What if your first reaction to “my state of mind is the most important thing to me” was… that’s a little selfish? That’s exactly where Makayla started. In this episode, Brooke sits down with Makayla Wheeldon for an honest, wide-ranging conversation about navigating a demanding career, the realities of wedding planning, and what it actually takes to show up fully in a relationship. As they dig deeper, a new perspective begins to take shape — that being aware of your state of mind isn’t selfish at all. It’s a form of self-love. And when you love yourself enough to tend to your own mind, you show up differently for the people who matter most. Makayla begins to see that state of mind is the starting place for effective communication, deeper connection, and the kind of love that actually lasts.
