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.

Self-Love & Self-Worth as the Foundation for Building Habits with Sandra Chuma
Sandra Chuma is an entrepreneur, speaker, coach, podcast host, and award-winning documentary filmmaker. She is the Founder & Chief Creative Officer of WORTHY, which is a platform focused on helping women stop procrastinating on their dreams, and take confident action towards creating a life they love without overwhelm.
Raised in a tiny mud hut in Zimbabwe with no running water or electricity, Sandra has never been one to let circumstances define her. Through hard work, and support from her “village”, she became a management consultant, advising major global companies. She then went on to build two successful companies.
But despite all her professional success, she knew she wasn't walking in her purpose. Sandra made the decision to go back to school in 2015 to get a masterʼs degree in Journalism, Storytelling & Documentary Filmmaking from Columbia University.
Through the power of story, and leveraging her experience as a management consultant, Sandra has made it her mission to help others create the best version of themselves. She is building brands focused on providing inspiration, tools and community.
Sandra is also the founder of Ndini, which is a platform focused on telling the often-untold stories of inspiring, trailblazing women of African descent.
On this week's episode we hear about Sandra's story and how it brought her to where she is today helping women. We dive into what self-love really means and discuss how self-love and self-worth set the foundation for building and breaking habits.
