This episode is about black and white thinking and how deeply it can shape the way we move through life without us realising.

Brooke reflects on how growing up in systems that reward “right” and “wrong” can teach us to believe there is only one correct way to do things. Over time, that belief can stop us from trying new things, learning, and enjoying the process of getting better.

She shares personal examples from school, art, cooking, exercise, and play, and how unlearning this way of thinking has opened up more freedom, creativity, and self-trust in her life.

This episode is a reflection on nuance, permission, and finding your way back to curiosity instead of judgment.
