014. The Evolution of Brickell Babes with Emily Dempsey
Wed Dec 10 2025
💌 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
