The Brooke Hemingway Show

If you're in network marketing, affiliate marketing, direct sales, or social selling, this episode is for you. And even if you're not, but you’ve ever struggled with income insecurity, fear of losing what you’ve built, or wondering what your next move should be—what I’m sharing today will serve you.

I’ve built a seven-figure business in this space, and I’ve learned the difference between temporary success and lasting security. The truth? It doesn’t come from a company or a comp plan—it comes from you.

In this episode, I share 7 foundational truths that have created peace, confidence, and financial freedom in my life and business—even in an uncertain economy. These are the same principles that have allowed me to lead, pivot, and grow without fear for nearly a decade.

 In this episode, I talk about:

1. Why you're not your company—and why that matters
2. The power of building community that transcends products
3. How growing your personal brand creates long-term sustainability
4. Why developing yourself is the real game-changer
5. Casual behavior = casual income (and how to flip that)
6. The freedom that comes from diversified income streams
7. Why living below your means is the ultimate power move

Whether you’re just getting started or you've already built something big—these seven things will help you build wisely, with vision and stability.

Ready to diversify, elevate your brand, or grow in leadership? I’d love to hear what you're taking away from this episode.  And if you're looking to diversify your income, you can reach me over on Instagram or email me at [email protected].

In this short but deeply personal episode, I’m talking about something I know all too well—overwhelm. I’ve been there, and I’ve helped thousands of women navigate their way through it too. If you’re feeling stuck, shut down, or on the verge of burnout, this episode is for you.

I’m sharing the deeper why behind overwhelm—where it really comes from—and how it often shows up as a way to protect us from the fear of failure, rejection, or responsibility. But here’s the good news: we don’t have to live in that cycle. There’s another way.

In this conversation, I walk you through 5 powerful shifts that have helped me—and so many others—move from overwhelmed and overextended to peaceful, powerful, and in motion again.

In This Episode, I Talk About:

• Why overwhelm is more than just “too much to do”
• How trying to control everything actually leads to breakdown
• The real reason we often choose overwhelm over action
• 5 practical shifts to help you reset and reclaim your energy:
  1. Loosen the control – You don’t have to hold it all
  2. Allow more – Let go of rigidity and welcome flexibility
  3. Sift – What needs to stay? What needs to go?
  4. Soften – Replace judgment with self-compassion
  5. Move – Take one small, intentional step forward
• What to look for when you feel overwhelm creeping in
• Why perfectionism and pushing harder aren’t the answer
• How to create more space, ease, and clarity—even in busy seasons

A Reminder I Needed (and Maybe You Do Too):

“Overwhelm isn’t one single choice—it’s a stack of choices and beliefs. But you can unstack them. You can reset. You can move forward—one aligned action at a time.”

I’d Love to Hear From You:

If this episode resonated with you, would you send me a message or leave a review?

I’d love to hear how you’ve walked through overwhelm—or what you’re working on releasing right now.

Your story matters. Your work matters. And I’m cheering you on as you step back into your power.

In this episode, I’m joined by two of the most heart-centered, powerhouse women I know — Amberly Lago and Patrice Washington — and together, we’re sharing something incredibly special: the announcement of our Kauai Mastermind Retreat happening July 13–18, 2025.

This conversation isn’t just about an event. It’s about what happens when three women decide to say yes to something bigger than themselves — collaboration.

For a long time, I carried the weight of doing everything myself. And even though I could have hosted something beautiful on my own, I felt a divine nudge to co-create. To build something alongside women I trust, admire, and align with. So I reached out to Amberly and Patrice — and this episode captures what happened next.

We’re talking about:

• Why I no longer wanted to go solo — and why we all need each other more than we realize
• The moment Amberly and Patrice instantly said “yes”
• Why so many of us are stuck in the belief that we have to master everything alone
• What it looks like to create from joy instead of hustle
• The beauty of collaborating without ego, competition, or fear
• Why this retreat isn’t just for entrepreneurs — it’s for humans doing good work in the world
• The transformative magic of Kauai — and what’s waiting for you there

This is a conversation about redefining success, reclaiming joy, and coming home to yourself. Whether you're in business or not, if you’re feeling the call to pause, reconnect, and expand — this is for you.

After nine months away from the mic, I’m back—and I’ve never felt more aligned, more clear, or more ready to serve.

In this raw and powerful solo episode, I’m opening up about why I paused the podcast, what was really happening behind the scenes in my personal life and businesses, and how a single word—Revolution—changed everything. This isn’t just a rebrand. It’s a rebirth.

You’ll hear what it means to live a revolutionary life and why I believe it’s the call for every single one of us. Because it’s not about performance or perfection. It’s about divine alignment, truth, and purpose. This podcast is for those of us who are ready to stop waiting, stop pretending, and start showing up fully—spirit-led, purpose-driven, and unapologetically whole.

In this episode, I share:

• Why I stepped away and what the last season really looked like
• The moment the word revolution found me and why it hit so deep
• What rebranding my podcast and brand revealed about my evolution
• What it means to live a revolutionary life—in parenting, business, marriage, and self-worth
• The power of alignment, pausing without guilt, and saying no with confidence
• Why we don’t need to burn it all down—we just need to bring our truest self forward

What to expect from the new season:

• Deep, unfiltered solo episodes + raw, real interviews
• Tools, mindset shifts, and truth bombs to help you grow in spirit-led leadership
• Conversations that help you heal, expand, and step into the most powerful version of YOU

If you’ve ever felt like you were meant for more, but life handed you a season of stillness, struggle, or reevaluation… this episode will meet you right where you are.

 If this resonated with you… I’d love for you to rate, review, and share the show. Tag me on Instagram @hemingwayhalfdozen and use the hashtag #LivingARevolutionaryLife to share what hit home for you.

Let’s spread the message and spark a personal revolution—together.
Love you big.

Have you ever felt discouraged because you thought someone would show up for you, or perhaps they were actually “assigned” to help you, but didn’t? Or maybe you’ve held a grudge or felt wronged because someone let you down or just chose not to help. The path to success is filled with a lot of people and a lot of assumptions and expectations, too. It’s human nature. But I’m tackling this topic and what to do to move from victim to victor, to be self-empowered to create the dream you desire, and to remove resentment from unmet expectations.

It’s probably the biggest slower-down for your dreams.  Every time you go back and rehash the thing that went wrong, the person who wasn’t kind, the wrong turns, the hurt feelings, and anything else that steels from your forward movement- ESPECIALLY WHEN IT’S TO MULTIPLE PEOPLE - you are dragging yourself down. Of course, we all need to work through deep wounds and traumas but there are times when we become stuck in our story.  It’s time to move forward and today’s episode can bring to your awareness what stories need to stop being spread all around and what you can do to move into a reframe of what happened to empower you for your present life and future creations.

If you want to work with me this summer, I’m hosting a powerful High Performance Experience Coaching Program for 8 weeks + an immersive retreat from August 11-14th. To learn more go to: www.brookehemingway.com/events/
