More Than Sweat
More Than Sweat is a natural extension of Brook Benten's 2024 book, "Sweat with Brook Benten." In both, Brook encourages movement and emboldens humans to go at hard things with gumption.
With every word of every episode and every page of the book, she guides her audience to a world of well-being where worth has nothing to do with a workout.
She encourages listeners to walk as they tune in to episodes. In season one, every episode is synchronized to music to guide a walking pace.
But the message is always more than sweat.
This podcast exists to guide growth.

More Than Sweat
Season 2, Episode 10: Becoming Sturdy
When you plant a tree, it’s not sturdy. It’s a fragile seed that is nurtured to a fragile trunk with fragile limbs. With rich soil, light, water, and time, it can grow sturdy.
So can you.
Whether you’ve survived “t” trauma or “T” Trauma, you have experienced brokenness.
Repair will be a lengthy process.
“You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it.” Margaret Thatcher
You can be sturdy again. But you’ll never actualize sturdiness with hopes that you may be a passive witness to the process. You’re the orchestrator. You are both the gardener and the tree.
Here’s how I became sturdy— the thirteen minute version of it.
If you feel broken or fragile right now, lean on me. I can be sturdy enough for both of us.
