Brooke Snow is an author, meditation instructor, musician, podcaster, and parent who prefers to define herself by her qualities, rather than any of these roles. Reframing identity as traits (kind, thoughtful, determined) rather than titles allows Brooke to be so much more than the sum of her jobs.
Brooke explains why bad days are actually good when you can recognize your wins (however small), putting floors and ceilings on your daily productivity, where her S Curves as an entrepreneur and a parent inform each other, and why it’s not always a bad thing to be “self-centered.”

- How to Have a Good Bad Day: Set yourself up to benefit from a bad outcome and don’t be afraid to call an audible. Recognizing small wins from the past is so much healthier than lamenting what you still want to achieve in the future.
