Why I'm a force to be reckoned with. Why are you? Amp your SELF confidence today!
Brooke Brodack delivers a rapid-fire, electrifying declaration of self-confidence that doubles as a challenge to viewers: why are YOU a force to be reckoned with? She rattles off an impressive and deeply personal list — drinking from glass cups to avoid cadmium and lead, ditching Teflon pans five years ago, keeping her cell phone away from her head for over a decade, and dedicating more than 500 hours to pure meditation and nothingness.
The intensity builds as Brooke recounts trekking 3,000 kilometers through the Himalayas with no money, surviving on sheer faith in God. She reflects on being one of the first YouTubers to land a mainstream media deal, acknowledging that the YouTube culture everyone knows today would not exist without pioneers like her — even as that pivotal role is denied by powerful creators and businesses. She gave birth standing up with no drugs, has lived all-natural for over a decade, and is unashamed to declare herself beautiful, wonderful, amazing, and smart.
What elevates this video beyond a simple confidence booster is Brooke's honesty about the full spectrum of her experience. She has looked darkness in the face and responded with love. She once spent eight hours convincing an RV dealer to refund a mold-infested vehicle. After years in India, she can wear jeans in 130-degree heat without breaking a sweat. And despite not receiving much generosity during her own hardest times, she knows she will share abundantly if she ever gets rich again. It is a powerful invitation to own your story and celebrate your own strength.
