Bras Off

Jennifer kicks off the new season with 2x author Ericka Ellis (www.erickaellis.com) and Fiorella Zengotita, and the convo goes straight to the real stuff: how you change over time, what it feels like when life starts shifting, and why the “glow-up” part usually comes after the messy part. They talk about how everyone starts the year yelling “discipline!” and “commitment!”—but then real life shows up (distractions, setbacks, chaos). And honestly? That’s not a sign you’re failing. It’s usually a sign you’re actually doing the thing and getting tested.

They also get into the whole “people put you in a box” situation—friends, family, society… and yeah, sometimes we do it to ourselves too. Like, people get used to one version of you, and when you start dressing different, talking different, dreaming bigger, or wanting something new, it can freak them out. But the point is: you’re allowed to evolve. You’re not supposed to stay the same forever just to make everyone else comfortable. And even if some people don’t come along for the ride, choosing yourself can feel like a huge breath of fresh air.

In this episode, Jennifer Battle and Fiorella Zengotita get real about what it actually means to tap into your “inner bad girl” – and spoiler: it’s way less about being reckless and way more about being unapologetically you.

From Fiorella doing hair at the Latin Grammys and Jennifer grinding back into her workouts post-surgery, to juicy confession-style stories about dating rosters, fake strippers in a college dorm, sneaky Jersey driving with no license, and a wild 32nd birthday in Chicago… the ladies pull back the curtain on the moments they stopped being “good girls” and started choosing themselves.

Jennifer and Fiorella are in full nostalgia mode this week, taking it all the way back to the 90s and early 2000s. From Clueless-era plaid skirts and low-rise jeans to frosted lips, over-plucked brows, MySpace Top 8 politics and Chinese slippers, they unpack the fashion, music, and chaos that raised us.

Along the way, Jennifer shares a vulnerable update on recovering from major surgery and what it’s really like rebuilding her strength, while Fiorella celebrates landing a dream hair client and doing hair for the Latin GRAMMYs. They also go all-in on Love Is Blind: Denver—who they’re secretly rooting for, who gives “hobo-sexual frat boy” energy, and why they’re firmly #JusticeForMegan.

In this heartfelt episode of the Bras Off Podcast, Jennifer, Tia, and Fiorella open up about the power of friendship and the importance of showing up for one another.

Their conversation highlights how women’s friendships provide emotional strength, honesty, and growth in ways that differ from romantic or family relationships. 

Through humor, vulnerability, and reflection, they explore how friendships evolve, why boundaries matter, and how community among women remains a vital source of love and empowerment.

We welcome our behind-the-scenes bestie Taelor to the mic while Tia is off being fabulous. From post-op real talk (hysterectomy healing, nicknaming “the artist formerly known as my uterus”) to Montana road-trip vibes and a Catalina getaway, we warm up before diving headfirst into modern dating: standards, “show up broke” energy, journaling your dream partner, the truth about dating apps, setting respect-boundaries (unsolicited pics = a hard no), and why confidence + clarity are the ultimate love languages. Also: yes, we learned what “soaking” is. You’re welcome.

If you’ve ever side-eyed your group chat or felt a shift in your circle, this episode is for you. Female friendships can be your safe space—or your biggest stressor—and we’re diving deep into what happens when things turn toxic. Inspired by real-life experiences, we unpack how mom group dynamics can quickly go from supportive to straight-up exclusionary, and why some adult friendships still feel like high school all over again.

From being quietly iced out to dealing with passive-aggressive feedback, we’re having the kind of honest (and hilarious) conversation most people only have behind closed doors. We explore the difference between being direct vs. being a “mean girl,” why communication matters more than ever, and how emotional maturity (or lack of it) shows up in everyday interactions. Think Mean Girls energy… but with mortgages and toddlers.

In this episode, we get real about protecting your peace, setting boundaries, and deciding which friendships are actually worth your energy. Because let’s be honest—not every friendship is meant to last forever.

What’s inside this episode:

• The truth about toxic female friendships and red flags to watch for
• How mom group dynamics can turn cliquey and exclusionary
• The fine line between honesty and mean girl behavior in adult friendships
• Real-life stories of being iced out, judged, and misunderstood
• How to handle conflict and have tough conversations like an adult

In this episode of Bras Off, we’re getting comfy at the Vegas Content Studio (shoutout and happy birthday to Chris, the owner!) and diving into a powerful conversation about settling—in love, work, and life. 

We unpack what it really means to settle, inspired by a viral social post about a man who admitted he married for stability rather than love. The conversation gets raw and real as we share our own stories of divorce, career pivots, and the moments when we stopped ignoring that gut feeling telling us, “this isn’t it.” 

We also can’t resist a pop culture sidebar on Trick Daddy’s wild comments about women over 35 (spoiler: we’re not impressed) and what that says about expectations and self-worth. 

Beyond relationships, we explore how settling shows up in our careers, why comfort zones can hold us back, and how rest and reflection can actually help us break free. Wrapping things up, we play our favorite game: imagining our most “delusional, badass selves” and speaking our biggest dreams into existence—because if it’s not a hell yes, it’s a no. This episode is a mix of laughter, tough truths, and inspiration to stop settling and do the damn thing.

We also celebrate our very first Baddie of the Week, Sarah Khan, a dynamic mom, business leader, and TEDx speaker whose talk, The Hidden Cost of Being a Unicorn” is a must-watch.

From sneezing-induced back pain and silver hair slander to jowl-lifting fantasies and the stigma around dating younger men, the hosts share real stories, honest feelings, and deep truths (with some solid side-eye for those trash podcasts judging women after 30 ).

This one’s about owning your age, honoring your glow-up, and doing YOU—on your timeline. Oh, and yes—we get into vaginal rejuvenation. Because, of course we do.
