Life, Values & Legacy: Our Chat with Brittney Cabrera of Birmingham

Brittney Cabrera shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.

Brittney, really appreciate you sharing your stories and insights with us. The world would have so much more understanding and empathy if we all were a bit more open about our stories and how they have helped shaped our journey and worldview. Let’s jump in with a fun one: What makes you lose track of time—and find yourself again?
When I am playing with my son and listening to him play and giggle!

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Hi! I’m Britt and I own a small furniture flipping and small house DIY projects in Birmingham Alabama! It is a mix of house projects for customers like painted doors with special designs or furniture that is restored and refurbished! I do this all during my son’s naptime! So I only have a couple of hours each day to be able to work but I wouldn’t have it any other way! It’s a way for me to be able to take care of my son and bring in some extra cash flow to our family!

Okay, so here’s a deep one: Who taught you the most about work?
I taught myself about work as I am completely self taught! 🙂 I value teaching myself and building something for myself as well as building something from the ground up!

When you were sad or scared as a child, what helped?
Praying and reading my Bible helped, as well as seeking safety from my family!

Next, maybe we can discuss some of your foundational philosophies and views? Is the public version of you the real you?
Absolutely! I do not like being anyone else but my true self!

Okay, we’ve made it essentially to the end. One last question before you go. What will you regret not doing? 
Trying new things because I’m afraid of failing and looking silly! I compare myself to other creators and always feel like a failure!
