Hi! Welcome. I’m Brianne.
Most people know me as a writer, podcast host, public speaker, and world traveler- but you can think of me as the blunt AF bff you didn't even know you needed.
You've stumbled upon a little piece of the internet that I get to selfishly take up. The place where I get to unapologetically share my wildest thoughts and deepest desires. The place where I get to be ME- without rules to follow, hoops to jump through, or masks to wear.
And it's my hope that by cruising these pages, reading my words and hearing my voice- that you somehow find that for yourself too.
So I guess it's time to introduce myself, hey?
Well, here goes nothing: I am a born-and-raised country girl who grew up in a very small town of less than 300 people in Alberta, Canada.
From a young age I experienced a long list of trauma and hardships- and I spent most of my life beating the 'poor me' drum, wondering why life was out to get me.
As I entered my twenties, I also simultaneously entered what I like to call my 'conscious healing journey'- which is where I began to learn about healing yourself. It opened a door that I wasn't prepared for, but looking back I can see just how desperately it was needed.
Since then, I've lived many lives. I've walked away from a career in nursing, hung up my coaching titles, and took a blind leap of faith into becoming a writer; a title that I've secretly wanted my whole life but felt like an imposter in holding.
I've walked away from friendships, had businesses crumble underneath me, and lost everything I invested financially; leaving me to file bankruptcy and face some really deep-seeded money wounds that I tried so hard to run away from.
I sold my house and (almost) everything I owned to 'unintentionally' become a minimalist travelling the globe with my husband; a freedom-based dream that society would otherwise have you believe is impossible unless you've got deep pockets.
But mostly, I've spent the last 13+ years shedding old versions of me.
I've learned how to stop people pleasing, say no, hold boundaries. I've learned how to face conflict head on, speak up, stand up for myself. and I've learned how to actually forgive myself for every shitty thing I've ever done in my life so that I can love myself more, go after what i want most in this lifetime, and stop caring so dam much about what anyone else thinks of me.
So now, as I work my way through my thirties- as complicated, as messy and as hard as they are- I aspire to use my learned wisdom to create a community of women who don't just get it but frankly, are in the thick of it too.
Thus, in this little corner of the internet you'll find me here: podcasting, writing, sharing- with a rawness and depth you only get from lived experience. Stick around a while and you're likely to be challenged, maybe even triggered, but hopefully also inspired to be, do and demand more for your life.
You have one life to live. It's time to grab the bull by the horns, baby girl.
MY GOAL ISN’T TO INFLUENCE YOU- BUT TO DE-INFLUENCE YOU.
I’ve never believed there’s just one way to do life, and I’ve never trusted systems that tell us we’re broken unless we follow their rules.
I’m not here to sell you a perfect path or a polished version of healing. I’m here to remind you that there are so many ways to exist- and you get to choose the one that feels the best to you.
I want to show you that there’s more out there.
More ways to live.
More ways to love.
More ways to heal.
I don't want you looking at my life wishing it was yours. I want you to feel brave enough to build the life you’ve always dreamed of- on your terms.
Whether you're looking for confirmation that you're not alone, you're feeling motivated to create your dream life, or you're simply wanting to be inspired on what 'not' to do... you're in the right place.
So let’s move through these messy years together. Let’s question the narratives, tell the truth, and loosen our grip on how things are “supposed” to look.
And if we don’t figure all of our shit out?
At least we won’t be doing it alone.
Here for the chaos + joy,
Brianne xx
