Meet your Executive Coach
"I am an everyday person just like you, so we can relate!"
Why work with me…because I am an everyday person just like you, so we can relate!
I am a proud wife, mother, grandma (well, Grandma B is what they call me 😊), and an entrepreneur who is passionate and enthusiastic about the work I do. I’ve always had the pull to serve others and make a positive impact within communities through my work. From working more than twenty years as a Registered Nurse to founding Woman Strong - a women’s empowerment movement, I have continuously sought ways to transform my lived experiences, knowledge, and insight into solutions that others can benefit from.
As the Executive Coach of Brandy Mills Consulting, I am dedicated to helping individuals, teams, organizations, companies, and corporations get to the Business of Leading themselves through their next level of Growth. I have been doing Business, Leadership, and Growth work for over a decade. With 13 years of clinical leadership and organizational operations experience in a healthcare setting and close to eight years of personal business leadership operation experience, I’ve acquired a keen understanding of the highs and lows that come with it all.
I've developed a love for working with others through coaching, consultation, and partnerships to assist them in facing challenges head-on using an individualized approach to strategic thinking, goal setting, and implementation. I believe in providing a coaching/consulting experience that supports, inspires, and motivates my clients to put in the work necessary to achieve their personal definitions of success.
My work has afforded me the honor of receiving awards, nominations, recognition, and features in articles and local news publications over the years.

However, what brings me the most joy is knowing that my achievements have inspired others to embark on their journeys towards success. My ultimate goal is to motivate others into massive action, just like my mentors did for me.
Outside of the work that I do with clients like you, I have a deep love for connecting with and encouraging youth, teens, and young adults. I’ve had the pleasure of leading various initiatives, volunteering in schools and organizations committed to uplifting and empowering this population, and serving as a mentor.

Is my donation tax-deductible?At this time, Woman Strong is not a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, which means donations to the Woman Strong Self Care Scholarship are not tax-deductible as charitable contributions under IRS guidelines. However, that doesn’t make your gift any less impactful. Your donation goes directly toward supporting real women who are prioritizing their well-being...many for the first time. While contributions can’t be claimed as tax deductions, you may still be able to categorize your donation as a sponsorship, marketing expense, or community goodwill initiative. We recommend consulting with your accountant or tax professional to determine if and how your support can be recognized as a business expense. If you're a business interested in sponsoring the fund, we’re happy to: Acknowledge your sponsorship on our website or social media Include your logo in promotional materials Offer shoutouts during events or fundraisers These benefits may make your sponsorship eligible as a marketing or advertising deduction depending on your situation.

The amount could cover self-care experiences such as a full manicure or pedicure, partial payment for a workshop, therapy session, event, etc. We aim to provide enough financial support to make a significant impact on the recipient’s well-being.

How often is the scholarship awarded?The frequency of awards depends on available funding. We aim to offer the scholarship at least monthly, with the potential for more frequent awards as funds grow.
