourself.
On this week's snow edition, I reflect on how something we love can start to feel burdensome once expectations and outside judgment creep in. This episode explores shadow, self-criticism, and why owning the parts of ourselves we reject helps restore ease, authenticity and personal authority. A snowy walk about returning to what you do simply because you want to.
Walk with me.
