We have been searching for a podcast that we can relate to...we found a few but nothing that really resonated with us so we decided to create our own. After all, spending time with your dearest and oldest friends provides such interesting, funny and sometimes downright bizarre stories that will entertain anyone who is listening. Get ideas about what your mother never warned you about, what is considered a bad marriage proposal, home cures for anything that ails you as we demystify so many things!
The 3 of us have known each other for ~48 years! We all grew up in Green Bay Wisconsin (and yes....we are crazed Packers fans). We have been through puberty, 1st boyfriends, cheerleading, marriages, divorces, children, aging parents, cancer, death and so much more together! Think of us as wise, yet sassy, advisors to anyone younger and blood sisters to those born in the 60's and 70's. The 80's though is the undisputed best music decade...period
The Brains Brawn and Bougie, podcast will cover a wide range of topics and we hope that no matter your age, sexual orientation, location, or vocation that you will get something out of each episode. We will be using some researched facts so support our topic but will be providing a heavy dose of our own unique opinions as well. No topic is off limits (well maybe some....) and we will try to not polarize anyone, however, in some cases we are just to old and too tired to give a rats ass!
Our first episode will introduce you to us and you will be able to learn more about our histories and why we wanted to do this podcast!
Find out just how strange we really are based on things we get the ick from or just annoy the shit out of us!
Listen to a sample!
At Brains Brawn and Bougie, we believe that every day can be extraordinary. Our podcast offers tips and inspiration everyone! We are all very opinionated and may not agree with each other all of the time, which adds to the fabric of our shows! We cannot wait to meet our listeners where they are. so take a listen to one of our episodes and provide feedback. We are new to this and will make mistakes for sure....but please enjoy!

A lifelong mover and connector, Renee is a mom to two adult sons and has been married to their dad for over 40 years. As the youngest of seven (and aunt to an impressive 37!), family has always been at the center of her world.
Professionally, she brings a wide range of experience — over 20 years in pharmaceutical sales, more than a decade as an EMT, and decades in the fitness industry. Renee’s also passionate about giving back, volunteering locally and nationally with the Red Cross Disaster Action Team and continuing her service today with community organizations.
When she’s not working or volunteering, you’ll find her mountain or road biking in the summer, snowshoeing or downhill skiing in the winter, and squeezing in daily yoga, walks, or runs year-round. Her love language? Busy and active.
Renee is excited to add “podcaster” to her growing list of adventures — especially alongside two of her dearest friends.
