The thing about asking me for advice…

The thing about asking me for advice is that you can. And here’s how…

 

Check out the “Ask Brooke” section above. Enter the name you want to use on the column, and fill out the form with your question however long or short. Ask me about love, life, family, work, and everything in between. I won’t be able to see your email address, so this is as private as it comes!

 

Once you send the email in, you’re giving me permission not only to respond, but to use it on the blog or on any Soapbox Therapy column.

 

Not all questions will be responded to…bummer, I know. But check back on the blog to see if your question is posted!

 

Just as a little disclaimer… I may edit your question for Soapbox Therapy. I will never change the integrity of your question, or add things to your voice, but I may need to make it shorter for the site, etc.…just as a heads up.

 

Ok, ask away!

 

And that’s the thing about asking me for advice!

 

Love,

The thing about Soap Box Therapy…

The thing about Soap Box Therapy is that it’s about celebrating human condition…

 

We are all a frikin’ mess on some level. It’s just the way it goes, so welcome to life, stay a while. So stop trying so hard to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous… cause you already are, just by breathing. If you feel like you’re trying too hard, you are. That’s it. Really, that’s it.

 

Here’s my shtick… I don’t know you, but I know if you are human, and I’m assuming you are, that you are beautiful- because that’s just how I roll. But you are also not perfect. Sorry to break it to you, darling. That’s OK though because perfection isn’t allowed in our little club. If you are perfect, go back to your planet, because earth doesn’t want you, you little alien child.

 

Soapbox Therapy is about connecting to one another with no judgment, no should’s, just connection, acceptance for where you are in the moment, and maybe a little sprinkle of tough love… oh, and I might talk about your childhood a bit. Sorry.

 

It’s important to get some food for thought once in a while, some advice about all the little things and big things that drive you nuts, that take up space in your mind, that cause ick in your body. And sometimes you don’t want to ask, you just want to listen and see if there is something you connect with, something that perks your interest and reminds you that you are in fact still a part of things.

 

There are also going to be times you don’t want to feel better…. You just want to eat the pint (or gallon depending on the situation) of ice cream and call it a night, or a week, or whatever.

 

I’m not here to push you to be ready for something your not, to feel something you don’t. But when you’re ready to go there, I’ll be waiting… on my soapbox.

 

And that’s the thing about Soapbox Therapy.

 

Love,
