Top Self-Improvement Podcasts

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. 

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. 

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. 

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.

An organized, introverted, schedule following, type 'A' neat freak marries an outgoing, energized, hobby loving man with ADHD.  We see the world through two different lenses but still make it work (or even thrive)- join in each week and listen to our honest conversations as we share life experiences, parenting lessons, stories, and a HUGE variety of topics recommended by listeners like you! 

Growing up, I was taught to say that I was “ok” when I really wasn’t. Mental health just wasn’t something that anyone in my family or community talked about or even had access to. Yet pretty much everyone was affected by it. 

Today, young people of color are disproportionately affected by mental health issues and are not getting the resources they need, and I want to change that.  

And this is why this podcast exists.

Yeah No, I’m Not Ok, my new podcast made in collaboration with LAist Studios, is here to open up the conversation about mental health. Every week we will explore issues that youth face all over the world (addiction, depression, anxiety, suicide, radical self love, and much much more) through conversations with friends, colleagues, activists, artists and health care professionals, all people who have gone through something life-changing and are now healing from it. 

We want to start a mental health revolution. A movement that can start by talking about how we feel. One where we’re not ashamed of our own human experience. 

What will feel like simple conversations among friends will really become a complex narrative of what is happening right now, especially to young people of color. With a real and emotional sound and few easy answers, Yeah No, I’m Not Ok will hopefully become a critical show in a critical time, a place for you to bring your complicated feelings and spend time with people who are rooting for you.

Life's journey demands resilience and the courage to evolve every day. As I step into my 40s, my near-death experiences have taught me invaluable lessons. "The Graceful Edit" podcast is my ode to women navigating life's transitions, blending personal wisdom with my expertise as a licensed aesthetician, skincare artisan, and mentor.

The 30s taught me lessons about self-acceptance and resilience I wish I'd known earlier. "The Graceful Edit" isn't just a podcast; it's a manifesto for aging gracefully, learning from our past to illuminate our future. Together, we'll embrace the beauty of daily "edits" to our lives, transforming missteps into opportunities for growth.

Join me on this journey of laughter, learning, and the art of living beautifully as we age, not like milk, but like fine wine. Let's celebrate the power of becoming more ourselves with each new day.
