Love Your Mess
When everything changed… she chose herself.
After years of being the “good girl” who did everything right — the career, the family, the expectations — Brittany hit a breaking point.
A text message ended a friendship, but began a reckoning.
It forced her to see that she’d spent a lifetime fighting for space in everyone else’s world… and had forgotten to make room for herself in her own.
In this raw, powerful WHEN Stories™ talk, Brittany shares how she stopped performing for approval and started living for alignment.
Through heartbreak, career shifts, therapy, and courage, she discovered that clarity doesn’t come from perfection — it comes from the mess.
✨ Watch this talk if you’ve ever felt unseen, burned out, or afraid to trust your intuition.
This is a story of emotional agility, self-worth, and loving your mess — because that’s where transformation begins.
Brittany Nyenhuis is a visionary strategist, movement builder, and mother of three who blends corporate clarity with radical compassion. As the founder of Human Element Consulting and Love Your Mess, she operates at the intersection of policy, purpose, and personal transformation—helping both organizations and individuals rise with integrity.
Born and raised in Wisconsin and still proudly rooted there, Brittany brings Midwestern grit and grace to everything she does. Through Human Element Consulting, she partners with small to mid-sized businesses to build people-first workplaces. Her expertise spans inclusive HR frameworks, compliance strategy, and leadership coaching—all grounded in the belief that the human element isn’t a liability, it’s the greatest asset.
Her second venture, Love Your Mess, is a soul-led platform and movement that empowers women to reclaim their truth, challenge societal norms, and embrace unapologetic self-expression. It’s a space where belief meets emotional agility, and where vulnerability becomes a superpower. Brittany’s coaching, content, and community-building efforts invite women to rise—not in perfection, but in authenticity.
Whether she’s guiding a CEO through a culture shift or helping a woman rediscover her voice, Brittany leads with emotional depth, strategic clarity, and a fierce commitment to transformation. Her work is rooted in lived experience, spiritual wisdom, and a belief that our mess isn’t something to hide—it’s the birthplace of our brave decisions and our magic.
