Brianna: From Publishing a Book at 7 to Burning Down a 10-Year Business — a Story of Unshakable Belief
Description
At seven years old, Brianna published her first book and dreamed of changing the world. But her path was far from easy. Bullied in school, battling an eating disorder, and starting a business at 16, she learned grit the hard way. Ten years later, after building a successful agency, she burnt it all down to rebuild life and business on her terms — and birthed Overflow, her global movement helping entrepreneurs scale their businesses while actually enjoying their lives.
In this episode, Brianna shares:
- How writing and publishing a book at 7 shaped her entrepreneurial mindset
- The harsh lessons of bullying, judgment, and proving herself in boardrooms at 16
- Why she walked away from a thriving 10-year business to build Overflow
- The mindset shifts and support systems that keep her grounded while growing
- Why so many entrepreneurs hit big milestones yet still feel empty — and how to stop that cycle.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re carrying the weight of your clients, your dreams, or your business alone, Brianna’s story will inspire you to believe again. This isn’t just about scaling a business. It’s about creating a life of happiness, health, freedom, and impact — a life of Overflow.
