Discover the Power Within™
A Tailored Trauma-Informed Coaching Program for Business Owners & Leaders

You carry everyone else… but who's been carrying you?

If you're strong on the outside but exhausted, overthinking and still carrying what happened to you on the inside, this page was written for you. Take a breath, and read it slowly.

A member's story

She was where you might be right now.

Press play to hear what she experienced inside Discover the Power Within, in her own words.

Who this is for

  • Business owners and leaders who carry a lot of responsibility
  • High-functioning but overwhelmed behind the scenes
  • Have tried to figure it out on their own but still feel stuck
  • Ready for real support—not just more information

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 work harder than everyone around you… and somehow it still feels like you're carrying more
  • 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 keep the peace by holding back how you really feel
  • You've cried in private because you don't feel understood… or you don't even know how to explain it
  • You give a lot to others… but don't always feel like it's returned in the same way
  • Sometimes you feel like a doormat and have been taken advantage of
  • You feel like you have to be strong all the time… even when you're exhausted
  • 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

You've been doing your best to figure this out on your own… and it's just not working the way you hoped.

And a lot of this didn't just start recently…

This is especially for you
if you've experienced:

  • 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 bullied or controlled to feel less than
  • Being manipulated, gaslit, or trapped in a trauma bond
  • Was psychologically, physically, or sexually abused

  • Was abandoned or rejected by those you were there for when you needed them the most
  • Being in environments where you had to stay on guard because you weren't physically safe
  • Being in relationships where you had to shrink yourself just to keep things from falling apart
  • Going through seasons where you were in a dark place; feeling lonely, broken, and never good enough
Here's what no one told you

It's not because something is wrong with you.

The overthinking. The people-pleasing. Holding it all together while quietly falling apart. For a lot of us, these patterns started as a way to get through what we went through. They made sense back then.

But what once protected you may now be what's keeping you stuck: in your relationships, your business, and the way you see yourself.

More information isn't what's missing. Support, understanding and a guided path forward are.

I know, because I've been there. 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.

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.

That's exactly why I created the Discover the Power Within™ Community.

It's time for a positive change.

Let's Discover the Power Within.

Introducing the DPW Community

Discover the Power Within™

A trauma-informed coaching experience for business owners and leaders.

To work through what's been weighing on you—so you can move forward with clarity, confidence, and support.

Learn how to let go of what no longer serves you so you can graciously move on and manifest the life you want to live.

The Trust Factor program
Part 1 · Weeks 1–4

The Trust Factor™

This is for the part of you that's been hurt, let down, or taken advantage of—and doesn't fully trust the way you used to. Inside this program, we focus on:

  • How betrayal, broken promises, and being taken advantage of shaped the way you trust yourself and others
  • Rebuild trust in yourself and others again without repeating the past
  • Create healthy boundaries and communicate clearly so your relationships feel more stable, balanced, and aligned
Part 2 ¡ Week 5 on

Discover the Power Within™

This is where we work through what's been holding you back—from childhood and parental trauma, to self-sabotage, anger, loneliness, and that deep sadness you don't always talk about.

It's not just about mindset. It's about understanding why you feel the way you do… and learning how to actually move through it. Inside this program, we focus on helping you:

  • Understand how to navigate through childhood trauma and discover how your beliefs impact your experience
  • Learn practical steps to move forward so you're not stuck thinking about change—you're actually creating it
  • Break patterns like self-sabotage, overthinking, and intrusive thoughts that keep pulling you back into old habits
  • Work through anger, emotional triggers, and unresolved feelings that still come up in your daily life
  • Navigate family dynamics, parental trauma, and relationships without losing yourself in the process
  • Build emotional strength so when life gets hard again, you know how to handle it with grace and empowerment

Imagine six months from now

When you have the right support:

  • You're no longer second-guessing yourself
  • You understand why you think, feel, and react the way you do
  • You stop self-sabotaging and start creating healthy boundaries
  • You feel more grounded instead of overwhelmed
  • You stop carrying everything on your own
  • You trust yourself to make clear, confident decisions
  • You feel understood, supported, and not alone
  • You break patterns that have been keeping you stuck
A woman breathing calmly with her eyes closed
You're at a crossroads

Six months from now will come either way

If nothing changes

  • You keep holding it all together on your own
  • The same patterns keep showing up in new situations
  • You keep overthinking what happened and what to do next
  • You keep telling yourself you'll deal with it "someday"

If you start today

  • You have live coaching twice a week, every week
  • You finish both programs at a pace that actually sticks
  • You have people in your corner who understand
  • You finally understand why, and what to do differently

What clients say

"I never thought I'd be able to let go of the weight I was carrying"

★★★★★

"Three months ago, I was barely able to get myself out of bed and in one of the darkest places I've ever been in my life. I felt so alone and unworthy. I've learned that I am worthy and that I am loved… I never thought I'd be able to let go of the weight that I was carrying… And I'm so grateful for Brandi and this program because I wouldn't be here without her and her guidance and support."

Lauryn MadeiraHawaiʝi ¡ Discover the Power Within student
★★★★★

"I have worked with coach Brandi for almost a year now and took The Discover the Power Within Program twice… We get to the core of the problem quickly so we can work on how to move forward. I love the lifeline exercise as this really helps me understand my childhood and my parents without resenting it… I am so excited to live my life without feeling guilty and resentment."

Ida SmithDiscover the Power Within student
★★★★★

"From the very first session, she created a safe and supportive environment that allowed me to open up and explore my goals and talk about my challenges… Her insight and encouragement helped me gain clarity on areas of my life where I felt stuck and motivated me to take meaningful action… Working with her has been one of the best decisions I've made for my personal growth."

Kenji Y.Yelp review
★★★★★

"Brandi is very empathetic and her insights in to how I was engaged in the course topics helped me to step up and invest the time, the effort and dig deep in to myself to see the barriers I was creating for myself and how to navigate through them and grow… I have had other life coaches, they have not come close to the growth I have seen and sustained under Brandi."

Drew P.Yelp review
★★★★★

"Working with Brandi has been one of the best decisions I've ever made… One thing I absolutely love about her is her willingness to work with you through ANYTHING with patience & understanding… She truly meets you where you're at in any situation and guides you to a version of yourself that you can sustain… Working with her has truly changed my life."

"For one to understand the light, one must've walked in the dark."

I have a lot of stories to tell, but here's a chapter. I was born in Guam and raised in Guam, Washington, and HawaiĘťi. I grew up with a single narcissistic parent and faced emotional, physical, and sexual abuse since I was 5. Moving several times and going to 10 different schools, instability was a BIG issue.

While battling anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts, I didn't know if I could make it to age 18. I coped with drugs and alcohol, fell into debt, and became homeless before I turned 25. Later, in my 30s, I faced chronic nerve pain.

After overcoming all of that, I went on a mission to help people through what I understand so well.

So whatever you've been through, you won't shock me, and I won't judge you. You're safe here.

I am not a million-dollar coach. I am a real person who had faced, overcame, and made it my mission to help those who have experienced real trauma overcome this so they can be the leader they were always meant to be.

Coach Brandi leading a workshop

For the past 11 years

I've supported people who feel like they have to carry everything on their own. People who are strong on the outside—but exhausted, overwhelmed, and stuck on the inside.

I've worked with hundreds of clients around the world, across 15+ industries, helping them move through what felt impossible to shift.

My work has been featured in over 20 media publications and trusted by nonprofits and brands like Bai and Lyft—but what matters most is this: You don't have to keep doing this alone.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What if I can't make the live sessions?
That's okay. Available workshop replays and resources are posted in the community, and you can use Questions for Coach Brandi between sessions. Live sessions are Tuesdays 5:00–6:30 PM HST and Saturdays 8:00–9:30 AM HST.
How long does it take to complete both programs?
The full Trust Factor + Discover the Power Within curriculum is paced over about 5½ months. You start with The Trust Factor in your first 4 weeks, and beginning in Week 5 a new DPW Day is released each week. That's why the 6-month membership is recommended.
What's the difference between Monthly, 3 Months and 6 Months?
Nothing inside the membership changes. Every option includes full access to The Trust Factor from day one and both programs. Discover the Power Within is released one DPW Day of exercises per week, so it takes about 5½ months to work through everything. That's why 6 months is the recommended pace. Monthly and 3 Months are simply easier ways to pay, and 6 Months saves you the most.
I'm not sure I'm ready. What if I'm not good at opening up?
You don't have to share anything before you're ready. Many members start by listening, watching the program videos and doing the exercises privately. You go at your own pace, and the support is there when you want it.
Can I cancel?
Yes. You can cancel anytime from your account under Settings > Billing. Your access continues through the end of your current paid period, and your membership won't renew. Memberships renew automatically at the same rate until canceled.
I already own The Trust Factor or Discover the Power Within. Is there an option for me?
Yes. Past Trust Factor and Discover the Power Within clients have a dedicated Legacy Course Owner membership. Please reach out and I'll send you your private enrollment link.
Is this therapy?
No. The DPW Community is a trauma-informed coaching and educational program. It isn't therapy, counseling, or medical or mental-health treatment, and it isn't a substitute for working with a licensed professional. Many members find coaching works well alongside other support they already have.

P.S. If you scrolled straight to the bottom, here's what matters: the DPW Community gives you live coaching twice a week, both The Trust Factor™ and Discover the Power Within™, replays and a community that understands, paced over about six months so the changes actually last. The 6-month membership is the one I recommend. See the membership options.
