Hi and welcome to Love, Brie
Love, Brie is for women navigating singlehood, situationships, and self-worth with humour, hope, and heart. It’s a newsletter for women who are so done with dating drama, self-worth spirals, and expired advice. From the desk of a dating columnist who owns more vibrators than heels, and still believes in love — most days.
As a relationships writer for the past 15 years, I’ve explored the messy, hilarious, hopeful, and heartbreaking sides of modern love in over 60 publications, including The Washington Post, BBC, Elle Canada, Scary Mommy, Shondaland, SheKnows, and Parents. Google “Brianne Hogan and dating” and you’ll find everything from first-date tips to navigating breakups, ghosting, situationships, and how to love yourself through it all.
But I don’t just write about love — I’ve lived through it, studied it, and now help others work through it too.
In addition to writing, I mentor women through the emotional ups and downs of modern dating, helping them navigate casual sex, self-worth, and situationships with clarity and confidence.
Love, Brie is the most personal thing I’ve ever done. It’s where I share raw essays, unfiltered thoughts, expert interviews, and writing advice — all through the lens of love. Because love isn’t just about romance. It’s about how we show up for ourselves, how we communicate, how we create, and how we live.
After years of career pivots, heartbreaks, singledom, and two cross-country moves — one with my parents, one totally solo — I found a renewed mission:
To encourage women — especially those in their 30s and 40s — to own their stories and live authentically, even if it means rewriting the rules.
Whether it’s through my writing, workshops, or 1:1 mentorship, my goal is to help women feel less alone, more empowered, and better equipped to trust themselve sin love — and in life.
If you’re tired of pretending you’re fine, if you’re questioning where you “should” be by now, or if you just want to feel a little more seen in your love life and your real life — this space is for you.
Love, Brie is where love, dating, and self-worth collide — with heart, humour, and zero sugarcoating. From awkward encounters and bad dates to the most important relationship of all: the one you have with yourself.
Who is Brie?
Before I was a freelance writer and author, I was a writer. I know that sounds silly but there’s a freedom in just being a writer without saying you’re a writer. My mom’s convinced I started writing at 6 months old. Maybe that’s true. Maybe I am a genius.
Today, I’ve written thousands of articles in 60+ publications over the last decade. My bylines have appeared in The Washington Post, Men’s Health, the BBC, Shondaland, Elle Canada, Scary Mommy, SheKnows, HelloGiggles, BuzzFeed, and many more.
I’m also the author of two books, Friendship Signs and Joy in the Stars, and I host a podcast also called… Love, Brie.
Thanks for being here!
Love, Brie xoxo
