This week, Brie takes the mic solo for a deeply personal and heartfelt episode exploring the complicated journey of fitting in—something she’s experiencing right now in her house and continues to deal with herself as an adult.
Brie opens up about her daughter Birdie’s recent struggles with belonging and social anxiety, noting how even though Birdie has friends, she doesn’t always feel connected. Brie shares the emotional challenge of watching her daughter navigate friendships, feel left out, and wrestle with big feelings she doesn’t always know how to process as well as her struggle as a parent to fix it or let Birdie find her own way through it.
From fashion-forward days to hard moments of being the last one picked, Brie dives into how she and her family are supporting Birdie through these growing pains—especially affirmations that can help her inner dialogue and even changing up her weekly routine to prioritize her mental well-being.
But the episode isn’t just about Birdie—Brie also reflects on her own journey of trying to fit in, especially as a woman, a mother, and a business owner. She gets real about feelings of invisibility, imposter syndrome, and the pressure to compare herself on social media. Through it all, Brie reminds herself (and listeners) that the truest form of belonging comes from within—when we show up as our most authentic selves.
Brie closes things out with a special Inspiration & Affirmation that will make you feel noticed and heard.
