Even a little static couldn't stop this one. The mic tried to play but the cocktale was too good not to sip! In this episode, Brandi is flying solo and sharing the ten lessons this summer taught her about boundaries, joy, friendships, faith, and standing on business no matter who is watching. From learning that you have to give yourself something to look forward to, to realizing not everyone deserves front-row seats to your life, this is a mix of wit, truth, and real-life gems you can sip on long after summer fades. The laughs are plentiful, the honesty is turned all the way up, and yes, you might catch a little microphone static trying to join the conversation. But when the message hits, nothing else matters. Grab your drink and press play, because this one is unfiltered in the best way.

In this episode of Cocktales with Brandi we’re raising a glass to the wild ride that is your late 20s and the first sips of your 30s. I’m joined by my girl Haley Reading who’s wrapping up her 20s while I just closed out my rookie year in the 30s club. We’re talking lessons we didn’t ask for, the things we thought we’d have figured out by now (spoiler alert: we don’t), and those moments that still make us cringe.

In honor of my 31st birthday, this conversation took a real and reflective turn. We laughed, we sipped, and we both opened up about things we’ve been holding close. It’s raw, it’s honest, and it reminded us just how much power there is in saying the quiet things out loud. You don’t have to be in your 20s or 30s to sip on this cocktale. If you’ve ever been in a season of growing through what you’re going through, this one’s for you.
