Hey –

Ever felt that little jolt of curiosity when an idea grabs your attention? That's a brain itch. Ignore it, and it bugs you, a persistent reminder there's more to explore. It's like having an unfinished melody in your mind, urging you to uncover hidden tunes of knowledge.

I’m Désirée, the brain behind The Brain Itch — a space born out of the sheer need to untangle the craziness impacting our work and personal lives.

The Brain Itch isn't just a newsletter; it's a journey. I’m on a mission to connect the dots, decode the trends, and sprinkle a bit of strategic focus on the everyday hustle.

Why subscribe? Because here, we’ll go beyond theory and trends.

We’ll explore what being more thoughtful and strategic in how we shape our careers and businesses might look like.

We’ll unpack new ideas and approaches.

We’ll look at the big themes and small hacks.

Because modern life is a journey that demands creativity, courage, and a good dose of strategic smarts.

So if you're craving a blended perspective and a practical approach to navigating the modern-day maze, you're in the right place. We’ll evaluate the essential from the unnecessary, the pragmatic from the trending, and, hopefully, help you thrive in the process.

I’ll also share personal experiences, learnings and breakthroughs that can only take place in the safe space behind the paywall.

Glad you’re here. Let’s scratch that brain itch!

Désirée
