The Calm Edge Podcast

What does it actually take to bet on yourself and build the business?

In this episode, Brooke sits down with the founder of Bashi, (a Kava powered NA drink) Nicole Funabashi for a candid conversation about entrepreneurship, self-worth, and learning to trust yourself before you have all the answers.

Nicole shares her journey from nearly a decade in finance to building her own company—and the personal work that happened alongside it. They talk about getting out of your own way, becoming less afraid of messing up, and believing you’re worthy of taking up space before you feel completely ready.

What happens when success stops being something you want—and becomes something you need in order to feel worthy?

In this episode, I sat down with author and executive coach Brooke Taylor to explore what she calls the success wound: the unconscious belief that our worthiness of love and belonging is tied to what we produce, achieve, and do.

Together, we unpack how this wound shows up in the lives of ambitious women, why achievement can never fully satisfy it, and how reconnecting with your true self can change the way you work, lead, and define success.

What if the next level of your career or business doesn’t require you to do more—but to finally own what you’ve already done?

In this episode, Brooke sits down with strategic communications coach and Brand You founder Laura-May Keohane to talk about why so many accomplished women struggle to speak confidently about themselves and their work. They explore the vulnerability of visibility, the inner critic that tells us we haven’t earned the right to take up space, and why the most powerful personal brand isn’t the most polished one—it’s the one that actually sounds like you.

Laura-May also shares how to think beyond your job title, communicate your bigger vision before you’ve achieved it, and start talking about yourself as the woman you’re becoming—not just the woman you are today.

Fertility isn't just about getting pregnant- it's one of the clearest markers of a woman's overall health. In this episode, Brooke sits down with Marta Han and Zsofia Jamieson, co-founders of The Fertility Class, to explore how specialized movement can improve blood flow to the pelvis, calm the nervous system, support healthy hormone balance, and prepare the body for fertility at every stage of life.

They discuss why preparation matters before IVF, how over-exercising can actually work against your hormones, and why fertility health isn't just for women trying to conceive - it's a foundation for lifelong wellness. Whether you're hoping to become pregnant, navigating hormonal imbalances, recovering postpartum, or simply wanting to feel more connected to your body, this conversation will completely change the way you think about women's health.

What if the next level of your life isn’t about becoming someone new — but having the courage to fully be yourself?

In this episode, I sit down with mentor, speaker, and PlateFit founder Rachael Blumberg for a powerful conversation about self-trust, authenticity, nervous system healing, and the life-changing decision to stop trying to be anyone other than who you truly are.

There are seasons in life when the practices that normally keep us grounded just aren’t available.

Maybe you’re navigating a health challenge, sleep deprivation, a major life transition, or simply trying to keep your head above water. The routines that usually help you feel like yourself have fallen away, and you're wondering how to get through it.

In this solo episode, Brooke shares a powerful lesson she learned during the first 18 months of motherhood while navigating vertigo, brain fog, sleep deprivation, and the reality of being "in it." She introduces a self-compassion framework and explains why self-compassion - not perfection, productivity, or pushing harder- may be the real secret to getting through difficult seasons.

If you've been hard on yourself lately, this episode is your permission slip to soften, breathe, and remember that you're not failing. You're just human.

What if anxiety, exhaustion, or overwhelm aren’t signs that you’re “broken”… but signs that you’ve been holding it all together for too long?

In this episode of The Calm Edge Podcast, Brooke sits down with licensed therapist Ilona Varo to explore the hidden fear so many high-functioning women carry beneath the surface: the fear of falling apart.

Together, they discuss emotional suppression, nervous system regulation, perfectionism, body image, and the pressure women feel to appear “fine” while silently struggling. Ilona also shares how anxiety can become a signal of misalignment, why slowing down can feel so uncomfortable, and how healing begins when we stop trying to control every emotion and start listening to what our bodies are trying to tell us.

This conversation is an invitation to stop performing okay—and start reconnecting with yourself honestly.

What if nervous system dysregulation isn’t just stress… but your body rejecting a life that no longer feels aligned?

In this episode of The Calm Edge Podcast, Brooke sits down with Dr. Jessica Sharratt - Doctor of Acupuncture, functional medicine practitioner, and co-founder of Heal EastWest - to explore the hidden connection between burnout, obligation, perimenopause, and chronic overwhelm in high-achieving women.

Together, they unpack why constantly overriding your needs, saying yes to misaligned obligations, and pushing through exhaustion can manifest as anxiety, hormonal imbalance, and even disease - and why one of the most healing questions a woman can ask herself is: “Do I actually have to?”

More women are having babies in their 40s than ever before - and it’s time to flip the narrative. In this episode, I sit down with WeNatal co-founder Vida Delrahim to challenge one of the biggest misconceptions in women’s health: that fertility is simply a function of age.

We talk about what’s actually impacting fertility today, why reproductive health is a shared responsibility between men and women, and how lifestyle, environment, and nervous system regulation all play a critical role in preparing the body for pregnancy.

This conversation is about moving from fear and pressure… to empowerment and possibility.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re “running out of time,” this episode will change the way you think about fertility—and what’s truly within your control.
