Welcome to the Women Who Shine Brightly Series - a group of amazing women who brighten my life and the world.

#4 - Brittany Jade Anthony

Today’s guest is a dynamo! Sometimes NSFW but always lively and making the very most of each and everyday! She’s beaten odds that would put Vegas out of business and is proof that as long as you’re alive than you should be living life at full tilt!

Meet Brittany!

You are the mother of three, including two little ones. You gave up the corporate world and started a business, plus you are on social media a great deal sharing inspiration. Share a little about your life.

What is your current career path?

Presently, my career path features building and growing my custom tumbler making business. I enjoy using my hands to create art. It has been through this cup making biz (TNZ Designs ) that I have found success in bringing in an additional income. My plan is to continue growing in that area. I am also heavily committed to my personal brand in the social media world where I hope to continue sharing my message of strength, redemption, and hope to help change lives and inspire women to overcome any obstacle towards their best life. If I could make a solid career out of these two worlds I would be an incredibly happy woman!

How has that been influenced by your family life?

After having my second son I realized that the "baby stage" goes by entirely too quickly and I really wanted to soak it all in since this may very well be my last baby. It's due to my family that I decided to hang up my work badge for good and find a way to stay home with my babies.

I have told you many times how deeply proud of and inspired by you and your honesty with your recovery journey. What inspired you to share your story?

There is healing in sharing. There is beauty in opening up and being vulnerable about events in your life that many people would perceive as shameful.

Our secrets keep us sick as we like to say in the recovery world and I wanted a space on a public platform to not only share my story but to be a safe place for other women to share their struggles with substances and alcohol.

I’ve had the pleasure of speaking with women from all over the country about their guilt and shame in motherhood due to their secret use. I’ve also had the pleasure of witnessing women get clean and sober and turn into thriving women and members of society.

I hope that in sharing, I can touch just one person and help them get on the right path to recovery and freedom.

I’m pretty sure you guys can see why I love her!
🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

Has there been a downside to sharing?

Honestly, there hasn't! I am so grateful to have never received a comment that rubbed me the wrong way. People usually receive my message well.

What have been the benefits?

Helping others. Helping myself. Being a resource to others. Providing another mom with the storyline that if I can do it, they can do it too!

If I can do it, they can do it too!

What are your long term goals both personally and professionally?

Long term personal goals are to get in the best physical and emotional shape of my life. I would love to compete in a bodybuilding competition someday! (Yes!!!!)

Professionally I would love to build a profitable 6 figure business doing what I love and sharing inspiring messages with women. I want to travel the world with my kids, have financial freedom and just enjoy life.

Anything to add? Any advice to share?

Remember that blowing out another womans candle won’t make your shine any brighter! That community should always be valued over competition and trust your gut, it will never lead you astray!

How did you meet Traci?

I met Traci through Social Mamas Tribe — an online group of women bloggers on a mission to level up in their social media businesses. I have had such an amazing opportunity to get to know and love Traci for the kind sweet hearted woman that se is and I truly appreciate her kindness and friendship

Back at you, Britt! You have made my life brighter!
