We hear “women supporting women” everywhere, but what does that support actually look like when money, business, competition and opportunity enter the picture?
Brit and Jen are talking about the side of female support that gets a little more complicated. We get into jealousy, referrals, networking cliques, mentorship, gatekeeping and whether we’re actually opening doors for other women.
We also look at our own behaviour. Are we recommending women when they aren’t in the room? Are we making introductions? Are we welcoming new people into our circles? And are we willing to support someone even when she might technically be our competition?
This episode is candid, a little spicy and probably going to make you think about a few relationships differently.
Because liking someone’s Instagram post is nice. Referring her for the opportunity hits a little different.

Q4 has a funny way of sneaking up on business owners. One minute it’s summer, and the next you’re staring down Black Friday, holiday campaigns, year-end goals and wondering when exactly you were supposed to plan for all of this.
In this episode of Ambition After Hours, Brittini puts on her marketer hat and talks through how business owners should be thinking about Q4 before it arrives.
We’re looking at what worked earlier in the year, where your marketing dollars should be going, what you should start planning now, and how to make smarter decisions heading into one of the busiest parts of the year.
This isn’t a step-by-step marketing strategy. It’s a strategic check-in to get you asking better questions about where your business is going and what your marketing needs to do to help get it there.
If Q4 usually catches you scrambling, start here.

Summer is supposed to be all sunshine, patios, road trips and romanticizing your life… until someone starts clipping their nails in public.
This week on Ambition After Hours, Brittini and Jen are taking a break from business talk to air out some of the pet peeves that make them question other people's decision-making.
Public grooming. Speakerphone conversations nobody asked to be part of. And all the little things people do that probably shouldn't bother us this much… but absolutely do.
It's light, a little unhinged and mostly just two friends laughing about the things we all notice but don't always say out loud.
Listen in, laugh with us, and then tell us: what's the pet peeve that instantly gets under your skin?

In this episode of Ambition After Hours, Brittini and Jen get real about rest, burnout, and why so many high-achievers struggle to slow down. For entrepreneurs and driven women, rest can feel uncomfortable, unearned, or even lazy, but the truth is it might be the missing piece to better energy, sharper thinking, and a happier life.
They unpack their very different views on relaxing, the guilt that can come with doing nothing, and how hustle culture has trained so many of us to tie our worth to productivity. Expect honest conversation, laughs, and a reminder that rest is not a reward you earn after breaking yourself.
If you’ve ever felt bad for taking a break, this one is for you.

Meet Jennifer 

Meet Jenifer – The Money Mind Behind the Mic

Jenifer is the kind of person who actually likes numbers (yeah, we don’t get it either), but that’s what makes her a total badass in business. She’s been helping companies get their finances in check for years—turning chaos into clarity and making sure business owners actually understand where their money’s going. But let’s be real, she’s not here to tell you that running a business is all sunshine and passive income. It’s tough, and she gets it.

Jen knows the late nights, the stress, the “why did I even start this?” moments. But she also knows the wins, the breakthroughs, and the power of a solid financial plan (even if spreadsheets aren’t your thing). She’s here to talk about the real stuff—money, business, and all the messy moments in between—with a no-BS approach and just the right amount of sarcasm.

On Ambition After Hours, expect Jen to drop some wisdom and light f-bombs, crack a few jokes, and keep things refreshingly real.

Meet Brittini

Meet Brittini – The Marketing Mind with a No B.S Approach

Brittini is the friend who will hype up your business and tell you when your branding needs a serious glow-up. As a marketer, she’s all about making businesses stand out—without the corporate jargon or cookie-cutter strategies. She knows that social media isn’t just about pretty posts, and marketing isn’t just about ads—it’s about connection, strategy, and a little bit of guts.

But let’s be honest—running a business isn’t always the dream Instagram makes it out to be. Brittini has been in the trenches, building brands, navigating the chaos, and figuring out what actually works (spoiler: there’s no magic formula, but consistency is pretty damn close). She’s here to talk about the real ups and downs of business, marketing that actually converts, and why showing up matters—even on the days you’d rather hide under a blanket.

On Ambition After Hours, expect Brittini to bring straight talk, smart strategy, and a few “I can’t believe that happened” business stories. No B.S, no nonsense—just real conversations about what it takes to make things happen.
