I live to get lost in books, websites, podcasts and research about personal development, relationships and optimal psychology.

I move into the deep thinker's flow state when I read, do research and learn new things. My inner critic [...]

Brenda has truly opened up a space for introverted types on the ‘net, and her self-revelations are always inspiring. Her voice is one I always look forward to. She is one of the writers that actually played a part in my return to writing.  — S.E. of Sunflower Solace Farms

During one of the harder times in my life I found Brenda’s website

that I am introspective extrovert, and this gave something to identify
with and allowed me t… Read more

Your words are my lifeline.  I sit down to your posts and as I read I can feel my acceptance of myself and my needs grow.  Your words validate my feelings about my life, motherhood, relationships and it is something I hold onto.  And during the times when I feel like I am not able to be a mother or a wife or a sister or a friend or whatever someone needs me to be, I go back to your words and find some peace…I send your posts to my husband when I need him to understand that I love him but I need … Read more

For the first time in my life I could truly explain, through your words the way in which I experience life and myself. Brenda… It all fell into place.

She clearly has a passion for this work and a gift in imparting the information. There have been doors opened for me because of our talks… — Alan Hintermeister
