Description

What if the boldest decision you ever made… was the one no one understood?

In this solo episode of The Unperfected Pod, Brooke Jean opens up about the defining decision she made at 21 — becoming a mom. From being a party-loving college student at CU Boulder to raising her son Camden with intention and grit, Brooke shares a deeply personal story of transformation. She walks us through that unexpected pregnancy moment, how it shifted her entire life, and the 21-year journey of making good on her promise to her son.

With tears, laughter, and full-circle triumphs, Brooke celebrates not just Camden's graduation but the unwavering commitment it took to support him through college — financially, emotionally, and spiritually. This is a moving reminder that sometimes, the most unconventional decisions become the foundation for our most extraordinary lives.
