info_outlineIn this inspiring episode, Brittany Racine sits down with Jen Rote, boutique owner and creative force behind Brass & Oak, a beloved storefront in downtown Brighton. Jen didn’t wait for the “perfect moment” to chase her dream, she launched her business just eight weeks postpartum. No excuses. No guarantees. Just vision, guts, and hustle.
Jen opens up about what it really means to build something while being a new mom, managing burnout, showing up scared, and still choosing to go all in. This episode is a full-on permission slip to stop waiting for clarity, timing, or someone else’s approval and start building your dream now, right where you are. Jen's timing couldn't have been more inconvenient but she saw the opportunity and that a chance she might never get again.
We talk entrepreneurship, fashion, finding ways to sustain during slow seasons and running a business that’s rooted in connection, courage, and a whole lot of heart.
Topics We Cover:
• Opening a boutique as a new mom
• Real talk on business ownership & burnout
• Fashion, style, and personal confidence

• Mindset, manifestation, and taking risks
• Why failure isn’t failure when you try
• The myth of “perfect timing” and why the best time to start is now
At the core of Jen’s journey is something deeper than business: authenticity and compassion. Whether it’s a styled photoshoot or a quick conversation in the store with a stranger, every moment is a chance to pour into someone else. This episode is a love letter to realness, risk, and the quiet power of kindness even in the most unexpected places. Because when you lead with heart, the ripple is always bigger than you think.
