What it really cost her to leave Deutsche Bank for reality TV
How fame has become a new form of currency for women in business
The pros and cons of having Brooks as an older sister and role model
Pretty privilege, corporate politics, and why she hid her Instagram from colleagues
What the show did for her career — and what it risked
The reality of inconsistent income, brand deals, and healthcare after leaving corporate life
Why she wants to use her platform to build tools for the freelance generation
The future of her startup Mary & Pip, and how she measures the ROI of fame
This episode isn’t just about reality TV or Wall Street. It’s about carving your own lane, defining success on your terms, and using your platform for impact.
♡ 01. fresh mist moments ♡
A few spritzes in the morning instantly reset my skin and my mood. It’s the little ritual that makes me feel alive and glowing.
♡ 02. caffeine with a kick ♡
Lately I’ve been loving a cleaner kind of energy. It keeps me sharp through busy mornings without the crash or jitters.
♡ 03. light and protected ♡
My go-to for feeling polished is something weightless that evens out my skin tone while protecting it from the sun.
♡ 04. everyday statement ♡
I love little details that make my phone feel as styled as my outfit. It’s small, but it adds personality to something I use 24/7.
♡ 05. barely-there color ♡
I’m into that effortless tint that lasts all day. No reapplying, no fuss, just the perfect flush.
♡ 06. mindset shift ♡
This book completely reframed the way I think about money and happiness. It’s a reminder that wealth is more than what’s in your bank account.
♡ 07. creative outlet ♡
My brand is my passion project. It’s where I merge purpose, creativity, and connection every single day.
♡ 08. everyday gloss ♡
I never leave home without a touch of shine. It’s simple, hydrating, and instantly makes me feel more put together.
♡ 09. morning radiance ♡
This serum is my secret weapon for tired mornings. A few drops and my skin looks awake, smooth, and ready for the day.
♡ 10. power dressing ♡
When I want to feel sharp, I reach for something structured yet feminine. The right blazer instantly changes my energy.
♡ Hot, Smart, Rich Tips ♡
♡ Hot Hack ♡
I budget for one big splurge a month—usually it’s an NAD drip, a facial, or a massage. I treat it like an investment in myself. If I had a good month and money’s coming in, I allocate more for wellness. Last time? A $900 NAD drip. Yes, it hurt. Yes, it was worth it.
♡ Smart Hack ♡
Freelancers don’t need more financial advice—they need less judgment.
That’s why I’m building Mary & Pip. Most people aren’t trying to become CFPs—they just want someone to explain how to open a retirement account, save when income’s inconsistent, and stop feeling like they're doing it all wrong.
♡ Rich Tip ♡
I had to turn down a $3K modeling job to attend a meeting for a job that paid me $215/day. That’s when I knew I had to quit. Corporate life had steadiness, but no freedom. When I did the math, it was game over. I stopped romanticizing the pay check and started building something of my own.

♡ Something People Don’t Know About You ♡
I was living a total double life—banking by day, modeling and content at night.
Most people don’t know that while I was working at Deutsche Bank, I was also running to photoshoots, filming a pilot for our show, and building the foundation for my startup. I was terrified someone would find out and think I didn’t belong in either world.
