Hosted by five female founders from different cities, industries, and walks of life, this show pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to build something powerful, together.

    014. The Evolution of Brickell Babes with Emily Dempsey

    💌 Send us a Text, We love to hear from you! Today we’re pulling up a chair for Emily Dempsey, founder of Brickell Babes (and low-key Miami’s main character). What started as a simple way to make friends in a new city has turned into a full-blown community and movement for ambitious women living in Brickell. In this conversation, Emily shares the messy middle of starting over, why she left a corporate job in NYC for something totally uncertain, and how she’s navigated the highs and lows of building a brand, a following, and a real community from scratch. We also get into saying no to stay in alignment, building confidence (even when it feels delusional), and what she’s dreaming up next. If you’ve been craving a new chapter or wondering if your big idea could be the thing, you’ll feel so seen. What we get into:  — The story behind Brickell Babes and building community from scratch  — Leaving a comfy NYC job to take a chance in Miami  — Why alignment > hustle every time  — The power of a media kit (yes, even for your events)  — Emily’s favorite Brickell girl hot takes  — How delusional confidence helped her keep going  00:00 Taking the leap: Leaving a corporate salary behind  01:37 Meet Emily Dempsey + the origin of Brickell Babes  05:32 How Brickell Babes grew organically into a real movement  12:45 Why having a media kit matters more than you think  16:51 What to know before starting your own community  19:09 Learning to say no — and why alignment is worth it  31:37 The intersection of personal growth + entrepreneurship  36:01 Delusional confidence + how to hold the vision  40:02 Hot takes, Brickell edition 🌴  47:39 Final thoughts + what’s next for Emily 🔗 Connect with Power Haus Women: Website: powerhauswomen.com Instagram: @powerhauswomen ✨ Join the Movement: Explore the Power Haus Society — our private community for women in business: powerhauswomen.com/society Follow along: @powerhaussociety
