Welcome to Season 3 of the Your Brand of Beautiful Podcast! If you've been around since day one, these next few months of episodes will feel a lot like our first season -- we're getting back to the heart of the show: storytelling.

In Season 2, we took a fun break and spent a mini-season running episodes based on listener questions (ep 17-23 if you want to binge!), and this season we're back to hearing women share their story of creating their own Brand of Beautiful in life -- which is sure to inspire + equip you to create Yours. 

In this season, you can expect to hear from women like Grace Valentine, Mattie Jackson-Smith, Allee Cyrus, Cassandra Speer (our first return guest!), Olivia Austin, Georgia Stockton, Madeleine Raiford-Holland, Morgan Canclini-Mitchell, Cleere Reeves, Lindsey Castles, Lindsey Epperly, Brittany Bruce, Hannah Kaul, Jennifer Jacob, Mary Bess Marantz, and Brandy Dawson. Make sure you're subscribed wherever you listen so that you don't miss a single episode!

Bailie White is a motivational speaker with nearly 10 years of entrepreneurial experience and a heart for serving, motivating, and encouraging women.

After starting and scaling her first business — a luxury travel agency with a team of 15 women, a celebrity clientele, and multi-millions of dollars in annual sales — she sold the business after realizing what she once thought was her dream, didn’t fully align with the woman she wanted to become.

Today, Bailie is the host of the Your Brand of Beautiful Podcast (debuting on Apple’s Top Charts) and a published author and speaker. Bailie facilitates workshops and delivers keynote speeches to college women, young professionals, and mamapreneurs. Bailie teaches these women how to Stop Being Busy, Quiet The Noise, and Start Being Them — she teaches them how to become Their Own Brand of Beautiful.

Bailie has been featured in media outlets like Buzzfeed and Forbes, but is most proud of her title as ‘wife’ and ‘mom’ to her two small children. Bailie lives with her family on the outskirts of Savannah, Georgia. 

Aren’t you amazed at all the things the female body goes through in the 20-something decade alone?!

This week we are chatting with dietitian Emma Nelson. Emma is an RD who helps women find balance and wellness after being BURNED by diets.

In our conversation we’re diving into all the eras of our twenties when it comes to body image, diet culture, lifestyle and where they all intersect. Eras like:

• The College Era
• The Career Era
• The Bridal Era
• The Prenatal Era
• The Postnatal Era

We start our conversation discussing how social media has become an echo chamber of conflicting nutrition advice that can just be straight up confusing to sift through. So, we hope this conversation serves as a clarifying tool for you + your friends!

Side Note: This is the LAST episode of season two of the Your Brand of Beautiful Podcast. We hope you’ll follow along on Instagram and sign up for emails so you know when we’ll be back in 2025!

• an upcoming or recent grad looking to tap into that network and put it to work
• going through a season of transition like moving cities or entering the workforce again after having babies…

this episode on networking is for you! Joining me today is podcast producer Elizabeth Evans. She was my first call when I received the number of questions surrounding networking that I did!

But she didn’t just luck into such a successful media agency. It took hard work and you guessed it — insane networking skills!

Y'all -- guess what!

By the end of THIS YEAR, I’ll be a published author!

You may already know that I’m signed on with a speaking agency (Greek University) and through it, several other female speakers from the team are working together to co-author Greek University’s newest book titled From Letters to Leaders: The Ladies Edition. 

And I’ve been able to write two chapters of the book! The process was a super cool experience because writing a book is something I can maaaaaybe see myself doing one day? Who knows! So it was definitely neat to be able to dip my toe in and get this experience. Now I won’t give away too many details about the book’s content, but I did get approval to share a little excerpt from one of my chapters titled "Can I Have It All? How to Balance Academics, Work, and Sorority Life." I chose this chapter because I knew I had a lot of experience to pull from, and insight to offer on the topic. And on this episode, I’m going to read part of the chapter to you!

If you're into it, be sure to follow me on Instagram or sign up for my email list for more details on when the book is available for purchase.

As my passion for helping twenty-something year old women grows, the more my eyes are open to the importance and NEED for conversations around mental health.

Mental health questions were the overwhelming majority of topic requests for this podcast season, which is why I knew I needed psychotherapist Talia Gutierrez to come on the show. Talia helps women find healing in their lives by unpacking the baggage that’s holding them back. She does this through therapy services — of course — but also coaching and mental wellness events like her very own experiences called Fueling Her Further.

In our conversation I'm asking her the very questions I was brought by listeners: 

• How do we break down the walls of perfectionism?

• How do we handle our mental health in our twenties?

• What about when we don’t have TIME FOR IT?

• What does self care even look like if I do have some time for it?

• How do I prioritize myself when my plate is already so full?

Listen into this conversation with my friend Talia for the answers — and for some practical tips when it comes with dealing with overwhelm, how to recognize signs of perfectionism, how to ground our nervous systems, and so much more.

Let's talk about money, honey!

Not only was money management a season two topic request that I was thrilled to see, but I knew I had the perfect guest to join with me. 

Katie Bulmer is a motivational speaker + mentor to women in their twenties. She's spoken to over 70+ colleges nationwide + hosts the Truth For Your Twenties Podcast. Also, her husband is the former director of financial literacy at university of Tennessee at Chattanooga, is trained by the Dave Ramsey Organization, + coaches people on how to get right side up on their finances. Of course, by osmosis, Katie is the perfect guest to talk about Money Management + Money Habits for your twenties with us! We begin the conversation by getting Katie's rapid fire responses to these headlines: According to a 2024 Motley Fool Study, Gen Z is more likely to experience financial anxiety than any other generation. Multiple sources say this is because of...

• Cost of living - 52% said they don’t make enough money to live the life they want
• Student loan debt - Gen Z has larger student loan balances than Millennials
• Rent costs - 80% of young adults are renters, average rent has increased 20% in the past 20 years
• Debt - Gen Z AND Millennials have seen the largest average increases in total debt over the past couple of years…

Then, Katie + I conversate around...

• Money habits to avoid in your twenties
• What the Bible says about money
• Where we went right + where we went wrong on our financial journey in our twenties

Disclaimer: This is a note taking episode! Be sure to take with you the tidbits from this convesation you feel might help you on your own financial journey through your twenties.

As our guest says in this episode, "alcohol is going to going to play way too big of a role in our adult life to not have a conversation about it."

So, let's have a conversation about it! Joining me today is Melanie Farrell of Tastefully Buzzed. Melanie is a speaker for college women and she delivers the dreaded alcohol presentation everyone is obligated to sit through -- only with Melanie, it's not a conversation you'll dread at all!

Melanie speaks from a place of knowing that no one wants another lecture that feels like a wrist-slap; instead, they want real, relatable, and actually encouraging content.

In our conversation, you'll begin by hearing Melanie's personal testimony to finding a relationship with Christ. My challenge for you as you listen is this: consider where you see yourself in her story.

Are you the girl in NEED of an uplifting friend, and maybe you need to be open to a “playground” change (you’ll hear what Melanie means by that later in this episode)...

OR are you someone who needs to shine your light to another girl who — maybe to be completely honest you’ve written her off as a lost cause?

In the second half of our conversation, we'll chat around what it means to live Tastefully Buzzed, how alcohol plays a huge role in our life and how to handle that. We're also just chatting about how to bring more vibrancy into your life and relationships! All of this and more in my conversation with Melanie Farrell. I hope you love it!

• What it felt like to DEBUT ON APPLE'S TOP CHARTS!
• The two pieces of feedback that stuck with me the most (insert teary eyes here*)

Listen until the very end where I'll share what's coming for the future of this show!

Have you ever had a bright idea and not known what to do with it?

The inspiration is sometimes the fun and easy part, but when it comes to taking the first steps to making it all happen — or even knowing if you’re fully qualified to TAKE your first steps — is where things get tricky.

The last time I felt this way was when I had the idea to dip my toe into public speaking. I had the idea and the story, but I didn’t know what to do next. Fortunately, I found Mic Drop Workshop which is the online course that launched me into where I am today. Today’s guest is the creator of Mic Drop Workshop, Jess Ekstrom!

Jess is a serial social entrepreneur and bestselling author. She's has been featured in major media outlets such as the Today Show, Good Morning America, Vanity Fair, and more!

After starting and growing her first multi-million dollar company from her dorm room, her speaking and writing career took off. But Jess realized that her success wasn’t about how far she can reach—but how far she can help other women reach.

Today, she helps women uncover the value in their story so they can make a living and a difference at the same time.

Listen into our convo to hear:

• Why Jess believes your college years are some of the best to begin your entrepreneurial journey.
• Jess’ ‘Try It On’ method (used to find out if a big idea is worth chasing).
• An honest take on how beginnings almost never feel ‘easy’ — but how that doesn’t mean it isn’t working or worth pursuing.
• Jess’ ‘Purpose Test’ created to help you find what your purpose is.
• How to have discernment between what we want and what the world tells us we want.

About Jess: Jess is a serial social entrepreneur and bestselling author of Chasing the Bright Side and Create Your Bright Ideas. She has been featured in major media outlets such as the Today Show, Good Morning America, The View, Vanity Fair, People Magazine, Business Insider, Huffington Post and Forbes.

After starting and growing her multi-million dollar company, Headbands of Hope, her speaking and writing career took off. But Jess realized that her success wasn’t about how far she can reach—but how far she can help other women reach.

Today, through her writing, and her uber popular Mic Drop Workshop®, she helps women uncover the value in their story so they can make a living and a difference at the same time.
