"That little voice within us... listen to it. Even when people around us try to drown us out, try to tell us no, try to gaslight us, try to tell us HOW we're feeling, WHAT we're thinking... listen to it because it's always right."

Friend, I am honored to bring you this honest and vulnerable chat with Brooke Baldwin, a celebrated journalist and former CNN anchor.

We chat about Brooke's experiences in journalism, her departure from CNN, and her insights on the media industry today. Brooke shares the personal journey she has been on, including finding her voice, growing in her faith, and her determination to leave a lasting impact by sharing her truth and encouraging women to use their voices.

There are so many opinions about journalists, what their motives are, and if we can trust them in 2025. Brooke is the real deal and my hope is that you walk away from this chat with more understanding of what it's like being a journalist.

Thanks for being here! Slide into my DMs on IG or chat with me on Threads @NicoleWalters.
