She realized it wasn't her passion while she was student teaching. Her mom founded Forsyth Women Magazine 16 years ago. She started working for her mom as an ad salesman, working on commission. She had a lot of doubt, fear, and worry about how much money she'd “wasted” on her education. Now, she can see that it wasn't a waste of money and that she learned a lot. It's OK to grow, and to grow out of a position. It doesn't mean that the time wasn't well-spent because it's a time you were growing and learning. She found the positives. Stepping away from what you're comfortable with is a great first step, and sometimes the scariest thing to do She's hosting the “Women on the Move” leadership conference this Spring. It'll be a day of growth, learning, networking, fun and supporting local people. What's her advice to someone who's struggling to step into the opportunity? - You don't want to wait too long, especially when it comes to personal development. - If you've been thinking about self development but afraid to get yourself out there, network. You can't build relationships without putting yourself out there. - Will your future self thank you for this? If the answer is yes, don't wait for it. A lot of listeners are busy, driven women. What does Brooke do to create balance? - Exercise is her non-negotiable. - Listen to your body. It's not intense all the time, sometimes it's stretching, walking your dog, or a twenty minute power nap. J.Go's Self Love Language Quiz: - If you can't find your self love, it's hard to receive it from others. - Physical Touch: Massages, soft blankets, moving your body, napping, skincare, showers, bath. - How do you give words of affirmation to yourself? Positive self talk, finding gratitude, daily affirmations, journaling, self improvement, investing in yourself, surrounding yourself with community that lifts you up.
This week, Forsyth Magazine's own Brooke Eagle opens up to listeners about hard truths and lessons she has learned throughout her life.

The holidays can be festive and fun, but let’s be honest, they're also stressful. Whether it’s struggling to find the right gift, dealing with bickering relatives, or just trying to conjure up some of that Christmas spirit...it can be overwhelming. That’s why this week on Now or Never, Ify and Trevor are throwing on their Santa hats and spreading some holiday magic with the first ever Now or Never Holiday Helpline. After a very tough year, where one of them battled breast cancer and the other lost their job, Leanne and Wayne Doppler are having a hard time getting into the holiday spirit. Little do they know a “Now or Never” surprise is about to change all that. Meet Steven Hardy, who has spent so many years scrambling to find presents on Christmas Eve, that he started a support group for all the last-minute shoppers out there. After deciding that her family was going “present-less” for Christmas, Wanda Laurin received some push-back from relatives and in-laws. Not wanting to feel like a holiday Scrooge, she reaches out to the “Holiday Helpline” for advice, and just like Santa on Christmas morning...it delivers. Zameer Karim and Emily Goldsmith grew up with very different versions of a holiday dinner. In four days, they’ll be celebrating their first Christmas together as a couple AND finding out what it takes to blend traditions as their families meet for the very first time. When Wendy Onslow lost her husband three months ago, she knew the holidays were going to be hard. She's struggling to go Christmas shopping, so Ify and Trevor help her find the perfect gift for her daughter. It’s the season of giving and Brooke Eagle wants help showing her 9-year-old son what a little act of kindness will do, especially to a complete stranger.
