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. Welcome to the Batty B Club. People think of it as digestive issues, but you know, our hormones are produced in our gut.

Our neurotransmitters are produced in our gut.

Serotonin, our happy hormone.

90% of our serotonin is produced in our gut.

Gaba is produced in our gut, which is our calming hormone. Dopamine is produced in our gut. So all of these important neurotransmitters

I'd win this motion and the insurance company would be like, oh, okay, what's the next one? You know, it's just, it wasn't fulfilling. It wasn't what I wanted to do. So I was fortunate enough to be able to go into a family pharmaceutical business. And I thought that was awesome because my husband was in the business as well.
