Welcome to The DBP Society
Where aspiring writers find courage to share their stories
And where Done is Better than Perfect
👋 Hey there! I’m Brit — writer, story coach, event-maker, and host of The DBP Society. I created this space for women who want to write more consistently, confidently, and in community.
If you’re ready to stop overthinking and start writing, you’re in the right place.
What is The DBP Society?
A gentle, energizing, virtual community for women who want to:
✅ Start or restart a writing practice
✅ Share their voice without the pressure to be perfect
✅ Build momentum on a blog, Substack, or maybe even a book
✅ Be seen and supported by other brave writers
We write together weekly, reflect monthly, and cheer each other on constantly.
You can join any time, but we also host seasonal refreshes — mini moments throughout the year where new members get extra support and everyone gets a reset. Like a mini creative retreat… in your inbox.

💡 FAQs
What platforms will we use?
Substack — where you’ll get weekly prompts via email every Tuesday
Facebook — a private group for sharing what you’ve written (optional!) and cheering others on
You can join in as much or as little as you want. You don’t need to “keep up” — this is all here when you’re ready.
Are there weekly calls?
Nope! No weekly Zoom calls to clog up your calendar.
Instead, we host a monthly virtual Speakeasy — a casual Zoom hangout on the last Saturday of each month. Think: cozy creative chat meets mini open mic. You can attend or skip — totally up to you!
What kind of writing are we doing?
Mostly personal stories, reflections, and little experiments that help you find your voice. You can keep your writing totally private, or share it in the group, or publish it on your own Substack.
Some members are working on newsletters or books. Others are just dipping their toes in and want to build confidence. All of it is welcome.
Do I have to share what I write?
Nope! You can keep everything to yourself if that’s what you need. This space is pressure-free. But if/when you’re ready to share, we’ll be here with nothing but support and celebratory emojis.
Can I join anytime?
Yes! You can hop in whenever you're ready.
That said, we do seasonal refreshes throughout the year — moments where new folks are welcomed in and we all start a short series of prompts together. It’s a great time to jump in if you like that “fresh start” feeling.
Is this just for new writers?
Not at all. We’ve got total newbies and longtime creatives here. Some people haven’t written in years. Others are building platforms or self-publishing books.
No matter where you are, DBP is here to meet you with curiosity, encouragement, and zero judgment.
What if I need to cancel?
No hard feelings! You can opt out at any time, no matter which option you choose — and you’ll receive a pro-rated refund for any remaining time.
If you're in the paid version, just a heads-up: once you cancel, I’ll need to remove you from the private Facebook group (since that’s part of the member benefits).
But let’s connect to see if there are other ways I could support you. Facebook groups aren’t for everyone and paid memberships can get tough, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t other ways to keep the momentum and connection going.
💌 You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to begin.
Whether you’re writing a book, a blog, or a few brave paragraphs, The DBP Society is here to remind you that your voice matters, your story is enough, and Done really is Better than Perfect.
Let’s write. Let’s connect. Let’s create something true.
xo,
Brit
So…
Who’s the lady behind DBP?
Whether we’ve known each other forever or this our first handshake, it’s important that I introduce (or re-introduce) myself and share WHY I’m passionate about this stuff.
So, I’m Brit. Okay, who are we kidding? Get in here for a hug!
I’m a Colorado native, mama, writing coach, author, speaker, and event producer whose been churning words, creating experiences, and gathering people together since childhood.
I’ve worked with hundreds of businesses on their marketing, copywriting, events, and customer service. I’ve mentored thousands of individuals with their writing, blogs, and personal and professional goals. I’ve spoken to countless mom groups on self-care, held productivity workshops at places like lululemon, E:ON Energy, and KPMG, and even spoken at Visa on the topic of vulnerability.
In 2023, I self-published Mama Be Present: 40 Simple Yet Magical Ways to Find Joy in The Toddler Days, and since my experiential dinner party of a book launch with 100 ladies, I’ve been helping other women write and publish books as well as hosting and emceeing an annual event called Moms on the Mic.
Although my 22-year career has been a winding journey with many destinations — music venues, magazines, newspapers, websites, startups, flower shops, golf courses, and more — it’s all been centered around one theme: connection.
I connect words.
I connect ideas.
I connect people.
I connect moments.
Most of all, I connect others to their own courage.
Through writing, online journeys, deep convos over coffee, workshops, and events, I create spaces where people feel inspired to show up authentically and step into who they really are. I nudge them to do that thing they’ve always wanted to do.
Whether it’s speaking to an audience for the first time, writing a book, saying “yes” to an introduction, starting a newsletter, going six months without drinking, trying open mic, sharing a long-hidden story, breaking all the rules of marketing, or even attending something solo, nothing lights me up more than watching others take a chance and discover what they’re capable of.
And why exactly is that? Why am I obsessed with all things spontaneous, adventurous, and downright courageous?
Because I know how it feels to take a leap of faith or finally do the thing I’ve always wanted to do.
And I’m not talking about the happiness or sense of “completeness” we often think will solve everything. I’m talking about the growth, the lightness, and the ALIVE-ness it brings. I’m talking about the hunger it creates to live life right now and the way it brings us closer to others, to ourselves, and something BIGGER than ourselves.
Because here’s the thing: the kind of success that has ever sustained me has had nothing to do with numbers and money and everything to do with real connection, inner growth, and eye-widening “Godwinks.”
But those beautiful benchmarks have NEVER come easy, boy.
Over the years, I’ve learned that the greatest things in life often don’t appear obvious at first. They present themselves as curveballs, flaws, tragedies, and mistakes, but every time I look back on ANY dark time, I see shiny silver linings. When I dig up the roots of ALL the best things in my life, I find that they all trace back to trauma.
As a survivor of sexual assault, someone who has battled anxiety, depression, burnout, infertility, and a two-year adoption process full of setbacks, I know shame, pain, and silence all too well.
But without all that pain, waiting, and uncertainty, would I be so passionate about helping others embrace challenges, take risks, and unapologetically be who they REALLY are? Without all those years of feeling so alone, would I be as vulnerable as I am? Would I hope so deeply for someone to see themselves in my raw thoughts and stories? Or for them to feel truly welcome at my events? Would my heart be as resilient? Would my eyes see beauty in all kinds of unexpected, overlooked things?
Without all I’ve been through, I wouldn’t be who I am today. I firmly believe that everything is connected. Everything.
I also believe that at the very moment I write this and the very moment you read this, something GOOD is at work for each of us. We can’t see it, smell it, or perhaps even begin to believe it, but I want you to know that I wholeheartedly trust it.
And if you stick around (AKA join The DBP Society), my hope is that you’ll see that YOU are more capable than you think and that YOUR story matters.
SO fucking excited,
P.S.
I also write a twice-a-month(ish) newsletter called Behind the Mic. It’s basically a digital diary of raw reflections on all things writing, speaking, and event creating. It has the same goal as DBP — to remind you what you’re made of and nudge you to chase those dreams!!
