Today we’d like to introduce you to Brianna Burpo.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
It all started when my husband was deployed and I was eight months pregnant with baby #2. I had just gone on leave from teaching and planned to take a full year off to adjust to life as a mom of two while he was gone. I moved in with my parents in Arkansas so I could have extra hands and support. But even surrounded by the people I knew and loved, I felt incredibly lonely.
At the time, people didn’t really talk about the loneliness of motherhood. I spent my late-night feeds and car rider line waits watching “mommy influencers,” and one day it hit me: You can do this too. So I did.
I posted a simple video of myself making a hydration drink, a little “mom life hack.” Looking back, it feels a bit cringey, but that one video is what started everything. I found a group of moms online who encouraged, inspired, and pushed me. We still cheer each other on to this day. We have never met in person, but some of those women feel like real friends.
Fast Forward. I am now a mom of 3 who just transitioned back into teaching while creating content. My growth has been slow and steady, but I have built a community of moms who relate to the everyday monotony of real life and who feel heard, seen, and loved. And alongside them, I have continued to lean on the support of my best friends, my family, and my husband, all of whom have helped hold me up in this season of motherhood.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Absolutely not. Comparison is the thief of joy, and social media is truly a highlight reel. One of my non-negotiables is keeping it real. I believe the world of content creation can make people desire things that feel bigger than themselves simply because of what they’ve seen or heard online.
For a long time, I kept asking myself, *What am I doing wrong? Why am I not seeing growth?* But when I stepped back, I realized what I did have: a community of people who trust me because of who I am and what I show up as online. Follower count doesn’t matter to me. It’s the community and the heart behind what I do that truly counts.
Imposter syndrome has also been a huge struggle. Living here in DFW, there are influencers and content creators everywhere. It sometimes feels like there is someone on every corner, the same way you see churches. But there is only one me. Once I truly accepted that, I understood the value I bring.
Those struggles with imposter syndrome actually pushed me to connect with and collaborate with brands and local restaurants I never would have imagined working with. They reminded me that my unique voice matters and that there is room for me at any table I desire to have a seat.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I am a 4th grade teacher who also creates UGC and lifestyle content in my spare time. I specialize in authentic, relatable content about parenting, motherhood, and everyday life hacks. I’m known for keeping it real, sharing both the messy, chaotic moments and the wins, because realness is what people relate to most. At one point, I even coined myself a “middle mama” because I am quite literally just a mom in the middle of life.
I’m most proud of my ability to pivot and evolve my content with the seasons of my life. Returning to the classroom after four years at home while maintaining my online presence was a huge transition, but I embraced it, and my community has come along for the ride. Some have been with me since my very first hydration video, while others found me through simple, everyday content, like a video about a washer and dryer my parents gifted us for Christmas.
What sets me apart is my focus on authenticity and community over follower count. I create content with heart, showing real life, and building trust with my audience. I’ve collaborated with over sixty brands, many nationally recognized, and each partnership reminds me that staying true to myself and sharing my real life resonates deeply with people.
Before we go, is there anything else you can share with us?
This work sometimes feels frivolous and unimportant to some people. But as a middle mama, just a mom in the middle of life, I know the impact it can have. Through my online community, I have connected with other moms who felt the same way I did when I first started creating. I have built friendships, led faith-based small groups focused on motherhood, shared my motherhood story with other moms, and the list goes on. Social media can be negative, but only when it is misused. I know it can also be a powerful tool to bring people together around the things that matter most to them.
