As a TV host, entrepreneur, fashion designer,
fitness guru, CEO, philanthropist, model, and mother of four with a
hectic work schedule, Brooke Burke-Charvet is truly a Modern Mom. Born
and raised in Tucson, Arizona, she won the 7th season of ABC’s Dancing
With The Stars in front of an estimated audience of 20 million viewers,
then went on to host the hit show for seven seasons.
And, parents beware: there’s even a Report Card that kids can download and use to let their parents know if they’re making the grade. Questions include: Does your parent make you feel safe and protected? Does your parent lead by example? Does your parent spend quality time/play with you? Does your parent value your opinion? And, that seemingly small but relentlessly significant weekday issue: Does your parent pack good lunches and snacks?
Brooke’s careful to point out, however, that it isn’t for kids to judge you. Instead, she says “it’s an exercise for parents to create dialog with their children, for self-exploration, to check yourself and see where you’re at in their life.”
If this stunning, modern mom’s plate isn’t full enough, her first book, Naked Mom: A Modern Mom’s Fearless Revelations, Savvy Advice, and Soulful Reflections, was published by North American Library (NAL) in 2014. She wrote it, she says, “to share my journey as a mother, the good and bad, what I screwed up, what I did right, and what I’m figuring out. A lot of people in this business don’t want to share that stuff,”she adds. “But I can only be honest. I tell it all, and have no shame, and share it all because I know someone else is going through the same thing.”
Brooke also shared her passion for business and fitness by launching her own line of women’s active wear, Caelum, in Nordstrom last year. Inspired by the culture of an active lifestyle and the challenge to stay stylish and fit, Caelum —an acronym for create, active, evolve, live, uplift, and motivate—blurs the lines that separate daily life, health, style and fitness. >>> Full Article Here <<<
