Unmasked and Unbothered is a soft, honest space for women—especially single moms—who are done shrinking, code-switching, and settling. Hosted by Bri, a single mom, recovering people-pleaser, and unmasking autistic woman who’s choosing herself in real time, this podcast dives into what it really takes to build a peaceful, pleasure-filled life after survival mode.From navigating dating with an open heart and strong boundaries, to letting go of shame, to rebuilding self-trust—you’ll find raw reflections, confidence-boosting reminders, and permission to show up exactly as you are. We’re not chasing perfection here. We’re unlearning, reclaiming, and becoming the version of ourselves we were always meant to be.✨ New episodes when I have something real to say. ✨ Come as you are.
