Brandie's Story: 

You may be curious about the person behind a community brand like PsyChicks and what makes her a leader to follow and invest in if you are thinking about joining the PsyChicks Collective.

Well, before PsyChicks was started, and before she was a marketing professional in the helping, healing, and holistic arena, Brandie herself had a spiritual awakening experience that deeply affected her life and put her on the path to founding this community.

A typical 2000s teen, Brandie was first introduced to mysticism and the metaphysical through popular “witchy trends.” Practical Magic, Harry Potter, Lord of The Rings, and other imagination-tickling media were her gateway, leading to a phase of Ouija Boards, Tarot Cards, Spell Casting, and a lot of daydreaming about “what if magic was real.” These adolescent fascinations and unsupervised access to the internet led Brandie to spend hours on fantasy web forums interacting with other young people who enjoyed these things as well. It was less of a spiritual journey at the time and more of a connection with similar spirits, but eventually, she would understand the synchronicities and how her life path would come full circle.

If you grew up in the 90s and 2000s, you can also probably relate to the various sub-niches and genres related to mysticism. If you are interested in the metaphysical for personal development and wellness now, you probably enjoyed it back then because it stimulated your imagination and made you feel like less of a misfit. Online web forums and chatrooms were the Facebook Groups of that time. Many members of the PsyChicks Community are nostalgic for this era, and when Brandie founded PsyChicks, she was aspiring to recapture the tone of the online communities that she frequented in her youth.

It was not all just fantasy and fun for Brandie in her younger years, though. Unfortunately, by age 14, she struggled with mental health, depression, self-image, and nihilism. The positive things that entertained her spirit during this time also had her connecting with other troubled young people in the emo and goth genres. Her chronically online lifestyle didn’t always surround her with positive influences.

Sadly, by the time she was a young adult at age eighteen, she experienced a tragic event—the suicide of her boyfriend—that traumatized her and understandably put her into a grief spiral. When therapy and counseling left many existential questions unanswered, Brandie pursued support in the same online communities where her various entertainment interests had once been indulged. Riddled with sadness and a deep desire for closure, she was generously supported by mediums and spiritual mentors from these communities. It wasn’t clear at the time, but later on, when coming up with the vision for PsyChicks, she remembered how much compassion, care, knowledge, and kindness had been shown to her by these people during this time in her life.

Brandie eventually came through her grief and progressed forward into her adult life, completing her education and starting down the path of becoming a freelancer who worked online. She had built a successful body image and self-esteem blog and was starting to be asked by people in her online network who had businesses if she could help them market those; and so she became a blogger for hire and content strategist assisting people with their WordPress Websites and SEO. In 2012, she became fully self-employed through her first online business and began working as a white-label provider for an SEO agency. This position provided her with experience and mentorship, and by 2014 she was promoted to a strategy and sales position where she would educate small business owners about the potential of SEO to sell the company’s packages. In 2016, Brandie decided to go out on her own and founded her agency, BP Creative Marketing Strategies.

This agency was originally focused on search engine optimization but pivoted to provide support with social media advertising and web funnels when digital marketing trends evolved. Because Brandie’s initial client base was from her personal network, many of them were operating businesses in the helping and healing industry. This became the industry that Brandie specialized in, working behind the scenes assisting clients with their social media ad campaigns, audience building, email marketing, website optimization, and content flow. She continued to operate this agency until September of 2024 when she shifted her focus to PsyChicks full-time. One of the reasons why Brandie is able to help her PsyChicks Collective members be more successful with their businesses is because of her experience and deep understanding of what it takes to build a successful online business and the unique considerations of marketing in the metaphysical arena.

There are other synchronicities to Brandie’s story as well. She has never stopped being curious about the mystical and unseen nature of the universe. Her own spiritual awakening began when she went through the grief of losing her young love to suicide and led her on a many-years-long healing journey to naturally heal her mental health, build personal resilience, learn to trust her intuition, improve her self-image and self-esteem, live bravely, pursue freedom through entrepreneurship, and be an empowering and compassionate leader. Brandie has evolved and experienced a lot on her journey to date, and she feels deeply passionate about the power of healing through community and the magic that happens when a person is empowered toward self-love and self-trust. PsyChicks is an expression of what Brandie wished to express and her purpose for going through the things that she has up until now: to bring people together with their common interests and understanding so they can be encouraged and witnessed in their authenticity. The reason why she works so devotedly on her entrepreneurial venture PsyChicks is because she believes that “we should create the things that we wish existed in the world.” As a leader of the PsyChicks Collective, Brandie tries to be an example of strong, empathetic, light-led leadership. If you choose to join the PsyChicks Community or sign up for the collective, you will get to know her kind, caring, passionate, and devoted nature.
