Badass Basic Bitch
Brianna was born in New York and raised by a single mom of 5 kids. Through her struggles with self-worth and battling an eating disorder for over a decade, Brianna found herself packing everything in her Honda Civic and moving 3,000 miles to California where she knew no one, to chase an entrepreneur dream.
She found her passion, voice, and used her scrappiness and hardships to achieve something no one ever thought she could; creating a multi-million dollar company, which she sold. But then she found herself in the middle of her own divorce leaving her a single mom of 3. Now, remarried, Brianna lives in Austin with her husband and four children, as she continues to build companies and empower women to see they are enough.
So, what is a Badass Basic Bitch? It all started at an event, in a deep debate when another woman called Brianna a “basic bitch”. Quick off the mark, she replied with, “I’m a badass basic bitch”. We are often quick to judge and quicker to jump to our own conclusions. This woman knew very little about me. She judged me simply on our few interactions with each other. She coined me how she felt I fit into her view.
These Baddie Bs are everywhere. They’re our neighbors, women at church, soccer moms, or single women at the bar. These women are all of different religions and races, they are poor and rich, married, divorced or single. But they all have one thing in common; they are ordinary women doing extraordinary things. And now, it’s time their stories are told.

Parent Wounds: Understanding the Intentions and Impacts of Narcissistic and Gaslighting Parents with Dr. Stephanie Carinia
On this week’s episode we have clinical psychologist, Dr. Stephanie Carinia. Dr. Stephanie specializes in personality disorders, trauma, and addiction and uses her Instagram platform to educate, support, and inspire people to better understand and empower themselves. On this episode, Dr. Stephanie and Brianna unpack relationships with narcissistic and gaslighting parents and how to heal from those relationships. They discuss:
- What is narcissism? Who is a narcissist?
- How and why narcissistic behaviors develop
- Signs of narcissistic abuse in parent/ child relationships
- What is gaslighting?
- How and why people gaslight
- Signs of gaslighting in parent/ child relationships
- How these relationships affect perceptions of yourself and your adult life
- How to heal from narcissistic and gaslighting parents
As a human being & clinical psychologist Dr. Stephanie has gained experience which she wanted to share not only with her clients but with everyone out there. Things she also would have wanted to know if she hadn't been a psychologist herself. She believes this thing called Life can at times be very hard. But with each others help, we can at least make some sense of it all and support each other on our journeys.
She holds a BSc, MSc. and a post- graduate degree in Clinical Psychology at the University of Amsterdam, the equivalent of a PsyD. She is a so called registered 'gezondheidszorgpsycholoog' (clinical psychologist) in the Netherlands. She is also a registered CBT, EMDR & MBT therapist, trained in Schema focused therapy and working psychodynamically.
Dr. Stephanie specialized in personality disorders, trauma and addiction. Deconstructing why we behave the way we do and helping you to understand yourself so you can reconnect to your intuition, is what makes her clock tick. That’s why she studied psychology in the first place: Why do we behave the way we behave.
