My Journey of

Self-Discovery

and Service

By Dr. Brittany McCoy

Growing up the eldest of six children was no sprint,
but a marathon. A marathon which provided so
many blessings and lessons. Let me explain… The
discipline to be a role model, the strength to
overcome, and the inspiration to transform lives
starting with myself.

By my senior year in high school, I was in eight
different organizations from the Battalion
Commander in JROTC to the Beta Club (and that’s
no exaggeration). To put it simply, I was an
entrepreneur before I even knew what it truly
meant.

In college, I again, got my hands on everything that I
could, and all of those experiences led me to the
transformational coach that I am today. Exciting
right? Well, my journey was not full of flowers or a
straight path. You see, what I didn’t mention before
is that I am a first-generation college student,
graduate, doctor, and entrepreneur. I also didn’t
mention that even though I managed so much, I
carried so much anxiety and the burdens of others. I
cared about what others thought and that was heavy
to carry as well.
