In this episode, Bri sits down with her older (and shorter, as she lovingly notes) sister Britta for an honest conversation about staying connected in the middle of marriage, parenting, work, and real life. They talk about what it looks like to maintain sisterhood across distance, how they show up for each other when life feels full, and the small, practical ways they stay woven into each other's daily rhythms.

Bri and Britta talk candidly about what it means to stay close as sisters while living in different states and raising families. They share how they navigate being married working moms, communicate differently from their spouses, and find ways to stay connected even when life gets full. They reflect on being the one who reaches out in friendship, how to handle seasons where the effort feels uneven, and the joy (and logistics) of co-vacations with extended family. Along the way, they laugh about being “microwave vs. crockpot” communicators and offer encouragement for nurturing relationships that matter, even when timing and distance aren’t perfect.

This conversation is warm, thoughtful, and filled with go-back-and-listen-again moments. If you’re craving deeper friendship, wondering how to stay meaningfully connected to the women in your life, or simply want to hear two sisters love each other well, you’ll feel right at home here.

Some friendships feel like family — especially when they cross generations.
In this episode, Bri reflects on the lifelong gift of intergenerational friendships — from childhood “old lady friends” like Edna and Eda to her 70-ish year old mentor who has become one of her dearest friends. She shares stories of how these relationships shaped her, what she’s learned from women decades older, and why we need a “friendship board of directors” at every stage of life.

If you’ve ever felt the steadying power of a wise friend, or longed for connection with someone who’s walked the path before you, this episode will remind you that community isn’t just built — it’s passed down.

What happens when two twin moms sit down for coffee and conversation? Double the laughter, double the honesty, and a whole lot of memories.

In this episode, Bri invites her longtime friend Kelly — a fellow twin mom, former teacher, and photographer — to talk about what makes the Mom of Multiples (MoM) connection so unique. They share how they met through a local twin mom group, how that sisterhood carried them through sleepless nights and NICU stays, and how it still shapes their middle school parenting years today.

From feeding two babies at 3 a.m. to finding humor in the middle school funk (literally), Bri and Kelly reflect on the gift of kindred friendships — the ones who get it without needing to explain.

Whether you’re a mom of one, twins, or a whole crew, this episode will remind you: motherhood is better when it’s shared.

In this heartwarming episode of 3 with Bri, Bri invites her 11-year-old twins, Mollie and Will, to share what it’s really like starting middle school. From navigating new classrooms and changing friend groups to finding courage in the lunchroom, they open up about the challenges—and surprises—of this big transition.

You’ll hear honest middle school wisdom, laughter, and even a quote from Gandhi as the twins reflect on kindness, connection, and how one “clean drop of water” can make a difference. Whether you’re a parent helping your kids through these years or just reminiscing about your own, this conversation will bring a smile and a few gentle insights about growing up, empathy, and friendship.

In this episode of 3 with Bri, we’re talking about friendship—the real kind that takes effort, invitation, and a little bit of luck. From childhood friend groups to midlife coffee walks, Bri reflects on how connection changes as we grow and what it looks like to build meaningful friendships as adults.

She shares stories of multigenerational friendships, her “board of directors” of trusted people, and honest reflections on how social media can spark both envy and inspiration. Whether you’re craving community or celebrating your circle, this episode reminds us that friendship doesn’t just happen—it’s built, one invitation at a time.

In this episode of 3 with Bri, we’re diving into quality time—why it matters, how to make space for it, and what it looks like in different seasons of life. Whether it’s carving out a standing date night with your spouse, making bedtime simple so you can step out without worry, or turning everyday car rides into meaningful conversations with your kids—quality time is less about quantity and more about intention. Bri shares practical strategies, real-life stories, and encouragement to help married working moms create those meaningful connections with the people who matter most.

Ever wonder how a full-time mom, wife, and educator decides to launch a podcast now? In this episode, Bri pulls back the curtain on the journey that led to 3 with Bri—from raising twins and navigating marriage in the chaos years, to blogging, doctoral studies, and finding the courage to hit “record” after years of waiting.

Bri shares how she balances marriage, motherhood, career, and creativity without spending a dime on fancy equipment, why podcasts became a source of connection for her, and how this little “fringe-hour project” is meant to encourage other married working moms.

Apologies matter—but not all apologies land the same way. In this episode of 3 with Bri, I share how my husband and I built a shared language for repair in our marriage, and how that simple intentionality has shaped nearly 20 years together. From “I forgive you” to “It’s okay,” we’ve learned that the words we use matter just as much as the sincerity behind them. I’ll also talk about creating a “familect” (your family’s unique dialect!) and how silly phrases or shared sayings can turn tense moments into touchstones of connection.

Whether you’re working on repairing with your spouse, your kids, or even yourself—this conversation is about giving grace, finding language that feels real, and choosing connection over perfection.

The start of a new school year is exciting, exhausting, and soul-filling all at once. In this episode of 3 with Bri, I take you inside the real back-to-school experience—dusty classrooms, endless labels, last-minute prep, and the thrill of meeting students for the very first time. From the physical reset of a classroom to the mental load teachers carry, this is a reminder that educators are true heroes in the arena. If you’re a teacher (or love one), this episode will encourage you, celebrate you, and remind you why the work matters.
