Can you love your family and chase your fashion dreams? Can you pause without falling behind? In this powerful episode, Braisha Owens Mount — luxury denim designer, stylist, wife, muva, and walking prayer — unpacks the truth behind what it means to lead with family without losing your fire.

From redefining balance to reclaiming identity, “Family First, Fashion Second” is a love letter to the woman juggling home and hustle. It’s not about choosing one over the other — it’s about making space for both. 💕

Tune in for real talk on:

• Why prioritizing family isn’t weakness — it’s wisdom
• How passion can shift without disappearing
• What honest balance looks like (hint: it’s not 50/50)
• Letting go of guilt, timelines, and pressure to “perform”
• Living aligned, not just visible

Plus — we are LIVE every Thursday at 7pm  you don’t want to miss, with a special guest. 👀

✨ You’re not behind. You’re just building differently. And you’re still her.

🎧 Hit play, and let’s normalize the and — because couture, chaos, and calling can absolutely coexist.

🎙️ Highlight Reel vs Real Life Progress

Welcome to Ask Me: Wife, Mom, Designer = GOD, hosted by Braisha Owens Mount — luxury denim designer, stylist, muva to a tiny CEO, wife to a KING, and most importantly… a walking prayer.

This is a space for grace, grit, garments, and GOD — because couture, chaos, and calling really can coexist.

In today’s episode, we’re calling out the pressure to measure up to someone else’s highlight reel and reclaiming the beauty of our own process. Because let’s be honest: Instagram shows the keys to the new house — not the sleepless nights, side hustles, or silent sacrifices it took to get there.

We’re unpacking:

• What the “highlight reel” really is — and why it’s incomplete
• The self-comparison trap that steals our peace
• How to define real progress: boundaries, rest, bold “no’s,” and quiet confidence
• Tips to stay grounded and mindful while scrolling
• Daily affirmations to remind yourself: you’re not behind — you’re becoming

💡 You don’t have to post it to prove it. Progress counts even when it’s private.
 Let’s choose presence over pressure — and #RealOverReel every time.

✨ Special Announcement: LIVE This Thursday and every thursday!

And before you go — sis, you do NOT want to miss this.

I’m going LIVE this Thursday with a very special guest, and she’s bringing straight fire. 🔥

We’re going deeper into the real-life tension between purpose and priorities, the beauty of becoming, and how to show up boldly — without burning out.

📍Catch us LIVE on Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook
🗓️ This Thursday — set your notifications, bring your journal, and show up ready to be poured into.

Trust me — this is the conversation you didn’t even know you needed.

LIVE THURS with The Bald Artist - Derin

Her take on "You Don’t Bounce Back, You Rebuild" – Ask Me Why: Mom + Designer = God

Welcome to Episode 1 of our LIVE series on Ask Me Why: Mom + Designer = God — The Podcast! Every Thursday, on Youtube, Facebbook, and IG- we go live with real women who embody the beautiful chaos of being either a wife, a mom, a creative — or all three — and who anchor it all in their faith in God.

This  live episode, we were joined by Baldartist_ Derin Fletcher — a creative in every sense of the word. By trade, she’s a gifted visual artist known for her stunning use of color, pencil, and acrylic paint. Her acclaimed Color Girl series put her on the map, not to mention her collabs with NBA, and other notable orgs, alongside her powerful celebrity portrait series that continues to showcase her incredible skill and vision.

But beyond the canvas, Derin is a phenomenal mother, devoted girlfriend,  balancing her art and family with grace and faith. In this conversation, she shares her powerful story — not of bouncing back, but of rebuilding with God as her foundation. Her journey is raw, real, and a reminder that rebuilding is the new normal.

Let us know how you rebuild and make this your new normal. DM us, tag us, or just vibe with us in the comments. And don’t forget — solo episodes drop every Sunday where we set the tone, reflect, and go deeper.

Follow, share, and join the tribe. This is just the beginning.

In today’s first episode, we’re diving deep into the pressure of snapback culture — the unrealistic and often harmful expectations placed on women to "bounce back" after giving birth.

From postpartum healing to the emotional toll of body image comparisons, we’re unpacking what it really means to honor our bodies after childbirth.

Your body did a miraculous thing — it created life — and yet society tells us to fit back into our old jeans, ignore our scars, and smile through the exhaustion.

This episode is about rebuilding — physically, emotionally, spiritually — on your terms.

🔑 Key Topics:

• Postpartum healing
• Body image and motherhood
• Breaking free from "bounce back" expectations
• Reclaiming your body after birth

💬 Call to Action
If today’s episode resonated with you — if you’ve ever felt pressure to “bounce back,” or you’re learning how to honor your own rebuilding process — I want to hear from you.

✨ Leave a comment and tell me:

🔸 What part of your postpartum journey has surprised you the most?
 🔸 How are you rebuilding — physically, emotionally, spiritually?
🔸 What would you tell another new mom who feels stuck in “snap back” culture?

Your voice matters here. This isn’t just a podcast — it’s a conversation, and your story can be the reminder someone else needs today.

TRAILER: Ask Me: Wife, Mom, Designer = GOD

Welcome to Ask Me: Wife, Mom, Designer = GOD — produced by GOD and hosted by me, Braisha Owens Mount.

I’m a luxury denim designer, fashion stylist, muva to a tiny CEO, wife to a KING, and a walking prayer—literally. This podcast is my open diary, prayer closet, and group chat all wrapped in one.

After becoming a mom and planning my dream wedding—all within one year—I found myself in the thick of identity shifts, divine downloads, and the deep work of holding onto myself. People kept asking me, “How are you doing it all?” And the truth is... I’m not. GOD is.

This space is where I show up obediently to share the journey. No filters. Just faith, fashion, and real-life figuring it out.

We’ll talk grace, grit, garments, and GOD—because couture, chaos, and calling can coexist. From motherhood and marriage to entrepreneurship and evolving identity, I’ll share unfiltered moments, soul-deep reflections, and sacred stillness that helped me reclaim who I am.

If you’ve ever wondered where you went in the middle of doing all the things—this podcast is for you.

So nah, don’t ask me how I’m doing it…

Ask GOD.

Then pull up a seat. Let’s talk about it.
