About Brenda
Brenda Garrison, the founder of Unruffled Mind, has always believed that the most profound growth comes through navigating life’s transitions and challenges. Her journey has been shaped by significant change and trauma, both personally and professionally. These experiences have forged her resilience and deepened her empathy, driving her passion for helping others.
From her very first teaching job, Brenda felt a calling to support and guide individuals through their own transitions. As she raised her children, she learned the importance of balance, patience, and perseverance. These lessons were invaluable as she grew into an educational leader, where she had the privilege of assisting hundreds of people—teachers, principals, and parents—through their own unique challenges.
Throughout her career, Brenda has relied on her significant amount of learned and lived experiences to provide genuine, effective support. Each interaction reinforced her belief in the power of understanding and compassionate guidance. She saw firsthand how powerful conversations could ignite personal transformation and help people set and achieve challenging goals.
These experiences inspired Brenda to establish Unruffled Mind, where she dedicates herself to meeting people where they are, facilitating meaningful dialogue, and encouraging personal growth. Her mission is to empower others to navigate their journeys with confidence, resilience, and a renewed sense of purpose.
