Be Yourself — in a way that actually feels like you.
BYL is not about fixing yourself. It’s about trusting who you already are.
You don’t need a new version of yourself.
You might just need permission to come back to the one you’ve been setting aside.
This is a space for gentle clarity, faith & reflection, emotional grounding, and quiet tools I personally return to when life feels heavy or misaligned.
Be Yourself Living is a slower, more intentional space for those learning how to live, create, and earn without losing themselves in the process.
Here, we explore what it means to honor your voice, your values, and your nervous system — especially in the second half of life.
Welcome, I'm Brenda! Learn more about me and why I created Be Yourself Living here. → About
