Bron Watson is a nurse, educator, entrepreneur, and founder of The Social Coach and The Serenity Project. With decades of experience as a registered nurse and educator, Bron has long been drawn to spaces where care, communication, and connection matter.

In 2012, she founded her first business empowering business owners to share their voice online with authenticity and purpose. Over the past decade, her work has supported thousands of people to show up in life and business with intention and impact.

Bron’s journey took a profound shift in 2017 when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Five years later, she received a second diagnosis—an incurable blood cancer. These experiences deepened her belief that healing isn’t just physical—it’s emotional, spiritual, and deeply personal. Rather than be defined by diagnosis, Bron created The Serenity Project to offer others what she wished she’d had: the space where science meets soul, with evidence and perspective, what she call the ‘third space’ a place to reconnect with yourself, navigate uncertainty with compassion, and find serenity in the midst of it all.

"At the heart of The Serenity Project is the Serenity Prayer that has carried me through the darkest of days:

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,

The courage to change the things I can,

And the wisdom to know the difference.

(And if “God” isn’t your word, replace it with whatever feels true—Universe, Source, Love, or even Dennis. This is about your serenity, not mine.)" -- Bron Watson
