When life feels like it’s burning down around you, it’s easy to mistake the fire for failure. But what if it’s actually transformation? 🔥

In this Halloween season premiere of Cut the BS, Build the Dream, Brittney explores what it really means to rise from the ashes. You’ll learn how to rebuild confidence in the middle of chaos — using science, self-awareness, and steady action to rewire your brain for calm and courage.

This episode dives into the truth about burnout, the biology of confidence, and how to turn breakdowns into breakthroughs. Because the Phoenix doesn’t fear the flames — she uses them to fly. 🖤

Ever lost an entire hour to TikTok and come back wondering what year it was? Yeah, me too. The truth is—we all waste way more time than we admit. That’s why in this episode of Cut the BS, Build the Dream, I’m breaking down time blocking—the unsexy but wildly effective way to get your life back.

We’ll talk about:
✅ Why multitasking is a scam your brain falls for every time
✅ How to decide between competing priorities (portfolio, business, sales—oh my!)
✅ The 80/20 rule and why “less is more” isn’t just Pinterest fluff
✅ The pitfalls of time blocking (yes, there are traps, and yes, you’re probably doing them)
✅ And how an Italian guy with a tomato-shaped kitchen timer might just save your productivity

If you’re tired of saying, “I’ll do it later” and realizing “later” never comes—this one’s for you.

Because if you don’t block your time, Netflix, TikTok, and everyone else’s emergencies will.

Most people spend their whole lives flapping in chaos — reacting to every crisis, chasing every distraction, stuck in the trenches where the view is blocked. But vultures? They soar higher than any bird on Earth, riding thermals to 37,000 feet where the noise disappears and the vision becomes clear.

In this episode, Brittney Kosev takes you to the top of Enchanted Rock on a sweltering Texas evening to show you what these misunderstood birds can teach about endurance, patience, strategic stillness, cleaning up messes, and leading with perspective. You’ll meet real people who lived with “vulture altitude” — from Nelson Mandela to Serena Williams — and discover how to apply their mindset to your life and business.

If you’re ready to rise above the noise and see the whole field, this is your blueprint.

In this episode, Brittney Kosev breaks down what real resilience looks like: it’s not bouncing back to who you were, it’s growing into who you need to become.
