Episode 162: Brooke Lee on Body Confidence, Acting, PCOS and Endometriosis | Say It With Your Chest PodcastThis podcast episode of Say It With Your Chest with Tamara Meyer features Brooke Lee in a powerful conversation about body confidence, body positivity, acting, chronic illness, and learning to own your voice in every season of life.Brooke opens with a bold statement on why we need more films with curvy women where the story is not centred on how they look. From there, Tamara and Brooke explore the deeper realities behind self-image, the pressure women face in the entertainment industry, and how your relationship with your body is never a straight line. Brooke also shares how confidence shifted for her over time, from being blissfully unaware as a child to questioning whether she needed to lose weight to succeed in acting.This episode also dives into Brooke’s experience with PCOS and the long road to diagnosis, the unspoken impact of body struggles, and the emotional truth behind living with endometriosis. You’ll also hear about the hidden side of being an introvert in public-facing spaces, intuitive acting, saying no to a major role that clashed with her wedding, and why trusting the universe has shaped the way Brooke says yes to life and creativity.If you’re a woman navigating identity, body image, ambition, health, or self-worth, this episode will make you feel seen.Chapters: 00:00 Brooke’s opening statement on curvy representation in film 01:01 Welcome to Say It With Your Chest 01:47 Why representation matters on screen 03:34 Authenticity, body image, and self-acceptance 05:13 Acting, weight pressure, and self-worth 06:37 PCOS, diagnosis, and body struggles 08:10 The most misunderstood thing about Brooke Lee 10:16 Intuitive acting and choosing aligned roles 11:17 Turning down a dream role for her wedding 14:03 Saying yes to opportunities and creative courage 15:47 The power of language and mindset 16:36 Endometriosis, surgery, and normalising pain📩 DM "SIWYC" on Instagram to @tamarameyercoach to get an exclusive offer for our listeners 🎧 Please LIKE, COMMENT, and SUBSCRIBE for more business, branding, and content creation strategies!
