Bria walked away from the 9–5 with $300 in her account and no safety net. What happened next wasn’t glamorous, but it changed everything. In this episode, Bria unpacks the habits, mindset shifts, and quiet realizations that helped her break free from survival mode and finally feel in control of her money.
It’s not about getting rich overnight. It’s about what no one tells you when you’re stuck, burnt out, and wondering why things still don’t feel stable (no matter how hard you try). From subtle self-sabotage to small changes that add up fast, this one’s for anyone tired of feeling behind.
Also: a little social commentary, a few receipts, and a very awkwardly shaped mic.

Everyone wants to be lucky, but what if luck isn’t something you’re given? What if it’s something you create? In this episode of Because I Love You, Bria breaks down the patterns behind people who seem to "always win" and why it has nothing to do with divine favor or being chosen. If you've ever felt like luck skips over you, this is your wake-up call. We’re talking self-sabotage, inconsistency, nervous system regulation, and why you can’t manifest what you don’t feel safe having. This is your unfiltered guide to actually becoming lucky. Not by force. Not by fantasy. But by showing up differently.
You’ll learn:
This episode will challenge your excuses, drag your comfort zone, and remind you that the universe isn’t ignoring you. You’re just not ready.

Hard work doesn’t guarantee success—but burnout guarantees profit… for someone else. In this episode, Bria unpacks how society manipulates your exhaustion, self-worth, and attention span to keep you stuck in survival mode. From the caffeine-loop chaos to skincare splurges for stress-induced breakouts, she exposes how burnout is big business. You’ll hear personal stories (like the time her grill almost set the house on fire), dive into nervous system regulation, dopamine boundaries, and the subtle ways hyper-independence is glamorized. Plus, she introduces two new segments: Unfriendly Reminders and Low Key or Loco. This episode is a call to stop pouring from an empty cup—and start questioning who benefits when you're too tired to.

This episode is about finally getting out of your own way. The thoughts, the patterns, the need to be right, the fear of being misunderstood — we go there. If you’ve been feeling stuck, emotionally drained, or like you're constantly performing for people who don’t even see you, this is your moment to pause, reflect, and release.
Let this be your sign to stop trying to earn peace and just start living in it.

You know that feeling when someone skips your story and suddenly your whole nervous system goes into crisis mode? Same. In this episode, Bria spirals (lovingly) about how social media is messing with our friendships. The soft blocks, the shared activity feature, the mute button, and that quiet panic when you realize someone you love hasn't engaged with your content in a year.
From the paranoia of "did I do something" to the heartbreak of realizing you might have been muted after having a baby, Bria unpacks how the digital age has turned our friendships into passive performances. It's not just vanity. It's overstimulation, blurred boundaries, and connection fatigue. This is for anyone who’s ever questioned where they stand with someone because of a like or lack thereof.
Whether you're feeling muted, misunderstood, or just plain over it, this is your safe space. Grab a matcha, mute your ego, and let’s talk about it.

From the physical changes to the mental chaos, to the quiet question of “will I ever feel like myself again?” This is my honest take on the messy, beautiful, and often isolating journey of becoming someone new. Not the old me… but maybe someone even better.

Hosted by Bria Jones, this is your safe space to unpack the messy, moody, and magical parts of being human — from personal glow-ups and identity crises to spiritual awakenings and petty realizations.

In this episode of Because I Love You, I’m walking you through the surprisingly unhinged (but incredibly effective) things that have actually helped me thrive postpartum. From reclaiming my identity with nostalgic playlists to forcing myself into twice-a-day showers like it’s a religion, this is not your typical “go take a walk and drink water” advice. I talk about the small rituals, weird hacks, unexpected joys, and raw moments that have made this wild transition a little more manageable—and dare I say, even fun. Whether you’re deep in the newborn bubble or just navigating a major life shift, these insights might be exactly what you didn’t know you needed.

You ever stop to think maybe you’re not actually afraid of failing... you’re just terrified of what happens if it actually works out? In this episode, Bria gets real about the uncomfortable truth behind self-sabotage, why success feels unsafe when you’re used to chaos, and how we unconsciously block the good things we say we want. From toxic relationship patterns to career procrastination, she breaks down the messy middle between wanting more and being ready to receive it. If you’ve ever pushed away peace because it felt “off,” this one’s for you.

Outgrowing yourself sounds empowering… until you're in the middle of it wondering who the hell you even are anymore. In this episode, I’m breaking down the uncomfortable, sometimes embarrassing process of shedding past versions of yourself, (the ones you may not even like anymore) but still weirdly miss. From cringing at old TikToks to mourning toxic coping habits like bed rotting and isolation, I get real about the identity shift that comes with major life changes, especially motherhood. We’re talking grief, discomfort, and the quiet ways comfort zones keep you stuck in lives you no longer want. If you’re caught between who you were and who you’re trying to become, this one’s for you.

We can’t always choose what we inherit—but we can choose what we do with it.
In this episode, Bria opens up about inheriting depression and what it’s like living with the weight of mental health struggles that didn’t start with her… but could end with her. Instead of falling into victim mode, she talks about doing the unsexy, preventative work to keep herself mentally afloat.
It’s not glamorous. It’s not always inspiring. But it’s real. And if depression runs in your family, this one might hit deeper than you expect.

Spoiler: my birth didn’t go the “traditional” route — and that was the plan.
In this episode, I’m sharing the story of my birth story- what led me to make that decision, how it felt, and what it taught me about trusting my body in a world full of opinions. No drama, no guilt — just intuition, a little anesthesia, and a whole lot of clarity.
Whether you pushed, were induced, had a home birth, a hospital birth, a surprise c-section, or anything in between — this episode is for every mom who made the best call she could with the body, brain, and baby she had.
Because birth isn’t about proving anything. It’s about owning your power — even when no one’s clapping.Spoiler: my birth didn’t go the “traditional” route — and that was the plan.

What do you do when you find out your entire family history isn’t what you thought? In this episode, I sit down with my dad, Carlos Jones who discovered later in life that the man he called “dad” wasn’t actually his biological father. No DNA test, no big reveal—just a truth that had been hidden for decades.
We get into the shock, the betrayal, and the mental gymnastics of rewriting your identity as an adult. How do you process something like this? Can you ever fully forgive? And what happens when the truth forces you to see your past—and your parents—in a whole new light?
This one’s personal, raw, and a reality check for anyone who thinks they know everything about where they come from. Press play—because sometimes, the truth finds you whether you’re ready or not.
