  • She's SO DUMB

    The fake put- on accent is nails on a chalkboard. It's time to stop and sound like you have an IQ over 5. Seriously one of the dumbest women alive. Reading interview questions is so unprofessional & so is saying "AHmazing " every single sentence. She's so lazy w this podcast & has no clue what it takes to run a successful business.

  • Has room for improvement

    Says the same things over and over when not needed. I think Brittany on a cooking show would be cool. Or if Brittany read facts about sharks or things she likes would be cool instead of the rambling. Brittany please get into therapy and stop drinking before dating. Latest episode sounds like teenagers talking about relationships, sounds emotionally immature. Also, you chose to be with Jax, so i think Brittany needs to own that, take accountability for that part because sounds like Brittany’s act... more
