"I talk to so many women who, you know, we talk about huddle and we talk about, I referenced, you know, back catalog friends, people who I've known for years and years, you are never too late to add to your huddle. You are never, it is, you are never too old to, to add to your circle of friends. And what Elise is alluding to is certainly something that I feel as well, which is, you know, we live in these various chapters in our, in our lifetimes, you know, things change. We go through different. We have these various aha moments, I think for you. And I, we've both really deepened our spiritual practices and our intentionality around life and what we wanna do and how we wanna share ourselves. And I think as we've been in these more vulnerable spaces on the other side of giant things, we've been a part of, we've gotten to know ourselves better." -Brooke Baldwin\n\nMany years ago, journalist Brooke Baldwin sat in her mother\u2019s bedroom and cried about the state of her career and her relationship\u2014and while she was grateful for her mom\u2019s attention and support, she had a simultaneous thought: Where were her friends? Thus became her quest\u2014ancillary to her daytime job as an anchor on CNN\u2014to find her huddle. In her mind, she wanted to reclaim the idea of huddle\u2014a macho sports term\u2014and apply it to groups of women working together for mutual goals, like joy, success, and intimacy. She wrote a book about this adventure\u2014understandably called HUDDLE\u2014where she explores the power of female friendship and camaraderie all over the country. And the way that when women come together, they achieve improbably awesome things. As her book went to press, she announced her time at CNN was coming to an end, and we met each other shortly after, when we were both feeling stripped down and open to new adventures. Brooke is now part of MY Huddle, and her enthusiasm for the power of friendship is palpable and contagious.\n\nMORE FROM BROOKE BALDWIN:\nHUDDLE\nFOLLOW BROOKE ON TWITTER\nFOLLOW BROOKE ON INSTAGRAM\n \nTo learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy\n \n Learn more about your ad choices.
