Episode 26: Brooke Fest: Not Just a Week—But a Way of Being

What if you stopped waiting for permission to rest, celebrate, or do what lights you up—and simply started giving yourself that permission every day?

In this soulful solo episode of Midlife with Brooke, Brooke Oniki shares the origin story of Brooke Fest—a playful birthday-week tradition that became a way of living with intention. Through warm storytelling and faith-centered reflection, Brooke invites midlife women to honor their needs, create rhythms of joy, and live from emotional and spiritual abundance.

You’ll hear:

The heartwarming story behind Brooke Fest
How to move from guilt and obligation to joy and intentionality
The difference between healthy desire and fear-based craving
Simple ways to fill your days with what truly lights you up
Why giving yourself permission creates more peace, connection, and fun

Reflection Prompts:

What simple things fill me up or make me feel most alive?
Where am I waiting for permission that I could offer myself today?
How can I bring more lightness and celebration into ordinary days?
