[00:00 - 05:18] Introduction
Happy Birthday, Brooke Jean!
She ponders on the impact of her past year's focus word, 'connection', and how it has influenced her life
[05:19 - 15:18] Embracing Embodiment and Living in the Moment
Brooke introduces the concept of 'embodiment' as her focus word this year
She explores how healing has helped her reconnect with the positive aspects of her childhood and be more in tune with her body
Embodiment means being present and recognizing that we have everything that we need in the moment
In that place of enoughness, we open up beautiful parts of ourselves and create abundance
When you think of embodiment and presence, you think of vitality
Women deserve to fully experience sensuality, pleasure, and joy
[15:19 - 22:22] Being Embodied Means Being Intentional
Brooke emphasizes the need for practical, tangible embodiment practices in daily life
Create a schedule for activities like meditation, breathwork, dance, or energy work
Investing time and energy intentionally in self-care and into things that light you up enables you to offer the best of yourself to others
Where attention goes, energy flows: focusing on positive aspects such as enoughness, beauty, and joy can attract more of these experiences in life
There are tough times but it's important to know how to get back into alignment with being the positive energy you want to see in the world
[22:23 - 35:38] Transforming Life with Thankfulness
Brooke expresses profound gratitude for her life, accomplishments, and the opportunities that have arisen from saying 'yes' to healing and self-discovery
There is joy and power in being true to oneself and making choices based on personal values and desires
When you are grateful, you can energetically attract more of what you desire, while also improving your mental and emotional health
Spiritual practices are now backed by scientific evidence, demonstrating their impact on mental and emotional well-being
She suggests exercises for practicing gratitude, such as writing down things that we are thankful for and choosing to see the good in life
[35:39 - 43:57] Closing Segment
Understand that despite all the pain and difficulty, there is beauty in you and around you all the time
Instead of letting the noise from the media and the world get to you, just let it go and focus on feeling good in your own body and knowing you're enough as you are
