Brooke was a stay-at-home mom before becoming an Administrative Assistant to a V.P. at a Fortune 100 Company. After suffering great emotional and financial losses which left her impoverished, Brooke renewed her strength through action and contemplative prayer, focusing on contentment and being. She has now discovered new purpose, reaching out to women in the margins and to suburban women, while working with disabled children at Columbus City Schools. However, it was while Brooke was homeless in downtown Columbus that she discovered vast peace and happiness in who she is.Wherever Brooke shares her story, women are open to new opportunities for understanding the secrets of being happy, regardless circumstance, and their lives are changed as a result. The most common question she encounters is, "with all you have been through, how can you be so happy?" Her simple, yet profound answers have brought insight and inspiration to other women, and Brooke wants to share the secrets of happiness with you. Brooke's intimate conversation will take you on a journey through the homeless shelters where you will discover, side-by-side with her, the art of being happy through five secrets she discovered along her journey to her new home.
