Your Brand of Beautiful with Bailie White
In this behind-the-scenes solo, I'm sharing a real-time look at starting our family’s newest business, The Tide & Table Collection. From luxury travel roots to short-term rental dreams, I'm unpacking the vision behind the brand, the meaning of its name, and the wild plot twist that's putting our Hilton Head condo on a brief pause just days after closing. It’s messy, unfiltered, and honest — because starting something new is never linear. I'm opening up about the hurdles, the mindset shifts that kept me grounded, and why your “messy middle” is not proof you’re failing…it’s...

In this solo episode, I’m sharing 20 things I’d tell my 20-year-old self—from career tips and baby timelines to dating, friendships, and finding your balance. Whether you're in your twenties, just came out of them, or find yourself starting fresh at any age, I hope this episode reminds you that you don’t have to have it all figured out. You can enjoy life where you are, dream big, learn along the way, and trust your next step—even when it’s uncertain. Some of these are heartfelt, some are practical, some are funny, and some might make you cry (looking at you, girlfriend poem at...

What if your “now” didn’t have to define your forever? In this candid conversation, I’m joined by my friend Jennifer Jacob — COO of Tique and founder of Explorateur Travel — to talk about the real-life pivots that helped her rebuild a beautiful life. From sewing curtains in a Tuscan farmhouse as a form of escapism to launching a thriving travel business after a painful divorce... to mentoring other women in her field and launching a second thriving company in the same industry, Jen’s story is full of resilience, exploration, and evolution. In this episode, we chat about: •...

In this solo episode, I’m sharing 5 real-life rhythms I’m leaning on right now to simplify life — from meal planning and date nights to slow mornings and protecting white space on my calendar. Whether you’re in back-to-school mode or just in a season that feels full, this is your permission slip to pause, rethink your routines, and make room for what actually matters. None of these tips are groundbreaking, but they’ve made a big difference in how grounded, steady, and connected I feel in this chapter — and I hope they help you too. Inside the episode: My Sunday meal planning...

In this episode, I’m sharing something I’ve been excited (and a little hesitant!) to bring to the podcast—an honest preview of the Your Brand of Beautiful Method: the 3-part framework I teach at retreats, sorority chapters, and conferences to help women stop spinning their wheels and start designing a life that actually feels like theirs. You’ll hear how this method was shaped not only by my own personal journey, but also by the common threads I’ve seen across countless conversations—with podcast guests, audiences I’ve spoken to, and women from all walks of life. If you’ve ever...

In this episode, I’m joined by my friend and attorney Paisley Piasecki — and y’all, this conversation is such a special one. We’re talking all about writing new chapters, navigating big transitions, and what it really looks like to build a life (and community) from scratch in a brand new city. Paisley shares her journey of leaving a high-powered law career in NYC, moving to Savannah, and founding the now-thriving networking group Square 25. We talk about following your gut, creating space to think, and the underrated power of finding your favorite coffee shop when you’re starting...

Hey friends + welcome to what will actually be the last conversation episode for the spring of 2025 + part 1 of what will now be a 2-part season of the Your Brand of Beautiful Podcast. This is a little bit of a change of plans but don’t worry, more updates on a solo-episode coming your way next week! This week, we’re chatting about a true underdog story with author, Mary Marantz.

Hey friends + welcome to another episode on the Your Brand of Beautiful Podcast! In case you're new, this is the podcast where we chat with women who have created their own unique version of a beautiful life, in hopes that their stories, life experiences, or insider tips might inspire others to do the same. This week, I got the chance to chat with Madeleine Raiford Holland about going from a Kitchen Table Breaking Point to a 7-Figure Family. Madeleine is the founder + CEO of MHM Luxury Properties, a 7 figure boutique Short Term Rental company. She’s also the founder & CEO of MRH...
info_outlineAs our guest says in this episode, "alcohol is going to going to play way too big of a role in our adult life to not have a conversation about it."
So, let's have a conversation about it!
Joining me today is Melanie Farrell of Tastefully Buzzed. Melanie is a speaker for college women and she delivers the dreaded alcohol presentation everyone is obligated to sit through -- only with Melanie, it's not a conversation you'll dread at all!
Melanie speaks from a place of knowing that no one wants another lecture that feels like a wrist-slap; instead, they want real, relatable, and actually encouraging content.
In our conversation, you'll begin by hearing Melanie's personal testimony to finding a relationship with Christ. My challenge for you as you listen is this: consider where you see yourself in her story.
Are you the girl in NEED of an uplifting friend, and maybe you need to be open to a “playground” change (you’ll hear what Melanie means by that later in this episode)...
OR are you someone who needs to shine your light to another girl who — maybe to be completely honest you’ve written her off as a lost cause?
In the second half of our conversation, we'll chat around what it means to live Tastefully Buzzed, how alcohol plays a huge role in our life and how to handle that. We're also just chatting about how to bring more vibrancy into your life and relationships!
All of this and more in my conversation with Melanie Farrell. I hope you love it!
