I’m Brandyn Gallagher— a writer, artist, and creator blossoming at the ever-present crossroads of resistance, healing, and hope. This space is where I weave together the threads of my life beyond the Inclusion & Belonging consulting and life coaching work I do through Real Belonging.

If you’re looking for DEI-aligned coaching, team facilitation, or organizational support, head over there. But if you’re here to learn about the spirit of the Ozark Mountains and our perfectly excellent Hillbilly art; buy a one-of-a-kind painting; discover amazing music; pick up a stellar (audio)book recommendation; or casually learn things about survival your great-grandma wishes she were still around to teach you herself— you’re in the right place.

It’s personal. It’s authentic It’s an invitation to slow down and get to know the real me and the ways my experiences of real belonging shape my worldview for supporting others in finding their own real belonging.

Pour yourself a cup of iced tea and have a sit, neighbor.
