I was sitting in the sun on my porch this morning thinking about my personal WHY.

Why did I start my own business?
Why did I choose to leave my job as a Designer in corporate six years ago?

It was a LIFESTYLE choice.

I wanted :
⚡️More simple moments that were connected to my true values.
⚡️To own my own time & schedule (this was a bid one!).
⚡️More space for creativity (that wasn't connected to a commercial brief).
⚡️Freedom & location independence (meaning I didn't want to be limitied to a big city for work and could make $$ from anywhere I chose to live).

My life is by no means perfect but I try to consciously take moments like this to reflect so I can stay connected to my why & truth.
..and not have my ego take-over telling me that my unconventional career "isn't enough" or whatever other BS it likes to spin on me to disconnect me from my truth!

I'm curious...Does your job or business currently support your ideal lifestyle?
The lifestyle that's YOUR DEFINITION of succuss and probably nobody elses?!

Or are you staying stuck in some soul-sucking job waiting for that "one day" to take the leap? 🤔

Comment below, I'd love to know! ❤️😎✌🏻⚡️

Let's not over-complicate things.

You're a one-of-a-kind, creative human.

You have a unique perspective and combination of skills, talents, strengths & experiences that make you, well...YOU.

Branding your biz doesn't have to feel overwhelming & confusing.

⚡️It's about knowing WHO YOU ARE & WHO YOU'RE NOT.

It's about having self-awareness and clear distinctions between your "True Self" & your "False Self".

Having the awareness of both your "true self" & "false self" is key before any of the structures & strategies that you keep getting taught in biz programs will even work.

With this clarity you will:
✅ Stop doubting yourself & your ideas so much.
✅ Understand the core essence & message of your brand.
✅ Be able to communicate WHAT you do with ease.
✅ Have more confidence putting yourself out there.
✅ Authentically connect with & attract aligned clients.

This all sounds pretty simple. And it is.

👉🏻 BUT, due to the nature of the human ego, and it's insidious ability to blind you from your own truth it's not always easy.

That's why I've developed a method of branding that you can't find anywhere else.

I developed it because I know that getting clear on the TRUTH of your own brand (by yourself) is really fu***ng hard.

Especially as a multi-passionate creative with so many ideas!

I know what it's like to have so many pieces that you want to incorporate & to struggle knowing 'HOW' to package & present them all in a way that is clear & cohesive.

For me, it wasn't until I gained this DEEP (beyond surface level!) self-awareness & started to reconnect to (and trust!) my own inner knowing again that things started to move forward in my business.

⚡️I attracted new clients.
⚡️I launched my first group program.
⚡️I dropped my self-doubt & had more confidence showing up online.

Does any of this resonate?

✌🏻YOU HAVE TWO SIDES AT PLAY.

Two sides fighting for your power in any given moment.

The question is: What side is going to win? 🤔

Obviously most of us are going to (consciously) choose our "True Self"...BUT it's not always that easy.

⚡️In order to have TRUE CHOICE you must be aware of the specific ways your "False Self" plays out.

🤓Like Carl Jung said: "Until we make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate."

To get to the TRUTH of yourself & your unique "brand" you must see the information your subconscious is getting from both sides.

Both your TRUE SELF & your FALSE (Conditioned) SELF.

Then and only then can you consciously choose (and be in) YOUR TRUTH.

⚡️The name of the game for brand building in the 21st-century is TRUTH.

"Consumers" (aka: HUMANS) are sick of gimmicky, packaged BS.

It's time to drop the masks and show up authentically as WHO YOU TRULY ARE.

☝🏻Simple, but due to the natue of the human ego, not always easy.

When you are not clear on who you truly are you will:

😩Limit, doubt & question yourself
😩Not trust your ideas any "good"
😩Overthink decisions
😩Stay stuck in confusion & "not knowing"
😩Compare yourself to others
😩Outsource your power
😩Procrastinate
😩Project fear & worry
😩 Hide

BUT Imagine if you could:

⚡️Deeply trust yourself.
⚡️Run with one of your many ideas.
⚡️Be clear on what your unique brand even is.
⚡️Put yourself out there with confidence.
⚡️Show up & communicate with ease.
⚡️Realize you have everything you need right now to build your dream life & biz.

😃Sound good?

A common thing I hear from the people I work with is:

😩 "I'm not confident putting myslf out there."
😩 "I don't know what to say on social media."
😩 "I'm horrible at public speaking."
😩 "What if people judge me?"

I get it. I still s**t myself when I show up to speak live.

I used to be so bad at it that I would just go blank and not have the words to say what I wanted to say. 😳

It's something I knew I wanted to get better at - as I know the power of speaking & also know it's one of the best mediums for my audience to connect with me and get to know me.

But I can tell you I didn't get better by sitting around thinking about it.

👉🏻 In this post I share the top 5 things that have helped me become more confident putting myself out there as I trust they will help you to.

Here they are...(and make sure you suss the carosel post above cuz I go into each in more detail 😉)

1️⃣ Practice talking to your phone.
2️⃣ Get clear on your brand & values.
3️⃣ Gain awareness of your ego.
4️⃣ F**k perfectionism.
5️⃣ Say bye bye to comparison.

I'd love to know if these resonate.

Have you been wanting to gain confidence putting yourself out there online so you can grow your brand?

Also, specifcally related to number 2️⃣ and getting clear on your brand & values...

I am running another round of my 2-Day (Online) 'Branding with you Intuition' workshop on April 10th/11th. In this workshop you will:

⚡️Get clear on WHAT your brand even is.
⚡️Learn to access your intuition on demand.
⚡️Increase your ability to put yourself out there with confidence.
⚡️Learn to build your brand from more self-trust (vs. self-doubt).
⚡️Be able to show up & communicate with more ease & flow.

Some of the last participants said,

"This workshop really opened my eyes to a more feminine way of looking at my biz - which gave me more ease, flow & intention when putting myself out there."

"I used to think of branding as a creative marketing push from the head. After the workshop, my view of bradning changed and now I see it as a free flow intuitive experience that I enjoy."

We all have s**tty (often unconscious) beliefs that hold us back from doing the cool s**t we're here to do.

👉🏻If you think you're excluded, then I'd say you def need a ego reality check!...but that's for another post 😳🤣

In this post I lay down 12 of the most common unconscious beliefs us humans have.
Even if you have other ones you're aware, they'll usually always point back to these suckers:

1) "I'm unworthy" 👉🏻 S**t belief seeking love and approval
2) "I'm not good enough" 👉🏻 S**t belief seeking wholeness
3) "I don't belong" 👉🏻 S**t belief seeking self identity
4) "I need to control myself" 👉🏻 S**t belief seeking egoic orientation
5) "I can't trust myself" 👉🏻 S**t belief seeking viability & safety
6) "I insignificant" 👉🏻 S**t belief seeking avoidance of violation
7) "I don't have the capacity" 👉🏻 S**t belief seeking scope & capacity
8) "There is a right way" 👉🏻 S**t belief seeking predictability
9) "There is a way things are" 👉🏻 S**t belief seeking certainty & knowledge
10)"I'm powerless" 👉🏻 S**t belief seeking external results/symbols of power
11)"I'm not allowed to capable" 👉🏻 S**t belief seeking freedom
12)"I'm need to be perfect" 👉🏻 S**t belief seeking peace, relief & resolution

Now it's not that these beliefs (or the things they seek to resolve) are necessarily "bad" BUT if we're unconsious of them then they have the power over us.

⚡️ You need to become aware of what's operating behind the scenes in order to "unhook" and gain a greater ability to re-assign your power CONSCIOUSLY towards what you'd truly love to create.

⚡️For example, if you've been thinkin' about launching a business for ages and not actually doing it, then there's a good chance your being stifled by one of the above beliefs (or a variation of one).

SO WHAT DO YOU DO?
1️⃣ Get honest with yourself. Which of these can you identify with? Let yourself really see this s**t operating in you. Don't try to push it away. Be with it & take your power back!
2️⃣ Define what you'd love. What would you truly love to create?
3️⃣ Show your subconscious who's boss & FOLLOW-THRU 👉🏻 In reality! - not just in your head thinkin' about the damn thing! **thappen

Along with logo & color palette obsession, picking brand fonts weirdly seems to be one of the things that hangs the people I work with up when it comes to their branding.

These 3 things have a sneaky way of provoking our inner "creative saboteur" which is usually taking a big stand for perfectionism, getting it "right", covering all bases to make sure what we put out there is "good enough" & protecting our image.

I've seen people stay in (usually unconscious) resistance working days on trying to perfect their visual branding & get it all "right" before they put themselves & their brands out into the REAL world!

Meanwhile, not realizing that the big thing they're really avoiding is BEING SEEN.

So I wanted to simplify the process of choosing your brands fonts so you can move onto the stuff that makes a bigger impact for you & your brand, which is VISABILITY.

Follow these 5 tips, get unstuck from the perfectionism trap and make some intentional choices that work. (Keep It Simple!)

There are a ga-zillion possibilities with fonts and other design choices for your brand, but I hope this bit of structure helps you move onto unleashing your vision & creative-expression in the world!

Feel free to DM ME if you have any questions & if you're struggling with knowing WHAT your brand even is, then my signature branding course 'Stoke Your Brand' is designed with you in mind.

It's a 12-week branding immersion where we delve into the heart of your brand, establish your brand foundtions & set you up to put yourself out there with clarity & confidence.

YES we cover your brands 'visual identity' (which intentionally chosen fonts are a part of 😉), but we also delve into the deeper layers (the other 90%) of your brand so you can communicate with more clarity & explain WHAT you do with more ease.

If you're interested in being a part of the next round, I'm currently accepting applications.

👉🏻 DM ME and I'll give you the next steps or fill out an application on my website and I'll be in contact. I'd love to be your brand guide and see your ideas & brought to life in the world!
👉🏻 Also please share with a friend if you think it would be a good fit.❤️

While I do think having some structrue and defined direction around your "brand" is important (as it eliminates chaos & overwhelm)...Branding stuck in rigid rules is dead. Yep I said it. DEAD.🙅🏻‍♀️☠️

Branding has been going this way (of flexability, agility and real-time creative expression) for about a decade but if 2020 hasn't been a wake up call to us all and big ol' slap in the face that times have changed then I don't know what will be.

As brand creators, it's not that we have to "react" to the external happenings of the world, but if we are not observing the current reality with discernment and adjusting ourselves/brands accordingly then we can run the risk of being IRRELEVANT pretty quickly.

Don't believe me? Check out this quote from brand strategist Vickie Vainionpaa...

"Consumer values have shifted from cherishing stability to championing freedom and creative expression. Static design is on it’s way out. Our world is now fully responsive — across devices, media and platforms, a brand must stand out while remaining recognizable and delivering a consistent message."

The word that stands out to me here is RESPONSIVE.

To me a 'responsive' individual or brand is NOT reactive, but willing to take stock of where they're currently at and intentionally guide their focus towards a future they wish to have exist - while staying grounded in their [true] identity & expression.

21st century [responsive & relevant] brands are:

⚡️Willing to look at themselves with discernment regularly.
("Check yo' self before you wreck yo' self" 🎶)

⚡️Imperfect
(no more agonizing over "perfect" logo's! 😉)

⚡️Fluid
(they change with the times without losing their true essence)

⚡️Creative
(making new connections & not stuck in comparison or how it's been done before)

⚡️Transparent & Always Evolving
(learning out loud & not stuck in rigid rules)

⚡️HUMAN
(empathic & speak like a real-damn person vs. overly intellectualized inner jargon babble 🙄)

SO, let this post be your permission slip to 🙅🏻‍♀️STOP🙅🏻‍♀️ perfectionism & boring rigid approaches to branding and unleash your TRUE CREATIVE EXPRESSION in the world!

Have fun with it and let yourself PLAY! 🥳🎨🤠✨

Does your social media presense and self-promo game look a little like the guy in that image?👇🏻Be honest.

When was the last time you actually showed your TRUE-MESSY-SELF & BRAND on social media?

Have you been hiding?
Afraid of what others might think?
Worried your "branding" won't meet your inner perfectionists standards?

Or maybe you've been imagining yourself showing up online to grow that biz you've been thinkin' and dreamin' about but NOT actually showing up IN REALITY?

There's a distinct and obvious difference between REAL & IMAGINED realities.
YET☝🏻, here's the kicker...

Your sub-conscious mind doesn't know the difference between the two!? 🤯

So what does that mean for your online presense?
The one you've be dreamin' about and imagining but not actually showing up in the 3D for?

🤔 It usually means it's pretty non-existent.
🙃 It usually means you're waiting for the "right" time.
🧐 It usually means you've been hiding.

Sorry ( 🙊) of the reality check but I had to go there.

I do it out of service and from my heart, as I wish someone would have dropped that on me WAY sooner.

Why?

So I could have got on with establishing a legit online presense and growing my business/brand IN REALITY a whole lot sooner then I did.

The truth is you could have the most epic brand and offerings in the entire world, but if nobody knows about them, then, well...nobody knows about them! 🙃

If you're interested in creating a legit brand and having a REAL online presence?

I've created two things to help you (finally) start making it happen:

1️⃣ The 'Build a Legit Brand Playbook' (it's FREE! via link in my bio)
⚡️It's a 15-page ebook where I give you my 8 best tips for starting your brand.

2️⃣ 'Stoke Your Brand'
- My 12-Week Signature Branding Program for newbie biz owners that want to sort the foundations of their brand and start establishing their online presense. 👉🏻 Obvs so they can grow their biz and attract heart-alighned clients 😉.
⚡️ I'm currently accepting applications! So drop a 🔥 emoji if you're curious about it or feel free to DM ME 💌)

Let's get those creative ideas out of hiding and into reality!
