On today’s episode, I am thrilled to have a woman and mother who has been an advocate for closing the gender gap throughout her career. ...

Brooke reflects on what it means to “have it all.” It took a dedicated husband, a sweet baby boy, a professional transition (and big leap of faith) to realize she is creating a life she loves.

Brooke loves spending time with her family, a glass of red wine with her girls (or alone), snuggles with her 2 year old boy and has a we...
