| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the Live Out Loud Show. I am so excited. I am Heather Torres, Brooke's bestie, |
| 0:06.7 | and Brooke, we're in book month. And I'm taking over the podcast. It's so much fun. We are sitting |
| 0:12.3 | here batching all the content because that's what we do as content creators. And I am so excited to dive |
| 0:16.9 | into this topic because to me, Brooke, I can't even wait for people to hear what you've put |
| 0:21.8 | into the book around this topic. And we're going to dive into what's holding a lot of women |
| 0:25.9 | back, which is actually creativity. And Brooke, it surprised me when I was reading through this chapter |
| 0:31.6 | that you, Brooke Thomas, actually struggled with not thinking you were creative. Let's talk about |
| 0:36.5 | that. I actually, my whole life thought I was not creative. I was told I was not creative. And the |
| 0:43.1 | reason why is because I could not sing and I never could draw in the lines or color in the lines. |
| 0:52.1 | So I looked. That's like a good thing for you, bro. Yeah. I actually thought that |
| 0:55.7 | creativity meant that you were really great at art or a really great singer. Okay. I know that sounds so |

| 1:07.3 | great lip singer. Okay. And I'm really'm really funny. And I'm really creative. |
| 1:12.1 | But I was told most of my life that I was not creative at all. |
| 1:16.2 | So I kind of took on that identity thinking I was not creative. |
| 1:19.2 | And it wasn't until my husband, seriously, like 15 years ago, he said, Brooke, you are one of the most creative humans I've ever met. |
| 1:26.7 | He goes, I think you were so stifled |
| 1:28.3 | by people saying you were not creative and then you took on that identity. You just thought you |
| 1:32.4 | weren't. He's like, but now you just like let it fly and you're like creating things all the time. |
| 1:37.6 | And it's true. And it's crazy because I actually believe that every single person is creative. Everybody's creative. And, |
| 1:46.1 | you know, I just, I can't believe that I took on that label for so long. It's so crazy to me |
| 1:51.5 | because for you, Brooke, it shows up in so many areas. I think of you as like the most creative |
