Brie: In My Soft Girl Era
00:34:46
On this episode of The Nikki & Brie Show, it’s just Brie—and she’s soft, centered, and stepping fully into her Soft Girl Era. After a heart-to-heart with her hairstylist, Brie was introduced to a trending term she’d never heard before... and now she’s absolutely obsessed. From learning what it means to live softer and slower, to finding beauty in boundaries and joy in the simple things, Brie takes us on her personal journey from burnout to balance. She reflects on her days of wrestling, hustling, and chasing momentum—compared to now, where long mornings, laughter with her kids, and time in her garden feel like the new definition of success. This episode is full of wisdom on embracing femininity, setting limits without guilt, and letting go of the pressure to always be in grind mode. It’s about romanticizing your own life—even in the chaos—and allowing yourself to soften without feeling like you’re giving up. Whether you’re in your Soft Girl Era or simply ready to slow down and re...

Start your vacation@visitdenver.com Discover hey everyone, welcome back to another episode of the Nikki and Bri show. And yes, it is a solo episode by moi. I'm actually really excited for today's episode because it's really been sitting on me in the last 24 hours. So 24 hours ago let's pretend it's like a TV show and they're like 24 hours earlier so 24 hours ago I was getting my hair done, my girl Jamie, she's in Winners and I'll always go dry drive and see her and so wanted to get the grays a little fresh trim and we were chit chatting. No one was in the hair salon so it's always really fun when her and I can catch up without anyone being around and just totally open and honest. And we were chatting and she brought up to me like well you know like you and your soft girl era and I'm like in my what? And she's like soft girl era. She's like I Mean, it's a beautiful place that women have found themselves in the last couple years, getting out of that hustle era into their Soft Girl era. And I was like, jamie, I have never heard of Soft Girl Era. And she was like, brie, you're living yours. And I was like, oh, my gosh. And I'm sure a lot of you listening right now are like, brie, where have you been? And I have to say, I suck at trends. I never know, like, who's the latest artist or hippest actor. I don't. I feel like I don't know anything anymore. It's, like, crazy. So, yeah, 24 hours ago, I found out about Soft Girl Era. And I have to tell you, I was. I was blown by this. So I was like, jamie, you got to tell me everything. What is Soft Girl Era? So she started to go in on it, and I was like, okay, when I get home tonight, I am doing, like, a deep search into this, because this would be an amazing solo episode to do. So for any of you who are like me, and we live under rocks and in caves, we have no idea what's going on. This is what Soft Girl Era is. It is when you step into that era of emotional openness, gentle routines, saying no more often being in nature, Longer mornings, barefoot walks, crying without shame. No more people pleasing, living intentionally, seeing our worth, Seeing your worth. Loving deeply, caring for others, seeking happiness and peace, and choosing rest over grind. Hell, yeah. I was like, that is the era I'm living in, and I love that. It's called Soft Girl Era. So when I was talking to Jamie about this and I told her, I'm like, jamie, I'm shouting you out, and I'm gonna let everyone know our conversation. I feel like that's been my whole life, the last couple decades. I don't hold back, and I'm always just really real honest and open, especially here on the podcast. But I was asking her, well, what's interesting to me is Soft Girl Era, you know, a time where I feel like a lot of us, we are burnt out, we're exhausted. We feel like we're doing so much, but what are we doing? It's almost like you're confused. Like, there's times where I've had days and not so much anymore, but I used to where I was like, I did so much today, but I don't even know what I did. You're like, I didn't sit down. I felt busy all day. But you're almost like when someone asked you, like, hey, how's your day? You're, like, busy. And they're like, what'd you do? You're almost like, I don't know. What did I do? I swear I did a lot, but I felt like I was running on empty. Like, all those feelings. And it. I love the fact that now people. And it's. You know, there was a time hustling was, like, the thing where we all were like, if we're not doing too much, we're doing nothing at all. And. And there was a time for that. And it was almost inspiring to see all these women balancing, like, a bunch of different careers, hobbies, motherhood, doing it all. And you almost were like, I gotta be that woman. But. But I'm loving the era that we're all feeling now. The. Really the era we all know we need. And is that stillness, the. The rest healing ourselves? I mean, do not tease me with a long morning. That's what I love about summertime with my kids, is long mornings. And it's not even about having a bunch of coffee. I still just do my one cup. But it's that slow. We're in our PJs till 10am morning. But I was asking Jamie, I. I'm like, when did this become a trend? Like, I mean, I thought just stepping into my 40s kind of softened me up in a way. I mean, it made me stronger in the sense I stood up for myself more. But it definitely made me softer in the terms that you guys say, soft girl era of slowing down. So it was really interesting because we started to talk about it, and she's like, obviously, you're stepping into ending the hustle and enjoying life more at a slower pace. But she was like, but there's a difference between rest and doing nothing that will heal you and make you enjoy life more than that feeling of resting and almost doing nothing. To where you're like, wait, am I depressed? Am I bored? Am I like, have, you know, like, nothing going on in life? There is definitely two feelings. And I was like, well, how do you know, like, you're living your soft girl era, or you feel like you're giving up in a way. And so we talked about it, and she's like, I do feel like you have to dig deep. Like, you know, when you're not giving up, you know, when you've made the decision and you hold the power that you're like, I actually don't have to do that, and I'm gonna have boundaries. And I actually don't even have to tell You. I have boundaries. This is just how I'm gonna live my life. And if people aren't okay with it, then they're not. Compared to. I'm laying in bed all day feeling, you know, like I can't get out because I'm something heavy. Makes me feel like I need to stay in here. Or anxiety. I mean, just depression, those different things, and I'm there. So I had to, like, get that clarified, because for someone like me who's a thinker and can get deep, I want to know, like, soft girl era. There's a difference, right? Between, like, I guess what I do is I wake up and I can't wait to garden and pick flowers and, you know, run with my kids. And even though it's a slow morning, it's still there's life being lived. And so her and I, we were getting into it, and she was like, bri, listen. It celebrates femininity, self care, intentional living. And so that word, intentional, I was like, see, that's what I love is intentional living, to me is that part of us that feels like purpose in our life. And usually purpose comes with, like, you know, what brings you the most bliss. And when I think of it for myself, it's family, it's friends, it's laughter, it's obviously, you know, success. But, you know, how we measure success is different for everyone. And for me, it definitely, you know, is being with my family more. And maybe that's because I've lived decades where I was on a grind, traveling the world away from friends and family, missing everyone's wedding and special occasions. Christmas was, you know, I'd either make it or I wouldn't. I never knew. So I guess for me, success is like, I'm at a point in my life where I'm like, whoa. I make Christmases. I get a host Thanksgiving. I'm with my family more than I'm not. And so for me, that's success. But I was just like, wow, Jamie. I'm like, you know, I look at my life, I. And I'm like, I'm in my soft girl era, which feels like one of the greatest eras I've actually really lived. And I've done some really amazing things, but this one feels like the great one. Hey, everyone. If you've been listening to the show the past few weeks, you've all heard us talking about the Airbnb original experience we hosted at our speakeasy tasting room. Bonita. Bonita. And let me tell you, we had so much fun.
- [11:13]
B
Oh, my goodness. So much Fun. So, okay, we all were at, as Bri said, the Bonita Bonita tasting room.
- [11:19]
A
Speak Easy.
- [11:20]
B
And it was so fun because everyone who was a part of the Airbnb Original Experience group started in a private tasting room where with Brie and I, well, of course we greeted everyone with some champagne, but it was really fun because we all sat into the tasting together and we just chatted. We tasted Bonita Bonita. And then of course, our next special treat that made it so original and such a fun experience was Bri and I recorded an episode of the Nikki and Bri show live for all of them, which, if you haven't seen on YouTube, you can see it on YouTube. So literally, Bri and I are just doing a normal episode, but. But we have them set up beautifully right in front of us. And of course, we kept the Bonita Bonita pouring. And you know what I really love about it is if you go listen or watch that episode, you get to hear all the laughs and you just realize, like, how interactive it is. And it was just so much fun. I. It felt like a live show for one.

Grab Kleenex. And so I went on Instagram and I wrote in soft girl era. And millions of accounts and videos and inspirational sayings all just, like, flooded in. And I absolutely loved watching these different reels of. Mainly, it was women living their soft girl era. And for someone like me, I'm seeing a lot of people in nature. I'm seeing them plant gardens, walking amongst the trees, delicately touching wildflowers. They're holding hands with a loved one with sunshine on their face. There was, like, such a beauty to this whole thing. I'm. I'm looking at, I'm reading what people are writing. This is my soft girl era. And they wrote, like, feeling happiness, saying, no. You know, someone else was like, gosh, writing about, like, how even though they're considered softer, they feel stronger. And why is. Because they realized being strong doesn't mean being over exhausted and physically strong and being a little rough. No, it means that I feel strong, that I found the power, that I'm doing what I love, and it means not doing so much. And so I was like, this is. There is so much beauty to it. And I think sometimes when I'm on social media, I can get a little negative of, like, seeing things that make me sad or bother me or whatever it may be. This made me feel so enlightened, and it gave me this, like, inspiration and hope. I'm like, wow, like, a lot of people feel the way like I feel, and there's so much beauty to this. And, you know, I thought to myself, if I could talk to all those people who have these accounts and making these videos, I would love to know how they made the shift, because I know how I did my shift. I, you know, it was always hard. And I. I've been honest. I think even, you know, on the reality to. On the podcast, like, you know, when I. Being a pro wrestler and then a reality star and then becoming a mom, finding that identity was hard. I didn't know, like, how do I be the old Bri, Mix it with the new Brie. But, like, it was hard to lose baby weight. It was hard for me to keep up with all the girls. I wanted to be an excellent mother and a wife, but I didn't want to lose my momentum in the game. But I did. But, you know, it was interesting. My 30s were definitely figuring out more identity, but towards the end of my 30s, I feel like I started to do this shift into my soft girl era and, and let me, you know, 2020 actually kind of Kicked my ass into it, that's for sure. It really pushed me into living more that era of my life. But it was interesting because I feel like everyone always kind of saw what I loved, which was nature being, you know, in a more slow paced life. But I feel like maybe in the last year you guys have visually really seen the shift. But asking, I would love to ask other people, like, how did you make the shift? Because okay with me, my friends and family, they know who I am. And honestly, if I feel like all of you had to describe Nikki and I each in three words, you would say, a lot of you would say about me, nature, garden lover, you know, like, it loves flowers like you. I, I kind of feel like would sound like soft girl era, right? But for people who might not be any of those things and want to shift into this soft girl era, how do you do it? Like, how do you make the shift? I mean, that's like shedding your old identity and gaining a new one. And I think it's actually kind of fun to, to think about. And you know, we always talk about journaling and I think this is where journaling really is important because I would write down what is my soft girl era look like? And bullet point it. What does it look like? What do you want it to look like? And then kind of be like, how do I do the shift? And if I do this shift, what will my friends and family think? And kind of visualize like that new life. But I'll be honest when I if you write soft girl era into Instagram, and I'm sure tick tock too, anywhere when you see people's faces and what they're posting and how they're living, it looks nice. It's like whether it's fake or not, I don't know. There's a lot of beauty to it. I feel people feeling better. I feel the happiness. I feel that the like, not as much anxiety, no keeping up. It's like all of that goes like no one's worried about the next trend. Even though I guess we could say it is a trend. But it just seems like there's this slowness, this peacefulness, and everyone's like cheering it on. So I encourage all of you to just try it, figure it out. Especially for any of you who feel exhausted, who feel burnt out, I would suggest that even if you're a mom and you're like, I got kids, I got a full time job, like, there's no soft girl era happening. But maybe, maybe there is. And maybe in those Little moments that you get to yourself, maybe instead of scrolling or instead of being like, I need to get to the gym or I need to do this or that, like, really think of, like, relaxing, brewing tea. I don't know. It doesn't even have to be reading for people who don't want to read, that's hard to do. It's just napping instead of scrolling. Nap. And so, you know, someone like me, two kids, you can look at me and see my career and how I am. I've definitely had roadblocks. And I think what's important, especially when I look at this soft girl era, is to look at your roadblocks. And for some people who don't have kids, your roadblocks can be different. It might be something happening at your work or family situation or living situation or finances, whatever it is. You know, for me, I look at time, time I like to spend. So my kids and my husband come first. And then I start to bullet everything after how I put my schedule together, like what I want out of life. And I call them roadblocks. Because sometimes it's like, oh, I wish everything would just be perfectly like this. But life is not perfect, and no one's going to listen to your perfect, wishful schedule. So something I've really done in the last, I would say year is the importance of my roadblocks and the signs that they give me. Nikki, life can get really busy.
- [21:05]
B
Really busy. I mean, I would say it's been busy for all of us.
- [21:08]
A
I know. And sometimes we just need to take a breather, sit down, and ask ourselves one very important question.
- [21:15]
B
What's that, Bri?
- [21:16]
A

- [21:32]
A
Whether you're eating it on the go, breaking off a few pieces for s' mores night, or treating yourself to something sweet, Hershey's milk chocolate checks all the boxes.
- [21:42]
B
It sure does. You want to know what one of my favorite moments with Hershey's chocolate is? Teo And I like. I love it. Because you know me, I'm chocolate lover. But now I have a son who's a chocolate lover, so we slip bars all the time. It's just such a moment for us, a very happy moment. We look at each other, he always ends up getting chocolate all over his face. But it's just such a sweet moment that I find myself always reaching for a Hershey bar.
- [22:08]
A
Always. I mean, we love making s' mores in my family. So every time I bust out a Hershey bar, my kids start screaming with excitement. They know it's about to be s' more time. So for all of you, shop for Hershey's milk chocolate now at a store.

- [23:20]
A
For example. Let's just be open. As of late, there's been what I can kind of consider a roadblock, but it's also a good sign. And that's where I make a joke. Because when I've been on red carpets or in interviews, there's one question I constantly get asked, and it is, when will you. When will we see you back in the ring? As if I have that power. And I always make a joke because when I'm in interviews, I don't want to ever answer something serious because usually it's a quick question and they need a quick answer. So I have constantly made the joke. Oh, waiting on the call. Which in some ways can be true. And in some ways, I'm just saying something cheeky and sweet so I can get on to the next question. But what I wanted to bring up because I feel like, okay, like something that's important in these solo episodes is to really open up to all of you, what I'm going through so it can help some of you. But when I look at that, I. I know my roadblock is the fact my husband is with the rival company. And, you know, for some people, it makes them uncomfortable at WWE thinking I would be there when my husband's with aew. And you know what? That's okay. I've Kind of looked at that roadblock as people have the right to feel. If people feel uncomfortable, they're uncomfortable, and that's okay. They have that right. Does it bum me out at times that I wish their feelings were different? Absolutely. But it doesn't make me angry, and it doesn't make me bitter. It makes me be like that. Right? There is a sign that I'm supposed to be staying in my soft girl era, that when I was thinking about my summer, all I wanted was to have July off. It's like I manifested. It's like the angels heard, and they gave it to me. And I look at these signs, and I. I know I'm living my purpose because I'm so open to what my purpose is and needs to be. And, like, I launched this YouTube channel. Hi, my name is Bri. And it was something that I kept sitting on and sitting on, and it's what I'm so passionate about in my life, and it launches. And I honestly wasn't expecting it to do as well as it's doing because I didn't know. I'm like, do people care? Do they Whatever. But it's doing so well. And I think it's because you see me in my life right now, in my soft girl era of planting flowers and planting fruits and vegetables, giving them to my people, you know, who come into my tasting room. Like, it goes on. And so when. Constantly people are like, when's Brie coming back? When's Brie coming back to wrestling? You know, guys might not be in my era right now. And, you know, and that is okay, because I feel like we in life have to look at our roadblocks, and we can be quick to think, like, oh, man. And the negativity of it, but there might be a beauty to it, and we have to look at those. And really. And this is why I love journaling, because I write things down, like what I feel, and I sit on it, and I'm like, you know what? It's actually not meant to be. And that is okay, because what. How I'm living now and where I'm at, this is where I've wanted to be. I just think I have fun and make jokes and interviews because I get asked the same questions. So I'm just the type of person to just throw out kind of the same answer and disregard it. But then it gets blown up into something bigger, and I'm like, okay, I don't think that's the identity I want right now. I don't think it's the air I'm in. And so when we talk about this soft girl era and intentional living, I do think it's important for me to even say, like, I'm in my soft girl era, and I love it, and I'm starting to share it with all of you, and that makes me feel so good. And when I looked up soft girl era on social media, I literally was beaming, was so much happiness and light because I'm like, there's millions of me out there. We're all living the same, wanting the same thing. I mean, I was even giggling when it's like, less makeup, softer clothes. Like, someone was like, you wear your florals, you wear something comfy. I am like, how did I not know about this? You know? And. And so I love that 24 hours ago, my whole, like, eyes were open to something, but it made me literally think about a lot. I was actually. It took me a while to go to sleep last night. I. I was literally laying in the dark with my eyes open, just thinking, and I'm like, you know, I think sometimes, you know, we think we should be living a certain way or take this opportunity or maybe be doing this because people start to push you and encourage. Then I was like, but I. I feel really good in what I'm doing, and I think there might be reasons I'm not getting the call or reasons that I. I'm in the era that's making me so happy. And it's not because anyone has the power, control. It's not that. It's because what's meant to be is meant to be. And what I'm doing now in my life is what I should be doing. It's. You know, I'm spiritual, so I believe, like, the paths we walk, the purpose we have and what we bring to this world, like, we all meant to bring something. I believe in that and whatever way I can share that. I. I want to, because I feel like, you know, from the wrestling ring to reality television to the podcast to YouTube to even my social platforms, I feel like, you know, like, okay, I have to give this, because this is my purpose, just like all of you. And I've said this before, you can have 10 million followers. You can have 10 followers. You will touch someone in some way. And I pray it's in light and not darkness, because darkness can hit people, too. And that's what we do not want to do. But it was interesting because this morning, my. So I love the real. Real. I don't know about you guys. I'm big on let's try to buy used and the whole thing. So my girl, she came, she got some clothes and we were chit chatting and I was like, what have you been up to? And she's like, actually just got back from camping. And I was like, really? You? I was shocked. I didn't know she liked camping, but she said her and her family wanted to try it out. Not pink. I just was up all night thinking about this soft girl era and I'm talking to this adorable fashionista who is telling me she just got back from camping. And she said they did it rugged. Like she goes, it was not glamping, it was camping. And we learned a lot. But we as a family and she has a 9 year old and 11 year old, she goes as her and her and her husband, they go as a family. We needed it and we learned so much of what our family needs and where we're at. And I was like, well, what is it you guys learned? And she's like, how we all want to start our mornings even before school. Like how we said no phones in the morning. So we all wake up and we all have breakfast and we look at each other and we talk and, and we take the dog on a walk all together because the dog has to go on a walk. And it was always a one person job, but now it's our whole family. And I was like, that's amazing. And she's like, yeah. And we've been doing it and it's been incredible. And the kids, you know, always when you say something to kids at first they, they always push back. They always, it's always hard, right? Changing routine a little bit, adding something new. And then the kids are better than adults. They get it quick, they feel it quick and they love it. And I was telling her, I'm like, Paige, I love that. I think that's absolutely incredible. I told her like I told myself, I was like, I have to. When I wake up in the morning, I always tell myself, do not look at your phone. Just do not walk out there with the phone in your hand. Because I don't want the kids to see me first thing in the morning with the phone in my hand. So I never do. I leave it where I set it up and I make sure to go out and I see everyone make some breakfast, we chit chat, whatever, and then I'll get to my phone. Have you ever noticed how celebrities have brighter, wider looking eyes?

But I, you know, I think it's really wonderful to bring these things in. And whether it's with your family, with a loved one, with your friends, I think it's important. I think it's hard in a world where I'll admit the phone is with me all the time to the point. Like, sometimes Buddy's like, oh, is there something important on your phone? I'm like, no, I'm really looking just at Pinterest. But, you know, I. I feel like it's hard. And it's not our faults. We've been given this addiction we have, but I think it's important now to try to figure out how to live with it. I think we all were given it in a really fast way and we almost didn't think about what would come with it. No one told us, like, hey, you're going to get this phone with apps and you're going to get everything right at the palm of your hand. And be careful. Now they are, but, you know, so I think it's good now. And whether we call it our soft girl era, we call it whatever era we want at any age, I feel like it's important to be in it. And just hearing from my hairstylist to then, you know, my friend who's in the fashion world, it. I love that nature kind of was the founding of it all, you know, like, obviously you guys are no stranger to how I am when it comes to the environment and how I feel like it is important we protect it. But also I feel like I've never met anyone who has ever had anything negative to say about how they felt in nature or how it changed them. No one's ever said anything negative. And if they have, wow, that'd be shocking. But I've heard nothing but just, like, how it's transformed people, how it's made people feel. And like, what a beautiful feeling to feel like you let go and you don't feel the need to buy, spend money, have a lot. Like, what a world to live in that makes you feel, like, just have a little bit and just worry more about hanging out with family and friends. Like, what a great feeling to feel like I don't need to buy that, I don't need that. That doesn't give me status. It doesn't make me more powerful, you know. And so soft girl era, it's a great place to be. And if you need inspiration, there's so much. I recommend looking it up on any of the social platforms because you'll see what people are doing and it's really, really great. And remember, like, there's going to be roadblocks. There's going to be things that make you feel like you're not fully living your soft girl era. You're gonna have opportunities come that make you feel like you got to go on the hustle again, or there's just things where you feel like with finances, you might have to go in the hustle again. But this is where we can get creative. This is where you can sit back with your tea or your incent burning and, I don't know, classical music playing and really think how you can bring that in. So I just recommend to all of you to journal, to put together your soft girl era, what it looks like and what you want it to feel and to slow down. I know I've said it before, but it was so great to see how many people are enjoying the slowdown so just to really slow down and kind of just enjoy life. Enjoy the slow ride. Don't let it go fast. And before I close out, I'm going to leave you guys with little inspiration, affirmation. And I gotta grab it. I'm gonna grab it right now because it's a quote. So I looked through a lot of different people's reels and post about Soft girl era and this one really hit. So I'm gonna grab it real quick. I have to tell you, there was a lot I'm looking at now, all the stuff I screenshotted and I just love it. And this she had titled it it's soft girl season, which is cute too, right? Because you know, when you think of seasons, it's like every season brings something new or you shed something, you gain something. And just seasons of life is always like a thing that always stood out to me. So I love that you wrote that. It's Soft Girl Season. And this is by Herring, Herring and Glow. I really mess people's names up. But at H E R I N N E R G L O and this is what she wrote. No more acting tough and hiding how we feel. No more people pleasing. No more dimming our own light to make others feel more comfortable. We're in our soft girl season. We're living intentionally. We are seeing our worth. We finally know the value we bring to the table. We love and we care deeply for others at the capacity we know we can. This is our era. We're coming home to ourselves. I mean, that one got me. And I think I'm gonna print that out and put up on my mirror because I love it and I love. I love everything about it, but I love that I'm actually in mine. And that feels really good. And I want to remind myself that because 24 hours ago, I didn't realize I was in it. And I just figured I'm in my 40s and this is like how you are. No, I guess I intentionally put myself in my soft girl era. And it feels so good, you guys. And I just want to remind you that when people, they hear soft, sometimes they think weak. And soft does not mean weak. I actually think sometimes soft means power. Because to be soft and to be comfortable with that, you have to be powerful. And I. When I look at people, I've met people, and I'm like, wow, that person's so happy and at peace. Those people always enlighten me. And so I don't feel like they gave up because they're not on the hustle or the grind or loud and mouthy? No, to me, I feel like they chose something different. They chose a life that is more calm and there's more beauty and they see it. And so for all of you out there, get into your soft girl era. And even for you guys who listen, get in your soft boy era, I don't know. And just find the beauty in slowing down and choosing love over fear and softness over shame. Because honestly, there's power and peace and I've been learning to live that way and I'm living that way now. And I want all of you to live that way too. So I hope you enjoyed today's episode. I wanted to make it a little more concise and just short and sweet but powerful. And you know, I'm going to challenge all of you. Get those journals out. I love when you do. And start to manifest it, start to put it together. What does it look like? How can your identity shift? How will people accept the shift? And will you love that shift? I think you will.
