OnThe Verywell Mind Podcast, Amy Morin, LCSW, interviews authors, experts, entrepreneurs, athletes, musicians, and other inspirational people about the strategies that help them think, feel, and do their best in life.
She’s also a New York Times bestselling author. In 2005, her book ‘Down Came the Rain’ talked about the debilitatingpostpartum depressionshe experienced after the birth of her daughter and this helped reduce the stigma associated with postpartum depression. In 2014, her book, ‘There Was a Little Girl,’ chronicled her life growing up with a single mother who became her show business manager.
One of Brooke’s latest ventures isBeginning Is Now, a website that combatsageism. At age 56, she is showing women that life doesn’t end at 40. Instead, it’s just beginning.
Brooke has faced ageism both on and off the camera. But she acknowledges that some people might think she’s been part of the problem. After all, her career in the beauty and entertainment industry spanned decades.
But, now she is boldly speaking up against ageism, both inside and outside of her industry. She wants to break down the stereotypes that imply you’re too old to do certain things once you reach a certain age.
