In our very first episode of Hot Tea with Umo and Bri, we’re spilling the tea on what it really looks like to build a career in sports nutrition and wellness... without a roadmap, without a blueprint, and definitely without perfect confidence.

We open up about starting our businesses in complete uncertainty, taking messy action, navigating motherhood, and battling the self-doubt that comes when you're the only one in the room who looks like you. From landing our first clients to reaching a breaking point that forced a major pivot, we share the moments that shaped us and the mindset shifts that kept us going.

Whether you’re a dietitian, an entrepreneur, or someone trying to find your voice in a space that wasn’t built for you, this episode is your reminder: you don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to begin.
