Briana Wyatt Wyatt shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.
Good morning Briana Wyatt, we’re so happy to have you here with us and we’d love to explore your story and how you think about life and legacy and so much more. So let’s start with a question we often ask: What are you being called to do now, that you may have been afraid of before?
I’m being called to speak my truth and be vulnerable about my journey. I’ve been consistently showing up creatively, but I’ve had a lot of twists and turns, ups and downs, and never really shared what was going on behind the scenes. I’ve learned so much along the way and recognized the power of sharing knowledge. I wouldn’t be where I am today if the people I admired weren’t open and vulnerable about their struggles and falls throughout their journeys. Multiple people gave me tips along the way. It takes a lot to change your mindset and realize that the world is what you make of it. I was afraid of being heard incorrectly, seen in a different light, and misunderstood. I had to realize that everyone is misunderstood, and no matter how clearly you speak or explain yourself to others, people will perceive you how they want. It’s not something that I can control.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Hey! My name is Briana Wyatt and I’m a creative at heart—using my gifts to create visions and unique pictures that tell stories. Growing up surrounded by my love of gaming, music, and endless creativity, I developed a deep love for art and collaboration. My main journey has been modeling which started in 2020. I also do my own makeup, I sing, I’m learning instruments, and in the future I will do voice acting. The point of it all is self-expression, and I strive to inspire growth through my creations and spread joy.
Appreciate your sharing that. Let’s talk about your life, growing up and some of topics and learnings around that. Who taught you the most about work?
My family definitely taught me the most about work—specifically my parents. Despite how they might have felt, they got up and did what they could to keep my brother and I provided for. They didn’t just provide for us. They had room left over to do family vacations, buy us the gifts we wanted, and let us be spoiled. My family is filled with veterans, so being disciplined was a standard. They rewarded me when I did my job of getting good grades. They instilled in me that being a good worker gets you good results. I was always envious of the kids that would be able to call their mom and say they were sick and would get pulled out of school. I tried that when I was in a bad mood and my mom just laughed at me because she knew I wasn’t serious. I learned resilience because of it, getting through my hard days, and most of the time I ended up leaving the school day happier than I felt at first.
What’s something you changed your mind about after failing hard?
I thought it would stain you forever. Life continues on. You learn your lesson. You learn how to be better. People might slightly remember your failures, but they’re not as impactful as you think they are. People are not criticizing you as hard as you are. I thought everyone would laugh and bring up the times I might have crashed out, said something wrong, or just didn’t show up as my best. The only one thinking about it is you. Honestly, if someone is thinking about your failures that hard, they clearly don’t have anything better to do in their lives. At least you tried. What are they doing?
Alright, so if you are open to it, let’s explore some philosophical questions that touch on your values and worldview. What’s a belief you used to hold tightly but now think was naive or wrong?
I used to think that success came from someone saving you, but it starts with saving yourself. I thought dreams came true because one person comes along, “sees” you, and shapes you into who you need to be. Don’t get me wrong, I know people are sent along the journey to help you become who you are. It all starts within, though. It starts with you believing in yourself and your worth. It starts with you holding yourself accountable for your mistakes. It starts with you unlearning the habits holding you back. It starts with you accepting who you want to become. It starts with being at peace and working with what you have. You attract the right people and opportunities along the way because of it. You become—not because of others—but because you want to see the best version of your life.
Okay, so let’s keep going with one more question that means a lot to us: If you laid down your name, role, and possessions—what would remain?
My character. My integrity. My kindness. My spirit. The beauty of the world through my eyes. My boundaries. My truth. Hopefully some inspiration. My soul would remain and that speaks for itself.
