In 2009, after being diagnosed with a rare form of cancer, Ewing Sarcoma, Brandi fought to overcome her diagnosis, heal after her treatments, and reclaimed her life through therapy, physical activities, and other healthy-living practices.

Through her speaking engagements and signature topic “Overcoming The Enemy Inside You” culled from the title of her acclaimed book, Brandi transforms the lives of her audience by encouraging them to pursue different avenues of physical and mental therapy to take charge of their healing and wellness, and highlights the importance of a strong support system, and resiliency. 

Brandi has had the pleasure of speaking for Rolls-Royce, Guy Carpenter, Subsea 7, SNOW Companies, Bristol Myers Squibb, Kevin Hines, Smith & Nephew, LSP3, Salesforce and many more.

Her mission is to provide an effective blueprint of strategies and resources that survivors, their loved ones and anyone struggling with “an enemy” in whatever form, take charge of their healing and wellness.

17 year old Kheilani Castaneda describes allegedly being drugged, kidnapped and raped in an empty barracks room on Fort Bliss.  According to Kheilani, she was out at a bar on September 10, 2022 when she suddenly blacked out and woke up as three Fort Bliss soldiers were trying to put her in the trunk of their car to smuggle her on base where she would later be raped multiple times by one of the soldiers.  The incident was recorded and distributed by this soldier.  Kheilani describes reporting the rape to Army CID, but felt like they spent more time investigating her than they did the soldier.  At one point, they attempted to blame the bruises she had on an innocent soldier as well as threatened to press charges against her if she shared her story publicly.  Multiple people have since reached out to Kheilani describing similar situations with the accused soldier and his friends group.  She is sharing her story in hopes that the Army will reopen the case so that justice may be served and to prevent other women from experiencing the same.
