If you’re always chasing the next goal, how can you truly enjoy where you are right now? In this heartfelt episode of Badass Books and Besties, Brianna shares her personal journey of slowing down, finding peace in the present, and letting go of the pressure to always “be ahead.” 

From a life-changing health diagnosis to the emotional highs and lows of publishing her debut novel, she opens up about the lessons learned through loss, career shifts, and big wins. You’ll hear inspiring wisdom from Brené Brown, Jen Sincero, Brianna Wiest, and Jon Kabat-Zinn, along with three simple, powerful practices to help you be more present every day. 

Whether you’re in a season of transition or just need a reminder to breathe, this episode is a warm, empowering nudge to find fulfillment in the “right now.”
