Nichol Behrens
CEO & Founder
About Nichol
Nichol Behrens is the visionary founder behind Dare2Wear Art which highlights the inspiring work of internationally recognized and accomplished emotional artist Matt Abraham. Nichol openly shares her battles with depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts along with the challenges of being a widow after losing her husband David to suicide following a traumatic brain injury.
Only a few months after her husband’s death, Nichol was asked to collaborate on a book defining her wake up moment in “The Awakened Woman - Dynamic Women Around the Globe’” with Steven Schmidt. During the lowest point of her life, she opened up to share her adversity and the emotional challenges of coping with the denial, pain, anger, guilt, and depression she and her children had to face. The heartbreaking loss of a loved one to suicide was a pivotal moment that now motivates Nichol to help others in dark places find light.
In 2020, Nichol stumbled upon artwork by a young father who captured the most intense emotions in his art after the loss of his wife and infant son while battling severe depression and alcoholism himself. Despite being 8,000 miles apart, a bond grew between the two through the stroke of a brush and pen. Each art piece emerged like magic on the canvas. Matt and Nichol found acceptance, understanding, inner peace, and hope.
Over the last few years, Matt has gifted hundreds of thousands of digital art pieces to widows around the world. Nichol has simultaneously distributed 10,000 small prints to passengers she’s encountered while driving for Uber in an effort to support the vision of the dynamic D2W artists who humbly create emotionally supportive treasures with love.
Think about it: If such a small token of art can inspire strangers to willingly break down emotional walls and share life’s hardships and triumphs through tears, just ponder the impacts we could have if together we wear our emotions and offer a shoulder to lean on unconditionally.
This philosophy forms the foundation of Dare2Wear Art: dare to share, dare to care, and dare to wear.
Dare2Wear Art believes in the power of sharing, caring, and embracing emotions through wearable art. By boldly embracing our feelings, we can inspire others while creating a supportive community that fosters understanding, empathy, and healing. Nichol Behrens and the Dare2Wear team are dedicated to spreading this message and making a positive impact in the lives of individuals who dare to express themselves through art.
Porter Marshall
Chief Marketing Officer
About Porter
Porter Marshall is the Chief Marketing Officer for Dare2Wear Art. His dedication to the brand is guided by three core objectives: bringing awareness to mental health on a global scale, breaking down emotional barriers during difficult times, and leading as an example of resilience, inspiring others to evolve with life’s challenges.
Growing up in Indianapolis, Indiana, Porter gained insight into the complexities of mental health not only witnessing his father's struggles with alcoholism—a battle that tragically led him to take his life in 2004—but also watching friends cope with the emotional toll of losing loved ones to gun violence. These experiences outline the importance of Dare2Wear Art’s mission: to address the mental health struggles many face through open conversation, art, and apparel.
Porter’s involvement with Dare2Wear started in an unexpected place: an Uber ride from Nichol Behrens while she was laying the groundwork for Dare2Wear. Their conversation revealed the shared experiences of losing family members to suicide and grappling with anxiety.
A few months later, Porter unexpectedly found himself without a job as his family welcomed their second child. Life’s next challenge became clear when Nichol reached out with an invitation to collaborate with Dare2Wear Art and champion mental health awareness.
Porter previously spent 15 years prioritizing customer experience and setting industry standards at Bodybuilding.com, a leading name in the fitness community. In the same spirit at Dare2Wear, our vision is unmistakable: a dedication to attentive listening, active engagement, and delivering unmatched customer experiences. Hand in hand, we are determined to reset how society views and addresses mental health.

From ICU to Bestseller
How Maddi Niebanck Turned Life's Hurdles into a Mindset Revolution
Maddi Niebanck, a Georgetown University alum, faced a life-altering moment just one week after graduation. Scheduled for brain surgery to remove an arteriovenous malformation (AVM), she experienced a massive stroke due to a burst blood clot. The journey led her from 15 days in ICU to rehab at Kessler Institute, where she transitioned from being unable to walk or use her left arm to taking steps with a straight cane.
Feeling disconnected from her peers who were entering the workforce, Maddi sought advice from her favorite Georgetown professor, Eric Koester. His counsel to chase her passion during this unexpected life pause led Maddi to author her first book, "Fashion Fwd: How Today's Culture Shapes Tomorrow's Fashion." Not only did writing serve as cognitive therapy, but it also allowed her to explore her new relationship with fashion post-stroke. Her second book, "Fast Fwd: The Fully Recovered Mindset," delves into her ongoing recovery journey, serving as a beacon for the brain injury community worldwide.
Embracing what she calls a 'fully recovered mindset,' Maddi doesn't compare her progress to her past capabilities. Instead, she celebrates her current state, acknowledging that recovery is a continual journey. As she navigates outpatient therapies and sets personal milestones, her message resonates: It's okay to have bad days; what matters is your willingness to adapt and evolve.
Maddi's story underscores the power of perspective and the potential for growth through life's challenges. Her goal? To inspire others that the journey, good or bad, doesn't define you—it's all about your mindset.
Flexibility and willingness to adapt and find new ways to do things… means fully recovered.It’s a mindset.

Three Victories a Day
The Journey from Overthinking to Overcoming
My name is Alfred, and I've spent the last three years navigating my mental well-being. Faced with challenges like overthinking and imposter syndrome, I've adopted a daily routine focusing on three victories: physical, mental, and spiritual. This practice has been transformative, replacing toxic habits with healthier ones. By prioritizing self-care and setting achievable goals, I've seen tremendous personal growth. Sharing my journey on social media has allowed me to connect with a supportive community and inspire others to embark on their own path of self-improvement.
Through my platform, I strive to empower individuals to overcome their own mental and emotional hurdles and find their own three victories each day. I believe that mental wellness is a pivotal aspect of leading a holistic lifestyle. This is because it is difficult to achieve much when your mental state is not right. Through my content, I share tips and tricks that have helped me get better control of my mind, and I try to introduce my audience to other therapy and wellness resources. Practicing mindfulness, exercising regularly, and staying connected with loved ones are some of the key tactics I rely on to take care of my mental well-being.
Additionally, I've found that seeking professional help when needed can also be incredibly beneficial. It's important to understand that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to mental health, and everyone's journey will look different. However, taking small steps each day to prioritize mental wellness can make a big difference in the long run.
Though the journey is an ongoing battle, I've come to relish the process of continuous self-improvement. Each setback is a lesson, each obstacle a steppingstone, making every day a chance to paint a new chapter in my life's story. I've learned to embrace challenges, knowing they forge my character and make the destination worth the journey. It's important to remember that mental wellness is a journey, not a destination, and setbacks are a natural part of that journey. Instead of becoming discouraged, it's important to embrace those challenges as opportunities for growth. Taking a positive outlook and learning from those experiences can lead to a stronger sense of resilience and a healthier mindset overall.

MONTH 2 OVERVIEW
Pain
When the heart weeps, it often reacts involuntarily to a deep-rooted cut, causing an intense and overwhelming pain that leaves us feeling utterly helpless. However, the journey of healing begins with a small step—an act of creating a positive mantra that can counter those painful thoughts. It is an effort to shift our perspective and strive to see the beauty of life amidst its darkness and despair. One way we can achieve this is through conversation, expression, and sharing. By allowing others into our lives and seeking their support, even from those we may not know, we open ourselves to a caring community. We embrace the profound truth that we are precious and loved, often in ways we may not perceive in the moment but will come to realize. Together, with love and kindness, we can provide the support needed to navigate life's imperfections and boldly wear our emotions each day.
