The Thing You Keep Saying You'll Do Someday

Back in high school, Brooke tried out for the drill team and never once practiced the toe touch at the end of the routine. That moment became a lesson she's carried for years: so often we say "I'll do that later" about the things we value most, and life slips by while we wait.

In this short pep talk, Brooke shares stories of women who stopped putting things off and started practicing, and invites you to pick one thing to move toward now.

In this episode:

Why we delay the things that matter most to us
Assessing where you are so you can move forward
Why it's never too late to change a relationship by changing yourself
Inspiring stories of women learning piano, training for triathlons, climbing peaks, and learning new languages
How to keep growing and connecting even in seasons of healing
Remembering that we are creators who can build beautiful lives

What is your toe touch? Now is the best time to start.
