Reclaim with Brooke

11/21/2025

I was recently asked what is the biggest red flag behavior to me. The first thing that came to mind is entitlement.

A person who has not done reflective work to understand how to be a part of humanity as an equal, is not someone I would trust with anything.

The reality is, most of those people will never do any type of reflection, because their time and energy is spent on creating barriers to have power over others.

That is an oppressive spirit. That is a person who believes at a core level, that they are more important than other people.

You can immediately think of many political figures, but it’s everywhere. It’s religious leaders who slip into demanding people see them a certain way or insist they be followed.

As you continue to heal, please be careful with anyone who others, isolates, or demeans you. Dismissing this red flag, will cost you more than you’re willing to offer.

You’re healing is important. It doesn’t need to be explained to them, in order for you to remain focused on your truth.

Sending peace and compassion.

I’m glad you’re here.

For every woman who has ever been told to hush, behave, or be nice by small, scared, embarrassing men…

Your voice is not a problem.

Your awakening is not a threat.

You are allowed to say enough.

Call us whatever you want, because your labels never defined us anyway, but quiet isn’t on the menu anymore.

We’re awake now.

And baby, we’re done being small.

Enough.

TW ‼️⚠️ Take 2 since my first didn’t have the best first slide & made some edits - larger words too after getting feedback of tiny font.

My intention is to share my very vulnerable lived experience to highlight why not just MAGA, but predominantly MAGA, has a hard time shifting their views - it’s deeper than you think. It’s a psychological mechanism and why they outcast the “others” even in their own family - and why that proves to the group to keep in groupthink even if it’s factually dangerous.

Please be kind. Any negative or critical comments will be deleted. This is to help anyone who’s gone through this or validate those who are scared to say “I was wrong” and a permission slip to think about breaking free.

Solidarity across the board, friends.

Thank you SO much to and .being for continually collabing, and now also 🫶🏼❤️ you can untag or remove the first post today if you’d like! Sorry 🫠

Shame is MAGA’s weapon.
Exile is their punishment.
Control is their love language.

Checkout my newest article on Substack about my survival story, and why I believe it is incredibly hard or next to impossible for members to change their minds, leave MAGA and admit they’re wrong from a deeper trauma informed lens.

If you’re a part of MAGA and need help wrapping your mind around this and leaving, l’d love to connect. Book a tree consult today, link in bio and click “Work with Brooke.”

Link in bio for Substack too. Much love friends.
