Meet Brielle Larocca

We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Brielle Larocca. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Brielle below.

Brielle, we’re so excited for our community to get to know you and learn from your journey and the wisdom you’ve acquired over time. Let’s kick things off with a discussion on self-confidence and self-esteem. How did you develop yours?

I wasn’t always the confident, self-motivated person I am today. In fact, for the longest time, I was the complete opposite. I doubted myself, self-sabotaged, and let insecurity run the show. But now? I’m overflowing with confidence, and my goal is to help others tap into that same energy within themselves. Because that’s the thing about confidence—it’s already inside you. You just have to embrace it.

The first step in building my confidence was distancing myself from anything and anyone that didn’t align with who I wanted to become. Friends, family members, even social media accounts—if they made me feel unworthy or incapable of achieving my goals, they had to go. People who truly support you won’t try to keep you small; they’ll encourage you to grow. And as for social media? If I found myself constantly comparing my life to someone else’s, that was my cue to unfollow. Comparison really is the thief of joy, and I refused to keep robbing myself.

Another game-changer was staying true to myself and committing to my goals—no matter how “unrealistic” they seemed to others. I had to start asking myself: Who cares? Who cares if my dreams seem too big? This is my life, and I’m the one living it every day. So why not go all in? Why not chase what truly lights me up? At the end of the day, I’m not here to impress anyone—I’m here to be me.

Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?

My name is Brielle, but some of you might know me as BrieMadeIt on social media. I consider myself a multifaceted creative because I love exploring all forms of artistic expression. My creativity goes far beyond just drawing and painting on canvas—I’ve made tables, ashtrays, rolling trays, lighter cases, clothing, and so much more. And I’m still expanding. On top of that, I’ve launched a YouTube channel and even written an interactive book (coming soon!) to tap into my love for storytelling and sharing my experiences.

I am living proof that you can turn pain into passion and transform every negative experience into something beautiful. And I say that with complete humility.

I’ve never liked the idea of boxing myself into one niche—it feels limiting to what I can offer as a creative. You never know who’s watching, who’s being inspired, or who might need to hear your story. That’s why I make it a point to share all parts of my journey. Some people might call me “scattered” or say I can’t stick to one thing, but I see it as a strength. By embracing my versatility, I can reach a much wider audience and, hopefully, inspire someone who’s stuck in the same negative mindset I once had.

The name BrieMadeIt holds deep meaning for me, both personally and strategically. When people see my artwork, my book, or anything I create, they’ll ask, “Who made that?”—and the answer is right there: Brie made it! But beyond that, when people witness my growth, my resilience, and my ability to elevate myself to new heights, I want them to look at my journey and say, “Wow… Brie made it.”

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

The most important part of my journey, without a doubt, has been my willingness to learn. Look, I get it—we all want to believe we’re on the right path, making the right choices. But sometimes, a little redirection and a fresh perspective can be exactly what we need to grow. That doesn’t mean listening to every outside voice or absorbing every opinion thrown your way. This is where discernment comes in—knowing the difference between valuable guidance that aligns with your growth and plain, unwarranted negativity. There’s no universal guidebook for this because everyone’s experiences are different, but trust yourself to make the right call in the moment.

Another major part of my process has been setting clear boundaries and removing myself from situations that no longer serve me. Sometimes, the people and environments we’ve been around for years are actually holding us back. Letting go isn’t easy—it’s scary, it’s uncomfortable, and at first, it will hurt. But growth requires sacrifice. You have to realign yourself, embrace the unknown, and step boldly into the new life you’re creating. Don’t fear it—welcome it. You can’t make space for what’s meant for you if you’re still clinging to what’s not.

And lastly—confidence is everything! Be bold. Be loud. Be unapologetically delusional in believing in yourself. There’s only one you, and no one can replicate or replace what you bring to the table. Stop seeking outside validation when the only approval you truly need is your own. Self-love is the foundation for everything—it will elevate you to places you never imagined. So stand tall, own your truth, and believe with your whole heart that you can do this. Because you CAN!

Looking back over the past 12 months or so, what do you think has been your biggest area of improvement or growth?

My biggest area of growth has been developing a deep sense of self-worth and building a strong relationship with myself. It might sound wild to some, but when I say I was completely lost and had no idea who I was, I mean it. Even just a year ago, I struggled to answer the simplest questions—like “What’s your favorite color?”—because I genuinely didn’t know myself. And to be honest, I didn’t care enough to figure it out.

But over time, I had a realization: I am the only person who will be with me 24/7 for the rest of my life. So why not love myself along the way?

That’s when I started putting in the work. I read self-healing books, journaled my thoughts and emotions, and in the process, learned so much about myself. I reconnected with the things that once brought me joy as a kid, practiced self-love in my own love language, and made affirmations a daily habit to keep me aligned. Now, I can confidently say I know who I am, and I have a clear vision of the person I want to become—one year from now, five years from now, and beyond.
