Might Get Loud with Brittany Racine

In this episode of Might Get Loud, Brittany sits down with her boyfriend Anthony Maisano with friend Andy Ward stepping in as the MC, for an unfiltered conversation that goes way beyond surface-level relationship talk.

This conversation dives into the real dynamics of long-term relationships, blending families, building businesses, navigating ambition, and choosing partnership with or without following a traditional script. From chaotic travel stories (including Montezuma's Revenge and 19-mile suitcase walks through Venice) to honest conversations about work-life balance, independence, marriage, parenting, and building a future together.

Anthony opens up about his future plans launching a new construction venture, while Brittany shares her perspective as a mom, entrepreneur, and partner navigating growth in real time. Expect humor, honesty, strong opinions, and moments that are painfully relatable.

In this first solo episode, we're doing a full 2025 self-check. This is where you look at what worked, what didn't, what you carried for way too long, and what needs to stay in 2025 permanently.

Then we shift into the fun part: building your best 2026.

I'll walk you through the same reflection and goal-setting process I use in my own life — month-by-month highs and lows, habit audits, categories for your goals, and the systems you actually need in place to make them happen.

This is a guided workshop, not just a conversation. By the end of the episode, you'll have clarity on:

• Your biggest wins & lessons from 2025

• What you're done tolerating

• Habits you're taking with you into 2026

• Habits you're ditching

• How to set goals that stick (and the systems behind them)

• How to build a year that actually supports the version of you you're becoming

If you're ready to reset, reflect, and step into a better 2026 — this episode is your starting point.

Let's talk red flags. The light red, the burgundy ones, and the kind that ignite your rage on sight. 🚩

But here's the twist… some of these might actually be yours, and you didn't even realize it. This episode is casual, chaotic, and uncomfortably relatable. Devin and I break down the signs we've ignored, the ones we've carried, and the ones we should've run from. Let's not pretend we don't see the signs anymore.

Join us for a happy hour therapy session to calibrate your psycho meter.

Andy Ward, with Ward's Equipment Rental is back and bringing even more unintentionally educational business strategy than in Season 1. In this episode, we cover everything from why landscapers are going broke, why zoning meetings feel like emotional warfare, how AI might take everyone's job (but also maybe save your business), and why one woman named Gloria single-handedly delayed Andy's expansion by 100 days while half-asleep.

You'll hear the business revelations Andy spent 10 years learning the hard way, why SOPs could save your sanity, how to scale without losing your mind, and a handful of our completely unnecessary Detroit stories including the night The Whitney politely rejected us… twice. It's part comedy, part business therapy, and part "please don't take advice from everyone."

This episode is the voice of a mother who has been fighting for her disabled son for over two decades- often alone, often unheard, and often in systems not built to support families like hers. But it's also a story of resilience. Of refusing to give up. Of love, grit, and the kind of strength that only grows in the shadows of hardship.

Kara Christensen opens her heart and shares her journey as a special-needs parent navigating medical decisions, legal barriers, emotional burnout, and the weight of constant advocacy. This is not just a story, it's a cry for community, a reminder that families facing complex disabilities need support, connection, and people who won't turn away.

• What it's really like to parent a medically complex child when every decision feels high stakes

• The emotional and physical toll long-term caregiving takes on families

• How systems intended to help can leave parents overwhelmed, confused, or abandoned

• The constant advocacy required — from appointments to paperwork to fighting for basic needs

• How trauma and resilience can coexist

• The loneliness parents experience when they feel no one understands

• Why community, shared stories, and support matter

• How one mother keeps choosing courage, even when the world feels impossible

Kara's case continues as she seeks justice for her son to finally receive the financial support he deserves from this tragic accident. If you have any recommendations or would like to donate to get her the representation she needs, please connect with Brittany or see Kara's gofundme page.

How do you get your product into Costco?

Kevin Johnston, founder of Red Stakes Golf, build a brand the old-school way through loyalty, relationships, and relentless work ethic.

In this episode, Brittany Racine sits down with Kevin to uncover how he went from working in coal mines to walking the floor of the PGA Show with his own Made-in-America golf simulator brand which is now sold at Costco.

You'll hear how he built a company rooted in integrity, scaled through genuine connections, and pivoted through economic chaos, COVID, and tech disruption — all while keeping manufacturing right here in Michigan.

They talk about what it really takes to get a big-box partnership, how to survive when business slows down, and why playing the long game still wins in a world obsessed with shortcuts.

Plus, stay tuned for a live golf simulator demo at the end (watch it on Spotify Video or YouTube!) and details on Red Stakes' Black Friday sale.

Welcome back to Might Get Loud with Brittany Racine SEASON 2!

What started as selling MLM products in a spare bedroom turned into Michigan's biggest online boutiques. In this episode, Brittany talks with Whitney O'Keefe, founder and co-owner of Avery Mae Boutique, about how she went from social media live direct sales and sticky note invoices to running a full-scale fashion empire with her husband and team.

Whitney's story is proof that even when your dream doesn't show up the way you pictured it, it still shows up when it's meant to. Through long nights and moments of chaos, she built a business rooted in family and the kind of determination that can only come from starting from scratch with no expectations.

This episode is about betting on yourself when the plan changes, staying open to where life redirects you and realizing that every detour might actually be your destiny.

Not only does Whitney share what methods have been successful with growing on social media but she describes how to sell thousands of products daily straight to the consumer without having a store front.

It's the grand finale of the Might Get Loud: Halloween Mini Series 🎃

Host Brittany Racine, joined by Dana Anderson and psychic medium Kirsten Stanley-Morin, dive deep into the myths, legends, and conspiracies that refuse to die. From vampires and fairies to mermaids, elves, and conspiracies.

But this isn't your typical spooky story episode, it's a full-on exploration of energy, symbolism, and how creatures might just represent different sides of us.

Get ready for one last deep dive into the weird, the wild, and the "what if."

• The connection between mythical creatures and human emotion

• How vampires and mermaids could be symbolic of energy

• Why fairies, elves, and elementals appear in almost every culture

• How animals may be spiritual protectors or guides

• The conspiracy theories that tie folklore, energy, and ancient civilizations together

We are deep diving into spooky season on Might Get Loud 🎃

In this episode host Brittany Racine is met with Dana Anderson and together they sit down to interview Kirsten Stanley-Morin, psychic medium for a fascinating experiment with Ouija boards.

Kirsten leads the conversation by breaking down the true history behind these mysterious tools, how they began as a parlor game, how fear-based storytelling changed their reputation, and why the real magic isn't in the board itself, but in the energy and intention of the people using it.

Then, the group takes things a step further: Kirsten calls in energies of love and light, and attempt to communicate live with surprising results. From mysterious names and messages, this episode walks the line between spooky and soulful.

You'll also hear insights on:

• The power of intention and why fear attracts negative energy

• Why you can use any surface (even a piece of paper) to connect

• The truth about cats, intuition, and spiritual sensitivity 🐈‍⬛

• The importance of prayer, grounding, and energy protection

• Unexpected messages from the other side

It's slightly eerie but all in good fun for the Halloween season. Nothing negative, aggressive or threatened happened or came out of this experiment.
