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.

The Mind-Body Connection and Becoming Our Own Best Motivators with Suzanne Vita Battinelli
On this week's episode, we are joined by Suzanne Vita Battinelli, founder and CEO of The U, a full-service, virtual health and wellness provider. We dive into the relationship between fitness and mindset, finding motivation within ourselves, pushing through discomfort, and setting realistic fitness goals.
In motion more often than not, Suzanne Vita is a leader, change maker and coach whose philosophy is heavily rooted in the concept of mind over matter. She’s guided by her belief that both the body and mind were designed to progress, even if moving forward requires taking a step back to reflect.
Through a combination of movement, mindfulness, and written and spoken word, Suzanne’s approach to empowerment directly addresses the barriers many of us have self-constructed to stand in our own way. Her work is insightful, progressive and, at times, uncomfortable, but the end result is an image in the mirror that reflects back the version of ourselves we always wanted to be.
While Suzanne’s ultimate love is communicating in a way that makes people stop and think, her day job involves being the founder and CEO of The U, a full-service, virtual health and wellness provider headquartered in Stamford, CT. Her brand’s Prescribed Fitness approach speaks directly to the way she encourages all of us to live our lives: with intention, strategy and plenty of opportunities for play.
