Here we sit down with Brandy, to know a bit more about her journey as an entrepreneur.
What inspired you to become an entrepreneur?
Brandy: My inspiration to become a life coach was deeply rooted in my own journey of healing and self-discovery. After enduring and overcoming the pain of a toxic relationship, I was driven by a deep desire to turn those challenging experiences into a powerful source of strength and guidance for others.
Experiencing the transformative power of emotional and spiritual growth firsthand, I felt a deep calling to create a space that not only addresses emotional wounds but also ignites spiritual connection! My mission is to remind you that your being, existence, experience, and stories matter, and that you have the ability to let your soul shine and to not let your past define you, but to allow yourself to define your story!
How did you get started?
Brandy: Before launching my coaching business, I spent years on a personal healing journey, investing countless hours into personal development, self-growth, faith, certifications, and self-help.
As a lifelong learner, I immersed myself deeply in these areas. After overcoming a toxic relationship, I began sharing my story and created my program, RECLAIMED: 90 Days to Discover Your True Self After a Toxic Relationship. Connecting with many beautiful souls who faced similar challenges, their positive responses motivated me to expand my offerings to help individuals connect with their spirituality, for those who are open to exploring this aspect of their journey!
What was your biggest startup challenge? What steps did you take to overcome it? What did you learn?
Brandy: My biggest startup challenge was overcoming the fear of judgment during significant periods of spiritual awakening and transition. At another level of my spiritual journey, I experienced an ego death. This means that the old versions of us — who we were a year ago, five years ago, etc. — literally fade away. We are constantly evolving and changing. This time next year, another version of us will fade away as well. This is me claiming all parts of myself!
I wholeheartedly embrace my divine purpose and evolution, with an incredible desire to support and inspire others. I recognize that every soul is on a unique path with different levels of awakening, as we all can’t learn the same lessons at the same time. I learned to trust that those who resonate with my journey will naturally find their way to me.
As we grow and evolve, not everyone will understand or align with us or the changes we make. If others react negatively because you don’t or no longer fit into their expectations, it’s important to remember that this is not your fault.
Everyone’s journey is unique, and paths naturally separate as people follow their own growth. Prioritizing your well-being and personal development is absolutely necessary, and it’s okay for relationships or circumstances — whether with friends, family, jobs, households, romantic partners etc. — to shift as you outgrow dynamics that no longer align with you.
What is the most memorable thing you’ve done since you started your business?
Brandy: Integrating my spiritual experiences into my coaching practice since starting my business has been a truly beautiful journey; and I’m SO excited! Sharing my spiritual journey has been incredibly impactful not only for me personally, but it has deepened my connection with clients and allowed me to offer a more holistic approach to their growth and transformation.
This shift has not only enriched the depth and effectiveness of my work but has also empowered clients to explore and embrace their own spiritual paths, significantly amplifying their journeys toward reclaiming and revitalizing their lives!
What is one book you recommend, and why?
Brandy: I highly recommend the book, The Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod. This book aligns perfectly with my belief that if you want to experience different results in your life, you have to be willing to make those changes, one of those changes being your morning routine! It inspired me to shift from being a night owl to truly appreciating the power of mornings! Trust me, overcoming that challenge was not easy, haha! One of the key takeaways I took from this book is evaluating whether you’re committed to reaching your full potential and achieving limitless success or if you’re settling for less and hesitant to make lasting changes.
What are your top 3 favourite online apps, tools or resources and what do you love about them?
Brandy: Your Own Personal Journal — There’s incredible value in documenting your thoughts, feelings, and experiences! Writing things down not only helps you track your progress but also allows you to reflect and gain insights into your personal growth. The simple act of putting pen to paper can be very therapeutic and a way to process your emotions and ideas, while connecting with your higher self!
Pinterest — Absolutely PERFECT for creating vision boards and finding inspiration to manifest your dream life into reality! I love its ability to visually organize your ideas, which helps keep your goals in focus, making it easier to visualize and work towards them.
YouTube and Audible — These are tied for me. I’m always reading or listening to audiobooks and podcasts, connecting with people who share their knowledge, experiences, and stories on these platforms. Both provide a beautiful wealth of information and diverse perspectives. I love learning from individuals at various stages of their journeys, as these platforms can greatly expand your own understanding and growth. There’s always room for more lightworkers, teachers, and individual stories, there’s always more to discover and learn! Did I mention I’m a lifelong learner? Haha, I love it!!
In terms of legacy, what is the mark you’d like to leave on the world?
Brandy: Hand on my heart, I want to leave a legacy of empowerment and transformation. My goal is to help as many individuals as possible to reclaim their lives, embrace their spiritual journey, and step into their full potential. I hope to create a ripple effect of healing, love and understanding of every soul, and positive change that extends beyond my direct reach.
In one sentence, what’s the best advice you’d give to someone just starting out on their entrepreneurial journey?
Brandy: Begin by shifting your mindset to see challenges as opportunities and turning your dreams into actionable steps — you’ll be unstoppable!
