Hello, I’m Octavia Brooks
My mission is to empower 100,000 courageous entrepreneurs to become influential leaders from catalyzing relationship & internal challenges so they can HAVE FUN expanding maximum positive impact and revenues.
There’s a reason I’ve been confidante, ass-kicker, insight catalyst, and spiritual mentor to hundreds of leaders and entrepreneurs and thousands of students. After trouble-shooting their barriers to success for years, they finally found a solution: my unique blend of ancient and modern neuroscience.
When You’re Confidently Creating Advantageous Relationships with Yourself & Others:
- Your team is as aligned & passionate for your vision as you are.
- Every interaction with others creates your intended result: understanding, interest, a sale, agreement, excitement, connection.
- Your personal relationships support your entrepreneurial journey.
- You instinctively avoid toxic people.
- You treat yourself with respect even when you lose.
- Your confidence is so solid you command respect through golden words.
- You stay productive and focused.
…I Bet You Can Relate to my Story
Like 70% of entrepreneurs, I had a less-than-ideal childhood with a little birth trauma, some mental & emotional abuse, narcissistic parents, etc etc. Even though I graduated cum laude from UC Berkeley, I was severely co-dependent with low self-esteem and I RAN from my feelings through love and work addictions, and one toxic relationship after another.
My personal development started in the 1980’s San Francisco Punk Rock movement. The pounding rhythmic music met the anguish I felt inside…we all worked it out in the pit.
The Berkeley Psychic Institute and 20 years as a pagan priestess formed my intuition and the release/receive rituals told my psychology…”I’ve stopped that sh*t, and I’m starting over.”
I continued seeking solutions during my corporate career as an IT project manager. I was a decent leader, but I was uptight and did a lot of pretending.
I sought to save myself with entrepreneurship, but my internal mess showed up as expensive self-sabotage in my business and relationships. Progress was slowwww…
My Solution Arrived…the Ancient Neuroscience of Indigenous Protocols + Modern Neuroscience
After yet another nasty breakup in my 30’s, early mentor Marilyn King PhD showed me an indigenous method (shamanic journeys) for permanent emotional relief that smoothed out my personality flaws and bad choices.
Through her mentoring, I discovered my talent for going deeper than any therapist to quickly remove subconscious trauma, like pulling a thorn out of the lion’s paw.
After using shamanic journeys as a form of alternative mental health, clients resolve their pre-verbal reservoirs of suffering (from common traumas such as breastfeeding delay or other feeding issues) and reported:
- More compassion and better communication in relationships
- A sustained internal peace and elevated mood like never before, with reduced anxiety and depression
- Dramatically reduced resistance and self-sabotage while building their business
- Clarity for trusted decision-making
- Inner authority and confidence, improving sales and leadership
Ancient neuroscience creates the neuro-plasticity to more easily and permanently retrain the brain into positive mind-maps. You can finally trust your instincts to push you in the happy directions you want to live in.
From my more recent neuroscience coaching certification through OptiMind Institute, I train clients in modern neuroscience strategies that reliably sustain flow states of productivity, motivation and creativity.
This all adds up to INFLUENTIAL LEADERSHIP.
Why I Work Mainly with Men
I have compassion for men because when you’re down, society says stuff your feelings and “man up.” You never get emotional resolution and you die younger (not to mention much higher rates of suicide.)
Good Men are taken advantage of every day. It pisses me off. The punk rocker in me wants Justice!
Yes, men have some advantages in society; because of this there’s a vibe that they deserve the punishment when they’re going through a tough time.
NO ONE deserves to be kicked when they’re down.
Men deserve support through the tough times so they can enjoy great relationships, scaling their business and expanding their positive impact. More male leaders with heart and soul, please!
Healthy, integrated masculinity makes the world a MUCH better place.
Sending High Fives to all the Good Men out there! I appreciate you!
PS – Many good-hearted women entrepreneurs are also taken advantage of…by bad relationships & unrealistic demands that suck them out of their femininity, purpose and business leadership potential. Oh grrrrl, I’ve been there! I got your back, let’s get you on track.
No More Tug of War Between Your Relationship and Your Business
Ancient and Modern Neuroscience dramatically increase your workday efficiency. Because of this, clients have time for the relationship of their dreams. With this loving support at home, they lean into their greater potential and achieve bigger dreams.
Your mission as an entrepreneur is IMPORTANT to the health of humanity and our planet. And your mission can be a lot more FUN!
