This week, I am joined by the incredible Brooke Siem. I had the honor of mentoring and supporting Brooke when she took my stage at the Speaker's Salon Showcase. And it was a privilege to witness the powerful and deeply personal big talk she shared. You can go back and listen to it in Episode 561.

In addition to being a transformational speaker, Brooke is a chef, advocate, and writer whose work on antidepressant withdrawal has appeared in The Washington Post, New York Post, Psychology Today, and more. Her memoir, MAY CAUSE SIDE EFFECTS, is the first book on antidepressant withdrawal to hit the mass market.

Brooke is a Food Network "Chopped" Champion, founder of the newsletter Happiness Is A Skill, and creator of the F*ckit Bucket™. I'm super excited for you to hear from her today!

In this episode, we'll explore:

• Brooke's "Yes Quest," a project where she committed to saying yes to every yes-or-no question for 50 days

• The experience of sharing her story on big stages

• The importance of trusting the process when preparing to give your talk

• Brooke's current favorites: Book: Cat's Cradle, Speaker: Kurt Vonnegut, and Podcast: The Art of Being Well with Dr. Will Cole and Tim Ferriss
