Heartache's Not Winning Today Nov 11, 2024

Show notes

Happy Monday! Brie is back on the mic after a few unexpected events that made her change the direction of the episode, and the new destination for today's show is love and self-expression.

Switching things up on today's episode, things start with Inspiration & Affirmation. Brie's been putting a lot of work into connecting with the audience for this series of solo episodes, and it's pushed her creative boundaries in a good way. Self-expression is a topic that's been coming up in her life lately. From small moments to big examples, connecting with aspects of individuality for herself and for others is something that's screaming for her attention. Lately, she's been connecting with self-expression that reminds her of loved ones, some of which are no longer with us.

Before sitting down to tape today's episode, Brie got two calls today that reinforced the fact that life is unpredictable. The loss of a lifelong family friend and a concerning call about her mother, Kathy, brought her day to a screeching halt and forced her to be mentally and emotionally present.

Tying it all together, Brie realizes that what unites all of us is our need for love and human connection.

This Might Be Our Thing! Nov 06, 2024

Show notes

Brie came clean to Bryan about the missing costume with a surprising result. Last week, Brie admitted that there was a high-level coverup when it came to Bryan’s Halloween costume that never arrived. Now he finally knows why he didn’t get to participate in the family’s Peter Pan group costume, but ever the optimist, Bryan found the silver lining to the story.

She also recaps her big weekend with the family that planted a seed that Brie can’t wait to see grow over the next 10, 20, 30 years! She realized that she had started a new family tradition to share with Bryan, Birdie, and Buddy, and she can’t wait to see how it blossoms in the years to come!

Brie also wants you to call the Nikki & Brie hotline at 833-GARCIA2. Their mom, Kathy (known to many as Mama Bella and known to some as GiGi), is coming on the show next week, and if you have questions about business or you’re feeling stuck in your entrepreneurial journey, call in and learn from her wisdom and experience!

Reflecting on watching her mom work hard and set things in motion as an entrepreneur, Brie looks back at working for her mom and an awkward experience that happened on the job.

To close out the episode, Brie picks a quote from Abraham Lincoln that talks about the balance of work and life for Inspiration & Affirmation.

I’ve Got a Confession to Make Nov 04, 2024

Show notes

Happy Monday! Brie is back with some late-breaking news about Halloween with the family, a small oversight that nearly derailed Trick or Treating, her ongoing battle with the mouse of the house, and why one of her new chickens caused panic across the entire neighborhood. Brie is also answering your voicemails, so call the show toll-free at 833-GARCIA2!

First, Brie breaks down her big family-style Halloween and explains why Bryan wasn’t able to be part of the big Peter Pan-themed family group costume event. From dressing up to collecting candy to the excitement of the Switch Witch, and even reducing the spooky stressors, Brie recognizes that she nailed Halloween this year…for the most part.

Brie’s ongoing battle with the mouse in her pantry has entered a new chapter. After taking huge steps to prevent a repeat visit from the rodent, things didn’t go as planned, and it caused a bit of a kitchen kerfuffle.

Then, did one of Brie’s chickens escape? The next family movie night just might be Chicken Run. Fiddler, the chicken that’s known to sit on top of the coop, went missing for a short time. After a small scare and a neighborhood-wide poultry pursuit, things had a happy ending.

833-GARCIA2 is the number to leave the show a voicemail and connect with Nikki & Brie. This week's messages included tips on chicken coops, dating advice, Murder Mystery night at the Bonita Bonita Speakeasy, humane mousetrap suggestions, and more!

To close things out, Brie sprinkles a little fairy dust on Inspiration & Affirmation that will bring out your inner child!

The Creep that Stole Halloween Oct 30, 2024

Show notes

Brie is back on the mic and she has updates on her new chickens! She’s frustrated with Christmas Creeps and plays a new game just in time for Halloween!

First off, Brie is bringing you all the latest news about her chickens! It seems that Brie’s day revolves around her chicken coop. From early morning hellos to evening goodnights, Brie’s all about her feathered friends. However, her short foray into the life of a chicken farmer has resulted in a few unanswered questions about the routines and habits of the newest additions to her family.

While the chickens are welcome into the Danielson house, there’s one unwanted stranger who has Brie staying up late and working overtime. A lover of all animals, Brie is anxious to re-home a mouse that’s invaded her kitchen. The issue is how to apprehend the little creature in a humane way. Things we know about the mouse: It’s cute, it likes bread, it ate a protein bar.

Brie also found herself perplexed when shopping for some candles for Halloween and Thanksgiving. While she’s all about a cozy vibe at the house, it seems all of the home decor stores in town have jumped past Fall and fast-forwarded directly to Christmas and its harshing Brie’s vibe. She was willing to go all-out for Autumn decor, but the Christmas Creep has taken over all available retail space in the tri-county area. Will her hunt for seasonally appropriate candles be successful?

Poetry and Halloween costumes, two things Brie loves, collide in a round of Costume Quiz. Isabella, the show’s editor, puts a twist on the top Halloween costumes of 2024 with some ridiculous riddles that test Brie’s knowledge of cutting-edge trends.

To close things out, Brie shares her Inspiration & Affirmation that put her in the right holiday spirit, the Halloween spirit!

Being Present During the Holidays Oct 28, 2024

Show notes

Time is flying but are Brie’s chickens?

Brie gives an update on the new addition to her family: a flock of chickens! Bryan’s been overwhelmed, but Brie has jumped right in and gone into rancher mode. She will now answer to Farmer Brie. She details how the chickens arrived unexpectedly, her plan to be the best chicken manager on the planet, naming the chickens, and how Bryan embraces all of it.

Tomorrow kicks off the Holiday Season, and Brie reflects on what she did and didn’t like about last year. Managing exceptions, setting goals, and going into the season with true intent is Brie’s plan for 2024/2025. Last year, Brie felt stressed trying to do so much that she didn’t enjoy family time. She overdid it and was exhausted. This year will be different, and she has a plan you can follow if you want to change up your holiday season, too, so you don’t end up burnt out.

Brie wants love and peace for everyone, and as we head into what could be a stressful time, maybe think about the loneliness during times like Halloween and brighten their day. Who DOESN’T love to see kids in costumes???

She’s also prioritizing being mentally present and her health this holiday season. The goal is to avoid falling into the trap of overindulging and feeling unwell later because what we put in our bodies can certainly affect our energy and mentality. Take the stress out of your holidays this season!

Brie closes out the episode with her choice for Inspiration & Affirmation, which is all about taking a moment to yourself, smelling the flowers, and setting the tone for the experience YOU want.

From London with Love Oct 16, 2024

Show notes

Brie is taking the show international this week, and she’s joined by our queen, Kathy!

Brie and Kathy are in London for an epic trip that you’ll see on “1st Look Presents: Extra Mile Club”, a new luxury travel competition show airing on NBC stations in December!

Kathy gives updates on her health; she’s ready to turn 2024 around, start the healing, and feel the love.

Brie’s actually surprised that Kathy joined her on this trip! Kathy’s been laying low and sent a cryptic response to Brie’s invitation that left her a little confused. But good news, Kathy (and her dog Bear), accepted!

Bear, a certified service dog, made the transatlantic flight and has been treated like royalty for the entire trip.

While in London, Brie and Kathy have been filming segments for “Extra Mile Club” that include Bridgerton-themed parties, checking out the local art scene, visiting pubs, and enjoying every minute of a magical week come to life.

Birdie and Buddy are also fascinated by the hotel room that Brie and Kathy are staying in, but they have different reasons for being mesmerized by Brie’s room.

To close things out, Kathy shares a unique Inspiration & Affirmation that centers around her visualization practice.

Slap the Bag Oct 14, 2024

Show notes

Today, Brie is back at the Bonita Bonita Speakeasy with two special guests: Emily & Zac.

Emily & Zac are the hosts of the Speakeasy and oversee bookings, tastings, and everything else that happens there.

Emily has known Nikki & Brie for years, and the way that she first met Brie is not only hilarious but a great throwback for anyone who remembers her from the Total Divas & Total Bellas days.

Emily & Zac broke down their hard work to grow the Speakeasy in the community with creative branding ideas, their focus on customers, and why you just might see them dancing at the end of a busy night.

Emily traces her love of wine back to college and challenges Brie to “Slap the Bag” at the Speakeasy in the near future.

Working with Emily & Zac over the years has made them family, and Brie gets the exclusive on how they got engaged, what threw Zac off on the day he proposed, and the promise about her upcoming wedding that Emily made to Birdie.

To close out the episode, Emily & Zac give their picks for Inspiration & Affirmation, one from Buddha and one from Dolly Parton, but both with immense impact.

A Day in the Life Oct 09, 2024

Show notes

Bris is back to give some in-depth answers about something she’s asked consistently: her schedule.

Budgeting time is a skill that’s taken Brie some time to master, but she’s gotten into a good rhythm, from looking at the big picture of her week every Sunday to allowing herself to focus, finding the right time to multi-task and why 9pm plays such an important role in her routine.

Brie breaks down her morning routine, why she keeps Sundays wide open, what she prioritizes during the day, how she figures out what businesses and brands to spend time on, and how important it is to her to show up to appointments and the specific reason she doesn’t always ride to the airport with Nikki, even if they’re on the same flight.

Then Brie also gives an update on school picture day, why things didn’t go as planned, her new approach to handling emails, how a few words from Kate Winslet inspired her, allowing her kids to figure things out themselves, and why she’s happy that she’s traveling for work as much as she used to.

Call Nikki & Brie and leave a message on the Hotline, 833-GARCIA2.

Check out the Kate Winslet interview Brie mentions in this week’s episode -
