Hello, my lovelies.

Today's podcast episode is going a bit deeper. We are talking about Panic Attacks and I will be opening up on my first severe panic attack last week...don't worry, I am ok. But I wanted to be open and honest on how it all went down and what I am doing to help improve my anxiety. I do discuss details so please if you are suffering with severe anxiety or panic disorder be cautious on listening. But I do hope that if you are struggling or if having trouble with mental health it inspires you to seek help, or talk with someone. YOU MATTER. Mental Health Matters.

It is hard to open up at times but I felt this was needed not only for you but for me. I talk of how I am starting my journey with therapy as well. I hope to continue with updates on therapy and how it has helped me.

Also, if you are needing someone to talk to, cry to, vent to, PLEASE reach out to someone. I am here to talk if you need anything. Below are hotlines if you or a loved one are struggling and need immediate help.

Hello, everyone!

My episode today is all about hand tied extensions. I just got mine done on September 2nd and had quite a few of you reach out. I figured best way is to explain extensions in an episode. I go through research, consultation, finding a stylist, booking appt, buying hair, color, install, upkeep, after care, and MORE. This episode goes in depth on what to expect with cost which is a huge factor in deciding if you want extensions. I hope this episode helps many of you trying to decide on if this is the right move. I plan to give updates periodically about my extensions. But for now, I am in love and obsessed.

If interested in extensions and booking a consultation outreach to @pirlandcosalon via Instagram. Rachel is the BEST.

Also, Rachel got my extensions from JZ Styles. On their page on Instagram @jzstyles.co, they have reels of how they put extension in and the before and afters which are amazing.

I ended up getting 3 rows of the 16 inch extensions in colors Mariah, Sky and Stew. Check out my instagram @beautifullybrennae to see the results.

Xoxo,

WELCOME TO SEASON TWO!

It has been a long 5 months, but I am so happy to be back and more ready than ever. This season is about finding yourself, and becoming your best self mentally, physically and emotionally. With Season 1, and lasted a couple years, I was in a rut, not in a good place mentally and struggling. But with Season 2 starting I feel like I am in a much better mindset to give you the best content I can.

In this first episode I will be discussing manifestation. I needed a lot of this when I was looking for a new job. I wanted to believe good things would happen for me, but it would take a lot of work and manifesting positive thoughts and experiences. I am so grateful for manifesting these amazing opportunities in my life, it was continuous hard work, but is now so rewarding in the long run. 5 months later and I am my happiest self. And you can be too.

Enjoy the first episode of season 2 as I discuss why it is so important to manifest the life you desire.

Please comment, like, share on all social medias. And please a review as well.

Love,

Hello, lovelies!

The past few months have been an interesting and inspiring time in my life. I am so excited to start my next journey; however, at times I was not the most patient person. I am so grateful that I had this experience because it taught me such about the importance of patience. When you feel like your life is close to falling a part just be patient. As sang in one of my favorite songs, "Wait on the Lord, He will renew your strength, so wait I say". Even though I didn't feel like waiting, I am so incredibly grateful I did. God and my family saved me during these past few months and gave me the strength and courage to keep looking forward to the future. They knew that there would be a light in the darkness and were they right. I was able to find a job that gave me the perfect work/life balance and feel renewed again. I dive into the importance of patience during this trying time in my life and I hope it resonates with you all during your trials in life as well.

If you are struggling with changes in your life, know that I am a friend that will listen. We all go through struggles and it is so important to have a friend to help you through it.

At the end of the podcast, I mention some podcasts I have been listening to. Definitely check out Mission: MCU that explores the Marvel Universe. It is a group of friends that do a rewatch/first watch of each Marvel movie in chronological order. AND they discuss each new movie as they came out - they just did an episode on Ant Man and the Wasp Quantamania since it just came out. If you love the MCU you will LOVE this.

Another one is The Deck Investigates by Ashley Flowers (Crime Junkie/AudioChuck), it discusses the cold case of Darlene Hulse who was taken from her home in front of her two daughters, and found dead. Her case remained cold almost 4 decades later, until Ashley and her team start investigating - check it out!

Love you all! Please leave a review if you can. Also, can't wait to bring more content!

Hey everyone! I AM SO SORRY I have been MIA for a month. It has been an interesting season but happy to be back talking on the podcast with you all. Today, I am talking about taking time off just to be you, be with your family, or whatever the reason may be. YOU ARE ALLOWED time off and it is needed! This has been such an amazing time with my son and I am SO GRATEFUL for it. 

Also, apologies for second half of this episode as I pretty much talk about all the podcasts and some discussion of the Murdaugh trials (CRAZY)! But just keeping it real on what I have been doing the past few weeks. 

Much love to you all and I can't wait to bring you more content!

Hello, loves. I am so happy to be back this week. This week I talk about how to get rid of the negative thoughts, bring in the positive and manifesting your dreams. To just KEEP GOING, because it will be worth it. Good things come to those who wait, right? 

Love to you all,

B

Hello, my loves,

I am so sorry I have been MIA the past two weeks. Last Wednesday I got some rough news that I explain more of in this episode. It hit me extremely hard and has been a huge pivotal point in my life. And I have to say, NOT how I wanted to start 2023, but it is okay. This has definitely been a chaotic past week (Happy Birthday to me); however, the love and support I have received has been incredible. Which has helped me understand this time in my life even more. 

Despite the chaos, I have become more confident in myself, I know my worth and know I truly deserve the best. This has been a redirection in my life that I truly didn't expect or think I needed; however, I KNOW bigger and better things are on the way. I just know it. 

I just want to send love, again, to all of my family, friends and coworkers. I am so grateful for your presence in my life - I don't know where I would be without you. Truly. 

I hope you all listen to this episode because I truly feel the most vulnerable in this episode. But I feel it may be my strongest episode yet. When you know what you deserve and know your self worth, I truly believe it brings out the best in you. Which I am so grateful. 

Love to you all, this week. I am so grateful for you. 

I truly can't believe it is New Year's Eve. I am so excited for what this New Year has to bring. It has been a truly incredible year - of course the annual highs and lows, but truly a great year. However, there is always room for improvement. I have been struggling to love myself for the past 27 years and I think it is time to break that curse in the new year. You always hear about the "New Year, New Me"; however, that requires you to change. I don't want to change who I am and I don't want you to change either. BUT how about being a Better Me? I think it has a nice ring to it. I think we all should strive to be a better version of ourselves. 

In today's episode I dive into my goals for the new year and hope that inspires you and your journey. 

Trigger Warning: I do discuss the loss of Stephen "Twitch" Boss. If you have suicidal thoughts, have lost from suicide, PLEASE contact 988 which is the Suicide Hotline. Please reach out for help. You are a light, we don't need another beautiful light lost. 

Much love to you and your family in the New Year - I can't wait to see you and share with you in 2023.
