EP142: Hey there, Thrive Like a Parent community!
In this powerful episode, I sit down with my dear friend Brittany, a former professional dancer turned fitness entrepreneur who's redefining what it means to be a strong, balanced mom. We dive deep into her incredible journey from New York City's dance world to creating Brits Bar Virtual Studio, sharing raw, vulnerable moments about nervous system regulation, motherhood challenges, and how she built a fitness platform that truly understands what moms need.
Brittany opens up about her struggles with burnout, the importance of self-care, and how she transformed her personal challenges into a mission to support moms everywhere with efficient, meaningful workouts. We talk about everything from dance injuries to pandemic pivots, and how she's created a fitness experience that's not just about looking good, but feeling incredible.

Rebuilding After Loss: The Truth About Healing Over Time
EP:141 Hey THRIVE Community!
It’s been four years since Jonathan passed. And in this episode, I’m bringing you into what healing has really looked like—not the polished version, but the real one.
From turning my home into a space that finally feels calm…
to raising two kids alone…
to building a business while still navigating grief—I’ve done a lot of rebuilding. And it hasn’t been linear.
I’m sharing:
What it felt like to film a vlog on the anniversary of Jonathan’s death
Why my Austin Under 40 nomination brought up way more than pride
My recent Prenuvo health scan (and why I did it for more than just information)
And how the team I’ve built at Thrive has helped me stay grounded—even when life still hits hard
This episode isn’t about having it all figured out.
It’s about continuing to show up for your life—even when it breaks you open.
I hope it reminds you: you’re allowed to take your time. And you don’t have to do it alone.
XOXO,
Dr. B

Practical Parenting in the Digital Age
EP:138 Hey there! I just finished watching the Netflix series "Adolescence" and WOW, do I have some thoughts to share!
In this episode, I'm breaking down why this series is creating such a buzz and why I believe we're facing a PARENTING crisis, not just a boy crisis. I'm getting real about the importance of practical parenting - balancing boundaries with love and connection.
Key Takeaways:
Devices and unlimited freedom are NOT the answer
Your kids NEED structure (they actually want it!)
Boundaries aren't about controlling, they're about protecting
My personal story hits home - with a 50% higher risk of depression in my family, I can't afford to get parenting wrong. This isn't about being perfect, it's about being intentional.
