I Cleaned Out My Closet… Here’s What I Learned


Hi friend,

Last week, we breathed together through Gratitude.

This week… we’re stepping into something many of us live inside without even noticing:

Chaos. Noise. Clutter. Mental overload.
The
pile we keep walking past.


A story…

Two days ago, I stood in my closet — overwhelmed, emotional, holding things I hadn’t touched in years.

Clothes that didn’t feel like me anymore.

Pieces from seasons I’ve already healed through. Things I kept out of habit, guilt, or… just because they’d always been there.

So instead of stuffing the feeling back down,
I sat in it. And I chose calm.

One hanger.
One shirt.
One shelf at a time.

And slowly — the chaos softened.

Not because life was suddenly easy, but because I made space inside a room where my nervous system could breathe again.


Maybe you’re holding chaos too.

A room you haven’t touched.
A thought you avoid.
A family dynamic that drains you.
A holiday schedule that feels like too much.

Sometimes choosing calm doesn’t look like spa days or oceans or silence…

Sometimes it looks like clearing a drawer.
Noticing your breath.
Saying one boundary out loud.
Or giving your mind 10 quiet minutes of presence.


Today, I made something for you...

A guided flow to help you…

• unwind the tight places
• breathe deeper than the season demands
• come back home to yourself
• soften internally even if life is still loud externally

Watch it — move with it — let your body remind you what calm feels like.

Even if everything around you is chaos.
Especially if everything around you is chaos.

Your body already remembers.

With love,
Brooke

I was praised for self-silencing & applauded for shrinking Hi friend, For most of my life, I lived up to being a Good Girl.Not because I was naturally quiet or compliant — I was actually wild, brave, loud, and full of fire. But early on, I learned the unspoken rules: Be sweet.Be agreeable.Be polite.Be small. Every room taught me something about who I was “supposed” to be — as a daughter, as a woman, as a wife, and especially as a Christian. And I followed those rules so wellthat I forgot I...

The Unplugging: From Punishment (From Myself) (Series 2 of 5 — The Unplugging Series) Unplugging from punishment, learning (all over) how to move with love not fear. It started as my dad’s voice. Then the church’s.And somewhere along the way, it became my own. For most of my life, I didn’t realize how deeply I was plugged into punishment. It started with someone else’s voice — 🌬️ a dad who made fitness an idol, who equated beauty with approval, who demanded performance over peace. And...
