Hello from My Porch 🌸☀️☔️🍁

Hey sweet friend,

On July 8th, life forced me to slow down — in the most bizarre way. I stabbed my hand on an avocado seed (yes… it’s okay to laugh or cry), and what seemed like a small kitchen accident turned into nerve and artery surgery, three months of recovery, and a full stop to so much of what I was “used to” pushing through. 🥑🔪

I couldn’t create the way I normally do.
I couldn’t rush.
I couldn’t grip — literally or emotionally.

Somewhere in the slowness, I found myself spending hours on my front porch. At first, I thought I was just “waiting to heal my finger”… but it quickly became clear: something deeper needed attention.

Even though my pace changed, I didn’t disappear from my life.
I still showed up for my family, for moments of joy, for community — but this time, I didn’t push past myself to do it.
​
I let life be simpler.
Real.
Gentle.

For three months, life slowed me down enough to hear myself again — not the noise, not the expectations, not the messages I absorbed about how a woman should be… but me.

I’m 48, on the edge of a new era, and I’m learning to love the woman I am becoming.
​
She’s more grounded. More aware. More honest.
Less performing.
More being.

🌬️ The last four months have felt like a portal — one I didn’t ask for, but I’m strangely grateful for. I walked through it because I knew staying the same wasn’t an option anymore. 🥲

And I think you might understand that feeling, too.

If any part of this landed in your chest, will you hit reply and just say “I’m here.”​
You don’t have to explain anything.

✏️ I’ll be writing to you more regularly again — not with pressure or perfection — but with honesty, softness, and the kind of sisterhood that reminds us we don’t have to hold everything together to be worthy of love.

With honesty and a porch-deep breath,
Brooke 🤍

P.S. I’ll share some gentle life photos & deeper understanding of where I am in my next email — more healing and living insights. I think you’ll feel it all, too.

P.S.S This won’t be a typical “fitness newsletter.”
Yes, I’ll still share updates about BrookeRobinsonFit {BTRIBALFIT} — but this will be more than workouts and wellness tips.

If movement would feel supportive right now…​
November’s new BTRIBALFIT workouts are ready when you are.
No pressure — just a resource if your body is asking for a little loving structure.
