In this powerful first episode of Local Legends: Arizona Edition, I sit down with Brandi Powell, founder of Village of the Valley—an Arizona-based nonprofit committed to helping women heal and rebuild after experiencing abuse. Brandi opens up about her own journey, the moment she knew she had to create something bigger than herself, and how Village of the Valley became a safe haven for women seeking hope, healing, and community.

This conversation is raw, emotional, and deeply inspiring. Brandi’s heart for women and her passion for change will leave you moved and motivated to support the mission.

If you’ve ever wondered how purpose is born from pain, this episode is for you.
