Despite the successful season, in which she was able to win the championship trophy, her spell abroad came to an end (along with her soccer career).

Instead of giving the US’ NWSL a try, Brittany started to focus on a being an entrepreneur. She created Brittany Lynne Fitness, becoming a certified personal trainer and health advocate.
