The Ultimate Art Project: Your Life Podcast: Wildly Creative Life — Grand Finale
After 8 years and over 300 episodes, this final sendoff is part pep talk, part confetti cannon, part tender hug — and all heart. In this closing chapter of Wildly Creative Life, I shares the most potent idea I've been saving ‘til now: your life is the ultimate art project. It’s not about perfection. It’s about intention, fun, and the wild beauty that shows up in the middle of melted popsicles, creative pivots, and whispered lullabies. This episode is a loving invitation to reimagine creativity — not as a polished product, but as the deeply human, often messy, always meaningful way we move through the world. Whether you’re listening today or years from now, this finale is here to remind you: You are the artist. Your life is the masterpiece. And you don’t have to wait another second to begin. ✨ Want to keep up with Brooke’s next creative chapter? Visit to grab a freebie and join the email list.

Self Improvement Burnout: the Cure Ep 302

Self Improvement Burnout: the Cure Ep 302
In a world obsessed with optimization, what happens when your quest to “be better” becomes a cage? In this episode, we’re breaking up with the exhausting chase of constant self-improvement—and reconnecting with the art of contentment. I’m diving into the pressure to upgrade every corner of our lives, and how it can quietly stifle our creativity, joy, and humanity. We’ll talk about how your definitions of a rich, successful, creative life can and should change over time—and how the ultra-optimized version of life (you know, waking up at 5am, cold plunges, perfect productivity?) might just be a little... boring. We’ll explore how news consumption adds to our background hum of unease, how maintenance (inspired by Angela Garbes’ Essential Labor) is its own kind of sacred creativity, and how your family, your marriage, your past work—all of it deserves to be lived in, not just leveled up. You’ll hear references to Shannan Martin’s wisdom about showing up in ordinary places, some big truths from dopamine and anxiety researchers, and an invitation to let your life be less of a highlight reel and more of a plot-twisty indie film—with beauty in every slow scene. If you’ve been tired of chasing the next version of yourself, this one’s for you.

Let’s Get Reckless: 4 Out-of-the-Box Creators’ stories to inspire Wild Abandon Ep 301
What if the thing you’re scared to do is the key to your creative breakthrough? In this episode, we’re diving into reckless creativity—the kind that ignores rules, disregards consequences, and burns the blueprint. I’ll share the stories of four out-of-the-box artists—David Bowie, Marina Abramović, Miles Davis, and Pablo Picasso—who weren’t afraid to follow the wild, uncomfortable, and sometimes unpopular path to transformation. You’ll hear: Why breaking your own creative “rules” might be the most loyal thing you can do to your vision How these legendary artists danced with risk, reinvention, and even failure The deeper invitation underneath reckless creativity (hint: it’s not about destruction—it’s about devotion) Whether you're in a rut, craving reinvention, or just want permission to color way outside the lines, this one’s for you. ✨ Ready to ditch the formulas and meet your wildest self?

The X Factor: How to Get It Ep 300
The X factor. That “je ne sais quoi”. Something you can’t quite put your finger on, something that’s hard to describe, but that pulls you in. What exactly IS the X factor and how do we infuse our creations with it so we have more impact and efficacy as creators? Maybe you find yourself in a creative situation where you’re hitting all the technical marks. Things on paper look like they should be going better than they are. Something is missing. Maybe you followed the outfit formula, but it looks a little off on you or doesn’t feel quite right. Maybe you are doing everything your biz coach advises, but your numbers are staying the same. Maybe you are choreographing a dance piece and everyone is telling you this one part doesn’t make sense and brings the piece down, but you can’t bring yourself to cut it. This is where the X factor comes into play–time to listen to your instincts and strategically break the rules, baby!

When the Hard Way is the Fun Way Ep 299
There are two opposite truths: hard is good, hard makes us stronger, push yourself to see what you can do, goals are for who you become in the process–and also: easy is good, the soft life, a firm rejection of ‘hustle culture’. So if these are both true, the wisdom comes in knowing when to apply each medicine. If you have food poisoning, allergy meds won’t do you any good. In this episode we’re gonna look at times in your creativity when the hard way is the fun way and how to make the hard fun on purpose in the process itself and in the long run.

Resurgence is my container for mamas where we untangled the story that we have to do everything for everyone and there’s no room for our creativity, where we stepped into what each mama’s fullest expression looks like right now amidst everything that’s on her plate, where I photographed them in their most beautiful essences, where we held space for each other and had aha moment after aha moment so that these mothers can actually walk into their lives integrating and fully embodying these ways of being instead of just intellectually consuming them on the podcast. In this episode I share my top 4 takeaways from the Retreat so you can get a jolt of creativity and step into your fullest expression amidst motherhood right now.

10 Ways to Manage Heartbreak w/ Creativity (Rebroadcast) Ep 293
Have you been a human being? Then you’ve probably experienced heartbreak, grief, and disappointment! this episode will help you bring more intentionality and soften those edges with not only your creative practice itself but with the meaning making and peace that can come from coloring these experiences with intention instead of just reaction. This episode is very personal and hitting close to home because I’m experiencing a heartbreak that feels super devastating to me, even if I feel like from the outside it shouldn’t be as big a deal to me as it is. I had to end a friendship, partially because of my own mistakes. And so when we talk about living a wildly creative life, you know I include everything in that, and a huge part of this is intentionality. So if you have experienced grief or a big disappointment or failure or made a mistake that you regret, In these experiences it often feels like we don’t have control (and yes control is an illusion ha!) but these ideas will help you feel a healthy sense of autonomy over your experience esp if you’re a deep feeler who tends to get lost in an experience like heartbreak or disappointment.

How to Stop Needing Validation Ep 290
Here with another sneak peek inside the Vault which is my monthly mentoring for photographers, but even if you’re not a photographer this sermon I gave to my girl Rita is one I’ve been giving myself recently as well and I know there’s a breakthrough for you here. To want validation is to be human. Our humanity is the most beautiful, valuable asset we have in our art. The thing that moves us when we experience great art, whether its a painting or a photograph or a cozy experience at a bed and breakfast complete with a warm chocolate chip cookie upon arrival is the HUMANITY. Even if we strive for excellence or even some version of perfection in what we create, we cannot strip it of its humanity.

The work stay at home mothers do, if paid in a salary, would be $184,820 per year and that doesn't even account for the generation-shifting, life-giving work like nurturing, breast feeding, and mentoring that can't be quantified with a number.) With all the giving you do, who's pouring into you? When you carve space for yourself, you rewrite the story for your kids; they see a mother claiming what she deserves: expression, power and thriving. Your creative expression is the way you alchemize every hard, impossible thing you've walked through into the most meaningful, gorgeous art. It becomes a gift to all. This is the process through which you compost your junk and hardships into something delicious, nourishing, edible, and delightful. JUST FOR A SEC, IMAGINE... + looking back on what you've made over the course of 6 weeks and being astounded + more impressed with yourself than you've ever been + finally realizing a vision you've had for years +the confidence that you've cracked the code on your creativity and the endless possibilities for your a It’s my honor to invite you into RESURGENCE the Retreat and 6 week experience!

Spark: Ignite your Creativity Amidst Motherhood (free workshop!) Ep 283
One of the GREATEST lies mothers have been told is that motherhood and creativity do not mix. That once you are raising small humans, the time for your own wild expression is past. If you spend time on creative pursuits as a mother, you're selfish. Just do it in your "spare time" once a month/once the kids are all potty trained/in school/graduated from high school. Or if you spend time on creativity as a mother, it better make you millions of dollars and impact millions of people, or it's not worth it. Forget the part where you created every eyelash, rib cage, nervous system, and brain cell for each of your children, with your body, without conscious thought. When you wait and put your creative pursuits on pause in the name of being there for your kids, you divorce yourself from parts of yourself. Your kids don’t get to see the whole you, and at worst you become a shriveled up shell of who you’re meant to be, feeling like you’ve “lost yourself.” It’s time to stop over giving and over functioning, because it doesn’t *actually* help our kids; I don’t want my kids to learn that it’s “normal” for moms to over extend to the point of burnout. I’m DONE with the do-it-all-and-don’t-let-them-see-you-sweat supermom archetype. I’m also not gonna be the “hot mess express” mom in the name of relatability.

Less Grit, More Resilience: How to Make Room for Growth that Doesn’t Make You Sacrifice Everything (Rebroadcast) Ep 282
We are obsessed with the idea that we should pick one dream or goal as early as possible and stick with it. We believe there will be incremental progress related to our hard work. But so many success stories aren’t like that - they are a million ‘wrong turns’ seemingly unrelated ventures, and then one that explodes, one moment that it all comes together. In this episode, I walk you through resilience and grit, and the importance of knowing the difference as a creative.

Kristin Sweeting is a wedding photographer + biz coach for creative people whose work has been featured in People, Brides, and much more. She’s the host of the Dangerous Creatives podcast + offers a mastermind and Study Abroad trips for photographers to help them create aligned businesses that prioritize rest. I got to talk to her while she is on summer sabbatical, so we talked details about how to make a sabbatical happen, her story and how she found herself in a position of needing to make serious $ from her photography after becoming a single parent, she breaks down the surprising things she did to move the needle there and she also breaks down her strategies for building multiple streams of revenue and exactly where to start.
