Meet Maddison Brooke

We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Maddison Brooke a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Maddison , we’re thrilled to have you sharing your thoughts and lessons with our community. So, for folks who are at a stage in their life or career where they are trying to be more resilient, can you share where you get your resilience from?

I’ve had early life experiences that, both fortunately and unfortunately, forced me to build resilience from a young age. It’s now programmed into my nervous system to withstand intense stress and recover quickly. While I’m deeply grateful that my life today feels peaceful both personally and professionally, I carry a grounded knowing that I can survive anything that comes my way.

One of the most pivotal tools in maintaining that resilience, while also allowing peace into my life, has been nervous system regulation through meditation, along with a strong support system. I believe humans are not meant to navigate life alone. When we open ourselves to healing our emotional and intuitive bodies, we naturally align with the people who remind us where the light is, even in our darkest moments.

Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?

I’m a Soul Contract Medium and Retreat Guide. My life’s work (and my podcast, The Cosmic Collective) is centred on guiding gifted adults and their children into alignment with their Soul’s Purpose. We are living through the most transformational time in Earth’s galactic history, and every Soul has incarnated with a clear intention for what they came here to change. Helping people remember that purpose and reclaim their power through it, is the reason I am here and why I’ve build my company, ENDORA.

What excites me most is working with spiritually gifted people who, like me, often felt unseen and unsupported growing up. Many of my clients are intuitive, creative, and highly sensitive individuals who were taught to doubt their gifts and their intuition. Guiding them back to their inner knowing, their intuition, and their natural talents so they can live fulfilling lives and help transform the world is my greatest privilege.

A major focus of my work specifically involves supporting spiritually attuned children. I grew up as a child medium and experienced firsthand how challenging it can be when parents lack understanding and are unequipped to support their child’s intuitive gifts. One of the most meaningful aspects of my work is offering families a multidimensional parenting framework that allows these children, and their entire families, to flourish.

What sets me apart from others in this space is that my work is not only spiritual, it is deeply human. I have survived trauma. My early life and teenage years were marked by relentless challenges that forced me to grow up quickly. Because of that, I hold an extensive depth of empathy that allows me to meet people exactly where they are. I help them understand why their Soul chose certain life experiences and how those moments were designed to shape them: for their benefit and the benefit of the collective. That clarity often becomes the key to healing.

At our core, humans are not only seeking connection; we are seeking meaning. We want to understand why we are here, what we have lived through, what our lives are meant to contribute, and what legacy we want to leave behind.

I help people remember all of that, and beyond. Then I help them step into the greatness they were born to embody and use their story as fuel, to create the change in their lives and this world that they once thought was impossible.

Currently, I am focused on expanding our global retreat offerings, supporting parents of spiritually gifted children, and preparing for the release of a new body of work that will make Soul Contract guidance more accessible around the world.

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?

The first quality that had the biggest impact on my journey was my mediumship and intuition. We are not taught to trust our inner knowing. In fact, most of our social conditioning teaches us the opposite. We are pushed to seek external validation for who we are, what we feel, and what we know. Even though my connection to my intuition was innate and profound, I still had to learn that trusting it was more important than fitting in. That brings me to my second point.

Learning to accept who I am was its own journey. I had to let go of the fear of standing out, or being invalidated and ridiculed for what I am capable of as a medium. That process went hand in hand with learning to trust my intuition with a depth that required me to heal the relationship I had with myself. Not just for my work, but for the benefit of the collective and for others who are spiritually gifted like I am. What helped me most was realizing that no one knows me better than I know myself. If someone could not accept my truth because they didn’t understand it, then they were not meant to walk beside me as I grew into my authenticity. That process was life-changing.

The third and most powerful tool I developed was the ability to assert my boundaries confidently. Personally, professionally, and publicly. We live in a people-pleasing culture that teaches us that others know best. That belief is simply untrue. Learning to say, “I love you, but I will not tolerate this behaviour,” or to affirm publicly, “I am here to teach and guide, but you do not know me and you do not have the right to project your narrative onto my path,” has been crucial. It has expanded me while simultaneously empowering my clients and podcast listeners. Expanding on this experience: I’ve noticed that some individuals assume they will be the exception to boundaries. Whether that be our loved ones, or members of the public that we connect with more frequently than others. They are not. There are no exceptions. That truth used to scare me. Now, I am proud of it. And I encourage everyone, especially my clients, to reach the same level of conviction about what they will and will not tolerate in their lives and their relationships.

My advice is this: Find what lights you up. Find what nourishes your Soul, and pursue it with everything you have. If others dislike you or cast judgement on you for choosing to bring more love into this world, let them go. As long as you’re not hurting anyone, keep going. Turn inward. Look at the wounds that cause you to seek validation and acceptance from people who do not support your growth or who do not see your authenticity. When you can identify why you look to others before you believe in yourself, you create space for healing. That healing breaks the inner cycle that keeps you small and teaches you to conform. From there, you begin to live your truth. And that is when your Soul’s Purpose becomes undeniable.

How would you spend the next decade if you somehow knew that it was your last?

I’m proud to say I would live it exactly the way I am now. That is the power of living your Soul’s Purpose. When you are aligned with it, you live without regret.

That said, because I love my work so much, I would probably create more space to work remotely in different parts of the world and take a bit more time off to nourish the relationships that mean the most to me. I’d likely also record a series on my podcast “Everything I’m doing to enjoy my last decade of life” just to document the journey and inspire others.

Otherwise, I would keep going exactly as I have these past five years. And maybe go skydiving, just for the fun of it.
