As a lawyer, Brodie worked as an arbitrator on British Columbia's Residential Tenancy Branch, which deals with landlord-tenant disputes, for a decade before quitting in 2017.

On March 7, 2025, Brodie was removed from the Conservative Party of BC caucus as a result of her decision to publicly mock and belittle testimony from former residential school students. In a podcast appearance, Brodie used a mocking, child-like voice to denigrate survivors, saying things like “my grandmother’s truth” and “my truth, your truth” in a child-like ‘whining’ voice. In a statement, leader of the Conservatives John Rustad wrote "using your stature and platform as an MLA to mock testimony from victims alleging abuse, including child sex abuse, is where I draw the line."<ref name=":9">{{cite web | title=Statement from Leader of the Conservative Party of BC John Rustad | url=https://www.bcconservativecaucus.ca/statement-from-leader-of-the-conservative-party-of-bc-john-rustad/ |date=2025-03-07|access-date=2026-04-02|website=BC Conservative Caucus}}</ref> Rustad also reaffirmed that "horrible things happened to vulnerable children at Residential Schools — including pedophiles preying on children; at Kamloops Indian Residential School, Gerald Mathieu Moran was charged and convicted by Canadian courts with several dozen sex crimes he committed against children while working there."<ref name=":9" />

On December 2, 2025, Brodie, along with the OneBC caucus, used caucus funds to produce a documentary, "Making a Killing: Reconciliation, genocide and the plunder of Canada," which was uploaded to YouTube.
