I share my top ten favourite (yes, with a "u" cause we're fancy) lean protein sources - that aren't boneless skinless chicken breasts.

From my podcasting studio (aka my closet) in New Jersey, I talk about my experience with flippin' tables (vibrating exercise ones from the 80's and 90's to acupuncture tables) in my quest of weight loss and health gain. 

Growing up, dance was freedom for me...until I let my size and other people's opinions stop me.

King Cake is something I loved more when it played hard to get with me. I used to have a love / hate relationship with it but now it's all love because King Cake isn't just a delicious baked good you can only get one time a year (if you're lucky), it's a taste of home.

I'm talking about three of my plant based go to's that you can make easily, quickly and affordably to get your plant based lovin’ on

Brooke talks about the NOT SO PHAT (Pretty Hot and Tempting) Symptoms of living with PCOS (from inexplicable weight gain to unwanted facial hair and everything in between) and how she struggled finding out what was "wrong" with her in order to treat herself right.

What's a Louisiana girl in New Jersey to do when she's craving a biscuit? Make an occasion of it, of course. 

In this inaugural episode - P.Y.T. (Phatty Young Thing), I tell tales about my struggles with self acceptances before AND after losing 100 pounds and how it's my mission to rediscover my inner PHAT (pretty hot and temping) girl - that young child who loved and accepted herself no matter what. I take us back to south Louisiana on Halloween in the late 1980s when I experience my first body shaming while wearing my beloved homemade genie costume (made by my Momma, of course). I riff on body expectations, specifically for females of all ages and question why society makes it so hard for us to just love ourselves as we are? Why do we make it so hard to love ourselves just as we are?
