A small, steady place to heal what's underneath
For business owners, leaders, and aspiring leaders who have lived through real trauma — abuse, abandonment, betrayal by the people who were supposed to love them — and are still carrying it. Let's start with a conversation.

If you're here, something has probably been heavy for a while.
You don't have to explain it all right now. You don't have to have it figured out. You just need a place to begin — and someone who won't rush you.
So let me go first, because I'm not going to ask you to be honest with me if I'm not honest with you.
I grew up with a single narcissistic parent and faced emotional, physical, and sexual abuse from the time I was 5. I battled anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts, and I didn't know if I would make it to 18. I was homeless before I turned 25.
It's so easy to want to give up when no one knows how much you're suffering.
That's why I do this work. So whatever you've been through, you won't shock me, and you won't be judged here. You're safe to show up exactly as you are.
I have thought about ending my life several times growing up because I felt I didn't matter. I felt like I wasn't good enough and that no one cared. When you've been abused and betrayed so many times, it's hard to not think that, but I've learned something about life that keeps me alive today and I want to teach you what it means to really be alive and how to find your way through the darkness and into the Light.
It's my mission to gently hold the hand of anyone who has experienced trauma and feels stuck — and help them move forward. Not by rushing you, and not by pretending it didn't happen, but by helping you understand why you feel the way you do, so you can finally do something about it.
For many of the business owners, leaders, and aspiring leaders I work with, the hardest part isn't the work. It's carrying everything underneath it — the old hurt, the patterns that keep repeating, the exhaustion of holding it together for everyone else. And it's rarely just one thing. What happened in the past shows up in how you lead, how you love, how you rest, and how you talk to yourself. When we only fix what's on the surface, the same patterns find their way back.
Discover the Power Within is where we slow down and look at what's underneath, together. It's deep work, and it's honest work. We go at a pace your nervous system can actually hold.
But before you join anything, I want to hear from you. Where you are right now matters — so let's start with a short, private conversation about what you're carrying and what kind of support would really help.
P.S. You don't need the right words for the call. "I'm not sure where to start" is a perfectly good place to begin.
Is any of this you?
- You're stressed, overwhelmed, and tired… but you still show up like everything's fine.
- You overthink the smallest things because you're used to being blamed, judged, or misunderstood.
- You're the one people rely on… but you don't really have that same support back.
- You say yes when you want to say no because you feel like you have no choice.
- You try to rest, slow down, or take a break… but your mind doesn't shut off.
- You want to trust others but have a hard time doing it.
- The same patterns keep showing up in new situations.
- You've tried to figure it out on your own but still feel stuck.
You've been doing your best to figure this out on your own… and a lot of this didn't just start recently.
- Growing up with a parent who wasn't there for you physically or emotionally
- Having to grow up fast or take on responsibilities that a parent would normally be responsible for
- Being manipulated, gaslit, or trapped in a trauma bond
- Psychological, physical, or sexual abuse
- Being abandoned or betrayed by the people who were supposed to love and protect you
- Seasons where you were in a dark place — feeling lonely, broken, and never good enough
It's not because something is wrong with you. Many of these patterns started as a way to get through what you went through. More information isn't what's missing. Support, understanding, and a guided path forward are — and that's exactly what I'm here to give you.
Hear it from the people who've done the work
“I was hesitant because… I've been hurt. I've tried to see other coaches, and I felt like they took my money and just ran with it. But it was different with Coach Brandi because you could see the heart behind her voice.”
“In one short sentence, it changed my life even though it was only a couple of months long.”
“This is the best decision I’ve made, besides getting married and having kids.”
What we'll work through together
Live workshops with me on Zoom. Each one stands on its own, so you can begin wherever you are — with your camera on or off.

Get Coached on What Came Up
Live Q&A coaching where you bring your questions and get coached on applying what you're learning to your real life.
Small by design
This isn't a big, loud program. It's a small group, which means you're seen, your questions get answered, and you get real time with me.
You don't have to share or be on camera unless you want to be coached. You're welcome to simply listen until you're ready.
Your first step is simple
When you're already carrying a lot, the last thing you need is to figure everything out alone. So we'll figure out your next step together.
Book your free call
Choose a time that works for you. It's 15 minutes, and it's free.
Tell me what's going on
We'll talk about what you're carrying, what you've tried, and what you want to feel instead.
Know your next step
If the Community is the right fit, I'll walk you through how to join. If it isn't, we'll talk about what would serve you better.
Coach Brandi Kiana-Jo
I've been coaching since 2015 and have coached more than 1,000 people. As a trauma-informed coach, I help you look beneath the obvious problem — at the patterns you may not recognize, and at how your past, your work, your relationships, and your faith affect one another — so real change can finally hold.
I've walked through anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts from my own trauma. I know how heavy it can be, I know it can get lighter, and I'll go gently with you.
Questions you might have
What happens on the Alignment Call?
It's a free, private 15-minute conversation with me. We talk about what's going on for you and whether the DPW Community is the right support for where you are right now.
What if I'm not ready?
That's okay. Booking a call doesn't commit you to anything. It's simply a place to start.
What does it cost?
We'll go over the membership options together on your call, so you can choose what fits you.
Do I have to share or be on camera?
No. You're welcome to keep your camera off and simply listen. You only need to speak up if you'd like to be coached.
Is this therapy?
No. This is trauma-informed coaching — it can work alongside therapy, but it isn't treatment or crisis care. Learn the difference. If you're in crisis or having thoughts of suicide, please call or text 988 (in the U.S.) right away.
What if I miss a live session?
Replays are available for 7 days, and each workshop stands on its own, so you never fall behind.
Six months from now will come either way.
Waiting won't make it lighter. The only question is whether you'll still be carrying it alone — or whether you'll have the tools, the support, and a coach in your corner.
There's a reason you feel the way you do. Let's figure it out together.
You don't have to decide everything today. Just take the first step — a free, 15-minute conversation with me.
