In our latest podcast episode, we sit down with Sandra (Sandy) Brandon, a recent graduate of the Passion to Profit course, who turned her personal challenges into a mission to uplift and inspire others. Sandy's business, Lens of Hope, supports individuals newly diagnosed with breast cancer and their families by fostering resilience and courage. Her story is a remarkable testament to perseverance, self-discovery, and the power of community.
Growing Up: A Foundation of Strength
Sandy’s journey was not without struggles. One of 8 children, she reflects on her upbringing with fond memories, but she found her identity in 'fitting in' - being the 'good girl' - developing her strengths of resilience, empathy and determination - but never really finding true belonging...
Approaching her 50th birthday, Sandy took a transformative three-month sabbatical to Bali, seeking clarity amid the emotional weight of unfulfilled dreams. There, she attended a retreat that redefined motherhood as nurturing and connection, helping her embrace her identity and find peace.
Two years later, in 2017, Sandy was slammed with another crisis: a breast cancer diagnosis shortly after the loss of her beloved mother.
From then, she began to reclaim her identity in unexpected ways. As chemotherapy took its toll, including the loss of her hair, Sandy found herself redefining what strength and beauty meant. What it means to be a woman. Reflecting on that transformative period, she shared,
“"I became very liberated. I became like I didn’t care what other people thought about me, and I felt strong and empowered, and I just felt like I didn’t have to live up to anybody else's idea of, you know, what I should look like."”
(Sandra Brandon)
This sense of empowerment fueled her journey forward. Sandy transformed adversity into an inspiring path of self-discovery and courage where she found liberation and authenticity in the face of great challenges.
