You Are Not Your Limits by Javeno Mclean

In this episode of You Are Not Your Limits, Javeno sits down with Brooke Vincent for a raw, funny and deeply honest conversation about growing up in the spotlight, stepping away from a life she’d known since childhood and navigating motherhood, identity and ambition on her own terms.
Known to millions as Sophie Webster on Coronation Street, Brooke reflects on being exposed to fame at just 11 years old, what it really felt like to leave Corrie after 16 years, and the reality of rebuilding life away from a role that shaped her for so long.
The pair explore moments of laughter, vulnerability and perspective as Brooke opens up about:
✨ Life after Coronation Street and letting go of a childhood identity
✨ Motherhood, two under two and learning as you go
✨ Grief, loss and why “grief is just love with nowhere to go”
✨ Confidence, self-belief and learning to back yourself
✨ Juggling family, career, social media and business
✨ Why asking for help doesn’t mean failing
✨ Finding joy in the quiet, everyday moments
There’s humour, honesty, stories about chaos at home, building a business from scratch, and the pressure modern parents quietly carry every day, alongside reflections on growth, boundaries and becoming comfortable with who you are now, not who people remember.

This episode is a reminder that life doesn’t always follow the script, identity can evolve, and sometimes the bravest thing you can do is start again.

You are NOT your limits.
