Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Bree Cook. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Bree , appreciate you joining us today. Was there a defining moment in your professional career? A moment that changed the trajectory of your career?

2020 was one of the craziest years I’ve lived through. Covid was happening and I noticed a decrease in my mental health and in those around me. It was a few months into 2020 and I started my coaching career. I told my husband I wanted to help more individuals. I wanted to make a bigger impact on the world. I loved my Life Coach and the tools he gave me. I decided to become one myself. Fast forward to 2022, I took the opportunity to speak as a panelist on stage. It was then that my career changed forever. I became more confident in what kind of coach I wanted to be, and that was a Confidence Mentor and Mindset Coach, who helps women find the Ultimate Confidence in themselves so they can create an Extraordinary life.

Had I not taken the opportunity to speak on stage, I wouldn’t be helping the women I am today. Once I stepped out of my comfort zone, things began to take off!

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

My name is Bree Cook. I am a Confidence Mentor and Mindset Coach. I help women find ultimate confidence in themselves, so that they can undoubtedly create an extraordinary life.

I grew up in a small town in central Utah. I grew up with four amazing siblings, and amazing parents. Growing up in my family we had a great passion for extreme sports. Fear was not a word in my vocabulary. My parents always encouraged my siblings and I to dream big. As a kid, we got so many opportunities to live an extraordinary life. We had dirtbikes and learned how to race motocross, snowboard, wake board, and I played various sports like softball, soccer and ran track. I was unstoppable, fearless, awake and confident, ready to take on the world.

Growing up in a small town was difficult. I didn’t fit the mold that that small town wanted me to. I was judged for having a different belief system than most. I would like to say I never did listen to the negative people around me. Until I started listening to one of the most negative people that was a huge part of my life, and that changed everything. That’s when my first boyfriend stepped into the picture. At first, everything was perfect, until it wasn’t. I wanted to plan a life with this person, I wanted us to create a beautiful future together. I felt like he was never interested in my dreams, and the more I felt that way, the harder I tried to make him interested. I tried so hard I began to change everything about myself. I lost myself completely and this led me into the biggest downward spiral.

Part of this downward spiral was stepping into the most emotionally, mentally and physically abusive relationship I had ever stepped into. I allowed a so-called man, who was much older than me, to order and push me around. This was so out of character for me. I was supposed to be dad and mom’s strong daredevil who accomplished her dreams. At this point I didn’t even know who Bree was. Or if it even mattered.

This vicious cycle of allowing men to treat me like shit, continued for another year. To this day, I can’t tell you exactly what came over me. I was stuck in a relationship that was going nowhere and I decided to leave. This time was different. This time, I was waking up.

I started to seek help from a professional because I was seeing myself wanting to fall back into those patterns. And that- That was when I began to wake up. This experience for me is the one that truly saved my life. My coach helped me realize that I was in control. I was in control of my mood, I was in control of how I allowed others to treat me. I began to realize that I had my own dreams, those dreams I had of becoming something more as a child, they were still very much there.. So, I set new goals and I started accomplishing them, one at a time. I opened a new Salon and Coaching Business, I started sharing my story on stage and helping women around the world!

This new me, or old me.. She was ready for take off. I feel Confident. I feel free. I feel accomplished. I feel unstoppable. I feel awake! After making these decisions that would change my life, I am the most confident I have ever felt. I feel like I was five years old on my little peewee w-50 at the front of the pack, winning the race. I am more confident in my body, and I want to take care of it. I am aware of my mindset and learned I can change it anytime I would like. I am a more open and honest person and I have attracted open and honest people. I am having the time of my life and I have the ultimate confidence to achieve anything I set my mind to. I discovered self love. I discovered what it felt like to be woke. With self love, came the most amazing and supportive husband. One thing I will always remember is my little brother telling me “Bree! You literally Skyrocketed!”

It’s so easy to forget why we started on our journey in the first place. A few years ago, I received a token after I finished my coaching program. On it was a butterfly, it read “Transformations of the heart.” This is now why I tell myself to stay awake. Just like a caterpillar knows it has to go through the hardest part to make its cocoon, it’s about to have the most beautiful wings, and those will never be taken away.

I believe you can create an extraordinary life. When we choose to wake up from our years of sleep, we overcome limiting beliefs. We find out what our goals are, we decide we want to love ourselves. We learn how to align our mindset with reality to create extraordinary goals and dreams.

I use a three step process in my coaching programs. These three steps are Awaken, Align, Achieve. I offer three, six, and nine month programs. Things that are included in the coaching programs – Podcast, Facebook Group, 10 Day Challenge, Workbook, Nutrition Coaching and much more! What sets me apart from the rest is we create a community of individuals. A community of growth minded people. I teach you the tools you will need to create an Extraordinary life, and with these tools, you will overcome every obstacle that arises in life.

I am so proud of how far I have come as an individual. I am proud of what I have created with my husband Gabe. I am so proud of all the amazing people that we have assisted in their journey to an Extraordinary life. I am proud of what we are and what we are becoming and I am so excited for what the future holds!

Can you tell us about what’s worked well for you in terms of growing your clientele?

Being a Salon Owner, as well as a Confidence Mentor, some might say these go hand in hand. My job as a salon owner is so rewarding when you see your client gain a new self confidence when you create something they love. My Most effective strategy is just talking with my clients about life and what they want to create. It’s showing them that confidence isn’t just about their outside appearance. It’s about living with Ultimate Confidence as well because people see it radiating from you. They see it, and notice it. So, Live how you are showing others to live, talk about it with all of them. Love them and love what you do. The rest falls into place.

Have any books or other resources had a big impact on you?

Lots and Lots of books have shifted my mindset and the way I work. I will list a few here : The Untethered Soul by Michael A. Singer, Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz, and 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don’t Do by Amy Morin.
