Why Branding Matters in Your Personal Brand

Welcome to the first episode of the newly branded Muthership Creator Strategy podcast! 🎉

It feels perfectly fitting that we’re kicking things off with an episode all about—what else?—branding.

In this debut rebranded episode, Helen breaks down one of the most misunderstood parts of being a creator: your personal brand. And spoiler—it's not about logos, color palettes, or fancy visuals. It’s about the feeling you give people every time they land on your content.

Helen shares how she unintentionally became a brand long before she ever named it, why even small posting choices can shift how others perceive you, and how staying true to who you are online helps your audience instantly recognize your “vibe.” From defining your brand through your personality, tone, mission, and style, to understanding how consistency builds trust, this episode is a grounded, personal look at what branding actually means for creators.

She also opens up about her own evolution—from baking videos to tutorials to the full-circle moment when everything from the studio to the newsletter naturally gravitated back to “The Muthership.” It’s a candid conversation about ego, humility, clarity, and letting your brand grow with you instead of forcing it into a box.
