  <description><![CDATA[<p>Brianna was born in New York and raised by a single mom of 5 kids. Through her struggles with self-worth and battling an eating disorder for over a decade, Brianna found herself packing everything in her Honda Civic and moving 3,000 miles to California where she knew no one, to chase an entrepreneur dream.&nbsp;<br><br>She found her passion, voice, and used her scrappiness and hardships to achieve something no one ever thought she could; creating a multi-million dollar company, which she sold. But then she found herself in the middle of her own divorce leaving her a single mom of 3. Now, remarried, Brianna lives in Austin with her husband and four children, as she continues to build companies and empower women to see they are enough.&nbsp;<br><br>So, what is a Badass Basic Bitch? It all started at an event, in a deep debate when another woman called Brianna a “basic bitch”. Quick off the mark, she replied with, “I’m a badass basic bitch”. We are often quick to judge and quicker to jump to our own conclusions. This woman knew very little about me. She judged me simply on our few interactions with each other. She coined me how she felt I fit into her view.&nbsp;<br><br>These Baddie Bs are everywhere. They’re our neighbors, women at church, soccer moms, or single women at the bar. These women are all of different religions and races, they are poor and rich, married, divorced or single. But they all have one thing in common; they are ordinary women doing extraordinary things. And now, it’s time their stories are told.&nbsp;<br><br>Follow Brianna on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mombossinaustin/Follow Brianna on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/briannademike/Follow the Podcast on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/badassbasicbitch/</p>]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[<p>Are you actually searching for a new life—or are you searching for permission to become who you already are?</p><p>In this episode of <em>Badass Basic Bitch</em>, Brianna sits down with <b>Dr. Sarah Webb</b>, author, channeler, spiritual coach, and internationally recognized expert on colorism, for a powerful conversation about identity, worthiness, self-awareness, spirituality, and learning to distinguish the life you truly want from the one you&apos;ve been conditioned to live.</p><p>Dr. Sarah&apos;s path began in academia as an English professor working in the humanities and exploring complex social issues. Her work eventually evolved into a deeper examination of colorism, identity, healing, and spirituality. She is the author of <em>Colorism: The Politics of Skin Tone and How We Get Free</em> and now works with people through channeled coaching and dream journeys, guiding them on a heart-led mission to transform their lives from the inside out.</p><p>Brianna and Dr. Sarah explore how much of our identity is consciously chosen versus inherited from our families, cultures, communities, and societal expectations. Dr. Sarah explains why the body can be one of our greatest sources of information when determining whether we&apos;re living authentically—and why tension, discomfort, expansion, dreams, and even daydreams deserve our attention.</p><p>They also dive into colorism and the ways skin-tone bias can shape identity and worthiness, sometimes without people consciously recognizing its influence. Dr. Sarah shares why healing isn&apos;t only about understanding what happened to us, but recognizing the agency we have now to interrupt patterns and prevent pain from continuing into future generations.</p><p>This conversation is an invitation to become curious about your own story: <b>How much of your life reflects who you really are—and how much of it was handed to you?</b></p><p>In This Episode, We Discuss:</p><ul><li>How to recognize whether you&apos;re living your own story or one that was handed to you</li><li>The difference between authentic desire and societal expectation</li><li>Why your body can reveal whether your life feels aligned</li><li>How identity can be both inherited and intentionally created</li><li>Why changing your life doesn&apos;t always mean completely starting over</li><li>Dr. Sarah&apos;s journey from English professor to author, channeler, and spiritual coach</li><li>How childhood experiences with bullying shaped her compassion and work</li><li>Why she became passionate about helping people recognize their unrealized potential</li><li>What colorism is and why it&apos;s important to talk about it</li><li>How skin-tone discrimination can occur within the same racial or ethnic community</li><li>Why colorism is a global issue that crosses cultures</li><li>The connection between colorism, internalized bias, and worthiness</li><li>How societal biases can influence identity without us consciously realizing it</li><li>Why healing our relationship with ourselves is foundational</li><li>What spirituality means outside of traditional religious definitions</li><li>How dreams, daydreams, journaling, and self-reflection can deepen self-awareness</li><li>What Dr. Sarah means by a “dream journey”</li><li>How dreams can provide information about our emotions, desires, and direction</li><li>Using body scans to recognize tension, expansion, and other physical signals</li><li>Why noticing patterns is more powerful than analyzing one isolated experience</li><li>How inherited and systemic wounds can continue across generations</li><li>The role of agency in breaking cycles of trauma and pain</li><li>Why becoming more self-aware can change what we pass down to the next generation</li></ul><p>Memorable Quote</p><blockquote>“Sometimes we don&apos;t need to move out of the house. Sometimes we need to renovate.” — Dr. Sarah Webb</blockquote><p>Key Takeaways</p><p>Your Body Knows When Something Doesn&apos;t Fit</p><p>One of the simplest ways to begin questioning whether you&apos;re living authentically is to notice how your life actually feels.</p><p>Rather than only asking, <em>Does my life look successful?</em> or <em>Am I doing what I&apos;m supposed to be doing?</em>, Dr. Sarah encourages us to pay attention to what happens inside our bodies as we move through our days.</p><p>Where do you feel tension? Where do you feel expansive? What drains you? What makes you feel more alive?</p><p>Your body can provide information that your conscious mind has learned to ignore.</p><p>You Can Honor Your Circumstances Without Being Defined by Them</p><p>Not every aspect of our lives is something we consciously chose. We inherit families, cultures, circumstances, expectations, identities, and experiences.</p><p>But Dr. Sarah explains that recognizing what we&apos;ve inherited doesn&apos;t mean we have no agency over what happens next.</p><p>Sometimes transformation doesn&apos;t require abandoning everything and becoming someone completely different. Like renovating a house, we can examine what&apos;s already there, decide what still serves us, and intentionally rebuild the parts that don&apos;t.</p><p>Colorism Is About More Than Skin Tone</p><p>Dr. Sarah defines colorism as discrimination based on skin tone, including discrimination that happens among people within the same racial or ethnic group.</p><p>But the impact goes deeper than appearance.</p><p>Colorism can influence how people are perceived, treated, valued, and how they eventually learn to perceive themselves. Because these messages can become deeply internalized, people may not recognize the role colorism has played in their identity until much later in life.</p><p>Worthiness Starts With Your Relationship With Yourself</p><p>External biases can eventually become internal beliefs.</p><p>When we&apos;re repeatedly exposed to messages about which appearances, identities, or characteristics are considered more valuable, those ideas can shape our sense of worth—even when we consciously disagree with them.</p><p>Healing requires examining not only how the world has treated us, but also the beliefs we&apos;ve absorbed and the relationship we&apos;ve developed with ourselves as a result.</p><p>Your Dreams May Be Telling You Something</p><p>Dream work doesn&apos;t have to mean finding a mystical interpretation for every detail of a dream.</p><p>Dr. Sarah encourages people to simply begin paying attention.</p><p>Keep a journal beside your bed. Write down what you remember. Notice your daydreams too. What were you thinking about? What was happening immediately before it? What emotions came up?</p><p>Over time, patterns may emerge that help reveal desires, fears, needs, and possibilities that aren&apos;t getting your attention during everyday life.</p><p>Self-Awareness Can Start With a Simple Body Scan</p><p>You don&apos;t need an elaborate spiritual practice to become more connected to yourself.</p><p>Pause and scan your body.</p><p>Notice your jaw, shoulders, chest, stomach, hands, and legs. Where are you holding tension? Where do you feel relaxed? What happens in your body when you think about certain people, decisions, or areas of your life?</p><p>The goal isn&apos;t to immediately fix what you notice. It&apos;s to start listening.</p><p>Healing Gives Us an Opportunity to Break the Cycle</p><p>We may inherit wounds, biases, beliefs, behaviors, and coping mechanisms from the people and systems that came before us.</p><p>But inheritance doesn&apos;t have to equal destiny.</p><p>Dr. Sarah emphasizes the importance of recognizing our agency. We may not have chosen what happened to us or what was passed down to us, but becoming conscious of those patterns gives us an opportunity to make different choices—and change what gets passed forward.</p><p>A Simple Self-Awareness Practice</p><p>If you want to begin exploring some of the ideas from this episode, Dr. Sarah suggests starting small:</p><p><b>Keep a dream journal.</b> Write down what you remember when you wake up, even if it&apos;s only a few details.</p><p><b>Pay attention to your daydreams.</b> Notice not only what you&apos;re imagining, but what was happening when your mind went there.</p><p><b>Scan your body.</b> Notice tension, discomfort, relaxation, and expansion without immediately trying to change any of it.</p><p><b>Look for patterns.</b> One dream, thought, or sensation may not mean much by itself. Pay attention to what keeps returning.</p><p><b>Get curious about your story.</b> Ask yourself which parts of your life feel consciously chosen and which might reflect expectations or identities you&apos;ve inherited.</p><p>The goal isn&apos;t to have all the answers. It&apos;s to become more aware of the information you&apos;re already receiving.</p><p>Connect with Dr. Sarah Webb</p><p>Dr. Sarah Webb is an <b>author, channeler, spiritual coach, and internationally recognized expert on colorism</b>.

    <description><![CDATA[<p>What if having less could actually give you more—more time, more energy, more creativity, and more freedom?</p><p>In this episode of <em>Badass Basic Bitch</em>, Brianna sits down with <b>Courtney Carver</b>, founder of <b>Be More with Less</b> and creator of the <b>Project 333 Challenge</b>, to talk about simplifying your life, letting go of what’s weighing you down, and redefining what “enough” really looks like.</p><p>Courtney’s journey toward simplicity began after a life-changing health diagnosis forced her to take a closer look at the stress in her life. What started with addressing debt, clutter, and an overwhelming career eventually became a completely different way of living—and a movement that has inspired people around the world to rethink their relationship with their stuff.</p><p>Courtney breaks down her famous Project 333 Challenge: dressing with just 33 items or less for three months. But as Brianna and Courtney explore, this conversation is about much more than cleaning out your closet.</p><p>They dive into the emotional reasons we hold onto things, how shopping can become a way of coping with discomfort, the influence of social media and algorithms on consumerism, and the surprising mental freedom that comes from having fewer decisions to make every day.</p><p>From designer handbags and kids’ clutter to online shopping and decision fatigue, this episode will have you looking around your house—and maybe opening your closet—the second it’s over.</p><p>In This Episode, We Discuss:</p><ul><li>How Courtney’s journey toward simplicity began</li><li>Why reducing stress became the catalyst for changing her life</li><li>The creation of Be More with Less and Project 333</li><li>How the Project 333 Challenge works</li><li>What is—and isn’t—included in your 33 items</li><li>Why Project 333 isn’t about deprivation or suffering</li><li>How having less helps redefine what “enough” actually means</li><li>The emotional attachment we develop to clothes, handbags, and possessions</li><li>A simple trick for letting go of items you’re emotionally attached to</li><li>Brianna’s experience letting go of designer bags and simplifying her wardrobe</li><li>How shopping can become a coping mechanism when other parts of life feel outside our control</li><li>Why clutter isn’t always made up of things we dislike</li><li>The challenge of managing clutter when you have kids</li><li>How fewer choices can benefit children, too</li><li>Reducing decision fatigue through a simplified wardrobe</li><li>Why fewer possessions can create more room for creativity</li><li>Managing your energy instead of constantly trying to manage your time</li><li>Using services like Rent the Runway without falling back into overconsumption</li><li>How Instagram, TikTok, algorithms, and online shopping influence what we think we need</li><li>Why Courtney intentionally reduced her own social media consumption</li><li>The surprising realization that most people aren’t paying attention to what you wear</li><li>How simplifying one area of your life can inspire changes everywhere else</li></ul><p>Memorable Quote</p><blockquote>“One of the biggest benefits is realizing that nobody notices what you’re doing.” — Courtney Carver</blockquote><p>Key Takeaways</p><p>Simplicity Isn’t About Deprivation</p><p>Project 333 isn&apos;t designed to make you suffer through three months with nothing to wear. The challenge is an experiment in discovering how much you actually need.</p><p>By choosing 33 items—including clothing, jewelry, shoes, and accessories—and living with them for three months, you get the opportunity to step away from the constant cycle of wanting more and discover what you genuinely enjoy wearing.</p><p>Sometimes You Need Space Before You Can Let Go</p><p>Getting rid of something can feel surprisingly emotional, especially when the item represents a memory, identity, accomplishment, or version of yourself.</p><p>Courtney suggests removing items from sight before deciding whether to permanently let them go. Creating distance can weaken the emotional connection and help you recognize whether you actually miss the item—or simply felt uncomfortable getting rid of it.</p><p>Clutter Costs More Than Money</p><p>Everything we own requires something from us. We have to organize it, clean it, maintain it, store it, think about it, or decide what to do with it.</p><p>Reducing what you own isn&apos;t simply about having a cleaner closet. It can reduce decision fatigue and free up mental energy for creativity, relationships, work, problem-solving, and the things that matter more.</p><p>Shopping Can Give Us the Illusion of Control</p><p>When something painful or stressful is happening outside of our control, focusing on something we <em>can</em> control—like what we buy—can feel comforting.</p><p>But that temporary relief can eventually create another source of stress through clutter, spending, and the constant pressure to acquire more. Recognizing why you&apos;re reaching for something can be just as important as deciding whether to buy it.</p><p>Social Media Is Constantly Telling Us We Need More</p><p>Instagram, TikTok, online shopping, and personalized algorithms have created an environment where we&apos;re constantly being introduced to the next thing we&apos;re supposed to want.</p><p>Courtney shares why she&apos;s intentionally reduced her own time on certain platforms and why becoming more conscious about what we&apos;re consuming digitally can help change what we consume physically.</p><p>Fewer Decisions Can Create More Creativity</p><p>When you remove dozens of unnecessary decisions from your day, that energy doesn&apos;t disappear—it becomes available for something else.</p><p>Courtney has found that simplifying areas like her wardrobe gives her more capacity for writing, business, problem-solving, and creativity. Sometimes creating more space in your life literally begins by removing things from it.</p><p>Nobody Is Paying as Much Attention as You Think</p><p>One of the unexpected lessons from Project 333 is discovering how little other people notice what you&apos;re wearing.</p><p>The fear that someone will notice you repeating an outfit or wearing fewer things is often much bigger in our minds than it is in reality.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What if having less could actually give you more—more time, more energy, more creativity, and more freedom?</p><p>In this episode of <em>Badass Basic Bitch</em>, Brianna sits down with <b>Courtney Carver</b>, founder of <b>Be More with Less</b> and creator of the <b>Project 333 Challenge</b>, to talk about simplifying your life, letting go of what’s weighing you down, and redefining what “enough” really looks like.</p><p>Courtney’s journey toward simplicity began after a life-changing health diagnosis forced her to take a closer look at the stress in her life. What started with addressing debt, clutter, and an overwhelming career eventually became a completely different way of living—and a movement that has inspired people around the world to rethink their relationship with their stuff.</p><p>Courtney breaks down her famous Project 333 Challenge: dressing with just 33 items or less for three months. But as Brianna and Courtney explore, this conversation is about much more than cleaning out your closet.</p><p>They dive into the emotional reasons we hold onto things, how shopping can become a way of coping with discomfort, the influence of social media and algorithms on consumerism, and the surprising mental freedom that comes from having fewer decisions to make every day.</p><p>From designer handbags and kids’ clutter to online shopping and decision fatigue, this episode will have you looking around your house—and maybe opening your closet—the second it’s over.</p><p>In This Episode, We Discuss:</p><ul><li>How Courtney’s journey toward simplicity began</li><li>Why reducing stress became the catalyst for changing her life</li><li>The creation of Be More with Less and Project 333</li><li>How the Project 333 Challenge works</li><li>What is—and isn’t—included in your 33 items</li><li>Why Project 333 isn’t about deprivation or suffering</li><li>How having less helps redefine what “enough” actually means</li><li>The emotional attachment we develop to clothes, handbags, and possessions</li><li>A simple trick for letting go of items you’re emotionally attached to</li><li>Brianna’s experience letting go of designer bags and simplifying her wardrobe</li><li>How shopping can become a coping mechanism when other parts of life feel outside our control</li><li>Why clutter isn’t always made up of things we dislike</li><li>The challenge of managing clutter when you have kids</li><li>How fewer choices can benefit children, too</li><li>Reducing decision fatigue through a simplified wardrobe</li><li>Why fewer possessions can create more room for creativity</li><li>Managing your energy instead of constantly trying to manage your time</li><li>Using services like Rent the Runway without falling back into overconsumption</li><li>How Instagram, TikTok, algorithms, and online shopping influence what we think we need</li><li>Why Courtney intentionally reduced her own social media consumption</li><li>The surprising realization that most people aren’t paying attention to what you wear</li><li>How simplifying one area of your life can inspire changes everywhere else</li></ul><p>Memorable Quote</p><blockquote>“One of the biggest benefits is realizing that nobody notices what you’re doing.” — Courtney Carver</blockquote><p>Key Takeaways</p><p>Simplicity Isn’t About Deprivation</p><p>Project 333 isn&apos;t designed to make you suffer through three months with nothing to wear. The challenge is an experiment in discovering how much you actually need.</p><p>By choosing 33 items—including clothing, jewelry, shoes, and accessories—and living with them for three months, you get the opportunity to step away from the constant cycle of wanting more and discover what you genuinely enjoy wearing.</p><p>Sometimes You Need Space Before You Can Let Go</p><p>Getting rid of something can feel surprisingly emotional, especially when the item represents a memory, identity, accomplishment, or version of yourself.</p><p>Courtney suggests removing items from sight before deciding whether to permanently let them go. Creating distance can weaken the emotional connection and help you recognize whether you actually miss the item—or simply felt uncomfortable getting rid of it.</p><p>Clutter Costs More Than Money</p><p>Everything we own requires something from us. We have to organize it, clean it, maintain it, store it, think about it, or decide what to do with it.</p><p>Reducing what you own isn&apos;t simply about having a cleaner closet. It can reduce decision fatigue and free up mental energy for creativity, relationships, work, problem-solving, and the things that matter more.</p><p>Shopping Can Give Us the Illusion of Control</p><p>When something painful or stressful is happening outside of our control, focusing on something we <em>can</em> control—like what we buy—can feel comforting.</p><p>But that temporary relief can eventually create another source of stress through clutter, spending, and the constant pressure to acquire more. Recognizing why you&apos;re reaching for something can be just as important as deciding whether to buy it.</p><p>Social Media Is Constantly Telling Us We Need More</p><p>Instagram, TikTok, online shopping, and personalized algorithms have created an environment where we&apos;re constantly being introduced to the next thing we&apos;re supposed to want.</p><p>Courtney shares why she&apos;s intentionally reduced her own time on certain platforms and why becoming more conscious about what we&apos;re consuming digitally can help change what we consume physically.</p><p>Fewer Decisions Can Create More Creativity</p><p>When you remove dozens of unnecessary decisions from your day, that energy doesn&apos;t disappear—it becomes available for something else.</p><p>Courtney has found that simplifying areas like her wardrobe gives her more capacity for writing, business, problem-solving, and creativity. Sometimes creating more space in your life literally begins by removing things from it.</p><p>Nobody Is Paying as Much Attention as You Think</p><p>One of the unexpected lessons from Project 333 is discovering how little other people notice what you&apos;re wearing.</p><p>The fear that someone will notice you repeating an outfit or wearing fewer things is often much bigger in our minds than it is in reality. Letting go of that perceived judgment can create freedom far beyond your closet.</p><p>Ready to Try Project 333?</p><p>For three months, dress with <b>33 items or less</b>, including:</p><ul><li>Clothing</li><li>Jewelry</li><li>Accessories</li><li>Shoes</li></ul><p>Items such as underwear, sleepwear, workout clothing used specifically for exercise, and special-occasion pieces aren&apos;t included in the 33.</p><p>The goal isn&apos;t to find the perfect 33 pieces.

    <description><![CDATA[<p>What happens when a random creative idea turns into a viral series, a thriving online community, a book, a podcast, and eventually an entire business?</p><p>In this episode of <em>Badass Basic Bitch</em>, Brianna sits down with <b>Christa Innis</b>, an author, podcast host, content creator, wife, and toddler mom who has built a community around storytelling, humor, and navigating some of life&apos;s messiest moments.</p><p>Christa is the author of <em>Here Comes the Drama</em> and host of the <em>Here Comes the Drama</em> podcast, where she dives into relationships, family dynamics, and the stories that remind us we&apos;re never alone in our chaos. Through her viral skits and relatable content, Christa encourages women to set boundaries, embrace authenticity, and find laughter even in the drama.</p><p>Christa&apos;s journey started with a seemingly random idea for a wedding skit on TikTok. What began as a creative outlet while she was on maternity leave quickly took off, eventually becoming multiple seasons of viral content and inspiring an entirely new chapter of her career.</p><p>Brianna and Christa talk about what it really takes to turn content creation into a business, grow an engaged audience, stay authentic online, and protect your personal life when your job exists on your phone. Christa also takes us behind the scenes of writing and self-publishing <em>Here Comes the Drama</em>, what she learned from doing it herself, and what&apos;s next as she continues writing the series.</p><p>They also get into the reality of building a business while being a wife and working mom—and why success isn&apos;t about doing everything perfectly. It&apos;s about knowing what matters, creating boundaries, staying consistent, and being willing to put yourself out there before you know exactly where it&apos;s going.</p><p>In This Episode, We Discuss:</p><ul><li>How a spontaneous wedding skit turned into viral content and an unexpected career</li><li>Starting to create content while on maternity leave</li><li>Christa&apos;s background in social media marketing and how it influenced her approach</li><li>Why she initially kept her growing TikTok account a secret</li><li>The moment she realized content creation could become a legitimate business</li><li>Growing an audience through consistency, authenticity, and genuine engagement</li><li>Building a community instead of simply chasing followers</li><li>Why relatable, imperfect content can be more powerful than polished production</li><li>What actually happens behind the scenes of scripting, filming, editing, and posting viral content</li><li>Turning a creative outlet into a full-time business</li><li>Expanding into brand partnerships and social media coaching</li><li>Balancing entrepreneurship, content creation, marriage, and motherhood</li><li>Creating boundaries when your entire business lives on your phone</li><li>Protecting family time and keeping parts of your life offline</li><li>Turning viral wedding drama into her book, <em>Here Comes the Drama</em></li><li>Why Christa decided to self-publish her first book</li><li>What nobody tells you about writing, editing, publishing, and marketing your own book</li><li>The importance of having multiple people review your work before publishing</li><li>What Christa learned from self-publishing and how she&apos;s applying it to her next book</li><li>Her advice for aspiring creators, authors, and entrepreneurs who are afraid to start</li></ul><p>Memorable Quote</p><blockquote>&quot;Don&apos;t overcomplicate it.

She had an idea, followed her creativity, and gave herself permission to experiment. That one decision eventually grew into an audience, business, podcast, and book.</p><p>Sometimes you don&apos;t need to know what step ten looks like. You just need to be willing to take step one.</p><p>Authenticity Will Take You Further Than Perfection</p><p>You don&apos;t need the perfect camera, elaborate production, or meticulously curated life to connect with people online. Christa&apos;s success reinforces something creators often forget: people connect with people.</p><p>Relatable, authentic content gives your audience a reason to see themselves in your stories—and a reason to keep coming back.</p><p>Build a Community, Not Just a Following</p><p>Growing on social media isn&apos;t only about posting consistently. Christa actively engages with the people consuming her content, responds to comments, listens to feedback, and makes her audience feel like they&apos;re part of the experience.</p><p>Followers are a number. Community is a relationship.</p><p>Your Business Needs Boundaries Too</p><p>When your career revolves around social media, your workplace is always within reach. There is no office door to close at the end of the day.</p><p>As a wife and toddler mom, Christa has had to intentionally establish boundaries between her work, content, and family life. Building something successful shouldn&apos;t require sacrificing your ability to actually be present for the life you&apos;re building it around.</p><p>Writing the Book Is Only Part of Self-Publishing</p><p>Christa chose to self-publish <em>Here Comes the Drama</em>, giving her firsthand experience with everything that happens after the manuscript is written.</p><p>Editing, feedback, marketing, promotion, and getting the book in front of readers all matter. One of her biggest lessons is the importance of having multiple eyes on your work and recognizing that a great book still needs a strong strategy behind it.</p><p>Stop Overcomplicating Content Creation</p><p>For anyone waiting for the right idea, equipment, strategy, or moment to start creating, Christa&apos;s advice is simple: focus on what you genuinely care about and start.</p><p>Consistency matters.

Together, she and Brianna unpack the surprising connection between alcohol, purpose, confidence, entrepreneurship, and neuroplasticity, revealing why removing alcohol often unlocks clarity, creativity, and the courage to pursue the life you actually want.</p><p>Whether you drink regularly, occasionally, or are simply curious about your relationship with alcohol, this episode isn’t about labels or shame—it’s about asking a powerful question: <b>Is alcohol helping you become the person you’re meant to be?</b></p><p><b>In This Episode, We Discuss:</b></p><p>✨ Why so many successful entrepreneurs and high performers choose not to drink</p><p>✨ The surprising connection between alcohol and purpose</p><p>✨ How alcohol impacts neuroplasticity, creativity, and decision-making</p><p>✨ Why “taking the edge off” may actually be keeping you stuck</p><p>✨ The difference between wanting a drink and needing one</p><p>✨ How alcohol can mask dissatisfaction with your career or life</p><p>✨ Why confidence is built—not poured into a glass</p><p>✨ The science behind why alcohol-free living can feel euphoric</p><p>✨ How taking a break from alcohol can unlock new ideas, passions, and opportunities</p><p>✨ Why questioning your relationship with alcohol doesn’t mean you have a drinking problem</p><p><b>Memorable Quote</b></p><p><em>“Alcohol never solved it. If anything, it only made the problem worse.”</em> — Karolina Rzadkowolska</p><p><b>Key Takeaways</b></p><p><b>High Performance Thrives on Clarity</b></p><p>Many of today’s most successful entrepreneurs, authors, and thought leaders have one thing in common—they’ve minimized or eliminated alcohol. Operating at your highest level requires energy, creativity, and mental clarity that alcohol often quietly steals.</p><p><b>Alcohol Can Become a Band-Aid for a Bigger Problem</b></p><p>Whether it’s stress, burnout, insecurity, or feeling disconnected from your purpose, alcohol often numbs emotions instead of resolving them. Lasting fulfillment comes from addressing what’s underneath—not escaping it.</p><p><b>Confidence Comes From Keeping Promises to Yourself</b></p><p>One of the greatest transformations people experience during an alcohol-free journey isn’t simply feeling healthier—it’s rebuilding self-trust. Every decision to honor your goals strengthens your confidence and reinforces the belief that you’re capable of creating meaningful change.</p><p><b>Your Brain Is More Powerful Than You Think</b></p><p>Karolina explains how taking a break from alcohol creates a unique window of neuroplasticity, allowing your brain to form new habits, challenge limiting beliefs, and become more open to pursuing opportunities that once felt impossible.</p><p><b>You Don’t Have to Quit Forever to Learn Something New</b></p><p>Questioning your relationship with alcohol isn’t about labels or restrictions.

Together, she and Brianna unpack the surprising connection between alcohol, purpose, confidence, entrepreneurship, and neuroplasticity, revealing why removing alcohol often unlocks clarity, creativity, and the courage to pursue the life you actually want.</p><p>Whether you drink regularly, occasionally, or are simply curious about your relationship with alcohol, this episode isn’t about labels or shame—it’s about asking a powerful question: <b>Is alcohol helping you become the person you’re meant to be?</b></p><p><b>In This Episode, We Discuss:</b></p><p>✨ Why so many successful entrepreneurs and high performers choose not to drink</p><p>✨ The surprising connection between alcohol and purpose</p><p>✨ How alcohol impacts neuroplasticity, creativity, and decision-making</p><p>✨ Why “taking the edge off” may actually be keeping you stuck</p><p>✨ The difference between wanting a drink and needing one</p><p>✨ How alcohol can mask dissatisfaction with your career or life</p><p>✨ Why confidence is built—not poured into a glass</p><p>✨ The science behind why alcohol-free living can feel euphoric</p><p>✨ How taking a break from alcohol can unlock new ideas, passions, and opportunities</p><p>✨ Why questioning your relationship with alcohol doesn’t mean you have a drinking problem</p><p><b>Memorable Quote</b></p><p><em>“Alcohol never solved it. If anything, it only made the problem worse.”</em> — Karolina Rzadkowolska</p><p><b>Key Takeaways</b></p><p><b>High Performance Thrives on Clarity</b></p><p>Many of today’s most successful entrepreneurs, authors, and thought leaders have one thing in common—they’ve minimized or eliminated alcohol. Operating at your highest level requires energy, creativity, and mental clarity that alcohol often quietly steals.</p><p><b>Alcohol Can Become a Band-Aid for a Bigger Problem</b></p><p>Whether it’s stress, burnout, insecurity, or feeling disconnected from your purpose, alcohol often numbs emotions instead of resolving them. Lasting fulfillment comes from addressing what’s underneath—not escaping it.</p><p><b>Confidence Comes From Keeping Promises to Yourself</b></p><p>One of the greatest transformations people experience during an alcohol-free journey isn’t simply feeling healthier—it’s rebuilding self-trust. Every decision to honor your goals strengthens your confidence and reinforces the belief that you’re capable of creating meaningful change.</p><p><b>Your Brain Is More Powerful Than You Think</b></p><p>Karolina explains how taking a break from alcohol creates a unique window of neuroplasticity, allowing your brain to form new habits, challenge limiting beliefs, and become more open to pursuing opportunities that once felt impossible.</p><p><b>You Don’t Have to Quit Forever to Learn Something New</b></p><p>Questioning your relationship with alcohol isn’t about labels or restrictions. Sometimes the most valuable first step is simply taking a break long enough to discover how you think, feel, create, and connect without it.</p><p><b>Connect with Karolina Rzadkowolska</b></p><p>📱 <b>Instagram:</b><br/> @euphoric.af</p><p>🎵 <b>TikTok:</b><br/> @euphoric.af</p><p>🌐 <b>Website:</b><br/> www.euphoricaf.com</p><p>📚 <b>Book:</b><br/> <em>Euphoric: Ditch Alcohol and Gain a Happier, More Confident You</em></p><p>🎁 <b>Free Resource:</b><br/> Visit EuphoricAF.com to download Karolina’s free guide to exploring an alcohol-free lifestyle.</p><p><b>Connect with Badass Basic Bitch</b></p><p>📱 <b>Instagram:</b><br/> @badassbasicbitchpodcast</p><p>🎙 <b>Hosted by:</b><br/> Brianna Dunbar-DeMike</p>]]></content:encoded>

    <description><![CDATA[<p>What if the goal of motherhood isn&apos;t to finally get everything under control—but to learn how to manage your mind when everything inevitably feels out of control?</p><p>In this episode of <em>Badass Basic Bitch</em>, Brianna sits down with <b>Natalie Bacon</b>, mom of three, professionally certified coach, and host of the #1 podcast <em>Mom On Purpose with Natalie Bacon</em>, for a conversation about the mental load of motherhood, overwhelm, frustration, thought work, and what it actually takes to feel better without waiting for your circumstances—or your kids—to change.</p><p>Natalie has more than eight years of coaching experience and has worked with over 2,000 moms on their mental, emotional, and physical health. But before becoming a coach and entrepreneur, Natalie was an attorney and certified financial planner with the same high-achieving, overthinking tendencies so many women bring into motherhood.</p><p>Then came <b>three boys in three years</b>.</p><p>Rather than trying to eliminate the chaos of raising three young children, Natalie began applying brain management and thought work to the way she experienced motherhood. She learned to recognize the thoughts creating frustration, loosen her need for control, and intentionally develop new thought patterns that allowed her to parent with more confidence, connection, and curiosity.</p><p>Brianna and Natalie unpack what &quot;thought work&quot; actually means, why practicing it outside of stressful moments matters, and how moms can begin separating what&apos;s happening around them from the story their brain is telling them about it.</p><p>Natalie also shares how these same tools played a role in another major personal transformation: <b>losing 50 pounds after having her third child</b>. Instead of trying to overhaul everything at once, she focused on one goal at a time and used thought work to change the questions she was asking herself and the identity she was creating.</p><p>This isn&apos;t about becoming a perfectly calm mom who never gets frustrated. It&apos;s about realizing that while you can&apos;t control every meltdown, homework battle, sleepless night, or chaotic afternoon, you can build the skills to better manage what happens inside of you when they happen.</p><p>In This Episode, We Discuss:</p><ul><li>Natalie&apos;s journey from attorney and certified financial planner to coach and entrepreneur</li><li>Becoming a mom to three boys in three years</li><li>Why Natalie shifted her business toward motherhood and mental and emotional health</li><li>The creation of <em>Mom On Purpose</em></li><li>Why so many moms feel like they&apos;re constantly drowning</li><li>The invisible mental load of motherhood</li><li>What brain management actually means</li><li>How thought work can change the way we experience parenting</li><li>Natalie&apos;s three-part framework for identifying and managing thoughts</li><li>The connection between thoughts, emotions, and our reactions</li><li>Why high-achieving women can struggle with overthinking and control</li><li>How societal expectations influence the way we think motherhood &quot;should&quot; look</li><li>Why a child&apos;s difficult emotions don&apos;t mean something has gone wrong</li><li>Applying thought work during meltdowns, homework struggles, and everyday parenting challenges</li><li>Why the most effective thought work often happens outside the stressful moment</li><li>Creating new neural pathways through intentional practice</li><li>How frustration can reveal the expectations we&apos;re bringing into a situation</li><li>Why trying to control our children&apos;s emotions can increase our own overwhelm</li><li>Using confidence, connection, and curiosity in parenting</li><li>How to identify the thought underneath an uncomfortable emotion</li><li>Why Natalie says not to believe your nighttime thoughts</li><li>Asking your brain better questions instead of allowing it to default to worst-case scenarios</li><li>How thought work helped Natalie transform her relationship with herself</li><li>Natalie&apos;s 50-pound weight-loss journey after having her third baby</li><li>Why she focused on one goal instead of changing everything at once</li><li>The power of simplicity when pursuing a health goal</li><li>How our thoughts influence the identity we&apos;re creating</li><li>Why validation and self-compassion still matter when you&apos;re working to change your thinking</li></ul><p>Memorable Quote</p><blockquote>“You don&apos;t have to control everything around you to change how you experience your life.” — Natalie Bacon</blockquote><p>Key Takeaways</p><p>Motherhood Doesn&apos;t Have to Become Less Chaotic for You to Feel Less Overwhelmed</p><p>Three boys in three years means Natalie isn&apos;t teaching these tools from a life without noise, messes, big emotions, or competing demands.</p><p>Her approach isn&apos;t about creating circumstances where nothing stressful happens.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What if the goal of motherhood isn&apos;t to finally get everything under control—but to learn how to manage your mind when everything inevitably feels out of control?</p><p>In this episode of <em>Badass Basic Bitch</em>, Brianna sits down with <b>Natalie Bacon</b>, mom of three, professionally certified coach, and host of the #1 podcast <em>Mom On Purpose with Natalie Bacon</em>, for a conversation about the mental load of motherhood, overwhelm, frustration, thought work, and what it actually takes to feel better without waiting for your circumstances—or your kids—to change.</p><p>Natalie has more than eight years of coaching experience and has worked with over 2,000 moms on their mental, emotional, and physical health. But before becoming a coach and entrepreneur, Natalie was an attorney and certified financial planner with the same high-achieving, overthinking tendencies so many women bring into motherhood.</p><p>Then came <b>three boys in three years</b>.</p><p>Rather than trying to eliminate the chaos of raising three young children, Natalie began applying brain management and thought work to the way she experienced motherhood. She learned to recognize the thoughts creating frustration, loosen her need for control, and intentionally develop new thought patterns that allowed her to parent with more confidence, connection, and curiosity.</p><p>Brianna and Natalie unpack what &quot;thought work&quot; actually means, why practicing it outside of stressful moments matters, and how moms can begin separating what&apos;s happening around them from the story their brain is telling them about it.</p><p>Natalie also shares how these same tools played a role in another major personal transformation: <b>losing 50 pounds after having her third child</b>. Instead of trying to overhaul everything at once, she focused on one goal at a time and used thought work to change the questions she was asking herself and the identity she was creating.</p><p>This isn&apos;t about becoming a perfectly calm mom who never gets frustrated. It&apos;s about realizing that while you can&apos;t control every meltdown, homework battle, sleepless night, or chaotic afternoon, you can build the skills to better manage what happens inside of you when they happen.</p><p>In This Episode, We Discuss:</p><ul><li>Natalie&apos;s journey from attorney and certified financial planner to coach and entrepreneur</li><li>Becoming a mom to three boys in three years</li><li>Why Natalie shifted her business toward motherhood and mental and emotional health</li><li>The creation of <em>Mom On Purpose</em></li><li>Why so many moms feel like they&apos;re constantly drowning</li><li>The invisible mental load of motherhood</li><li>What brain management actually means</li><li>How thought work can change the way we experience parenting</li><li>Natalie&apos;s three-part framework for identifying and managing thoughts</li><li>The connection between thoughts, emotions, and our reactions</li><li>Why high-achieving women can struggle with overthinking and control</li><li>How societal expectations influence the way we think motherhood &quot;should&quot; look</li><li>Why a child&apos;s difficult emotions don&apos;t mean something has gone wrong</li><li>Applying thought work during meltdowns, homework struggles, and everyday parenting challenges</li><li>Why the most effective thought work often happens outside the stressful moment</li><li>Creating new neural pathways through intentional practice</li><li>How frustration can reveal the expectations we&apos;re bringing into a situation</li><li>Why trying to control our children&apos;s emotions can increase our own overwhelm</li><li>Using confidence, connection, and curiosity in parenting</li><li>How to identify the thought underneath an uncomfortable emotion</li><li>Why Natalie says not to believe your nighttime thoughts</li><li>Asking your brain better questions instead of allowing it to default to worst-case scenarios</li><li>How thought work helped Natalie transform her relationship with herself</li><li>Natalie&apos;s 50-pound weight-loss journey after having her third baby</li><li>Why she focused on one goal instead of changing everything at once</li><li>The power of simplicity when pursuing a health goal</li><li>How our thoughts influence the identity we&apos;re creating</li><li>Why validation and self-compassion still matter when you&apos;re working to change your thinking</li></ul><p>Memorable Quote</p><blockquote>“You don&apos;t have to control everything around you to change how you experience your life.” — Natalie Bacon</blockquote><p>Key Takeaways</p><p>Motherhood Doesn&apos;t Have to Become Less Chaotic for You to Feel Less Overwhelmed</p><p>Three boys in three years means Natalie isn&apos;t teaching these tools from a life without noise, messes, big emotions, or competing demands.</p><p>Her approach isn&apos;t about creating circumstances where nothing stressful happens. It&apos;s about developing the mental and emotional skills to respond differently when it does.</p><p>That distinction matters because if your peace depends on everyone around you behaving the way you want, you&apos;re constantly handing control of your emotional experience to circumstances you can&apos;t actually control.</p><p>Your Thoughts Aren&apos;t Automatically Facts</p><p>We experience thoughts so quickly that it&apos;s easy to treat them as objective descriptions of reality.</p><p><em>This shouldn&apos;t be happening.</em></p><p><em>He should know how to do this.</em></p><p><em>I can&apos;t handle another thing.</em></p><p><em>Why is everything so hard?</em></p><p>Thought work creates space between having a thought and automatically believing it.</p><p>When you feel frustration building, Natalie encourages becoming curious about what&apos;s underneath it: <b>What am I thinking right now?</b></p><p>That awareness gives you the opportunity to decide whether the thought is helping you—or whether you want to practice a different one.</p><p>Do the Work Before You Need the Work</p><p>Trying to completely change your thinking in the middle of a child&apos;s meltdown isn&apos;t always realistic.</p><p>Natalie emphasizes practicing thought work <b>outside of the moment</b>.</p><p>When things are calm, revisit the situation.

    <description><![CDATA[<p>On this week’s episode we have Tina Anderson, who is the CEO and co-founder of Just Thrive, a wellness brand that empowers you to control your health, live your best life, and feel amazing. Today we are going to hear about Tina’s journey that led her to launching Just Thrive and take a deep dive into understanding our gut health and digestion and the role of probiotics in our overall health and wellness. We unpack the difference between probiotics and prebiotics, uncover myths and misconceptions,  and understand how gut health impacts us both physically and mentally .<br/><br/>Tina Anderson’s journey into the world of health had a unique start and some unusual turns. She began her career as a trial lawyer who specialized in settling cases by bringing both sides together, a personal passion of hers. Once her second child arrived, Tina left that high-stress job behind so she could focus on her family. Luckily, she was still able to use her considerable legal skills to point her career in a new direction as the in-house counsel for a family pharmaceutical company. But what Tina saw there made her change direction again. Frustrated by the many abuses in the pharmaceutical industry, Tina turned toward the field of natural health, and found her life’s work. She channeled her energy into learning all she could about disease prevention and good health maintenance. That led her to discover the importance of gut health and how connected and crucial it is for overall health and wellness. To share her discovery with the world, Tina along with her husband created a unique supplement that contains the superior probiotic strains of renowned researcher Dr. Simon Cutting. By promoting gut health and probiotics, Tina shares her passion for wellness, helping others live their best physical and emotional lives. <br/><br/><b>Connect with Tina and Just Thrive!</b></p><ul><li>Instagram: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/justthrivehealth/'>@justthrivehealth</a></li><li>Try Just Thrive Probiotics and Just Calm: <a href='https://justthrivehealth.com/'>https://justthrivehealth.com/</a><br/>Use code <b>BRIANNA</b> at checkout for 15% off your order.</li></ul><p><b>Connect with Brianna!</b></p><ul><li>Instagram: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/mombossinaustin/'>@mombossinaustin</a></li><li>LinkedIn: <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/briannademike/'>linkedin.com/in/briannademike</a></li></ul><p><b>Follow the Podcast on Instagram:</b> <a href='https://www.instagram.com/badassbasicbitch/'>@badassbasicbitch</a><br/>Love the podcast?

She takes us through her journey serving in the Army, losing her leg during deployment, starting a family, running a non-profit, writing a book, qualifying and competing in the Paralympics, and what it has meant to represent the USA in a different uniform. <br/><br/>Melissa likes to say she was born a patriot. She joined ROTC in college and was commissioned as an Army. In early 2004 she deployed to Iraq and on April 13,  2004 her vehicle was hit by a roadside bomb and she became the first female to lose a limb in active combat. As a new above the knee amputee she was medically retired with a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star. She quickly adapted into a life of sports and went on to swim in the 2008 Beijing Paralympics before turning to the sport of triathlon in 2009. She is a 3x Paratriathlon World Champion and competed at the 2016 and 2021 Paralympics in the sport of triathlon. Melissa says one of the best days of her life was winning a bronze medal in the 2016 Rio Paralympics. Melissa is the co-founder of the Chicago based Dare2tri Paratriathlon club where she helps get other athletes with disabilities into the sport of triathlon. She currently travels the nation for her career as a motivational speaker, owns an orthotic and prosthetic company with her husband, is a triathlon coach and most importantly a mother of 2 young children. She hopes to continue her athletic career with dreams of becoming a 4x Paralympian and competing in Paris 2024.<br/><br/>Melissa&apos;s Instagram:<a href='https://www.instagram.com/MStockwell01/'> @mstockwell01<br/></a>Melissa&apos;s Website: <a href='https://www.melissastockwell.com/'>melissastockwell.com</a><br/><br/><a href='https://www.instagram.com/badassbasicbitch/'>@badassbasicbitch</a></p>]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[<p>On this week’s episode we have Christy Parisi, who is a single mom, special education teacher, blogger, and part-time singer in an emo pop-punk band. As a long time listener of the Badass Basic Bitch podcast, it&apos;s Christy&apos;s turn to share her personal story of navigating divorce, mental health, recovering from a toxic environment in childhood, being a single mom, setting boundaries, and finding a community of people she trusts.<br/><br/>After separating from her ex, Christy moved from a giant four-bedroom colonial to a very modest two-bedroom first floor condo. She was determined to make this chapter of her and her son’s lives as comfy and peaceful as possible. She started sharing, on Instagram, all the little ways she was doing just that: painting her kitchen floor, wallpapering, unscrewing the doors off cabinets to give the aesthetic of open shelving. Not consistently feeling at peace when she was growing up, she remembers always thinking, “whatever this is.... I want the opposite of it when I have my own home.” She feels that it is incredibly important for your home to be your safe haven. A place where you can decompress from the demands and ups and downs that is everyday life. She always wants her son to feel safe at home. She wants him to grow up knowing stability and consistency. She also hopes to teach him, and remind herself, that self care is never selfish. It’s ok to take breaks and recharge. It’s ok to say, “no,” and not to overcommit yourself. She has found that setting boundaries and leaving time for herself whenever possible allows her to be the best version of herself for not only her, but her friends, family, and little boy.</p><p>Connect with Christy!<br/>Christy&apos;s Instagram: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/our.comfy.abode/'>@our.comfy.abode</a><br/><br/>Connect with us!<br/>Brianna&apos;s Instagram: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/mombossinaustin/'>@mombossinaustin</a><br/>Podcast Instagram: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/badassbasicbitch/'>@badassbasicbitch</a></p>]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[<p>On this week’s episode we have Davinia Tomlinson, financial expert and founder and CEO of rainchq, an organization that helps women build sustainable long-term wealth and live life entirely on their own terms. She is the author of <em>Cash is Queen</em>, a book that empowers teens and young adults to learn about finance. During this episode, Davinia and Brianna discuss how we can support the next generation of young women and children by equipping them with the right tools to build financial literacy and how to be intentional about conversations and behaviors surrounding money.<br/><br/>Davinia is the award-winning founder of rainchq, set up to help women take control of their financial futures. She has over 15 years experience across the investment management and professional services industries. Davinia has a First Class Honours degree from Aston University, an Executive MBA from Cass Business School and holds the Investment Management Certificate (IMC).<br/><br/>Outside of rainchq, Davinia is a Trustee at Talawa Theatre Company, established more than 30 years ago to improve black representation in theatre. She is the mother of two young daughters who are the best mini-rainmakers and her ultimate inspiration.<br/><br/>Davinia started rainchq in 2018 after 15 years working in the investment management industry and becoming frustrated with both the poor representation of women in senior management positions and low engagement of women in general when it came to their finances.</p><p>In her view, one situation fuels the other – with so few women occupying a seat at the table in the financial services industry, it’s virtually impossible to develop products and services designed to support us over the long term in making decisions that can help us meet our financial goals. It’s a reality that’s reflected in the data: despite women outliving men, we currently save up to 5 times less for retirement. A frightening prospect.<br/><br/>rainchq was born out of Davinia&apos;s commitment to helping women overcome some of these challenges and in particular helping them take control of their financial futures and live their best, most financially abundant lives, once and for all. <br/><br/>Davinia&apos;s Book: <a href='https://www.amazon.com/Cash-Queen-Securing-Spending-Stashing/dp/0711276366/ref=sr_1_1?crid=39DC384XEDPZX&amp;keywords=cash+is+queen&amp;qid=1673321884&amp;sprefix=cash+is+queen%2Caps%2C206&amp;sr=8-1#customerReviews'><em>Cash is Queen</em></a><em><br/></em>Davinia&apos;s LinkedIn: <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/davinia-tomlinson-0a7b2448/'>www.linkedin.com/in/davinia-tomlinson-0a7b2448/ <br/></a>Davinia&apos;s/ rainchq Instagram: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/rainchq/'>@rainchq</a><br/>rainchq website: <a href='https://www.rainchq.com/'>www.rainchq.com/</a><br/><br/>Brianna&apos;s Instagram: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/mombossinaustin/'>@mombossinaustin</a><br/>Podcast Instagram: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/badassbasicbitch/'>@badassbasicbitch</a></p>]]></description>

For Jennifer Hartman, being laid off alongside her husband during COVID created the perfect &quot;now or never&quot; moment that transformed this shy, introverted mom into a bestselling romance author with 14 books in just four years.<br/><br/>Jennifer pulls back the curtain on her meteoric rise in publishing, sharing how her fourth book &quot;Still Beating&quot; – a dark romance about two people chained together in a basement – unexpectedly caught fire online and is now being adapted for film. With refreshing candor, she discusses the emotional vulnerability of sharing her words with strangers and the surreal experience of seeing her books on Target shelves.

She recounts a tearful encounter with a woman who credited one of Jennifer&apos;s books for giving her a reason to live during a dark period. These connections remind us why storytelling matters. Meanwhile, at home, her family dynamic has evolved beautifully as her husband transitioned from corporate life to becoming her business partner and stay-at-home dad, handling everything from book covers to household management.<br/><br/>Whether you&apos;re harboring secret dreams of authorship or simply love hearing how ordinary people achieve extraordinary things, Jennifer&apos;s journey proves that stepping outside your comfort zone can lead to unimaginable success.

Sandra made the decision to go back to school in 2015 to get a masterʼs degree in Journalism, Storytelling &amp; Documentary Filmmaking from Columbia University.<br/><br/>Through the power of story, and leveraging her experience as a management consultant, Sandra has made it her mission to help others create the best version of themselves. She is building brands focused on providing inspiration, tools and community.<br/><br/>Sandra is also the founder of Ndini, which is a platform focused on telling the often-untold stories of inspiring, trailblazing women of African descent.<br/><br/>On this week&apos;s episode we hear about Sandra&apos;s story and how it brought her to where she is today helping women. We dive into what self-love really means and discuss how self-love and self-worth set the foundation for building and breaking habits.<br/><br/>Instagram handle:   <a href='https://www.instagram.com/sandra.chuma/'>@sandra.chuma</a></p><p>Facebook page:      <a href='https://www.facebook.com/mssandrachuma'>https://www.facebook.com/mssandrachuma</a></p><p>Website Links:        <a href='https://sandrachuma.com/'>https://sandrachuma.com</a>, <a href='https://iamworthy.com/'>https://iamworthy.com</a></p>]]></content:encoded>

Despite achieving success in my career, I struggled with my weight until I found that diets don’t work, but lifestyle changes do. This realization led me to the top 2% of my company and a mission to help others shed pounds and gain confidence. However, my own journey toward self-love was the most profound transformation of all. In 2020, I hit a low point and embarked on a spiritual self-love journey, healing addiction and finding inner fulfillment. Now, I empower women to discover their worth beyond appearances, as I did.

Join me in embracing self-love and manifesting a life that exceeds your wildest dreams! <br/><br/><b>Connect with Misty:</b></p><ul><li>Instagram: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/misty_laboy/'>https://www.instagram.com/misty_laboy/</a></li><li>Facebook: <a href='https://www.facebook.com/beauty4unme2'>https://www.facebook.com/beauty4unme2</a></li><li>Website: <a href='http://www.mistylaboy.com/'>Www.mistylaboy.com</a></li></ul><p><b>Connect with Brianna:</b></p><ul><li>Instagram: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/mombossinaustin/'>@mombossinaustin</a></li><li>LinkedIn: <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/briannademike/'>linkedin.com/in/briannademike</a></li></ul><p><b>Follow the Podcast on Instagram:</b> <a href='https://www.instagram.com/badassbasicbitch/'>@badassbasicbitch</a><br/>Love the podcast?

    <description><![CDATA[<p>On this week&apos;s episode, we&apos;re joined by Harriet Hadfield, a renowned makeup artist who&apos;s now a business mentor. Harriet takes us on an inspiring journey from her rural upbringing to her remarkable career, where she&apos;s collaborated with A-list celebrities. She passionately dismantles the &quot;starving artist&quot; myth and sheds light on how creative freelancers can thrive as business CEOs. Tune in to gain profound insights into leveraging social media for success, mastering negotiation dynamics, and shifting from limitation-focused thinking to opportunity-driven strategies. Harriet&apos;s empowering message challenges conventional norms and invites you to reconsider who sets the rules in your career.<br/><br/><b>More about Harriet!</b><br/>Harriet is a huge A-list celebrity makeup artist (IE Olivia Rodrigo),  Youtuber, and business coach.

She discusses the challenges of launching a new beverage brand, from post-bottling fermentation issues to the recent bank collapse.

Sarah details her plans for future product extensions and her vision of making BOXT America&apos;s house wine. <br/><br/><b>More about Sarah:</b><br/>Sarah’s love of wine began in her early 20s when she accompanied her Dad on a business trip to Chile. They were invited to Vina Santa Rita, and as she listened to the winemaker tell stories about the vineyard and the ancient carménère grape, she was hooked. She had discovered the art of winemaking and it became one of the loves of her life.<br/><br/>She continued to travel, seeking out wines in Italy, France and Spain. She began exploring the intersection of individual taste expectations versus varietals and began cultivating her understanding of why she loved a certain glass of wine more than another. Her taste-first approach to making wine started here.<br/><br/>BOXT is Sarah’s vision brought to life, and she sets the bar exceedingly high when it comes to sourcing, crafting and delivering her wine. She remembers the stories the winemaker told and of the simple elegance of the carmenere grape.

    <description><![CDATA[<p>On today&apos;s episode we are joined by Kennedy Hammond, the owner of Love of Earth Co. and an inspiring advocate for sustainable living and zero-waste practices. We explore what it means to live a zero-waste life and why it is crucial for the health of our planet. Kennedy explains that zero waste extends beyond recycling and emphasizes the importance of reducing waste at its source. She highlights the global waste problem, shedding light on the significant role that the United States plays in contributing to this issue.<br/><br/>Transitioning to a zero-waste lifestyle may seem daunting to many, but Kennedy shares practical steps and insightful advice to help listeners get started on their own sustainability  journey. We discuss everyday product swaps and zero-waste alternatives, dispelling the misconception that sustainable living is expensive or out of reach for the average person. Kennedy empowers listeners with the understanding that even small changes can have a substantial impact on waste reduction and that sustainability can actually lead to long-term financial benefits.<br/><br/><b>More About Kennedy:<br/></b>After traveling the world &amp; ending up in a few 3rd world countries, Kennedy quickly realized how our trash over here in America, effects other countries all around the world! Most of the time, in the worst of ways. So she made it a point when she returned to not only lower her waste as much as possible but give Americans every resource possible to do that for themselves as well! <br/><br/><b>Connect with Kennedy!</b></p><ul><li>Instagram: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/loveofearthco/'>@loveofearthco</a></li><li>TikTok: <a href='https://www.tiktok.com/@loveofearthco'>@loveofearthco</a></li><li>Website: <a href='https://loveofearthco.com/'>loveofearthco.com/</a></li><li>Zero-Waste Groceries and Refill Stations near you: <a href='https://www.litterless.com/'>www.litterless.com/</a></li></ul><p><b>Connect with Brianna!</b></p><ul><li>Instagram: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/mombossinaustin/'>@mombossinaustin</a></li><li>LinkedIn: <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/briannademike/'>linkedin.com/in/briannademike</a></li></ul><p><b>Follow the Podcast on Instagram:</b> <a href='https://www.instagram.com/badassbasicbitch/'>@badassbasicbitch</a><br/>Love the podcast?

With her extensive knowledge and experience, Professor Hamilton uses her social media platform to educate people on effective communication techniques. Today, she brings her expertise to our discussion on workplace bullying.<br/><br/>Professor Hamilton shares valuable insights, drawing from her own research and experiences. She emphasizes the importance of assertive communication, setting boundaries, and cultivating resilience. With her guidance, we explore various scenarios of workplace bullying, from subtle microaggressions to overt acts of harassment. <br/><br/>Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of workplace bullying, learn powerful techniques to assert yourself, and discover strategies to create a positive work environment. Whether you&apos;re currently dealing with workplace bullying or simply want to be better equipped to support others, this episode offers invaluable wisdom and empowerment.<br/><br/><b>[Trigger Warning]:</b><em>Please be advised that this episode includes a discussion about workplace bullying, which may include sensitive topics such as mental health and suicide. While we aim to handle these subjects with care and provide supportive information, we understand that they can be distressing for some. If you find these topics triggering or feel emotionally overwhelmed, we encourage you to prioritize your well-being and consider skipping this episode or having a support system in place. If you or someone you know is struggling with suicidal thoughts, please reach out to a mental health professional or a hotline (988). You are not alone, and there is help available.</em><br/><br/><b>More About Jaime: <br/></b>Communication is the magic with which all relationships are created and destroyed. Professor Hamilton’s passion is to teach people how to communicate in ways that enhance the areas of life that matter the most.  Because all human behavior has communicative value, we can conclude that communication is a fundamental skill that is widely underestimated.  It is in every fiber of our humanity.  Without it, we would not exist.  <br/><br/>Jaime has garnered an academic platform of excellence while teaching in Higher Education for over 20 years.  “I thrive on teaching communication skills that people can apply in real-world contexts.”  It is her dream to connect the world of academia with everyday human behavior so that we can understand the world around us in more meaningful ways.  Her teaching techniques combined with her real-life experiences allow her to shine a light on new and innovative ways to communicate.   She believes that relationships are the core of our human nature. “I want to share what I know so that we can cultivate relationships that help us achieve our full potential.” <br/><br/>She founded The Comm Experts, a communication consulting and coaching company, with the hope of teaching effective communication skills beyond the walls of Higher Education.  Her education includes a B.S. and M.A. in Communication Studies from the University of Central Missouri.  Her education foundation is rooted in Rhetorical Theory and Applied Communication.  <br/><br/><b>Connect with Jaime!</b></p><ul><li>Email: <a href='mailto:thecommexperts@gmail.com'>thecommexperts@gmail.com</a></li><li>YouTube: <a href='https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrbp-wccptwXxKO3jbzm-Vw'>@thecommunicationexpert1216</a></li><li>Instagram: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/the_communication_expert/'>@the_communication_expert</a></li><li>TikTok: <a href='https://www.tiktok.com/@the_communication_expert'>@the_communication_expert</a></li></ul><p><b>Connect with Brianna!</b></p><ul><li>Instagram: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/mombossinaustin/'>@mombossinaustin</a></li><li>LinkedIn: <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/briannademike/'>linkedin.com/in/briannademike</a></li></ul>]]></description>

Ashley gives us a life update and shares how one small step forward led her to where she is today. Joining Ashley is Madelyn Klein, a new guest who will be sharing her personal story and how her and Ashley’s paths crossed with their involvement in the Leukemia &amp; Lymphoma Society (LLS). Together, Ashley and Madelyn will give us insight into their journeys, LLS, and the VOY campaign. Ashley&apos;s mission to raise $50,000 by June 2nd in honor of her Dad is truly inspiring, and we&apos;ll discuss how we can all help support the cause. <br/><br/><b>Link to Donate: </b><a href='https://pages.lls.org/voy/uny/alblls23/aclosson'>https://pages.lls.org/voy/uny/alblls23/aclosson</a><br/><br/><b>More about Ashley:</b><br/>Ashley Closson, one of the first guests on the BBB podcast, is back to give us an update on life two years later and dive deeper into her cancer and philanthropic journey. Born and raised in upstate New York, Ashley Closson has a unique story, to say the least. She is happy to share her wins and failures on divorce, being a two-time cancer survivor, navigating changing your career when it isn’t bringing you joy, and lastly, taking control of finding your happy ending no matter the cost. She is a graduate of the Fashion Institute of Technology for Interior Design and Fashion Merchandising. Her passion for helping others after her health battles has guided her to an account executive position for a local not-for-profit health insurance company. She uses her passion for helping others to motivate her to succeed in her career. She also spends her time giving back to the community by serving on the vestry (board) for her church, on an Emerging Leaders committee with a local chamber of commerce, as a member of the leadership team for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s Visionary of the Year campaign, and as a LLS first connection volunteer. When she isn&apos;t working or serving her community, you can find Ashley spending time with her close-knit family and her son, Bennett.<br/><br/><b>More about Madelyn:</b><br/>Madelyn Klein was born and raised in Upstate New York and oversees the Visionaries of the Year campaign for the Leukemia &amp; Lymphoma Society in Albany, NY. Madelyn&apos;s professional background is deeply rooted in sales, marketing, social media, and fundraising. Madelyn has a passion for giving back to her community by volunteering and hosting fundraising events for local organizations such as animal shelters and other non-profit organizations. She got involved with the Leukemia &amp; Lymphoma Society as a volunteer back in 2018 when her father was diagnosed with an incurable form of cancer. She then left the sales world to work full time at the Leukemia &amp; Lymphoma Society last year to spearhead the highest impact fundraising campaign in the Capital Region to help further raise awareness and funds for the organization that helped save her father&apos;s life. When Madelyn isn&apos;t working, she enjoys Pilates, going on walks with her dogs, and spending time with her loved ones.<br/><br/><b>Connect with Ashley and Madelyn!</b></p><ul><li>Madelyn: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/titosmomager/'>@TitosMomager</a></li><li>Ashley: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/ash_closs/'>@Ash_Closs</a></li></ul><p><b>Connect with Brianna!</b></p><ul><li>Instagram: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/mombossinaustin/'>@mombossinaustin</a></li><li>LinkedIn: <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/briannademike/'>linkedin.com/in/briannademike</a></li></ul><p><b>Follow the Podcast on Instagram:</b> <a href='https://www.instagram.com/badassbasicbitch/'>@badassbasicbitch</a><br/>Love the podcast?

It wasn’t until hitting post-college life, poised with a theatre degree, student loans, and the onset of panic, that she found running.

Viral selfies from the nyc half marathon struck a chord with women who could relate to the struggle, and soon the Badass Lady Gang was born.<br/><br/>BALG is about enjoying life with a side of running. Kelly’s philosophy measures success by confidence gained, not pounds lost. If you aren’t having fun, it’s time to pivot. Kelly is an RRCA certified coach and has completed Dr. Stacy Sims ‘Women Are Not Small Men’ certification course helping coaches better serve their female athletes. Over the years Kelly has coached thousands of women from brand new runners to those chasing Boston marathon qualifying times, appeared on the cover of Women’s Running Magazine, joined Nike at the Women’s World Cup, and created a worldwide body image empowerment movement called the Sports Bra Squad.

She has now served 20 years as an active duty soldier in the U.S. Army, completing two active combat international tours and two domestic tours. Ciji shares lessons she learned in leadership and in her current transition back to civilian life as she strives for freedom after retirement. <br/><br/>Ciji Evans is from Jonesboro, Louisiana, and graduated from Jonesboro Hodge High School in 2003. She joined the United States Army at the age of seventeen and reported to Fort Jackson, SC for Basic Training one month after graduating high school. She has now served 20 years as an active duty service member. Her last tour of service was at Joint Base McGuire Dix Lakehurst where she served as Chief Warrant Officer Three with the job title, Human Resources Technician. Her tours of service have been both stateside and abroad. She has served in two active combat wars and deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. She has been awarded the Bronze Star Medal and several other accolades but the reward she values the most is the strong relationships she has built with the Soldiers that she had the privilege of serving with. Leadership is a passion of hers and she believes emotional intelligence is at the forefront of any great leader. As she prepares to retire from the military she is quickly reminded she will be a Soldier for Life. She desires to continue to serve others with a special emphasis on veterans and lower-income communities. Ciji’s main goal after retirement is to enjoy FREEDOM and to be able to take more risks since her life has pivoted from surviving to thriving.<br/><br/>Connect with Ciji on LinkedIn: <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/ciji-evans'>https://www.linkedin.com/in/ciji-evans</a><br/><br/>Follow us on Instagram:<br/><a href='https://www.instagram.com/mombossinaustin/'>@mombossinaustin</a><br/><a href='https://www.instagram.com/badassbasicbitch/'>@badassbasicbitch</a></p>]]></description>

We dive into diet culture, societal norms, what it really means to be body positive, fat phobia, diet culture red flags on social media, and so much more. <br/><br/>Alexis Conason, PsyD, CEDS-S, is a clinical psychologist and certified eating disorder specialist in private practice in New York City. She is the owner of Conason Psychological Services, a Health At Every Size ®-informed group therapy practice specializing in the treatment of binge eating disorder, disordered eating, and body image.

But most rewarding is helping her clients transform their relationship with food and experience the joys of eating.

That spring, she learned she would soon be deploying to Iraq. During her mobilization, Boothe&apos;s life was torn apart by two significant events. In August of that year, she lost everything she owned due to Hurricane Katrina. She tried to shift her focus to her platoon that counted on her for leadership through the deployment. However, in September, she received a devastating diagnosis of aggressive head, neck, and throat cancer and could not deploy.<br/> <br/>Boothe&apos;s options were limited and posed some tough choices for her. Because of her illness, she was facing discharge from the military. But she needed complex full-time medical care, a job, and a place to live with her young son. When searching for assistance, she found there were no existing programs for female Veterans with children. Her military told her to explore welfare and social services as an option, just like every other single mother. Jas then realized that America had forgotten about the women who have served, fought, bled, and died alongside their male counterparts. She found these options unacceptable for a woman who had honorably served her country. After extensive cancer treatment, including radiation therapy that would leave life-long side effects, she was able to stay in the Reserves and immediately began looking for full-time employment and a place for her and her son to live.<br/> <br/>In 2006, she relocated to Missouri with her aunt, where she had subsequently accepted a job offer from the Army National Guard. Later in the year, she received an opportunity to return to full-time duty in Washington, DC.; nonetheless, Boothe never forgot what she and her son had been through. She became determined to ensure her fellow sister Veterans had a resource in their time of need.<br/> <br/>Jas founded Final Salute Inc in November 2010 as part of her commitment to &quot;Never Leave a Fallen Comrade.&quot;<br/><br/>Final Salute Inc has assisted over 7000 women Veterans and children in over 30 States and Territories.<br/> <br/>Boothe holds a BA in Mass Communications from Mississippi Valley State University and dual MAs in Human Resource Management and Management and Leadership from Webster University.<br/><br/>Jas also features in the 2017 documentary &quot;Served Like a Girl&quot; (http://servedlikeagirl.com/), produced by Lysa Heslov, which follows several American women wounded in action transitioning from soldier to civilian after serving their country in Iraq and Afghanistan.<br/> <br/>Boothe is the mother of two wonderful boys, Brandon (currently serving in the United States Air Force) and Jammel Jr., and wife to a Marine Combat Veteran, Jammel R.

In the early days of the coronavirus, tens of millions of Americans were unemployed, a number that’s dropped to just over 11 million by October.
