We had the good fortune of connecting with Brandie Speed and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Brandie, we’d love for you to start things off by telling us something about your industry that we and others not in the industry might be unaware of?
In my business industry most people are unaware of how the main objective is to heal. Often people like to bring religion into what I do failing to realize religion has nothing to do with healing trauma and evolution.Through Spiritual practices such as meditation and yoga healing is brought about to bring One’s power back to self.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.

I never in a million years thought that what I am currently doing now would become a business. I started my metaphysical/spiritual business through healing and that was a journey in itself, overcoming emotional and physical abuse, self hate, toxic relationships, and mastering motherhood. I actually wrote a book titled Breathe B*tch Breathe which I will drop in December 2022 highlighting alot of my experiences as a mom of 6, stepping out on faith and using meditation to stay in gratitude. All of my struggles and trauma the notion of healing felt unreachable but I did it, I healed and became whole, that’s when I realized I wasn’t alone and there are many women going through the same experiencs. I wanted to be the one to help, I wanted to show women everywhere that everything The Creator put here has a purpose to help us heal whether it’s affirmations, herbs, crystals, nature it all can be used to cure and heal. New Age Namaste was birthed in 2017 starting with a box of sage, but has now grown offering meditation and yoga services, crystals, candles, smudges and protection jewelery to help get and keep ya energy right! It’s been challenging introducing this lifestyle to society but I believe in my brand because I was my own client once upon a time. I used these tools to get to where I am now, un-fu!kwithable!

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.

As a LA native, I’ve lived in other States but nothing tops LA’s food and . First stop would have to be Malibu beach the water is so blue, the scenery is everything. Definitely would have to take a trip to Off the Hook Restaurant in Los Alamitos for the best and freshest seafood ever. I couldn’t let them leave without hiking a trail, Creek trailhead in Rancho Cucamonga is my favorite although it’s strenuous once you get to the water at the top it’s magical, Perch Downtown LA rooftop is another one of my favorites for some LA nightlife. I have become a bit of an introvert over the years so I enjoy a lot of alone time that would have to conclude the excursion.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?

This journey was not easy I definitely dedicate my journey and success to the author of the book 7 masters 1 path John Selby that was my introduction to my meditation, purpose and growth. My tribe, the feminine spirits that trusted me to lead and guide them on their journey giving me the opportunity to walk in my purpose.
