Brandy Ledford

Most people know Brandy Ledford from “Baywatch Hawaii,” “Andromeda,” or her from her glossy magazine covers. What they don’t know is the battle she was fighting in silence—one that started when she was just 14 years old and carried on for more than two decades.

Today, with 13 years of sobriety, Brandy isn’t just surviving, she’s thriving. Her journey is a raw, powerful reminder that recovery isn’t a one-time choice, it’s a daily commitment.

What you’ll take away from her journey:

  • Recovery isn’t a finish line—it’s a rhythm. Brandy follows a daily routine with unwavering commitment, showing that healing happens one choice at a time.

  • Vulnerability is power. By refusing to hide and in sharing her story, she’s discovered that authenticity is the foundation for real freedom.

  • Letting go brings peace. Her mantra,  If it’s not for me, it’s not FOR me, is a reminder to release what doesn’t belong and lean into what does.

Brandy’s story isn’t about fame. It’s about faith, resilience, and the kind of strength you only find on the other side of struggle.

Episode airs Wednesday, October 8, 2025 at 12 p.m. ET.
