Ever feel 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 spend more time on it.
I’m Désirée, the brain behind The Brain Itch — a space born out of the necessity to untangle the craziness impacting our work and personal lives, and to follow my curiosity down new rabbit holes and through critical reflections.
The Brain Itch isn't just a newsletter; it's a journey. A collection of field notes on my path of connecting the dots to form a bigger picture, decoding business trends, and trying to stay grounded in this hustle we call career.
Why subscribe?
Because here, we’ll go beyond information. I want to share a point of view, be critical where needed, and creative whenever possible.
I’ll unpack new ideas and approaches. Look at the big themes and small hacks.
So if you're craving a blended, interdisciplinary perspective and a practical approach to navigating the modern-day maze, I hope my insights will inform and inspire you to evaluate the essential from the unnecessary, the pragmatic from the trending, and, hopefully, help you thrive in the process.
I’ll also share insights, learnings, new frameworks and breakthroughs that can only take place in the safe space behind the paywall.
Glad you’re here. Let’s scratch that brain itch!
