She's Built Like a CEO

This one is different.

No interview. No solo episode. Just Brooke and her collaborator Karrie sitting down to plan a brand new offer in real time — and deciding to record the whole thing so you can watch it come together from the very beginning.

What you're hearing is an actual planning session. The messy, exciting, ADHD-brained, talking-over-each-other kind. The offer isn't launched yet. The name isn't finalized yet. But the c...

Most founders build their email list for themselves — the asset, the numbers, the growth. And the freebie they build to grow it gets built with that same lens: what will get the most people to sign up?

That is a different question from what will get the right people to sign up. And those two questions produce completely different lists — and completely different results when it's time to sell something.

In this episode, B...

One of the things that comes up in backend audits is that the backend is only part of the picture — and sometimes what's missing isn't a system or a process. It's clarity on who you are and how that shows up in everything you put out into the world.

Last week Brooke sat down and did something most business owners never do — she followed every single link, clicked through every freebie, and traced every path in a client's free offers from start to finish. Not to find broken links. To find out where the business was actually pointing.

What she found wasn't an error message. It was something a lot more common.

In this episode, she walks through what the audit revealed and wh...

One of the things that comes up in backend audits is that the backend is only part of the picture — and sometimes the heaviest thing a founder is carrying goes beyond her systems.

Sandy Boone is a therapist and coach who works at the intersection of trauma healing and burnout recovery, and she does it in a way that goes a lot deeper than traditional talk therapy. She works at the nervous system level — using somatic hea...

There is a specific kind of frustration showing up in online businesses right now. Showing up, putting out content, doing everything the way it's supposed to be done — and the results feel slow. Slower than expected. Slower than they used to feel.

The story a lot of founders are telling themselves is that something is off with their business. In this episode, Brooke offers a different way to look at it. The timeline has change...

This one is special — Brooke's first ever in-person podcast episode, recorded inside a local studio. If you're listening, head to YouTube to watch the video, because the experience of being in that room together is worth seeing.

One of the things that comes up in backend audits is that the backend is only part of the picture — and building a business that looks and feels like you on the outside matters just as much as wh...

When founders book a Backend Business Audit with Brooke, some come in with a specific problem. Others come in with everything — overwhelmed, scattered, not sure where to look first.

That second kind of founder almost always has the same gap underneath all of it: the client path hasn't been mapped. In this episode, Brooke breaks down what a client path is, what happens in a business when it isn't clear, and four questions to an...

One of the things that comes up in backend audits is that the backend is only part of the picture. When Brooke sees gaps in areas outside of her lane, she wants to make sure you have somewhere to go — and Carlianne Compton is one of the experts she trusts in that space.

There are four conversations happening right now in founder communities everywhere — about leads, offers, scaling, and visibility. Each one points to something real. And in each one, there's a backend gap sitting underneath the surface that's doing most of the actual work.

Brooke walks through all four: what the situation looks like, where the gap actually is, and what to look at before making the next move.

If you've ever heard the words "systems," "automations," or "backend" and thought , "what does that actually mean for my business?" This episode is for you.

Brooke breaks down exactly what a business backend is, why it matters, and what happens when the backend hasn't kept up with the business.

Whether you're just starting to notice the cracks or you've been holding everything together manually for years, this episode will help you s...

You did everything right. You built your business, you brought in clients, you figured out the tech. And somehow you are more exhausted than you have ever been in your life... even though this business was supposed to be the thing that gave you more freedom.

It all makes complete sense once you understand what's actually happening inside your business right now.

You left corporate to build something different. Something that felt like yours. And somewhere along the way the thing you built started feeling a little too much like the thing you left.

In this episode I talk about why that happens and what actually changes it. Including the moment in my own business where I realized I had left corporate but brought the corporate blueprint with me.

We Discuss:

• The corporate blueprint and how it ...

If you have hired a VA and it did not work out, or if you keep telling yourself you will hire one as soon as you get your backend cleaned up first, this episode is for you.

The problem is almost never the VA. And it's almost never you. It's the setup. And the setup has a fix.

In this episode I walk through exactly what needs to exist before you bring someone in, why the tasks living in your head are the real bottleneck, and what a VA...

Every time I get on a call with someone new, I ask the same question: What is the single most frustrating thing about your business right now?

The answer tells me everything. Not just what she thinks is wrong, but where I need to start looking and what questions I need to ask next. In this episode I walk through four of the most common answers I hear and exactly what I see and do when someone gives me each one.

Most of us carry the list around like evidence. The package that quietly disappeared. The course that launched once and never again. The coaching program that felt right until it didn't. The rebrand that eventually needed its own rebrand.

We call it a graveyard. We carry it as shame.

In this episode, Brooke reframes the whole thing. Because the women with the longest offer graveyards? They're often the most capable, the most skilled,...

For most of her life, Brooke was really, really good at performing. She knew exactly what every room expected of her, and she delivered. Until the season after having her daughter, when her body simply stopped cooperating with the performance, and she found herself under her desk at work having panic attacks, convinced she was broken.

She wasn't broken. The mask was.

In this episode, Brooke shares the postpartum season she never talk...

In this episode of With Brooke, Brooke talks about a kind of fear most entrepreneurs have never heard named before — fear of permanence.

If you’ve ever built something in your business, started seeing traction, and then suddenly felt the urge to pivot, burn it down, or start over… you’re not alone. And contrary to what many coaches say, it may not be fear of money, fear of success, or even fear of visibility...

There’s a very specific kind of self-doubt that I see in highly capable women and I’ve experienced it myself.

It sounds like:

• Why can’t I just stick with something?
• Why do I always feel the pull to refine, adjust, or shift?
• Is this growth… or am I sabotaging my own business?

When you’ve had multiple chapters in business... different offers, different identities, different seasons... it’s eas...
