Who doesn’t love a moment for a good handbag and a woman with ambition?! Today’s guest is our go-to gal for both new and pre-owned luxury accessories, Julia Carney of Julia Rose Boston Luxury. 

Julia started her business while living in London during Brexit when luxury handbags were at an all time low (tune in to hear her first investment!). She also saw at this time a gap in the luxury market for how a designer handbag would look on a curvier-figured woman. And then voila. Her business mind paired with her emotional awareness created an impactful and successful luxury brand.

Brittany and Julia are chatting:

• How Julia left her 9-5 working in public health development at Mass General Hospital in Boston before following her passion of designer accessories 
• Julia’s relatable journey with body image that we all experience
• Why her first office was in a high profile criminal law office!

Buckle in, friends, because in today’s episode, we’re going behind the scenes on how a lawyer with a love for books ditched the courtroom to become one of our all-time favorite authors! And just what exactly is that secret to creating characters so beloved you can’t stop thinking about them? 

Emily Giffin, New York Times Best-Selling Author of Something Borrowed and The Summer Pact is on the podcast and joining not just Brittany, but also our book-loving gal, Nichelle, for the ultimate girl’s chat! 

In this episode, Brittany, Nichelle, and Emily talk about:

• Emily’s not-so-linear journey from litigation lawyer to bestselling author
• How she makes us fall in love with characters who do all the wrong things for the seemingly right reasons
• The behind-the-scenes scoop on her writing process and how a conversation with friends could be the catalyst for her next story
• The inspiration behind her latest novel, The Summer Pact, and the life lessons hidden between the pages
• Why she’s jealous of Nichelle 👀
• Her sneaky incorporation of a cameo in every one of her novels (can you guess who they are?)
• And the question on everybody’s lips… is she really a Swiftie?

Emily Giffin wasn’t always planning to write the novels we now devour in a weekend. She started her career as a lawyer, deferring her love for writing to her spare time outside of work. It took her five years to finish her first book, which publishers repeatedly…dun, dun, dun… rejected. 

But our girl Emily didn’t give up. She went on to write her second novel, Something Borrowed, which landed her a book deal and became a staple read for millennial women everywhere. And the rest, as they say, is history!

After this episode, you’ll feel like the creator of some of your favorite book characters just became one of your best friends. Emily’s warmth, humor, and relatability shine through in every story she tells, making it impossible not to be inspired by her journey. Whether you’re a writer, a reader, or someone with a dream that’s been simmering on the back burner, Emily’s story is proof that it’s never too late to go after what you want!

If fear of making the wrong decision, or analysis paralysis, has been keeping you stuck – you won’t be able to press play on this episode fast enough.

Brittany is inviting on entrepreneur, photographer, wife, mama - and in our opinion - queen of the pivot, Liz McShane. Liz is the eye behind most of the photos you see on Brittany’s platforms, but on today’s episode, Liz is providing a fresh take on taking risks.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• How Liz overcame imposter syndrome when she first started as a photographer
• Her 4-question framework on how to make scary decisions
• Her best advice for any upcoming photoshoots

If you feel like you don’t know what your purpose is, or you feel pressure to have it all figured out, this episode will feel like a friend that gives you both empathy and a path forward.
