Dr. Brooke opens up about a life-changing moment when she decided to reclaim her power amidst the chaos of motherhood, a struggling marriage, and the pressures of life. Her “Why Not Now?” moment - choosing herself and her children over the weight of caregiving - not only transformed her personal life but also sparked the creation of a groundbreaking method for emotional and sensory regulation.

In this powerful conversation, Dr. Brooke shares her journey through grief, resilience, and the courage to prioritize her well-being. From small steps like walking daily to monumental decisions that redefined her path, Dr. Brooke offers raw insights and actionable tools for navigating trauma, building self-awareness, and finding strength in vulnerability.

Amy Jo and Dr. Brooke dive into the science behind nervous system regulation and how understanding your mental health at a neurological level can unlock your true potential.
