Our Story

Hi! I’m Brooke Powers, and I created powers that be from a genuine desire to help people feel more supported in the pace of their everyday lives.

Growing up the youngest in a large, busy Boston family, I saw firsthand the constant coordination and care required to keep daily life running. The chaos around me became my comfort zone and my favorite challenge. As I’ve gotten older and watched how much faster modern life has become, that same instinct has turned into a calling: to bring more ease, order, and humanity to the way we live.

My professional life has been built on that same foundation. For over seven years, I led projects and supported executives in fast-paced, high-pressure industries including investment banking, cybersecurity, and most recently, global leadership consulting at Korn Ferry. Whether juggling client needs or syncing multiple teams, I got used to keeping a lot of moving parts running smoothly. Those skills now translate seamlessly into the homes and lives I support.

​

Outside of work, I’ve always gravitated toward helping others in quieter ways: nannying, volunteering with seniors, and caring for dogs. The throughline has always been care, making sure people and animals feel seen, steady, and taken care of.

powers that be grew out of that mix of structure and heart, pairing the mindset of a project manager with the warmth of a caretaker. It’s how I help life run smoother for real people and families with a lot on their plates. I have seen the toll it takes trying to carry the weight of keeping everything together, and I love helping to make that weight lighter for others. 

Our Vision

Let’s be honest: modern life asks a lot of us. It moves very fast and often feels fragmented. Many of us are carrying far more than anyone can see. We’re expected to excel at work, care for our families, maintain our homes, our health, and still find space to feel grounded and whole. What once took a village now rests on a few shoulders, and somewhere along the way, we began to accept that as normal.

powers that be was created to change that. Our vision is to rebuild the modern village through genuine partnership and steady support. We believe structure and care belong together. Precision and empathy can coexist. When they do, life begins to flow again.

Our work reaches beyond organization or restocking. It’s about creating sustainability for the humans at the center of it all; the ones who deserve to slow down and enjoy their lives. The future we’re building is one where no one carries it all alone. Help feels natural and not shameful. Support becomes a quiet form of luxury, the kind that returns time, calm, and ease to the people who need it most.
