What's up, Badi Bees? I'm Brianna, mom, wife, serial entrepreneur, and host of the badass basic bitch podcast. Each week, I sit down with a seemingly ordinary woman who's doing extraordinary things,

and I get to share her story with you.

So let's go.

Buckle up as we're going to get real and dive into the shit nobody talks about.

Welcome to the Batty B Club.

Beautiful. nobody talks about welcome to the batty b club beautiful Mary Louie, Mary Lou Davis. So, give us a highlight. So give us a high-level overview of like the summary of Mary Lou's,

you know, growing up and then we're going to dive deeper into where you are now and all of the

stuff that you faced recently. So give us a high level overview of

like, who is Mary Lou? And we want like the happy hour version, not like the formal version.

So give us like, you know, like you're sitting down with a couple of your girlfriends.

We're having a cocktail at a bar. We want that version.

Okay, do you got a joke. So I think like I'd always grown up with my mom telling me that I can do whatever I want at all times. I mean, most kids growing up, they were just like, I'm going to be a ballerine, I'm going to be a doctor, I'll be a president. I told my mom that I wanted to be a vampire and she was just like, you can be the best vampire that you want to be. And I was like, that's great.

It's all I wanted to be.

And then later on, I wanted to be an assassin. I was like, this is great. I think I just liked strong women. Because when you think of like a woman who's a vampire, like, she's got all this stuff and she's always in control and she's just beautiful and doing whatever she wants. And then I would like see an assassin, like, go out.

It's just a confident person.

So I think I've always been, like, attracted to confidence.

That's a good way of terminology. and doing whatever she wants and then I would like see an assassin like go out and it's just a confident

person so I think I've always been like attracted to confidence that's a good way of turning that

instead of thinking of like this murderous streak and then I think I've always just taken that

that my mom has given to me and just done whatever it is that I wanted to like being in school I've

always been that person that stood out

because I got kicked out of class for talking too much. Like I always have something to say.
