A little bit
more about me
Hey. I’m Brenna.
I’m a gal that loves to share what I think.
I call South Carolina home, and I thrive on slow Saturday mornings, long conversations about things that matter, and living life like abundance is mine (spoiler: it is).
I often refer to myself as “multi-passionate.” In my day-to-day life, I plan events for college students at a university that I adore, and in all the free moments, I’m an avid Instagrammer, a blogger, a podcaster, and a deep feeler. I talk about faith and feelings (I’ve got big ones), community and church, fashion and friendship, and whatever else comes to mind.
On the Happy to Be Here podcast, I dive into the stuff that makes us human — everything from heartbreak to hope, from awkward moments to answered prayers, from dating apps to the local church. It’s casual and cozy, like chatting with a friend who loves asking big questions and sitting in the tension with you.
I always joke that I feel mutual about exactly 0 things. I’m all in, all the time.
And if you’re here, I’m really glad you are.
“The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.”
I care about:
Jesus Christ saving my soul, Sabbath and rhythms, funky shoes, big sunglasses. my friend's kids. telling the truth. fresh flowers, Nuuly try-ons, and giving myself and everyone else some grace.
My fatal flaws:
I'm always late everywhere (except weddings, that's where I draw the line). I have a hard time getting rid of things. I own too many dresses. Oh, and I can't ever let anything be casual - it's either dead to me or I'm hedging my whole life on it.
My dream Saturday includes:
waking up with the sun, making coffee at home, and reading my Bible. maybe I wander to lunch with a friend that will speak life to me. I probably buy some flowers for my kitchen island, I definitely go for a walk. I live without urgency, letting life be slow.

God’s loyal love couldn’t have run out, His merciful love couldn’t have dried up. They’re created new every morning. How great your faithfulness! I’m sticking with God (I say it over and over). He’s all I’ve got left.

These days:
watching:
drinking:
dreaming of:
a trip to Nantucket, getting some margin back in my life, + fall in Anderson.
Seinfeld reruns, Virgin River, and Nate Bargatze specials.
a margarita as a toast to my mom, a venti vanilla ice coffee with cream and no classic, + a Chick-fil-A diet lemonade.
What’s the best
that could happen?
