  • My 2 cents

    I think Brittney is very cool and beautiful in many ways. I wish Brittany had more opportunities to decorate businesses, because she has great taste! Brittney has a lot on her shoulders, and she sure does deserve the best! I don’t like that people make fun of how Brittney laughs or how she talks, that’s messed up to do to others, and i like how she talks, i like listening to Brittney. I’m worried for Brittney that it sounds like she is trying to build her confidence through men giving her attent... more

  • Love you but

    The rewind episodes are making me not want to listen anymore. It feels like a cop out one thing that successful podcast do is be consistent. I would prefer a much shorter episode than a rewind episode. Just feels lazy and I do get excited for your new episodes and then when I find out it’s a rewind I find something else to listen to.

  • 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
