How did Brooke Burke’s public firing from Dancing with the Stars spark a new career?
Hi friends, welcome back to the Tamson Show. I am so glad you're here. You know, today's conversation is with Brooke Burke, who I've watched from afar for a long time. She is a celebrity host. She won Dancing with the Stars. She hosted Dancing with the Stars for years, and on the outside, this amazing, beautiful woman. At the same time, she's dealt with rejection. She was fired from her job very publicly. She dealt with thyroid cancer. She's dealt with two divorces. And at 54, she has been through so many different chapters. And so I just felt really parallel to her in so many ways. I wanted to have her on the show to talk about it. Right now, these days, she talks a lot about wellness. She lives it and breathes it.
But at the same time, I really wanted to get honest with her, and she was really candid. About what she's gone through and how she got to where she is today. By the end of this episode, though, what I really want is for you to walk away understanding about timelines, what it means to build your next chapter, and how to get through rejection and some of the other things that life throws at us. Before we start though, if you are new here, thank you so much for being here. I'm excited to have you as part of the community. And if you have been here and not left a review, I'm gonna call you out and ask you if you could do that. for us. Leave a five-star rating for us on Apple or Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.
All right, let's go ahead and get into it with Brooke Burke.
Brooke, it's so good to see you. I'm happy to be here. And nice to meet you. You as well. I love what you're doing, by the way. Well, back at you, I thank you.
I'm looking at women during this time in life, and I don't know about you. I'm 55. And I look around and I'm like, I had no idea this is where I or we We're all gonna be at this age. And I think we have some parallels, you know, in our in our younger years. But
we remember being younger where you never thought you were first you wanted to be twenty and you were rushing. Yes. And then you were never gonna be thirty, but you were never gonna make it to fifty. Fifty You're crushing it. But so are you? How's fifty four feel to you? It feels really good. I'm actually in a similar space that you're in, educating women and celebrating this decade of life, which most women are not, and I know we're gonna get there. It's scary, it's mysterious, it's uncharted territory. I love this decade, and there's been A lot that has brought me to this space. I love this decade and I'm looking forward to sixty, seventy, eighty and on up.
Are you? 'Cause I am. I wonder about I'm like, okay, we're in our fifties. Are we gonna say that in our sixties and our seventies? And I I feel like it's very, very different than it was uh, you know, especially for my mom's generation because I d she never even got to that that place. But even for women maybe ten years ago.
I think it's a slippery slope. I really feel like the narrative has changed so much. If we would have sat down together ten years ago, it would have been a very different conversation. The space that I'm sitting in right now and surrounded by a community of women that I support and uplift and hopefully inspire are women that have been groomed and trained that menopause was gonna suck and it was gonna be really hard and you were gonna lose your libido and the body was gonna change and the belly fat was gonna show up and you just were gonna show up in this different scary space. And it's the dreaded decade. And I think that's part of the reason why I'm so obsessed with studying the psyche of a woman, the why, the how and the where we are today.
I don't agree with any of that. Anymore.
Yeah, but early on I was petrified of it all.
Well, of course we were. First of all, no one was talking about it, which is why I love this pod and what you're doing and that's menopause is having a moment and that you're living out loud, so am I. No one was talking about it, so there was a little bit of um Fear, a lot of fear, a little bit of shame.
