We can’t always choose what we inherit—but we can choose what we do with it.

In this episode, Bria opens up about inheriting depression and what it’s like living with the weight of mental health struggles that didn’t start with her… but could end with her. Instead of falling into victim mode, she talks about doing the unsexy, preventative work to keep herself mentally afloat.

It’s not glamorous. It’s not always inspiring. But it’s real. And if depression runs in your family, this one might hit deeper than you expect.

Spoiler: my birth didn’t go the “traditional” route — and that was the plan.

In this episode, I’m sharing the story of my birth story- what led me to make that decision, how it felt, and what it taught me about trusting my body in a world full of opinions. No drama, no guilt — just intuition, a little anesthesia, and a whole lot of clarity.

Whether you pushed, were induced, had a home birth, a hospital birth, a surprise c-section, or anything in between — this episode is for every mom who made the best call she could with the body, brain, and baby she had.

Because birth isn’t about proving anything. It’s about owning your power — even when no one’s clapping.Spoiler: my birth didn’t go the “traditional” route — and that was the plan.

Why is it so hard for women to get real answers about their health? In this episode of Because I Love You, host Bria Jones sits down with Corinne Foxx to have an unfiltered conversation about navigating women’s healthcare in a system that constantly dismisses, misdiagnoses, and gaslights us.

From painful symptoms being brushed off as "normal" to doctors blaming everything on stress, we’re breaking down the real struggles women face when trying to advocate for their own bodies. Corinne shares her personal experiences, the hard lessons she’s learned, and why self-advocacy is non-negotiable when it comes to your health.

If you’ve ever felt ignored, misunderstood, or straight-up crazy for knowing something was wrong—this episode is for you. It’s time to stop apologizing for demanding the care you deserve. Press play and let’s talk about it.

What do you do when you find out your entire family history isn’t what you thought? In this episode, I sit down with my dad, Carlos Jones who discovered later in life that the man he called “dad” wasn’t actually his biological father. No DNA test, no big reveal—just a truth that had been hidden for decades.

We get into the shock, the betrayal, and the mental gymnastics of rewriting your identity as an adult. How do you process something like this? Can you ever fully forgive? And what happens when the truth forces you to see your past—and your parents—in a whole new light?

This one’s personal, raw, and a reality check for anyone who thinks they know everything about where they come from. Press play—because sometimes, the truth finds you whether you’re ready or not.
