This week Dre is joined by award-winning journalist, bestselling author and TV host, Brooke Baldwin. For more than a decade, Brooke anchored her own live daily news show on CNN and was renowned for her versatility, authenticity, and humanity at the news desk. Her bombshell first person essay in Vanity Fair, “Leaving CNN Was How I Found My Voice,” as well as her weekly Substack “Unraveling, with Brooke Baldwin” are game changing displays of radical authenticity and the power of sharing our truths.

Her book, Huddle: How Women Unlock Their Collective Power explores the transformational benefits of women gathering and leaning on one another.

In this episode, Dre and Brooke circle around cultivating the courage to ask for help, our often unconscious participation in cultural standards and expectations that do not serve us, and how our individual unraveling is a part of our collective evolution for the highest good.
