Not everyone gets lucky enough to have the best sister-in-law ever — someone you can laugh with, vent to, and shamelessly overshare with. That’s where we come in. We’re Briana and Cambria Steel, two women in tech, and if it wasn't obvious, sisters-in-law. We may have been brought together by a man, but we sure as hell aren’t reliant on one. Think of us as your coven as we navigate life — the good, the messy, the meaningful, and all the cringe-worthy moments in between. Through honest conversations, we’ll share our different perspectives, learn and grow right alongside you, and dive into the topics that matter most — from finance and career to fashion, women’s health, and everything in between. At the heart of it, this is about expanding our knowledge, finding connection, and tackling the chaos of life while laughing the whole way through.
