Hey there, I’m Briana (Bri) a millennial mom raising two boys, Will and Henry, in Houston, TX. I share life with my husband, Brandon, and our 14‑year‑old Bichon, Nina, who still runs the house like she’s a puppy.
My lifelong dream was to work in sports, and I started my career doing PR and marketing for NASCAR, helping bring new fans into the sport. After a few seasons of living out of a suitcase, I realized the pace wasn’t sustainable long‑term and made the jump into FinTech. I’ve spent more than a decade building operational processes for product teams across the industry.
When my first baby was born in the middle of the pandemic, I started writing just to make sense of everything — the career pressure, the identity shift, the long days at home. What began as notes in my phone slowly grew into Modern Motherhood Musings.
When I’m not writing, you can usually find me with a book in hand (historical fiction, rom‑coms, thrillers — I’m not picky), in the kitchen trying a new recipe, or showing up in my community. From our civic club and neighborhood church to my kids’ school and our local Democrat club, I love being connected to the people and places that shape our everyday life.
Modern Motherhood Musings will arrive to your inbox every Friday morning. Each week, I share an honest reflection on motherhood, and things bringing me joy - like what I’m reading, recipes I’m cooking, or skincare I’m loving.
My hope is that through this community, and by sharing our stories, we can all feel a little less alone.
I love to get to know the women (and men) reading this publication. If you’re up for it, jump into the chat and introduce yourself.
Tell me a little bit about who you are, where you’re reading from, and what’s currently bringing you joy!
I’m also always available via email. I’m so glad you’re here!
