Betting on Yourself: Corporate Exit, Multi-Passion Power & Building Without Permission
She came into the Bizz Bitch room as a stranger and left as a woman everyone couldn't stop talking about. Today, Jazmin sits down with Brandee Joyner — Renaissance woman, domestic violence survivor, women's sports marketing powerhouse, baker, mother, and someone the universe is clearly not done with yet.
This one goes deep. Real deep. We're talking domestic violence, sexual assault, grief, coming out at 39, raising a queer family with zero apologies, and why Black women are done being strong for everyone else and finally choosing the soft life.
Oh, and women's sports. And cupcakes. Because that's how Brandee rolls.
Key Topics:
* Surviving domestic violence and turning pain into purpose
* Navigating entrepreneurship as a single Black mother
* The magazine, the talk show, the football team — her multi-passionate journey
* Coming out at 39 and living unapologetically
* Why women in sports are underpaid, overlooked, and fighting back
* Grief, generational loss, and finding yourself after losing your anchors
Episode Highlights:
* Brandee shares how being a domestic violence survivor in her 20s became the foundation of her entire platform and advocacy work
* She opens up about dimming her own light for three years — and how the universe stripped everything away to make her claim it back
* The story of coming out at 39, telling her son, and his iconic response about Disneyland
* Why she built a marketing agency exclusively for women in sports — and why that seat at the table matters
* How grief shaped her identity, her entrepreneurship, and her relationship with her dad's memory
* The bougie hotel laptop trick she and Jazmin both swear by for manifesting abundance
