She was facing 4 counts of murder… and turned down a life sentence.

In this powerful episode of Break Phree Podcast, Brianna Render shares her raw and unfiltered journey through the criminal justice system — from refusing immunity and going to trial, to serving nearly a decade behind bars.

While incarcerated at one of Georgia’s highest security women’s prisons, she navigated survival, leadership, and transformation — ultimately leaving prison with multiple certifications and a new purpose.

But this story goes deeper.

Brianna opens up about the heartbreaking loss of her best friend, Shauntrice Murry, who died in custody after alleged medical neglect — a story later covered by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. She shares what she witnessed, how it changed her, and why she continues to advocate for justice and prison reform.

Now a business owner in Atlanta, Brianna is creating second chances for others through her spa — hiring formerly incarcerated individuals and helping them rebuild their lives.

And in a full-circle moment that will stop you in your tracks…

Her 20-year-old son is now facing the death penalty.

This isn’t just a story… it’s a conversation we all need to hear.

After more than 30 years of marriage, Britta Tabor found herself facing a reality she never expected — life after divorce.

In this honest and empowering episode of the Break Phree Podcast, Britta opens up about the pain of losing the life she built, the identity she had wrapped in marriage, and the courage it took to rediscover who she was outside of it.

Together, we talk about heartbreak, healing, faith, and the powerful journey of becoming yourself again.

This episode is for every woman who has ever wondered if it’s too late to start over — and the truth is, it isn’t.

Sometimes the end of one life is the beginning of finally meeting the woman you were always meant to be.

For years, people have heard my story — the mistakes, the prison sentence, and the redemption that followed.

But today, we tell the story that is rarely heard.

The story of the mother.

In this deeply personal episode of the Break Phree Podcast, I sit down with the woman who stood by me during the darkest chapter of my life — my mother. While I served time behind bars, she carried a different kind of sentence: the pain, the shame, the judgment, and the prayers of a mother loving her child through incarceration.

This conversation is for every mother who has cried in silence, walked through prison doors, and held onto faith when the world said to let go.

Because sometimes the strongest person in the story… is the one waiting on the other side of the prison gate.
