        <itunes:summary>You built the business. You hit the goals. So why does it still feel harder than it should?

Here’s the truth: nothing is wrong with you.
What’s broken is the way most of us built our lives and businesses.

I’m Brooke — multi-business owner, entrepreneur, and productivity-obsessed realist. I help ambitious women replace chaos with simple systems that actually work, so their business supports their life instead of consuming it.

This channel is for you if you understand:
I don’t teach hustle. I don’t do fluff.
But I do cut the excuses, help us chase our goals, and live life with purpose and alignment with what truly matters.

Expect honest conversations, no-BS frameworks, &amp; practical systems you can actually implement. We talk growth, leadership, life, boundaries, and building a business that works in real life — not just on paper.

Freedom. Clarity. Peace. Not someday. Now.
If you’re ready to stop overcomplicating success &amp; start building something sustainable, you’re in the right place.</itunes:summary>

But nobody teaches us how to actually live inside of it without losing our minds.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That’s why I see so many female founders who have &amp;#34;made it&amp;#34; on paper, but are secretly running on dry shampoo, cortisol, and guilt. They are Rich &amp;amp; Tired.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But there is a different group of women. The ones who run empires but still read fiction, sleep 8 hours, and don&amp;#39;t take their phones to bed. They are Rich &amp;amp; Rested.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In this video, I’m breaking down the 7 &amp;#34;Silent Habits&amp;#34; that separate the Burned-Out Boss form the Sovereign CEO.

                <description><![CDATA[<p>If your chest’s been tight and your to-do list is bossing you around, this episode is for you. In the first few minutes you’ll learn how to spot when you’re chasing control instead of peace, use a two-minute pause that actually calms your nervous system, and adopt a “move with, not on” mindset so you can stay present—even when plans change.</p><p><br></p><p>What we cover (fast + practical):</p><p><br></p><p>- Recognize the control signals (micromanaging, refreshing texts, “what-if” loops) and swap them for a clear self-check: “Am I trying to change this, or respond to it?”</p><p><br></p><p>- The Power of the Pause: a quick grounding you can do anywhere—notice your breath, get still, then use the script:</p><p>“I’ll do what I can. I’ll let go of what I can’t control.”</p><p><br></p><p>- Design for freedom, not friction: set smart, loving constraints (weekly calendar check-ins, decision deadlines, simple night routines) so peace becomes your default—not a someday.</p><p><br></p><p>You’ll also hear a real-life story (hello, surprise policy change) and a reframe that sticks: “You can’t calm the storm by stopping the wind—you can only calm yourself in the storm.” By the end, you’ll have language, a ritual, and tiny systems to keep your peace without pretending life is tidy.</p><p><br></p><p>Try this today:</p><p>1. Catch a control cue → ask the self-check.</p><p>2. Do the 2-minute pause.</p><p>3.

                <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;If your chest’s been tight and your to-do list is bossing you around, this episode is for you. In the first few minutes you’ll learn how to spot when you’re chasing control instead of peace, use a two-minute pause that actually calms your nervous system, and adopt a “move with, not on” mindset so you can stay present—even when plans change.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What we cover (fast &#43; practical):&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- Recognize the control signals (micromanaging, refreshing texts, “what-if” loops) and swap them for a clear self-check: “Am I trying to change this, or respond to it?”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- The Power of the Pause: a quick grounding you can do anywhere—notice your breath, get still, then use the script:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“I’ll do what I can. I’ll let go of what I can’t control.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- Design for freedom, not friction: set smart, loving constraints (weekly calendar check-ins, decision deadlines, simple night routines) so peace becomes your default—not a someday.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You’ll also hear a real-life story (hello, surprise policy change) and a reframe that sticks: “You can’t calm the storm by stopping the wind—you can only calm yourself in the storm.” By the end, you’ll have language, a ritual, and tiny systems to keep your peace without pretending life is tidy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Try this today:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. Catch a control cue → ask the self-check.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. Do the 2-minute pause.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. Pick one small constraint (weekly calendar huddle, a firm decision window, or a simple evening routine).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bonus mantra: Done &amp;gt; perfect.

Share your experience with #NavigateWell and let’s normalize protecting our hearts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;SEO Keywords: protect your heart, spot users, set boundaries, boundary scripts, stop people-pleasing, toxic relationships, emotional manipulation, self-care, personal growth podcast, healthy relationships&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;*******************************************&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Connect with Brooke:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Online | www.brookeplack.com&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Email | chat@brookeplack.com&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Facebook | www.facebook.com/brookeplack&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Instagram | @brookeplack&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;*******************************************&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Be sure to check out Brooke’s other projects too:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Empire Kids • www.empirekidsar.com&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Connect Academy for Children • www.connectafc.com&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Empact One Foundation • www.empactone.org&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Space • www.coworkthespace.com&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;*******************************************&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Production by Clanton Creative  www.clantoncreative.com&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;All music is licensed through Premium Beat&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you know someone who this episode could benefit from this episode, please share it with them - it is truly our mission to help connect with others because we believe the more we share our truth the more we all realize we aren’t alone.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Support this podcast at — &lt;a rel=&#39;payment&#39; href=&#39;https://redcircle.com/navigating-personal-growth/donations&#39;&gt;https://redcircle.com/navigating-personal-growth/donations&lt;/a&gt;</content:encoded>

                <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Have you ever paused in the middle of your life and thought, “I’m becoming the person I needed when I was younger”?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In this episode of Navigating Personal Growth, I’m diving into the powerful and emotional journey of healing generational patterns—the unspoken rules, emotional habits, and inherited pain that we didn’t ask for, but still carry. Whether it’s people-pleasing, emotional silence, burnout, or survival mode, this conversation is about naming what’s been passed down—and choosing to break cycles with grace, not guilt.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You don’t have to do it perfectly.

You just have to be real.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🔎 Keywords: letting go of perfection, messy life, personal growth podcast, emotional wellness, healing journey, stop comparing yourself, permission to be real, Christian encouragement, embracing imperfection, faith and growth&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;*******************************************&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Connect with Brooke:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Online | www.brookeplack.com&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Email | chat@brookeplack.com&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Facebook | www.facebook.com/brookeplack&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Instagram | @brookeplack&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;*******************************************&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Be sure to check out Brooke’s other projects too:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Empire Kids • www.empirekidsar.com&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Connect Academy for Children • www.connectafc.com&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Empact One Foundation • www.empactone.org&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Space • www.coworkthespace.com&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;*******************************************&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Production by Clanton Creative  www.clantoncreative.com&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;All music is licensed through Premium Beat&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you know someone who this episode could benefit from this episode, please share it with them - it is truly our mission to help connect with others because we believe the more we share our truth the more we all realize we aren’t alone.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Support this podcast at — &lt;a rel=&#39;payment&#39; href=&#39;https://redcircle.com/navigating-personal-growth/donations&#39;&gt;https://redcircle.com/navigating-personal-growth/donations&lt;/a&gt;</content:encoded>

                <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Remember when friendships used to feel effortless—like a team sport? But somewhere along the way, adult relationships started feeling more like an individual game. In this episode, I’m diving into why relationships change as we grow, and how to handle those changes with peace and maturity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We’ll unpack Mel Robbins’ powerful “Let Them” theory and explore the three biggest factors that impact adult friendships: time, energy, and proximity. Whether you’re struggling to maintain connections or feeling guilty about drifting apart from people, this episode will give you the clarity and freedom to let go without shame and focus on what matters most.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Let Them Book Link: https://amzn.to/42vZX5t&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;👉 In this episode, you’ll learn:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;✔️ Why adult relationships naturally shift (and why that’s normal)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;✔️ What Mel Robbins’ “Let Them” approach can teach us about emotional freedom&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;✔️ How to stop chasing people and start investing in aligned, life-giving connections&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;💡 &amp;#34;Let them.

                <description><![CDATA[<p>This week’s episode tackles Gray Area Drinking. </p><p>Gray area drinking is a term used to describe a pattern of alcohol consumption that falls somewhere between moderate drinking and alcoholism.

                <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;This week’s episode tackles Gray Area Drinking. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gray area drinking is a term used to describe a pattern of alcohol consumption that falls somewhere between moderate drinking and alcoholism. It often refers to individuals who do not meet the diagnostic criteria for alcohol use disorder, but who still experience negative consequences from their drinking, such as hangovers, blackouts, or impaired decision-making. Gray area drinking can be challenging to identify and address, as it can be difficult to determine when someone&amp;#39;s drinking has become problematic.
