Alrighty Fam, 

I’m Brooke McIntosh

Pull up a chair and let’s have a chat.

Please don’t get the wrong impression—I haven’t always been a powerhouse.

At 12, I grew up fast, becoming the carer for my siblings while Mum worked away. At 14, I was sexually abused and lost my voice, my courage, my confidence. It escalated into adulthood when I chose a career in mining and construction, grinding through that FIFO isolation.

It crushed my mental health and I no longer wanted to live. In 2022, a high-speed truck crash nearly ended me. Lying awake in that hospital bed, it hit me: I didn’t want to die—I wanted the pain to end.

Today? You see a proud, resilient woman who run’s straight towards her deepest fears. I’ve chosen courage over comfort, authenticity over approval, and resilience over giving up.

I believe we’ve gotta take responsibility for our mental fitness just as much—maybe even more—than our physical.

Life’s here for creation. To create, we unlearn those limiting beliefs holding us back and relearn our true potential to live aligned with purpose.

My story isn’t just about running. It’s about showing you that you too can overcome adversity, rewrite your story, and create a life that matches your deepest values and aspirations.

JUST ONE MORE can change everything.

 

Mission

To empower humans to build mental fitness, courage, and resilience—through raw stories, keynotes, workshops and communities. Turning pain into power and dreams into unbreakable reality.

Running for Mental Health. Making History.

In 2023, I ran 1,600 km down the WA coastline to raise awareness for mental health, proving that with the right mindset and my “Just One More” mantra, anything is possible. Then in 2025, I created history—becoming the fastest female ever to run 14,200 km around Australia in 204 days, having conversations and building the JUST ONE MORE Movement along the way.

Awards & Recognition

I have been honoured with the 2025 Young Community Citizen of the Year Award by the City of Mandurah during Australia Day celebrations. This prestigious award recognises my unwavering commitment to mental health advocacy and her remarkable fundraising efforts.
