Hi! Welcome to Business Lesbian! This is a creative endeavor fueld by a gentle existential crisis currently being experienced by yours truly: Brittany Diederich. The Business Lesbian.From 2011-2022 I worked at my family construction business, rose through the ranks, and ended up as the Director of Finance and Administration and Part-Owner. It was a wonderful learning experience and I'm so grateful for the opportunity and the insane amount of nepotism I benefitted from. In 2022, I made the di ...

It's easy to justify staying out of politics. Often debates lead to unproductive arguments that damage relationships and just aren't fun to talk about. People exist in all forms and have priorities all over the place; the folks we elect hopefully represent the majority of their constituents accurately and will advance their interests accordingly. T…

It’s been a minute since the last ruminates episode and there was a low-hanging fruit remix of our theme song that spurred this BL mini-sode into existence. Spooky lesbians anyone? In this episode/Halloween, Meagan and Molly hop on the pod to catch up and share their Halloweekend shenanigans, Molly’s second (first?) Halloween as a mom, the transiti…

Scribble ladies? check. Body positivity? check. The announcement of a second business venture from a self-identified “zillenial” artist who is absolutely crushing the game? check-but this time using a satisfyingly smooth glass pen that you will be able to buy at Hannah Stelter’s “Scribble Lady Co” merchandise and art supply company. We got Molly ba…

Therapy changed my life, full-stop. I suffer(ed) from anxiety, depression, and a pretty poor self-image; through therapy I was able to practice self-compassion, understand and love myself, and guide myself to a path that is so fulfilling. I really cannot advocate enough for this critical form of medical care. I am so proud of this episode which hig…

Our dog Mac was found with three siblings and his mom on the Turtle Mountain Animal reservation back in 2018; he came to us about 14 weeks old, still processing his de-wormer (which was gross, but necessary), but with a face that demanded forgiveness each time he pooped on the floor. Four years later, I still feel really grateful to Keith Benning a…

This podcast has officially entered “that’s showbiz baby” status in the sense that I have episodes pending publishing after corporate approval. My marketing friends warned me about this! That’s fine, no worries, but that means I don’t have a new episode for you this week or next, so count your lucky stars, you get to listen to me ruminate once agai…

pronounced: good-buh-eye-bee-eye, translates to: Goodbye Industrial Builders, Incorporated. I have been asked, many times, why I would leave a job I was good at, at a company that my family and I owned, when I had a bright and fairly certain future ahead of me. This episode is an attempt to explain that and process the end. On Friday September 2nd,…

Sounding like a broken record here, but I have some amazing friends doing wonderful things. With fall approaching, back to school is on top of mind for all the educators and folks with kiddos, so I thought it would be nice to check in on those doing the work. Very proud to showcase them. I asked my friends who are different points in their teaching…

In it, I talk about what I hope the show will be and then clarify what listeners should reasonably expect from a chaos monster like myself. I debate whether I will continue to be a …

You know how sometimes you meet someone and just immediately click? That’s how it was when I met our inaugural episode’s guests, Molly Swanston and Meagan McDougall. Both were in similar boats to me; working in a male-dominated field but having the cutting edge of nepotism courtesy of the being part of the family who owns the business. Because they…
