you aren’t unmotivated, you just feel unclear on what step to take next. 

even the most driven, disciplined people still get stuck in this cycle — analysis paralysis sets in & the next move becomes difficult to see, let alone make. I’ve been here countless times & I was in this space for YEARS. I spent more time thinking about what to do than executing on what to do, because I could never feel certain that the thing I wanted to do was the right thing to do. 

truth is, you’ll never know for certain if your ne...

me? trust issues? well, yes. 

but you know me, it’s never enough just to say “I have trust issues” — I must know why I have them. this episode stemmed from some serious self-reflection & I wanted to be vulnerable & share what my realizations were. 

this is about more than just trust issues, this is about the impact of seeking, gaining, & shifting perspective. 

I’ll let the episode speak for itself.

we aren't human beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a human experience. everything around us is a part of us, we are all connected, & the veil is extremely thin between the spiritual & the physical realms. 

disclaimer: this episode requires an open mind & a willingness to receive information that may challenge the way you currently think. our beliefs are a sum of our lived experiences & understandably so. yet, there is much more to life than the limited experiences we’ve had as individuals. I ask you, going into this episode, to keep an open min...

"if you want to go far, go together."

you aren't meant to do things alone — individualism is a deadly facade. meaningful relationships come at the cost of inconvenience. there are times in life where our actions don't necessarily benefit us, but they absolutely benefit the people around us. like no, you probably don't want to go to your uncle's themed party, but you do because you know it means a lot to your mom & your family for you to be there. showing up for people isn't easy, but that's why the strongest communities are the ones where pe...

bria nye the science girl, reporting for duty lol

one of the best things that we can do for ourselves is to continuously learn. as i’ve gotten older, my love for learning has grown. but I wasn’t always this way, I just learned how to learn. which sounds funny when you put it that way, but the way I was taught in school is not the way I truly learned. 

as I’ve gotten older, I’ve revisited topics that I heard about growing up, but with an entirely new lense & hunger for informati...

this is my favorite episode to date & a message I want to reach every single woman I know. a message that serves as a reminder, a space to ground into truth, & to reconnect with our power. this is not an “us vs. them” conversation - I am not here to discuss men versus women. I am here to discuss the role that women play & the irreplacibility of that role. for a long time, I did not know this to be true in the way that I do now. part of my purpose is to help guide us, especially women, back...

where are you? are you here? are you present? are you listening? 

plant your feet on the ground, look around, & listen up. this message is one that I feel my angels have been showing me for a while now, one that God has placed on my heart to share. in this episode, I really am speaking to myself — I wanted to look back on this whenever I needed this reminder. if you are here, then I hope it serves as that reminder for you too. this is a very prescious moment you’re in, use it wisely, & thank...

spoiler alert — the answer may lead to more questions. this is a question I’ve heard & asked countless times in my life. it wasn’t until I started to explore the concept of duality that I found an answer. I am not saying my answer is THEE answer, I am simply saying it a potential answer. the thing is, even duality & the concept of it I break down & question too. 

but, in a weird, scientific, & unintentional way — this turned into a hopecore episode??? 

listen to learn & unlearn what you know about how life works, the laws of th...

hi my loves, welcome back — oh how I missed you! the break was much needed, it gave me some time so slow down, to think, to realign myself, & season two will be a product of that. 

going into this season, i want to change things up a little. because if you are not changing, you are not growing. I feel like i’ve been on a journey back to myself over the past few years. this season will be dedicated to finding & understanding my most authentic self.  a journey that every single one of us is on, but it...

You know those moments where you have an epiphany-type of thought? That’s where this episode stemmed from — a random thought that popped into my mind, one that I took days to reflect on and dig further into. One that has stuck with me since I had it: the difference between chasing and pursuing.

In this episode, I talk about the difference between them — and it’s far more simple than you may think. Not only that, but how we’ve lost the plot of pursuit and the importance of it when it comes to the most meaningful...

In this episode, I’m sharing the 5 books that completely shifted my perspective on life, purpose, and the soul. These aren’t just good reads — they’re initiations into a deeper way of seeing yourself and the world.

From Many Lives, Many Masters by Brian Weiss to The Four Agreements, Journey of Souls, A New Earth, and The Alchemist — each book brought me closer to peace, surrender, and self-realization.

If you’ve been craving meaning, clarity, or a reminder that you’re guided, this one’s for you.

This episode is short & simple—because sometimes that’s all we need. A moment to breathe, to slow down, & to remember that we’re doing our best. This is your reminder to be kind to yourself, to recognize how far you’ve come, & to give yourself the credit you deserve just for being here, right now.

con amor xx

If you’re looking for your husband—or your long-term partner—this episode is for you.

I break down the exact process I used to get clear on what kind of man I want in my life. We start by uncovering the limiting beliefs you may hold about men (like “good men don’t exist”) and then reframe them into something more powerful. From there, I walk you through creating a list of the qualities you want in a husband—separating what’s just “nice to have” from the true non-negotiables.

But it doesn’t stop there. We also fl...

In this episode, I open up about one of the hardest experiences of my life—losing my brother. I share the story of his passing, how it impacted me in the months and years that followed, and what grieving has really looked like for me.

I walk through the stages of grief, break down what research says about the grieving process, and most importantly, remind you that whatever you’re feeling—you’re not alone. Grief doesn’t follow a perfect timeline, and it never looks the same for everyone.

If you’ve lost someone, or if you lo...

Vulnerability gets a bad rap — people see it as weakness, when really it’s the opposite. In this episode, I sit down with Brittney Hope to talk about what vulnerability actually is, why it feels uncomfortable, & why it’s one of the most powerful things we can practice as humans.

We dive into the freedom that comes with being real, how letting yourself be seen builds deeper connection, & why choosing vulnerability is choosing courage. If you’ve ever kept your walls up out of fear or struggled to open up, this conversation will remind you that the most bea...

What happens when you commit to yourself for 21 days straight? In this episode, I break down my Self Love Lock-In Challenge—what it is, why I created it, & how it completely shifted the way I show up for myself.

I’ll share my personal experience—what worked, what felt uncomfortable, & how I stayed consistent when I wanted to quit. You’ll also get the exact steps so you can try the challenge for yourself & start building deeper self-trust, confidence, & alignment in your own life.

If you’ve been craving a reset, need structure for your self-care...

In this week’s episode, I sit down with Brittney Hope, founder of Beaming by Brit, a space devoted to helping women heal, show up authentically, and truly love themselves.

Brittney guides women through powerful practices like sound baths, meditation, feminine embodiment coaching, and yoni healing work. She believes that deep healing starts at the root — in a woman’s womb space — an area that’s often overlooked but holds the key to connection, creativity, and confidence.

We talk about:
✨ What feminine embodiment really means and why it matters
✨ How healing yo...

I’ve always believed that the way we live comes down to the small rules we set for ourselves — the non-negotiables that shape our character, relationships & success. In this episode, I’m sharing the 7 rules I live by.

From never holding back a compliment, to asking “why” (because curiosity is sexy), to even my “elevator rule” that’s given me wild connections — these are the principles that guide me in business, friendships & everyday life.

These aren’t fluffy “self-help” quotes you forget tomorrow — they’re practical, real, & tested in my own life. My hope is that they inspire you to cre...

Ever feel like life is on autopilot? Like you're just moving through the motions, waiting for something big to finally make you feel alive?

This episode is your reminder that the magic isn’t out there — it’s already here.
I’m talking about how to romanticize your life in a real, grounded way. Not through fake aesthetic perfection or curated Instagram stories — but through presence, intention, and celebrating the tiniest moments that make life worth living.

We dive into:

Ever feel like you're doing everything right — thriving in your career, healing your inner world, showing up fully — and still end up dating emotionally unavailable men? You're not alone.

This one is honest — and truthfully, it was a hard look in the mirror for me. I’m not just speaking to you in this episode, I’m speaking to myself too.

In this episode, I break down 6 deep-rooted reasons why high-achieving women tend to attract men who can’t meet them emotionally — what these patterns really mean, how they show up, and most importantly, h...

We’ve all been there—that foggy, frustrating space where nothing feels like it’s moving forward. In this episode, I’m opening up about my own recent “stuck” season and why it’s actually normal to go through these phases. 

I share the 3 steps I use to break free: figure out why you’re stuck, create a plan, and interrupt the pattern. Plus, I’m sharing the 21-day challenge I created for myself to reset my mind, energy, and momentum. 

If you’ve been feeling off, uninspired, or just… stuck—this is your sign that it’s time to move aga...

What does it really take to build a career you’re proud of — and stay motivated when the road gets rocky? In this episode, I’m joined by product marketing leader Julie Kemp, whose career journey spans some of the biggest brands in tech, retail, and entertainment. From growing up in North Carolina to leading strategy in Los Angeles, Julie shares how she’s navigated career pivots, self-doubt, and staying creative in fast-paced industries.

We talk about what success actually feels like when you stop chasing someone else’s version of it, how to stay hopeful in your lowes...

Bali gave what it needed to give and then some. In this episode, I’m sharing the six biggest lessons I walked away with after a beautiful, intentional trip with my girls. 

From the reminder that drama-free friendships do exist, to the power of being present, Bali pulled me into the moment in ways I didn’t expect. I talk about what our tour guide taught me about gratitude, why your energy sets the tone, and the realization that the internet is not real life (and shouldn't be your compass). 

Bali is one of the most s...

We’re somehow already halfway through the year—don’t ask me how—but it’s the perfect time to pause and reflect. So in true Bria fashion, I’m sitting down to share the 10 things I’m letting go of in this season. Some are funny. Some are freeing. All are real.

From gluten to the fear of being perceived, I’m talking about the habits, thoughts, and people I’m releasing in order to protect my peace and feel more like me.

Let’s be clear: letting go isn’t giving up—it’s clearing space for what’...

In this episode, Nat and I sit down to talk about the messy, beautiful journey of becoming a woman in your 20s. From the lies we were told to the lessons we’re still learning, we unpack the expectations we had for this decade—and the reality of who we’re actually becoming. 

We answer the big questions: What did we think we’d have figured out by now? What lies were we told about being women in our 20s? What do we wish we could tell our 20-year-old selves?

It’s honest. It’s reflective. I...

This one’s for those who are figuring it out, feeling behind, or questioning if they’re even on the right path. I sat down and answered your questions about my career—from my very first job out of college to the biggest turning points, pivots, and paycheck lessons I’ve picked up along the way.

We talk about taking jobs I wasn’t “qualified” for, falling into consulting (and why it worked), moving cities on gut feelings, and what “success” really means to me now vs. when I was chasing it in my early 20s. I...

What if curiosity didn’t kill the cat—but actually made her magnetic, informed, & powerful?

In this quick & playful episode, I’m diving into why staying curious is one of the most underrated (& sexiest) things we can do.

 I share why asking “why” isn’t naive—it’s bold. It’s how we grow, evolve, and keep that child-like spark alive even in the middle of real-life chaos.

I also drop 10 fun facts—just to remind you that learning sonething new every day is not only important in building confidence, but fun. Because you never know when y...

If you've ever found yourself obsessing over someone’s text, stressing over what decision to make, or stuck in a loop of anxiety about how others perceive you — this episode is your reset.

In this one, I break down the art of detachment — not the cold, numbed-out kind, but the kind rooted in confidence, security, & surrender. We talk about:

This episode is for anyone who needs to hear t...
