Bri’s Best Bangers of 2024

It’s time for the [first ever] annual tradition of Bri’s Bangers! A compilation of things I (Bri Leever) am watching, reading, listening, feeling, observing, following, and learning both on and off the community field.

Enjoy! And reply back to tell me which one you liked the best!

This season of Dear Bri was sponsored by our friends at Heartbeat.

Heartbeat is an all-in-one community platform and it’s the one I chose to host my own community. Your members can finally have events, conversation, content and courses in one distraction-free, intimate, customized place.

I’m an affiliate with Heartbeat which means when you sign up through my link, I get paid a small amount at no extra charge to you. Thank you for supporting my work in that way.
