Hi! Welcome to my little corner of the world.

I am Brandi Cox, a wife to Jamie and mother to Braden (14) & Avery (7). I was born and raised in Eastern Kentucky, more precisely a little town named Neon. For the last twenty years Wise, VA has been my home. Since moving here, I completed my bachelor’s in business administration from King University while raising Braden and working full time. It was a difficult time, but I am grateful that I persevered. 

While pursuing my degree, I was blessed to work for and support cancer patients in Southwest Virginia by working as a Patient Advocate at the Southwest Virginia Cancer Center and Community Manager at the American Cancer Society. The inspiration I gleaned from the cancer patients and their families will forever be held in my heart. These individuals truly taught me to embrace the day. 

Prior to being a stay-at-home mom, I worked as an Entrepreneurship Coordinator at the University of Virginia’s College at Wise. Working with an exceptional department in the Office of Economic Development and the driven small business owners, I understood what it meant to embody tenacity and grit. Both careers have provided both personal and professional growth that I still rely on today. 

After leaving the business world seven years ago, I focused on my family, friends, and myself. I am a full-time chauffer to two kids who have far too many plans. I am a professional cook and despiser of laundry. Seriously, being a SAHM has its advantages and disadvantages just as anything else does. I am grateful that I can always be available for both of my kids and allow them to chase their dreams. 

In our free time our family enjoys visiting historical sights and museums, going hiking, and visiting Dollywood.  

I am an aspiring author with my first book, Left in Better Hands, scheduled to release in Spring 2022. Left in Better Hands makes use of memories from my past to discuss how addiction, adoption, death, and suicide affected my life’s trajectory. Through my path of forgiveness and understanding I realized that I was indeed exactly where and with whom I was supposed to be.
