I haven't been in this account for a while. Been busy. What has everyone been up to? What are your creative projects? Me? I'm working on a book I'm writing in public. I published two short stories with other authors in a collab including the amazing @thekatacombs.bsky.social

Musings: Is It Attachment Style, Neurodivergence… or Something Else Entirely? I was curled up with Attached by Amir Levine & Rachel Heller (2010) the other night, nodding along as they described the telltale signs of “anxious” and “avoidant” attachment styles... open.substack.com/pub/drbriean...

🛡️ How to Protect Your Work in the Digital Age If you’re a therapist, coach, or creator sharing original work online—this one’s for you. I break down how to protect your content in the digital age without hiding it away. open.substack.com/pub/drbriean...

They Said “That’s Not a Thing”—I Made It My Life’s Work When a mentor dismissed vicarious trauma in helpers, I didn’t shrink—I studied it. Named it. Built with it. This is that story. 💥💛 #CompassionReset #VicariousTrauma #NeurodivergentBusiness open.substack.com/pub/drbriean...

My newest creations are these fabric art cosmic ghost charms. I designed, hand-sewed, and hand-embroidered them. There's only a 32.2% chance that the ghosts will devour your soul or the contents of your bag. jeremycreature.bigcartel.com

I will say. IMHO, Bluesky is waaaay better than X.

Just for shits and giggles, I put Nezuko over Rose in Titanic and now I can’t stop laughing. But why does it fit so well hahahaha

As some of you know, I've been working on building out my collection of horror cat sticker designs. I finally tackled Pinhead (which I need to fix up), and Jason was just finished today! So yay! Go me hahaha. I'm planning on doing a Jigsaw next and I can take a small break from this line up!

EeeeEeEEe!! I sample ordered some pin designs and they turned out really cute! Can’t wait to order the backing on these so I can attach them for my little shop! 🤭

TL;DR: A Year in the Arena 🎯 1 year into Business for Nerds coaching: ✨ Discovered I’m neurodivergent 📬 Pivoted to async offers 🛡 Found clarity in constraints 🤝 Building with others now 💗 It’s been mind expandy & heart squooshy. 👉 open.substack.com/pub/drbriean...

I’m so proud of these sticker designs I made!!! Aren’t they the cutest?! Aiming to have 3 more before my first con in Sept, and will be turning some of these into pins and keychains!! Feel free to shoot me a DM if you’re interested in having any of these!

✨ Bring your questions. Real-world examples welcome. 🧙‍♀️ We’ll keep it nerdy. 🧭 Let’s make your offer make sense (and not fry your nervous system). 📅 Monday @ 10am ET 🔗 RSVP: forms.gle/UPZV5oxLxSJQ... #coaching #burnout #foreveroffers #therapistlife (3/3)

We’ll talk about: ✔️ Why coaching is harder to explain & sell than therapy ✔️ How to clarify your offer without burnout ✔️ Where folks get stuck when shifting into solopreneurship This one’s for therapists, creatives, helpers, and nerdy biz folks. (2/3)

🧠 Coaching Offers That Don’t Burn Us Out As a therapist, my practice is solid. But coaching? That felt like a buggy side quest for years. 😅 Tomorrow (Monday) at 10am ET, I’m joining @scottperry & @jakeanderson for a live convo about how to build sustainable, values-aligned offers. (1/3)

Love this! And test their stuff and give them feedback, become an amazon affiliate and link their book, write a blog post about their stuff, join their communities and engage, spread the word about what they do.

I sure am terrible at sharing my articles haha. Super late on this but I wrote it on Monday. Just my review for may 24's Saturday Night Main Event! All my WWE stuff is completely free on my Patreon! #wrestlesky

💥 Hot take: If you're not writing TL;DRs, you're leaving readers (and subs) on the table. They're not just summaries—they're search beacons. Wanna stand out online? Learn to TL;DR like a boss. 🧠 I broke it down here: 🔗 open.substack.com/pub/drbriean...

Play Your Game: A Community for Nerdy Therapists, Coaches, Creatives & Business Enthusiasts I started a Discord server called Business for Nerds and I'm currently building the Nerdiverse. I am so having fun with fun people who want to enjoy their businesses. open.substack.com/pub/drbriean...

A prompt from Reddit, how do our GPT's view us? I will add my answer in the comments. www.reddit.com/user/Biz4ner...

And happy women's history month. Actually working on a blog post about women. I'm still noodling about it though.

😂

I actually like Rings of Power. They used creative license to add interpretation much like we do with our own art. That's just my opinion.
