Hey there, Thrive Like a Parent community! 
In this raw and emotional episode, I'm opening up about my journey through grief, resilience, and unexpected joy. Year four since Jonathan's passing has been transformative - I won two incredible awards (Austin Under 40 and Austin Women's Magazine), discovered the power of community, and realized I'm the happiest I've ever been as a parent.
I'll share intimate moments of my healing process, from struggling through the first three years of widowhood to finding unexpected strength in baseball communities and personal connections. You'll hear about the magic of trusting the universe's timing and how healing isn't linear.
If you're navigating grief, parenting solo, or just need a dose of hope, this episode is for you. Remember, your journey is uniquely yours, and there's beauty in trusting the process.

EP:141 Hey THRIVE Community!  
It’s been four years since Jonathan passed. And in this episode, I’m bringing you into what healing has really looked like—not the polished version, but the real one.
From turning my home into a space that finally feels calm…to raising two kids alone…to building a business while still navigating grief—I’ve done a lot of rebuilding. And it hasn’t been linear.
I’m sharing:
What it felt like to film a vlog on the anniversary of Jonathan’s death
Why my Austin Under 40 nomination brought up way more than pride
My recent Prenuvo health scan (and why I did it for more than just information)
And how the team I’ve built at Thrive has helped me stay grounded—even when life still hits hard
This episode isn’t about having it all figured out.It’s about continuing to show up for your life—even when it breaks you open.I hope it reminds you: you’re allowed to take your time. And you don’t have to do it alone.
XOXO,Dr. B

EP:139 Hey Thrive Family!
Today's episode was FIRE! I sat down with the incredible Rachel Rodgers, and let me tell you, this conversation was packed with entrepreneurial gold! 
As a fellow business owner and mom, I was totally vibing with Rachel's journey from law school debt to building an eight-figure business. We dove deep into the power of understanding your strengths, showing up authentically on social media, and why having a supportive squad is crucial for success.
Rachel's new book "Future Millionaire" is a game-changer - especially for parents looking to teach their kids about money. Pro tip: We both agree that involving kids in financial conversations early is key!

EP:138 Hey there! I just finished watching the Netflix series "Adolescence" and WOW, do I have some thoughts to share! In this episode, I'm breaking down why this series is creating such a buzz and why I believe we're facing a PARENTING crisis, not just a boy crisis. I'm getting real about the importance of practical parenting - balancing boundaries with love and connection.
Key Takeaways:
Devices and unlimited freedom are NOT the answer
Your kids NEED structure (they actually want it!)
Boundaries aren't about controlling, they're about protecting
My personal story hits home - with a 50% higher risk of depression in my family, I can't afford to get parenting wrong. This isn't about being perfect, it's about being intentional.
