Choosing principle over power
Hi, I’m Brandyn.
Whether you’re here for tools, training, gifts, or connection — Welcome!
This space is for building real belonging in your corner of the world.
Here are a few of my favorite things:
Gifts That Mean Something
Apparel, home decor, and digital downloads that spark joy and communicate belonging. Every purchase funds mutual aid for LGBTQ+ folks in red states.
If you’re not sure what to get your transgender grandkid for their birthday, or for your coworker as a supportive ally, this is the store you’re looking for.


The shop also hosts fundraisers for U.S.-based LGBTQ+ organizations and social justice-oriented nonprofits that serve trans people. If you would like to put cash in an organization’s bank account, sign them up right here!
Once you do, I’ll send you a unique fundraiser link. You share that link far and wide. People buy their friend’s next birthday gift. I send your organization a generous share for every eligible item purchased. It’s that simple.
Because a gift is more than decoration. It’s a building block in the world we’re creating together. Browse and share at www.realbelonging.shop.


The Relationship Reality Check
Does your relationship sometimes make you wonder if you’re crazy?
Have you ever experienced domestic violence?
Did you ever experience child abuse?
Relationship Reality Check could be the peace of mind you need. It’s a fifteen-minute weekly worksheet to stay grounded in what’s actually, observably true. Take it to your therapist to discuss what you learn from using it.
I built this tool to get me out of an abusive relationship when I was eighteen. I’m still using it today in a healthy one.

Train Your Team With Values and Integrity
Strategic planning retreats. Inclusion & Belonging education on a level folks can connect with, no matter what their background or familiarity with DEI concepts. If helping people get along more respectfully is your goal, I can help.
Value Values & Mirror Magic is a DIY workshop kit for organizations ready to invest in aligning people’s values with the way they show up on your team. At less than $20 per employee in materials + a low, one-time fee for training the trainer, this cost-efficient workshop serves companies without the budget for an external trainer, yet pays real dividends in ethical decision-making, customer service, and integrity-aligned culture.
Currently available for in-person workshop presentations in the U.S.
DIY workshop release coming by Winter 2026.
The Front Porch
Being a whole human person who lives for so much more than work, you’ll find the stories behind my original paintings and art, short essays, interesting tidbits about the Ozark Mountains (including projects funded by the Real Belonging shop), book recommendations for a well-lived life, and so much more at www.brandyngallagher.com.
The tea is sweet, and the rockin’ chair’s free.
Brandyn’s Front Porch is a fine place to be.
