Everybody’s got an opinion... but so what?

Forget the rules. There’s no “right way” of doing things. Take up a new hobby, start your own thing, or change your mind 50 times—who cares?

Success isn’t just about money. It’s about doing what makes you happy and finding fulfillment, however that looks for you. It’s time you play by your own rules, even if that means making a few mistakes along the way.

If 22-year-old Bridget and Brianna could see us now? They’d be crying in the club.

Not because we’ve “made it” in some polished LinkedIn way, but because we kept going despite the layoffs, awkward career pivots, and business breakups. We’re finally doing the scary stuff we used to talk ourselves out of.

In this episode, we’re talking about what it means to be the main character of your own story. The scary parts. The plot twists. The moments no one claps for, but still deserve celebration. Because at some point, you have to stop waiting for someone else to validate your achievements. Start advocating for what you need and learn to celebrate how far you’ve come.

We may be entrepreneurs, but we don’t have it all figured out. And honestly, we’re okay with that.

Like everyone, we need constant reminders that:
A) We’re not robots
B) Burnout is not a badge of honor
C) Rest is essential

Setting healthy boundaries is key to protecting our sanity—and once we do that, we actually have the energy to show up and take on new opportunities.

Grab a drink and join us for some real talk on embracing the chaos of work, life, and everything in between.
