| 0:00.0 | What's up, Badi Bees? I'm Brianna, mom, wife, serial entrepreneur, and host of the badass basic bitch podcast. |
| 0:18.3 | Each week, I sit down with a seemingly ordinary woman who's doing extraordinary things, |
| 0:24.3 | 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 |
| 0:31.6 | the shit nobody talks about. Welcome to the Batty B Club. Question on repeat. It's so funny because I just went to the bank the other day.
