Brooke Burke on Living Her Dream, Getting Fired, and Rediscovering Herself
Episode description as stored
After eight seasons of co-hosting Dancing with the Stars, Brooke Burke got the call that she was being let go. At 53, she could have stayed stuck—instead, she turned that setback into Brooke Burke Body, a thriving wellness community redefining what it means to age with strength.
In this candid conversation, Brooke opens up about reinvention in your 50s, why slowing down is not falling behind, and how she learned to regulate her nervous system, lift heavy after 40, and embrace perimenopause with grace.
If you're navigating a career pivot, midlife change, or just wondering what's next—this one is for you.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- The real story behind being let go from Dancing with the Stars and how she walked away with grace
- How she turned a career setback into Brooke Burke Body, her wellness app and community
- Brooke’s tips for nervous system regulation and how lowering cortisol helps your body finally "let go"
- Why Brooke says cardio isn't enough for women after 40 and how to protect muscle and longevity
- Her mindset shift from disconnected and high-achieving to present—and how to change your inner dialogue
