[edit]Wiest grew up in New York and studied at Elizabethtown College where she was editor-in-chief of the Etownian student newspaper.[1][2] In 2013, the author received a B.A in English from the College and later, in 2024, received an Honorary Doctorate in Literature.[1][2] While working as a journalist as a post-graduate, Brianna Wiest began publishing articles on various publications such as Forbes, Teen Vogue, Thought Catalog, and Huffington Post.[3][4][5][6] Over time, she began expanding and meditating on her own creative writing and reflective pieces.[7] Her later works address control, self-development, mental health, self sabotage, and structure in personal life.[8] Today, Wiest is a partner at Thought Catalog and lives in northern California.[5]

Writing Philosophy
[edit]Wiest has interviewed with many prominent magazines and has detailed her writing style, beliefs, and writing philosophy.[18][19] She relies on writing as her "enlightenment," acknowledging that “Writing was my joy; it was my processing.”[18] Additionally, a consistent theme in Wiest's works is the focus on self-sabotage and self-mastery.[19] She explores this intersection, notably how people can work to transform subconscious self-sabotage tendencies into conscious change and growth.[19] Wiest's works all offer ideas, motivations, skills, and recommendations to better aid in a self-help journey and shift towards a more peaceful and joyful life.[19][20]
